Early February and we’re enjoying double-digit plus Celsius temperatures... We often associate this time of year with blahs, but it’s also worth celebrating, given that it’s the shortest month of the year, and March and spring soon follow. And while the deadline for 2015 Registered Retirement Savings Plan contributions isn’t until Feb. 29, and May 2 for filing your 2015 income tax return, perhaps we need to start thinking of February in a different light altogether. Indeed, our tax content in this issue and on YPNextHome.ca is intended to explore this topic in advance of filing deadlines, to help readers learn about
opportunities to take advantage of while you still can. But, heeding the advice of experts, perhaps “tax time” should instead be a year-round task. From making regular RRSP contributions, to comparing RRSPs and tax-free savings accounts, to learning of the various credits available, tax planning for some is as necessary as the inevitable taxes themselves. Preparing as best you can throughout the year might help minimize the sting come deadline time – and help you learn to embrace the opportunities to save, not just fear what you have to pay.

A year of strong sales and record prices By Bryan Tuckey
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
IN THE GTA, 2015 WAS A YEAR of
strong sales for new homes and condominiums and a year of record-breaking prices. Demand for new homes in the GTA remained strong because the region continues to grow by up to 100,000 people each year. One of the highest volume sales year in the last decade, last year saw 41,295 new homes purchased. Sales were up slightly from 2014 and up 13 per cent from the 10-year average of 36,543. The split between highrise and lowrise purchases was fairly even. Accounting for 52 per cent of the new homes sold, highrise condos just edged out sales of lowrise townhomes and detached and semidetached houses. Prices of new homes in the GTA reached new heights in 2015. Newhome buyers looking for detached homes can now expect to pay close to $1 million. The average price of the much coveted homes reached $991,156 in December, up 18 per cent from a year ago. Overall, lowrise home prices increased by more than $100,000 in the past 12 months. The average price across all types of lowrise homes reached $829,766, a new alltime high. For many new-home buyers, especially first-time buyers, highrise condominiums are becoming the only housing option that is affordable. The home building and development industry continues to innovate and find ways to keep condominium prices within the reach of first-time buyers. In
“Overall, lowrise home prices increased by more than $100,000 in the past 12 months.” the face of escalating land prices and other costs including government fees and changes, they are doing this by maximizing living space and reducing the overall size of suites. So while the average price per square foot of new highrise homes hit an all-time high of $584 in December, the average price of a suite actually decreased slightly. In December the average price of a new highrise condo unit was $453,083, down from $454,476 a year ago. At the same time, the average suite size decreased from 816 to 775 sq. ft. Escalating prices is a function of supply and demand. While demand for lowrise has remained strong, the GTA faces a constrained supply of new lowrise homes coming to market due to a lack of serviced developable land. This
significantly affects housing choice for new-home buyers and has made purchasing lowrise homes increasingly challenging. Some experts believe that the GTA is following in the footsteps of Greater Vancouver. A recent study by the research firm Demographia identified Vancouver as the third-most unaffordable city in the world. The study attributes the erosion of housing affordability in Vancouver to constraints of construction and says the same constraints are at play in the GTA. The research found constrained supply of serviced land designated for development has reduced the supply of new lowrise homes across Vancouver while demand has not disappeared. Therefore, demand for ground related has outpaced supply and prices have surged. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

