Editors' Notes

Life events get you moving!

SUSAN LEGGE Editor-in-Chief / Director of Content Yellow Pages NextHome Email: Susan.Legge@ypnexthome.ca Twitter: @SusanLegge

The decision to move is often triggered by a life event, such as a new job or a new addition to the family, or simply because you want a change of scenery. Whatever the reason, it’s important to address what your new needs are before you start hunting for a new place – rather than during. With all of the information available to you these days, it’s easy to get distracted. To keep you on track and up to date on the latest listings available across Canada, check out this issue and our website, YPNextHome.ca. Not only will you find an easy way to connect with prospective properties, you’ll be able to dig deep on details such as such as costs, neighbourhood information and much more. Deciding to move is easy, it’s finding the right place that can sometimes be

The GTA is a great place to live – strong economy, expanding employment opportunities, outstanding cultural variety, countless entertainment and leisure options, improving infrastructure and amenities... the list goes on. Indeed, these are among the key attractions for the estimated 100,000 newcomers to the area every year. This increasing population, then, is the chief driver of housing demand in the GTA – first in rental housing, then eventually home purchases. This growth is great for existing homeowners, who likely have experienced value appreciation of their homes. For prospective

homebuyers, on the other hand, the net result is continually escalating home prices, making their entry into the market challenging, to say the least. Indeed, RBC Economics Research is the latest to point out a “rapid deterioration” in affordability. Builders are doing all they can to offer increasing options of housing types and price points. Interest rates, too, are doing their part by remaining at historical lows. But with prices continuing to climb, and interest rates to eventually rise as well, buyers should be careful not to overstep their bounds, and purchase only what they can truly afford.

Vote for the GTA’s project of the year By Bryan Tuckey

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

EVERY YEAR, WE RECOGNIZE

innovation and excellence in the land development and homebuilding industry through our annual BILD Awards program. In April we will present 48 awards to members who are raising the bar in the marketing, designing, planning and building of communities across the GTA. Our awards program also has an extra special accolade – the People’s Choice Award. It recognizes the best new home development project of the year in the GTA and the winner is chosen by the public through an online voting process. You can cast your vote at bildpca. ca until April 6. The website features the full list of finalists, project names and locations, the builders, a short description and images. The eight projects vying for the title were shortlisted from the BILD Awards finalists in the Mid/High-Rise Project of the Year and Low-Rise Project of the Year categories. Projects range from a townhouse development in Toronto’s Queen West neighbourhood that is appealing to millennials, to a highrise building with lobbies designed by a fashion icon, to a premier four-season resort on Lake Simcoe. Competing for the title of People’s Choice is the Art Shoppe Lofts and Condos, a 28-storey building by Freed Developments and Capital Development with lobbies designed by fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld at Yonge Street and

Eglinton Avenue. Another finalist is East United Condos by Signature Communities, which will bring 289 new homes including townhomes to King and Berkeley Streets. The nine-storey J. Davis House by Mattamy Homes and Biddington pays homage to the history of Davisville Village and the Lighthouse Tower at Daniels Waterfront – City of the Arts by The Daniels Corporation is a 45-storey building designed with unique artistic aspects inside and out. Also vying for the title are 35 Wabash, a new four-storey building in Toronto’s Roncesvalles community by Zinc Developments and a townhome community by Great Gulf Homes called Brockton Commons that appeals to millennials in the Queen West neighbourhood. Simcoe County’s new four-season resort Friday Harbour by Geranium Corporation and Pemberton Group is another finalist and so is Kennedy Manors, a development including

132 town manor homes by Kylemore Communities’ near Unionville’s historical Main Street. This is your chance to weigh in on the best new development in the GTA. Go to bildpca.ca to choose the project you think should win the People’s Choice Award this year. The winner will be announced at BILD Awards on April 28. Don’t forget that the National Home Show is on now until March 20 at the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place. BILD is proud to bring you the Show, co-located again with Canada Blooms again this year to make it North America’s largest home and garden event. Tickets can be purchased online at nationalhomeshow.com 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

