Life events get you moving

Clean-up in aisle fi ve

The decision to move is often

triggered by a life event, such as a new

job or a new addition to the family, or

simply because you want a change of

scenery.

Whatever the reason, it’s important

to address what your new needs are

before you start hunting for a new

place — rather than during. With all of

the information available to you these

days, it’s easy to get distracted.

To keep you on track and up to date

on the latest listings available across

Canada, check out this issue and

our new website, YPNextHome.ca.

Not only will you fi nd an easy way to

connect with prospective properties,

you’ll be able to dig deep on details

such as such as costs, neighbourhood

information and much more.

Deciding to move is easy, it’s fi nding

the right place that can sometimes be

tough. Let us help.

Drop us a line and let us know if

you have any questions or comments.

We’d love to hear from you.

Good news, shoppers. Some great

things are happening in Canadian

retail and residential real estate,

as our story on YPNextHome.ca

(nexthome.yp.ca/malls-in-canada)

illustrates.

Now comes news that Loblaws is

committing $1-billion to build new

and renovate existing stores, adding

thousands of new jobs.

This is important because when

large retailers undergo major

expansions, it’s a sign of good times

and that an area is on the upswing.

Like proximity to mass transit, schools

and other amenities, being close to

shopping is a major attraction for

homebuyers. These features are

among the keys to enjoying your

home while you live there, as well as

for potential resale value in the future.

Large retailers and commercial

ventures don’t just pop up in the

middle of nowhere or in declining

neighbourhoods. These companies

make careful, long-range and well

planned-out decisions in lockstep

with municipalities and developers,

based on hard data, research and

demographic information.

Recreational lake front property has long been exclusively thought of as a summer treat. From that first warm weekend at the end of May, residents of cottage country do their best to squeeze in as much time at the lake before the leaves and snow fall.

There is, however, a new development in Alberta that offers the exclusive benefits of lakeside living year-round. Whether prospective buyers are looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, The Estates at Waters Edge offers unique, single-family homes to accommodate a range of budgets and lifestyles.

This secure, gated development is situated 45 minutes west of Edmonton on the shore of Lac St. Anne. As a perennial community equipped with resort-style amenities, residents enjoy the beauty that every season has to offer. Summer activities include water sports, fishing, walking, biking, or golfing at a nearby course. New for 2016 is the addition of a heated pool! A fully equipped fitness building is now up and running for residents to use and enjoy. Winter brings its own selection of outdoor ac-tivities, including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. For skating and hockey enthusiasts, there is an outdoor NHL-sized ice rink, complete with a skate change and warm-up

facility. Access to a private boat launch and a maintained marina allows for carefree boating enjoyment. For social gatherings, a club-house, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accom-modate gatherings both small and large.

Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Archi-tecture Team to keep turn-around time to a minimum. Most home builders charge a fee for any changes to their plans, however, this service is complementary for buyers who choose to build with Waters Edge. Owners can also choose to purchase an undeveloped lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guidelines.

Waters Edge homes have been designed in a timeless Craftsman-style and are available in an array of two to four bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,150 to 2,500+ sq.ft.. Layouts and room sizes are completely customizable to ensure that each plan meets the buyer’s needs. Yards are fully landscaped and can include a choice of parking pad, attached or detached garage. A variety of high-quality interior finishing packages are also available and owners can rest easy knowing that their residence comes with a 10-year Progressive Home Warranty to ensure the highest home construction quality.

Lot prices start in the low $100,000’s, and two bedroom residences with completely landscaped lots start in the low $300,000’s.

Two brand new showhomes are now open and available for immediate possession. Contact Mike at 780-405-6378 or 1-877-405-1105 or visit watersedgeestates.ca for more information.

MAY 6 - JUN 3, 2016 | NEW HOME GUIDE 17

Recreational lake front property has long been exclusively thought of as a summer treat. From that first warm weekend at the end of May, residents of cottage country do their best to squeeze in as much time at the lake before the leaves and snow fall.

There is, however, a new development in Alberta that offers the exclusive benefits of lakeside living year-round. Whether prospective buyers are looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, The Estates at Waters Edge offers unique, single-family homes to accommodate a range of budgets and lifestyles.

This secure, gated development is situated 45 minutes west of Edmonton on the shore of Lac St. Anne. As a perennial community equipped with resort-style amenities, residents enjoy the beauty that every season has to offer. Summer activities include water sports, fishing, walking, biking, or golfing at a nearby course. New for 2016 is the addition of a heated pool! A fully equipped fitness building is now up and running for residents to use and enjoy. Winter brings its own selection of outdoor ac-tivities, including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. For skating and hockey enthusiasts, there is an outdoor NHL-sized ice rink, complete with a skate change and warm-up

facility. Access to a private boat launch and a maintained marina allows for carefree boating enjoyment. For social gatherings, a club-house, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accom-modate gatherings both small and large.

river valley walking trails, and other

area amenities. Not that you’d ever

want to leave if you actually lived in

this house. It has everything you can

imagine you’d want, and more.

