Better warranty protection

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

We’ve packed this issue with expert advice, details on the newest developments and industry events, including the winners of Tarion’s Homeowners’ Choice Awards as chosen by you, the consumer. Tarion, which is the warranty program that backs your new-home purchase in Ontario, is poised to transform over the next six months according to details released in the provincial budget. The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services has proposed that Tarion initiate the following enhancements: • Updating the Ontario Builder Directory to include information about developers with a history of condominium project cancellations • Developing options to require developers to post information about their condominium development projects on their websites (e.g., information about outstanding approvals or other matters that could cause a project to get cancelled) • Working with the Condominium Authority of Ontario to educate prospective buyers about the condominium purchase process • Improving information collection on new-home construction projects. According to a news release, Tarion has been tasked to change its addenda to agreements of purchase and sale for condominium buyers within the next 12 months “to enhance disclosures for consumers about the risks of purchasing pre-construction condominiums.” This would include matters that could cause a project to get cancelled, such as outstanding approvals, project financing or restrictive covenants on title, which is good news for you. We always suggest researching the homebuilder and developers you’re considering. Whether you’re buying new or a resale property, there are always risks involved. We recommend that you visit a few of the projects completed by a builder and talk to people who purchased a home or condo from them directly. As always, we hope you enjoy this issue.

Tarion awards

OntariO’s toprated builders earn 2019 Homeowners’ CHoiCe awards Recipients recognized for customer service excellence by homebuyers Tarion, the not-for-profit private corporation that administers the Ontario New Home Warranties Act, just announced its annual Homeowners’ Choice Awards for outstanding builders who received the highest ratings from homebuyers across the province. These are the only awards that focus solely on customer service and are based on feedback from homeowners. The recipients of the 2019 Homeowners’ Choice Awards are: • Brookfield Residential – High-Rise Category • Hayhoe Homes – Large Volume Category • Timberland Homes – Medium Volume Category • Chris King and Sons Construction Ltd. – Small Volume Category In 2017, Tarion introduced a new honour – the Ernest Assaly Award – for an Ontario builder who demonstrates a commitment to building quality and innovation, customer service and community involvement. Similar to a lifetime achievement award, a builder can only receive this recognition once. The recipient of the 2019 Ernest Assaly Award is The Daniels Corporation. “A new home is a place to make memories,” says Tarion President and CEO Howard Bogach. “And a builder has a big role in determining whether a homeowner’s first memories are positive ones. Thanks to their 12 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

The recipient of the 2019 Ernest Assaly Award is The Daniels Corporation.

exemplary customer service, this year’s award recipients not only met – but exceeded – expectations and by so doing set an example for others to follow.” The Homeowners’ Choice Awards are presented annually based on the results of surveys completed by new-home buyers from across the province. In 2018, Tarion polled 54,518 new home buyers asking them about their builder’s performance before, during and after they moved into their new home. More than 11,376 homeowners responded, and their feedback determined the recipients for outstanding customer service in the four categories. Since 1976, the provincial new home warranty program has registered close to two million homes and paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in warranty claims. The Ernest Assaly Award recognizes the highest level

of excellence in Ontario home building while honouring the legacy of Ernest Assaly, a highly respected leader in the residential building industry who was Tarion’s first Chair. Only a select number of Ontario builders met the rigorous criteria required to even receive an invitation to make a submission. The recipient of the Ernest Assaly Award is determined by Tarion’s Board of Directors. “A well-built home backed by excellent customer service equals a satisfied homeowner,” said Bogach. “Through Tarion’s awards program, these happy homeowners are able to recognize their builders for going the extra mile and this helps build confidence in the new home building industry as a whole. We congratulate this year’s recipients for their success in creating a positive home-buying experience that their homeowners are happy to share.”

ADVICE | LEgALLy spEAkIng

The Board of direcTors and its governance by Jacqueline Moneta JD with assistance from Jayson Schwarz LLM

The board of directors sit at the heart of a condominium corporation and oversee its business affairs. As they are members of the condominium corporation, it’s important that owners hold the board accountable for its decisions. ELECTIng THE BOARD OF DIRECTORs

Owners hold supervisory power over the board of directors through elections. Board members are elected at the Annual General Meeting (the AGM). If an owner wants to run for a position on the board, they should notify the board ahead of the AGM. The owner’s name will then be included in the AGM package sent out to residents before the meeting. At the meeting, candidates will introduce themselves prior to the vote of residents. A board must have at least three directors, since odd numbers help prevent issues during board votes. The number of directors is specified in the condo declarations. Each board member’s term can be up to three years, but terms are set typically so that they do not all expire at once.

