Buyers’ opportunity

Low mortgage rates keep home shoppers in the driver’s seat through the summer

T

he Bank of Canada’s recent announcement to hold interest rates is good news for home shoppers.

There are many excellent mortgage products available from banks and brokers that will suit your individual needs, and some are even lower than posted bank rates. With a pre-approval in hand, you’re protected if rates rise, and if they go down, you’ll likely get an even lower rate. A pre-approval can be a win-win situation for shoppers since it means you don’t have to wait to get financing approval on a home when you put in an offer. This is an especially good tool to have in hot markets. Removing the “conditional on financing” clause could mean your offer is accepted first, since you already have your financing in place.

So, when will rates rise? Recently, we’ve been hearing that rates may not see an increase until next year at least.

The Bank will make its next scheduled rate announcement on May 29 – but don’t wait until then to get pre-approved for a mortgage. It can take a few days.

Many lenders now offer online pre-approvals to make the process easier.

What type of home?

When answering this question, be sure to take all factors into consideration

T

o each his own, as the saying goes, and when it comes to choosing what type of new home to purchase, today’s buyers have plenty of options. For some, choices are dictated primarily by budget, location or family circumstances; for others, financial freedom and where they are in life may allow them to select purely by home type.

Indeed, the answer to this question varies and depends on many factors. One common mistake buyers – particularly first-timers – make is buying more home than they can handle. Experts agree making yourself house-poor is not a wise decision, and the best news is that with the variety of product available from builders today, you are sure to be able to find a new home that suits your taste and budget.

It’s also important to remember that homeowners buy and sell many times over in their lifetime, so if your first or second home isn’t quite your dream home, you can always plan to move up, downsize or adjust however you need to in your homeowning future.

Eastern Ontario builders offer excellent, award-winning homes to suit just about everyone. Get out there and explore!

magine waking up each morning and looking out your expansive windows at the breathtaking views of the city’s greatest landscapes. With Mastercraft Starwood’s release of the Sky Collection, four new floors added to the already in-demand SoHo Champagne, your dreams can now become a reality. This luxurious building is destined to be the new hot spot in town, and it’s now under construction.

The Sky Collection is ideally located on floors 16 to 19, offering some of the best views in the city.

Whether you want to overlook the lights of Downtown and the Rideau Canal, or face Dow’s Lake, or perhaps you want to look out over the Gatineau Hills, you will enjoy beautiful views.

Located in the heart of one of Ottawa’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, Little Italy, SoHo Champagne and the Sky Collection combine prime location and luxurious living. Mastercraft Starwood, the developer of Toronto’s finest boutique hotel, The SoHo Metropolitan Hotel, and Toronto’s first five-star hotel, The Hazelton Hotel, introduced Ottawa to its first hotel inspired condominium in 2009, redefining the expectations of condo buyers in the national capital region.

Located one block west of the bustling Preston St. and a few steps to the new Hickory St. bridge, SoHo Champagne will be a short walk to the existing O-Train Carling station, which will connect to the new $2-billion Confederation Line – a

Mastercraft Starwood SoHo Champagne light rail public transportation system connecting East and West Ottawa, estimated to have its first passenger in 2018.

With the O-Train and the LRT, Little Italy will be the “new” downtown and now downtown Ottawa will only be a short ride away, with the added bonus of superb parks and Dow’s Lake. The impact this new public transit system will have on its neighbours is three-fold: not only will it reduce traffic congestion and increase the efficiency of travel to Ottawa’s downtown core, but according to a report by Don Campbell, one of Canada’s leading investing real estate forecasters and founding partner of the Real Estate Investment Network, neighbouring properties closest to the stations, such as SoHo Champagne, could see their property values increase by as much as 20 per cent.

As of May 1, buyers have the opportunity to choose from the Sky Collection’s four new design plans.

Two options are redesigned floorplans from the original release of the building, which sold out almost immediately. Prices for these spectacular condos start at $302, 900 for a one bedroom, and $442,900 for a two bedroom.

Each floorplan has been designed

by Gluckstein to accommodate fine furnishings of every taste and temperament. Living room and kitchen windows are wall to wall and floor to ceiling and up to 22 ft. wide, unheard of in condominium living. The windows will provide an abundance of natural light along with the views of Dows Lake, the Experimental Farm and the downtown Ottawa skyline.

Location Ottawa housing type Condos and townhomes from $288,900 to $2.2 million sales office 111 Champagne Ave. S. contact 613.798.7646 | sohochampagne.com

Each SoHo suite will be invested with the same high quality materials and standards demanded by elite clients who desire living spaces equivalent to the comfort of expensive homes. You’ll find nine-ft. ceilings, marble bathrooms with large shower stalls and a rain showerhead. Kitchens will be designed with the fine cabinetry found on a yacht or private jet, with an island and integrated European appliances concealed behind lacquered doors and the features and fixtures you’d find in the finest homes.

