But the firm predicts the looming slowdown will not be a ‘blow-out’ like the 2008-2012 crash. The industry instead is likely to experience a prolonged but shallow downturn rather than a hard landing in the face of present economic headwinds as the demand-side proves more resilient than the past. In its Autumn market and tender forecast, entitled ‘Energy Sapping’, Arcadis warns the overall picture of inflationary pressure shows no signs of easing, with material price increases continuin...

The likelihood of the Bank of Canada’s desired “Goldilocks” outcome of a soft landing for Canada’s economy is growing dimmer, according to a new report from RBC. The report is based on recent research from BIS, which suggest “front-loaded” tightening cycles, such as the one being undertaken by the BoC, “tend to be followed more frequently by soft landings.” But that may not hold true this time, RBC argues. “With policymakers pledging to do what it takes to rein in inflation, ...

We’ve been hearing chatter about a potential recession for what feels like a year now, with multiple CEOs and politicians calling it out.

As it becomes clear that home sales and prices in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are declining, industry professionals are trying to figure out what lies ahead. How severe and how long will the decline be? Will it be a “soft landing” for the high-flying housing market or a “hard landing” that will resemble the one that happened in 1989? It is worth remembering (see chart below) that after 1989, home prices kept declining for seven long years and lost roughly 30% of their value during th...

It seems all but certain to many economists that a recession is in our near future. Bloomberg economists recently forecast a higher probability of recession for all the time frames they study. One of their estimates went as far as to put the probability of falling into a recession by October 2023 at 100 percent. The good news is that some analysts, including those at Morgan Stanley, say if a recession does happen, it’ll likely be shallower and less damaging to corporate earnings than past do...

Early pandemic fears that brick-and-mortar retail would not live to see the next decade look to be largely unfounded. Shopping centers remain a sound investment for private firms and large institutional investors alike, as evidenced by new numbers suggesting that retail acquisition surged to nearly $82 billion last year, a figure up 24% from the pre-pandemic levels of 2019. This revitalization has continued into this year, with first-quarter transaction volume hitting $25 billion, reflecting an ...