14 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

Is THIs TRAInIng AVAILABLE FOR COnDOMInIUM BOARD MEMBERs? Directors elected or appointed on or after November 1, 2017 are required to take online training offered by the Condominium Authority of Ontario. Directors must uphold a standard of care. This means they must perform duties with care, diligence and skill. If a board member is not doing their job or is acting inappropriately, they can be removed. To have a director removed, a meeting of owners must be called for the purpose. In order to remove the director, a majority of all owners must vote in favour of removal, either in person or by proxy. If the owners vote to remove a director, the owners may elect any person qualified to be a member of the board to serve the remaining term of the director who has been removed, according to the condo corporation’s by-laws dealing with the election of directors.

WHAT ARE THE ROLEs AnD REspOnsIBILITIEs OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORs?

Your board of directors meets regularly to conduct condominium business. Meetings typically occur once a month. The board of directors must ensure the corporation is run in compliance with the Condominium Act. Some of a director’s responsibilities include: • tracking the condominium’s financial performance • ensuring all required maintenance and repairs are carried out • updating the reserve fund study every three years • proposing changes to condominium by-laws • enacting rules to promote the safety, security and welfare of all owners • providing regular communication with the other owners

A director will immediately be disqualified from acting if a lien is registered against their unit or they become bankrupt. The condominium corporation’s by-laws may also include additional conditions for qualification and/or disqualification of directors. While the board of directors holds great power within the condominium corporation, owners are the check and balance. It’s important to attend AGMs, vote for board members and run for positions to ensure your home is well maintained for years to come. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing but thinking of a topic to address. So, help me. Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. I will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIOns

To be a director, there are three qualifications. You must: • be at least 18 years of age • not be bankrupt • be capable of managing property

“Migration,” depicting birds in flight, forms a gateway over Duke of York Boulevard in Mississauga

working together to provide public art dave Wilkes

As development in our region intensifies, public art is flourishing in our communities. Besides beautifying the places where we live and work, these sculptures, murals and LED installations create a sense of community, evoke civic pride and invite tourism. Many of these works are the result of creative partnerships between our industry, municipalities and artists. In the City of Toronto, a large 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

proportion of public art is funded through the Percent for Public Art Program, which has developers contribute one per cent of the gross construction cost of projects to public art. In return, the City may allow them to increase the height of a building or build a denser development, an exchange permitted by Section 37 of the Ontario Planning Act. Depending on the size of the contribution, it may be used to commission an art installation on site, pooled in the City’s Public Art Reserve Fund, or a combination of the two options. In the last five years alone, the program has seen the completion

of approximately $25 million in public art, with additional funding secured that has not yet been spent. Since its inception, the Percent for Public Art Program has enriched Toronto with more than 150 pieces of public art. Many are part of condominium developments and enjoyed by residents and passersby alike. An example is a work titled We Are All Animals, in a public plaza in front of a condo near High Park. The installation, commissioned by the developer from a Torontobased art studio, consists of a long bronze bench, a trio of coyote sculptures and an LED screen …continued on page 22

showing an ever-changing digital rendering of High Park’s landscape. Another remarkable piece of art that people can enjoy as a result of collaboration between industry and the City is Guard with Balloon Dog, a stencil attributed to the anonymous graffiti artist Banksy, which is on display in the PATH system near 1 York Street. It was found on the wall of a former office building in the Harbourfront area. Before the building was demolished, the developer salvaged the panels, had them professionally restored and eventually had them installed, along with a commissioned companion piece, as a public art contribution accompanying its major mixed-use project in the area. Other municipalities in the GTA are also building their public art collections thanks to partnerships with our industry, despite the fact that public art contributions are voluntary.

example, in Mississauga, a two-part metal and glass sculpture called “Migration,” depicting birds in flight, forms a gateway over Duke of York Boulevard where it meets Burnhamthorpe Road. The work was jointly funded by developers behind two nearby condo projects and the City of Mississauga. And in Markham, kids and kids at heart can ride a colourful piece of public art, a merry-goround featuring characters that evoke Canada, such as a beaver, a Mountie, a moose and a salmon. The carousel, made by Canadianborn California-based artist Patrick Amiot, is called Pride of Canada, and was made out of repurposed materials collected across the country. It is the centrepiece of an extensive public art initiative that is being spearheaded by the developer behind the major mixeduse development in downtown Markham. The eclectic public art collection includes street art photography in an underground

parking garage and a floral light sculpture over the entrance of a shopping centre. I could fill several more columns with examples of art that we all get to appreciate because of innovative partnerships between our industry and municipalities. As our region continues to grow, we will need more of this kind of collaboration to create thriving complete communities where people can live, work and enjoy their leisure time.

