//EDITOR’S NOTE

Much like that bank commercial that says, “You’re richer than you think,” a new home may be more aff ordable than you originally thought. Perhaps

you need only to change your defi nition of “home” to get into the market.

While a detached home is the traditional choice for many, highrise and lowrise suites, lofts and townhomes have become a prime choice among fi rst-time buyers and empty nesters in the market for new place to call home.

Not only does townhouse and condominium living aff ord you the opportunity to live in a prime neighbourhood at a great starting price, when it’s time

to move you can often opt to remain in the same neighbourhood, since many communities off er a mix of designs and sizes, which allows families to relocate easily without having to change jobs or schools.

Today’s communities generally have a range of sizes and prices that start at the “aff ordable” end of the price spectrum. Many builders and developers are gearing up for their grand openings and have new communities available for quick occupancy. It’s an exciting time to be shopping for a new place, so don’t miss this excellent buying opportunity.

Have a look through this issue and see what you think. � e home of your dreams is waiting.

Think you can’t afford a home?It’s more affordable than you fi rst thought

Buying your fi rst home is an exciting experience. Years of saving, months of planning, weeks of searching and days of executing a purchase

usually lead to countless hours of anticipation for newcomers to the process. For many, however, it can also mean trepidation.

Relax, though, you’re not alone. Indeed, more and more fi rst-time buyers realize the importance of preparing for their initial home purchase. According to the BMO 2014 First-Time Home Buyers Report, they’re taking not only additional time but also more thorough steps to better prepare:

» 30 per cent of fi rst-timers expect parents or family to assist in their purchase» 61 per cent are making cutbacks to their lifestyle to facilitate better saving» 60 per cent say their homebuying timeline has been delayed

While homeownership aff ordability is holding its own and interest rates remain low, increasing government-imposed fees and other factors are contributing to rising prices in the new home category. With mortgage rates expected to slowly increase later this year, additional preparation to make smart, wise homebuying choices is essential for fi rst-timers.

Options, options, optionsThere’s more than one way to buy your fi rst home, and it’s important to take your time to plan your purchase well

LOSANI HOMES | Fairgrounds

Losani Homes first saw the potential in Binbrook more than a decade ago. Its natural charm inspired a vision for Losani Homes CEO, Fred Losani, of a sprawling family-oriented community with large greenspaces where families and friends could gather. “I envisioned a place that anyone would be proud to call home, and this community has grown into so much more,” says Losani. “I started with a single vision, and the residents of this community have grown it into something much bigger than I could have imagined.”

Binbrook now boasts a 19-acre park, two state-of-the-art elementary schools, a brand new shopping centre, and is a prime location relative to the hustle of Hamilton.

Fairgrounds Finale is your last chance to build your dream home in this charming community, with the quality and craftsmanship that Losani Homes puts into every home. The stunning upgrades, top-of-the-line standards and almost endless options at the Losani Homes Design Centre – this is an opportunity too rare to pass up.

With more than 35 years of listening to our customers, they are sure to have a plan that meets your lifestyle. From open concept kitchens, to laundry on the bedroom level, our portfolio of homes will be sure to impress.

MATTAMY OFFERS

a new collection of popular, affordable Village Homes to pick from in Wildflowers

Mattamy’s community of Wildflowers is the only master-planned community in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. It has become a must-see for families looking for something special in the way of

home designs and community features. And right now you’ll find a complete new collection of Mattamy’s most popular home design, Village Homes.

Mattamy’s Village Homes start at a completely affordable $229,990. For a limited time, all Village Homes come with three stainless steel appliances and air conditioning.

Wildflowers is a community with park spaces, playgrounds and walking/biking trails throughout, all of which give families perfect places to gather and share their daily stories. There’s a mature forest bordering the community so an after-dinner stroll will be truly inspiring.

Many homes in Wildflowers are designed with a front porch, which provides an opportunity for neighbours to enjoy each other’s company and offer a friendly “hello” while out for a stroll. You’ll also find homes in Wildflowers are built with very large windows so you have the benefit of more cheerful, natural light streaming into the home. Many of the Mattamy design features

are dedicated to the small towns that dot the Ontario landscape. Since opening day, Wildflowers has earned much attention for the style and smart planning of its homes and community. The interiors offer more furniture placement possibilities than you’ll find elsewhere and the variety of exteriors makes each street different so the whole neighbourhood feels original.