37 startling facts about Toronto real estate By Wayne Karl

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

FULL DISCLOSURE: there aren’t really

37 startling facts about Toronto real estate. But there is one very, very startling number when it comes to homebuying in Canada’s largest housing market – 37. That number is the average age for first-time homebuyers in Toronto. Yes, thirty-seven. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. dropped this little tidbit at its 2016 Housing Outlook Conference in Toronto recently. And while it might be an exaggeration to say the audience gasped when hearing this new fact, there was definitely an audible reaction from the crowd of builders, realtors, lenders and others in the industry. “I know, it’s a shock, right?” Dana Senagama, principal market analyst for the GTA at CMHC, told New Home Guide. She clarifies that that figure applies to the Toronto CMA, which does not include Burlington or Oshawa. “It’s a fairly mature age, but I don’t think it should come as any great surprise… mid-30s, by the time you’ve gone to college, paid off your debts and gotten married and thinking about settling, down… But, yeah, it’s getting up there.” Just how much it’s “getting up there” is even more startling when you compare it to the national number – which, according to various sources, comes in closer to

29. One estimate suggests two-thirds of first-time buyers in Canada are younger than 35, and almost half are between 25 and 34. What’s responsible for the disparity? The tremendous price growth in Toronto real estate. According to the latest House Price Survey from Royal LePage, the average price of a home in Toronto in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $624,923, up 7.2 per cent from $583,023 in the fourth quarter of 2014. (In comparison, and to Senagama’s point regarding Oshawa, the average price in that market for the same period was $361,825, up 7.8 per cent from $335,571.) Prices for new homes are even less welcoming for first-timers in Toronto. The average price of new townhomes, semi-detached and detached homes in the GTA in January was $822,926, according to RealNet Canada Inc. Highrises are clearly more in the range for first-time buyers. The average price for new condos in January 2016 was $449,199, off just one per cent from December 2015.

“Just because the prices are high in Toronto, doesn’t mean that choice doesn’t exist,” says Senagama. “It just means that you may have to compromise in your location and the type of house you want to purchase. “If you’re thinking of downtown Toronto, given the current house prices, especially in lowrise, even a town (home), prices may be out of reach for the typical first-time buyer. But condos are out there, the price point is significantly lower than lowrise. You do have choice.” First-time buyers intent on buying a lowrise home may want to look outside the city, she says. “Look in Peel region, in areas like Milton and Halton, or in the Durham region, particularly Whitby and Oshawa and those areas.” Wayne Karl is an award-winning writer and editor with experience in real estate and business. In Fundamentally Speaking, Wayne explores the basics – such as economic fundamentals – you need to examine when buying property.

Great Gulf reaches new heights Builder raises almost $100K for prostate cancer awareness GREAT GULF participated in Prostate

Cancer Canada’s Step Up Challenge, presented by Scotiabank over the last few weeks, climbing Canada’s tallest skyscrapers in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver and raised more than $94,000 setting an unprecedented Toronto record. “I can’t begin to thank you enough for your work in taking on this challenge and helping us raise more than $94,000 of the $600,000 total funds raised. We are absolutely thrilled to have your support and because of your enthusiasm and commitment, we can continue to fund important research to improve the lives of those affected by prostate cancer,” says Christopher Wein, president Great Gulf and National Chair Prostate Cancer Canada’s Step Up Challenge 2016. “Participating in the climb with committed teams in all three cities was truly overwhelming and inspiring.” “The Step Up challenge is an excellent way to bring people together to work toward a common goal,” says Rocco Rossi, president & CEO of Prostate Cancer Canada. “Not only did everyone who participated demonstrate great team spirit and physical wellbeing, but they also did their part for cancer research by raising vital awareness and funds for the one in eight Canadian men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.” Prostate Cancer is the most

commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian men. Last year brought an estimated 24,000 diagnoses across the country, and 4,100 deaths. Men should talk to their doctor about screening for prostate cancer. A Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test is an early option when assessing personal risk. The PSA test is a simple blood test, taken from your arm, which measures the amount of prostate antigen in your blood. PCC recommends men get a PSA test in their 40s to establish their baseline. Before taking the test, as part of the shared and informed decision making process, men should discuss the potential benefits and limitations of the test with their primary care provider.

