Your next home, easier to find We realize there are different ways to search out that next home. That’s why we’ve made it our priority to make that home easier for you to find. While price and size are always a big part of the equation, location will likely affect you most. Whether you want to be closer to work, important amenities or the city — or farther from it — the challenge is to find a home search tool that will provide all those answers. That’s precisely why we’ve developed maps with extensive neighbourhood data on YPNextHome.ca.

These maps make it easy to find not just a home but also see what is in the area, with stats about the community and its residents. YPNextHome.ca offers neighbourhood profiles, as well as guided tours by our team of experts — all connected to the maps, so that there’s no secondary search. We’ve made it easy for you to familiarize yourself with a community and get valuable insights, from hot spots to proximity to the city centre. We hope you find this experience helpful. Let us know, we’d love to hear from you!

Ontario market among the leaders in 2016

+ get social

Good news, Ontario homeowners and prospective homebuyers – your housing market is expected to be among the strongest in Canada this year. For this, we can thank a reasonably strong economy and continuing low interest rates, among other factors. The Canadian Real Estate Association, in fact, forecasts that Ontario and BC will lead the country in 2016 in terms of sales activity and price growth.

The national picture is bright, with sales forecast to grow five per cent and prices 8.4 per cent. In Ontario, sales are projected to rise 9.3 per cent, and average prices eight per cent. BC will be tops in Canada, expected to grow more than 21 per cent in sales and 11.5 per cent in average prices. Other markets across the country should be so lucky, with far more challenging economies and other local factors.

Advice | BILD REPORT

Learning from the best in the world By Bryan Tuckey

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice TO HELP THE BUILDING and development industry in the GTA grow and evolve, we search the globe for new and innovative ideas that can be adapted and implemented here. BILD works with experts and home buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; associations around the world to educate our members on best practices for planning, developing and building new communities. Many ideas are imported and incorporated into the creation of new communities across the GTA and others provide inspiration for future projects. By studying Danish architecture in Copenhagen, our members learned about building woodframe midrise buildings. This ensured they were ready when the province amended the Building Code to allow for woodframe buildings up to six storeys. Woodframe construction is prevalent in Copenhagen. The city is dominated by four- and six-storey buildings, most of them made of wood, rather than the glass towers we typically see in North American cities. While the housing market in Berlin is largely rental based and significantly different from the GTA, the city offered lots of interesting ideas about architecture. Berlin has a lot of infill development, and buildings and their amenities are creatively designed to integrate into their surroundings. Rather than being hidden away, many parking areas and garage doors are beautifully designed to blend into the streetscape. Since we want to continue to build Greener homes in the GTA, our industry looked to Milan for innovative ideas. Italy introduced

mandatory building energy labeling 10 years ago, which led to the adoption of some really interesting water and energy conservation mechanisms. Developers in Milan combine style and function by incorporating European design into their green features. This includes using rainwater collected from the buildings as public fountains, or planting hundreds of trees in planter boxes on condo balconies for benefits like shade and improved air quality. American markets like Miami showcase great examples of marketing luxury condominiums with extravagant amenities. New-home buyers in the city are treated to overthe-top sales offices, larger suites

and super-sized models. Purchasers are responsible for the interior design of their suites, allowing them to customize every aspect of their home to their liking. In addition to learning other markets, the GTA also welcomes numerous groups from cities around the world. Over the years we have welcomed industry professionals from places such as Austria, Denmark, China and Russia to showcase our communities and building practices. Bryan Tuckey is president and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association and a land-use planner who has worked for municipal, regional and provincial governments.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

Window of opportunity Mortgage rates remain at historical lows, so take advantage while you can – but carefully By Wayne Karl

LAST YEAR was a notable one in the

mortgage world: The Bank of Canada dropped its influential overnight target rate – not once, but twice. In its latest announcement on Dec. 2, the BoC held the rate at 0.50 per cent – where it had been since July after dropping it from 0.75 per cent, where it had been since January 2015 when the Bank dropped it from one per cent. Just a bunch of numbers, right? Perhaps, but some experts are now saying rates won’t begin to inch up from these historical lows until 2017. This means an extended window of opportunity for those looking to buy a home. If you could lock in at a low rate over 10 years, for example, that gives you the comfort of knowing what your mortgage payments will be over that period, while over that time you can also take advantage of any pre-payment and lump-sum payment options to pay down your mortgage. Another appeal of this scenario is that, as we often point out, experts advise you take a longterm view of your home purchase. For example, some markets have recently experienced cooling prices and softening sales. But even if

