The risks can be rewarding

SuSan Legge Editor-in-chiEf new Home + Condo Guide Email: susan.legge@nexthome.ca twittEr: @SusanLegge

A few weeks back, the team at New Home + Condo Guide was out in full force at the annual BILD Awards. The room was buzzing with well over 1,200 people, and we had a great time honouring some of the most amazing achievements in architecture, design, and sales and marketing that I’ve seen in years. Having attended many of these awards in the past, one thing never ceases to amaze me — the risks these people take to make their visions and dreams a reality. If you aspire to own a new home or condo, and truly want to move forward with the idea of homeownership, ask yourself what is holding you back. Yes, I know money is often the biggest obstacle, so what needs to change in your life in order for you to move your bank account in the right direction? I reflected upon how my own path to homeownership zigzagged. I started out as renter and then took the leap into real estate by purchasing the most dilapidated home I could afford with my new hubby. It just so happened to be on the same street where Canadian television and radio personality Marilyn Denis lived — a terrific neighbourhood, lucky for us. After several years of renovating, we rented out the home and moved in with my parents to save some more money. Before I knew it, the property’s value rose. We were not only able to purchase a nicer home in a community we loved, we started investing in real estate, too. Regardless of life’s circumstances, career paths, or past accomplishments, we can never see more than one step ahead. There’s no way I could have planned it all out — nobody, myself included, would have predicted I’d be editing a magazine called New Home + Condo Guide, teaching journalism part-time, and volunteering at my local newspaper in my favourite neighbourhood, yet, here I am. Check out the accomplishments of the winners of the BILD Awards on page 34. I think you’ll find them impressive and inspirational. We hope you enjoy this issue. Be sure to write to us and let us know what you think.

Provincial Housing supply action Plan good news for tHe gtA

Dave Wilkes

The Housing Supply Action Plan (Plan) announced by the Government of Ontario on May 2 represents the first major step by any provincial government to address the supply challenges facing the housing market and their effects on affordability. The actions announced recognize that the “tax and restrict” approaches taken by previous and other levels of governments have simply fuelled the generational challenge faced by many in the Greater 12 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

Toronto Area (GTA) and other large Canadian cities. Layers of bureaucracy, outdated zoning, and complex policies and procedures have created structural barriers to the efficient operation of the housing market that have resulted in a generational shortfall of housing. These barriers delay development of new homes, add costs and have contributed to the run-up in housing costs experienced over the last decade. On average it now takes 10 years to build a typical high-rise project and 11 years to complete a lowrise project in the GTA. It is estimated that since 2006 the region fell short approximately 98,000 units versus forecasts, and is now

falling behind by nearly 10,000 additional units per year. In addition, demand has increased as the GTA has become one of the fastest growing regions in North America with an estimated 115,000 new residents arriving every year. The population of the GTA is set to grow by 40 per cent or an estimated 9.7 million people by 2041. Residents in the area looking to buy their first homes and renters will be impacted the most. Ontario’s new Housing Supply Action Plan takes meaningful steps to try to balance the housing market through supply and speed. First, it has recognized that the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) is not working for anyone, …continued on page 14

as evidenced by the nearly 1,000 cases and nearly 100,000 housing units that are stuck waiting for adjudication. Clarifying rules and increasing resources for the tribunal and being able to proceed with even 50 per cent of the units currently before the tribunal will go a long way to address the existing housing shortfall. Second, the Plan acknowledges that it takes far too long to get approvals and looks to reduce duplication, cut red tape and speed up the development approval process. This will enable the industry to unlock housing supply and bring new product to market to meet demand. At the same time the Plan acknowledges that speed cannot come at the expense of other things that matter and explicitly recognizes the importance of the Greenbelt, cultural heritage assets and key 14 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