The entrance to SoHo features a hotel-like drop-off to the front door with its signature SoHo granite 10-ft. entry doors, a canopy and security desk off the entry foyer. Gluckstein has designed the two-storey lobby to luxury hotel standards with marble floors and elevator walls clad in marble.

A concierge desk in the lobby and the SoHo Champagne Club all feature 16-ft. ceiling heights with a library, lounge, bar, private dining area, fireplace, wine-tasting room and private screening room. The second floor features a Dalton Brown gym with access to an outdoor terrace. Steam rooms and washrooms are adjacent to the gym.

Each of the earth’s four elements will be represented in the indoor and outdoor Gluckstein designed common space – an amazing 15,000 sq. ft. This area includes a third-floor landscaped terrace and gardens with raised hot tub, 60-ft. lap pool, fireplace and outdoor kitchen. Host a dinner in the private dining room, watch a movie or sports event in the private screening room or visit the wine room. The amenities are managed by the staff of the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel, who will provide personalized service to a luxury hotel standard.

Just imagine what it would be like to live in a condominium where every intricate detail has been designed to awaken your sense of style, while simultaneously satiating your desire for comfort.

Visit the sales presentation gallery Monday to Thursday noon to 6 p.m., weekends noon to 5 p.m.

Understated and elegant, The Slater is undeniably lovely, inside and out. The graphic black and white exterior is a nod to the streamlined genius of mid-century design. A bold black grid overlays clean white elements, evoking the iconic design of a well-known French fragrance, with all the allure and sophistication to match. The Slater is beautiful by day, but when the sun goes down, it’s nothing short of breathtaking. A series of glass boxes light up the darkness, creating geometric patterns of light, adding warmth and drama to the streetscape and illuminating the night.

The downsizers: making the most of smaller spaces

by Marnie Bennett A spacious two-storey on an ample lot: it’s what many

of us aspire to. But a sprawling estate home isn’t for everyone. Many of my returning clients have found that, once the children have grown up and moved away, the family home is far too large for their needs. A few have found themselves obliged to move due to a change in financial circumstances. And a small but growing group is interested in decreasing its ecological footprint: they want to live within walking distance of work and amenities, in a smaller home that requires less energy to run.

Now, smaller doesn’t necessarily translate to more modest. I’ve seen jewel box condominiums that are incredibly luxurious and inviting, in part because of an intelligent use of space. Over my years in the business, I’ve seen thousands of home interiors, exquisite and otherwise. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. And when I’m working with clients who are clearly nervous about moving to a smaller home, I like to pass along what I’ve learned.

The most frequent mistake I’ve seen stems from downsizers’ reluctance to part with their large-scale furniture. Even the most expensive and beautiful chesterfield will look awkward if it dwarfs the rest of the room. As a rule, smaller rooms are complemented by furniture with slender lines, whether traditional or modern in design. Some furniture lines are designed specifically with smaller spaces in mind; seek these out.

For many downsizers, storage presents the biggest challenge.

Investing in closet organizers, beds with built-in drawers and pieces such as storage ottomans can make a big difference. One tremendous benefit of purchasing a new home is that you’re usually presented with various storage options. If you feel daunted by limited kitchen and bathroom space, select extra-tall kitchen cabinets and vanities rather than pedestal sinks.

Finally, I can’t stress enough how important it is to unload your excess possessions before you move. Difficult as it is, you must be merciless: if you haven’t used something in the last year, it should be donated to your local thrift store, or sold. For those who have difficulty parting with things, I strongly recommend hiring a personal organizer.

These professionals are whizzes at simplifying your life.

And then, surrounded only by things you truly love, you can happily welcome the next chapter in your life!

Larco Homes is entering Barrhaven

L

arco Homes is not yet a familiar name in Barrhaven, but the company has been building homes for Ottawa families for almost 30 years, and the builders at Larco are excited to be moving into the well-situated Longfields area.

Set between Claridge Drive and Longfields Drive, not far from Woodroffe, these gorgeous semi-detached homes are near every amenity. You can be surrounded by parks, schools, sports fields, shopping malls, stores, restaurants, a multiplex

theatre, all the services a family needs, yet still be only minutes from Ottawa or the surrounding countryside. The Longfields area is close to arterial roads, the rapid transitway and Green bike paths – and is within walking distance of six schools. OC Transpo service on Beatrice can have you downtown in half an hour, yet there are parks and a small forest to stroll through nearby.

The location is great, but add to it the fantastic finishes and highquality workmanship Larco Homes values so much. The homes here have unique designs with recessed garages, big front porches and windows and brick and stucco fronts, for a very pleasant streetscape.

Larco is known within the industry for being one of the better builders.

The company’s homes are Energy Star certified, and feature excellent

designs incorporating space for a young family. They boast three or four bedrooms, with a finished family room and a powder room in the basement.

There are nine-ft. ceilings on both the main floor and lower level and windows are big and bright.