“My wife Seema and I, we started

talking about moving to a bigger

home, and that led us to talk about

all the things we wish our home

included, things that would make

living that much easier,” says Sunny

Sahni, president of Platinum Signature

Homes, the builders of Araylia. “So we

started a wish list, and suddenly we

were at 12,730 square feet,” he laughs.

“We collaborated on everything

to create this,” Sunny said. “Seema

wanted a design centre and I wanted

a huge showhome, so we combined

the two.” In fact, Flaunt Interiors

Interior Design & Feng Shui, Seema

Sahni’s design company, did all the

design and furnishings for the home,

and imported materials from around

the globe.

Main floor

For starters, the house has five

garages, enough space for your

luxury cars and perhaps the cars

of your friends who you plan to

entertain in the home.

The grand entrance of the home

gives off a high-end luxury hotel

yet homey feel, and it’s the perfect

appetizer to whet your appetite

for the rest of the luxurious home.

The foyer boasts 23-ft. ceilings, a

two-pane glass waterfall, gorgeous

marble-like flooring (which is featured

throughout the home) and a view of

the second floor.

One of the most unique rooms in

this unmatched home is right off the

foyer. A perfectly circular bathroom is

one-of-a-kind. The bubbly pebbled

wall in the middle of the room is as

unique as it is functional, acting as a

backsplash for the vanity and privacy

wall for the toilet.

Some of the other main floor features include:

» A large, bright, glassed-in office/den

with a custom-built library and desk

» One living room and two family

rooms, one that boasts a beautiful

wet bar (with ice machine, bar

fridges and more)

» A large bistro-inspired white kitchen

with Quartz countertops serves

gourmet function and includes a

grand sized island with eating bar

and a stylish nook. There are more

drawers and cupboards and pantries

in this kitchen that many showhome

guests could fathom how they’d fill.

(Space would not be an issue here.)

» An open and airy spice kitchen

» A butler pantry that leads to an

elegant formal dining area

Seema Sahni of Flaunt Interiors

must have had a great time sourcing

all the furniture and furnishings for

the home from around the world.

The bright purple, seatbelt chairs in

the kitchen are funky, functional and

formal, all at once.

Second floor

The beautiful glass staircase, with

rich, wooden, open risers, lead you

to the second floor of the house,

another jaw-dropping experience.

There’s a “bonus room” at the top of

the stairs, not that this home requires

more bonuses. But the layout and

design have combined to create a

comfortable family hangout, a great

place to play video games or do

homework.

There’s a stunning design feature

in one of the rooms on the second

floor. A triangular, geometric green

and blue pattern along the walls got

its fair share of oohs and ahhs from

other showhome visitors, and was

just another example of the care and

attention Seema and her team took to

decorate the home.

The master bedroom has a movie-

worthy walk-in closet that seems to

go on forever. There’s space in there

for everything from ball caps to ball

gowns and everything in between.

One showhome guest wished she

could fill the closet. Her partner did

not seem to find her musings amusing.

The second level features:

» Three spacious bedrooms with

ensuites and walk-in closets. The

ensuites all have large, glassed in

showers with their own unique tiles

and ambience.

» A comfy bonus room/study

area with an entertainment wall,

snacking station, study desk and a

walkout patio.

» A generously-sized meditation

room/yoga studio

» A spacious laundry room

» An elegant master bedroom with a

fireplace, sitting area and balcony

» A classy master ensuite with sit-

down makeup area, soaker tub,

glassed in shower and oversized

walk in closet

From the second floor are stairs

going up to the 1,200 sq. ft developed


river valley walking trails, and other

area amenities. Not that you’d ever

want to leave if you actually lived in

this house. It has everything you can

imagine you’d want, and more.

There’s a stunning design feature

in one of the rooms on the second

floor. A triangular, geometric green

and blue pattern along the walls got

its fair share of oohs and ahhs from

other showhome visitors, and was

just another example of the care and

attention Seema and her team took to

decorate the home.

The master bedroom has a movie-

worthy walk-in closet that seems to

go on forever. There’s space in there

for everything from ball caps to ball

gowns and everything in between.

One showhome guest wished she

could fill the closet. Her partner did

not seem to find her musings amusing.

The second level features:

» Three spacious bedrooms with

ensuites and walk-in closets. The

ensuites all have large, glassed in

showers with their own unique tiles

and ambience.

» A comfy bonus room/study

area with an entertainment wall,

snacking station, study desk and a

walkout patio.