MEET OUR HERO

VICTORIA VICTORIA’S FAMILY CALLS THEMSELVES THE UNLUCKY, LUCKY ONES. After four-year-old Victoria fell down the stairs, she was lucky to have a successful surgery at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and incredible support from her family and SickKids staff by her side. Prior to the incident, Victoria was a healthy child. She was happy with her daily routine - going to her grandparents’ house with her brother, Alexander, until her mom, Evelyn, came to pick her up from work. One evening, Victoria suddenly collapsed out of her uncle’s arms and fell down the stairs at her grandparents’ house. After she started vomiting at her grandparents’ house, Evelyn called the paramedics to take her to SickKids. The emergency room ordered an immediate CT scan and an MRI the next morning for a closer look. The scans revealed a brain tumour, later diagnosed as a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (JPA), even though Victoria never experienced any symptoms prior to her fall. JPA’s are one of the most common childhood tumour, but are usually identified following symptoms like headaches, vomiting and difficulty with muscle coordination. Luckily, SickKids houses one of Canada’s largest paediatric neurosurgical units specializing in treating children affected by brain and spinal cord illnesses such as brain tumours. Two weeks after the incident, on February 25, 2014, Victoria had surgery to remove the tumour. During

the surgery, doctors found a cyst above the tumour, which they also successfully removed. Although Evelyn and her husband, Peter’s journey at SickKids was scary, Victoria seems to associate the hospital with chocolate milk. While fasting on the morning of surgery, she asked her dad if she could have some, but he told her the chocolate milk cow was still sleeping. Only five hours later, Victoria woke up in the Intensive Care Unit and asked for the chocolate milk, her mind sharp as ever. From when she fell until she went into surgery, Evelyn and Peter were concerned and had many unanswered questions about their daughter’s condition. “The support system at SickKids was incredible. Sometimes the doctors would answer our sudden questions within minutes over email,” Evelyn said. Since the surgery, Victoria visited SickKids six weeks later for a check-up. Since she has made a full recovery, she only needs to visit SickKids every six months for follow up appointments. Evelyn describes Victoria’s fall as one of the scariest moments of her life. Although Victoria’s condition was bad luck for the family, the successful surgery and recovery along with the supportive staff at SickKids shows how lucky they really are.

WHY SICKKIDS? 1

Between 400 and 500 Canadian children are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year. SickKids will treat approximately 150 of them.

In 2014, SickKids researchers identified the reason why ependymoma, a brain tumour affecting babies and toddlers, is resistant to chemotherapy.

BUILDERS HELPING TO HEAL Yellow Pages NextHome, the publisher of New Home Guide, New Home & Condo Guide and New Condo Guide, is teaming up with builders and their suppliers to help raise money for SickKids. The following companies have contributed generously to help give children the worldclass care they deserve. These pages honour these special people, and we thank them for their generous support.

Leaders, a program at SickKids which draws on the support of more than 150 volunteers over 30 industry sectors.

Builders Helping to Heal and Friends of the Industry are Yellow Pages NextHome initiatives stemming from SickKids

Again, we thank our generous sponsors and appreciate their ongoing commitment. These companies not only build housing, but they support the families in the communities in which they build.

Mattamy Homes in the northwest GTA ALREADY HOME TO MORE than 1,000

happy families, Mattamy’s SouthFields is already recognized as an awardwinning master-planned community. The town of Caledon, while still primarily natural and unaffected, is close to the city for those who commute or are often tempted by the draw of urban activities. The big city is a mere 30-minutes away by car. This remarkably beautiful Caledon neighbourhood invites those who wish to participate in community groups, seasonal events and of course, many varieties of sport and recreation. The company continues to offer homeowners the opportunity to personalize design in order to

accommodate specific needs or wishes. Called Architect’s Choice Options, these are professionally designed structural changes that allow you to personalize your home to suit any individuals wants and needs. The exteriors and streetscapes in SouthFields offer variety in both design and materials, which gives the community unexpected freshness and visual appeal. The sense of community has been designed into Mattamy’s neighbourhood. You’ll discover an abundance of community parks, a park-side pond that transforms into a winter skating rink, plus hiking, biking and walking trails that connect to the Etobicoke Creek Trail. As well, the