They also come with a $10,000 design/upgrade bonus! Not that you’ll need a lot of upgrades. The items considered standard here include hardwood flooring throughout the main floor, ceramic tile flooring in all the bathrooms and granite countertops in the kitchen. Smooth ceilings, large windows and oversized yards make these homes stand out from the rest!

Little touches make life easier too, like a 42-in.-wide front door, making moving in a breeze. Doors and windows have upgraded trim.

Wide yards and set back garages mean you can enjoy side windows for more natural light or keeping an eye on the kids.

For additional information, call 613.668.7207 or see larcohomes.com. The sales office at 111 Claridge between Beatrice and Woodroffe is open Monday to Thursday noon to 7 p.m., Friday, weekends and holidays noon to 5 p.m.

expert panel

Voices of experience What are the truly important factors buyers should focus on when looking to buy a new home in today’s market?

T

here’s no substitute for experience–including understanding the most important factors new home buyers should focus on. We talked to the following six experts to get their take: Greg Graham, Cardel Ottawa Regional President; Rahul Kochar, Vice-President of Operations of DCR/Phoenix Homes; Vince Campanale, Vice-President of Campanale Homes; Kevin O’Shea, Monarch Homes’ Director of Ottawa operations; Mattamy Homes Ottawa President Mark Parsons; and Marnie Bennett of Bennett Property Shop.

Here is what these voices of experience say buyers should consider.

They all agree on number one. Says Greg Graham, “Location, location, location remains the key objective.” All our experts put proximity to work, schools, shopping, transportation and transit, amenities, parks, paths, doctors’ offices, grocery stores and entertainment venues first.

Says Campanale, whose Longfields Station is a few seconds walk from the Transitway, a school, park and bicycle path. “Being close to these amenities makes a very big difference to quality of life.”

Location includes the community itself. Says Graham, “People want a nice-looking home in a nice setting, to be proud of where they live, and proud of the community they share.” O’Shea

“Find a builder which offers a large selection of layouts so you can find the one that works best for your particular family...”

RAHUL KOCHAR

suggests considering the future. “Knowing what a community will represent through its evolution is as important as what it represents today. Parks, amenities and commuting time are all integral components.”

Adds Kochar, “Compromises may have to be made regarding commute times. For example, a larger yard may mean living in a more rural setting.”

As someone who has advised buyers Marnie Bennett has an additional slant. “Ensure you aren’t the castle on the street. Future buyers will look for homes in your neighbourhood’s average price range.

If you desire a castle consider other developments where that home style is the norm.”

This leads to design. Graham says, “People are inspired by design and functionality – natural light, open concept floor plans, functional kitchens. Families want a home which encourages family connections – where lasting relationships are formed within families and with neighbours.”

Kochar says, “Find a builder which offers a large selection of layouts so you can find the one that works best for your particular family. For example, you may be big on entertaining, thus a larger emphasis on

open concept and Great Room is desirable. You may have a large or extended family, necessitating more bedrooms and multiple ensuites.” He adds that some builders may allow some changes to an existing layout, but others may not. “Ask up front what can and cannot be changed.”

This leads to a point Marnie Bennett stresses when buying a home before it is built. “Walk through the model, understand what you are buying and what is standard in the specifications. Is hardwood standard? Carpet? The granite countertop shown in the model? Many model homes showcase a few upgrades – which items are they? Understand the floorplan and how you will utilize the space. Sales and décor staff can help you.”

Says Campanale, “You want a really nice product design, something that matches how you live, and you want quality finishes.” Price is also crucial. “Your home must also be a sound investment.” Graham agrees. “People should ensure they are receiving value for their hard-earned capital. The builder and trades should pay attention to detail. Buyers

Mattamy Homes Ottawa president

Council of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association, ties the investment to the home builder’s reputation. “Today we all want certainty to our investments and selling a home with a recognizable brand and reputation can help yield higher returns for your investment.”

Parsons takes the long view. “Treat the purchase as a long-term partnership between you – the purchaser, and your builder. Price is important, but often the satisfaction of getting the best deal is tainted by lack of service down the road. Customer satisfaction is not something that is earned quickly. It takes time to nurture.

Before you buy, ask yourself, is this the same builder you want to be dealing with two or three years from now? Ask questions of the people who have bought in the community. A builder’s

customers should be its best advertising! Don’t be afraid to knock on a few doors and get existing buyers’ recommendations. Also check the Tarion website which has all licensed builders in Ontario. You can check their track records as monitored by the warranty program itself.” Campanale says the same thing. “Ask questions. Knock on doors.”

Graham sums up, “Find your location and price, then work with builders who care, who stand behind their product, who provide exceptional service, with whom you feel a connection and can build a relationship.”

Calculate your mortgage payments interest rate

amortization period

chart figure

example: 5%

5.82

mortgage amount ÷ 1,000 (mortgage amount $125,000)

125

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home

01

05

Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000.

02

06

Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

03

07

Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04

Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice.

(Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less.

Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
