EDITOR’S NOTE
COTTAGE LIFE ALL YEAR LONG
There’s something about being surrounded by nature that creates a sense of calm. Sure, that can be disrupted the moment a bug whizzes by your ear, but it can be so beneficial to take the time to connect with nature and just be still. According to a survey by Royal LePage, Canadians are being drawn to recreational properties, mainly as a retirement residence or as a place to raise their family in some of the most beautiful natural settings in the country. The survey indicates that Canada’s recreational real estate market is experiencing healthy growth, especially in Alberta. If you’d love to live by nature and are thinking of making that dream come true, turn to page 24 for more helpful information from this study. And come mortgage time, tips on pages 26 and 34 can help you determine the best approach for your financial situation while also helping you save money. If you live in the city but appreciate cottage life, you can still bring that environment into your home. On page 18, Rebecca Hay shares her decor tips for creating a cottage vibe indoors. And if you’ve been invited to a cottage getaway with family or friends this summer, check out page 28 for plenty of thank-you gift ideas. Wherever you are this summer, make opportunities to really appreciate our beautiful country.

Cottage IN THE CITY
Summer is in the air, and it’s time to update your decor! Designer Rebecca Hay offers her top picks for creating a relaxed cottage vibe in the city
18 NextHome.ca | West
Rebecca Hay is principal designer at Rebecca Hay Designs Inc., known and celebrated for her design work and appearances on various acclaimed HGTV shows. rebeccahaydesigns.com
Whether you have a summer home or want to recreate that holiday vibe in your own home, remember that when it comes to summer living, it’s all about relaxation, comfort and having fun!
whiteout
The best way to create a summer retreat is with the use of white paint. Companies such as Para Paints have so many options for fresh yet warm shades of white – you can’t go wrong with any of them. If you paint your walls white, include colour through art, drapery and small accessories. The added pops of colour can add a playful touch to summer decor.
wood details
I love to infuse wood details into my summer decor. The inviting properties of wood help to balance all those white walls. It also adds an element of warmth and often history. When looking for wooden furniture, think pine – it’s synonymous with relaxed cottage style.
blue accents
Adding blue to your decor is by far the freshest way to create a crisp cottage aesthetic. I love nautical navy but softer, more subtle shades of blue work, too. Layer in this colour with art, pillows and even lighting. Coloured lighting is a big trend that is popping up everywhere.
vintage flair
Add vintage finds and family antiques for character and a relaxed feeling in your space. Summer is the perfect time of year to go to antique markets and wander around consignment stores to find the right vintage piece.
au naturel
Fabrics such as cotton, wool and jute can add a relaxed feeling to any space. It’s okay if they wrinkle or aren’t perfect – that’s the idea! Jute rugs are fantastic and can withstand a lot of wear. Summer is a time for bare feet and shorts so keep in mind that it’s always nice to have natural materials to stand or sit on. A great cotton slipcovered sofa will make your guests feel at ease; they may not want to leave.

ADVICE | BILD ALBERTA REPORT
LOCATION OR BUILDER WHICH IS YOUR PRIORITY?
CARMEN WYTON
From carpets to countertops, purchasing a newly built home gives you a lot of options. Before you get to the aesthetics of your home, you will need to make two important decisions: Where you want to live and who will build your new home. LOCATION VERSUS BUILDER
Really, your first step is to decide whether to prioritize location or builder. If you have your heart set on a specific builder, you will have to be flexible with your location since home builders only have lots in certain communities. If you’re not intent on a specific builder then you may want to consider the location of your home first. FIND YOUR IDEAL LOCATION
Over the years, there are many things you can change in your home but the location isn’t one of them. Be sure to take time to really discover neighbourhoods and research the new communities you are interested in. Take a stroll around the area so you can get a good feel for it. Keep in mind nearby amenities, schools and transportation options. Don’t be afraid to talk to people on the street or knock on doors to ask prospective neighbours for their thoughts on 22 NextHome.ca | Beaumont / Leduc
the community. If you can picture yourself living there after your research, that’s a great sign. Another point to consider is whether the community is still in the early stages of development. Are you okay with construction in your area after you move in? Do you like the plans for what the community will look like when it’s finished? Think about these questions when considering a community. FINDING YOUR PREFERRED BUILDER
Your other possible first step is to choose a home builder. To do this, you’ll want to research the builders you’re considering. Walking through show homes is a great way to get a feel for a builder’s style and craftsmanship. Don’t forget to look into their customer service and support teams since you’ll be working with them a lot.
Choosing a builder who is a member of BILD Alberta will provide you with peace of mind, as they comply with the association’s standards and best practices in the industry. You can find a member at bildalberta.ca/ find-a-member. Balancing the big decisions of where you want to live and who will build your home can feel daunting. If you do your research and get your boots on the ground, you’re bound to end up with an amazing place to call home. Carmen Wyton is CEO, Building Industry and Land Development Alberta Association (BILD Alberta), the unified voice for the land development, home building and renovation industry in Alberta. bildalberta.ca