ONLINE

that were to happen in your market and housing type, ask yourself: in 10 years, is a home you buy today likely to be worth more or less? If you need an answer to this question, just take a look back at prices 10 years ago. Of course, there are no guarantees, but if you’re in the homebuying mode anyway, today’s low rate environment makes a pretty compelling reason to act sooner than later to take advantage of these opportunities. Low rates notwithstanding, the banks, financial firms, brokers and other experts still advise homebuyers to practice smart borrowing. Experts stress that even as rates remain low, buyers should explore everything from putting down a larger down payment to taking advantage of pre-payment options to “stresstesting” your mortgage at a higher rate to ensure your finances can accommodate rate fluctuations or other unforeseen circumstances.

One day, the mortgage landscape will change. And if you’re among those homeowners who have been somewhat spoiled by continuing low rates, you could be could be in for an unpleasant surprise. Take advantage of today’s low rates while you can, but also spend the time necessary to find a broker or banker you trust, who knows their business, and who can help you explore what options might be best for you. More so than in any other area of homebuying, you’re going to rely on this advice – now more than ever. It will prove to be time well spent.

Canada’s 7 hottest real estate markets With 2015 in the rear view mirror and the New Year upon us, it’s an appropriate time to take a look at Canada’s hottest real estate markets. While you might expect that Canada’s largest and most expensive markets such as Toronto and Vancouver are also the hottest, that’s not necessarily the case.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

What the new mortgage rules mean for Canadians apply across Canada. The changes will apply to new mortgage loans where a mortgage insurance application is received on Feb. 15, 2016 or later. First-time homebuyers who planned on making a five-per-cent down payment on a property that costs between $500,000 and $1 million will be affected the most. That could lead them to do one of the following:

By Alyssa Richard

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice IF YOU INTEND on buying a property

in the future, you may need to come up with a larger down payment because of recently announced new mortgage rules. In early December, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced changes to the mortgage rules. Starting Feb. 15, 2016, there will be extra down payment requirements for properties costing between $500,000 and $1 million. The current five per cent minimum down payment for the first $500,000 will stay the same, but there’ll be a 10 per cent minimum down payment for the portion of the home price above $500,000. For example, someone buying an $800,000 property would need to make a down payment of five per cent on the first $500,000 ($25,000) and 10 per cent on the remaining $300,000 ($30,000). That would be equal to a total down payment of $55,000, or 6.9 per cent of the total purchase price or an increase of $15,000. The five per cent minimum

down payment for properties up to $500,000 and the 20 per cent minimum down payment for properties above $1 million both remain unchanged. And Canadians who currently have a mortgage will not be affected. The changes are aimed at slowing the housing markets in Vancouver and Toronto. While the average home price is $454,976 in Canada, it’s $630,876 in Toronto and $947,334 in Vancouver, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. Although the changes are meant to slow two of the country’s hottest real estate markets, the rules will

Some of the changes include decreasing the maximum amortization for insured mortgages to 25 years, increasing the minimum down payment from zero to five per cent, and raising the minimum down payment on investment properties from zero to 20 per cent. ratehub.ca is a financial services comparison site that helps Canadians find the best products to meet their needs.

