3. TOP TIER TRENDS - INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
C ombining the world’s most prestigious real estate brand with
local market knowledge and specialized marketing expertise,
Sotheby’s International Realty Canada is the leading real estate sales
and marketing company for the country’s most exceptional properties,
with offices in over 20 residential and resort markets nationwide.
Sotheby’s International Realty Canada conducts a series of annual reports
and surveys to capture relevant market data and distinguishing market
trends within some of the country’s most sought-after communities.
The 2013 Top Tier Trends Report is based on a survey of the top one percent
of agents within over a dozen key markets in the Sotheby’s International
Realty Canada network. It is the first Canadian survey to explore regional
differences in top-tier real estate trends. The survey establishes a baseline
entry price for luxury single family homes within key cities, communities and
recreational markets, and summarizes market nuances, buyer demographics,
property characteristics and other critical buying trends. The survey further
offers regional market insight and first of its kind intelligence in answering
the question - what defines a luxury single family home in Canada?

4. TOP TIER TRENDS - NATIONAL SUMMARY
NATIONAL
SUMMARY
I n a survey spanning over a dozen markets across Canada, Sotheby’s
International Realty Canada collected and analyzed local market
data to offer a picture of baseline luxury single family home ownership.
Survey findings revealed that the entry price for a luxury single family
home in Canada’s major urban centre starts at $2 million in Toronto
and Calgary, $2.8 million in Vancouver and $3.5 million in Montréal.
Minimum square footage for single family homes in the top-tier range
from 3,500 square feet in Vancouver, Calgary and Urban Toronto, to
5,000 square feet in Montréal and 8,000 square feet in Toronto North.
In the key communities of Victoria, Salt Spring Island, Oakville and
Niagara-on-the-Lake, all with populations below 365,000, the entry price
for a luxury single family home ranges from $1 to $2 million, for homes
ranging from 2,500 to 3,800 square feet.
According to survey results, the entry level price for luxury single family
homes in the ski/recreational regions of Whistler, Sun Peaks and Mont-
Tremblant ranges from $1 to $2 million, with Whistler’s approximate
starting price of $2 million being the highest. The minimum square
footage of these properties range from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet.
Underscoring the importance of the age-old saying “location, location,
location,” the unequivocal and top ranked feature of a luxury property
in every key market surveyed was deemed as being location. Easy access
to an urban centre, top ranked school districts, proximity to community
amenities are considered essential to the locations of top-tier primary
residences. Views of water, mountains or city are also a high priority.
The profile of buyers for luxury single family homes varies from market to
market, however, top ranked professions across the regions surveyed include
those in the finance, investment banking, medical and legal fields; large
business owners and entrepreneurs are also well-represented. Survey results
also revealed that buyers of top-tier homes are more likely to pay in cash
and to utilize mortgages as part of an overall investment strategy. They are
also more likely to own multiple properties across Canada and abroad.
The survey also revealed that while international buyers play a more prominent
influence in urban markets such as Vancouver, Montréal and Toronto, it
is largely Canadian buyers who are driving the purchase of top-tier family
homes in the majority of markets surveyed. The strongest foreign influences
include China, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

5. URBAN MARKETS - VANCOUVER
VANCOUVER
WEST VANCOUVER & NORTH VANCOUVER
V ancouver reported some of the widest regional price variations
when it comes to entry pricing for high-end homes. According to
survey results, the average starting price of a single-family home in the
high-end begins at $2.8 million. However results also showed that pricing
can range from $2 million to $4 million depending on location.
The survey highlighted the Vancouver West Side as having the highest entry
price for top-tier single family homes, with desirable homes starting at
$4 million. In this region the most sought-after neighbourhoods include
Shaughnessey, Point Grey, Kitsilano, Dunbar, Southlands and Kerrisdale.
North Vancouver also ranked high in the survey. Top reasons for
its appeal to affluent buyers include neighbourhood amenities,
established communities and desirable school districts. As such, North
Vancouver luxury home prices reflect an entry price of $2 million.
In West Vancouver, entry price luxury homes can be found for
$2.5 million. Within this community, neighborhoods including
Caulfield, West Bay, Dundarave, Altamont, Ambleside and the
British Properties are cited as the most desirable areas.
Across all areas of Vancouver, the most sought-after architectural styles
remain consistent. Top preferences include Craftsman and West Coast
Contemporary homes. Character/Tudor and updated Heritage homes also
rank high in buyer popularity. Sotheby’s International Realty Canada’s
agents reported that buyers in these high-end markets look for homes
with a minimum of 3,500 square feet boasting premium features such as
open living and kitchen spaces, high-end finishings, master bedroom with
ensuites and additional amenities, such as wine cellars and theatre rooms.

6. URBAN MARKETS - VANCOUVER
BUYER PROFILE
Survey findings revealed that typical buyers in the Vancouver luxury market are
between 40 to 50 years old, with two to three children on average. The majority
(approximately 80 percent) fall within the $200,000 to $500,000 income range
with approximately 20 percent earning over $1 million. Finance and investment
banking, resources and medical professions are among the top sectors that
buyers in this segment belong to. The survey also showed that the majority of
top-tier homeowners in Vancouver hold mortgages and own multiple properties,
which is consistent with other urban markets such as Toronto and Calgary.
FOREIGN INFLUENCES
According to survey results, Vancouver’s market continues to be
influenced by foreign buyers, who make up approximately 40 percent
of the market for luxury single family homes. As seen in previous years,
China remains the top market influencer as buyers often purchase
homes in Vancouver as secondary or investment properties. There has
also been a recent surge in buyers from Iran and the United States.
OTHER TRENDS
Predictions for Vancouver’s overall market in 2013 are positive, as
experts forecast a 5.6 percent increase in real estate sales this year.

