The ripple effect from the new 15% foreign buyers tax could be felt for 12 to 18 months or more. What effect it’s going to have on the market as far as prices go is still too early to predict. What we do know is that there are 1000’s of deals in the system that could be in jeopardy of not closing because the foreign buyer has decided not to close to avoid paying the new tax. This can have a domino effect on other sales that are tied to that first sale. This new tax may also have an impact on luxury condos that were sold over the past 3 to 6 months but do not complete until 2017. Depending on what the market does between now and say 18 months out, will determine if those deals may be in jeopardy as well.
As expected, because this new tax was not grandfathered, there was a run on lawyers and notaries to try and push completion dates forward last week to avoid the new 15% PTT on all foreign buyers. Will this be allowed under the anti-avoidance clause that’s in the new tax ? The tax is not only affecting wealthy Chinese buyers but young first time buyers from the U.S. as well. The Provincial Government is pumping the brakes and trying to cool this market. What effect it will have is too early to tell. It’s the fear of the unknown, and if there are other measures coming, that might have the biggest impact of the market down the road.