Price of new GTA lowrise homes reaches record high PRICES OF NEW GTA lowrise

homes have once again climbed to a new record high, according to the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). The average price of new detached, semi-detached and townhomes across the region reached $818,354 at the end of November. This is a 17-per-cent increase from November 2014 when the average price was $700,779, according to RealNet Canada Inc., BILD’s official source for new-home market intelligence. “Prices in the lowrise market have more than doubled in the last 10 years,” says BILD president and CEO Bryan Tuckey. “This significantly reduces the average buyer’s ability to afford a new lowrise home in the GTA.” The average price of a new lowrise home in November 2005 was $388,805. Average prices of highrise homes saw little change, as a result of smaller suite sizes across the GTA. The average price of a highrise home was $446,981 at the end of November, a decrease of less than one per cent from November 2014 when the average price was $449,371. Meanwhile the average size of a new highrise suite in November was 772 sq. ft. – a decrease of four per cent from 2014 and 14 per cent

“The average price of new detached, semi-detached and townhomes across the region reached $818,354 at the end of November.” from 2005, when suite size was 810 and 901 sq. ft., respectively. “While average prices of highrise suites has not changed, the price per square foot continues to grow,” Tuckey says. “To keep the price of new condominiums within reach for new-home buyers, the industry has found creative ways to reduce the overall size of suites while maximizing living space.” The price per square foot of new highrise homes in the GTA was $579 at the end of November, marking a four per cent increase from November 2014 when the price was $555. The average price per square foot has grown 74 per cent in the last 10 years from $333. “Our member companies continue

to find new and innovative ways to build new homes that are affordable for new-home buyers amidst a price surge fueled by constrained supply of serviced land designated for development,” Tuckey says. “It is a challenge because constrained supply has resulted in fewer new homes being brought to market, which means demand is far outpacing supply, particularly in the lowrise market.” There were 1,800 new detached, semi-detached and townhomes sold in November in the GTA, bringing the remaining inventory of new lowrise inventory down to 4,669 homes. This is a 73 per cent decrease in inventory from 2005 when the amount of homes available for sale was 17,311. A detailed table of new-home sales across the region is available below. “The GTA has less than three months of inventory remaining,” Tuckey says. “It is critical that we have an adequate supply of serviced land designated for development so that we can continue to build quality, complete communities that people can afford and want to purchase.”

Advice | LEGALLY SPEAKING

Getting your house in order By Jayson Schwarz

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

WHETHER YOU’RE purchasing a

home for the first time, are a seasoned buyer moving in the market or purchasing a retirement condominium, the very action of this significant investment in real estate represents a major life change. There are a number of issues that you should consider in order to ensure that your house is in order. 1. How will I hold the title? If more than one person is buying the property, it is necessary to decide how they will share the title. There are two ways people can hold title together. The first is generally the way we hold title with our spouses or children, which is called “joint tenancy.” This means that upon the death of one of the parties, the remaining party automatically becomes the owner of the whole property without having to inherit it or having it pass through an estate. The reason is simply that all owners on title own the whole property rather than a part each.

The other way title can be held is as “tenants in common.” Here each party only owns the percentage allocated to them, although the physical part owned is not described. Upon the death of a tenant in common, his or her percentage of the ownership goes to their heirs in accordance with their will or law. Therefore, remember to discuss this issue when you go see your lawyer. 2. What about a will? If you have a will, is it up to date and does it represent your current situation or state of affairs? It is important, especially if you have young children, to have your wills completed; not so much for the money, but for a clear resolution of the issue of custody if something happens to both parents. A will stops sibling disputes, takes care of who will look after children, keeps the government out of your affairs, allows for an orderly disposition of your assets, and will

allow you to determine how you are to be buried. A power of attorney is used when you are physically or mentally incapacitated — there are two kinds. The first is for your body (what care you will or will not receive). Your representative will determine that. The other is for the management of your financial affairs. Now is the time to create a will. Speak to your lawyer and ensure that this important matter is dealt with. 3. What about insurance? You will need insurance for the house. This is a great time to look at life and disability insurance, and determine if you should be insuring your mortgage in case something happens to the major wage earner.

Top 5 trends to help you select finishes for your new home By Jane Lockhart

ONE OF THE MOST exciting and

stressful times of purchasing a new home from plans is the opportunity to select your own colours and finishes. Many clients hire us to come along with them to the builder’s decor centre for the selection process to make it smooth, fast and current in terms of trends. The word “trend” is a confusing one, as it is often confused with the idea of a fad which is short term and likely to not last more than half a year to a year in length. A trend is an underlying current within the marketplace that is generally adopted by most people within a certain category whether it is fashion,

home decor, interior design or a particular architectural style. It is this information that residential designers are highly attuned to and can provide valuable insight when selecting materials for your new home. Here is a quick guide to trends you may want to consider as you chose materials and finishes for your new house or condo.

ongoing trend in kitchens and master bathrooms, particularly, but where possible, adding these to secondary bathrooms and laundry rooms is also popular. Some of the new laminate countertop patterns are pretty nice and can work in less high traffic spaces – and can offer cost savings.

