CMHC Spring 2004 Outlook

Today, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) released its Spring 2024 Housing Market Outlook, providing insight on affordability, supply, and other key issues in Canada’s census metropolitan areas (Regina and Saskatoon being the only qualifying Saskatchewan markets).

Regina Highlights 

Strong population growth and robust labour market conditions set up Regina for housing growth. We expect sales activity and price growth to pick up over the forecast horizon.
Relative affordability in Regina is increasing competition for housing, diminishing already tight inventories.
New housing construction is increasingly dominated by rental construction, and we expect to see a shift toward more multi-unit developments.
Tight rental market conditions will persist as supply is not likely to keep up with rising demand pressures in the near-term. We expect vacancy rates to decline further and average rent growth to remain high, above its historical average.

The Crucial Role of Financing Pre-Approval: Why Realtors® Need to Know About Buyer Financing

Is it normal for your Regina Realtor® to ask a potential buyer the question, “have you been pre-approved for financing?” 

The simple answer is yes! And if they aren’t they should be.  

In the world of Regina real estate, the question of whether a potential buyer has been pre-approved for financing is more than just a routine inquiry – it's a pivotal step that can make or break a successful transaction. Here's why Realtors® prioritize this information:

1.  Serious Intentions
Knowing that a Regina home buyer has undergone the pre-approval process signals their serious intent to purchase a property. It demonstrates a level of commitment that assures Realtors® the buyer is not merely window shopping or kicking tires but is actively ready to make a substantial investment, possibly the biggest investment of their life.

2. Time Efficiency 
Regina Realtors® aim to optimize their time by focusing on buyers who are financially prepared.  They have lives outside of work, families, friends, other commitments. Understanding a buyer's pre-approved status streamlines the home-search process, allowing real estate agents to tailor their recommendations to properties that align with the buyer's budget and preferences.

3. Negotiation Strength
Armed with a pre-approval, Regina home buyers gain a significant advantage in negotiations. Realtors® can confidently present offers to sellers, assuring them that the buyer has the financial backing to follow through. This can be a game-changer in competitive real estate markets where the Realtor® can often use the pre-approval to their buyers advantage when writing the offer. 

4. Avoiding Disappointment
Nothing is more disheartening for both Realtors® and buyers than discovering that a dream property is out of reach due to financial constraints. By understanding a buyer's pre-approval status upfront, your Regina Realtor® can prevent disappointment and focus on properties that align with the buyer's financial capacity.

5. Smooth Transaction Process
Financing is a complex aspect of any Regina real estate transaction, and the pre-approval streamlines the process. Regina Realtors® can anticipate and address potential hurdles early on, ensuring a smoother journey from offer to closing. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of unexpected complications.

6. Seller Confidence
Sellers often feel more secure when dealing with pre-approved buyers. This confidence stems from the knowledge that the buyer has undergone a thorough financial evaluation, making the transaction less likely to encounter obstacles related to funding.  The seller is also vacating their home for viewings and doing so under the assumption that the potential buyers have the realistic capacity to purchase the home. 

7. Market Insights
Understanding the financing landscape through pre-approval data allows your Regina Realtor® to stay informed about market trends. This knowledge helps them guide buyers effectively, providing valuable insights into loan options and interest rates.

In essence, the question of pre-approval paramount in the real estate process. It empowers both Realtors® and buyers, fostering transparency, efficiency, and confidence in what can be a complex and emotionally charged journey to homeownership.  Financial pre-approval really is the first step in the home buying process.