employment and agricultural lands. Third, the Plan adjusts provincial policy to encourage a mix of homes and to make it easier and faster to build more housing near transit. This will encourage more of the missing middle type housing (townhomes, stacked townhomes and mid-rise) so sorely needed in the GTA. Lastly, the proposed changes also acknowledge the cumulative effect that taxes, fees and charges have on housing affordability. For market housing, providing the ability to lock in development charges early in the process increases predictability for the industry and consumers. Deferring development charges until occupancy provides greater incentive to build rental units and special provisions for social and not-for-profit housing will also lower the upfront cost of building. The beneficiaries of these

changes are the people and businesses of Ontario. The benefits for the average resident include having a greater choice in housing at the right price for them and their children. A healthy market that ensures that housing will not be a barrier to attracting and retaining the right talent will benefit businesses looking to grow.

16 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

Bijou on Bloor will be a shining residential jewel on Bloor Street WeSt Bloor West Village is a gem of a neighbourhood – and now there’s a residential jewel of a condo project coming to this desirable area. Plaza’s Bijou on Bloor will be a 12-storey boutique building in the heart of the established Bloor West area, renowned for its excellent schools, popular retail shopping district, and vibrant food scene. Beautiful High Park is just a short walk away. This west end urban neighbourhood is characterized by wide, tree-lined streets and older homes, many with welcoming front porches. What has been lacking in the area are housing

choices that bridge the gap between low-rise homes and high-rise suites– until now. Bijou on Bloor will fill that niche, offering intimate, upscale mid-rise living just steps from the subway. The contemporary, stylish building has been designed by Quadrangle Architects to complement the surrounding residential neighbourhood. “Bijou will be a little jewellery box on Bloor West, the fashion district of Canada,” says Scott McLellan, Plaza Senior Vice President. “It’s an existing vibrant neighbourhood but close to the downtown core. It’s really a unique place.”

The Plaza team worked closely in collaboration with the Bloor West community and the city, and the result is an intimate building that honours the integrity of the neighbourhood. Each aspect of Bijou on Bloor has been thoughtfully planned with quality at the forefront. Its interiors and amenities are modelled after five-star hotels. Many suites have private terraces and views to the north which will look out over the green canopy of surrounding streets and the Humber River Valley. South-facing views take in Lake Ontario and the CN Tower. nexthome.ca 17

Mature homeowners who currently live in the area will have a downsizing option without having to leave their beloved neighbourhood. It’s also an attractive choice for young professionals, whether new to the area or who grew up there and love Bloor West Village. Plaza met with people living in the neighbourhood who are thinking of downsizing to hear what they wanted and the amenities have been planned to reflect their wants. The building will boast an indoor pool adjoining a second-floor indooroutdoor terrace overlooking the neighbourhood. Residents will also enjoy use of a fully equipped fitness centre, and can enjoy socializing or entertaining in the lounge with bar or private dining room. A 24-hour concierge will attend to their needs and there’ll 18 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

be no waiting to get to your suite with three high-speed elevators. Suites are large, averaging 900 to 1,000 square feet with prices starting in the $600,000s. The smaller suites include Miele appliances, while the larger units, priced just under $3 million, are equipped with Wolf ranges and SubZero refrigerators. Plaza is one of the GTA’s most experienced residential construction and development companies, with more than 10,000 suites completed or under construction since its inception in 1982. The company is renowned for its innovations in the condominium market, the quality of construction and superior customer service. In 2018, Plaza was named High-Rise builder of the Year at Tarion’s annual Homeowners’ Choice Awards for excellence in customer service.