SouthFields Village Public School is a delightful stroll away. A Village Centre is underway in SouthFields proper, which will offer local services and convenient shopping. A fully established region of its own, Caledon supplies it residents with no shortage of fine shopping and dining with access to modern necessities like the William Osler Health Centre, plus farmers markets, quaint Caledon stores and a host of other professional services. The 43-ft. detached homes in Mattamy’s SouthFields start from $729,990. Now available in Brampton’s Mount Pleasant North – an inspiring range of 30-, 38- & 45-ft. detached homes from $499,990. It’s clear, the whole of Mount Pleasant North offers a standing invitation to get out and get around. That’s because the design premise aimed to build a community that was fully connected to everything a modern family would need nearby. The design

brief was to create a place where the most common needs of modern living could be accessed in a fiveminute walk. Typical of Mattamy, the community is laced with walking and biking trails that generously fulfill the neighbourhood’s promise. From the moment you arrive in this established community, you’ll discover a community hub in the form of a neighbourhood skating right in the Village Square. Designed to delight throughout the four seasons, the pool will transform in the coming springtime into a shimmering reflecting pool. Mount Pleasant North remains one of the more popular communities in Brampton, with intriguing streetscapes, varied home styles, and neighbourhood features all radiating from the central Village Square that itself offers local shopping, a library and a recreation centre. For those who work elsewhere, a bonus is a dedicated GO Station that leads straight into the city. And all of this is an easy walk from your front door. This is a community that keeps

you involved and connected to all of its wonderful features and lifestyle options. Mattamy has always insisted that there’s nothing better than a satisfied homeowner. Named the GTA Builder of the Year Award – for an unprecedented sixth time – by the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), Mattamy is particularly proud of this award as it’s based on reports from current Mattamy homeowners. As well, Mattamy was just named the Energy Star Builder of the Year, Large Volume Builder, for its leadership in environmentally responsible building practices. 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. Model home hours are Monday to Thursday 1 to 7:30 p.m.; Friday 1 to 5:30 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday and holidays 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information on all Mattamy communities visit: mattamyhomes.com MAR 19 - APR 2, 2016 | NEW HOME GUIDE 35

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

How to take advantage of lower mortgage rates By Alyssa Richard

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

SPRING AND SUMMER are nearly here. It’s often the time when more people are shopping for a home and when banks start to offer more competitive mortgage rates. But if you already own a home, how can you take advantage of lower rates? You can break your mortgage and refinance it at a lower rate, but there are pros and cons of doing this.

Advantages There are a number of benefits of refinancing your mortgage, including: » Lower payments/interest costs: A lower interest rate on your mortgage could mean your payments will be lower and you’ll also likely pay less in total interest than had you kept your current rate. Try ratehub.ca’s mortgage refinance calculator to estimate what your savings could be. » Pay off your mortgage faster: If you’re making more money than when you bought your home, you may decide you want to pay off your mortgage at a faster pace. You could do that by shortening your amortization period. » Access home equity: If you’re considering purchasing an investment property or renovating part of your home, you can access the equity in your home (that’s the value of your property minus your mortgage balance) to help pay for either. » Consolidate debt: If you have any other debt, such as a credit card balance, a car loan, or a line of

credit, you can consolidate it into your mortgage. By consolidating your debt, you’ll pay less interest and you’ll probably have lower monthly payments on top of a lower interest rate. Still, you’ll have the same level of debt. Disadvantages Before deciding whether or not to break your mortgage, you should be aware that while there’s a potential to save a lot of money, there are also costs involved: » Mortgage prepayment penalty: If you have a variable-rate mortgage, you’ll only have to pay three months’ interest. But if you have a fixed-rate mortgage, your prepayment penalty is the greater of three months’ interest or the interest rate differential (IRD). To determine the IRD, lenders look at the mortgage rate you have currently, the number of months left in your term, the rate they could charge you for a new mortgage term similar in length to the remainder of your term. You can estimate the penalty you’d have to pay using ratehub.ca’s mortgage penalty calculator. » Mortgage discharge fee: If you decide to use a different lender, you’ll have to pay a fee to discharge your mortgage from your current lender.