FORECAST: HEALTHY PRICE GROWTH FOR
RECREATIONAL PROPERTIES Thinking of buying or selling a recreational property in Alberta? You may wish to time your purchase strategically and consider location when searching for your dream getaway. According to a cross-Canada survey of Royal LePage’s recreational property specialists, the nation’s recreational market is primed for healthy single-digit growth in 2018, with Ontario and Alberta leading the way. “Driven by the strength of the nation’s economy, Canada’s recreational real estate market is set to experience another strong year,” says Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage. “Demand for recreational properties remains robust in most regions. The search for that perfect summer getaway continues unabated.” THE SPECULATION TAX EFFECT
Alberta is home to the highest recreational property prices in the country. With prices forecast to rise by 8.9 per cent year-over-year to $770,100, the province leads all other jurisdictions by more than $200,000, and will likely continue to into the future. This is thanks in part to the implementation of the BC government’s speculation tax. Albertans, who are one of the largest and most tenured cohorts of buyers in British Columbia’s recreational property market, are expected to increasingly look to their own province for secondary vacation properties, driving prices higher in popular regions such as Canmore, and west of Calgary in the Rocky Mountains. DEMAND AND PRICING
“Unlike British Columbia or Ontario, where you’re essentially a stone’s throw away from a lake at all times, Alberta has a very limited amount of ‘traditional’ recreational markets,” says Tom Shearer, broker and owner, Royal LePage Noralta Real Estate. “This has created a significant premium on all recreational properties within the province, and with more locals looking in their own backyard, demand and pricing will continue to grow.” 24 NextHome.ca | South
STILL AN ATTRACTIVE OPTION
Recreational properties remain an attractive option for prospective buyers; purchasers are flocking to lakes and mountain tops with an eye towards retirement or a secondary home to raise children. According to the survey, 59.0 per cent of respondents state that Generation Xers (36 to 51 years old) are the preeminent purchasers of recreational properties in Canada. And more than two-thirds of respondents (68.5 per cent) have witnessed a growing trend in Baby Boomers and prospective retirees purchasing recreational properties with the intention of using them as their primary residence, with many agreeing that sales activity attributed to this cohort will rise throughout the year (43.0 per cent). “As Canada’s generational shift continues, prospective recreational property purchasers are coming from both the Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers,” says Soper. “The market is being driven both by those in search of the retirement home of their dreams, and as a place to introduce children to the wonder of the world’s largest and most pristine collection of wilderness areas. Not only do these families view recreational property as a good investment due to its relative affordability and history of steady appreciation in value, but also as a means to start the next exciting chapter of their life.”

ADVICE | KEEHN ON MONEY
NEGOTIATING YOUR MORTGAGE CAN HELP YOU SAVE BIG
KELLEY KEEHN
How are your negotiating skills? Do you enjoy a little bartering when you’re on vacation but recoil at the thought of trying to get a deal from your banker? If you’re in the market for a new home or your existing mortgage is up for renewal, paying attention to the interest rate can cost or save you thousands of dollars. According to a survey by Manulife, nearly two thirds of Canadians didn’t negotiate their mortgage when they renewed it. And you’re even less likely to ask if you’re a new buyer because there’s so much emotion tied up in the purchase. WHOM CAN YOU TURN TO?
Considering the recent mortgage qualification changes, it’s more important than ever to seek the advice of a professional before you make a financing decision for your property. “Mortgage brokers are specialists in home financing,” says Paul Taylor, president and CEO, Mortgage Professionals Canada. “Brokers scan the marketplace, looking for the product that is the best fit for your personal situation. The lowest interest rates are generally available through a mortgage broker; however, the best fit is not always the lowest rate. Cancellation penalties, portability and refinancing 26 NextHome.ca | South East
flexibility are additional factors to consider. Paying a slightly higher rate may save you thousands of dollars in the long run.” WHERE SHOULD YOU START?
Consider working with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). “People working with CFPs are more confident in their goals and have a better understanding of what is affecting them not just now, but also in the future,” says Shawn Todd, certified financial planner with ECIVDA Financial Planning Boutique. “Turning to a broker (once you have a financial plan in place) to help with getting a great rate can make a huge difference in your mortgage planning. The last time my wife and I negotiated a mortgage, we utilized an excellent broker and they were able to get a rate that the banks could not offer.” HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE CAN ASKING MAKE?
Whether you use a broker or do the negotiating yourself, you
could save big bucks over the life of your mortgage. Let’s use a simple calculation of a $400,000 mortgage with a 25year amortization and a five-year fixed rate at 3.74 per cent (versus 3.24, both paid monthly). Getting just a half percentage point reduction could save you nearly $40,000 over the life of your mortgage. However, switching from monthly payments to accelerated weekly payments and making extra payments towards your mortgage principal can burn years off your mortgage, too. Kelley Keehn is a financial literacy advocate who has been on a mission to “make Canadians feel good about money.” She is the author of eight published books and is also a speaker, media personality and consumer advocate for the Financial Planning Standards Council.

