To Our Valued Clients and Friends,<\/p>\n

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve quickly in Canada, please be assured that Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada is available to support our clients during this challenging time. We are also doing our utmost to protect the health and safety of our clients, Realtors\u00ae, staff and community.<\/p>\n

Our Commitment to Business Continuity and Service<\/strong>
\nWe have moved to remote business operations with business and service continuity for our clients in place.<\/p>\n

If you have questions about your home purchase or sale, please contact your Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada real estate advisor<\/a> or call one of our local offices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Real Estate Market Impact<\/strong>
\nMany of our clients have had questions about what COVID-19 might mean for their plans to move, as well as the real estate market.<\/p>\n

While COVID-19 is a public health threat that will likely disrupt business and real estate activity in many communities across Canada, available real estate market data show that, overall, many Canadian metropolitan real estate markets came into this challenging period with solid fundamentals. Statistics released on March 16, 2020 by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA)<\/a> show national home sales were up 5.9% on a month-over-month basis in February, while actual sales activity was up 26.9% year-over-year. The actual national average sale price was up 15.2% year-over-year in February. Transactions were up in about 60% of all local markets in February, with the most significant national increase the result of a 15% gain in activity in the Greater Toronto Area. A shortage of properties for sale in key neighbourhoods has made available listings in high in-demand.<\/p>\n

Across our national and global real estate business, Sotheby\u2019s International Realty has consistently seen that Canada\u2019s metropolitan top-tier real estate markets have been, and will continue to be, bastions of security in times of national and global crisis. Renowned as one of the world\u2019s most livable and stable countries, the stability of the country\u2019s economic, social and political foundation will anchor the long term demand for real estate. Furthermore, housing in our local communities is an essential, rather than an option. As a result, we have confidence that any potential market disruption will be resolved.<\/p>\n

Advice for Home Sellers<\/strong>
\nFor clients with properties for sale on the market, or those with goals to do so this spring, online marketing exposure will remain more important than ever as buyers increasingly seek out information online.<\/p>\n

Those of you who have listed your property can be assured that our online marketing platform remains open to local and global buyers 24\/7: from sothebysrealty.ca<\/a> and sothebysrealty.com<\/a>, your property is distributed to more than 100 interconnected Sotheby\u2019s International Realty local websites around the world in addition to dozens of premier media outlets globally<\/a>, including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and more.<\/p>\n

High resolution property photos, property videos, and\/or professional floor plans also help to bring your home to life.<\/p>\n

Advice for Home Buyers<\/strong>
\nIn times of uncertainty, property listings supply can be reduced, and you may be in a situation where you are eager to understand and view your options before other prospective buyers and investors do.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to conduct research of available properties for sale online, and with the advice of your agent.<\/p>\n

At present, we are encouraging buyer clients to arrange for viewings of homes that they are most interested in, rather than broadly frequenting open houses (if goverment regulations allow)<\/em>. Thank you for understanding that clients who are showing signs of illness or have travelled internationally may be requested by home sellers to delay their viewings until after a 14 day quarantine period.<\/p>\n

Please contact your agent for information on how you can preview properties.<\/p>\n

As this situation continues to evolve, we remain committed to supporting you and keeping you informed.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Thank you for placing your trust in Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Don Kottick

COVID-19 : Comment Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada aide ses clients<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chers clients et amis,<\/p>\n

La situation relative au coronavirus (COVID-19) continue d\u2019\u00e9voluer rapidement au Canada, mais soyez assur\u00e9s que Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada reste \u00e0 la disposition de ses clients en cette p\u00e9riode difficile. Nous faisons le maximum pour assurer la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de nos clients, nos agents, le personnel et toute la communaut\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Notre engagement pour la continuit\u00e9 des op\u00e9rations et services
\n<\/strong>Toutes nos op\u00e9rations se font d\u00e9sormais \u00e0 distance, mais nous assurons la continuit\u00e9 de nos services pour nos clients actuels.<\/p>\n