1) Solid surface countertops This includes quartz, granite and other materials such as Corian, although it is far less popular than it was a few years ago with the mass variety and colour of quartz products. Solid surface counters are an

There is no question that we are in a time of “white” as the dominant colour for a variety of home decor objects. Tile is no exception, and has gone from beige and tumbled in look to a polished and marbled finish, complete with a high gloss

4) White cabinetry and dark islands Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is becoming more common with double-stacked cabinets. Different coloured islands continue although wood choices are moving from maple to cherry and even to walnut for a more lux feel. Island colours such as black, ebony, gray and charcoal have become more popular, as homeowners look for creative but classy alternatives to chocolate brown. 5) Hardwood ﬂooring a top seller in new homes

Change is underway in both colour and finish, however. With a nod to softer palettes, lighter hardwoods have begun to gain traction with pale grey-blond floors and even ash-coloured oaks popping up here and there. Wider plank flooring is still more interesting than long thin strip flooring and the glossy finishes of just a few years ago are on the decline. Look for more wire-brushed and hand-scraped finishes as they provide surfaces that are less likely to show wear and scratches than traditional dark, glossy hardwoods.

surface. It is smooth and clean with a modern edge. This has become a staple in master bathrooms and front foyers and given some layouts, even kitchens and mudrooms. Most tiles today are larger and are made from porcelain, which is more durable overall than ceramic. 3) Larger trim work and ceiling details for the main ﬂoor Rooms where we see this trend include the family room, dining

room, foyer, office and living room. Be prepared to look at baseboard that is seven to 10 in. in height from the norm of five just a few years ago. More elaborate ceiling details such as tray, coffered or waﬄe applications continue to grow in popularity, as well as crown molding in wood or plaster. Included in this category is wainscoting and paneling which both are popular in main ﬂoor rooms as finishing treatments.

There are more trends out there in new home construction, but this summary reminds us that the underlying current of dominant design ideas shape what we subconsciously select in the long run. It is important to understand what has staying power and what doesn’t, so you make sound choices when selecting materials and finishes for your new home. It’s hard to think too far ahead, it’s possible that these finishes may surround you and your family for a lifetime. So, do some research before you make final selections to ensure you know what you want and where design trends are heading.

Ottawa moves to raise minimum down payment requirement By Wayne Karl

CALGARY, EDMONTON and other markets already experiencing a cooling are expected to be among the cities hardest hit by the federal government’s new minimum down payment requirement. Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Dec. 11 announced changes to the rules for government-backed mortgage insurance, intended to contain risks in the housing market, reduce taxpayer exposure and support long-term stability. Effective Feb. 15, 2016, the minimum down payment for new insured mortgages will increase from five per cent to 10 per cent for the portion of the house price above $500,000. The five-per-cent minimum down payment for properties up to $500,000 remains unchanged. The move represents a graduated approach to increasing the down payment requirement proportionally to the cost of a home. Canadians who already hold mortgages will not be affected by this announcement. “The government’s role in housing is to set and maintain a framework that is equitable, stable and sustainable,” Morneau says. “The actions taken today prudently address emerging vulnerabilities in certain housing markets, while not overburdening other regions. They also rebalance government support for the housing sector to promote long-term stability and balanced economic growth. “This measure will increase homeowner equity, which plays a key role in maintaining a stable and secure housing market and economy over the long term,” he adds. “It also protects all homeowners, including many middle class Canadians whose greatest investment is in their homes.” In making the announcement, Morneau also highlighted the increases in guarantee fees for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC)-sponsored securitization programs, announced by CMHC. So, what might all this mean for consumers? For those in Calgary, Edmonton and even Victoria, BC, the move could have the unintended consequences of imparting additional cooling on already chilly markets. CIBC Deputy Chief Economist Benjamin Tal says the largest impact will be felt in Calgary, due to the large share of high-ratio mortgages. In this city, the new measures are estimated to impact about 10 per cent of new sales, while in Toronto the figure is five per cent; in Vancouver, just 2.5 per cent. Overall, the ramifications of the move should be fairly minimal. “It will only affect a small number of buyers,” James Laird, president of mortgage broker CanWise Financial, told New Home Guide. “People in the affected group may need to rent a little bit longer until they save