Lenders set their own fees, which can vary by province. These fees are typically in the $200 to $350 range. » Mortgage registration fee: You have to pay a mortgage registration fee whether you’re staying with or leaving your current lender. Your lender removes the current mortgage amount from the title on your home and re-registers it with a new mortgage amount. This fee is usually around $70. » Legal fees: You’ll have to consult with a real estate lawyer when refinancing your mortgage. He or she will check your mortgage’s terms and conditions, register your new mortgage, and do a title search to ensure there aren’t any liens against your home. Legal fees for refinancing your mortgage can be in the $700 to $1,000 range. But if your mortgage balance is more than $200,000 and you want to switch lenders, your new lender may pay these fees. While large lenders may soon start offering lower rates and you could pay less if you break your mortgage, it’s best to do some research to find out whether or not you’ll benefit. Alyssa Richard is the founder and CEO of ratehub.ca, a mortgage rate comparison site that aims to empower Canadians to make smart financial decisions.

SPRING will breathe new life

into new home design

Bright, modern colour punctuates this powder room designed by Jane Lockhart Interior Design.

AS DAYS BECOME longer and the warmth starts to thaw through the winter ice and snow, trends in new home design are starting to emerge. Spring is a time of new hope, growth and purpose, and that is also evident in design. Right now, there are brighter more vibrant colours, daring art and accessories and a shift in the “rules.” Natural elements still play as large a role as they did in the autumn and winter, but this time they are less structured and more abstract. This spring brings a large shift from the traditional in terms of room layout. We are seeing a blur in the lines of each specific room in new home designs. This also impacts the tasks associated with that space that generally predict how we design. For example, wine fridges are popping up all over the house. New this season is a sleeker built-in design in the bedroom and dining room. Mini fridges have undergone a makeover and their newer elegant form can now be found in bedrooms or family rooms to make access to a drink and snack easier. Built-in coffee makers are now seeking a home in the master ensuite or bedroom. Along with this movement, there is a progression of mirrored cabinets and vanities leaving the bathroom. They have begun popping up throughout the home as well. These are great because in addition to hidden storage space, they add outlets too. The installation of inwall mirrored cabinets is now in …continued on page 44

The natural inﬂuences are still strong this season, but more raw and abstract then we have seen in the past. Now woods have unfinished edges in both dining and coffee tables. The colours are earthier, giving the impression of natural surfaces. These are combined with very modern lines and brighter colours to create a beautiful juxtaposition when mixed together. The end of winter is often met

with excitement, colour and new styles in interior design. This year is no different. Colour is a strong player with less defined spaces and a nod to raw nature. Remember, this does not mean to reinvent your style, but introduce the pieces you love and mix them with your current style. The only thing that matters is that you love your space!

HOME BUILDERS recognized for BUILDING GREEN

ENERQUALITY HAS ANNOUNCED THE 2015

EnerQuality Award winners, builders committed to producing energy efficient and sustainable homes. The Energy Star for New Homes Builder of the Year - Large Volume award was given to Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest home builder, which earned the achievement for the third time. Mattamy Homes was one of the first builders to participate in the Energy Star program, which has become the most successful green building program in Canada. Today, 32 per cent of all new homes built in Ontario are Energy Star qualified. Two Oshawa based builders walked the Green carpet. Midhaven Homes received the Energy Star for New Homes - Mid Volume award, and Jeffery Homes received the Energy Star for New Homes Small/Custom award. The Minto Group was awarded Ontario Green Builder of the Year for a second year in a row. The award is presented annually to a builder that raises the bar for the rest of the industry through its leadership in improving the environmental, energy efficiency and overall image of the industry. Reid’s Heritage Homes took home the inaugural Net Zero Builder of the Year award. Net Zero homes are energy self-sufficient and are designed to produce at least as much power as they consume. Reid’s Heritage Homes was also the recipient of the Building Innovation - Lowrise award, and the Best Green Marketing Campaign of the Year, for their efforts to educate homebuyers. Tridel, the largest builder of condominiums in the Toronto area, was awarded the inaugural award for Building Innovation – Mid- and Highrise. The award recognizes technical excellence in energy efficient and Green building practices, which is key to achieving more sustainable communities. Andy Goyda, Canadian Builder Lead and Market Development Manager for Owens Corning Canada

