-- 加拿大國家銀行表示,連續四個月下滑後,加拿大房屋銷售在2月至3月期間保持穩定,季減0.1%。 從地區層級來看,六個省份的房屋銷售量出現月度下滑:愛德華王子島(-16.6%)、新不倫瑞克省(-9.2%)、阿爾伯塔省(-5.2%)、新斯科細亞省(-3.5%)、曼尼托巴省(-0.5%)和不列顛哥倫比亞省(-0.4%)。魁北克省(+0.4%)、安大略省(+1.8%)、薩斯喀徹溫省(+9.6%)和紐芬蘭省(+10.0%)的房屋銷售量則有所增加。 該銀行指出,由於3月房屋銷售量與上月持平,加拿大房地產市場的活躍度仍特別低迷,交易量比10年平均下降了17.3%。 加拿大國家銀行指出,人口下降、年初以來勞動市場表現疲軟以及經濟和地緣政治的不確定性等諸多因素持續對房地產市場構成壓力。中東衝突甚至對加拿大房地產市場產生了溢出效應,由於市場預期通膨上升,債券殖利率也隨之走高,導致3月抵押貸款利率上漲。 展望未來,如果圍繞美墨加協定(USMCA)續簽的貿易不確定性得到解決,今年稍後市場活動可能會有所回升。該銀行指出,同時,春季旺季期間的交易量可能仍將保持低迷,因此加拿大國家銀行預測,2026年的交易量將比上年下降5%。 該銀行補充道,經季節性調整和年化後,3月新屋開工量從2月份的25.1萬套減少至23.59萬套,減少了1.51萬套,遠低於市場普遍預期的25.8萬套。此次下降主要由城市地區房屋開工量的減少所致(減少14,600套至224,000套),農村地區房屋開工量也略有下降(減少500套至11,800套)。 展望未來,根據國家銀行的預測,2026年房屋開工量可能仍高於歷史平均水平,因為一些在人口強勁增長背景下規劃的項目將開始建設。 然而,由於目前的人口結構遠不如以往有利,導致租賃市場空置率和未售庫存急劇上升,預計今年新房開工量將放緩,並在2027年及以後持續疲軟。 此外,高昂的建築成本和固定利率的下降幅度遠小於短期利率(短期利率近期甚至因中東衝突而上升),也是住宅建設面臨的另一個限制因素。