2016 tax tips to save time, stress and money By Wayne Karl
TAXES… HEY, PAY ATTENTION. Try
not to yawn or fall asleep. Taxes are not the most exciting topic, but they’re important nonetheless. We’ve simplified the matter with our list of 2016 tax hacks, for which we enlisted the help of our resident tax expert George Dube, CPA and CA, of BDO Canada. 1. DEADLINES, DEADLINES Filing: This year, you get a couple extra days – sort of. The deadline for filing your personal tax return is usually April 30, but this year that day falls on a Saturday, so the deadline for your 2015 return is actually Monday, May 2. Self-employed: If you are selfemployed, your filing due date is June 15, but any balance of tax owing for the year is due by May 2. RRSP contributions: The deadline for contributing to your RRSP (registered retirement savings plan) is Feb. 29. 2. GET WITH THE PLAN – A PLAN, ANY PLAN Here’s an idea: In January of each year, consider reviewing how you did the previous year, as well as your goals for the coming year. Weigh this against your overall plan, and make adjustments as needed. For example, you might want to look at reviewing insurance coverage, or making changes to any investments that may be underperforming. And, of course, look at your overall plan and structure from a tax and accounting perspective – and if necessary, see a tax specialist for advice. Better yet, make it a priority to meet with your advisors at some point during the year – more than once, if you need to. Present them with your existing finances and goals, your accounting system and expectations for minimizing
taxes and maximizing savings. In addition, consider getting a tax estimate to help with your cash flow planning. 3. SAVE THE DATE Consider using a tax calendar – yes, a tax calendar – if you have investments such as an income property or you own or operate a small business. Incorporating deadlines into your personal tax calendars (such as year-end tax deadlines and HST deadlines) can be an extremely helpful tool. Using a tax calendar will make it easier to meet your filing requirements for Canada Revenue Agency, which can save you money and ensure you receive less attention from the CRA by meeting its deadlines and paying on time. For a sample tax calendar, visit bdoreinvestor.ca/calendar 4. GET ORGANIZED Early in the new year is the perfect time to ensure you are as organized as possible. Tweak your banking, accounting and filing systems as needed, to ensure they work smoothly. If you are still swamped with paper and working from a shoebox, one of the biggest things you can do to reduce your stress is to get a system in place. To have the right plan and meet your
CRA filing requirements, you must get your bookkeeping in order. This means: » Your accountant, if you use one, should receive your information in a timely manner, and in turn prepare the financial statements and tax returns on time » You can better analyze what’s going on with your finances, and make any necessary changes For tips on getting organized, speak to an accountant about a welldocumented organizational system. Make your system as digital as possible for even easier access. When you can access your documents via your smartphone when your banker is asking for details to finalize a mortgage, for example, imagine how impressed the banker will be with how quickly you can provide this information. And if you need any more clarity on the subject of taxes, go to the Grand Poo Bah source of them all, Canada Revenue Agency.

Advice | MORTGAGE FINESSE
Credit & debt management By Calum Ross
AS THE CREDIT SYSTEM continues
to evolve in Canada, consumers are getting increasingly confused with a greater variety of credit products from a greater variety of financial institutions. In fact, the average Canadian gets more correspondence from financial institutions than they do from family and friends combined (what have we come to?). To further complicate matters, institutions are granting credit to consumers at a pace never seen before. The combination of increasingly sophisticated marketing techniques to consumers coupled with more and more available credit truly becomes too much temptation for many people to bear. Consumer debt is a major issue in North America. The concept of keeping up with the Jones has destroyed both people’s financial health and their personal lives. What I am here to tell you is that you don’t need to fall into this trap! Here are some simple guidelines that will prevent you from becoming yet another consumer credit victim: 1. Control spending by knowing exactly where every dollar goes. Tracking your spending habits in detail periodically will enlighten you in ways that you never considered. While doing this on a monthly basis is not realistic, try to do this in detail for at least one month a year. Helpful tip: If you and your spouse spend $3 per day on coffee, this totals $1,095 per year. Depending on your tax bracket, this amount could represent over $2,000 in pre-tax income. Is the free coffee at your office that bad?
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
2. Watch your liquidity closely. Liquidity refers to your or your family’s ability to pay its short-term debt obligations. Watching what available funds you have to pay upcoming debt obligations is fundamental to avoiding credit problems. Helpful tip: Think carefully before using purchase programs that require no payments for a set period. If you can’t afford to pay for it now, should you buy it? 3. Develop a realistic budget and live by it always. A good budget must have specific financial goals with a clearly defined time horizon. Be sure to take into account all of your payments,
including loans, utilities and dry cleaning. If you pay for it monthly, it should be allocated in your budget. You can’t be too detailed. Most financially successful people are excellent financial planners. They have investment plans, loan repayment plans and a clear idea of how much time they need before they can purchase big-ticket consumer items. Helpful tip: Also be sure to budget for some kind of treat on a periodic basis. All work and no play often results in failure. While these rules seem fairly simple, they are a little like a diet – easy to start but tough to follow through. Despite popular opinion, material items will not bring you happiness. While it may not seem like it today, forgoing that purchase to save for your child’s education (or your retirement) may make you feel a lot better in the long run (despite what the commercials may lead you to believe). Until next time – happy home and mortgage hunting.