was inducted into the EnerQuality Hall of Fame. The award is presented to an individual who, over the course of their career, has made a lasting impact on energy efficiency and Green building in the housing industry. Goyda has been influential in the residential industry for 40 years, including his pioneering support of Energy Star for New Homes and Net Zero. His leadership has helped Ontario’s home building industry become the most energy efficient in Canada. Sonja Winkelmann, director of Net Zero Energy Housing for the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, was recognized as EQ Leader of the Year. “Ontario’s home building industry has a commendable track record of creativity and innovation,” says Corey McBurney, president of EnerQuality, “Energy Star for New Homes is a success story that all Ontarians should be proud of, proving that voluntary, builder-led initiatives work.” The awards show followed the EnerQuality Housing Innovation Forum, where a sold out audience discussed the future of Green building in Ontario. In the closing keynote conversation, Dr. Diane Saxe, Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, and Peter Gilgan, founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes and member of Ontario’s Climate Action Group, discussed the future of home building in light of Ontario’s new Climate Change Strategy. Also returning to the forum this year was the Innovation Gauntlet – a Dragon’s Den-style competition where industry manufacturers and organizations pitched their smartest, most innovative products and services to a panel of judges. The Innovation Gauntlet award, chosen live by the audience, was presented to LiteBuilt for its concrete “LITEBOK” building system – an environmentally friendly, interlocking building block that is ideal for taller buildings. …continued on page 46 MAR 19 - APR 2, 2016 | NEW HOME GUIDE 45

Title insurance: What it is, and why you need it By Jayson Schwarz

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

TITLE INSURANCE provides comprehensive insurance coverage for title-related risks associated with home buying, like zoning issues, claims of mental incapacity, lack of up-to-date survey, and the legal services provided by your lawyer like title certification. It insures against defects in title, which may occur from conflicting ownership claims, liens, undischarged mortgages and consents. It will cover compliance and access issues like work orders, permit violations, fences, boundaries, tenancies and rights of way. It is in force so long as the purchaser or his heirs own the property, and will outlive the lawyers’ certification, whose insurance stops if they die or cease practicing law. So what happens when there’s a problem with the purchase? The insurer will pay out in accordance with the policy or, if possible, repair the defect. Title insurance protects from vendors that won’t re-adjust or misrepresent things like real estate taxes paid, and again, remains in effect as long as you own the property. In addition, lawyers’ insurance is time-of-incident related, which in plain English means if your lawyer dies, retires or stops practice and you subsequently make a claim, you’re not covered. We have all read and heard about mortgage and title fraud, where unscrupulous people put fake mortgages on properties or

“Title insurance protects from vendors that won’t re-adjust or misrepresent things like real estate taxes paid, and again, remains in effect as long as you own the property.” sell houses they do not own. Title insurance indemnifies you against these occurrences. Another benefit of title insurance is it saves you money. Disbursements – money paid to third parties for items like building compliance letters, subdivision compliance letters and deed registration – are lower. We estimate $200 to $300 on a deal after the cost of the policy. Almost all of Ontario is now on an electronic registry system. Title insurance has become the norm and many of the transactions are done by computer communications. Make sure the lawyer you select has taken title insurance courses, is familiar with Terranet, and can properly advise you. The Law Society passed a rule that every lawyer on a residential real estate deal must advise the client of title insurance, the different companies offering it, and how it works.