the extra down payment required. They may still buy where they’re planning to by getting help from family. Or they may still buy right away, but buy a slightly smaller home than they were planning to.” The changes primarily target high-end homebuyers — “two young professionals earning pretty good incomes,” Laird adds. “They are purchasing in this $500,000 to $1 million bracket. “The other thing to think about is that it really shouldn’t affect non-first-time homebuyers. Presumably, they’d be selling their previous home to buy another home, and there’d be enough equity in their home.” Toronto-based mortgage broker and wealth planner Calum Ross expects the new rules to cause a spike in activity before the deadline. “Unexpected changes to the market that make access to capital more difficult historically have had a significant short-term impact, followed by an adjustment,” he told New Home Guide. “Expect market activity to go up substantially on homes priced between $500,000 and $1 million through until the deadline. Personally, the only surprise part of this announcement is why they didn’t do this sooner. The fact people were able to do five per cent down beyond $500,000 was ridiculous to begin with. Homeownership is a privilege, not a right.”

On Jan. 16, Mattamy returns to Cornell with imaginative & inspiring takes on

MODERN LIVING

MATTAMY HOMES is back in the thriving town of Markham. Boasting more than 900 technology and life services companies, the city attracts more bright and energetic residents every day. Always a pioneer in home and community building, Mattamy has anticipated and addressed the appeal of the region with an intriguing take on modern living.

INGENIOUS REAR LANE VILLAGE HOMES & REAR LANE TOWNHOMES

Mattamy will soon release a complement of rear lane Village Homes and rear lane townhomes in the community of Cornell. As the company does for every project, Mattamy did its homework prior to putting a pencil on a design paper. Understanding what modern families need and desire encouraged the company to re-interpret the townhome concept. Cornell’s collection of rear lane Village Homes and towns offer modern living with exceptional value. Thanks to an

ingenious layout the multi-level plan combines privacy with ease-ofaccess and optimized living space. Putting people before cars, each home has garage access from the rear of the building and private front door on the face of the building. THE RETURN OF THE ORIGINAL COMMUNITY BUILDER

Mattamy is no stranger to Markham and indeed no stranger to innovation there. One of the original builders in Cornell in 1998, the company cleverly seeded the community’s retail centre with the construction of its inventive live/work home styles. Now recognized as the largest privately owned home builder in North America, Mattamy returns to Cornell with the identical objective, to sustain a people-friendly community of inviting homes and inviting streets. Location, as ever, is paramount and Mattamy’s commitment to Cornell has rewarded its

homeowners. By design, all are strategically situated among and near the most compelling features of the region. Of course there is a tremendous quantity of convenient and fine shopping, dining and entertainment close at hand. Nearby, the Cornell Community Centre and Library occupies more than 129,000 sq. ft. and invites with an abundance of activities. From education to

recreation, it features a multi-level, fully equipped health and fitness centre, indoor playground and more. Markham Stouffville Hospital services and employs residents from just across the southwest edge of Cornell. And access to and from Cornell couldn’t be easier with nearimmediate Hwy. 407 access just south of the community. Of course, there’s plenty of appeal

within the community proper. That’s because Mattamy communities typically presents themselves with rich and intriguing character. The company has taken pains to assure that, while fresh and contemporary, the new architecture will blend seamlessly into the existing community motifs. Residents, as always, are primed to enjoy their lives out-of-doors as they will inside their Mattamy homes. Already interconnected with walking and biking paths, Cornell will be augmented with the type and number of charming parks and parkettes that encourage neighbours to congregate and their children to play together. With an established heritage of success, the builder’s new concept for Cornell will exist as an inspiring new community. One Mattamy describes as “designed for families who expect excellence in design and who enjoy fulfilling modern lifestyles.” Mattamy’s new homes start from $489,990.