One of the important features in Wildflowers is the broad selection of detached model homes. There are four of them and they will give you a very vivid idea of what life is like in a Mattamy home in Wildflowers. You can closely examine the attention to detail and smart interior planning that has helped Mattamy earn an unprecedented fifth Builder of the Year Award from the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD).

Kitchener-Waterloo is well known for its quality of life. It has old historic neighbourhoods and has always prided itself on being a family oriented city. It’s a

wonderful city to go for a walk. Stately trees grace the streets in front of grand old architecture and newer communities reflect the contemporary necessities of life. This is a perfect place to be in all seasons if recreation is a big part of your lifestyle. And you can always find a great meal or perfect live entertainment close at hand. Cultural venues are abundant. Those who live here know the many advantages and those who are just discovering the benefits are always pleasantly surprised by the depth of things to do.

So if you want to experience a perfect family living environment in Kitchener, visit the Wildflowers Sales Centre to see the selection of new, very affordable Village Homes as well as the incentives on 30-ft. detached homes and early closing homes. Wildflowers is the only master-planned community in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, which means you have features and home styles that just can’t be found anywhere else.

Townhomes start from $229,990 and detached Homes from $299,990. The four distinctive model homes and sales centre can be found at 179 Seabrook Dr., 519.744.9296.

//IN THE NEWS

Fusion Homes unveils The Metalworks, a new urban village in downtown Guelph, where a proud tradition of industry once thrived, and where a vibrant place to live, work and play will redefine our future. It is Guelph’s story, reimagined and revitalized.

This historic site at 5 Arthur Street South is steps away from where the city was founded, and once housed a grist mill, a distillery and foundries. Now, this once prolific site of industry will be transformed into a dynamic community filled with culture and creativity.

The architecture of the original heritage building will meld with the sleek modern simplicity of stylish condos and townhomes. Just steps away, a vision of the best in shopping, dining and art. It’s a unique urban lifestyle – right in the heart of the city.

Mayor Karen Farbridge, the project team and official guests of honour, joined Fusion Homes President Lee Piccoli at the official unveiling of The Metalworks on Aug. 27, 2014. The nearly $300-million, eight-acre, five-phase master-planned development is situated in historic downtown Guelph. The 600-plus units at this transit-friendly, environmentally sensitive urban village will go on sale this fall, and will be built over a five- to 10-year horizon. Outstanding features of this new community include: the revitalization of the former industrial lands owned by W.C. Wood Company Ltd., a freezer manufacturer, to create a vibrant new live/work downtown destination; more than 100,000 sq. ft. of the site dedicated to new greenspace; a 50-ft.-wide river walk enhancing connectivity to the Speed River; and a proposed 30,000-sq.-ft. of retail/commercial space. Phase 1 will comprise 133 residences with 2,500 sq. ft. of inspired indoor residential amenities.

Fusion Homes unveils The MetalworksGUELPH’S NEW URBAN VILLAGE, IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN GUELPH

Like The Metalworks at 5 Arthur St. S., Fusion Homes has a long and proud history.

Years ago, Piccoli founded Fusion Homes to offer the highest levels of service, reliability and integrity. In a booming industry of cost competitors, his vision of building superior homes without sacrificing quality or service stood out. It’s these values that have helped Fusion grow into the leader it is today. To date, Fusion Homes has built thousands of homes in five cities throughout Ontario, and has earned an unprecedented five Tarion Awards of Excellence for Customer Satisfaction.

Fusion Homes goes above and beyond for each and every client, which means making sure each step of the home-building process is as stress-free, transparent and simple as possible. While the company hangs its hat on personalized service, it also knows it is important to understand the bigger picture. This has never been more relevant than at 5 Arthur St. S. It’s a historic site Guelph holds close to its heart, so extra care has been taken to collaborate with the community to develop a vision that pays homage to its history while building an amazing future.

