And in Montreal Canada’s second largest city often flies under the
resale market that pushed the average price up 3.5 per cent in April
of 2012 . This is a market that needs demand to remain very robust as any hiccup in sales will leave an extreme imbalance in supply and demand that would pressure prices in short order.
In general The Island of Montréal posted a more moderate increase in residential sales at 5 per cent, with a total of 5,143 transactions in the second quarter of the year.

REAL ESTATE SHOW
JULY 18TH 2012
JULY 18TH 2012
Canada real estate market specifically Montreal , are we at a tipping point and why are Israeli investors buying real real estate in Atlanta Georgia?
Introduction
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s efforts to avert a housing
bubble is speeding the end of a six-year streak of outperforming the
U.S. economy. Changes implemented in March, include shortening the maximum length of government-insured mortgages to 25 years from 30 years to quell demand for new homes and curb record household borrowing that the finance minister of Canada said has become a greater risk to the economy than slowing growth. The rule changes make it harder for some buyers to qualify for mortgages.
I believe that the consumer is all tapped out, and we are seeing
fiscal restraint in Canada, therefore the housing market has no room
to grow or has slowdown.
Canada’s economy is projected to grow by 2.1% this year, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg, down from a pace of 2.4% in 2011 and 3.2% in 2010.
U.S. growth will accelerate to 2.2% from 1.7% last year, economist’s project; marking the first time since 2005 Canada has lagged its biggest trading partner the United States.

Five Canadian cities - Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, and
Montreal - account for nearly half of Canada’s population.
In Vancouver no other Canadian city (and few globally) exhibits such a disconnect between house prices and underlying fundamentals. It appears that perhaps this disconnect is starting to weigh on demand
And in Toronto the real estate market is red-hot; once again it posted more-than-10 per cent year-over-year gain in April 2012. But the once-hot condo market has cooled with resale prices rising 2.8 per cent on a year-over-year basis, a trend I expect will persist. Resale prices in Toronto have outpaced fundamentals and a “cool off” period is certainly , long overdue.
But that won’t happen until supply and demand return to more historic levels.
Montreal - account for nearly half of Canada’s population.
In Vancouver no other Canadian city (and few globally) exhibits such a disconnect between house prices and underlying fundamentals. It appears that perhaps this disconnect is starting to weigh on demandfor houses, with average resale prices falling 10 per cent on a
year-over-year basis since April 2012.
The key trend to watch for now in Vancouver is how sales will perform
relative to the inventory of existing homes on the market.

But that won’t happen until supply and demand return to more historic levels.
And in Montreal Canada’s second largest city often flies under the
radar in discussions of regional bubbles, but the fundamentals here
are somewhat concerning. On the supply/demand front, there is
currently substantially more inventory on this market than ever
before. What is saving the Montréal market has been a very strongresale market that pushed the average price up 3.5 per cent in April
of 2012 . This is a market that needs demand to remain very robust as any hiccup in sales will leave an extreme imbalance in supply and demand that would pressure prices in short order.
"The residential real estate market was very active in the Montréal area, particularly in the suburbs, said Diane Ménard, Vice-President of the Board of Directors and spokesperson for the Québec Federation of Real Estate Boards (QFREB) for the Montréal area. She Said "The North Shore and Vaudreuil-Soulanges areas actually set new sales records in the second quarter of the year with 3,006 and 700 transactions, respectively, while sales in Laval and on the South
Shore of Montréal registered larger sales increases compared to the second quarter of 2011 with jumps of 17 and 16 per cent, respectively," she added.
In general The Island of Montréal posted a more moderate increase in residential sales at 5 per cent, with a total of 5,143 transactions in the second quarter of the year.

perform, compared other major Canadian cities?
A house that’s been on the market for one year with three price
reductions gives a whole different message than a house that’s been on for 6 month with no price reductions; are we starting to see a glimpse of that in this market, sellers reducing there price?

Historically low mortgage rates, new job creation and consumer
confidence in the economy and the housing market, have led to price increases. Do you expects the local housing market to be more balanced for the rest of the year and house prices to stabilize due to a gradual increase in inventory over the coming months in the Montreal area?

