editor’snote

How best to select a builder?

A little extra research pays off with peace of mind

Y

ou’ve agreed that a new home is the way to go and you’re making headway, but you still have another big decision to make – choosing your home builder.

It pays to check the reputation of the builder/developer before you sign on the dotted line. You can start by finding out how long the company has been in business by asking the sales representative or visiting the company’s website.

Find out if previous purchasers are happy with their homes. Drive around an existing community built by the company and talk to anyone you run into anyone during your tour.

Naturally, you should spend some time visiting several different sales offices and model homes. Get a feel for each company and the staff employed there.

Ask a lot of questions and expect to be treated with consideration and respect.

No question is too “dumb.”

Think twice about any development where the salespeople push you to make a decision you’re not ready for, or where they are not happy to provide you with the information you request. There are certainly many other builders and salespeople out there who pride themselves on putting the customer first.

When you do find the right home and the right company, making that big decision will be a whole lot easier and enjoyable.

Now is a good time to buy Restricted supply, rising prices and other issues mean waiting is only going to cost you more

I

f you’re in the market for a new home, you may be wondering whether now is a good time to buy. Interest rates have inched up for some mortgage products, lowrise new-home sales are down, and prices continue to rise in some housing categories and are relaxing in others. All of this leads some consumers to wonder if they should buy now or wait. Wait for what, we’re not sure.

Indeed, land supply and other challenges specific to the home building industry are what’s causing lowrise new-home prices to rise – certainly not a lack of appetite among consumers. Do the math: reduced supply plus continued or growing demand equals higher prices.

However, it isn’t just market performance causing lowrise prices to climb; a key contributor – development charges – continue to increase and are becoming even more significant. These fees, by the way, are passed right on to you, the new-home buyer.

Still think it’s better to wait?

Zen living in the city

L

iving a Zen life refers to a balance of body and mind. However, where you live has a large impact on your ability to enjoy a peaceful and balanced life. Not everyone can leave the urban concrete and escape to the woods to reach a much needed level of peace and harmony. Most people want to live in the heart of the city, where all amenities are only an arm’s length away.

The key is balance. What better way to find balance than to move into a highly anticipated new development only minutes from downtown, that is surrounded by greenspace and incorporates all the lifestyle aspects one would expect in order to find peace. Citä, by Greatwise Developments, is your private escape from the hard-edged lifestyle of the city.

Citä has all the advantages of condo living nestled in the well sought-after neighbourhood of Alta Vista. Located near Playfair and Kilborn

Avenue, surrounded by parks and NCC greenspace, this beautiful development offers a private oasis of tranquil living.

Alta Vista is the new sought-after neighbourhood. Only minutes from downtown, Alta Vista offers a mix of city excitement and suburban peacefulness.

Citä is located steps from CHEO and the Ottawa Hospital General Campus, as well as a wide array of restaurants and shops.

At Citä, you will quickly forget that you are living in the city. As soon as you step into the building, you will be awed by the large, two-storey entranceway. Fashioned after a hotel lobby, residents can expect to be welcomed by a concierge. Intimate seating areas huddled around a euro-style fireplace emphasize a sleek contemporary design.

The vision for the interiors of Citä is an approachable modern style incorporating

luxury sophistication. Each space is designed to flow seamlessly to the next. The colour palette is neutral but not cold. Warm textural woods are used with polished backlit stone and sleek metal touches to set the tone.

Citä has everything you might need. Relax in the fullyequipped gym and yoga studio. You can host parties in the kitchen and formal dining room, invite friends to stay over in the guest suite, or enjoy the Canada Day fireworks from the rooftop terrace. On summer afternoons, sit back and relax by the reflective pond, take time to meditate in front of the water wall, or fire up the barbecue and enjoy alfresco dining under the stars. For your convenience, there is also a business centre to save you trips to the office.

Citä is the first condo building in the last 30 years to be built in the Alta Vista neighbourhood. And unlike any other condo in the area, this luxurious 14-storey building has an added perk – urban farming. With the increasing desire to eat local and organic foods, what better way to decrease your carbon footprint than by growing your own vegetables and herbs in your very own garden plot. The outdoor living

space is incorporated into all aspects of this building, making it the ideal choice for those who want more out of a condo than four walls.