“As we embark on the latest chapter of our history in Guelph and for 5 Arthur Street, we consider the successes, the feats and the defining acts that have taken place on the soils of 5 Arthur Street. An authentic Guelph was grown here and defined here. And now, we reimagine and redefine this site and this city again. Consider the juxtaposition of old and new, history and future, tradition and innovation, vision and regard; we are poised to infuse the synergies of each into this community creating a landmark that all of Guelph can enjoy. This is our local, authentic downtown Guelph,” says Piccoli.

//COMMUNITY FOCUS

TERRA VIEW’S EDGEWATER ESTATES speaks for itself from serene setting

Terra View Homes’ Edgewater Estates speaks for itself – serene setting just steps from

the Grand River, close to all amenities, with gracious, custom-style homes where attention to detail is the rule, not the exception.

When you drive through the community, it isn’t a typical construction zone. With only a few homes underway at any time, each home and homebuyer receives 1:1 attention, so no detail is overlooked. It’s the Terra View way and the reason for its popularity and success.

This south Kitchener community is

set within the natural surroundings between the Grand River and Idlewood Creek. Shopping at Fairview Park Mall, schools, dining and recreation are right there – as well as skiing, hiking, biking, canoeing… you name it. The extension of Fairway Street through Edgewater Estates has increased exposure to this hidden gem of a community and made it accessible to even more opportunities for residents. There is instant access to Hwys. 7 and 8, for easy travel through the city, while Hwy. 401 offers a direct route for commuters to Toronto, Hamilton, London or Mississauga.

LOCATION: Kitchener

HOUSING TYPE: Single-detached homes on 40- and 45-ft. lots

CONTACT: 519.249.9356 [email protected] terra-view.com


TERRA VIEW HOMES | Edgewater Estates

Edgewater Estates is nearing completion, but still offers great lot selection – every lot offers a featured location. Buyers can still choose from conservation lots, backing onto the park, and crescent locations. Lots are all 40- and 45 ft. In addition, because Terra View limits the number of homes it builds in a year, each homebuyer gets 1:1 attention ensuring a home as close to custom-built as possible.

Terra View is offering homebuyers another choice – a finished attic or a finished basement, along with granite in the kitchen and upgraded cabinets. In addition, all Edgewater homes are Energy Star certified as a standard feature. Often, these aren’t features you can see, but they are definitely features you can feel, in terms of home comfort, and in your wallet through greater energy efficiency and fuel savings.

Now under construction and available for sale is The Huntingtonshire, a three-bedroom home of 2,090 sq. ft. with a home office area and double garage. It has also been upgraded with a gas fireplace with custom surround, hardwood, potlights, paint and Shaker-style interior doors. Its gourmet kitchen package includes granite, breakfast bar, ceramic backsplash, crown moulding and pendant lights in addition to upgraded cabinets. The powder room includes a square pedestal sink, and the master ensuite has also been enhanced with luxury features. For a limited time as construction is ongoing, the purchaser is still able to make colour selections or additional upgrades. While all the features will place the home close to $525,000, it has been priced at $498,900 and will be available in November.

There are three model homes onsite for viewing. While all are superb, The Cambridgeshire is noteworthy for showcasing Terra View’s commitment to Green building that has led to several industry and community awards. Terra View Homes has helped pioneer Green home building practices in Canada since 2006 when the company became one of the first Guelph area homebuilders to build exclusively Energy Star homes. The LEED model home is an essay in environmentally conscious building, incorporating the key elements of Energy Star, GreenHouse, Built Green and LEED, from the foundation to roof-mounted solar panels. The model showcases features such as energy-conscious systems that include a 100-gallon tank and an in-floor hydronically heated concrete slab to store solar hot water, an ERV to provide filtered air to all rooms, ultra high efficiency solar-assisted gas boiler and water treatment of city water, plus a plethora of indoor features. It also illustrates “Age in Place” features that accommodate future mobility needs in the future including a residential elevator.

All homes at Edgewater Estates benefit from Terra View’s investment in research and design as it addresses the needs of homebuyers of all ages with homes of comfort, quality and enduring style.

Life. Imagined.

Whoever said you can’t have it all, doesn’t live here.

There’s nothing like a little extra space to spread your wings. With larger lots, double

car garages, and great rooms for family gatherings you simply get more than you

bargained for with a Phelps home. Not only do you get more space to live, but the

craftsmanship and modern designs have been specially chosen and carefully built.