Si vous avez des questions concernant l\u2019achat ou la vente de votre propri\u00e9t\u00e9, vous pouvez contacter votre conseiller immobilier Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada<\/a> ou t\u00e9l\u00e9phoner \u00e0 l\u2019un de nos bureaux<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cons\u00e9quences pour le march\u00e9 de l\u2019immobilier
\n<\/strong>De nombreux clients nous ont demand\u00e9 quelles seraient les cons\u00e9quences de la COVID-19 sur leur d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement ou le march\u00e9 immobilier de mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 est une menace pour la sant\u00e9 publique et va s\u00fbrement affecter les op\u00e9rations immobili\u00e8res de nombreuses communaut\u00e9s au Canada. Cependant, les donn\u00e9es actuelles d\u00e9montrent que de nombreux march\u00e9s de l\u2019immobilier des m\u00e9tropoles canadiennes sont entr\u00e9s dans cette p\u00e9riode difficile avec des bases solides. Des statistiques publi\u00e9es le 16 mars 2020 par l\u2019Association canadienne de l\u2019immeuble (ACI)<\/a> r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que les ventes nationales de propri\u00e9t\u00e9s ont augment\u00e9 de 5,9 % d\u2019un mois sur l\u2019autre en f\u00e9vrier, alors que les ventes r\u00e9elles ont augment\u00e9 de 26,9 % d\u2019une ann\u00e9e sur l\u2019autre. Le prix de vente moyen au niveau national a augment\u00e9 de 15,2 % en f\u00e9vrier par rapport \u00e0 l\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re. Les transactions \u00e9taient \u00e0 la hausse pour environ 60 % des march\u00e9s locaux en f\u00e9vrier, et c\u2019est le Grand Toronto qui a connu la plus importante croissance du pays, avec une hausse de 15 % de l\u2019activit\u00e9. En raison de la p\u00e9nurie de propri\u00e9t\u00e9s en vente dans certains quartiers pris\u00e9s, les annonces disponibles sont tr\u00e8s demand\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Sotheby\u2019s International Realty ne cesse de constater, \u00e0 travers ses activit\u00e9s immobili\u00e8res au niveau national et international, que les march\u00e9s de l\u2019immobilier de premier rang des m\u00e9tropoles canadiennes sont et resteront des bastions de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en cas de crise nationale ou internationale. Le Canada est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme l\u2019un des pays les plus stables et agr\u00e9ables \u00e0 vivre, et la stabilit\u00e9 des fondements \u00e9conomiques, sociaux et politiques du pays assureront une demande \u00e0 long terme pour l\u2019immobilier. \u00c9galement, dans nos communaut\u00e9s locales, se loger n\u2019est pas une simple option, mais est essentiel. Nous sommes donc convaincus que toute \u00e9ventuelle perturbation du march\u00e9 se r\u00e9soudra.<\/p>\n

Conseils \u00e0 l\u2019intention des vendeurs
\n<\/strong>Pour les clients ayant actuellement des propri\u00e9t\u00e9s en vente ou ceux qui pr\u00e9voient d\u2019en avoir au printemps, le marketing en ligne sera plus important que jamais : les acheteurs consulteront davantage les ressources en ligne.<\/p>\n

Pour nos clients qui ont inscrit leur propri\u00e9t\u00e9 sur notre plateforme marketing en ligne, soyez assur\u00e9s que celle-ci reste accessible \u00e0 tout moment pour les acheteurs : depuis sothebysrealty.ca<\/a> et sothebysrealty.com<\/a>, votre propri\u00e9t\u00e9 est distribu\u00e9e \u00e0 plus de 100 sites web locaux Sotheby\u2019s International Realty interconnect\u00e9s partout dans le monde ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 des dizaines de m\u00e9dias de premier ordre dans le monde<\/a>, dont le New York Times, le Wall Street Journal, le Financial Times, etc. <\/p>\n

Les photos haute d\u00e9finition, les vid\u00e9os et les plans de votre propri\u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7us par un professionnel permettent \u00e9galement d\u2019apporter de la vie \u00e0 votre r\u00e9sidence.<\/p>\n

Conseils \u00e0 l\u2019intention des acheteurs
\n<\/strong>En ces temps incertains, l\u2019offre de propri\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e0 vendre peut \u00eatre r\u00e9duite. Vous d\u00e9sirez s\u00fbrement comprendre et analyser vos options avant les autres acheteurs ou investisseurs.<\/p>\n

Nous vous encourageons \u00e0 effectuer une recherche des propri\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e0 vendre en ligne et \u00e0 suivre les conseils de votre agent.<\/p>\n

Actuellement, nous encourageons les acheteurs \u00e0 organiser des visites uniquement pour les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s qui les int\u00e9ressent vraiment, plut\u00f4t que de se rendre \u00e0 de nombreuses visites libres (si les r\u00e9glementations gouvernementales le permettent)<\/em>. Veuillez noter que les vendeurs peuvent demander aux clients qui pr\u00e9sentent des sympt\u00f4mes ou ont voyag\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019international de reporter leur visite apr\u00e8s avoir observ\u00e9 une p\u00e9riode de quarantaine de 14 jours. Merci pour votre compr\u00e9hension.<\/p>\n

Vous pouvez contacter votre agent pour savoir comment pr\u00e9visualiser les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

La situation \u00e9voluant, nous nous tenons \u00e0 votre disposition et vous tiendrons inform\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Merci de votre confiance en Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada.<\/p>\n

Cordialement,<\/p>\n