Ontario and BC housing markets to lead Canada in 2016 By Wayne Karl

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

ONTARIO AND BC HOUSING markets are expected to lead the country next year, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). In updating its forecast for Multiple Listing Service home sales activity for 2015 and 2016, CREA says housing markets in these provinces have strengthened since its last forecast in September. The association has therefore raised sales and average price forecasts for these provinces. While housing markets in other provinces have performed as expected through the autumn, prospects in 2016 for a rebound in oil prices — and by extension, housing markets in oil producing provinces — have dimmed. Accordingly, forecast for sales activity in Alberta has been revised lower, as have forecast average prices in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador. Additionally, interest rates are now expected to begin rising later than previously anticipated. Now expected to remain on hold until late next year, low interest rates will continue to support sales and prices in 2016.

Recently announced changes to mortgage regulations that take effect Feb. 15, 2016 risk cooling housing markets beyond their intended targets of Greater Vancouver and the GTA, CREA says. In particular, the changes are expected to reduce sales activity in Calgary. The forecast for national sales in 2015 has been revised higher, reflecting stronger than anticipated activity in BC and Ontario. National sales are now projected to rise by five per cent to 504,000 units for 2015, marking the second strongest year on record for home sales in Canada. British Columbia is projected to post the largest annual increase in sales activity in 2015 (21.4 per cent), while Alberta (-21.4 per cent), Saskatchewan (-10.8 per cent) and Nova Scotia (-5.1 per cent) will record annual sales declines. Activity in Manitoba is forecast to rise by 2.3 per cent this year. Home sales in Ontario are projected to rise by 9.3 per cent in 2015. The increase would in all likelihood be higher were it not for a shortage of lowrise homes in the GTA. Sales in Quebec and New Brunswick are forecast to rise by 4.8 per cent and 5.4 per cent respectively compared to sluggish 2014 results. Newfoundland and Labrador sales are forecast to increase 3.2 per cent in 2015 on the back of a rebound in the second half of the year. Activity in Prince Edward Island, having benefited from the lower Canadian dollar, is expected to be up 18.8 per cent from 2014 levels. The annual forecast for national average home price growth has been revised upward to $442,600 this year, representing an increase of 8.4 per cent. British Columbia will be the only province this year where average home prices rise faster (11.5 per cent) than the national average. The rise in Ontario’s average price (eight per cent) is forecast to be roughly in line with the national increase. Elsewhere, average prices in 2015 are forecast to rise by about two per cent in Manitoba, Quebec and Nova Scotia, while falling 1.9 per cent in Alberta, 2.7 per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador and by less than one per cent in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Already proving popular with purchasers of all ages, these homes are situated on standard lots, with some gracing a quiet crescent. Families appreciate the neighbourhood’s location steps to elementary and high schools, and baby boomers moving from Toronto find they can sell their homes for $1 million or more and buy a superb Aspen Ridge residence for prices beginning from the low $600,000s. Proximity to amenities such as Hwys. 403 and 407, parks, bigbox stores, restaurants, culture and the Lake Ontario waterfront adds to the community’s appeal,

and the comprehensive amenities of Burlington are minutes away. From the end of May to the end of October, residents appreciate the Waterdown Farmers’ Market for fruit, vegetables, artisan cheese, organic wine, eggs, pastries and more. Waterdown is also home to an array of shops, services, spas and an eclectic assortment of eateries. From spring to fall, Waterdown is also rich with lush gardens of vibrantly coloured flowers and textured greenery. Within this vibrant setting, Aspen Ridge’s home collection is surrounded by conservation land, amidst acres of greenspace encompassing woodlots, trails, streams and scenic waterfalls.