And what really makes a Phelps home special is where we put it. In Smithville. Away

from the hustle and bustle of a big city, surrounded by nature’s best - but close

enough to the things that matter; schools, farmers’ markets, and local wineries.

Visit our model home and start living the life you imagined.

GRAND FINALE PHASE 5

opening this weekend in Binbrook! Don’t miss the Fairgrounds Finale last release on Sept. 13, noon sharp!

Get ready to harvest the savings this fall. Losani, Marz and Branthaven Homes have joined forces to launch the final phase of singles and towns at Fairgrounds

Finale; a master-planned new home community in Binbrook. Fairgrounds Finale represents an incredible opportunity

for homebuyers to view a wide variety of models from the three top builders in the Hamilton/Burlington area. Each will be opening their sales centres on Saturday, Sept. 13 at noon, offering Grand Finale opening promotions that are ripe for the picking.

This award-winning community is drawing homebuyers from Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Burlington and beyond. Unlike typical subdivisions, the Fairgrounds Finale infrastructure and services are built-in and ready for homeowners to enjoy. The blue-ribbon attraction is a 19-acre neighbourhood park with a playground, soccer fields, running track, trails and more. Wide boulevards, setbacks, abundant landscaping and upgraded streetscapes emphasize Binbrook’s pastoral beauty.

Binbrook itself continues to blossom with a new EcoSchool, St. Matthews, that encourages interest in the environment, a new public school and retail centre –

Windwood Place – located in the heart of the community. It’s no wonder Fairgrounds Finale Phase 1 was named Community and Project of the Year.

Branthaven Homes brings authentic architectural design and sophistication to Fairgrounds Finale in Binbrook with a collection of rare singles and towns, attainably priced from the high $200’s. “This is a great opportunity to live in an established community with every amenity close at hand,” explains Branthaven President Steve Stipsits. “These remaining homes may be your last chance to own a Branthaven in Binbrook.”

The Grand Finale offering from Branthaven includes nine-ft. ceilings, a garage-to-house door, plus choose two of the following: hardwood on the main floor, a four-piece stainless steel appliance package or $2,500 Decor dollars for townhome purchases and $3,500 Decor dollars for singles.

Marz is releasing 116 lots with a wide array of attractive options in Phase 5. Choose from affordable 33-ft. singles, private executive woodlot singles and lush greenbelt lots in 40- and 46-ft. lot categories, as well as freehold towns that back onto a mature forested area. Marz Homes’ Grand Finale promotion includes the Marz Signature Series package of 28 exceptional

After months of searching for the perfect candidate, the Hamilton-Halton Home Builders’ Association is pleased to announce that Suzanne Mammel, long-time member and secretary of the board of directors, has stepped up to the plate as our new executive officer.

Mammel was born and raised in Hamilton and has been an active member of the association for 15 years. She comes to the HHHBA from her previous career as a partner at A.J. Clarke and Associates Ltd. Mammel has a great deal of experience and has been a committed advocate for the home building industry since she began her career in 1994.

Starting Sept. 15, Mammel is eager to put her industry knowledge and experience to work with our members, city staff and elected officials in Hamilton and Burlington. Within the HHHBA, Mammel is excited to work alongside the dynamic board of directors and staff of the association and aims to build a team-oriented

The HHHBA has been the voice of the local construction industry since 1942. Our members include builders, developers, renovators, skilled trades, suppliers and related service professionals. The residential construction industry is a major force in the Hamilton-Halton economy, generating more than 32,000 jobs, representing more than $1.6 billion in yearly wages. We provided a roof over the head of more than 2,700 households in 2013 and consequently generated more than $9.5 million in new tax revenues for the City of Hamilton.

//COMMUNITY FOCUS

SILVERGATE’S VILLAGE

ON THE TWELVE offers comforts of

home and community

V illage on the Twelve offers all the comforts of home and community in a natural

setting in this quiet northwest corner of St. Catharines. This modern-day village blends the character and people-friendly features of neighbourhoods from a simpler time with contemporary design elements resulting in a dynamic community ready for life in the 21st century.

