//EDITOR’S NOTE
Think you can’t afford a home? It’s likely more affordable than you first thought

uch like that bank commercial that says, “You’re richer than you think,” a new home may be more affordable than you originally thought. Perhaps you need only to change your definition of “home” to get into the market. While a detached home is the traditional choice for many, highrise and lowrise suites, lofts and townhomes have become a prime choice among first-time buyers and empty nesters in the market for new place to call home. Not only does townhouse and condominium living afford you the opportunity to live in a prime neighbourhood at a great starting price, when it’s time to move you can often opt
to remain in the same neighbourhood, since many communities offer a mix of designs and sizes, which allows families to relocate easily without having to change jobs or schools. Today’s communities generally have a range of sizes and prices that start at the “affordable” end of the price spectrum. Many builders and developers are gearing up for their grand openings and have new communities available for quick occupancy. It’s an exciting time to be shopping for a new place, so don’t miss this excellent buying opportunity. Have a look through this issue and see what you think. The home of your dreams is waiting.
Preparing for busy season After a harsh winter, healthy conditions have GTA real estate primed for a feverish spring

other Nature clearly is a tough nut. At time of writing – mid-April, no less – temperatures were only just now beginning to warm up in the GTA. Indeed, an unusually harsh winter has already delayed the start of the spring real estate season in some markets, while low inventory is leading to significant price increases in areas where supply isn’t keeping pace with demand. Meanwhile, an improving economy in Ontario is leading to growing consumer confidence, creating a strong foundation for residential real estate growth.
Spring can’t come soon enough, in more ways than one. Also at press time – the day before the Bank of Canada’s April 15 interest rate announcement – mortgage rates remain at historically low levels. Collectively, these conditions are producing a bit of a perfect storm of opportunity for homebuyers in Ontario. The new home market also stands to benefit. Demand is high and supply in some areas and housing types may be limited, but for buyers who are well financed, well prepared and ready to act fast, new home purchases this spring will likely prove to be wise decisions.
With four different communities in the GTA, Paradise Developments has something for everyone.

Homeownership is a universal concept that symbolizes success and prosperity. It’s one of the reasons up to 100,000 people choose to make the GTA their home every year. But there’s a significant difference between buying new and buying resale, with new homes holding a number of advantages on several key fronts. First and foremost, new homes offer purchasers complete customization from a myriad of designs, patterns and finishes. Condo purchasers can choose how high up they want to live while those buying ground-related homes can even select the homes’ exterior. Things like flooring, cabinetry or countertops come in a variety of packages displayed in the sales centres, allowing purchasers to invest their money in whatever works best for them. It’ll all be there for the day they move in. Another distinct advantage of buying is the fact that what you see is what you get. A new-home buyer doesn’t have to worry about unwelcome surprises because the homes are built from the ground up, customized and are protected by a Tarion warranty. All new homes built in the GTA today must abide by the strict regulations of the Ontario Building Code, which is updated every five years with the latest standards, specifications and energy efficiency requirements. The materials are all brand new, which means the caulking in your bathroom won’t break down in a year’s

time, nor will the windows need to be replaced. This doesn’t mean that your home is indestructible as it still needs to be cared for. What it does mean, is that with proper maintenance, you’ll be able to enjoy your new home for years to come. I am proud to say that many of the homes built by BILD members not only meet strict requirements, but often exceed them. This is particularly true when it comes to building Green – 32 per cent of all new homes built in Ontario last year were Energy Star qualified, which translates into significant savings on homeowners’ monthly utility bills. It’s worth pointing out that many of these homes have won provincial, national and international awards in design, planning and customer service. Our members employ internationally renowned architects and designers, as well as a variety of local talent. New homes in the GTA rival some of the best in the world!

What’s in a new-home warranty? » by 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. He can be reached at

What’s in your new-home warranty? Ideally, that’s a question you’ll never have to answer for real – at least not the hard way, be it fi ling a complaint or, worse, proceeding to a claim settlement. But, life is sometimes not fair, and despite the best intentions of home builders, things do go wrong. To put it nicely – stuff happens. Indeed, according to Tarion Warranty Corp., nearly every new home built has some form of defect. Such is life when you’re building outside, dealing with the elements and working with natural materials. In most cases, issues get resolved, and builders large and small are getting better at responding to customer concerns. Still, there are unscrupulous – or worse, illegal – builders that try to circumvent everything from relatively minor registration fees to taxes, all under the guise of “saving you money.” But when there’s a problem or issue that needs to be resolved, good luck. That’s why it’s important to ensure your new home builder is registered with Tarion – to provide the peace of mind that Tarion is backing the warranty, as well as to learn what parts of your new home are covered, for how long, and what the steps and procedures are. BECAUSE STUFF DOES, INDEED, HAPPEN. TYPICAL EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING, A TOP 10 LIST OF FIRST-YEAR CLAIMS:
» » » » » » » » » »
Paint: inadequate application or coverage Doors: improperly installed or finished Floors: Damaged, cracked or installed with gaps Drywall: Blemishes on walls, ceilings or corners Stairs/steps: Inadequately built Water/moisture: Moisture inside the home Concrete: Cracking Baseboards: Improperly installed Trims: Improperly installed or finished Cabinets/vanities: Improperly installed or finished
You can understand how prevalent such “defects” would be in new homes, and how action is required in many cases. Nine times out of 10, for homes backed by Tarion, they’re resolved without issue. 20 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | APR 18 - MAY 2, 2015
MORE DRASTIC IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE INVOLVING 23 HOMES BY ONE BUILDER IN ONE DEVELOPMENT IN ONTARIO, ALSO, THANKFULLY, BACKED BY TARION:
»
After the homes were built, the water table shifted, causing differential soil settlements » The problems arose three to five years after construction » 23 homes were monitored and repaired over a period of five years » 10 homes required major repairs – causing the homeowners to be relocated to hotels for an average of 38 days
The cost to Tarion to rectify the matter? More than $5 million. The cost to homeowners? Zero. The benefit of having the peace of mind of a Tarion backed warranty? Priceless. Think that would happen if your home was built by an unregistered or illegal developer? More and more builders, Tarion says, are improving their customer service. And it’s not just the large companies. “The advantage of using a small builder might be that you often get to know the principal,” says Tarion president Howard Bogach. “But large builders are closing the gap. “The large builders that do well are the ones that behave like small builders.” And with real estate and new home prices rising, homebuyers, understandably, expect more. So, what’s in a new-home warranty? In short, your builder is not just building your home, it’s building a relationship.

