OTTAWA — Canadian house prices dropped in November for the first time in nearly a year, according to the monthly Teranet-National Bank house price index released Wednesday.
The 0.2% drop followed two months of flat prices, and was the first decline in the index since a “brief correction during the three months ending November 2010,” said National Bank senior economist Marc Pinsonneault.
The national composite index, which tracks registered prices of homes sold at least twice, shows prices fell in eight of the 11 metropolitan markets tracked — one more than in October.
“Calgary and Victoria stood out with declines of 1.6% and 0.9% respectively,” said Mr. Pinsonneault, noting the declines were much smaller in the other six markets, though declines in Toronto, Hamilton and Winnipeg “are noteworthy in that these three markets are considered tight.” Want to read more in depth on this article?

With real estate being one of the top performing sectors in 2011 — the S&P/TSX Capped REIT index was up by 15%, or 24 percentage points above the return for the S&P/TSX composite — some have argued real estate won’t generate a repeat performance this year.
But Jeffrey Olin, a former real estate executive turned investment banker turned portfolio manager at Vision Capital Corp. isn’t in that camp. Mr. Olin, who co-oversees the three property funds that are home to about $100-million in assets, believes the fundamentals continue to be attractive.
“The prospect of low-long-term Japanese-style interest rates for the foreseeable future bodes extremely well,” said Mr. Olin, citing a 2.85% 10-year mortgage recently given to one of the country’s largest apartment rental companies.

Ron Chapman saw the big wind roaring towards Calgary an hour before it arrived and was able to warn city hall to prepare.
That’s one reason there were no serious injuries when recent 120 kilometres per hour wind gusts sent windows and other debris flying off downtown office towers.
Chapman, of world renowned wind experts RWDI, wishes he could have done the same thing for his hometown of Goderich, which was clobbered last August by 300 km/h winds that killed one man, injured 37 other residents and caused millions in property damage.
“Most of the homes on my old paper route were seriously damaged by that tornado,” said Chapman. Want to read more in depth on this article? Just click the link below.
