Albertans are Driving BC Resort Real Estate Suites in Search For the Best B.C. Recreational Pursuits

An Update on How Albertans are the driving force behind the last decade of BC resort real estate and recreational property throughout the Okanagan, Kootenays, Shuswap, Vancouver Island and beyond

Albertans may have eased up a little bit on the accelerator, but they are still driving the BC recreational real estate market forward into new and exciting horizons. Even after racing through a few record breaking BC resort real estate sales show they still have something left in the gas tank. This is an extremely well written and educational article written by D. Murray. Fueled by record-profits in the oil and gas industries and its related services and products, Albertans continue to shop for secondary homes in prime recreational real estate hot spots in the province of British Columbia. Leaving their footprints as far west as Vancouver Island resort real estate (partly because of the improved air service to Comox), Albertans still make their first choice for second homes and resort real estate purchases in the eastern and central regions of the BC recreational real estate market – where a holiday is within reasonable driving distance. “We are still seeing Albertans driving the demand for BC recreational real estate in the Okanagan, Kootenays, SHuswap regions,” said Curt of Lift Real Estate Sales and Marketing. “Although the recreational and BC residential markets are now becoming more normalized across BC, the demand for excellent recreational property still remains strong as the supply of that property is limited in BC.” And who can blame Albertans for wanting a piece of BC resort real estate paradise? No one! “Albertans lead the charge here,” said Robert the Economic Development Corporation executive director for Kelowna. “Resort property has been on the increase in this region and it is appealing to buyers primarily in Alberta.” After sampling a taste of summer on idyllic lakeside resort beaches, prairie people like Albertans are often tempted to turn a vacation location into a second home thorugh purchasing BC resort real estate properties close to home. It may be just for themselves on long weekend golf trips, summer holidays on the lake or winter ski getaways. Other Albertans enjoy extra income gained from renting their resort BC properties. All remain confident that the real estate investment in BC recreational property is solid for the long-term – perhaps for retirement or as a family legacy for generations to come.

A Higher Level View of BC Recreational Real Estate and the Albertan Influence

Albertans are still a strong influence in the BC resort real estate market throughout the Kootenays, Crowsnest and in the Okanagan. “You have a lot of Albertans enjoying the benefits of strong oil prices and looking for enjoying the lifestyle that can bring hem,” explained Elton of RE/MAX. “That is certainly where recreational property in BC is so attractive – specifically the Okanagan resort real estate market because of our summers, the lake and our winters too with the ski resorts. Our overall climate and four season recreational lifestyle is extremely appealing to not only Albertans but people across Canada.” Through much of southern BC resort real estate, golf season is a few months longer and ski trips are just a few minutes away form the major cities in BC – rather than hours. High in our majestic mountains, powder snow falls much more frequently through winter and the soft turns last longer int eh quieter locations from the Kootenays resort real estate to the Thompson Okanagan recreational property that Albertans love so much. In addition, summer boating, swimming and an abudance of water sports are popular in BC’s many large and lovely lakes – a geographic anomaly in Alberta. The many lures keep them driving here through every season. “I’m blown away with the number of Albertans in Kelowna and Westbank,” said Robert, sales director for Platinum Project. “It’s about lifestyle – Albertans seem to love BC real estate. We are seeing about 40 per cent of our purchasers at Copper Sky come from Alberta. They have lots of money – It has been a good number of years for them in their industry. They can now go anywhere they want and they still choose the Okanagan resort real estate market. They love the climate, they love the summer.” BC’s longer golf season has spurred the creation of new courses and golf communities in recent years to keep up with demand by our Albertan neighbours. There new golf courses opened in the Shuswap last year, two more were added to the Okanagan golf real estate market this summer and the Kootenays have a handful more adding to the mix recently or in the coming years. High-end BC golf communities are combining with ocean views to offer year round play on the greens on Vancouver Island. A report released at the end fo August confirmed that Albertans topped the list of home buyers in the Parksville/Qualicum region and were second in the Comox area for home purchasers of real estate of all types through the MLS in 2007. Independtly marketed BC resort properties on Vancouver Island were not accounted for in this survey. Besides Victoria, Albertans bought an average of 14 per cent of island properties last year – up from 10 per cent of the whole property market in 2006. After buying 19 per cent of the properties on the northern Gulf Islands in 2006 (a close second to Vancouver homebuyers), Albertans dropped to 10 per cent last year. This was the only region that reported as high as 15 per cent of purchases were destined to be vacation BC property real estate. Across the rest of Vancouver Ilsnad, about 95 per cent of the 2,100 responders purchased for principal residences.

