2015 GLOBAL INVESTMENT SENTIMENT REPORT COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL
With continued improvements across the Canadian economic landscape, the property investment market continues to benefit from sustained confidence and the availability of capital on a national basis. Solid national demographics, upward trending gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts and rising employment levels continue to draw both domestic and international capital towards Canada’s real estate markets.
Bolstered by strong underlying fundamentals and favourable financing terms, as banks regain confidence in the sector, the stability of property, particularly office, retail, multi-family and industrial assets positioned within close proximity to Canada’s major cities, has led to an abundance of debt and equity targeting the market.
As the US recovery solidifies, the country continues to benefit from strong exports, which are estimated at CAN$307 billion year-to-date. An annualised GDP growth forecast of 3.1% (September 2014) and a real GDP growth estimate of 2.3% for 2014 continue to support positive investor sentiment for the stability, income and return characteristics that the property markets offer. With unemployment levels at 7% projected to continue a gradual decrease to 5.7% by 2018, investors remain bullish on both market performance and property investment volumes overall.