» A generously-sized meditation

room/yoga studio

» A spacious laundry room

» An elegant master bedroom with a

fireplace, sitting area and balcony

» A classy master ensuite with sit-

down makeup area, soaker tub,

glassed in shower and oversized

walk in closet

From the second floor are stairs

going up to the 1,200 sq. ft developed

rooftop patio. The patio overlooks

the breathtaking view of the North

Saskatchewan River and River Ridge

Golf Course. The rooftop has been

roughed in for a future hot tub and

barbecue.

Lower level

There are developed basements and

then there’s this developed basement.

The lower level of the home is a

spacious entertaining basement,

equipped with a huge wet bar, golf

simulator, gym and movie theatre.

The wet bar is something out of

a movie. It has bar fridges, an ice

machine, microwave, wine chiller and

dishwasher. There’s also a built-in

water feature with LED lights and

bubbles fronting the physical bar. A

double-sided fireplace partitions the

bar and sitting area from the HD golf

simulator, which any sports bar would

be delighted to have. Further down

the hall is another office/den and huge

closet (perfect for seasonal clothes

and gowns), which is right by the large

home gym and a guest bedroom.

The home theatre room is massive,

and has funky zebra-print carpets,

five recliner leather chairs and an

area for lounging. There’s another

guest bedroom off the theatre room,

one that features all the expected

accoutrements included in the rest of

the house.

Basement features:

» Grand two-tiered modern theatre

» HD golf simulator

» Family Room

» Exercise room

» Office/den

» Guest suite with a his and her ensuite

» Nanny suite with ensuite

The house was named after a

mountain range in India It took a year

and a half to build, and its current

asking price is $6.2 million. Sahni has

had some interested parties in the

house, but no offers yet.

“We wanted to create something

in Edmonton that had never been

existed before,” says Sunny Sahni.

“We wanted to raise the bar and

show people what can be done

here.”

Platinum Signature Homes is

THREE GLORIOUS DREAM HOMES

were on full display at the 2016

launch of Full House Lottery on

Thursday, March 31. Now celebrating

its 23rd year, Full House Lottery

has been placing the spotlight on

important causes at the University

Hospital Foundation and the Royal

Alexandra Hospital Foundation, and

also raising much-needed funds

towards advancement of technology

and services at both hospitals. More

than $70 million has been raised by

the lottery – funds which help ensure

more than 1.1 million annual patients

are treated with optimal care and with

the most technologically advanced

medical equipment and procedures.

This year, Full House Lottery proceeds

will go towards the support of two

crucial causes: trauma and complex

surgical care at the University Hospital

Foundation and the Eye Institute

of Alberta at the Royal Alexandra

Hospital Foundation.

The 2016 lottery provokes some

serious dreaming with thousands of

prizes worth more than $6.6 million.

This year’s prize pool features coveted

cars, worldly vacations, and Alberta’s

richest Early Bird prize that includes a

Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, a trip

to Italy, and $5,000.

You’ll definitely be living the

winner’s life with the lottery’s three

grand prize dream homes that are

located in the esteemed community

of Upper Windermere. The first grand

prize, The Lotus by Perry Homes,

steals the show at an incredible

5,484 sq. ft. This lavish home features

a grotto pool (complete with a

tropical beach bar) that’s open to all

three levels of the home. The prize

package, which includes $25,000

cash, is valued at an amazing

$1,941,145.

The Mayenne by Averton is quite

the spectacular supporting act. This

second grand prize home showcases

5,137 sq. ft. of classic wine country

farmhouse flair, and features a

climate-controlled greenhouse that

is outfitted by Hole’s Greenhouses

& Gardens Ltd. Valued at more than

$1.8 million, this prize package also

includes $10,000 cash.

The third grand prize is The Solaris

II by Kondro Homes and offers some

serious Zen vibes. From a floor-to-

ceiling forest mural, to a meditation

space complete with rock-shaped

cushions, this home will transport

you to a place of complete relaxation.

Coming in at 4,125 sq. ft., this third

home prize package is valued at more

than $1.6 million and includes a cool

$10,000 cash.

Full House Lottery 2016 also

includes two add-on options that

offer a chance to win even more cash

– a Thousands-a-Day Giveaway and

the 50/50 Extra.

Visit the homes in person or tour the

stunning dream homes are open

nook looking at paint swatches for the nursery.

Introducing a new member to the Creekwood Family

Neighbourhoods. The Collections at Creekwood is a

naturally beautiful neighbourhood suited for homebuyers

we mean it – The Collections at Creekwood has been

specifically designed and built to complement the ebb

access to Edmonton’s naturally stunning views in their

who appreciate a peaceful sanctuary to come home to

after a busy workday in the city.