8. URBAN MARKETS - CALGARY
CALGARY
C algary is one of Canada’s most robust markets for luxury homes. The
baseline entry point for a luxury single family home is $2 million, which
is in line with that of Toronto. However, the features and amenities in Calgary
reflect a distinctive western Canadian lifestyle. According to agents surveyed,
top-tier single family homes start at $2 million with a minimum of 3,500 square
feet and are typically in the Traditional, Craftsman/Arts and Crafts, Westcoast
Modern or Character architectural styles. “Must-have” features include access
to schools and shopping, views of downtown, park, river or mountains, and
the most desirable neighbourhoods are Mt. Royal, Brittania, Bel-Aire, Aspen,
Springbank Hill, Elbow Park/Elbow Valley, and Inner City Southwest/Westside.
BUYER PROFILE
As Calgary’s market for top-tier homes continues to outpace most of
Canada, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada survey findings reveal that
demand is predominantly driven by younger buyers, largely in the 35 to
40 year old range who have a skew in preference towards inner city and
beltline living. According to experts surveyed, over 80 percent of these
homebuyers earn an income of $500,000 or higher. They are predominantly
employed within the finance and investment banking (mining, oil and gas)
or medical sectors, or are entrepreneurs. Most buyers own multiple homes
and mortgages are commonly used within this segment of the market.

9. URBAN MARKETS - CALGARY
FOREIGN INFLUENCES
The Calgary market also has the lowest overall percentage of foreign investment
of the urban markets surveyed: the majority of purchases of top-tier single
family homes are made by Canadians (85 percent according to survey results).
OTHER TRENDS
Despite a decline in inventory, the demand for top-tier single family
homes is expected to continue due to strong employment rates,
encouraging the migration of a cross section of residents to inner
city homes. This, coupled with low mortgage rates, will continue to
sustain the demand for luxury single family homes in 2013.

11. URBAN MARKETS - TORONTO
TORONTO
I n order to accurately depict the luxury market in Toronto, it is necessary
to distinguish between two unique upscale submarkets within the city’s
parameters: “Toronto North” and “Urban Toronto”. With both of these areas
carrying a market entry price of $2 million according to survey results, what
distinguishes them from each other is their location and buyer demographic.
The Urban Toronto market is centered in the city and appeals to those who
find comparatively smaller homes starting at 3,500 square feet desirable, along
with close proximity to the business district and entertainment/community
amenities such as restaurants, exercise studios and private schools. Popular
neighbourhoods meeting these demands include Yorkville, The Annex, Rosedale,
Summerhill and Forest Hill. On the other hand, larger single family homes
upwards of 8,000 square feet are considered ideal by buyers of top-tier real estate
in Toronto North. Lawrence Park, Bridle Path, Hogg’s Hollow and Bayview/
York Mills are among the most desirable neighbourhoods for these homes.
Across the board, buyers are seeking quality finishings, top-notch design, and
in-house amenities, including pools and theatre rooms. Proximity to premier
schools, be they French schools in Toronto North or excellent public or private
schools in Urban Toronto, is also a factor. Contemporary, Modernist, Grand
Victoria and Classic Georgian are the most popular architectural styles.
BUYER PROFILE
Results from Sotheby’s International Realty Canada’s survey reveal that buyers
in Urban Toronto are often couples and families with one to two children or
same sex couples, whereas those in Toronto North are typically larger families
with two to three children on average. Homebuyers in this segment earn over
$100,000 annually, and finance and investment banking, manufacturing, large
business ownership and the medical and legal professions are the fields most
prominently represented. Similar to the Vancouver and Calgary markets,
the majority of buyers have a mortgage on their $2 million plus home,
with many utilizing mortgages as part of an overall investment strategy.

12. URBAN MARKETS - TORONTO
FOREIGN INFLUENCES
According to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada’s survey results, 25 percent
of homebuyers in this category of homes are foreign buyers. Top international
influences include the United States, China, Russia, the Middle East and India.
OTHER TRENDS
Experts predict that the Toronto real estate market will gain momentum
leading into spring, with an upward trend in selling price forecast for 2013.

MONTRÉAL
W ith strong international influences and a resurgence of seasoned
buyers, Montréal’s luxury housing market continues to stand out
from the conventional. Sotheby’s International Realty Canada’s latest agent
study reports that top-tier single family homes in the city start at $3.5
million and are most commonly located in Westmount, Ville-Marie, Mont
Royal and Outremont. Befitting these established neighborhoods, top
architectural preferences include Georgian, Stone, Château and Modern
style homes. Top-tier homes in Montréal boast some of the highest square
footages amongst the markets surveyed, with homes starting at approximately
5,000 square feet. “Must-have” features include a large master bedroom,
spa like ensuite, walk-in closet, gourmet kitchen and multi-car garage.
BUYER PROFILE
Sotheby’s International Realty Canada survey findings show that buyers
of luxury single family homes in this market generally range from 40 to
50 years old. Among these homebuyers, over 80 percent typically earn an
income of $500,000 or higher. They are pre-dominantly employed in the
finance, technology and science or legal sectors, or are entrepreneurs. As a
differentiator from other markets surveyed, only a small percentage (less than
25 percent) of Montréal’s top-tier buyers are known to carry a mortgage.

15. URBAN MARKETS - MONTRÉAL
FOREIGN INFLUENCES
According to experts surveyed, high-end single family homes in Montréal also
saw a significant proportion of investment from outside of Canada. China, Syria,
Mexico, Russia and the United States rank as the five influential economies
driving the near 50 percent split between domestic and international buyers.
OTHER TRENDS
In 2013, homes in the city’s high-end are expected to follow the
steady growth trajectory of 2012, where sales grew four percent year
over year and spent an average of 127 days in the market.