Step out your front door and enjoy the 80 acres of trails and bike paths. Head out for a jog through the park, or in the winter throw on your cross-country skis and allow the breathtaking scenery to draw you in.

Living at Citä means partaking in all of mother nature’s wonders.

Escape the noise, the traffic, the bustle of city life, and find your inner peace in your new home at Citä. There are a wide variety of layouts, ranging from a studio or onebedroom with a den, or a two-bedroom with a family room, to the must-see penthouse suites. All units have extra-large balconies or ground floor terraces. Designer kitchens will feature distinctive choices of cabinetry, quartz or granite countertops, and sleek glass backsplash options. With prices starting from $199,900, you can’t afford not to jump on this opportunity.

Don’t miss your opportunity to own your own personal oasis only minutes from downtown. Visit citäcondo.com and register to receive VIP pricing. Be the first the choose from a wide array of layout plans.

These spectacular condos will launch Oct. 21, 2013. Come and visit the spectacular sales centre at Kilborn and Playfair and view the demo kitchens first-hand.

othing beats location, and Richcraft Group of Companies has a brand new location for urban professionals, The Bowery Condominiums and Lofts, in Centretown, one of Ottawa’s trendiest neighbourhoods.

This contemporary, 18-storey building will have the Centretown vibe reminiscent of New York City. Inspired by the postindustrial revivalist architecture of Bowery Street back when it was lined with grand theatres, soaring banks and fashionable shops, The Bowery Condominiums and Lofts is a remarkable palette of different materials, just like the Bowery of its day.

Lead architect Rod Lahey says, “Old and new textures and materials can coexist to mutual benefit.” He proves it with the sleek exterior of stone, polished plate glass, anodized curtain wall framing and stainless steel. Its light-filled suites and beautifully appointed lobby will grace the corner of Bay and Gloucester, offering a superb selection of suites and lofts.

The rooftop amenities will be some of the city’s best, with a view across the city, where you can indulge in the seduction of the spectacular pool and lounge. You can host your guests on the lounging deck, which is equipped with barbecues, Miami-inspired cabanas and separate changing areas.

What are you looking at?

The importance of the view from your condo

by Marnie Bennett

It’s Psychology 101: our surroundings affect our moods. Just as the colour of our walls can soothe or agitate us, so can the panorama from our windows.

The view from your windows is closely tied to the issue of location, but is sometimes surprisingly at odds with it. Consider this: one condo may offer an amazing location in terms of access to parks and amenities – coupled with a view of a parking lot. Another may be out-of-the-way and surrounded by warehouses – but, as the tallest building around, offers sunset views that will take your breath away.

To some extent, a great view depends on personal taste. But most of us understand the appeal of greenery and blue water, twinkling city lights, architectural landmarks and unimpeded vistas. Few of us want to wake up in the morning, open the drapes and gaze directly into a blank wall, a highway, a busy sidewalk or another person’s window.

The reality is, one building will often offer views of both types. Even in a riverside condo, it’s virtually impossible for everyone to look out over the river.

Depending on the view, prices in the same building can vary by tens of thousands of dollars. If you’ve already been condo shopping, you’ll know that units increase in price as the floors rise higher. Chalk it up to the view.

Marnie Bennett is a broker and the marketing director for Bennett Property Shop Realty, a full premium service real estate brokerage specializing in marketing and selling new and resale homes, condominiums and investment real estate. Marnie is the host of the weekly radio show the Real Estate Hour, a millionaire real estate investor and a wealth management coach. bennettpros.com

Typically, buyers of new condos purchase their homes before they’re constructed.

When you can’t tour your particular unit before purchasing, you may have trouble imagining the view, or you may forget to consider it altogether.

My advice? Examine both the builder’s 3-D models and the physical building site, up close and from a distance, to help you envision the view.

Look into plans for undeveloped land nearby to see how your view may change over the years. Consider your unit’s orientation – which rooms will get sunlight at what times of day?