Lowrise prices hit another record high in strong year for GTA new home sales LOWRISE HOME PRICES achieved another record high, as strong demand for GTA new home sales resulted in the third-highest sales year in the past decade, according to the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). In 2015, there were 41,295 new homes purchased in the GTA, according to RealNet Canada Inc., BILD’s official source for new-home market intelligence. This is a two per cent increase over 2014, when 40,324 new homes were purchased. Total new ome sales in 2015 were up 13 per cent from the 10year average of 36,543. Over the last decade, only 2011 and 2007 recorded more new-home sales. In 2011, there were 46,304 new homes purchased, and in 2007 43,391. “This region continues to grow by up to 100,000 people and 50,000 jobs every year,” says BILD president and CEO Bryan Tuckey. “The home building and land development industry supports that growth by building quality complete communities so that people have places to live and work.” There were 21,658 new highrise condominium units purchased in 2015, down two per cent from 22,176 in 2014. However, the 2015
MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news
total is 11 per cent above the 10-year average of 19,457 units. On the lowrise side, 19,637 new homes – detached, semi-detached and townhomes – were purchased in 2015. This is up eight per cent from 2014 when 18,148 sales were recorded, and 15 per cent above the 10-year average of 17,085. Prices of new homes in the GTA reached new heights in 2015. The average price per square foot of new highrise homes hit a recordbreaking high of $584 at the end of 2015, a 5 per cent increase from December 2014 when the average was $557 per square foot. The average price of a new highrise condo unit in the GTA was $453,083 at the end of 2015, down from $454,476 the year prior. However, the slight price decrease was due to the size of units getting smaller. In December 2015, the average size of a new condo suite was 775 sq. ft., compared to the December 2014 average of 816 sq. ft. “The industry continues to find new and innovative ways to keep the
price of new homes within reach for first-time buyers,” Tuckey says. “By maximizing living space and reducing the overall suite size, our members successfully kept the average price of a highrise home stable over the last 12 months.” Meanwhile the average price of new lowrise homes reached $829,766 in December 2015, an all-time high and an 18-per-cent increase from a year ago when the average price was $705,813. The average price of a new singledetached home in the GTA is slightly less than $1 million – $991,156 – in December 2015, up 18 per cent from December 2014 when the average was $840,719. “The escalating price of new lowrise homes is a function of supply and demand,” says Tuckey. “While demand has remained strong, the GTA faces a constrained supply of new lowrise homes coming to market due to a lack of serviced developable land. This significantly affects housing choice for newhome buyers.”

Mattamy Homes becomes major partner with Cycling Canada MATTAMY HOMES, North America’s
largest privately owned home builder, has become a Tier 1 partner with Cycling Canada. Through a one-year partnership, Mattamy Homes will provide critical program funding for Canada’s National Track Cycling team as they prepare for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The support provided by Mattamy will help to deliver key resources such as technical services, sport science, logistical support as well as year-round accommodation for Canadian team athletes near the velodrome in Milton, the Mattamy National Cycling Centre. Mattamy and its founder and CEO Peter Gilgan played vital roles in the development and construction of the Mattamy National Cycling Centre, which hosted the Toronto 2015 Pan-American Games last July. The facility, Canada’s only UCIapproved 250-m indoor velodrome, is now the home training base for Canada’s National Track Cycling program and has become an invaluable asset for Canada’s cyclists as they target the World Championship and Olympic podium. “It takes passion and dedication to compete at the level that our national track cycling athletes do, and we’re very proud of all of them for their commitment,” says Gilgan. “To succeed it also takes financial support and access to world-class training and facilities. At Mattamy, we’re very pleased to be able to help and to continue to be associated with cycling excellence as we support our national team on their road to Rio.” Also on hand for the announcement was three-time Olympic medalist Curt Harnett, as well as six current members of the Canadian National Cycling Team.

The athletes are in Milton making their final preparations for the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, which will be held March 2 to 6 in London. “With the velodrome now in place it is fantastic to see the private sector partners once again stepping up to ensure that the athletes have the programs and resources required
to fully capitalize on the facility,” says Harnett. “Mr. Gilgan was a clear leader in the development of the velodrome and we’re very grateful for Mattamy’s leadership and support here once again.” “It’s going to be amazing when the first Canadian cyclists who train here realizes their Olympic dreams, whatever those might be,” says Gilgan.

