Christie’s International Real Estate 2013 Toronto Luxury Property Report

Christie’s International Real Estate’s report on the luxury real estate market reveals interesting insights into Toronto’s high-end housing market and its high-net-worth residents.

THE FINDINGS

The Toronto Luxury Real Estate Market
In Toronto, the luxury housing market is hyper-local as ultra high-net-worth buyers seek to purchase properties with exceptionally high standards of finishes in micro-locations defined by a particular block of a high-end prime neighbourhood for a home or by a specific luxury building with five star hotel amenities for a penthouse or a condominium apartment suite.

Buyers of luxury real estate in Toronto are predominantly local rather than foreign and these high-net-worth buyers are purchasing property to live in as their primary residence rather than as an additional residence for investment purposes.

The Global Luxury Real Estate Market
Overall findings from analyzing ten cities’ real estate markets reveals that the global luxury real estate market performs in its own universe, far removed the general residential real estate market.

International luxury real estate inventory is low with properties having fewer days on market in 2012.

There is high demand from international buyers and more buyers are paying cash rather than finance their luxury property purchases.

Rather than follow the general housing market, luxury real estate aligns with trends in demand for luxury goods such as high-value art, jewelry and fine wines and this demand is poised for growth in 2013.

THE RESEARCH

Toronto was identified by Christie’s International Real Estate as one of the ten globally important markets for luxury residential real estate along with:

Cote d’Azur
Dallas
Hong Kong
London
Los Angeles
Miami
New York
Paris
San Francisco

These markets were selected based on factors that influence high-net worth individuals as luxury home buyers and sellers including city gross domestic product, number of billionaire residents, global cities ranking, most expensive cities ranking, and number of Fortune 500 companies headquartered in a city.

In its research, Christie’s defined luxury real estate as residential properties priced above $1 million US dollars. That totals just under 33,000 properties for the ten cities indexed.

Local versus International Buyers Of Luxury Real Estate
In studying the sales of Toronto luxury homes (properties that sold over $1 million) from October 2011 to September 2012, it was found that 80% of buyers were local (residents within the city). The other 20% of buyers were non-local and this included international buyers.

Luxury Home Sales Number Of Days On Market Comparison By City
Analyzing luxury home inventory, out of all the ten locations, Toronto had the least days on market (DOM) at 46 days on the market in 2012 which was down from the previous year’s 50 days on market. In 2013, days on market for luxury properties is expected to lengthen in Toronto as the result of the government putting more limits on mortgage lending designed to slow the housing market.

Luxury Residences Average Sale Price Per Square Foot Comparison By City
London was the most expensive city with an average sale price per square foot of $4,849. Luxury residences in Toronto have an average sale price of $900 per square foot. (Average sale prices per square foot include single family homes, condominiums and co-ops.)

Financing & Mortgages Of Luxury Properties By City
While cash is in king in LA as 100% of luxury home buyers in that city paid cash rather than finance, in Toronto 50% of luxury homes purchased were mortgaged.

Buying A Luxury Property As A Primary Residence Versus As An Additional Residence 80% of luxury properties purchased in Toronto were bought to live-in as the primary residence while in London only 30% of properties purchased were deemed as the primary residence.

The Florian 88 Davenport Road

Located where Davenport Road and Bay Street meet, the Florian’s crescent form reflects the unusual shape of the land it is built on. Davenport Road follows the path of an ancient native trail resulting in it being Toronto’s only street that is off the regular grid pattern of the city, creating this curved site at the top of Bay Street just north of the new Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences.

The Florian consists of a 25 storey Tower and 4 storey Podium built with deep purple museum quality iron spotted brick. All suites have balconies, fireplaces and floor to ceiling windows. Tower Residences have ten foot ceilings from levels 5 to 25 and Podium Residences have nine foot ceilings.

Residents have the opportunity to purchase participation in the Florian Wine Cellar program which allows residents to safely store their vintages in the temperature controlled wine cellar and features a luxuriously appointed tasting room to host private wine events. Suites range in size from one bedrooms of 743 square feet to penthouses of over 4000 square feet.

From Yellow Bricks To Canada’s Most Expensive Condos: A Brief History Of Yorkville

The easiest way to understand the beginnings of Yorkville is to look at its Coat of Arms that is displayed on the exterior of the Yorkville Fire Hall. In 1853 Yorkville became an incorporated village and it was the first five councillors elected who created this official crest.The symbols of the crest not only represented each of these five councillors’ occupations but also revealed Yorkville’s most important commercial industries at that time, brewing beer and brick making.

A beer keg with the letter S represented John Severn owner of one of the several breweries that had located in the area.Local brick maker Atkinson was represented by a brick maker’s mould with the letter A. The Yorkville Brick Yards, was a clay field (now Ramsden Park) that was mined and produced a distinctive yellow brick which can still be seen today on the exterior of many Victorian buildings in the area including the Yorkville Fire Hall.

A steer’s head represented the local butcher, an anvil for the blacksmith and a carpenter’s plane with the letter D for local builder James Dobson.

77 Yorkville Ave at the south west corner of Bellair is believed to be one of the oldest buildings in Yorkville which is presently occupied by the designer label Pink Tartan as their flagship store

In 1883 Yorkville became part of the City of Toronto and was no longer an independent village and by the 1950′s sophisticated shops had moved in on Bloor Street.

The neighbourhood was zoned for commercial use in 1956 bringing art galleries and antique shops as well as architects, interior designers, and photographers to the neighbourhood where the houses were cheap and could be easily converted to commercial uses.

In the early 1960′s Yorkville was a place of high end shopping by day and a beatnik and bohemian hot spot at night. The coffee houses and jazz clubs were a breeding ground for many of Canada’s folk music talents including Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and Neil Young. By the mid 60′s the beatniks became hippies and Yorkville became a mecca for followers of the counterculture.

The 1970′s and 80′s brought more high end retailers and luxury designer brands to Bloor Street including Holt Renfrew and Harry Rosen coining the section of Bloor between Yonge and Avenue Road “Canada’s Mink Mile”. More office towers also came to the busier intersections and Yorkville’s first condominium buildings started popping up along Bay Street.

The “Manhattanization” of Yorkville continues today as much of the low-rise commercial real estate is transformed into new high rise residential condominium buildings. Many new luxury condos have recently been built including the new Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences.

Yorkville now holds the distinction of having the most expensive condos in Canada with more condo developments planned for Yorkville’s future.