ADVICE | MORTGAGE INTEL
RATE HIKES LOOM WHICH PATH FOR YOUR MORTGAGE?
ALYSSA FURTADO
The Bank of Canada stood pat in its benchmark for the overnight rate in late May, opting to hold it at 1.25 per cent – but hinted that future rate increases are in the offing. So, what does that mean for homebuyers who are currently grappling with whether to choose fixed or variable rates? (The Bank of Canada’s overnight rate is one of the major factors banks use when setting their own prime rates, which are tied to variable rates.) First, let’s take a look at what is guiding the Bank of Canada when it comes to deciding the future of its overnight rate. “The Bank of Canada assessed the housing industry as ‘soft’ as a result of the B-20 stress test and increasing interest rates,” says James Laird, president of CanWise Financial. “The Bank expects housing activity to pick up; however, if it doesn’t, housing will be a strong moderating factor in delaying future interest rate hikes. It is apparent that the Bank of Canada has some concern about activity in the housing market, and they’re going to keep a close eye on the stabilization of the market as they determine future interest rate policy.” However, the Bank of Canada has indicated it believes housing market activity will pick up and continue to be a main economic driver, hinting there will be at least 34 NextHome.ca | Spruce Grove / Stony Plain
one rate hike this year. “Governing Council will take a gradual approach to policy adjustments, guided by incoming data. In particular, the Bank will continue to assess the economy’s sensitivity to interest rate movements and the evolution of economic capacity,” the Bank said following its latest rate policy announcement. Laird predicts two possible rate increases by the end of the year. So, how is that expected to impact mortgage affordability? And how will it impact a homebuyer’s decision when choosing between fixed or variable rate mortgages? The truth is that, even with two potential rate hikes to come, variable rates may continue to be the more affordable option. Of course, every person’s situation is different, so it’s best to chat with a mortgage broker when choosing
the best mortgage and to help you answer the question: “How much house can I afford?” “This announcement should provide reassurance to those currently in variable rates that rate increases will be both moderate and gradual,” Laird says. “Those currently choosing between variable and fixed should consider the savings offered by variable rates, as the spread between fixed and variable rates remains at a seven-year high.” Alyssa Furtado is founder and CEO of RateHub.ca, a website that compares mortgage rates, credit cards, highinterest savings accounts, chequing accounts, and insurance with the goal to empower Canadians to search smarter and save money.

4 SIMPLE WAYS TO
MAKE A SPACE FEEL
CHIC AND LUXURIOUS… IF YOU’VE EVER
walked into a beautiful store and thought, I could just live here! Retail spaces have the same design challenges that residential spaces have: a long and narrow layout, without much light or architectural details. If you’re looking to transform your room from boring to sophisticated and swoon-worthy, then take notes as this is your perfect interior design article! Written by C. MARIE HEBSON
USE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS TO DEFINE A LOOK
Many times simple architectural details like adding mouldings, rounding a square pass through, creating an arch or adding built-in bookshelves can do wonders to transform an existing space. Shown here are gorgeous back-lit bookshelves and matching painted black ceiling coiffure for maximum drama.
LIGHTING AS JEWELRY
Some lights are utilitarian and others are like jewelry. It’s crucial to differentiate, to satisfy both needs - great when they overlap but do not sacrifice one for the other. Throughout this home, I used strategically placed wall sconces, perfectly balanced chandelier and pendant lights mixing silver, chrome, gold and black metals to reflect the homeowners style and taste.
TELL A DESIGN STORY
When working with my clients, I want to be sure I definitely listen to their needs, that includes budget, function and maintenance for an interior design. Then I delve one step deeper and create a sensation or mood for each room. More often than not, it can be accomplished with artwork and accessories, sometimes we need to create special cabinetry and or zones the activities as needed. Stay true to your design vision and the style genre you are wanting, if it’s a show home, then create a client or personality for each room and have the design reflect that creative outline.
36
BE CONSISTENT
Whether it’s your home or a retail space, the most important thing is to be consistent. Every room can be different but they must all have a common thread, an accent color that repeats throughout your home. I call this harmony and flow, and it is all too often forgotten in interior design. With these basic design rules, your sure to have success. Remember, every rule can be broken, but not until you’ve mastered the basics! Good luck. SPECIAL NOTE: Be sure to check out my latest creation, the Caritas DreamLife Lottery Show Home located at 5530 Chegwin Point SW, Edmonton, AB. I call it Vikings meet the 70’s…an eclectic vibe designed for him, but oh so chic for her!