4. Applied mouldings on white walls While wall paneling, crown and other decorative mouldings can be a very traditional element of a room’s design make up, I argue when juxtaposed against modern elements like a graphic area rug, and painted out a fresh white, applied mouldings can feel modern and edgy. I love using them in large-scale floor to ceiling panels as I did in my home gym.
5. Tufted furnishings Tufted sofas, chairs and ottomans are another classic element that have been made new again for 2016. For maximum impact, consider a tufted three-seat sofa with generous rolled arms. I also love the modern update with the metal detailing on the Saffron chair, available at Elte MKT. You can also bring home this trend in a small ottoman or dining chair.

6. Reclaimed wood While not a new trend, the look of ancient, weathered and worn wood continues to hold a strong presence in the market. Paired with solid wood legs like this table from Artemano, or with contemporary metal legs, bring home this trend with a dining table with a soul and a story.

Interior Design Show 2016: Small space furniture gets smarter
Menkes builds LEED Silver home in Halton Hills
By Sonia Bell This year’s Interior Design Show (IDS16) featured amazing new products, companies and trends on the horizon. One trend on the forefront is that smaller furniture is getting even smarter. Here are our top picks from IDS16. 1. Transforming furniture by Resource Furniture Resource Furniture’s booth showcased how much you can do with a small space, especially if you have furniture that can serve more than one purpose. Their multifunctional, transformable furniture includes a back wall that converts into a bed. Additionally, their Picnic Bellagio coffee table doubles as a sit-down table. With just one swift motion, a part of the table raises, creating a bench that seats two.

But imagine how useful they would be in a smallerthan-average bathroom; they take up less space, and have a modern ceiling-mounted faucet from Morpho. Put one of these in your bathroom, and you’re left with a lot more wiggle room.

Canada’s newest LEED Silver home in Halton Hills, in The Enclaves of Upper Canada, a community of 184 Energy Star homes currently under construction. Built as part of the Optimum Home program, the houses represent some of the most energy efficient homes in Ontario. Menkes recently celebrated the official ribbon cutting of its LEED Silver Certified home, along with Mayor Rick Bonnette of the Town of Halton Hills. LEED Canada certification identifies this home as a pioneering example of sustainable design and demonstrates Menkes’ leadership in transforming the building industry. “We are very proud to have built Halton’s first LEED Silver home, as well all the homes in The Enclaves of Upper Canada which are Energy Star homes” says Steven Menkes, president of lowrise residential, Menkes Developments. “The Energy Star label guarantees that when our customers make what may be the biggest purchases of their lives, they are not only buying homes that are both well-built and will save them
money, but also reducing their impact on the environment. Menkes has always strived to be a leader in environmentally responsible residential construction. We were incorporating energy conservation initiatives in our projects long before the current trend towards green development.“ The Optimum Home program, sponsored by Union Gas, involves top builders designing and building high performance homes that exceed the energy efficiency requirements of the building code. Optimum Homes are independently verified by a third party to be at least 20 per cent more energy efficient than the 2012 Ontario Building Code. The Enclaves of Upper Canada offers a wide selection of semi-links and fully detached homes. The LEED home includes an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) with an ECM fan motor that further saves electricity. The ERV also saves water. The two stage furnace maximizes comfort and at 95 plus efficiency saves more money. The air conditioner is 15 per cent more efficient than code.

BEFORE YOU GO new-home shopping, visit your bank, trust company or other financial institution to see what amount of mortgage you qualify for. Take your significant other, if you have one, because everyone’s income and assets help. Once you know how much you can borrow, secure the best rate you can and lock it in for as long a period as possible. Don’t be afraid to negotiate – the banks want and need your business. Don’t be afraid to shop around for rates and lock-in periods. You should also visit the condo sales centre armed with your knowledge and check what mortgage rate and term the builder is offering. Take note that the builder may have brought the rate down to make his package more attractive or forced his bank as part of his deal with them to offer special rates. Remember, if your bank’s offered rate and terms are close, you may be able to negotiate a better deal with the builder. If you do not take the builder’s mortgage you may be able to get some leverage in your overall negotiations as the builder may save money by not having to pay his bank for the better rate. Question this and make sure you understand all of the financing details. Regardless of where you go to get financing, get your commitment in writing! When you walk into that sales centre, all ready to buy that beautiful new condo, perhaps the most important piece of the puzzle you
need to have is security in your financial arrangements. A tragedy waiting to happen occurs when you sign an unconditional offer, give your hard-earned, harder-saved deposit to the builder and later find out you do not qualify for the mortgage. In other words, don’t buy the home unless you have a mortgage commitment or a conditional deal. This leads us into the next part of the discussion – what happens if your financing goes wrong? An Agreement of Purchase and Sale for the purchase of land is a legal contract, and once it is signed it binds both parties to certain obligations. If either party does not hold up to their end of the arrangement, they can be held liable to the other party for either specific performance or damages. Firstly, if the purchasers default, they will likely lose their deposit. The builder will then have the option of suing to force them to close the deal and pay
all legal fees related thereto, or sue them for any damages the builder might suffer before he resells the condo (for items such as interest, changes and price differential) and legal fees. Sometimes, in a booming market, kindhearted builders will release purchasers who have made a mistake or encountered personal tragedies. But don’t count on it! The moral of the story is to make sure you have financing, or that the offer is conditional for a few days on both financing and review by a lawyer. It is critical you get the right advice, and only a lawyer can provide legal advice. That is the law. When you select a lawyer, find one who cares about you and a long-term relationship.