Why Brand neW and newly built condo prices are different

Ben Myers

I gave a presentation to a group of potential real estate buyers in early April, and I discussed how the rate of growth for new condominium apartments has finally started to calm down after a multi-year run-up. Unsold new condo prices jumped 40 per cent in 2017 and 15 per cent in 2018. The next speaker at the event after me was developer Brad 24 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

Lamb of Lamb Development Corporation, he talked about the rise in municipal development charges and construction costs. Lamb told the audience when he started his Harlowe condominium in 2015, he had hard construction costs of $190 per-square-foot (psf), when he started his East 55 project in 2017, construction costs were $275 psf, and now on the precipice of starting his new Woodsworth project (which has no parking), construction costs are $315 psf — over 65 per cent more than four years ago! Less than a week later, I attended an event called “Dive in

with Developers” hosted by PSR Brokerage that included several of the GTA’s top developers. Stephen Price, the President and CEO of Graywood Developments remarked that when they are setting the unit prices for a new development, they have to price it against a margin, they have to push values up to make the minimum profit required to get bank financing. The high level of current pricing reflects the much higher costs, not greedy developers. At that same event, Robert Cooper, the President and CEO …continued on page 26

of Alterra Group of Companies noted that competition for land is fierce, and they have no choice but to pay more for land than current unit sales prices would suggest. He said he has to plug his nose and buy, or he’d have no product to sell. Some people understand that costs are putting upward pressure on new condo prices, and that the 125,000 net population growth in the Toronto CMA last year has brought a lot more housing demand, but what they don’t get is why you’d buy new at a higher price than a recently completed new condo project. I’ll give you an example —in the Toronto’s downtown east, a project called Grid was completed and registered in 2019 — resale units have traded in that building for about $975 psf. In March, The Garden District Condominiums just to the south of Grid released 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

units at about $1,060 psf. The problem with this comparison is you’re comparing apples to oranges. The Garden District isn’t occupying until 2023, so you’re putting down 20 per cent now for the right to close on a unit in four years. If you think resale prices are going to be less than $1,060 psf in four years, you shouldn’t buy, but many investors believe resale prices will be higher than $1,060 psf in 2023. If resale prices increase by 3 per cent a year in the area, values will rise from $975 psf in 2019 to $1,065 in 2023. Resale condo prices have been going up more than 3 per cent annually, and if prices went up 5 per cent annually, that 602 sf unit priced at $620,000 at Garden District would be worth about $680,000 in 2023. Determining if you want to take that risk is an individual choice, and I’d recommend talking to an experienced realtor that

specializes in pre-construction sales. Ask them for the resale comparisons in the immediate area, ask them about pricing of the competitive projects, and ask if they’ve bought any units themselves, and if so, where? There are lots of choices out there, so do your research. Good luck.

ADVICE | CONDO PRO

IS THERE A CONDO IN YOUR FUTURE? BARBARA LAWLOR

That title may seem presumptuous of me, but I contend that the answer is “Yes” for a large percentage of our population across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. As our cities and municipalities grow, the need for new homes and condominiums does as well. With skyrocketing price tags making owning low-rise homes a challenge for everyone but the wealthy, condominiums have taken their place as the new homes of choice for the majority. 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

Whatever stage of life you are at, you will likely own a condo at some point. Take empty-nesters and retirees, many of whom see selling their large low-rise homes to realize equity. Many are moving into condos for their price points, and also because of the carefree lifestyle these residences offer. Leaving behind exterior maintenance is a big attraction of the condominium. The money they bank from selling their low-rise asset(s) can go toward traveling and other fun. Another consideration is the simple fact that most condo suites are singlelevel designs, which is great for aging seniors who find climbing stairs a challenge. As mobility issues arise, being able to head to

the fitness centre for an aerobics class, or meet friends for a game of bridge in the lounge can be as easy as an elevator ride. Families today are also realizing the benefits of going condo. Living at or close to public transportation can, in fact, enable an active, full life without owning a vehicle. This is, of course, a major saving. Convenience also translates to more time that can be spent with family – often right at home, as today’s condominiums include wonderful amenities. We are seeing more condos featuring specific common areas where kids can gather and play. In addition, families are grateful that Toronto and the GTA have great school systems, and every municipality is …continued on page 50

Interior decorator Carly Heung shares insight on why the hexagon continues to be a hallmark feature in the design world.

