爱城房价会简单重复卡城去年的故事吗？（周末灌水帖）

Crassula

With the oil price rising like that, No way the house price will drop.
Tons of young men move into Alberta every year(Still ongoing). They need place to live.
Like newspaper said, most of them are young and married or will be married in couple years,
Who will live in apartment forever especially the rent is as much as the interest of the loan.
* S- x+ f( f7 \  ]& g, WIf you have the downpayment, get one in this summer. Or you will miss a chance again like lot of people did last year.
It is so painful for those who claim the house price will drop dramatically last year.

如果以史为鉴， 房价年增长为8% to 10%, 也就是说，十年房价一般增值215% to 256%. 从2000年到现在已涨了250%，以后几年房价或许已成强弩之末。 油价也不会一直长。79-81 年间，油价也曾增到>$60/桶。95-98年间降至~$20/桶。 再过几年油价降至~$20/桶也不为奇。

The investors(most of them are Americans) will benefit the most. Even though the oil price has been tripled, our wages only goes up by 5% a year. How is this level of income going to support sky high house prices?

2. High oil price could lead high inflation and high interest rates. As a result, it will increase borrowing cost and damage the house market.

First of all ,the price of crude didn't rise from $12 in early 1999 to nearly $70 because the world suddenly ran out of oil. On the contrary, the world supply of petroleum has risen more than 15 percent since then, according to the International Energy Agency.
! ]$ c8 J1 @) V1 L# [: B7 S
' R6 `" _3 A" g+ g' e1 bSecondly, the oil price is self limiting.  When the cost of oil goes up, production costs are increased and profits reduced for industries that depend on oil which cause slowdown of economic growth. Slow economic growth will cause oil price to go down. Plus higher oil prices encourage conservation and development of unconventional oil resources and alternative fuels. Higher oil prices should also help overcome at least some of the difficulties in developing the vast conventional reserves not fully connected to the market.

Crassula

Are you from Alberta? High oil price may hurt the whole world's real estate market. But it will not hurt those countries or provinces where produce oil. Central bank will not increase the interest rate only because of Alberta's booming. It will hurt other provinces more if you read the news how many jobs loss in the last 2 years in Ontario because of the high value of Loonie. Once again, if you are from Alberta, you will know those big public projects are all funded by tax which 35% from energy industry. Why do you think Alberta has labour shortage? Do you know how much we have suplus in the last 5 years, those are tax haven't been spent yet. Also if you have done your study of Alberta's real estate history, you will know every time oil price rise, house value increase in Alberta.

7 x- K$ K1 v- |$ G$ t, f2 JOPEC control 40% world supply of oil, the other 60% comes from out side of OPEC. They may affect the oil price for the short term but they can't control the price. Let's say if the global economy heads to a down turn because the oil price goes too high, which will result in less demand on oil, what OPEC is going to do to maintain the revenue level they enjoy right now?

You may predict that there are millions of people coming to Edmonton looking for opportunity... they all need a place to stay, don't they? But if they can't afford it, they won't be coming ...never forget the basic law of supply and demand from econ 101. Buyers must be able to purchase for demand to be effective and too much inventory reduces prices in cars, televisions, and of course...houses.

中国因素什么的能解释为什么油价从20到70吗?
2000年为什么油价那么低?7年时间需求就扩大这么多?中国进口石油占世界石油需求的多少?
谁觉得这make sense?

My properties purchased in 2005 have doubled the value.
Do you think there are twice demands for the house? It is always the margin effect pushing the price.
Say, there are 100 barrel per day production capacity and there are 95b per day demand now, when the demand approaching 97b per day. What will happen, either increase the pc, or rise the price. If OPEC choose the option 1, only because the pressure from the G8. If OPEC ignore those pressures, my investment in Alberta will give me good return. Even for the properties I bought this year. Apparently, they have reduced the production this Febrary and there are only two chances a year for them to decide to increase or lower the production. So far no sign of the pressure from G8 yet.
Even G8 push them, it may take 8 months before they agree to increase the prodution. If you think OPEC have no power to control the price, why the price drop from last July to this January, and rise again after Feburary. Even it drops now, it will at least take one or two years before they can drop under $35. What do you think about the real estate in Edmonton? Like most who claimed it will drop last year, may have to rent for another 2 years without knowing if the market will go down or not. Like Chinson's question, should we buy it or not? Actually, we should not answer his question, we are just discussing the relationship between oil price and the housing market in Edmonton.

The primary concerns for purchasing primary residence and for investing in real estate are different. The primary concern to purchase for primary residence is that whether it's a good place to live (good school, convenience to work, good neighbrohood etc.) and whether you can afford it. The primary concern for purely investing in real estate is whether your investment will make a good return in the years to come and what is the risk/return ratio? The other major concern for investing is whether it gives your good cash flow.

82-87 年好象是“补跌”来着。87-2000似乎年增长也超过4%了。
如果以史为鉴， 房价年增长为8%么？那次谁说是5.25%来着？

我觉得近年也许称得上“补涨”，但是现在已经明显“补”过头了。

一半清醒

俺这灌水帖，都让你们给说成了正事，汗颜呀。
大家都看到石油等自然资源的价格在不断上涨，爱城得房价也创出历史新高等等。这只是表象，通货膨胀才真凶----现在的1加元（或美元）与十年或二十年前的比有很大不同----更不值钱了。在石油的（使用）价值不变情况下，衡量其价格的货币贬值就体现其价格上涨，另外，现在用油的地方也在不断增加，市场上需求很大。
爱城的房价已经实现了快速补涨。