WHY You NEED A SURVEY JAYsoN scHWArz

The sun glistens like a million diamonds, the July sky is filled with fluffy clouds and water-skiers cut a frothy wake on the blue lake water. Cottage life at its best. But how do you get there without all of the hidden dangers that exist in buying your dream? Buying a cottage or country home is different in many ways from buying a house or a condo in the city. There are different kinds of ownership and more importantly, there is a huge difference in title and things that need to be checked 20 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

in cottage country. This article will focus on one part of buying a simple freehold cottage or home somewhere in Ontario on a lake. If you have identified a cottage you want, and the agent has done up the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Offer”) and you are ready to sign . . . WAIT!!!!!!! The first question to be asked before you sign anything is whether there is a current survey, an existing survey or if the vendor should supply one. This is a must when buying outside the city. The reason is that cottage and country lots are often irregular and may have uncertain boundaries. They may have easements, shore road allowances and road allowances running through them. The cottage may have been built too

close to the water or a lot line or maybe access is only available through a neighbour’s property. All of these things can lead to danger, disappointment or disaster. We recommend to all of our clients that if a survey is not available and the vendor doesn’t cooperate, then the purchaser must have the right to have a survey done at his or her expense and has a right to terminate the transaction if the survey discloses a matter that, in the purchaser’s unfettered discretion, detracts from their enjoyment of the property. The survey will disclose many of the matters that can be of concern. As an example, a friend recently purchased a cottage and in the heat of the moment, …continued on page 22

waived the survey clause, but still had the right to do one. His survey disclosed that a ‘Road Allowance’ cut through the middle of the property and in fact, bisected the original cottage built in 1932. A Road Allowance is a 66-ft.-wide strip that generally runs from a township road through private property to the lake and, if needed, could be developed by the local municipality to provide access for the public to the lake. In this case, there were two problems, the first being the possibility of having a road someday being built, and the second that my friend did not own the whole building and could not fix it up. In this case, having a good lawyer and an understanding municipality paid off and the township offered to lease the area around the building for 99 years. Almost every lake in Ontario 22 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

has a deeded parcel that belongs to the local municipality running along the shoreline. This is called the ‘Shore Road Allowance’. Many years ago, this was put into place to allow public access to the water for roads, lumbering and public use of all kinds. As development has evolved and private individuals have acquired and built on the property abutting the Shore Road Allowance, it has become the practice of the municipalities to sell the Shore Road Allowance to the adjacent owner. The survey will demonstrate where it is and who owns it. The next issue is to establish the boundary lines. Cottage properties are often ill defined, and if you have plans to demolish, rebuild, remodel, add or subtract buildings on the land you are buying, this is critical. Quite often, access is an issue either for you to get into your home because it may be on

a private road (who owns it?) or others may have the right to drive over your property, which can be quite disturbing. So there it is! The first thing to consider, GET THAT SURVEY! It is not something to be overlooked. Buying a cottage or country home should be an enjoyable experience. Please find a lawyer who understands rural property and get good legal advice BEFORE you firm up that offer.

ADVICE | stAt ChAt

want market info? Who do you trust? Ben Myers

Whenever a real estate agent, builder or developer references the state of the Toronto housing market in a media article, a video, or on a website, and says anything other than the market is overbuilt, oversupplied, overvalued or on the brink of collapse, one of the first comments made online is that this person should not be trusted, that you shouldn’t take advice from someone that makes money in the real estate business. By this same logic, I guess I shouldn’t take tips on fire safety from a fireman because he makes his money in that industry, fewer 24 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

fires might mean he’d lose his job. Why does a dentist tell you to floss, wouldn’t he make more money if you don’t? Why listen to any financial advisor about investing, don’t they get paid more commission when you invest more? Realtors are biased too, always telling you to buy or the market is performing well. I honestly feel sorry for these people. It must be difficult to trust anyone if you think everyone is out to swindle you, that everyone will lie, manipulate or bend the truth to separate you from your money. I choose to believe that people’s judgments are not solely based on their own financial gain. I too have been accused of being biased, if the market is strong, you’ll get more consulting assignments! People that know me well,

know that I’d much rather be right than rich. My commentary is my opinion, I don’t want people to have the satisfaction of waiving my incorrect predictions in my face. I got some sideways looks on a real estate panel that I was on in early 2017 when I warned developers to be very careful in buying low-density land, as the market was frothy. That turned out to be sage advice, as the market for new single-family homes slumped badly in 2018. However, according to a BILD press release on GTA new home activity, March 2019 transactions were “the fifth month in a row that new singlefamily home sales have increased year-over-year.” If you want to know what’s happening in the residential …continued on page 26

