    The CMHC Apartment Construction Loan Program provides low cost funding to eligible borrowers during the riskiest phase of product development of rental apartments (construction through to stabilized operations).

    The program offers loans ranging from a minimum of $1,000,000 up to 100% of the cost of the residential component.

    The program focuses on standard rental apartment projects in Canada with general occupants where there is a need for additional rental housing supply.

    Note: This program does not support construction of niche housing types such as retirement homes, single room occupancy and student housing. To learn about funding for niche housing types, please visit mortgage loan insurance for affordable and market rental housing.

  5. McCredie making significant investments following the purchase of the 40-year-old brand

    Residential real estate firms continue to keep close tabs on the data they share with clients and the public. Statistics are closely guarded by the major real estate associations, with licensed agents holding on to information the real estate associations considers proprietary.

    “Canadians are some of the worst-served consumers of real estate when it comes to public data related to real estate. I think it’s the worst in the developed world,” said Ross McCredie, principal of McCredie Investments, served as chief global strategist to San Francisco-based Pacific Union International Inc. and CEO of its subsidiary, The Mark Company, from 2016 to 2020 following his sale of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada Ltd. in 2015.

  7. B.C. Financial Services Authority says Pacific Evergreen Realty agents and brokers not complicit in fraud

    A fraudulent scheme that saw an unoccupied home in Richmond, B.C., sold without the owner's consent has led to more than $300,000 in discipline penalties and costs for the real estate agents and brokers involved.

    According to a notice from the B.C. Financial Services Authority (BCFSA), the Pacific Evergreen Realty agents and managing brokers involved in the 2019 sale were not complicit in the scam, but "they failed to take reasonable measures at multiple points in the transaction."

    The BCFSA says at least two men were involved in the fraud. One posed as the owner of the house and used a fake driver's licence to get a notarized power of attorney, while the second posed as the attorney to conduct the sale.

  8. Cottage Country - Will Home Prices Bottom Out in 2024

    As the Bank of Canada’s rate hikes caught up to homeowners, the 2023 Canadian housing market was characterized by tightening affordability and buyer uncertainty. 

    We’ve already seen many would-be buyers return to the sidelines this fall, with month-over-month sales plunging in October by 3.4% nationally, and unless prices come down, those buyers won’t be enticed to re-enter the market for non-essential purchases.

  9. For Better or for Worse

    Single family zoning is now eliminated throughout the province in areas with a population greater than 5000 people. It doesn’t mean you can’t building single family houses anymore, it just means you can’t restrict multiple units on a single family lot. Here’s the coles notes to share with your buddy at the water cooler:

    • Municipalities have until June 30, 2024 to update their zoning bylaws to comply with the legislation.

    • All single family zoning must allow one secondary suite and/or an ADU (accessory dwelling unit, also known as a coach house or laneway)

    • All single family zoning must now allow a minimum of 3 units on a lot size 3000sqft or less

    • Allow a minimum of 4 units on lots larger than 3000sqft

    • Allow a minimum of 6 units if within 400 meters of a bus stop and the lot must be larger than 3025sqft.

    • Minimum of 3 storey building height 

    • Sets out recommended legislation for minimum site coverage depending on lot size

    • Sets out recommended legislation for maximum parking requirements