Historically investors have focused on Gateway US Cities like New York

Atlanta is known for its unique transportation and logistical

the average employee age is 39 years old. Georgia is a right to work
state, you cannot be forced to join a union. Georgia has the 3rd
lowest unionization rate in the US just 4%.
Atlanta is a great location for education. There are 57 colleges and

for Emory and Georgia Tech, both recently recognized in the top 20 in
and top 100 in the world. These and other schools provide both an
educated students and research partnerships for business. Atlanta

research with over 1 billion annually. Atlanta is also home to 3
historically African American private colleges, Morehouse, Clark and

Atlanta offers a very low cost of doing business. Low commercial

populations.
Most come to Atlanta because of the business and educational
advantages. There is a very active American-Israeli Chamber of
Commerce that serves 500 members in the SE United States.
The Atlanta area is now considered one of the top 5 centers in North
America for Israeli company activity with over 45 Israeli companies
establishing their US or regional headquarters. Atlanta is also home
to an Israeli Consulate.
Atlanta has become a hot location for real estate investment. Atlanta
has consistently been attractive to businesses for the reasons above
and these are attractive reasons for real estate investors. The focus
on Atlanta has heated up because Atlanta real estate offers superior
returns to investors due to the current highly distressed pricing.
Unlike many metro markets, Atlanta has no natural barriers or boarders
to growth. There is no ocean, lake, mountain range, or international
boundary that restricts growth.
That helped moderate prices. Atlanta added one million new residents
between 1980 to 1990, another million between 1990 to 2000 and a
million more residents between 2000 to 2007. With this rapid growth,
housing prices remained moderate and did not spike to the same degree
as markets like Florida, California, New York and Nevada.
Atlanta’s bubble was not in pricing but in construction.
In the price bubble markets despite dramatic declines, prices remain above
their early 2000 price levels. Atlanta’s prices in most markets are
below 1998 levels and our clients are frequently purchasing older
properties those built in the 1980s below the early 1980 sale prices.
This is unprecedented, unbelievable, truly a once in a life time
opportunity. As businesses began shedding jobs, many of these last
hired people were the first fired, and many of these people purchased
new homes in that 2002-2006 period. There was a 50 month supply of
new homes when job growth stopped in Atlanta in 2008. These homes can
be purchased at 60-70 per cent off their early to mid-2000 prices.
Approximately 50% of their replacement costs.
It is not unusual for an investor to buy a home in an attractive
neighborhood 10-15 miles from the central business district in the
40’s that sold in the 150’s in the mid 2000’s. This home can be
renovated to like new condition for under $15000 and rented for an
average of 1000 per month.
This results in a 8-11% net cash on cash return and the potential for
100% or more appreciation when markets recover. Many ask why? One
pillar of the location economy, Atlanta’s large corporations shed jobs
quickly in 2007/2008 they have been slow to rehire. Construction
historically was a large sector of the local economy collapsed from a
peak of nearly 80000 new residential units built to a low near 6000
in 2010. From 1990 to 2007 Atlanta was either #1 or #2 in housing
starts.
Building and construction which accounted for 15% of the market
dropped to under 5% with a rippling effect throughout the economy. A
third pillar of the local economy, small business typically obtained
funds to start and expand their businesses by borrowing against their
homes. With dramatic price declines, and highly restrictive lending
criteria, this source of funding for small business growth
disappeared. The result, Atlanta has experienced higher than the
national unemployment for 50 plus months.
Housing prices have declined further and faster than other markets,
and created an unprecedented opportunity for value investors.
Georgia is a title state which allows lenders to foreclose quickly
without having to take the borrower to Court. Georgia has typically
been in the top 5 in foreclosure activity. The issues of Robo signing
and having to prove the borrower is in default and the lender is
entitled to foreclose in court is not required, simply providing a 30
day notice of default and advertising the sale at the court house
steps for 4 consecutive weeks is all that is needed for a lender to
foreclose. Metro wide, 35% of homes are under water. Looking in
those newer communities Built in the 2000-2008 period it’s more like
90%+.
The only sales are REOs and Short Sales. Although there should be a
line around the block to buy these homes, many have been vandalized
and require paint, carpet, appliances and HVAC making them
unattractive to the typical home owner. Lenders are reluctant to lend
on properties below $50000, or needing renovation, limiting to pool of
potential buyers to cash investors. Not know as big spenders. For
those investors who understand the underlying value of the Atlanta
Market, and the reality that buying at 50% or less of the replacement
cost will result in a 100% gain stand to make huge profits. In many
markets prices have bottomed and started up.
This was especially true in the March to May period. Warren Buffet
says real estate is the best investment out there and if he could buy
100000 homes he would. In that period employment improved, it
looked like a European debt deal was a reality. Our investors were
often out bid at 10-20% above list price. Growing concerns have
erased much of that premium and we are successfully purchasing at very
attractive prices we experienced in the 2009 to early 2012 period.
Rents have risen and remained stable. A number of statistical
providers indicate Atlanta offers the best investment returns in the
country when looking at purchase price to rental rate.
This has caused a boom in the Atlanta apartment market with prices increasing
20% plus, cap rates on the most desirable properties have fallen below
4% going in, with the hope of rental increases increasing yields.
Apartment investors have expressed confidence in Atlanta’s growth,
there were 1725 units started in 2010, 4100 units started in 2011 and
multi-family data provider The Reid Report is predicting over 10000
new starts for 2102.