From decorating hundreds of small spaces, I’ve learned to incorporate nature’s clever spacesaving designs through the use of hexagons to create beautiful spaces. Its shape adds angular interest, symmetry and contrast and brings modern inspiration and tranquility to any space. These geoshapes have taken on quite a statement in the last few years but they are truly a trend that is here to stay. Not only is the hexagon pattern modern and appealing, but this shape holds a very special meaning in life all around us. In nature, inside the beehive, each honeypacked cell is built by tiny bee engineers to take on the shape of a hexagon. They do this for a very clever reason – because of packing efficiency. The hexagon shape allows bees to optimize the space they have. If a series of circles were used instead, there would be empty spaces between them. Turtles are also another creature that helped inspire the hexagon. Their magnificent shells, made from one of the strongest compounds in nature, protect them from predators. These shells are fully covered by subunits of hexagons. As one of the strongest shapes that exist in the world, hexagonal features and details are bound to communicate strength, beauty and unity to your space. 30 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

In today’s home, there is no shortage of appealing areas to use hexagonal features, from backsplashes in your kitchen, to wall or floor tiles in your bathroom. These hexagon shapes can be incorporated into any design feature big or small in your home to maximize both efficiency and appeal!

PoP-uP exhibition celebrates unique story of neon in toronto With plans for a permanent museum in downtown Toronto well underway, Neon Museum Toronto partnered with Slate Asset Management and Neon Demon to bring the Pop-Up Neon Gallery to the Junction House Sales Gallery earlier this month. The Pop-Up Neon Gallery at Junction House features signs and art pieces from the collections of Neon Museum Toronto and Neon Demon. The exhibition celebrates the unique story of neon in Toronto, while raising awareness around the efforts to bring a permanent museum to the city. “Downtown Yonge BIA has been working for five years to establish a permanent home for the neon signs that once lit up Toronto’s streets,” says Downtown Yonge BIA Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director Mark Garner.

“This pop-up is the culmination of a lot of recent momentum around the project and it allows us to offer the public a preview of what they can expect when the permanent museum launches.” The impetus to host the exhibition at Junction House came as Slate Asset Management continues to work with the city to bring a new, illuminated sign to The Junction. Sited at 2720 Dundas St W, just as the road begins to bend, Junction House is conceived as a new gateway into one of Toronto’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. The Junction House project itself offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, as well as its signature House Collection, ranging from 500 sq. ft. to over 1,500 sq. ft. and starting from the $500s. “At Slate we take a city-building approach to development. That

means looking beyond the projectsite and understanding how you can positively impact the greater community. There is an artistry and history embedded in neon signs that the Neon Museum Toronto wants to showcase for the benefit of all Torontonians,” says Brandon Donnelley, VP of Development at Slate. “It echoes what we are trying to achieve with our sign and with Junction House as a whole. We envision it acting as a landmark and entrance into the neighbourhood when you’re arriving from the east end of Dundas or Dupont or passing by on the train.” For more info visit: junctionhouse.ca. For more information on Neon Museum Toronto visit their Facebook page: facebook.com/ torontoneonmuseum

Canderel Introduces St.Clair Village MId-rIse project helpS realize City-initiated Avenue study for St. Clair WeSt There are few neighbourhoods in Toronto where everyone knows your name. The stretch of St. Clair West that passes through Wychwood, Hillcrest and Regal Heights is one of them, and will now welcome Canderel’s St.Clair Village. Nestled right in the middle of the action, St.Clair Village captures the city’s new urban vision for St. Clair Avenue West. “The city worked extensively with surrounding communities in a series of Avenue Studies to ensure the local character of the neighbourhood is preserved, while allowing this part of the city to grow and flourish. Every element of the streetscape along St. Clair is balanced. Wide 38 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

sidewalks, a dedicated streetcar lane, mixed-use zoning and boutique retail storefronts, create the ideal environment for midrise development,” says James Deitcher, Director of Development, Residential Group, Canderel. “It’s a long-term vision that we are proud to be part of.” A neighbourhood characterized by the brick houses of “old” Toronto for more than 100 years, St. Clair stands proud. While the streetcar track may have changed, the same community spirit now ushers in younger families and a new wave of Millennial-focused business into the area. Canderel’s St.Clair Village pays homage to its roots. Designed by Quadrangle, the 12-storey brick

residence cladded in cordovan bronze and maroon red brick features dark bronze window mullions. “The design is subtle in its form with dynamic tactile textures and details. The intention was for the building to become part of the neighbourhood, as if it had always been there,” says Richard Witt, Principal at Quadrangle. “Another main driver for the design was to enhance street life along St. Clair,” says Witt. A framed glass façade creates a dynamic retail experience with amenity spaces strategically placed on the second level to further animate activity on the street. Well served by transit, St.Clair Village is minutes from St. Clair