Just steps from Martindale Road, Village on the Twelve has immediate access to every city amenity. Framed by a natural boundary of towering pines, the village overlooks Twelve Mile Creek. Its ravine setting has inspired the community and created its shape and flow while also offering walking trails along the banks of the creek. The entrance is a traditional turn-about with a central gazebo. Visitors will note that streets are designed for people first, vehicles second, with ample visitor parking so the homes are showcased, rather than parked cars.

Located on the cusp of the countryside while still within the city to enjoy all of its amenities and services, Village on the Twelve residents are within easy reach of all the region has to offer. Nearby is Port Dalhousie and shopping along Fourth Avenue, as well as dozens of wineries and golf courses, miles of recreational trails for hiking and cycling, fantastic dining, plus unique festivals and world-class theatre.

Silvergate Homes and Barr Associates have created this distinctive community. The existing ravine townhomes serve as its widely recognized hallmark, establishing the natural framework that wraps around the newest phase of 12 townhomes along Tulip Tree and Willow Bank Common. Built in three separate clusters, the townhomes will each have distinctive heritage-inspired architecture, varied exterior finishes and diverse, yet complementary building styles that create an environment that recognizes and reflects the unique personalities of the families living here.


SILVERGATE HOMES | Village on the Twelve

These clusters will include brownstone-style walkups as well as bungaloft models all guided by the needs of the residents. Homebuyers have a choice of innovative floorplans of varying widths and unique features with main floor master suites and vaulted great rooms; some with terraces or balconies. Each home can be customized as little or as much as desired. A spa-like ensuite, guest suite, full second-floor laundry, gas fireplace and an option elevator or a rough-in for a future elevator are some of the things suggested to begin the process of creating a one-of-a-kind home. Construction begins this fall with homes priced from the $380’s to $500’s. Occupancy is expected in early spring 2015.

In addition to its design diversity, Silvergate Homes is proud to be the first Niagara builder to apply the Energy Star environmental standard to an entire community of homes including Village on the Twelve. It is also the first builder in Niagara to build GreenHouse certified homes.

The company’s environmental leadership was recognized when they received the Niagara Homebuilders Association’s very first Excellence in Green Construction/Renovation Award in 2011-12 and again in 2012-13. As well as being healthier homes, Village on the Twelve homes also have a lighter environmental footprint. Built to energy efficiency standards well above the provincial average, these homes typically produce two tonnes fewer greenhouse gases each year than other new homes along with other energy and cost-saving benefits.

past. As the former capital of Upper Canada, Niagara-on-the-Lake (Newark) was located in a very precarious position, susceptible to attacks and a major player in the War of 1812. Now this location is ideal for visitors and residents, putting it within 90 minutes by car from Toronto, and less than 30 minutes to Buffalo.

For a town of its size and population (15,400 in 2011), Niagara-on-the-Lake has an economy that is the envy of major cities throughout the province, and undoubtedly the country.

With a base of tourism, theatre, farming and the wine industry, Niagara-on-the-Lake has a bustling economy that rivals those of surrounding cities. The town is a day-tripper’s dream with a main street of shops and dining establishments, hotels and B&Bs and the Queen’s Landing Inn and

C anada’s oldest small town and once named Prettiest Town in Canada, is an economic force in

Niagara with not one, not two or three, but four major economic engines to drive it. And it’s the only town in Canada with a lord mayor to head its town council. That is the charm and incongruity of Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Located at the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario in view of the Toronto skyline, Niagara-on-the-Lake looks across to Fort Niagara where battles were waged in centuries

NIAGARA-ON-THE LAKE An economic force

under a shield of beauty and history

//CITY FOCUS


With a base of tourism, theatre, farming and the wine industry, Niagara-on-the-Lake has a bustling economy that

rivals those of surrounding cities.

Convention Centre. The Pillar & Post and Prince of Wales Hotel, which predates Confederation, are stately establishments that have been strongholds in the town for more than a century. When a Christmas Eve fire destroyed the Oban Inn in 1992, it was rebuilt, true to its 1824 heritage design but with the technology of today.

The Shaw Festival, Canada and North America’s second largest repertory theatre company, was one of the major players that led to the changing face of NOTL from a sleepy, riverside town to a major player in the world of professional theatre, tourism and economics. From its inception in 1962 to the opening of the Festival Theatre in 1973 and expansion into performing spaces in the town, Shaw has drawn millions of visitors to the town and now generates in excess of $100 million annually for the local economy.