Every lawyer has an obligation to make you aware of your title insurance options, so you can choose which way you want to go. Think through your options carefully and choose wisely. 4 reasons why title insurance is better than lawyers’ insurance through Law Pro: » gives better coverage as to the quality of your ownership than a lawyer’s insurance » lasts forever, where lawyers don’t » saves $300 to $400 in disbursements » protects from mortgage and title fraud

Neighbourhood Profile

Deer Park The perfect place to enjoy a live-work-play lifestyle By Sohini Bhattacharya

In the area Yonge Street is Deer Park’s entertainment, business and commercial lifeline, and conveniences abound. Retail staples around the Yonge and St. Clair hub are coupled with banking conveniences, shopping centres, dining and more. Recreational options such as Oriole Park, Rosehill Reservoir Park and David Balfour Park are perfect for joggers and walkers. Planes, trains & automobiles

DEER PARK CHECKS all three boxes

of the real estate mantra — location, location, location. It is bounded by the Beltline Trail to the north with Avenue Road and Oriole Parkway to the west, Farnham Avenue to the south, enclosed by the Vale of Avoca, Alvin Avenue, Glen Avenue and Yonge Street to the east. Lifestyle This was once a grazing meadow for deer, and in 1837 the Heath family named it Deer Park. Since then, it has metamorphosed into a quiet, tree-lined residential area with eastern arteries that spill into the commercially active and bustling life of the Yonge Street corridor. This is the perfect place to enjoy a livework-play lifestyle. Vibe With nightlife, restaurants, pampering

services and trendy shops within walking distance, this neighbourhood is a blend of old and new, the uber rich and the aspiring. Skyscrapers, like the Imperial Oil building and the Wittington Tower, are comfortably contrasted by church facades, sprawling school compounds, parkettes, public art installations, ravines and manicured cemeteries. One also never loses sight of the CN Tower in the cityscape. Meet the neighbours The past home to a handful of artists such as Glenn Gould, Margaret Avison and Joy Fielding, Deer Park presents an eclectic and diverse mix. Residents are upwardly mobile families or whitecollared single young professionals with lofty incomes. This area also has a healthy elderly population of 65 years and older.

A commuter’s dream, area amenities are extensive. Most amenities are a five- to ten-minute walk away so running errands, quite literally, is the best here. The St. Clair subway station is located in the heart of Yonge and St. Clair, and streetcars carry commuters along St. Clair Avenue West. TTC buses ply regularly as well. Downtown Toronto is just 15 minutes away by car. The good, the bad & the rest The area offers all the luxuries of suburbia, mixed with a good dose of a bustling city life, surrounded by swatches of beautiful lush greens. Real estate Average home prices in Deer Park commence at $1.5 million, while rents for bachelor suites start at $1,000. Grocery prices range from moderate to upscale. Affordable dining options range from $5 to $25 per person thanks to the area pubs, burger joints, and Chinese and Indian takeout places.

Advice | TARION REPORT

Building a custom home? Insist on a proper contract By Howard Bogach

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

TO MANY NEW-HOME BUYERS, the opportunity to build a custom home is the dream of a lifetime. You own the land, choose the builder, and have so much more flexibility when it comes to deciding the style, the layout and the finishes. In fact, every last detail can have your personal stamp. If you are lucky enough to find yourself embarking on this dream, start the journey with a written contract. Never accept, settle or seal the deal with just a handshake – make sure you get off to the right start by protecting yourself properly from the very beginning. Like most new homes in Ontario, contract homes are usually covered under warranty. This warranty is provided by your builder and backed by Tarion. It includes financial loss of up to $40,000 if your builder fails to substantially complete the home, in addition to three separate construction warranties after you move into your home for defects in workmanship, violations to the Ontario Building Code and major structural damage. We recently dealt with a tragic story of a woman who failed to secure a written agreement and found herself defrauded of money – after the builder knocked down her old house. So, please take this advice, before you make any concrete decisions about your new home or spend any money, make sure that you’ve taken steps to protect yourself, including:

