The mobility rate, as indi- cated by Family Allowance Statistics, is just over 25 percent. If the general tend- ency continues, a few years hence Canadian familles will be moving once every three years. "Last year approximately 21,777 bouseholds were relo- cated from one city to another -inter-city moves. Althougb close to 750,000 families chan- ged their places of residence, the vast majority moved intra-provincially, or from one part of one city to another section of the same city,"1 sa id a 'spokesman- for W. Frank Real Estate Limited. "An examination of the components of what bas become known in the industry as the corporate transfer business indicates fairiy evid- ently tba-t being moved bas become almost a way of life for certain occupational groups. In fact our own experience would seem to show -that the number of bousebold relocations is even- ly split between goverment departments and, agencies and private business, with the vast majority of ail transfers of senior civil servants and executives being employed in public administration and defence, transportation, corn- munication and other utilîties, and finance, insurance and real estate.'" t is interesting to note the year to year change in the patterns of flow from city to city, in the accompanying tables. A survey of city to city or long distance moves by Coast 1to Coast Real Estate Service reveals that over balf the trips originate in Toronto, Mont- real or- Ottawa, witb .20 percent accounted for bIy Winnipeg, Calgary,, Edmon- ton, Vancouver and 10 percent by Halifax and Quebec. The balance of the long distance transfer business obviously runs between the other major urban areas of Hamilton, Regina, Saskatoon and Vict- oria. Altbougb figures are round- ed for simplicity, the accom-, panying tables provide a reasonably accurate portray- a] of the true picure of intercity employee t1ransfers in 1972 and 1973. Coast to Coast Real Estate Service is an association of over 100 leadinig Realtors in 187 offices across Canada. An important observation which sbould be made by personnel managers and oth- er relocation decision maikers- is that the employee transfer market bas undergone a transition in three distinct stages. -First, the tLask of selling a bouse in the economnic slow- down of 1969 and 1970 was a source of anxiety and distract ion to a transferred employee because of bis fear that bis bouse would bave to be sold at a serious financial loss. Contractor Brick - Block- Concrete Stone Work Carpentry - Cabinet Work Second, a different worry prevailed in .1971 and 1972 existing in the fact that a relocated employee once hav- ing disposed of his home in a "buyers" market would have to pay considerably more _- nmaybe twice as mucb - for a similar standard of accom- modation in a "sellers" mar- ket in another city. Third, today's biggest pro- blem in administering com- pany paid assistance to trans- ferred employees is to assure a complete transfer plan foi the family encompassing everytbing from moving ex- penses to assistance in real estate matters; a package guaranteeing a sale or sublet, paying off ail or part of the rent due under an unexpired lease; belping a transferred empioyee dispose of his bouse i protection against loss of selling a bouse and belp in buying a bouse. In a word - service. The disparity in bouse prices between major urban areas across Caniada is rapid- iy narrowing. Whereas a W4~ years ago there was a wide variance in bouse prices in Montreal, Toronto and Van- couver, as much as 60 percent between Montreal and Tor- onto and 25 percent between Toronto and Vancouver, in littie time tbis spread will bave declined to something less tban 10 percent from city to city. Toronto and Vancouv- er prices bave increased 20 to 25 percent in the last year. Montreal residential values have jumped 10 percent in the last year and will likely show a 20 percent hike in 1974. Tbe opportunity stili exists in Montreal for the average family to own a home. Altbough Toronto anci Van- couver bouse prices now average $38,000 to $415,000 a $25,000 home on a 6,000 square foot lot is still attainablè in the Montreal area. t is important for those responsible for the welfare of their employees to retain the most competent advice avail- able. t is essential that. real estate relocation specialists be. brought into the mving scheme at the earliest date. A national network of associat- ed real estate brokers or a chain of offices in one company, or botb, is consid- ered imperative if the trans- ferred employee is to receive the most objective advice and service from experts wbo have an intimate knowledge of their local markets. The ideal is to assist a family to transfer to a new job and a new home in a new city witb a minimum loss of time and money for employer and employee. Success in. trans- ferring employees depends upon simplifying, facilitatiig and co-ordinating the moves of very important people.