West subway station, providing a quick 20-minute ride to the downtown core. Residents of St.Clair Village can also enjoy the pristine green spaces and community amenities of nearby Cedarvale, Casa Loma and Forest Hill neighbourhoods. In sync with the community’s renewed urban energy, residential interiors tie the old and the new with sleek lines and refined textures. A monochromatic geometric screen, cove lighting and stone accents create a warm entrance. “We brought the warmth of the neighbourhood’s architecture inside, with a slight transition to a lighter, modern palette,” says Kathy Chow, Interior Designer, Canderel. “As a result, interiors showcase a play between light and dark.” Suite layouts accommodate a range of demographics, from young professionals to families and downsizers, including a large percentage with three-bedrooms. The building’s L shape design favours highly desirable corner layouts. Purchasers also have the opportunity to combine select units. Distinct social spaces provide

options for large or intimate gatherings. Wine collectors can entertain with a featured temperature-controlled wine storage lounge. A fitness studio overlooking St. Clair includes topof-the line exercise equipment including TRX props and cardio equipment with built-in tablets for live class streaming. With projects in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, Canderel is known for creating communities that lead the transformation of neighbourhoods, including: DNA 1, 2 + 3 on King West; Residences of College Park, Aura at College Park and the soon-to-be completed YC Condos at Yonge and College. Canderel was the first developer to build on Etobicoke’s waterfront

and is currently in the process of transforming a significant piece of downtown Montreal with the anticipated Tour des Canadiens master-planned community. With an ear to the ground in Toronto, Canderel has identified 900 and 908 St. Clair West as their next opportunity to bring value to an emerging destination in the city with St.Clair Village. One bedroom to three-bedroom suites at St.Clair Village range from 450 - 1300 Sq. ft, and are priced from the mid -$400s to over $1 million. Launching this spring, the presentation centre will be located at 805 St. Clair West. To register visit: stclairvillage.com

the Cost of landscaping Carson arthur

The cost of landscaping always seems to shock homeowners. Somehow people relate the cost of landscaping to the cost of gardening and are surprised to find out that decks and wood cost more than plants…not to mention the labour involved to install them. In speaking to several industry professionals, the average backyard renovation starts at around $20,000 with some projects crossing the million-dollar mark. With such a huge range, how do you know how much your outdoor landscaping should cost and how much should you 44 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

really be investing in your home? One of the biggest mistakes that a client makes is to envision what they want in the yard BEFORE they really set the budget. When I meet with a client, I start by asking what the approximate value of the home is. If you set your budgets based on percentages of your total home’s worth, than you know that you plans will stay in-line with property values in your neighbourhood. Front yards have been getting more attention by realtors and housing experts because of first-impression numbers. Several online sources place the value of curb appeal and a home’s first impression between 5-8 per cent of the home’s worth. Items like shade trees and front walkways contribute to higher returns, as

do front porches and sitting areas. While plants and gardens are important to the overall appeal, too many flowers in the front yard intimidate buyers looking for low-maintenance homes. As my general rule, I try to keep the front yard landscaping at 7 per cent of a homeowner’s budget. That number does not include the driveway, even though it may be at the front of your home. Backyards tend to be more about function than a front yard space. Good design can offset the shortfalls from the inside of the home with outdoor elements that meet the same need. For example, if a home has a small kitchen, adding an outdoor version with a barbecue or a smoker is a smart investment because it partially addresses