housing market, go to the experts, go to the people that study the market every day, go to the folks that pour over the Toronto Real Estate Board data daily when looking for suites for their clients, go to people in the business that are having the conversations with buyers, mortgage brokers, construction lenders, other sales agents, developers, insurers. It’s great to see people interested in real estate economics and market data in specific locations, but better to go to someone with experience and actual data, as opposed to a rumour your neighbour heard. Seek out several opinions, don’t just look for data and commentary that support your ‘priors’. Someone that doesn’t live in the Greater Toronto Area is not going to be an expert on what’s happening in our real estate market. The thing that people really need to understand is that there are opportunities to buy when the market is booming and there are opportunities to buy when the 26 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

market is flat. A good realtor can help you find the perfect place for you to live or help identify an undervalued property for investment purposes in both instances. New home sales may be slower in 2019 than in years past, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s a bad time to buy, it might be due to a lack of new project launches, or simply a return to a more normalized market. If the sales are a little bit soft, a good realtor might help you score some free upgrades to get the deal done! If you’re renting and looking for a new place, just a friendly reminder: according to data from Rentals.ca, the average rent increased in April over March in Toronto for basement apartments, rental apartments, condo apartments, townhouses and single-family homes. Unfortunately, this market is going get you one way or the other. If you are looking for a good realtor with experience, I can recommend a few: Ralph Fox of Fox Marin Associates, Andrew La Fleur of Re/Max Condos Plus Corporation, Mark Savel of Sage

Real Estate Ltd, Ara Mamourian of Spring Realty, Amit Bhandri of Talk Condo fame, or Brian Persaud of Re/Max Realtron. I hope that you don’t decide if the Toronto market is up or down by who said it, attack the message, not the messenger. I hope you educate yourself on what is happening in the market, in addition to leaning on experts like myself and your local realtor. With that combined knowledge, you’ll always be prepared to make an informed decision. Good luck.

GO WITH THE FLow wHEN IT CoMES To BUYING A NEW CONDO

BarBara LawLor

If you are keeping up with newhome real estate media and feel a bit confused as to when is the optimum time to buy a new condo, keep in mind that this is a cyclical industry. Sales fluctuate, as do prices and availability. One of the best ways to look at a condominium, or any new-home purchase, is with a long-term outcome in mind. Historically, real estate has proven to be an 28 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

excellent investment. In a hot market, your return-on-investment may begin to happen before you even move in; in a softer market, it may take longer. The point is that new condos are always a wise choice, especially in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. There are other ways to look at timing as well – your life circumstances and when in the selling cycle a community is. You may be a first-time buyer, or perhaps you are planning on retiring in a few years. If you purchase a condo suite from plans, you will enjoy the most choice of suites, floors and views. Getting in early also means you

have time (up to three to six years) to plan for your move and save money toward your purchase. You can spend time paring down your possessions, checking out multi-purpose furniture and thinking about décor so you can make the most of your colour selection appointment. Being able to choose features and finishes is a wonderful perk of buying early. Plus, builders often include grand opening specials that can save you thousands. Buying early also means you may earn equity before your occupancy date. You may, however, opt to wait until a condo has been for sale …continued on page 30

for a while, in order to see how well it is being accepted by the buying public. At Baker Real Estate Incorporated, we usually see a jump in sales when construction starts on a building. For many, this peace-of-mind is priceless, because it means the builder has secured enough sales to obtain financing and start building. There are also buyers out there who prefer to purchase late in a condominium’s sales process, when there are built suites available for quick move-ins. Features and finishes are already installed, but even the standards 30 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

today result in beautiful, luxurious surroundings. On a financial note, builders sometimes offer special incentives on the final few suites, which is incredibly attractive. In addition, buying late in the selling cycle means you get to enjoy the condominium lifestyle immediately with outstanding amenities right in your building. Outstanding architecture, amazing amenities, fantastic features and finishes – all of this can be yours in any of a number of convenient locations close to public transportation, shopping, entertainment venues and more. You can find something

wonderful to accommodate every lifestyle, design preference and pocketbook. You can also select from a variety of potential closing dates that will accommodate your life circumstances. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it is always a good time to GO CONDO!