1. Use a registered builder New home builders in Ontario must register with Tarion. We regularly review their technical competence and financial viability to build homes. So, before you choose your builder, check the Ontario Builder Directory at tarion.com to make sure they are registered. If your builder is not listed in this directory beware! They may by building illegally! 2. Make sure your contract is in writing When the only agreement in place between you and a new home builder is a handshake, you have no way to prove what was agreed upon if that agreement every falls apart. Protect yourself right from the start by making sure your agreement is a proper written contract, ideally created or at least reviewed by a lawyer. The contract should also be as specific as possible about the work that will be done. 3. Include a schedule of payments A good contract will include a schedule of payments. The schedule should outline when you are going to provide funds to your builder, how much, and what for. If your builder does not fulfill the requirements outlined in your contract, Tarion will

be able to determine how much you should have paid for the stage your home is currently in. 4. Hire a lawyer to review your contract As noted above, once you have a verbal agreement with your new home builder, take it to an experienced real estate lawyer to be written into a binding contract. At the very least, have a lawyer review your written agreement to ensure that it protects you if the relationship with your builder turns badly. Building a custom home is very exciting, especially if it is the dream home you’ve been working, saving and waiting so long for. To protect yourself, don’t allow your emotions to rush you blindly into a flawed agreement or worse, no agreement. You may have many choices ahead of you when it comes to realizing the dream of a custom home, but a solid contract is not one of them – consider it a must, not a choice. Howard Bogach is President and CEO of Tarion Warranty Corp. His column appears monthly in New Home Guide.

Sarah Richardson: Luxury is in the eye of the beholder By Elisa Krovblit

Sarah Richardson has one of the most recognizable names in the design world. Room Service. Design Inc. Sarah’s Cottage. Sarah’s House. Sarah 101. Real Potential. These HGTV programs have brought Sarah into the living rooms of people around the world for more than 10 years. New Home Guide caught up with Sarah to ask her a few things about luxury. Sarah Richardson’s top affordable luxuries: 1. Stealing some quiet time on a weekend afternoon beside a crackling fire to dive into a new issue of a design magazine with my feet up while I’m covered in a cozy throw (I’m adding some beautiful loomed cotton throws to my product line for early summer). 2. A steaming hot giant Nespresso latte in a mug that was hand painted by one of our daughters. Beautiful form mixed with great function has made me the owner of a Nespresso in every kitchen; work and home, city and country. 3. Thoughtfully made and passionately crafted decorative arts. In every room of our house there are sentimental handmade pieces that are sculpturally beautiful but not necessarily decadent or expensive. Investing in pretty little affordable luxuries and supporting talented artisans makes me happy.

Nova Scotia’s Fox Harb’r Resort retains tcgpr and McQuat Partnership

FOX HARB’R RESORT IN NOVA SCOTIA (FOXHARBR.COM) has retained tcgpr

A five-star luxury destination resort on Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Coast, Fox Harb’r is a two-hour scenic drive from Halifax and Moncton. With its own private Jetport 5,000-ft. airstrip, the Resort is about a twohour flight from Toronto, Montreal, New York and Boston. Said Fox Harb’r Resort owner Ron Joyce, who is the co-founder of Tim Hortons, “In 1987, when I first saw this marvelous property, I thought, this should be a national park. Five hours later, I became the lucky owner of 1,100 acres of wilderness on the water, with six kilometres of ruggedly beautiful oceanfront shoreline. I decided to build something outstanding, to give back to the community because Tatamagouche, just down the road, is my home town.” Well-known for its Graham Cooke-designed 18-hole Championship golf course and executive nine-hole par three golf course, its spa and deep sea marina, Fox Harb’r has two popular restaurants – The Great Room (fine dining) and The Willard (casual dining). Another amenity is the 25-acre Vineyard a Fox Harb’r. Homeowners will also have a section of the vineyard, where each will have a row mast head and be able to partake in the growing and harvesting of the grapes, plus have an opportunity to have a specific estate bottling labeled for themselves, says Toth. The resort also sports world-class clay shooting facilities. “We’re known as the finest clay shooting facility in Canada where we’ll host four world class events this year,” says Toth.