buyers concern when they see the inside space. Having a good deck or patio in your backyard that provides lots of living space can increase your home’s value by up to 12 per cent, according to Century21, Canada. You also need to consider the returnon-investment for your outdoor space. According to ‘Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 Cost-vs-Value Report’ a simple wood deck has an expected return of 75 per cent for the life of the deck, which averages 8-10 years in Canada. This number climbs when you invest in products like MicroPro Sienna; the brown-treated wood available at a majority of box and lumber stores. This wood uses a new treatment process of micronized preservative, which is able to penetrate the wood providing more protection from the elements. If properly cared for, using sealers and cleaning products, a MicroPro Sienna deck can last significantly longer, allowing the homeowner to see a return of 75 per cent of the initial cost for a much longer period. Unfortunately, the size of the deck matters when calculating the return on your investment. So how big should the deck or patio be? It comes down to what you want to use it for. I always tell homeowners to start with the patio furniture. At the store, large patio furniture is shown as compact as possible so that they can get more sets on the showroom floor. Don’t be deceived by this. Too often homeowners plan their outdoor space and can’t find the furniture to fit it. The easiest way to answer this question is to go to the furniture

store and pick out want you really want for your space and then measure it. Bring some friends and make sure to measure your potential set with people sitting in it. Also consider how much room you need to walk around the furniture if it’s being occupied. Here are my general rules…

• A four-person-square table needs a deck that is 12x12 feet. This might seem large but it is important to allow for flow around the table as well as enough space for guests to sit comfortably. Including the barbecue as you plan your space is also very important. • A barbecue needs to be away from a burnable surface by 36 inches when it is in use, so make sure to plan for an area to roll it out before you turn it on. • Four club chairs around a table or propane fireplace needs at least 15x15 feet because people tend to cross their legs or sit in a reclined position and taking up more room on the deck.

With the size of today’s furniture, aim to install a 750-1000 sq. ft. deck to include a six-person table, a decent sized barbecue, and an area for conversational seating. It might seem like a large investment, but all the experts (including this one) agree that creating usable space in the backyard is the key to seeing the big returns when it is time to sell. As you plan your spring projects this year, budget your dollars accordingly. I always tell homeowners to set aside about 20 per cent of their budget for the outdoors. This may seem like a lot, but with all of the housing market numbers showing solid returns in landscaping, you can take comfort in knowing that you money is being spent wisely.

Freehold ownership 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.

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

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

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.

dotted with natural areas such as lush parks. Even in the heart of Toronto, you can walk your dog and take the kids to the park to play. Families, and single women for that matter, thrive on the knowledge that condo living is relatively safe, as there are security measures built in, along with having the concierge there to keep track of who is entering and leaving the building. Keep in mind, too, that some parents are purchasing condo suites for their grown children to live in while attending university, and then selling them at a profit later on. Wise investors who diversify their financial portfolios usually have real estate holdings, and condos have proven to be lucrative investments over the past few years. There is an ongoing need for rental accommodations across the GTA, so the demand is

there, and will be for years to come. With condominiums located close to public transportation, professionals enjoy a quicker work commute. Some may even be able to walk to work. You never really know where life will take you, but after many years in the industry, I feel confident saying that there is likely a condo in your future!

OHBA OutlOOk

creating housing supply And cHOice OHBA welcOmes provincial budget

The Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) welcomed the new Provincial Government 2019 budget, announced on April 11. As the voice of the residential construction industry in Ontario, OHBA represents 4,000 member companies organized into 29 local associations across the province. “This government recognizes that more homes equals better affordability,” said Joe Vaccaro, OHBA’s CEO. “By cutting red tape, the government is taking a practical approach to creating more housing supply and choice by bringing new housing to the market faster.” As #homebeliever champions, as the association’s hashtag suggests, the members of OHBA believe in the great Canadian 60 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 27–May 11, 2019

dream of homeownership by supporting more housing choice and supply across Ontario. OHBA launched the #homebeliever campaign in spring 2018 before the provincial election to engage the government about the importance of the great Canadian dream of homeownership. The campaign successfully served as a conversation starter with over 100 provincial candidates signing the pledge and 59 MPPs representing all four political parties sitting as #homebelievers in today’s Ontario Legislative Assembly. As for the provincial budget, there was an emphasis on cutting red tape and streamlining approvals through the upcoming Housing Supply Action Plan that will address the barriers getting in the way of creating

new housing supply and choice in communities across Ontario. It also announced a significant investment in transit and transportation with a commitment to move forward with a new kind of partnership with the private sector to optimize the use of government-owned land and increase transit ridership. “The Ontario Home Builders’ Association welcomes the historic investments the provincial budget is making to expand transit in communities across Ontario. Builders look forward to working in partnership with the provincial government to adopt a marketdriven approach to transit-oriented development and creating new housing supply and commercial centres,” said Vaccaro.