from Jane Street on the west to Runnymede to the east, Bloor West Village is an older, well-established yet lively neighbourhood populated mostly by English-speaking families with higher incomes – and a notable Ukranian community. It’s a favourite west end locale for shopping and dining, with quality, older homes on the subway line. Vibe Being so close to High Park, many neighbourhood residents enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle on the go, and Bloor West Village has the sports shops and fitness options to serve them. Everyday shopping is an enjoyable stroll along Bloor Street, where you’ll find several fresh fruit and vegetable stands, coffee shops, banks, restaurants, pubs and just
about anything else you could want. Meet the Neighbours Ukranian heritage is celebrated at the Ukranian Festival every September – this year Sept. 18 to 20. Most housing is single-family homes, many built in the 1950s and 60s, followed by semi-detached as you move north from Bloor toward Dundas Street West. Note to renters: apartments are limited, so head east towards High Park for several mid- and highrises. In The Area Not the cheapest of neighbourhoods to buy in, but prevalence of singlefamily homes, proximity to the subway and High Park well… has its price.

and High Park – you can be downtown, or west to Kipling, in no time. For those who prefer to drive, the Queensway and the QEW are minutes away, and Bloor Street is always another option. Real Estate Primo location right on the subway line makes getting around a breeze, and bodes well for property values. Popularity of the area, and its proximity to High Park, means traffic is sometimes a headache – particularly as condo construction ramps up at Jane Street and further east at High Park.

LIVING IN
LAYERS
By Yanic Simard | Photo courtesy of CB2
1. Layering fabrics isn’t just for furniture. Rugs can look amazing layered too. I love adding a cowhide rug to tie together unusual furniture arrangements or punctuate the centre of a space. A sheepskin-style rug also makes a stylish accent to areas such as the edge of the bed, under a footstool, or even draped over a chair or bar stool for a softer seat. TIP: Layer rugs like crazy to get a patchwork quilt look that adds huge drama — mix five to seven smaller rugs in one room (check out the CB2 photo on this page for inspiration). Alternately, you can use carpet tiles to fake a large rug under your existing one, and fill in the edges of a room. 2. Copper, gold and brass bring a classic yet trendy style and warm undertones without feeling like an overly strong colour. If you’re timid (or already invested in silver), start small by layering these metals in with accents such as frames, tableware and lamps. The mix of silver and gold hues creates a subtle Art Decoinspired vibe, so there’s no reason not to sprinkle one in, while letting the other dominate. TIP: Bronze tealight votives reflect an extra warm glow. Line up three, five or seven (odd numbers work best) on a silvery tray or cart for a contrast statement and sparkling mood lighting. Bronze Rose Tealight Holder (see page 48); Talis Gold Hammered Platter (page 48). …continued on page 48

