Purchasing a new home is more than having a place to live. For many homeowners, it means setting down roots and creating a lifetime of memories. For others, it’s a pathway to real estate investment and the security that comes with owning income-generating properties.
Of course, whether you are looking for your forever home, or pursuing investment opportunities, the first step is to understand the financial realities of what it will cost after considering the down payment and finding the right property. On page 14, our mortgage expert, Alisa Aragon-Lloyd, outlines ‘closing costs’, one-time expenses such as title insurance, property land/transfer taxes and appraisal fees, all of which can really add up.
Once you have all the closing costs accounted for, the next regular expense to consider is your monthly mortgage payment. If you’re new to the homebuying game, then you may wonder about the recent cut in interest rates by the Bank of Canada and how it would affect your mortgage. Turn to page 24, where industry expert, Mary-Anne DaMurchie, explains how interest rate cuts affect you, and the real estate market as a whole.

SURREY CITY CENTRE

Considered the province’s newest and emerging metropolis, Surrey City Centre is evolving into a dynamic and exciting new downtown hub.

CLOSING COSTS TO CONSIDER WHEN
BUYING A PROPERTY
ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD
Closing costs are one-time expenses associated with the purchase of a home, and they can really add up. These fees are separate and do not include mortgage insurance and the down payment, and need to be factored into your cash-on-hand budget.
Closing cost amounts are often underestimated. Generally speaking, these costs range from 1.5 per cent to four per cent of the purchase price of your home and depend on its location and type of property you are buying.
Factoring these costs into your total budget can help you narrow down an entirely affordable home and ensure future financial stability and security.
Of course, these are estimates, and the actual amount could be higher or lower, depending on the factors mentioned above, as well as if it’s a new construction home.
The following are a few closing costs to keep an eye out for:
• Property/land transfer tax: This is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price of your home, with the amount varying in each province and if you are buying it as a principal residence or to be used as a rental, if it is a re-sale home or new construction. Some cities, such as Toronto, also have a municipal land transfer tax.
• Legal fees and disbursements: You can expect to incur approximately $2,000 (plus GST/HST) on legal fees
“

about $200 or more, depending on the purchase price of the home.
• Home inspection fee: A home inspection is highly recommended as a condition of your offer to purchase, to prevent any future surprises. It can range from $500 to $800.
• Appraisal fee: An appraisal is performed to certify for the lender the resale value of the home in case you default on the mortgage. The cost is usually between $400
for the preparation and recording of official documents.
• Title insurance: Most lenders require title insurance to protect against losses in the event of a property ownership dispute. This is purchased through your lawyer/notary and is
Property and fire insurance:
Property insurance covers the cost of replacing your home and its contents and must be in place on closing day. This is paid in monthly or annual premiums. It will be mandatory for a singlefamily home and for a strata (for example, a condo or townhome).
Although your strata/ condo fees will cover the insurance for the exterior and common areas, it will not cover the contents in your unit, strata deductibles or upgrades that have been made inside your home since it was originally built.
• Property taxes adjustments: Property taxes are due on an annual basis and are calculated as a percentage of the home’s value and vary by municipality. You also may need to reimburse the previous
property owner if he/she has already paid property taxes for the full year.
• Strata/condo fees adjustments: Strata/condo fees are paid at the beginning of the month, therefore, depending on the completion date, there may be an adjustment if the current owner has paid for the entire month.
IT ALL ADDS UP
These, along with the possibility of payouts for interest adjustments, strata fee adjustments, property condition inspection, a property survey certificate, fire insurance, payout penalties, moving expenses, utilities connections, and lender and mortgage broker fee (in certain circumstances), can quickly accumulate. Being prepared allows you to save the money and reduce the impact of the final tally. Speaking to a mortgage expert to assist you in preparing for closing costs can help with a seamless transition in the purchase of your new home.