Then, weigh what matters most to you against what makes the most investment sense, taking into account that a unit with a good view will nearly always get you a better return. If you decide your money is better spent on square footage, or if an unimpressive view is all you can afford, there are always ways to make the most of what you’ve got. And in my next column, I’ll let you know how to do just that!

Tips for choosing a

new-home builder You’ve made your decision – you’re

ready to buy a new home. But with literally thousands of builders of all shapes and sizes to choose from, how do you know which builder is right for you?

Choosing the right builder can be just as important as choosing your new home. When you purchase a home, you also “buy” the company that will build it for you. Their experience, skills and commitment to customer service will play a key role in determining how satisfied you are with your condo and with the whole buying experience.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) offers the following tips on how to find and select a new-home builder that will meet your needs and expectations:

To begin your search, check the Homes section of your local newspaper to find out which companies are building in your area, the types of homes they offer and the prices you can expect to pay. (Editor’s note: New Home & Condo Guide is a great place to start!) Ask friends, family members and coworkers for names of reputable builders they have dealt with.

You can also check the websites of home builder associations and warranty providers.

When you visit a builder, ask how long they have been in business, how many homes or communities they build each year and what kind of background and experience they have.

Make sure the builder belongs to an industry organization and has the licences and registrations required for your province. Ask for references, and contact them to find out if they are satisfied with the homes they bought and the service they received.

Once you have narrowed down your list, visit the builders’ models. Go through each one in detail, carefully noting down what you like and what you don’t. Take your time, and if you feel you don’t know enough about construction, 30 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | oct 19 - Nov 2, 2013

bring someone with you who does.

Read through each builder’s website and other information materials to get a clearer picture of the company and what they have to offer. If possible, request a tour of a work site to look at a community that is currently under construction.

If you’re considering buying in a new development, go on a tour of the community or take a close look at the master plans. Ask yourself if this is the type of community where you could see yourself living or raising a family for years to come.

Always bring a notebook or even a camera with you. Ask as many questions as you can think of, and write down the answers to review later. After all, you’re choosing the place your family will call “home” for the next five, 10 or perhaps many more years.

Take your time, and make sure you make the choice that’s right for you.

Prep your home for

Fall & Winter

Howard Bogach is President and CEO of Tarion Warranty Corp. His column appears monthly in New Home Guide. For more information about how Tarion helps new-home buyers, visit tarion.com or find us on Facebook at facebook.com/TarionWarrantyCorp.

by howard bogach

Autumn is upon us and that means winter isn’t far behind. As the weather begins to cool and the leaves start to fall, you should start to prepare your home for the cold winter ahead. Raking your lawn isn’t the only fall maintenance task that needs attention. In order to keep your home in good shape for the long run, and to maintain your new home warranty rights, maintenance should be performed year-round.

In the autumn months, just as we t a k e out wa r mer clothes and put away the bathing suits and sandals, our home also needs to get ready for the change in weather.

If you live in a home that’s less than seven years old, regular maintenance is also an essential part of protecting your new home warranty.

All new homes in Ontario come with a warranty that lasts seven years from the date of the first possession, guaranteed by Tarion Warranty Corp. The warranty protects homeowners from issues such as water penetration through the basement or foundation walls and defects in the electrical, plumbing and heating systems.

Your home needs year-round care and our harsh winter climate means you’ll need to take a few extra steps this time of year.

To ensure your home warranty is protected, a fall maintenance plan should include:

• Checking windows and doors for cracks around the framing, and re-caulking if you notice any cracks or separations • Clearing leaves from eavestroughs and examining downspouts for damage • Having your roof inspected to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly • Shutting off your exterior water supply and draining exterior water lines • Testing smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors • Cleaning and testing all exhaust fans • Checking your sump-pump float and discharge line and testing overall operation • Installing a protective winter cover on your air conditioning unit • Cleaning or replacing your furnace filter • Having your furnace serviced in preparation for winter • Inspecting your fireplace and chimney dampers and servicing or cleaning if necessary • Winterizing your landscape by storing outdoor furniture and covering plants Making sure your home is properly maintained will protect your statutory warranty and ensure that you can enjoy your home for many years to come.

Your home needs yearround care and our harsh winter climate means you’ll need to take a few extra steps this time of year.

