RE/MAX Commercial Investor Report 2016

EDMONTON

At the end of the second quarter, the number of commercial building and land sales was down eight per cent year-over-year and the value of those sales was down five per cent, marking the second consecutive year that sales value totaled less than $1 billion at mid-year.

Land sales declined by 40 per cent year-over-year, indicative of a slowing economy, but the total dollar value of building sales was up 13 per cent compared with the first half of 2015. Property values have remained fairly stable, with the exception of industrial property related to oilfield companies, which has seen a decline. Capitalization rates are trending modestly upward in most asset cases.

Private investors are the most active buyer segment in Edmonton’s commercial property market, while institutional investors have been more conservative since the downturn in the Alberta economy. Demand from investors for top tier assets in all sectors remained high in the first half of the year. These include multi-family apartment, well-positioned retail, and industrial with well-capitalized tenants.

Despite the economic downturn, vacancy rates in Edmonton were fairly healthy at mid-year. The vacancy rate for industrial property was at six per cent, multi-family was at five per cent and retail was at 3.5 per cent. For office space, the vacancy rate is higher, at approximately 12 per cent. This is expected to increase as 1.8 million square feet of new inventory come onto the market beginning in 2017.

Increased vacancy typically results in a decrease in land sales as development slows down; however, there are assets available in the market that are attracting buyers who feel it is the time to increase their asset positions as world oil prices slowly recover. Alternatively, some commercial sellers are looking to dispose of assets, seeing the increase in vacancy and potentially a decrease in rental rates as a threat to their asset value.

Until the WTI benchmark price of oil stabilizes at or above $50 per barrel, Edmonton’s commercial property market is expected to remain in a down cycle. A new provincial carbon tax comes into effect in January 2017, which is expected to further curtail capital investment and have a negative impact on the provincial economy.

On a more positive note, significant downtown development continues to boost employment and optimism. The $2 billion ICE District, featuring a new arena as well as office towers, hotels, entertainment venues and a museum, is revitalizing the city’s downtown. The Anthony Henday Ring Road, scheduled to be completed this fall, is expected to unlock further development opportunities in Edmonton’s northeast.

Realtor Reviews : Troy & Susanne on Don Cholak

“We worked with Don for a few months in 2016 looking for the “perfect” home to suit our needs, and to sell our current house. When we initially started working with Don we were thinking of downsizing and informed him of this—not certain if this was the right time for us to sell. Don did not hesitate to work with us, and from conversation he knew what we were looking for. He provided us with listings to view or we contacted him with house we wanted to see and these were booked for us to view. When viewing a house Don would provide us with information on the neighborhood, comparable listings, and what he saw as the “pros and cons” to meet our needs. When we were ready to sell, Don talked us through the process of listing price, paperwork, open houses, and viewings. Our house sold quickly! When we finally found our perfect home, Don again provided great service on making an offer and what needed to be done to close the deal. Throughout the process Don always respected our lifestyle, work hours, and family time.”

Fall Home Maintenance

The days are getting noticeably shorter, and maybe there’s a nip in the air – fall is definitely on its way. Now is the perfect time to get your home in shape before winter rolls in, while the weather is still pleasant enough for spending time outdoors.

Seal it up: Caulk and seal around exterior door and window frames. Look for gaps where pipes or wiring enter the home and caulk those as well. Not only does heat escape from these openings, but water can enter and may eventually cause structural damage and mold problems.

Look up: Check the roof for missing or damaged shingles. Winter weather can cause serious damage to a vulnerable roof, leading to a greater chance of further damage inside the home. Although you should always have a qualified professional inspect and repair the roof, you can do a preliminary survey from the ground using binoculars.

Clear it out: Clear gutters and eaves troughs of leaves, sticks, and other debris. Consider installing leaf guards if your gutters can accommodate them – they are real time savers and can prevent damage from clogged gutters. Check the joints between sections of gutter, as well as between the gutter and downspouts, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs.

No hose: In climates with freezing weather, drain garden hoses and store them indoors to protect them from the elements. Shut off outdoor faucets and make sure exterior pipes are drained of water. Faucets and pipes can easily freeze and burst, causing leaks and potentially serious water damage.

Warm up time: Have the furnace inspected to ensure it’s safe and in good working order. Most utility companies will provide no-cost inspections, but there can often be a long waiting list come fall and winter. Replace disposable furnace air filters or clean the permanent type according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Using a clean filter will help the furnace run more efficiently, saving you money and energy.

Light that fire: If you enjoy the crackle of a wood-burning fireplace on a chilly fall evening, have the firebox and chimney professionally cleaned before using it this season. Creosote, a byproduct of wood burning, can build up to dangerous levels and cause a serious chimney fire if not removed.