Beyond theatre and tourism, the orchards and vineyards that surround the town proper contribute to the town’s tender fruit industry. More than 90 per cent of Ontario’s tender fruit crop (peaches, pears, plums, prunes, sweet and sour cherries,

strawberries, and raspberries) comes from the Niagara Peninsula and the majority of these fruits are grown in orchards found in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The area accounts for 95 per cent of Ontario’s peach crop and 81 per cent of the entire country’s peach harvest. Roadside stands, operated by the farmers that grow the fruit, can be found throughout the area offering visitors an opportunity to buy fruit fresh off the vine from the first strawberry pickings in the spring to the harvest of root vegetables in the fall.


With its moderate climate, it was a natural step to grape growing and now vineyards and wineries have established this area as the birthplace of Ontario’s modern wine industry. Today, there are as many as 40 wineries surrounding the town. This growth led to the creation of Niagara College’s Winery and Viticulture Technician program, and then the Wine Business Program, both the first of their kind in Canada at a teaching winery, as well as a Certified Sommelier Program.

The town boasts great architectural significance with its Regency and Classical Revival buildings, from the post-war of 1812 period, resulting in the town being named a National Historic Site of Canada, as well as a provincial Heritage District. Both old and new home construction turn to these styles to complement the town’s heritage architecture as you’ll see in neighbouring new home communities of St. Andrew’s Glen and Niagara-on-the-Green. The old towne has strict architectural guidelines that prevent fast food operations and even the country’s favourite donut shop from opening on Queen Street, maintaining a streetscape that is tasteful and remains rooted in the past of centuries ago.

Buildings throughout bear historical plaques, reflecting the town’s significance in the establishment of many of the province’s institutions – its first newspaper, lending library, parliament, historical museum and governing body for the legal profession. Former military sites such as Fort George, Navy Hall and Butler’s Barracks are open to the public. Other national historic sites include Fort Mississauga, the Niagara Apothecary (the oldest apothecary in Canada), and The Old Court House Theatre, now in use by the Shaw Festival.

For a town its size and population (15,400) amenities are abundant. With its popularity among retirement-aged residents, those over 65 years of age number constitute the fast-growing population resulting in the town’s growth of almost one per cent annually. The town boasts its own yacht club as well as the oldest golf club in Canada enjoying a scenic location along the shore of Lake Ontario. Leading out from the town into Niagara Falls is the Niagara Parkway, a scenic drive lined by biking and walking paths.

The rural pleasures of Niagara-on-the-Lake with its farming history blend seamlessly with world-class theatre and delightful fine dining experiences. Once a town under siege, today you can relax in charming B&Bs, refresh with indulgent spa experiences, and delight in locally grown food paired with award-winning Niagara wines. From antique shopping to challenging golf to internationally celebrated theatre, it offers boundless charm to residents and visitors alike.

When school is back in sessionHOMEBUYING RAMPS UP FOR A BUSY FALL

School is back in session and that means routine has returned. Real estate professionals and homebuilders are now ramping up for a season of new opportunities in home ownership. If a new home is on the horizon for you this fall, the kids aren’t the only ones with homework to do.

Home builders know that those seeking new homes this fall are eager to view new projects, new releases and new opportunities. They oblige by using September to unveil their plans for the coming months as they introduce a vast selection of new home sites and new phases of development. Often these announcements address pent-up

demand from the summer months, and are offered with special pricing and incentives to encourage prompt decision-making so construction can begin before the snow flies.

Be ready when they roll out these specials by obtaining mortgage pre-approval. By knowing what you can afford, the house hunting is much easier. When looking at a three- to four-month build, there is no time to waste and those who buy in early fall are rewarded with a home that can be ready and waiting for the holidays.

Homebuyers looking to make a move often want to do so before Thanksgiving, Christmas or the new year. Others are looking at the end of the school year. With deadlines like these in mind, it’s essential to do your research. Key decisions such as location and housing type need to be addressed first. Lifestyle and amenities, schools, medical services and transportation access are the important factors when choosing a community – whether it’s detached, a condo or a townhome.