Just minutes away from Currents in Windermere, The

Collections at Creekwood offers residents quick access to

retail, wellness and entertainment conveniences including

a selection of stylish boutiques, fitness studios and the

Windermere VIP Cinema. Not to mention, a delicious

variety of family-friendly eateries are at your fingertips

including two new restaurants that have just recently

opened this spring!

Young families can look forward to a brand new K-9

public school opening in Chappelle in fall 2017, which

will accommodate 900 students in the Creekwood

Family Neighbourhoods. Homebuyers can visit epsb.ca to

learn more about the project, which is owned by Alberta

Infrastructure.

In addition to a future new school, residents in The

Collections at Creekwood have access to an extensive

Creekwood Chappelle.

Bringing in talented builders including Alquinn Homes,

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

PLANNING TO BUY YOUR FIRST home

and not sure where to begin? Here

are six homebuying tips to help you

prepare.

1. Get with the programs

There are various government

programs available to help you

buy a home.

Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP): The

HBP allows fi rst-time buyers to

withdraw up to $25,000 from their

RRSP to put toward a down payment

on a home. You have up to 15 years

to repay the funds.

First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax

Credit (HBTC): Eligible fi rst-time

buyers can apply for the FTHB to

help o� set the costs associated with

purchasing a home, such as legal

fees, disbursements and land transfer

taxes. The credit can provide up to

$750 in federal tax relief.

More information on these

programs is available at cra.gc.ca

2. Explore your options

First-time buyers can buy a home with

as little as fi ve per cent of the purchase

price as a down payment – as long

as the property is less than $500,000.

Anything higher than that, and the

minimum down payment for the portion

of the price higher than $500,000 is

10 per cent. So, assuming your price

range is at that threshold, you’ll need

to come up with at least $25,000.

At that purchase price, depending

on the market you’re in, this could

mean you’d then be looking at a

townhome, semi-detached or even a

condo, instead of a detached home.

6 homebuying tips for fi rst-timers

3. Check with the bank of mom and dad

If your parents are baby boomers

who have had the good fortune of

building equity over the years as they

paid down their mortgage while the

value of their property multiplied,

well… they may be in a position to

help. Many buyers are hitting up the

bank of mom and dad. In the last two

years, 28 per cent of fi rst-time buyers

called on the bank of mom and dad

to help fi nance their purchase; from

2010 to 2014, only 17 per cent did.

4. Become tech savvy

Mortgage consumers are becoming

very tech savvy. In Canada Mortgage

and Housing Corp.’s 2015 Mortgage

Consumer Survey, 78 per cent of

respondents researched online,

with 70 per cent using an mortgage

calculator to help determine their

payments. And social media is playing

a more important role – 20 per cent

used sites such as Facebook to learn

more, 17 per cent used a mobile

device, and of those, 22 per cent used

a mortgage related app. And all of

these fi gures are growing.

5. Befriend a broker or banker

Like many things in life, it’s all about

relationships. And whether you

use broker or a banker to secure a

mortgage, you’ll likely come to value

the relationship. In the same CMHC

survey, consumer loyalty strengthened

the longer people stayed with their

lender. But since we’re talking about

money, people are willing to switch

lenders to get a better rate and save –

a fact which is much more prevalent

for bankers than brokers. And because

brokers are able to o� er products

from multiple lenders, as opposed to

bankers who o� er only the products of

their own institution, the market share

held by brokers is growing notably,

particularly among repeat buyers.

6. Research, research, research

These days, with prices rising as they

are and uncertainty in some markets,

thorough research is an absolute

must. Everything from your target

area, desired housing type, builder or

realtor, fi nances, how much you can

a� ord, who you borrow from and the

structure of your mortgage – take

your time. Take months. Don’t rush

anything. Anything.

Advice | QUICK TIPS

IT’S TIME TO DISPEL some organizing

myths that may be keeping you stuck

in your mess:

1 | Multi-tasking is always

productive. False. Although useful

in some situations, multi-tasking can

cause you to lose your focus and

make costly and time-consuming

mistakes. When working on important

tasks, multi-tasking is probably not a

good idea. Some things require your

undivided attention.

Multi-tasking distracts us from

being in the present moment, which

can drain our energy and leave us

feeling exhausted and unfulfi lled.

Next time you are participating in an

activity, be with that activity rather

than thinking about all the things you

should be doing instead, or have to

do later. Resist the habit of trying to

do two things at once.

2 | Being messy automatically

means you are disorganized. False.

Organizing is not about how it

looks, it’s about how it works. Visual,

creative types need to have things out

where they can see them because

out-of-sight is out-of-mind for

them. This may cause their spaces

to appear disorganized to others,

but they probably know exactly

where everything is. On the fl ip side,

visual types lose focus when there

is too much to look at, so they need

products that allow them to contain

their belongings to minimize the

visual clutter. For example, a literature

Four organizing myths that keep your life in disarray

By Hellen Buttigieg


sorter allows them to contain their

papers while still keeping them

within view.

