WHY URBANITES ARE MOVING TO
COTTAGE COUNTRY Written By: JULIE ACHTERMEIER
If you thought the real estate market in the city and suburbs was exploding all over Ontario, it's no comparison to what's happening in cottage country. Since the start of the pandemic, The Canadian Real Estate Association has been reporting Canada-wide price increases to detached and semi-detached homes – average home prices increased by 16.5 percent in the Greater Toronto Region alone. That's a healthy growth rate but compare that to the Kawartha Lakes region and imagine a staggering 36.9 percent increase in average prices in March of 2021 compared to the same time last year. The Muskoka region, Haliburton, Parry Sound and Orillia (known as the Lakelands) saw a jump in average prices of 42.2 percent year on year. To call these increases record-breaking would be an understatement. Yet, homes and cottages in these regions are still highly sought after and seem likely to report even higher sales by the end of the summer. Why the Shift? The growing demand for rural homes spurred on by the pandemic created two main reasons for families to move to cottage country: the ability to work remotely and the inability to travel. For almost two years, the only way to "play" was to move to the country and combine home and recreation. In effect, the staycation has taken on a whole new, more permanent meaning. As more companies move to remote work or a hybrid model (part at-home, part in-office), the need to remain in cities is dwindling. Increasing home prices make it impossible for most families to own both a cottage and a residence, so many are choosing to relocate and combine work and play in the great outdoors. Or, they're becoming priced out of the GTA entirely and choosing rural life instead.

2021-07-14 9:25 AM
In an interesting turn of events, the first half of 2021 saw millennials make up a growing number of cottage buyers as they escaped the cramped quarters of the city in favour of more space and scenery. The lower rural prices made homeownership affordable for this younger generation, so long as they were willing to relocate. The quandary now is, will it remain affordable as prices soar and inventory remains low through the summer months. Lower interest rates have also given buyers an incentive, and the confidence, to take the plunge. In the past year of increased cottage sales, more than half are first-time recreational property buyers. Some are making a lifestyle change to rural living. Others are taking advantage of their forced saving during the pandemic and record low borrowing rates to finally achieve their dream of cottage ownership. What's the Future for Ontario's Cottage Country? While it initially appeared that remote work was temporary in the early days of the pandemic, it seems now to have spawned a new “work-from-anywhere” movement. As this new way to work grabs hold, it's prompting more families to consider a permanent lifestyle shift. Since the Lakelands cottage region is closer to the GTA, it’s more attractive for buyers who want the escape but are not ready to venture too far north. The market forecast is for sales to slow somewhat towards the end of 2021 and into the winter months, but recreational property prices are still expected to climb 10 percent in the second half of the year. The concern is, as prices continue to climb, some buyers may soon be priced out of cottage country as well. As vaccinations increase across Ontario and a new-normal life begins to takes shape, perhaps we will see how the next generation will balance work and living... with more people choosing a professional remote-work life in a scenic, recreational setting.

ARE
YOU READY FOR
HOME OWNERSHIP? written by JASON WOODS
While most people know the main things they need to buy a home, such as stable employment and enough money for a down payment, there are a few other factors that may help you realize that you’re ready – perhaps even earlier than you thought! In fact, there are four main things that can help you determine if you are ready for home ownership. YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR DOWN PAYMENT AND ONGOING COSTS It is easy for potential homeowners to get wrapped up in focusing on having enough money for the down payment and then forget about afterwards. It is important that you are not only financially able to afford the down payment, but that you can manage the monthly mortgage payments and ongoing maintenance as well. The My Mortgage Toolbox app from Dominion Lending Centres has some great calculators to help you determine what you can afford on a monthly basis before you get in too deep. You can scan the QR code below to download the app. If you have enough funds in the bank for a down payment and are able to manage the monthly costs associated with the size and price range of home you would need, then you may be ready to start house-hunting!

2021-07-14 9:28 AM
YOU HAVE GOOD CREDIT As most people know, credit score plays a major role in qualifying for financing to purchase a home. If you have a good credit score, which should now be at least 680 to qualify, then you have nothing to worry about! However, if your credit score is below this, it is more likely that you will be paying higher interest rates (and therefore have higher payments), or that you could be denied all-together. Before you begin your home buying journey, it is vital to have your credit score in order to ensure you can get the best mortgage product and rates. Working with a mortgage professional can help you get on the right track in the shortest time possible. Sometimes all that’s needed are a few subtle changes, or debt consolidation, to improve your credit score within a couple of months. NO OTHER LARGE, UPCOMING EXPENSES Do you plan on buying two new vehicles in the next two years? Are you thinking of starting a family? Are you considering going back to school? Although you may think you can afford to purchase a home right now, it is vital to be honest about your future plans. What does your life look like in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? If you know that you aren’t planning on incurring big expenses that you need to factor into your budget anytime soon, then that’s something that may help you decide to buy a home. YOU ARE DISCIPLINED One of the most important factors for purchasing a home is budgeting. You have to know what you can afford – and stick with it! It is easy to be tempted by a gorgeous 6 bedroom home or a backyard pool or private community, but at what cost? If going all-in is going to leave you scrambling each pay cheque or derail any plans of future financial stability, it is worth rethinking. Understanding what you NEED in a new home, versus what you WANT, is a good step towards determining what you’re looking for and planning a budget that suits your needs so that you can continue to live comfortably.