If you’ve got a young family, you may want to be near parks and rec centres; if you’re empty-nesters, perhaps an adult lifestyle community is more in line with your needs. How much time do you want to spend on maintenance? If you don’t, a condo might be the answer. Find out what is being built and where and determine if it’s a good fit for you and your family. Other things to research include your builder and their reputation for meeting deadlines and customer satisfaction. If it’s a condominium project, find out the status of sales and construction. A delay in construction can create a domino affect when you need to sell your own home or give notice to a landlord.

At this time of year, there are plenty of builder incentives to encourage buyers to commit now, rather than later. You’d be surprised at what might be included. First, you need to be aware of the standard features so you can compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Some builders might offer enhanced standards that are reflected in a higher price point. If you learn your standard features, you’ll recognize a great incentive and price when you see it.

By doing your homework now, you’ll be ready to take advantage of the incredible housing opportunities you’ll come across this fall.

//IN THE NEWS

A new CIBC poll finds there has been a significant decrease in the number of Canadians using today’s low interest rates as an opportunity to accelerate repayment of their mortgages. Ontario residents, however, are among the tops in the country at taking actions to pay down their mortgages faster.

While more than half of Canadians with mortgages (55 per cent) are taking one or more actions to pay their mortgages down sooner, a similar poll last year found that more than two-thirds (68 per cent) were taking steps to accelerate their repayments. The poll also finds Canadians with mortgages saying, on average, that they will be 58 years of age before they become mortgage-free.

KEY FINDINGS OF THE POLL INCLUDE:» 55 per cent of Canadians with mortgages are taking one or

more actions to repay their mortgage faster, down from 68 per cent in a similar poll last year

» Among those taking some action: • 32 per cent accelerated their payment frequency

(down from 42 per cent in 2013) • 28 per cent increased their payment amount

(compared to 30 per cent last year) • 18 per cent made a prepayment / lump sum payment

(15 per cent in 2013)» 58 is the average age that Canadians with mortgages

expect to be mortgage-free, a small increase from age 57 in last year’s poll

“A mortgage is the largest debt most Canadians will take on in their lifetime, and being mortgage-free is an important goal for many,” says Barry Gollom, vice-president, secured lending and product policy, CIBC. “With current low interest rates, this may be an opportune time to make progress against your mortgage – even a few small changes can make a big difference in the length of time it takes to pay off your mortgage and the amount you pay in interest charges.”

Recent research from CIBC shows that Canadians are spending more this year on other items such as home renovations (up 30 per cent from a year ago), and summer vacations (up 20 per cent from last year).

“With mortgage rates remaining relatively stable and at historic lows for the last few years, some Canadians may not be as focused on paying down their mortgages as when interest rates are higher,” says Gollom. “Generally, paying off debt as quickly as possible is a smart decision, but you do need to ensure you’re not focusing on your mortgage at the expense of your other financial plans, or by increasing debt elsewhere.”

Paying off your mortgage sooner can result in significant

savings, which can have a large impact when applied to your other financial goals.

Here are some specific examples to show how the savings can add up, using a mortgage of $250,000 (the Canadian average), with a 4.99-per-cent interest rate and a 25-year amortization, and regular monthly payments of $1,453:» Increase payment amount: Taking the regular monthly

payment amount and topping it up by $147 per month would save you four years and $34,362 in interest on your mortgage.

» Accelerate payment frequency: Most Canadians are paid every two weeks; aligning your mortgage payments with your pay deposit and making accelerated bi-weekly payments of $726 would result in saving four years off the life of your mortgage, and a reduction of $30,970 in interest charges. Combining this with increased payments as above (an extra $74 bi-weekly) would together save you seven years and $57,182.

» Make pre-payments/lump sum payments: Not a lot of families have a few thousand “extra” dollars lying around, but even using your annual tax refund towards your mortgage can make a difference. The average Canadian tax refund is $1,600 – applying that amount to your mortgage each year would reduce the amortization by four years and save you $33,103 in interest. Using all three of these strategies in combination would shave nine years off the life of your mortgage, and result in total savings of $73,785.

“Employing one or more of these strategies does take some planning and discipline,” says Gollom. “If becoming mortgage-free sooner is something you want to achieve, it’s important to look at your mortgage as part of your overall financial picture, and to balance your mortgage payment plan against your other goals.”