BC Recreational Real Estate Beats Resident Property

Many BC recreational properties are bucking the downturn seen in most Canadian residential real estate markets over the past year (a natural evolution of the real estate cycle, especially after a long boom). BC’s resort properties remain sailing forward – although challenged to negotiate among the tumultuous seas rippling out from the US sub-prime mortgage storm. “The demand for BC recreational property has remained strong, however buyers are looking further afield,” said Elton, as he summarized some of the diminished sales reports through the RE/MAX annual spring survey of BC recreational properties. “Western Canada is now starting to feel some affects of a slowing world economy.” He said that some shopers are looking in the US Sunbelt, where some relative bargains arose with the falling US dollar and many foreclosures surface after the distastrous US sub-prime mortgage fiasco. Meanwhile, some US citizens also chose to sell their Canadian recreational properties to take profit through their improved currency exchange rate. The expanded inventory in BC resort real estate and recreational property clashed with a cooler than normal spring to turn a strong seller’s market towards the buyers’ favour. It’s all adding up to a year most likely to break the string of consecutive record-breaking years. “We’re coming off the longest period of economic expansion since World War II,” said Elton. “BC recreational property values have appreciated beyond our wildest dreams across the country. More balanced resort real estate market conditions are a welcome change for purchasers.” Fewer shippers were counted this spring while substantially more creational listings in BC were for sale in 41 of the 45 property markets surveyed. Still, average prices remained stable, or increased moderately from 2007 levels. “BC resort real estate market conditions have shifted, but don’t expect to see bargain basement prices or fire sales,” says Michael, the VP of RE/MAX. “The BC recreational market continues to experience solid demand – a trend that is expected to continue throughout 2008. The influx of new resort BC property listings has yet to translate into downward pressure on recreational property prices. Prime waterfront properties, while more plentiful than in year’s past, will still command top dollar.

The BC Resort Property Statistics Tell The Story

Statistics from the real estate boards through some of BC’s popular recreational areas reveal a softening of the overall real estate market – although the numbers do not show the separation of the recreational BC property market. Plus the totals don’t count a large number of sales by the developers themselves through pre-construction or presale BC resort real estate or marketing companies working outside of MLS. IN the Central Okanagan resort area, inventory is accelerating this summer and now approaching record levels on MLS according to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB). Properties of all types in Kelowna and its surrounding area climbed by 1,419 listings this July compared to 995 in July 2007 (up 43 per cent) while sales number dropped almost 40 per cent during the same time. July in the Shuswap real estate market in BC saw sales volume drop a similar 41 per cent to fall below $30 million, while the BC North Okanagan property market reported that unit sales dropped by a whopping 54 per cent. Listings were reversed in these two regions, with the Shuswap counting a 55 per cent increase over the two Julys and the North Okanagan property market climbing by 39 per cent. Still, prices continue to rise for BC resort property – although now at only half the 20-28% increase seen over the last four years. The South Okanagan Real Estate Board (SOREB) reported that MLS sales decreased by 44 per cent when comparing the last two Julys while active listings increased by 66 per cent. The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board reported milder numbers along a similar trend. Victoria’s real estate board reported sales falling in this time period by 33 per cent while inventory rose 34 percent – now standing at the highest level since May 1998. Prices are similar to where they were at this time last year, although lower than the average price was around December for resort BC property. Real estate is cyclical, and this is a return to more normal competitive market conditions. Condo development also skyrocketed, creating a lot more inventory than demand once complete. The whole baby boomer generation segment is looking at second homes or BC recreational property and certainly the Okanagan is the biggest beneficiary fo that, along with Vancouver Island. They have the wealth to do it, both Albertans and retired people. Baby boomers are clearly not the only home purchasers that appreciate the BC recreational lifestyle. Generation X is quickly becoming a force in the BC resort property marketplace, spurring demand for new condominium product on ski hills, oceanfront properties in good surf locales, and water frontage on trendy lakes with celebrity residents. Everybody has a dream of owning BC recreational property. Demand is still there and will always be there for new BC resort real estate.

Vacation Properties Take On a New Look – Community Snapshot

Another great posting by Susan B. for 24Hours newspaper. On October 15th, industry leaders and experts from across Canada gathered at Kelowna’s Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort and Conference Centre for the First Annual Canadian Resort Investment Conference. Their message was clear: The resort/vacation real estate property industry in BC is strong, but changing. In today’s hurry-up world, it’s no longer the wilderness cabin hours away form the city that draws the deepest sighs of longing from potential buyers of vacation BC resort real estate. According to a just released survey by harris/decimal, 43 per cent of respondents indicated proximity to retail outlets was a feature they wanted in a BC recreational property. Perhaps not surprisingly, 48 per cent considered a classic “beach, sun, and sand” location to be desirable but even more – 55 per cent wanted on site pools and hot tubs. An astonishing 82 per cent wanted the ability to trade either their fractional rotation or timeshare for an equivalent time slot in different resort locations around the world. Even more astonishing was the revelation only 39 per cent of people who already own some form of vacation property in BC resort real estate currently have such exchange privileges. This would appear to bode well for Private Residence Clubs, a new twist on fractional ownership that unabashedly presents lavishly upscale, exclusive resort properties with the sought after ability to vacation elsewhere. But no matter how cottage ownership changes, Lize, senior vp of consulting and research with harris/decimal, stressed the desire to vacation does not diminish, even in the face of tougher economic times. It’s part of the Canadian dream she predicts will remain strong.