3 | You have to toss everything to

get organized. False. I often hear

people say to me, “There’s no way

I could get organized because I am

too sentimental. I don’t want to get

rid of everything.” Although you

shouldn’t keep things you don’t like

or will never use, there’s always a

way to either display or store the

things that matter. For example,

shadow boxes or display cases allow

you to protect as well as showcase

the possessions that truly mean

something to you.

4 | If you write it on a to-do list, it

will get done. False. I had a client

who was so proud of her to-do list.

It was prioritized, colour coded and

categorized, yet she was frustrated and

overwhelmed at how many things on

the list were not getting done. To get

anything done, you have to actually

schedule time to do the things on your

list. Simply putting a task on a list is not

a commitment. Blocking time on your

calendar to do it is.

A CommunityYou’ll Never

Outgrow

June 30 is the busiest moving day of the year. If you’re planning to move on that day, it is time to book your mover now.

Two Men and a Truck - Canada has created guidelines to help customers make any moving day as stress-free as possible.

One approach that works well is to empty a closet a couple weeks before the move and place items you know you will need on moving day into that space. It’s great to leave your current place looking good, so cleaning supplies are a must, and you don’t want to be hunting around for them. You’ll want a broom, dustpan, mop, your vacuum, some sort of all-purpose cleaner and cleaning rags and towels. Put cleaning items and towels in a large bucket or plastic bin with a lid to keep them separate from your other stuff.

In your new place, have toilet tissue ready for each bathroom, along with hand soap and towels. Remember easy-to-serve snacks, water bottles, a first-aid kit, facial tissues and toys such as colouring books and crayons for the little ones.

Basic kitchen items will be handy too, such as dish

detergent, a sponge, plastic garbage bags, paper towels, paper plates and cups, a kettle and maybe a cooler. Remember a note pad, pen, scissors and pertinent phone numbers you may need, such as utilities companies (for both ends of the move), family members, real estate agent, lawyer and cable company. You’ll also need basic tools.

Think about the first 24 hours in your new place. You’ll need linens, soap, alarm clock, a change of clothes, phone chargers, important papers and money.

Be sure that your survival items are packed into the moving van last or transported in your vehicle with you. When you arrive, you’ll be fully prepared to begin life in your new home.

Advice | CHBA ALBERTA

YOU HAVEN’T REALLY EXPERIENCED

HOME HUNTING until you take

a group of builders, designers,

developers and suppliers to another

city for a two-day blitz of show

homes.

Our Association’s fi fth US housing

tour’s destination was Denver, the

capital of Colorado and a magnet for

millennials. We loaded onto a tour

bus to tour communities ranging

from mountain-edge suburbs to

bold urban redevelopments such as

Stapleton, the city’s former airport site

and now home to more than 20,000

people.

This group of pros rolled through

almost 50 homes, noting the smallest

details of construction techniques,

layouts and features and looking at

the big picture of how communities

were designed. They took hundreds

of photos – banking visual ideas to

take home to consider incorporating

in their own projects.

Most of all, they asked questions.

We were fortunate to connect with

the best source of answers – the

wonderfully helpful Metro Home

Builders Association, who joined us

on the bus and set up fascinating

presentations on their market –

especially the unique challenges of

meeting the needs of millennial home

hunters.

Denver is growing fast as high-

tech companies fl ee the overpriced

Silicon Valley market for communities

where coveted knowledge-economy

House hunting with the pros

By Jim Rivait


workers can enjoy mountain biking

in the morning and a fi ne craft beer

in the evening before catching a

baseball game downtown – and still

a� ord a home.

There was a lot to learn and

Edmonton CHBA members were

once again well represented, with

senior executives from some of the

city’s biggest builder/developers to

smaller fi rms serving infi ll demand.

These were all companies that –

even in a slower market – invested in

seeking out forward-looking ideas to

makes their homes better.

Many have been on previous tours

to some of America’s most interesting

housing markets – San Antonio,

Orange County in California, Phoenix,

and Silicon Valley. All these cities are

unique but they are a source of ideas

and inspiration and ideas.

Of course, our annual home tour

represents just a tiny fraction of the

ways Edmonton CHBA members

strive to understand what their

customers want.

CHBA’s nationwide homebuyer

preference study – powered by

Avid Ratings Canada – is another

example of how companies learn

how to meet the high expectations of

Edmontonians.

At the same time, the team

of professionals that develop

communities and build homes are

also constantly upgrading their

skills and knowledge so they are

better able to compete to become

your choice when investing in a

new home. Members also compete

for awards locally, provincially and

nationally through CHBA in a myriad

of categories to test – and improve –

their products.