A mortgage is the largest debt most Canadians will take on in their lifetime, and being mortgage-free is an important goal for many


This time of year, without a doubt, is one of the busiest times for homebuyers to jump into (or move around within) the housing market. Depending on the length of the term you chose, if you purchased a home as far back as the summer of 2009, your mortgage is likely going to come up for renewal soon. If they haven’t already done so, your lender will start popping early renewal notices into your mailbox – usually within the last 30 to 120 days of your current mortgage term. And while the renewal slip makes the process all too easy (you just sign the offer and send it back), it’s not in your best interest to accept this offer.

For starters, the lender who had the best mortgage rate for you before is almost never the same lender who will have the best mortgage rate for you at renewal time. It’s sad – if you’re someone who stays loyal to lenders, that is – but true. On those mortgage renewal slips you find in your mailbox, lenders offer an average of only 0.25 per cent off their posted

//MORTGAGE ADVICE

rate – that’s nothing, in comparison to the rates you can find online or from mortgage brokers across Canada. Unfortunately, lenders market their renewals as being easy and convenient, which is something most consumers are attracted to. But how much would it hurt to later find out you could’ve gotten a full one per cent or more off your rate, if you’d taken the time to shop around and negotiate?

Besides just the mortgage rate, it’s also unlikely that your current lender will be the one to offer you the best mortgage product for your needs at renewal time. Think about it this way: your financial goals from when you took on your current mortgage term were likely much different than what they are today, right? You could be at a completely different stage in your life now. Well, the same can be said for your lender. It’s convenient to stay with your current lender, but the terms and conditions your existing lender offers may no longer suit your needs. Consider all your mortgage needs – the rate and prepayment options – and go with the lender which can offer everything you’re looking for.

One thing to keep in mind: if you don’t renew your mortgage with a new lender before the date your current mortgage term expires, your lender will automatically renew you for another term with them. A week isn’t enough time for most mortgage brokers to switch your mortgage from one provider to the next, so start shop-ping around early and make sure you find the best mortgage rate/product for you.

IMPROVES SLIGHTLY

Housing in Canada became more affordable in the second

quarter of 2014, thanks in large part to a decline in mortgage

rates, RBC says.

Amid all the ongoing talk of mortgage rates, market conditions, high levels of household debt and economic uncertainty, good news comes from RBC Economics Research’s latest Housing Trends and Aff ordability report. Housing in Canada became more aff ordable in the second quarter of 2014, thanks in large part to a decline in mortgage rates.

“It was more aff ordable to own a home in virtually all provincial and major local markets across Canada in Q2, and in the face of solid price gains no less,” says Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist, RBC. “We had anticipated a rebound in activity from earlier this year when the harsher than normal winter weather took hold, but the biggest drop in fi xed mortgage rates in almost four years and resulting improvement in aff ordability also gave the Canadian housing market a boost of extra energy.”

� e way RBC’s aff ordability measures work is, the higher the measure, the more diffi cult it is to aff ord a home. For example, an aff ordability measure of 50 per cent means that homeownership costs,

including mortgage payments, utilities and property taxes, take up 50 per cent of a typical household’s pre-tax income. A decline in the measure represents an improvement in aff ordability.

For the Ontario market, homeownership aff ordability eased by 0.2 percentage points for detached bungalows (to 44.7 per cent), and by 0.1 per cent for both two-storey homes (50.9 per cent), and condominiums (29.3 per cent) in the second quarter of 2014.

Homebuyers don’t appear to be overly concerned by the fact that aff ordability remained somewhat stretched for single-family homes, RBC says. Lower rates were the main factor contributing to marginal declines in aff ordability measures for Ontario.

In Ontario’s largest market, Toronto, aff ordability improved slightly for bungalows, falling 0.2 per cent (meaning it became more aff ordable) to 55.9 per cent, while deteriorating slightly in condominiums – up 0.1 per cent to 34.3 per cent. For two-storey homes, aff ordability remained fl at at 65.3 per cent.

� e good news for prospective homebuyers in Southwestern Ontario’s key markets – such as Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph and St. Catharines? Prices and overall mortgage carrying costs are much lower than in Toronto and than the Ontario average.