‹ 4‹ 3. Pillows are one of my favourite ways to add style — they can move from living room to bedroom and beyond, and dress a room up or down. Rather than picking dramatic new colours, grab some neutral but bold patterns that can layer behind your existing favourites for a more filled-in feel. TIP: For my YSS collection, I wanted a dash of liveable safari style, so I tamed a tiger print pillow in a warm tan and winter-white. An animal print like this adds unexpected drama standing alone on your dining chairs, or slinking between the sofa cushions. Safari Tiger Print Crewel Embroidered Square Cushion.
4. Lush textures are great for adding warmth to the eye and the hand. A sumptuous blanket, folded neatly at the end of a bed or tossed casually on a sofa, adds some interchangeable luxury and can move between rooms for new looks. TIP: Spread a blanket across the cushions of a sofa and tuck it in at the edges, for a noncommittal contrast-upholstery look. Above: Chevron Jacquard Cotton Throw; Aspen Deluxe Faux Fur Throw. 5. Don’t forget the vertical surfaces! An extra layer of drapery helps avoid heat loss through windows, so consider mixing a sheer layer with a
“Pillows are one of my favourite ways to add style — they can move from living room to bedroom and beyond, and dress a room up, or down.” heavy blackout-lined layer – you can keep your existing curtains and add a double rod. TIP: A lightly patterned inner sheer (try a tone-on-tone white) under a solid heavy drape draws the eye’s attention to the layered effect by adding drama to the background instead of the foreground.

And this isn’t just a case of a famous person thinking they can – DeGeneres has a great passion for design, and her book reveals that she’s more than just a dancing machine and humourous interviewer. In fact, she says she might have been an interior designer – had this whole celebrity thing not worked out. CHAPTERS.INDIGO.CA

Mattamy Homes in Oakville Delivers on some refreshing new choices in contemporary living OAKVILLE IS JUST ABOUT to welcome an intriguing variety
of modern living options. Mattamy’s Residences Of Creekshore Common – Oakville’s newest and arguably most desirable address – will soon open with some remarkable choices in boutique condo living plus upscale options in channel- and rear-lane townhomes. The neighbourhood amenities are well established and include an abundance of convenient shopping and dining nearby, many destinations within easy strolling distance. The community itself will feature scenic ponds and a creek, plus proximity to the charming Preserve Promenade.
Boutique condo elegance at The Residences of Creekshore Common The striking lines of the boutique condominium building promises modernity and doesn’t disappoint. The up-to-date appointments include an elegant, welcoming Lobby that makes returning home and greeting guests an event. Residents are invited to make full use of the Common Lounge that connects to a sublime

rooftop terrace that, in addition to its spectacular view, encourages all to cook out on the barbecues and mingle socially, if they desire. Naturally, a fully appointed fitness facility makes staying healthy and fit simple and convenient. Each condo suite thoughtfully includes many luxurious features as standard. A peek in through the generous floor-to-ceiling windows might reveal the superior hardwood flooring, nine-ft. ceilings throughout – combined with soaring 14-ft. ceilings on penthouse floor. Granite countertops are found in every kitchen, and ensuite baths are paired with double sinks. And stainless steel appliances are complemented by a stacked washer/dryer unit. All the modern conveniences in The Townhomes of Creekshore Common The Townhomes of Creekshore Common feature two-storey towns, plus channel- and rear lane-towns that themselves include an offering of hardwood and laminate flooring, granite kitchen countertops, stainless

steel appliances plus a white stacked washer/dryer unit. Executive townhomes to open in The Preserve Adding to the immense success in The Preserve, Mattamy will also soon open a new executive townhome collection. A limited number of these spacious townhomes are to be built within an exclusive enclave – some plans featuring a convenient main floor master bedroom. Sized from 2,536 to 2,959 sq. ft., these homes will boast grand, oversized Kitchens with islands and breakfast bars that open to expansive Great Rooms with gas fireplaces. You’ll find hardwood flooring throughout the main level, with waffle and tray ceiling designs in Great Rooms and master bedrooms. The homes will also offer walk-in closets, ensuites with double sinks and soaker tubs, plus large, luxurious glass showers. Second floor balconies also encourage homeowners to step out, sit back and enjoy their morning coffee.
Mattamy Homes is BILD’s six-time GTA Builder Of The Year As is the company’s nature, Mattamy created its new Oakville communities from consulting with their homeowners, addressing their real needs and desires. Not coincidentally, Mattamy was recently named the GTA Builder of the Year Award for an unprecedented 6th time by the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). Mattamy is particularly proud of this award, as it’s based on comments from current Mattamy homeowners. And the company remains adamant in its belief that is nothing better than a satisfied homeowner. Its intelligent and innovative approach to modern living will soon be on full display in Oakville. We recommend you go see for yourself what elegant living looks like today. For more information, visit mattamyhomes.com. Presentation centre hours are Monday to Thursday 1 to 8 p.m., Friday 1 to 6 p.m., Saturday, Sunday and holidays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
