众所周知,GTA地区房价近年来疯涨,但多伦多地产局(TREB)的数据大多是与一年前房价比较,谈论的是年涨幅。加拿大一家知名房地产公司Century 21 Canada则别出心裁,对全国各城市20年来房价涨幅进行统计。结果发现,多伦多西面城市奥克维尔(Oakville)从1997年到2017年的房价翻了5倍,其涨幅为全国之最!
Century 21 Canada在统计中没有使用传统的平均价,房价中位数等指标,而是采用每平方英尺来计算。以奥克维尔为例,该市20年前每平方英尺的房价为$105.77,而今年则涨至$627.33,因此20年的增长率高达493%,为全国之冠,可见其涨幅惊人。
紧随奥克维尔之后的是蒙特利尔市中心,20年房价增长率为468%;温哥华西边(West side)则排在第三位,增长率400%。
Century 21的报告称,从全国来看,20年间GTA地区和大温地区一直是房市热点,两大市场的房价增长显著,各主要城市的房价20年的增长率均超过200%。其中GTA的万锦市为353%,宾顿市321%,新市(Newmarket)236%,密市309%。其它华人聚居区诸如烈治文山,旺市等地房价年均增长率也都超过15%。
尽管20年来奥克维尔的房价涨幅领先其它各大中城市独占鳌头,但若论时下每平方英尺价格,奥克维尔以$627.33仅列第五位,尺价最高也即房价最高之地仍然在温哥华,也就是温哥华西边(West Side)的$1,210;温哥华市中心$962;多伦多市中心$818.86;西温哥华(West Vancouver)$816(译者注:West Side指温哥华市Main Street以西地区;而West Vancouver则是一个市,就像North Vancouver也是一个市一样)。
此外,GTA地区列治文山独立屋尺价为$583;旺市$510;万锦$499;奥罗拉(Aurora)则为$488。
若论城市公寓单元的尺价,则是温哥华市中心最高,多伦多市中心其次。