New single-family home sales coNtiNue to pick up in march The GTA new-home market continued to show some encouraging signs in March, the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) announced. Total new home sales, with 2,314 new homes sold, were up 20 per cent from last year, though still 36 per cent below the 10-year average, according to Altus Group, BILD’s official source for new home market intelligence. There were 886 new singlefamily homes sold in March, including detached, linked and semi-detached houses and townhouses, up from last March’s low of 295, but still 38 per cent below the 10-year average. This is the fifth month in a row that new single-family home sales have increased year-over-year. Sales of new condominium apartments in low, medium and high-rise buildings, stacked

MArCH 2019

townhouses and loft units, with 1,428 units sold, were down 13 per cent from March 2018 and 34 per cent below the 10-year average. “The desire to own a new single-family home never went away, but many would-be buyers have been taking a wait-andsee approach in the past two years,” said Patricia Arsenault, Altus Group’s Executive Vice President, Data Solutions. “While the affordability of single-family homes in general remains a challenge, the broader range of product at more favourable price points that is starting to emerge has attracted some of these buyers into the market.” The benchmark prices of both single-family homes and condominium apartments moderated slightly compared to the previous month. The

COndOMiniUM APArTMenTS

benchmark price of new singlefamily homes was $1,116,640, down 7.6 per cent over the last 12 months, while the benchmark price of new condominium apartments was $780,839, up 5.1 per cent over the last 12 months. “Despite the recent slight moderation in new home prices, affordability is an issue for many people in the GTA, as we have learned from our Building Answers campaign, which encourages residents to ask questions about development,” said David Wilkes, BILD President & CEO. “Affordability will continue to be a challenge until structural remedies are introduced to fix the GTA’s housing supply shortage. It is clear that we all— industry, government and public— need to look for ways to build more housing faster and to mitigate unnecessary delays and costs on new housing.”

Inside Out INSPIRATION |

style file PrinciPal designer at Kalu interiors, Phyllis lui shares her toP tiPs for creating an enviable exterior sPace.

When it comes to designing your home’s outdoor living space, all too often it becomes a second thought, if considered at all. Big mistake! By applying the right focus and some tried-andtrue design principles, it’s possible to add fabulous and functional living space to your home. As the owner and designer behind this sun-soaked space, I will say that the result didn’t come by chance. I approached the design with my eye on three key points: the view, the style and the function. Here’s how my vision came to life.

this project scored finalist status at the homebuilders association vancouver (havan) ovation awards, in the best custom home $1 Million to under $2 Million category.

the view

My home is fortunate enough to have stunning natural views, so maximizing vistas of the mountains and water was a must. I did this by doubling my outdoor living area with a two-level design. The lower level captures the mountains, while the upper level overlooks the shimmering water. The upper deck features comfortable lounge seating and a fire pit, encircled in a barely there, frameless glass railing that offers unobstructed views and a clean, modern aesthetic.

the style

Continuity is key in achieving a fluid aesthetic. I opted for a fabulous Palm Springs-inspired palette. Characterized by an uninterrupted scheme of cream, coral and royal blue, complemented by soft fabrics and finishes. Through the kitchen and family room, past the stacking glass doors and out onto the mainfloor patio, you get a distinct sense that the spaces were designed in sync. The uninterrupted indooroutdoor experience draws some traditional “interior” elements outside, such as a rug underfoot, beautiful quality furnishings, accessories and art to complete the space. The result is a fun and modern extension of my indoors. 44 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

