Anaemic housing supply predicted in Canada The sudden turnaround in sales activity during the latter part of the year will likely cause a supply shortage in Canada next year, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). National sales trends improved at a faster-than-expected pace over the second half of 2019 as new listings continued to deplete.... "These trends have caused many housing markets to tighten, which has sharply lowered the national number of months of inventory," CREA said. The balance between supply and demand hit its lowest since mid-2007 in November, resulting in increased competition among buyers. This provided a "fertile ground" for price gains, according to CREA. The combined number of months of inventory in Canada, excluding the Prairies, and Newfoundland and Labrador, currently sits at a 15-year low and continues to fall. "The number of homes available for sale in these provinces, which represent over 80% of national activity, is at a 15-year low. This is anticipated to support solid home price growth in 2020, particularly if current trends intensify," CREA said. Given the limited supply, the national average sales price is expected to rise by 6.2% next year, led by projected gains in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes. On the other hand, prices in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador are expected to decline slightly. "In regions with supply shortages, price gains may exceed forecast levels should shortages become more acute than anticipated," CREA said.

Tip of the Day to Increase your Home Value Make sure existing landscape is well-maintained. If your yard seems dull in comparison with your neighbors, consider planting flowers or repainting the front door. Once the exterior looks good, focus on the kitchen and bathroom. When these two rooms are outdated, they can keep a property from reaching its highest valuation. And you don’t have to spring for heated towel racks or marble floors, either. A minor kitchen remodel recou...ps 81% of its cost in added value on average, versus 53% for an upscale kitchen remodel with stone countertops, custom cabinets and commercial-grade appliances, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2018 Cost vs. Value Report. The same is true for bathrooms; a mid-range remodel new flooring and a few updated fixtures delivers a 70% return on investment, while an upscale bathroom remodel heated flooring, custom cabinets and designer fixtures sees 56% on average.

On a former campsite is the plan area ' The Nieuwkoopse Eilanden ' realized. The new building plots are spread over a number of headlands between the Nieuwkoopse lake and Zuideinder lake. The seemingly simple house is characterized by a sturdy use of brickwork with a recessed joint and has two special roof overhangs in the volume. The overhang at the front increases visibility from the road and at the rear facade a veranda with a view over the water arises.... At the ground floor the kitchen flows into the living room. The kitchen is located on the street side for contact with the neighborhood and the terrace can be used for the morning coffee. The living room is out of sight, which makes it cozy and private. A skylight has been made in the roof above the stairs, which means that in the normally darkest part of the house there is now plenty of daylight. The bedrooms are on the first floor. These are all oriented to the view and the light all around. The bathroom is also located on the facade which provides the room a lot of daylight. The roof is equipped with solar cells and solar collectors integrated into the flat roof tiles. The house is heated and cooled by a heat pump.

This family house with a pool, located on a gentle slope, is designed as a juxtaposition of two elements a primary longitudinal wing with white finish, and a perpendicular element covered in dark wood coating. A T-shaped floor plan enables maximum south and west orientation, as well as views from both levels. A two story-high entry divides the house into two segments connected with a wooden bridge: the east segment is a secondary space with a garage on the ground floor and children’s area on the first floor; the west segment contains the main living spaces and parents’ quarters on the upper floor. The pool, separately located above the living room, is visible from the rest of the house.