The outcome of all that work is on

display at Edmonton show homes –

and you don’t have travel to Texas,

California or Colorado to see the best

ideas or learn about the opportunities

in the current low-interest rate

environment to build your dream.

The Canadian Home Builders’

Association – Alberta represents over

1,600 business members including

new home builders, renovators,

developers, trade and supply

companies, and professional services.

Jim Rivait is Chief Executive O cer of CHBA – Alberta. Starting his career working in government, Jim spent the last decade working in the private sector specializing in government relations, advocacy, strategic communications, policy development/analysis and association management.

Advice | MONEY MATTERS

THE HOUSING MARKET has gone

wild with people panting for good

investments opportunities. Slow down

and consider all the angles before you

dive into homeownership.

There’s something about money

Did you see that? The issue has

shifted from “shelter” to “profi t.” That’s

because people believe that a home

is a good investment.

While money is a key consideration,

it shouldn’t be the only consideration.

If you’re going to make the move

from renting to buying, look at the

dollars and cents.

First there’s the straight calculation

that compares the cost of carrying

your own home (your principal and

interest payments and property taxes)

with the cost of renting one.

Renters aren’t responsible for

maintenance. Homebuyers also

need to consider closing costs which

include legal fees, land transfer tax,

and other miscellaneous expenses

that you avoid by renting. First and

last months’ rent is also a ways

smaller than the typical down

payment on a home.

Of course, when you own, no

matter how small the principal

portion of your mortgage is (and it’s

minuscule in the early years), as long

as the market is stable, and you’re

not looking to make a quick sale,

homeowners are building equity and

increasing their net worth with every

mortgage payment. And when you

sell your principal residence one day,

the money earned is tax free.

Owning versus renting

By Gail Vaz-Oxlade


It’s a wonderful life

When I was in my 20s, I lived in a

neighbourhood that was suited to

a single girl hell bent on a good

time. Back then, renting was the

perfect solution: one of limited

responsibilities and commitment.

Renting is virtually a worry-free

existence — assuming you have a

decent landlord.

Homeownership is a responsibility

that also brings a ton of warm, fuzzy

feelings. It means you can put down

roots. You have complete control of

your environment so, yes, you can

paint your living room red.

Location, location

Buying a home in a neighbourhood

you don’t know well is one a

common mistake. If you’re new in

town, consider renting for six months

or a year to get a feel for the area. If

you like living there, you’ll feel more

comfortable buying a home.

Steady as she goes

Your employment prospects should

be stable before you consider buying

a home. Homeownership requires

a number of regular payments —

mortgage, property taxes, utilities,

maintenance and insurance. Missing

any of these payments can trigger

dire consequences.

There are a number of fi nancial

factors to consider when it comes

to buying versus renting. But the

decision involves much more than

just running the numbers. You’ve also

got to look at the emotional rewards

and challenges of each alternative.

I’ve been a renter and I’ve been

an homeowner, and overall I like

ownership more.

Early 2016 Calgary & Edmonton

Home Buyers Benefit Most From Market Conditions

Choosing the right season to enter into a typical real estate market as a buyer involves trading off between a greater level of purchasing power in the fall/winter months – typically characterized by lower levels of sales and listings – and a greater level of choice in the spring/summer months – characterized by higher levels of sales and listings. As spring has now sprung, one should expect to see more ‘for sale’ real estate signs in bloom across the Calgary and Edmonton regions.

Usually, inventory increases would come as a relief to any winter-market buyer who was unable to find his/her perfect home amongst winter’s stock. However, recent market conditions at any time of year have experienced unusually high existing, and new home inventory levels.

Despite this level of choice, home purchasing levels within these markets have remained seasonally low, and lower by comparison to 2015. Recent buyers have exercised some of the strongest levels of purchasing power seen within these markets in over 6 years (see table below).

In fact, the savings earned by these buyers strongly outpaced current annual expectations, which call for annual average single-family (SF) and multi-family (MF) price savings of -2.2% and -1.5% respectively across the Calgary region, and -2.5% and -2.7% respectively across the Edmonton region.

Looking ahead, 2016 will likely continue to be an odd year in terms of real estate inventories, as supply levels will fall on average throughout most of the year. This will no doubt be the trend amongst new housing supply as total housing unit starts were down -51% across the Calgary region and down -61% across the Edmonton region in the first quarter of 2016.

For prices, these supply reductions will help ensure less price flexibility within the Calgary and Edmonton regional real estate markets, making today’s buyer’s position the strongest we’ll see for the foreseeable future. To put it simply, now is the time to buy.

Home Buyers Benefit Most From Market Conditions

Choosing the right season to enter into a typical real estate market as a buyer involves trading off between a greater level of purchasing power in the fall/winter months – typically characterized by lower levels of sales and listings – and a greater level of choice in the spring/summer months – characterized by higher levels of sales and listings. As spring has now sprung, one should expect to see more ‘for sale’ real estate signs in bloom across the Calgary and Edmonton regions.