Fall and winter tip If the air that circulates inside your home in the fall and winter is too dry, it can lead to problems like gaps in the flooring and cracked drywall.

The next time you’re at the hardware store, pick up a hygrometer. This inexpensive tool measures the humidity level of your home, helping you keep your interior climate at optimal humidity levels, which should be in the 30- to 40-per-cent range.

Proximity to infrastructure

and amenities more important than ever

Wayne Karl is an award-winning writer and editor with experience in real estate and business. In Fundamentally Speaking, Wayne explores the basics – such as economic fundamentals – you need to examine when buying property. He can be reached at wayne.karl@wall2wallmedia.com or follow him on Twitter at Twitter.com/WayneKarl

by wayne karl Ever notice how many builders boast their

new community is “just minutes from shopping, schools and all the amenities!”? And that “Everything you need is “right at your doorstep!”?

Indeed, proximity and access to a variety of amenities and essentials – from transit to health care to schools to shopping to recreation – are critical determining factors for builders and buyers alike, for lifestyle and comfort while living there, as well as resale potential down the road.

It’s an important topic we’ve written about before in Fundamentally Speaking and elsewhere in New Home & Condo Guide.

It’s also a topic home building associations across the country are paying close attention to, as development charges and other fees rise to prohibitively high levels. Consider, for example, development charges imposed by local and regional municipalities can reach more than $60,000 per home – costs that are passed directly on to new-home buyers – before a shovel even hits the ground.

The latest federal budget provides some hope in this regard, in that it contains measures to increase support for national infrastructure.

Says Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) President Deep Shergill: “It’s an opportunity to restore fiscal integrity at the municipal level and fairness for younger generations. At present, many municipalities are financing community infrastructure by transferring the costs into the mortgages of new-home buyers, amounting to more than $5 billion a year.”

Municipalities across Canada are lobbying Ottawa to make sure they get their share of available funds to address road and transit needs.

Faced with such infrastructure and funding challenges, municipalities typically are also considering other options – including new taxes, road tolls and other fees – to help pay for what’s needed.

For homeowners and prospective new-home buyers, then, it is clear that proximity to existing infrastructure 32 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | oct 19 - Nov 2, 2013

and amenities is becoming more important than ever.

With continuing immigration, general growth and construction expansion – all happening at a quicker pace than infrastructure improvements – our highways and transit systems will all be tested until everything catches up.

As you’re out there shopping for your new home, look around to see how far you are from the nearest highway or rapid transit system that affords you a reasonable commute; and how close you are to health care, schools, shopping and recreation. These communities will be at a premium, now and in future.

Vampire Diaries?

I can’t imagine doing anything else. If you have this much access to the public, then it’s your social responsibility to take the information you have with products and relationships you have and allow that information to be free flowing. And if you are activated and empowered by this information, share it – that is how things get done. At the end of the day, it’s about consumer education, public education – it's the only way information travels and we have changed the game with social media and all the free flowing information that is available.

These LEDs will be in every socket on the Vampire Diaries set and we have 365,000 sq. ft. of space, which is massive. This company is a game changer in the world of lighting, which ultimately bleeds into a multitude of facets of our life – saving energy, improving air quality and public health. I want to be a part of that and share that with everyone.

What are your goals for this "game changing" light bulb?

Cree Inc., leaders in energy-efficient LED lighting, has teamed up with eco-crusader and TV heartthrob Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries to spread the word about Green living and how he plans to change the world, one light bulb at a time. We caught up with Ian during his recent visit to Toronto.

It’s my goal that every single school in North America will have these LED bulbs. It's about getting out there and explaining that this company exists and letting people know they can cut their energy consumption and save money. For instance, the light bulbs that are around, where do they go? We just throw them away, but where is away? There is no away. It ends up in landfills – which ends up in our water supply and elsewhere.

Cree Inc. has eliminated the toxic element and has provided a consumerbased product that you can feel good about, save money and also reduce the impact on our resource pool.

What do you do to spread the word?

I tweet like a maniac and share with my fans the information that I have and I find, hopefully reaching all different kinds of people.

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

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.

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.

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.
