The Real Estate Book

Mississauga, Brampton & Caledon Summer is finally here!!!!

It at times feels like we have waited and navigated through the seasons to get to our beautiful summers. The best part about summer is the outdoors! Having a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy in these hot summer months is ideal. This might be a good time to start to explore a new home with a great outdoor space. To give you some insight into the current state of Real Estate...

On the home market front, according to CREA (The Canadian Real Estate Association), the actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average home price was a little over $711,000 in May 2022, up 3.4% from the same month last year. The national average price is heavily influenced by sales in Greater Vancouver and the GTA, two of Canada’s most active and expensive housing markets. Excluding these two markets from the calculation in May 2022 cuts $122,500 from the national average price.

Locally, in Mississauga, the number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Mississauga Real Estate Board totalled 630 units in May 2022. This was a sharp decrease of 41.2% from May 2021. Home sales were 21.9% below the five-year average and 37.2% below the 10-year average for the month of May. The average price of homes sold in May 2022 was $1,148,784, an increase of 7.9% from May 2021.

HOW TO

Create a Patio That You Love

Summertime Project A few small touches are all it takes to turn a patio from a bare spot in the yard to a comfortable, private retreat from reality.

These ideas can help you maximize what you already have to create a patio that you love.

GREEN UP YOUR PATIO WITH PLANTS

Page 5

The easiest and most versatile way to add plants to a patio is by using containers. Evergreen shrubs in containers can define areas of a patio, provide privacy and shade or serve as a windbreak. Smaller pots of perennials, annuals or bulbs can introduce seasonal color to a patio. One advantage to using containers is that they are portable, which means you can move the plants around to suit your mood and their needs. Just be sure that the containers match the style of the patio.

Another alternative is to have built-in planting areas on the patio. This is best done when you design and build the patio: leave open spaces to act as in-ground containers that you can plant directly into. This method creates more protection from freezing temperatures, and plants need less irrigation than if they are grown in containers. It also allows you to grow low ground covers that help soften large expanses of paving.

If you include a built-in in-ground planter, it is vital that the planting hole drain adequately and the soil does not become too alkaline as a result of adjoining mortar.

Here’s how to get the best results: Once the patio is built, including the planting holes, excavate a hole at least 3 feet deep and fill the hole with water at least 12 inches deep. If the water does not drain within four hours, you’ll need to improve drainage or use containers or raised beds. If the hole passes the drainage test, line it with heavy plastic, make several large slits in the bottom of the plastic so water can drain, then fill the hole with good soil.

FOCAL POINTS CAN DO DOUBLE DUTY

WATER FEATURES ADD AMBIANCE

In the same way you would decorate a room inside the house, use yard art to accent and otherwise decorate your patio. If the patio can be seen readily from inside the house, the use of ornaments such as wire spheres, metal obelisks or topiary frames with or without plants can help link the indoors with the outdoors. A focal point that also has a practical function serves double duty.

Whether elaborate and built-in or simple and freestanding, water features are desirable amenities for a patio. Even a small pond can host a number of plants and/or fish. Or install a fountain to provide a bubbling soundtrack to your outdoor experiences and minimize sounds from neighbors or traffic.

FIND FURNITURE YOU LOVE The most common and useful amenity for a patio is furniture. It provides a place to sit, dine or otherwise enjoy the space. When choosing patio furniture, consider the style and how it matches the surroundings, as well as how comfortable and durable it is. Outdoor furniture that has to be protected or that stains easily when exposed to the elements will probably prove to be more trouble than it is worth.