A well-designed, well-planned alfresco entertaining area shouldn’t be limited to those fleeting summer months. I kept this idea in mind throughout the design process. So, how did I create that elusive eternal summer on my patio? I incorporated wood soffits and pavers layered with rugs to visually heat up this otherwise contemporary exterior. But a warm look can only go so far. To tackle the cool temperatures, integrated heaters mounted overhead allow for year-round use of this covered dining lounging area, complete with an oversized barbecue. To top it off, the hot tub just outside the master bedroom serves its purpose during the coldest months.

favourite find Have you discovered artificial turf? If you haven’t yet, you will soon. This trending evergreen landscaping option was an ideal choice for my rooftop patio, equally awesome for its lush look and minimal required maintenance.

bathroom design

MAKE A by CynthiA SodA

in your SMAll Good things come in small packages – babies, puppies, kittens, stud earrings – and bathrooms. Don’t let the size of a room fool you into thinking there’s no way to make it function any better than it does. Eco-conscious living is becoming more prevalent, which means many homeowners have smaller spaces and homes versus large mansion-style houses, and a functional design doesn’t discriminate by size. A small space doesn’t mean you have to downsize your collection of hair care products, hairdryers, curling irons and other bathroom necessities. Just make sure you incorporate clever storage solutions in your small space. Choosing full cabinetry under the sink (even if it’s narrow) amps up the storage possibilities, instead of a pedestal sink. Open wood or glass shelves above the toilet can stylishly and neatly hold frequently used items and keep them at the ready. I’m a fan of high contrast and a firm believer that all spaces can benefit in some way from the use of colour, texture and pattern. Add interest through patterns on the floor or use polished or semipolished large-scale tiles in varying tones or textures to bring in the glam, add personality and make the space feel larger. Contrast polished elements with wood tones or intensely coloured vanities to express your personality. If you want a more monochromatic aesthetic, consider using various textures to add visual interest. Making it pretty is only half the battle, and you may want to consider hiring a professional to tackle that small space. The smaller the space, the more impact per sq. ft. (or inch) is required to get the biggest bang for your buck. Functional style is the name of the game to pack the biggest design punch and get the most out of your small space. 48 New Home + Condo Guide | May 25–June 8, 2019

Freehold means permanent and absolute tenure of land or property with freedom of full use and control of the land and buildings on it, subject to any rights of the Crown, local land-use bylaws and any other restrictions in place at the time of purchase

Adjustable-rate and fixed rate mortgages There are generally two types of conventional mortgages – a fixed-rate and an adjustablerate mortgage. An adjustablerate mortgage means the interest rate can change over the term of the loan. A fixedrated mortgage simply means that the interest rate stays the same through the entire term of the mortgage and is “locked in”.

Assessed value

In addition to the actual price of a home, there are also closing costs, which will typically make up about two to five percent of the purchase price, not including the down payment. Examples of closings costs include the mortgage processing costs, title insurance, and excise tax, and legal fees.

Freehold ownership

This is how much a home is worth according to a public tax assessor who makes this determination in order to figure out how much city or state tax the owner owes.

Closing

Condo ownership

Condominium ownership is real estate that is independently owned and sellable, but the owners of the individual units also collectively own the common areas, amenities and utilities which are managed collectively by the owners as outlined in the Ontario Condominium Act.

Gross debt service ratio The percentage of your gross monthly income that housingrelated payments (mortgage, property taxes and heating) eats up. Depending on your situation, to qualify for a mortgage, your GDSR should be 39 per cent (or less) of your gross monthly income.

Closing refers to the meeting that takes place where the sale of the property is finalized. At the closing, buyers and sellers sign the final documents, and the buyer makes the down payment and pays closing costs. It is advisable to have a lawyer facilitate closing.

Debt to service ratio

Amortization

This process combines the interest and principal together in an established schedule of payment installments, rather than simply paying off interest at the start, which helps build home equity early on.

Closing costs

REAL ESTATE GLOSSARY

This amount shows the ratio of your household’s debt payments to gross household income. Banks look at this when assessing how much money to loan you.
