Figures from the Canadian Real Estate Association show that Canadians have been purchasing resale houses in record numbers this spring. More than 18,100 resale homes changed hands in May, the highest number ever and an increase of 27.3 per cent over the same month in'1984. In addition, the Canadian Home Builders Association estimates that starts on new housing will reach 145,000 this year, up from 140,000 originally projected. Are the people buying houses making a sound economic decision? Would they be better off financially to rent? The answer depends on a host of variables, including interest and appreciation rates. i ‘ If you are planning to rent over a long period, “you're throwing money out the window,” says Jim Abernethy of Royal LePage residential real estate services in Oshawa, 2 ATHLETIC SHOES RUNNING AWAY WITH MARKET TORONTO (CP) — Gone are the days when running shoes were worn almost exclusively by children; when high, black Converses ruled the schoolyards and all other brands were derided as “bo-bos.” 5 With the fitness craze pulling increasing numbers of people onto jogging paths and squash courts and into aerobics classes, the athletic footwear market is growing ‘The—Jatest addition to the market is a high-tech mputer model that tetis-runners how far and fast they ra how fare ave gone. — f Frances Kelly, spokesman for the Canadian Shoe: Manufacturers’ Association, said athletic footwear is taking over the casual shoe market. “It’s as high as 40 to 50: per cent in the teenage egment and’ creeping down into the junior market as ell,” Kelly said. Young adults also are wearing more running shoes owadays than they were in the 1970s. “People are walking to work more often, .wearing’ joggers and carrying their business shoes,” she said. “This is quite a factor in the United States, particularly in lew York, and I suspect it’s creeping in here, too.” Statistics Canada says athletic footwear accounted ‘or 2.4 million, or five per cent, of the 45.4 million pairs of hoes sold last year — up from four per cent from the revious year. Total shoe sales in Canada were worth 1.6 billion in 1984. The increased demand for athletic shoes has been: matched by an increased variety. Adidas, the world’s largest manufacturer of athletic shoes, makes more than 56 types including track, distance running and tennis. - NEED VARIETY Ed Ayres, editor of the U.S.-based Running Times ‘said almost every sporting a demands its own type of shoe. pee ee While “lots of people use one pair-of-shoes to do: everything under the sun, you could do yourself a lot of: damage by wearing the wrong-pair,” Ayres said. For example, running shoes are not made for quick lateral movement in tennis or squash. In fact, “they are made to inhibit sideways motion,” he said. Manufacturers such as Adidas, Brooks, Nike, Puma’ nd Converse put out a mind-numbing array of models priced-from less than $20 to more than $200, with women’s styles selling-for_slightly less than men’s. “There are shoes for racing, training, jogging, track, cycling, fencing, basketball, football, baseball, tennis, squash and handball. ete ——Phat doesn't include shoesfor people who run lightly’ rc those who land with a thud, for ultra-sensitive heels nd tendons, for feet that roll outward or inward when’ hey land and for wide or narrow feet. However, the bewildering array of footwear fits into es — training shoes for distance ngth. othe Adidas model will cost $150 while the Puma rand, which must be plugged into an Apple or Commodore home computer to retrieve the information, will be almost $300. renters. BUSINESS: Ont. “You're spending money that ‘you're not making a return on.” But Frank Clayton of Clayton Research Associates, a consultant for the housing industry, says that in the short term renters would likely be better off. : “If you think you are going to move every three years, the balance tends to switch away,” he says, - Clayton says that if a person intends to hold a house for only a few years, he should reconsider buying. With intersst costs and a six-per-cent sales commission, it’s unlikely the buyer would recoup his investment in such a short period. ‘Abernethy, who helped prepare ‘an analysis of the renting-versus-buying question for Royal LePage, came up with the ical le to il the problem. Aconsumer has narrowed down the choice to buying an $85,000 house or renting a two-bedroom'apartment at, $500 a -month. 2 ‘This person has saved a down payment of 25 per cent or $21,250 and is ready to assume a mortgage of $63,750 at 12.5 per cent amortized over 25 years. Monthly payments are Taxes and heating cost the buyer $1,000 a year and increase at six per cent a year.

With the $21,250 down payment, that comes to a total of $334,782. At the same time, it is assumed.that.the value of the house has risen by five per than renting? While this may seem optimistit in some communities, Royal LePage notes that house pirces across Canada have risen by a average of seven per cent annually over the last 40 years. i ‘The buyer will have spent $324,782 over the period, but— now owns a home worth $260,000. His net outlay over this period amounts to $74,782. = x ‘The renter, on the other hand, has invested his $21,250 down payment in.an investment grossing 10 per cent interest 'a year. But'30 per cent of the interest is subtracted for income taxes, ? After 25 years, the renter has paid out’$317,000 in rent and his investment has grown to $122,904, leaving a net ‘outlay of $199,096 for the renter. DOESN'T FIT Bice Clayton points out, however, that this scenario doesn't -fit the usual home-buying pattern. Typically homebuyers in their 20s will purchase a beginner's home, buy a larger home when their lifestyle changes with income or children, and don't truly settle into their homes until their 30s or 40s. This means that, with sales commissions of six per cent, the buyer would most likely lose money on his first and second homes, he said. Does this mean that people should put off buying a home until they are reasonably sure of staying there for.25 years? Not necessarily, says Clayton. Sometimes house prices rise fast enough that buyers canrecoup their sales i and earn some jitional y a few years, he says. —________1 ‘That additional equity is'then applied to the second home through an increased down payment, and the long-ternrsavings-are_passed on to the second home.