Canadians are looking down south to Arizona real estate for their property investment in Phoenix, Mesa and Scottsdale. This is what you need to know:

Escaping Canadian Winters – An Article about Snowbirds Flying the Coop to Arizona Real Estate

The annual migration of Canadians to international sunspots, particularly the US Sunbelt states are increasingly appealing to those who look to enhance their quality of life. Snowbirds seek out warmer climates and spend up to six months, usually November through April, in sunny destinations to escape Canada’s inclement weather. With the strength of the Canadian dollar, coupled with the lower cost across the border, this attractive economic reality is an encouraging and motivating aspect for those who wish to trade their snowsuits for swimsuits – their raincoats for Ray-Bans. An excellent article by Tracey R., a respected writer on real estate in the US and Canada. These warmth seeking seasonal migrants endeavour to town or rent vacation real estate homes or idyllic retreats for pleasure and future retirement, usually within master planned enclaves of active adult communities or amenity laden resorts. The seasonal mass movement of population from north to south is a surging trend as the country’s population ages and baby boomers seek out a stimulating and satisfying retirement lifestyle. Arizona and California top the locale charts for the western Canadian demographics as a result of their less restrictive tax laws and lower insurance property rates. According to a recent report by the National ASssociation of Realtors, the second most popular US destination for home buying Canadians is Arizona, (the first is Florida). “In Phoenix, 752 Canadians bought homes in 2007, almost double the number of the year before,” according to Information Market, a data firm specializing in the real estate industry. “Canadians are pouring into Arizona,” says Glenn Williamson, CEO and founder of the Canada Arizona Business Council. “Some 496,000 Canadians came to Arizona last year – a very large two year jump.” Williamson credits a variety of reasons for this surge. “There are an increase in flights, an appealing climate, and a growing amount of world class amenities and international events suh as the Barrett Jackson Auto Show and the Phoenix Golf Open to name a few,” she said.

Arizona’s priciest home sale hit year was a $14 million mansion in Pardise Valley purchased by a an Ontario resident. “The stereotype that Canadians come to Arizona and buy ‘retirement’ homes has been shattered,” says Williamson, “The amount of multi million dollar homes owned by Canadians with incredible architecture and furnishings is growing at a very fast pace.” However, it doesn’t take a bulging bank account to live the good life these snowbirds are pursuing. There are so many options available for today’s winter visitors that they can design their own lifestyles to suit their financial and social preferences. The quest to heighten one’s physical, emotional and social well-being, is all part of the allure of the Canadian snowbird lifestyle in the US> Quality of life decisions are based on a number of socio economic factors, which vary from person to person depending on specific interests and needs. Climate, cost of living, culture, environment, infrastructure, leisure, safety, and economy are the most common elements potential Canadian snowbirds consider when purchasing a real estate property.

The Canadian Arizona Real Estate Connection

Cities like Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Mesa grow considerably during the winter months as people choose to purchase a second home, a perk that Canucks can take advantage of due to Canada’s continued strong housing real estate market and escalating home equity. “Canada and Canadians have been very fortunate financially in the last few years,” says Williamson. “They now have some available cash to do things – buying a second home in an ice climate is one of them; in the last 12 months, 24 per cent of all international home sales in the US have been by Canadians, and Arizona real estate is a big recipient of that number,” he says. Arizona real estate comes by its moniker,” Valley of the Sun” honestly. There are more hours of sunshine than there are in Hawaii, even more sunshine than there is in Florida, the Sunshine State. Although Arizona real estate is thought of by many as just a desert state, it has the largest contiguous strand of ponderosa pine trees in the US and over half the state is made up of mountains and plateaus. One quarter of Arizona real estate is made up of forest land, including 11.2 million acres of the National Forest. On the cosmopolitan side, Arizona’s capital city of Phoenix combines with the surrounding cities of Chandler, Glendale, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe, among other cities, to form Arizona’s rich mecca of diverse experiences. Here’s a look at where the hot spots in Arizona real estate property purchases are for snowbird Canadians right now.

