HALTON HILLS AREA PARADE OF HOMES FT HERALD Wednesday September a Page JON ZORGE REAL ESTATE Inc Realtor 8770155 4572624 MACK Cajurflatt Real Estate AlMdHllMI If you have never asked yourself what housing doea for the economy of this nation now would be a good time For even though Canada la experiencing a period of high unemployment It could be considerably worse without a healthy housing In da try In the first six months of this year there were HI bousing units completed a per cent increase over the same period last year Assuming a 40hour and a 50week year this represents one job for every house completed as there are approximately hours involved In the construction of the average house Have you ever witnessed the efforts of an Individual who deckled to build his own house Even with contracting out some of the more difficult aspects of the project It appears to take months and months for that one bouse to be ready for occupancy This is not so when ex builders using the latest building techniques erect a house Scores of new units seem to appear almost over night on a building site with each worker specializing In some aspect of the construction When he finished one house he moves on the next and the next in a continuous factory type operation except that the factory Instead of being en closed Is of necessity the great outdoors But the great part or the manpower required to change a former farm or forest Into Canada s newest suburb arc not on the construction site at all The carpenters bricklayers painters and other tradesmen vlslbleonthesite who changes pile of seemingly unrelated materials into an attractive home represent less than half of the man hours necessary to create that home They rely on even more diversified army which extracts the required raw materials converts them into building products and transports them to where they are needed In order that a group of homes can be built various levels of govern ment bureaucracy ore involved as arc financial institutions researchers surveyors sub contractors and other all the way down the line to clerks Further employment is created when arc completed and their new owners move in They generate cm for and distributors drapes stoves refriki rotors washers mid a host other prod ik Is Even rental housing is a large contributor to em employment that l stop but only the doors open to welcome tenants Then property manager super in and maintenance workers are some of the em required All of these are new Jobs which t exist before the building was created To keep Canada home building industry healthy and have that industry contribute Its full share of employment op portunities it is necessary to allow the free play of market Therefore the accepted route has been to purchase an existing starter home perhaps an apartment condominium a small semi detached or raw house and begin to build equity Later equity becomes sufficient to move lo a larger more expensive home in a belter neighborhood ven the equity is sufficient tht to carry with payments on a new through the equity I II up in Hie intervening I In worth remem taring is that nine the first us ng unit is purchased the mil is housing prices in that hedge is permanent and protects the Individual against future price increase of all housing regardless or the number of moves made Compare this with an in vestment In a new car which depreciates at approximately per cent annually The values of home on the other hand historically have gone In the opposite direction up At present there is not only enough housing to go around in meeting demand but a surplus or bo In new and used housing At the end of June this year or inslante there were m newly completed houses and duplexes unoccupied in he country a metropolitan areas over per more than at the same time toil year The number of existing properties listed for sale through the Multiple Us ling Service MLSI operated by local real state boards up to the end June was more than 31 per higher than In the January June period in 1976 When demand exceeds supply there Is always upward pressure on prices of any product or commodity and sometimes a runaway price escalation process sets in this is not the case at present a wide choice of properties for prospective purchasers of both new and existing homes from which lo choose prices are relatively static and realistic lly Liking of what was in essence buyers market properties were purchased through MLS during the period an Increase of per cent compared with the same period a year earlier Some of the existing houses purchased were from empty whose children bad grownup who found themselves over housed and who moved into a new apartment Manv many others were purchased from growing families wno were last able lo realize their dream of owning a new and lamer house thus treeing their present home for a family following the some pattern of moving up the ladder while at same lime enjoy ng a hedge against inflation In either case the free play of market forces enabled both purchaser and seller to attain their Immediate goals Perhaps they realize it but their actions created employment and provided Jobs for persons who otherwise might not be working and who would have been on the welfare or unemployment insurance rolls HOME OF THE WEEK ARE YOU READY This home is ready for you Custom
