House prices continue to climb

Globe and Mail Update
The average price of a residential home in Canada rocketed to a national record high of $311,101 in February.
That price tag is a 10-per-cent leap from last February's average price of $282,744, the Canadian Real Estate Association said in a report released Wednesday. Average prices hit new highs in cities across the country last month - including Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Hamilton-Burlington, London & St. Thomas, Ottawa, Quebec City and Saint John.
CREA Chief Economist Gregory Klump said that after remaining mostly flat throughout the 1990s, existing home prices in Canada have been on a tear, surging 61 per cent from $193,731 in February, 2002.
The massive price gains have undoubtedly priced out some buyers, Mr. Klump said, adding that decreased housing affordability is fuelling sales in multi-unit buildings such as town houses and condominiums.
Despite the higher prices, Canadians continue to snap up existing homes and by all accounts, the spring market is shaping up to be a busy one.
Existing home sales in major markets across the country, as measured through the Multiple Listing Service, dipped 1 per cent from January's record level of 30,267 to 29,955 units in February the CREA said, as activity in Toronto eased from the previous month.
But last month's unit sales are the second-highest level ever reached and Mr. Klump expects resale housing activity will close the first quarter with a fresh record.
"Given the fact that January was an all-time record high, no there is very little sign that we are slowing down," he said. "A one-per-cent decline from a record high seems insignificant. The fact is that activity remains very strong."
With smaller numbers of new listings coming on the market during the month, the resale housing market was tighter than at any other point since September, 2005, the CREA said.
New residential listings fell 3.2 per cent to 46,323 units in February, with Vancouver and Toronto leading the monthly declines.

Buyers in Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary and Winnipeg are looking at the tightest markets.