Usually, inventory increases would come as a relief to any winter-market buyer who was unable to find his/her perfect home amongst winter’s stock. However, recent market conditions at any time of year have experienced unusually high existing, and new home inventory levels.

Despite this level of choice, home purchasing levels within these markets have remained seasonally low, and lower by comparison to 2015. Recent buyers have exercised some of the strongest levels of purchasing power seen within these markets in over 6 years (see table below).

In fact, the savings earned by these buyers strongly outpaced current annual expectations, which call for annual average single-family (SF) and multi-family (MF) price savings of -2.2% and -1.5% respectively across the Calgary region, and -2.5% and -2.7% respectively across the Edmonton region.

Looking ahead, 2016 will likely continue to be an odd year in terms of real estate inventories, as supply levels will fall on average throughout most of the year. This will no doubt be the trend amongst new housing supply as total housing unit starts were down -51% across the Calgary region and down -61% across the Edmonton region in the first quarter of 2016.

For prices, these supply reductions will help ensure less price flexibility within the Calgary and Edmonton regional real estate markets, making today’s buyer’s position the strongest we’ll see for the foreseeable future. To put it simply, now is the time to buy.

AN INCOME PROPERTY can be a good

way to make money, especially in

retirement. However, there are some

things you need to think about before

taking the plunge.

Here are the advantages and

disadvantages of buying an

investment property:

Advantages

You can use leverage: If you have

equity in your home, you can use

it to help fi nance the purchase of

another property. In a low-interest

rate environment, mortgage rates are

lower as are the costs of buying an

income property. You’ll build up more

equity when you earn rental income

to pay down the mortgage. In the

future, you could use that additional

equity to buy another property – or

properties – but you should ensure

you can make larger mortgage

payments when rates increase.

You can earn additional income

regularly: As long as you have a

tenant, you’ll earn monthly income on

a regular basis. The more investment

properties you have, the more you

could potentially earn. You don’t

often get regular income from other

types of investments.

You get tax deductions: While you’ll

earn rental income, you’ll also be able

to deduct any expenses. Advertising,

insurance, maintenance and repairs,

property taxes, and legal fees are

just a few of the expenses that are

deductible. It’s best to consult with

What to consider before buyingan investment property

your accountant to fi nd out what

costs you can deduct.

Disadvantages

You may need additional fi nancing: If

you want to buy a multi-unit property

and intend to live in it, you’ll need a

down payment of between fi ve and

10 per cent, depending on the total

number of units in the property. But

when you purchase a property you

don’t plan to live in, you need a down

payment of at least 20 per cent.

Also, some lenders won’t recognize

100 per cent of the potential rental

income you might expect to earn;

some may consider just 50 per cent,

while other lenders might consider 80

per cent. In other words, you could

be forced to make a bigger down

payment to qualify for a mortgage.

You may not always have a tenant:

Ideally, you’ll earn enough rental

income to cover your annual costs.

However, you’ll still need to make

mortgage payments without a tenant.

You should be prepared for the worst

and have an emergency fund for the

times you don’t have someone to rent

your place.

Your property isn’t a liquid

investment: If you own stocks or

bonds, you can buy and sell them

quite quickly. However, it can take

a long time between listing your

property for sale and the closing date.

This might be a problem if you need

the money right away.

You have additional responsibilities:

Being a landlord can be a di� cult

job. You’re responsible for any

maintenance and repairs that need

to be done. But there are also some

headaches you have to deal with,

like a tenant that damages your

property or misses a rent payment.

The alternative is to hire a property

manager. He or she can take care of

those problems but at a cost to you.

While an investment property will

provide you with additional income,

it’s good to be aware of the pros and

cons before you ultimately decide to

make a purchase.

MILLENNIALS, PLEASE ADJUST YOUR HOMEBUYING

aspirations. Your targets are a little off , so we’ve

assembled Canada’s most millennial friendly housing

markets to help you.

Many of you – those 18 to 34, the generally accepted

age range for millennials – seem to be aware of what’s

going on in Canadian real estate. Others, though…

According to the 2016 Bank of Montreal Millennial

Home Buyer Report, 76 per cent of Canadian millennials

who currently rent, expect to buy a home within the next

fi ve years. But aff ordability is cited as a major concern.

Aff ordability challenges

Our fi rst clue comes with what they expect to pay – an

average of $350,000 on their fi rst home (but more on

this later). Wisely, two thirds anticipate they will need help

– with $35,000 of that amount coming from family. The

average expected down payment is 15 per cent, or about

$53,000. (Reality check: while saving for as large a down

payment as possible is wise, we wonder if aiming so high

is realistic for these fi rst-timers.)