Branthaven Homes brings holiday cheer to YWCA Hamilton BRANTHAVEN HOMES helped deliver some holiday cheer to YWCA Hamilton recently, when the Burlington, Ont.-based builder brought in a stylist, local artist and a team of volunteers to treat residents to a day of holiday-inspired treats and festivities, capping it off with a craft and a tree lighting ceremony. Women living at the YWCA often have nowhere to go. Having struggled with homelessness, addiction, mental illness and violence, the few possessions they carry with them are everything they own. “When Branthaven began brainstorming about initiatives in which we could participate during this holiday season, the women of the YWCA immediately came to mind,” says Kristen Bellamy, marketing manager at Branthaven Homes. “Bringing in our team to decorate for the season, while encouraging interaction and celebration among the women is something that we were fortunate enough to be able to witness, once more.” Cyndi McMullen, a YWCA resident who has lived at the facility for a year-and-a-half was beaming with excitement over the project. “It means a lot. There are many people

in Hamilton without a family, and Branthaven came in with Christmas decorations and trees – it’s just mind-blowing.” Earlier this year, Branthaven Homes renovated all 65 transitional housing units at the YWCA Hamilton. After watching a TV segment on the Ys transitional living program and finding the rooms bleak, Branthaven President Steve Stipsits was motivated to champion the $400,000 rejuvenation.

“We worked closely on the rejuvenation project because our goal was to give women living at the YWCA Hamilton a beautifully renovated space that would have a positive impact on their lives,” says Stipsits. “It turns out that the women gave us more than that. We had a new-found appreciation for women who were going through challenging journeys. We found their determination, perseverance and strength inspirational.”

PORT CREDIT’S WARM, welcoming

atmosphere makes it the residential hotspot in the 905. Homes near the lake are generally hot commodities in the GTA, and Port Credit is no different. It boasts a laidback atmosphere, quirky one-off boutiques and high home values. Lifestyle Port Credit has long been a hot spot on the Lake Ontario shoreline, from its humble beginnings as a French trading post 300 years ago to the present day. The area still serves as a premier shopping destination, with a collection of quaint stores and services. The small-town charm is bolstered by the presence of ice cream parlours, dress shops and bakeries, and rounded out by pubs, restaurants and music stores.

Vibe The area’s marine roots date back 300 years, but even today Lake Ontario and the Credit River remain a means of transportation and recreation for those looking to relax on the water, steps from the trendy and teeming Lakeshore Road strip. Meet the neighbours Port Credit Village is home to about 11,500 people. A nautical atmosphere, coupled with urban amenities, makes it an equal draw for twenty-something singles, young professionals and growing families. In the area This neighbourhood is a charmer. But you’ll have to dig deep, with detached house prices averaging north of $700,000 and property

values among the highest in Mississauga. You can still call this hood home for the high $300,000s, if condo living is to your liking. Planes, trains & automobiles Lakeshore and QEW are the main eastwest thoroughfares if you’re driving, or take public transit via Port Credit GO or Mississauga Transit, with eight bus routes cutting through the Hurontario/ Lakeshore hub and connecting to the TTC at Longbranch GO. Real estate Few spots in the GTA offer this laidback, waterfront setting within easy access of urban amenities. But with the influx of locals and day trippers on a sunny Sunday, especially during one of the many summertime street fests, Lakeshore can be slow-going. Best leave the car in the driveway and explore by foot, or boat!

Mason Homes named regional Green Member and Builder of the Year MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

The annual Peterborough & the Kawarthas Home Builders Association (PKHBA) Awards recently saw Mason Homes take home a number of awards. The awards were handed out during the 2015 PKHBA Housing Design Awards, which recognize and honour the special achievements of members of the Association – homebuilders, renovators and new home design, sales and marketing professionals. Mason Homes captured top honours when it was named both Green Member of the Year and Tract Builder of the Year. In addition to being a finalist for a number of design and marketing categories, Mason Homes was also recognized for Best Model Home for its Lakeside in Port Hope model home The Oakwood, Best Sales Centre for Lakeside, Best Exterior Space for its Lakeside Blue Jay Courtyard design, and Best Tract Built Home over 2,501 sq. ft. showcasing the Lakeside Mallard Loft design. “We are thrilled with this honour,” says Mason Homes’ President Gord Mason. “We’re very proud of the liveability of design and attention to detail found within our Greener,