Mesa Real Estate

Mesa is just minutes from Scottsdale and Phoenix and is a convenient 9 km or 12 miles from Sky Harbor International Airport. Mesa real estate is fast becoming the Valley’s next urban hot spot in Arizona boasting an assortment of new tourism developments. The Mesa property city centre has long been revered as a winter haven offering premier accommodations, close proximity to Tonto National Forest, and 29 golf courses. If you prefer diamonds to fairways don’t’ miss the Cactus League Spring Training in March with over 200 Major League games in 35 days throughout the state; Mesa’s HoHokam Stadium is spring training home for the Chicago Cubs. Other community highlights include: Mesa’s own passenger traffic airport (Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, a convenient alternative to passengers flying in and out of Phoenix), a new 250 acre retail destination complex. Dana Park Village Square, Mesa’s 400,000 square foot shopping centre (a reflection of some of Mesa’s most affluent neighbourhoods) is adding more dining options to its already impressive collection of high end retailers and unique boutiques. Additionally, Canadian snowbirds are drawn to the natural attractions of Superstition Mountains, Apache Trail, Salt and Verde Rivers, Usery Pass and the area’s many lakes. Snowbirds from Canada flock to Mesa real estate to put down seasonal roots contributing to the 460,000 plus residents, the third largest city in Arizona following Phoenix and Tuscon. Empty nesters Les and Noram Garrison from Port Moody, BC, took early retirement back in 1991 and built a 2,500 square foot three bedroom home with the Arizona Golf Resort’s 14th hole at their backdoor. And it’s no surprise with urban amenities such as the new Mountain Vista Marketplace in East Mesa to open in summer 2009. The first phase of the 114 acre mixed use real estate Mesa project with SuperTarget as its anchor and additional retailers Marshalls, Old Navy, Show Pavilion and Dick’s Sporting Goods to name a few. The marketplace will be a pedestrian friendly design featuring easily accessible walkways throughout the Mesa real estate project.

Scottsdale Real Estate

“Canada has always been an important market for Scottsdale real estate, but increased air service (WestJet in particular) and the strong Canadian dollar has made Scottsdale real estate more desirable to Canadian travelers and investors alike,” says Laura McMurchie, vice president of communications for Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau increased our marketing efforts in Canada for the last fiscal year (July ’07 to June ’08) with additional print and online advertising; the Canadian marketing campaign resulted in more than 11,200 inquiries from Canada,” says McMurchie. Scottsdale real estate metropolitan area has all the quality amenities you would expect to find in a major city including shopping opporutunities second to none. Scottsdale Fashion Square in the Southwest’s largest shopping destination and distinctive address for premier shopping, dining and entertainment, with more than 225 retailers, 50 of which are exclusive to Arizona. For the authentic soul of the Southwest stop by Old Town and the Arts District on Main Street, and don’t miss the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Arts. Scottscale real estate is surrounded by desert and mountain preserves, and parks and is set against the extraordinary backdrop of the Sonoran Desert. Teeming with gusty colors of granite, mocha and sage, a desert by most measures is drab expansions of harsh and crusty terrain – but no so in the Sonoran. The uncultivated desert floor is surprisingly colorful with vegetation (particularly springtime) that defies desert scrub. “Scottsdale real estate is becoming more attractive to Canadians not only because of its well known attributes – warm and sunny weather, golf and spas, but the ever growing infrastructure in terms of services and activities for visitors – the culinary and cultural scene in Scottsdale real estate has dramatically expanded in the past few years – something very appealing to well traveled Canadians,” says Chris Ryall, Canadian PR rep, Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Low taxes, direct air service from many cities in Canada, excellent health facilities, low housing prices compared to Canada all make Scottsdale real estate an ideal destination to visit for holiday or invest in property.”

Phoenix Real Estate

Central Arizona’s desert is home to the Phoenix metropolitan area and its more than 3.4 million residents. Encompassing more than 5,179 square km or 2,000 square miles, Phoenix’s eclectic offerings include world-class resorts, spas, shopping and golf courses. Golf is on the leader board as one of the most popular recreation activities in Arizona state, well suited to more than 300 days of sunshine annually, equal to 300 plus courses to tee up on. You’ll savour some of the best gastronomic southwestern dishes, crafted from homegrown ingredients such as peppers, pomegranates, tomatoes, and citrus fruits. Outstanding authentic Native American and Mexian cuisine is prepared by award winning chefs. “The average age in Phoenix is only 33, so the myth that this is only a retirement city is out of the window,” says Williamson. “There is a very vibrant night life and diverse dining opportunities – it is much more international than people would guess.” In addition, the region also celebrates both the rich tradition of local Native American artistry and cultural expression, highlighting Old West history, galleries, and museums.”

Canadian Passports to Arizona
According to Passport Canada, “Starting June 1, 2009, a US law will require Canadians to present a valid passport to enter the United States by water or land; US law already requires Canadians to present a valid passport to enter the US by air.” Please note that you must have six clear months left on your passport, after your scheduled return home date, for it to be accepted for US travel at this time.