WHAT DO THE INTEREST RATE CUTS
MEAN FOR THE REAL ESTATE MARKET?
MARY-ANNE DAMERCHIE
For the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Bank of Canada on June 5 announced that it would be cutting its overnight interest rate by 0.25 per cent, bringing the policy rate down from 5.0 to 4.75 per cent. This announcement was widely
anticipated by the general public, especially by those who work within the real estate industry who have felt the negative impacts of the turbulent economy affecting their businesses, and those who are patiently waiting on the sidelines to enter the market and transact.
“ ” After a prolonged period of what seemed to be a never-ending economic strain taking a negative toll on the real estate market, this recent news has reignited hope among Canadians.
With four more Bank of Canada rate announcements scheduled for 2024, the predictions amongst economists are quite aggressive but probable in predicting an additional rate cut per announcement. Although the initial rate cut won’t necessarily boost the economy, it will certainly start to shine some positive light on the housing market as a whole.
Prior to the glimpse of hope we received earlier this month, the inflated interest rate environment created a negative snowball effect impacting those from the development space to home purchasers. Due to the increase in the cost of borrowing, the profitability of development projects has become marginal, and developers have become reluctant to launch future projects at the rate in which they did in previous years. Additionally, developers are left with an influx of unsold product on their books while purchasers are simultaneously leaving money on the table and walking away from their contractual obligations given the stringent mortgage approval guidelines.
The continued interest rate cut forecast suggests that we will start to notice some relief when it comes to household budgeting and less hindrance on small business growth and prosperity. Although we are not
likely to return to a pre-pandemic rate environment and that rates are still relatively higher now than what they have been in previous years, the data supports a downward trajectory, nonetheless.
Like many things in life, perception is the key indicator of individual actions, and when it comes to real estate, it is no different. After a prolonged period of what seemed to be a never-ending economic strain taking a negative toll on the real estate market, this recent news has reignited hope among Canadians. It has created some optimism, which will likely ramp up real estate transactions, housing initiatives, and business development, among many other activities that will assist in economic recovery and stimulus. All signs point towards fruitful and financially stimulating third and fourth quarters of 2024, along with a strong start to 2025.

7 FLOWER ARRANGING BASICS
MARK AND BEN CULLEN
“I dig, therefore I am.” We can relate to this statement as a gardener. It is the joy of digging that draws us to the gardening experience more than anything. Cutting the bounty of all that digging and planting to bring indoors this time of year is not second nature to us. We are flower-arranging rookies.
However, we sure enjoy seeing the fruits of our gardening labour displayed indoors in a deep vase full of water. Years of listening to the professionals has taught us more than a thing or two about what to cut, and when and how to display it to best advantage indoors.
So, in a nutshell, here is everything that you need to know about cutting flowers and arranging them, just as long as you are not trying to win awards:
1. THINK FRESH
When you are out there in the garden doing a tour in search of the best
flowers for cutting, keep in mind that the plants that are currently coming into bloom will provide you with the longest show of colour. In other words, if the plant has been in bloom for some time, the flowers will not stand up in a vase for very long.
2.
USE A LIMITED RANGE OF COLOUR
Say what you will, mixing up colours without regard for how they look together is hard to pull off without producing a mish-mash. Stick within a narrow range of colours when cutting flowers for a vase. If you have lots of different colours to choose from
in your garden palette, then create more than one arrangement. Think “monochromatic” – tints and shades of the same colour.
3. TAKE A LONG STEM
The most common mistake is cutting too short a stem for the flower to be used in the vase/arrangement. The heavier the flower, the longer the stem. (Mark made this mistake years ago when cutting peonies in June… the whole bunch were wasted.) Also, the larger the flower, the lower it should be placed in the arrangement.
4. GREENERY? WHAT GREENERY?
When you buy cut flowers at a florist, they always throw in some asparagus fern or leather fern or what-haveyou. No need for this stuff when you are cutting flowers from the garden. For the most part, the flowers speak very well for themselves without the addition of greenery. Many flowers have leaves that add plenty of interest on their own.
5. USE A DEEP VASE
You want your cut flowers to last as long as possible indoors, right?
The best way to do that is to use a good, deep vase and fresh, cool (not cold) water. Change the water every couple of days to prolong the life of the flowers.
6.
WHAT WOULD MOTHER NATURE DO?
It is a simple question, but the answer is not always so obvious. Take your time to observe how nature arranges flowers in a meadow or how they mature in your own yard. Take your design cues from her. They are effective and free.
7.
HAVE FUN
You are arranging flowers for the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of your gardening labour indoors.
Even if you are making a special effort to do this for expected
company, remember that you need to be satisfied with the look of it, above all.
Right now, our gardens are awash in colour from Echinacea (purple cone flower), several varieties of rudbeckia (Brown Eyed Susan) and Veronica, all of which make for great flower arranging.
One note: Daylilies, while they look great in the garden, do not perform well as cut flowers.
Give it a shot. Maybe, like us, you will find that you can do it and get a lot of satisfaction from it, even if you are a klutz.