smarter built homes. We don’t simply build homes, we build homes that are ‘green for life.’ An environmentally sustainable house shouldn’t be considered a luxury, it should be the standard all homes aspire to and are the cornerstones on which we build every Mason home.” The 13th Annual Housing Design Awards are an important way to recognize the highest levels of achievement in our local home building industry. Held annually since 2002, the PKHBA’s Housing Design Awards celebrates excellence in product design and marketing. With experience and values passed on from father to son, Gord Mason founded Mason Homes in 1961. Today, more than 55 years later, he continues to operate under the same strong commitment to design and construction excellence that were the cornerstones of his father’s home construction business in 1920s. A builder of quality Green homes with new townhomes, semi-detached homes and detached homes in Peterborough, Lindsay, Barrie and Port Hope, Mason Homes has built more than 7,000 new homes in neighbourhoods and communities throughout the Province.

SLEEP RETREAT ONLINE

New Year’s resolutions for your home

Ringing in a new year doesn’t change who you are, unless you let it. It’s a marker in time, a point from which you can decide to make a change. A fresh year can bring fresh perspective and so many people use Jan. 1 to make resolutions — leave the old bad habits behind with the old year and step into the new year full of good intentions for a better you. New Year’s resolutions can be anything from bettering your health to changing your attitude. How about bettering your home! Here are some great New Year’s resolutions for your home ››

2016-01-05 3:38 PM

As cold weather sets in and the days get shorter and shorter, ensuring our bedrooms feel like sanctuaries becomes so much more important. The bedroom is such an easy place to overlook — and in my experience, it’s often the last place busy parents will invest time and money. To ensure you get the best sleep possible, here are some essential steps to creating the best sleep retreat. 1. Get the best mattress you can afford We spend a third of our day sleeping — so your mattress is a product that is absolutely worth investing in! While it might be scary to look at a high ticket price on a premium mattress, remember that a good mattress can last anywhere from 5-10 years or longer. So a $2,500 mattress amortized over this length of time ends up costing around the same price as your daily cup of coffee. And do ensure you try before you buy — don’t be shy to lie down and toss and turn in the store to make sure it’s a perfect fit.

2. Keep it dark Keeping a room dark plays a huge impact on quality of sleep for both adults and children. Before going to bed, put lights on a dimmer (an easy change an electrician can do if you don’t have them currently) to mentally prepare your body for rest. Then ensure you have black out window coverings for the best light fastness. In children’s rooms especially, I love using side channels that a company like Budget Blinds can install to keep light out from the small gaps that typically occur on the sides of roller shades.

3. Keep it dramatic I love creating cozy bedrooms. In my space I used a deep indigo blue called Krimson Lake by CIL Paints. It is absolutely a myth that dark colours are inappropriate for small spaces — in a small space dark paint can make a room feel cozy, dramatic and inviting. I took the drama one step further by installing applied moulding from Metrie’s Very Square collection. Applied moulding painted out the same colour as the walls is a modern take on a more traditional architectural application.

4. Keep it clean Commit to keeping the bedroom the cleanest room in the house. At the end of a chaotic day, who wants to return to chaos? Commit to using laundry hampers, to putting clean laundry away immediately, and to making the bed daily. Making the bed, if you don’t do so already, is a really simple task that will yield huge wins and build momentum for keeping the rest of the room tidy as well.

5. Make it smell good I use an essential oil diffuser in the bedroom in the morning to get me energized and in the evening to get my body ready for sleep. A few drops of lavender essential oil diffused in the room makes everything smell good and can do wonders to calm the nerves and aid in relaxation. For further help getting the best sleep try an herbal supplement like Pascoflair’s passionflower to de-stress and aid in restlessness. And absolutely remember to not let the bedroom become a dumping ground for mess — you deserve a great night’s sleep and a restful retreat after a long busy day. Commit to giving yourself this gift everyday!

2. Streamline 1. Clean

It’s easy to get into a rut with your cleaning. You do the same tasks and take care of the same things in your regular routine. Take a look around and see what really needs attention and then make it your resolution to add that to the cleaning routine.

It may be old, damaged or just not fit your decor, but you can’t get rid of it. It’s now or never. You don’t have enough room in your home — or your headspace — for clutter so either find a purpose for it or give it away to someone that can.