As a general guideline, buyers can assume the

mortgage you can qualify for in today’s market is about

fi ve times your income. “So, if you’re looking to qualify

for a $400,000 mortgage, the basic income requirement

would be $80,000,” says James Laird, president of

CanWise Financial, in-house mortgage brokerage for

mortgage comparison website RateHub. “It’s important

to note that it’s a mortgage qualifi cation, not the home

price. If you have a reasonable down payment saved, this

contributes to increased aff ordability.”

According to RateHub’s calculator, “aff ordability”

is based on the household income of the applicants

purchasing the house, the personal monthly expenses

of those applicants (such as car payments and credit

expenses), and the expenses associated with owning a

home (property taxes, condo fees and heating costs).

The issue of millennials needing help in buying their

fi rst home also surfaced in two other recent reports. RBC

Economics’ latest Home Ownership Poll indicates 24 per

cent of millennial respondents say they are more likely

to consider purchasing a home with a family member.

Another new poll, from ReMax Canada, says 37 per cent

of millennials expect help with their down payment from

a family member or friend.

Trending

“For many millennials, homeownership is a natural part

of their journey and we’re seeing the next generation

eager to get into the market, even if that means exploring

alternate options like buying with family or a friend,” says

Erica Nielsen, vice-president, Home Equity Finance, RBC.

Expected purchase prices vs actual prices

The problem with millennials’ homebuying target

purchase prices from the BMO survey comes when you

compare them to actual prices. Their national average

target price of $350,000, for example, is well below the

Canadian average home price of $512,621, as of the fi rst

quarter of this year, according to the latest Royal LePage

House Price Survey. That $350,000 expected purchase

price, in fact, barely exceeds the national average price

for the most aff ordable housing type – condos – which

is $344,491.

Also surprisingly, 51 per cent of BMO respondents say

the type of property they hope to purchase is a detached

home. (Reality check: have you checked the prices of

those in your market lately?)

But rest assured, prospective millennial homebuyers,

there is hope.

Millennial friendly housing markets

We’ve assembled the most millennial friendly markets

across the country – what housing types you can buy

in what markets, at less than the expected average price

from the BMO survey.

In the following tables, we’ve laid out, province by

province, what millennials expect to pay for their fi rst

home and their expected average down payment, based

on the BMO survey. We’ve also projected the monthly

mortgage payment on a fi ve-year fi xed rate at 2.59

mortgage on a 25-year amortization.

We then list the available housing types in major

markets in each province that are priced at less than the

expected average price – based on actual average home

prices as of the fi rst quarter of 2016, from Royal LePage.

As you can see, in many markets, millennials may have

to adjust their desired housing types and purchase prices,

given what’s available in certain areas.

Still, there are some very millennial friendly housing

markets.

SUMMERSIDE IS a new

neighbourhood at Ellerslie Road

between 66th street and Parsons

Road, notable for the 28-ft.-deep,

32-acre Summerside Lake, designed

for swimming, fi shing and non-

motorized boating that is exclusive

to members of the Summerside

Residents Association.

LifestyleResidents enjoy the laid back feeling

of life on the lake. Paddle boat, kayak

and canoe rentals are available,

should you feel like getting out of

your lounge chair. Kids will enjoy the

lakeside playground, sandy beach and

surrounding lawns. In the winter, the

lake is converted to a skating rink and

winter programming is o� ered by the

residents association.

VibeRows of cottage-like homes line

up behind green boulevards. The

wide sidewalks are busy with young

parents pushing baby strollers and

tikes learning to ride without training

wheels, likely on their way to Lake

Summerside for a day of fun at the

beach. A to-do list of errands is easily

tackled with commercial services

close by.

Meet the neighbours Summerside is a family

neighbourhood. Although there are

young professionals, empty nesters

and seniors residing here, it is obvious

young parents have chosen this safe

and friendly neighbourhood to raise

their children.

In the areaThe cost of rent seems to vary

depending on the unit’s distance from

the beach. Rent is not necessarily

cheap, but reasonable. Many of

the restaurants, cafes and retailers

in Summerside are franchises. The

price of services, a meal or a pint of

beer will be the same here as it is

anywhere else.

Planes, trains & automobilesThe development of Summerside

began before Edmonton experienced

its massive economic boom and

some residents got in early. Bus

routes come through Summerside

and nearby neighbourhoods are easily

accessible, but Summerside is largely

a car-dependent neighbourhood.

Access to major freeways makes

getting around the rest of the city

easy enough, but expect a longer

commute to downtown or anywhere

north of the river.

Real estateAlthough the newer homes are

still priced comparably to nearby

neighbourhoods, starter homes are

no longer as a� ordable as they used

to be. First-time homebuyers are

renting out suites in their homes and

this benefi ts the rental market.