It knows that your son might be a virtuoso violinist, or that your daughter is a soccer star, they even keep canine companions in mind when working with you to create your perfect place! CountryWide Homes does all this because a big part of its brand is building homes that satisfy each family member so they can comfortably call a CountryWide house home. Every family is different and

//MORTGAGE ADVICE
Is the lowest rate always best? » by ALYSSA RICHARD
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.
While at ratehub.ca we’re in the business of comparing mortgage rates, we know there’s more to consider than simply how the interest rate will affect your mortgage payment. Throughout the year, big banks and even smaller lenders will offer incredible promotional rates to bring in new clients, but many of those offers come with serious restrictions and penalties. Before you jump at the chance to snag the lowest rate, read the fine print in your agreement to see if your new mortgage product comes with any of the following: » LOW PREPAYMENT PRIVILEGES. Most products give mortgage holders the option to increase their monthly mortgage payment amount once per year and/or make lump-sum payments throughout the year. While many lenders offer 20 per cent/20 per cent prepayment privileges (meaning you could increase your payment by 20 per cent each year and/or make a lumpsum payment of 20 per cent of your original mortgage), some promotional rates only offer 10 per cent/10 per cent. If your goal is to become mortgage debt-free fast, this may not be the right product for you.
If the lowest rate ends up being for a collateral mortgage, you’ll want to carefully consider how taking one on could affect your finances in the future. 34 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | APR 18 - MAY 2, 2015
» COLLATER AL CHARGE. If the lowest rate ends up being for a collateral mortgage, you’ll want to carefully consider how taking one on could affect your finances in the future. Collateral mortgages are readvanceable mortgage products that allow you to borrow money from your home at anytime, without having to refinance (and pay the legal fees to do so). Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, they also lock you into staying with that particular lender, even when your mortgage comes up for renewal. To get out of a collateral mortgage, you would need to hire a real estate lawyer (and pay legal fees). » CLOSED MORTGAGE. While most mortgages in Canada are closed, some mortgage products’ restrictions are tougher than others. For example, the 1.99 per cent fixed-rate mortgage product one lender offered recently didn’t allow borrowers to prepay, negotiate or refinance their mortgage throughout the three-year term. The only way to break your mortgage in that agreement was to sell your home. Again, if you are someone who wants to pay down your mortgage debt fast or may need to borrow from your home in the future, this may not be the best product for you. Of course, if your mortgage product comes with the lowest rate on the market and has few restrictions, you should jump at the chance to get it! But if you have any concerns about what’s included in the mortgage agreement, don’t be scared to shop around and find the right mortgage for you – even if it doesn’t come with the absolute lowest rate.

//TAXING ISSUES
Selling an investment property Âť by HENRY CHOO CHONG
Q
I purchased a rental investment property several years ago. Every year I have filed the rental income on my tax return. I recently sold the property. In addition to my rental income, what tax implications will I have to report?

Hopefully, you made a profit! The real estate market has been healthy for the past several years and continues to be strong, over the long term. Selling a real estate investment property will generate either a capital gain/loss or a recapture of income/terminal loss. You will have a capital gain when the proceeds of the sale exceed the original cost of the property. A capital gain must be included in your personal tax return (if you own it personally) and is taxed on 50 per cent of the gains at your personal tax rate. A capital loss occurs when the cost is greater than your proceeds. The capital losses should be included on your personal return and applied against capital gains in that year. Any excess losses can be carried back three years, or carried forward indefinitely to reduce capital gains. In calculating the capital gain/loss, determining the adjusted cost of the property is an essential factor. The adjusted cost must include not just the purchase price but also other costs incurred that had to be capitalized. As well, the proceeds of disposition are all the cost, including the selling price and adjustments pertaining to the sale of the investment. In addition to the capital gains/ losses, you may have a recapture of income. This occurs when you are taking Capital Cost allowance (depreciation) on the building, in any
38 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | APR 18 - MAY 2, 2015
of the years that it was owned by you. The balance in this account is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;undepreciated portion.â&#x20AC;? A recapture of income occurs when the lesser of the proceeds and the cost of the property is higher than the Undepreciated Capital Cost (UCC). The recapture of income is taxed in its entirety at your personal tax rate. Alternatively, a terminal loss occurs when the lesser of the proceeds and the cost of the property is less than the UCC. This terminal loss can be applied in the current year to reduce other income (such as salaries or business income). Any unused amounts can be carried back three years or carried forward. Good record keeping is essential to calculate the correct gains or losses. The opinions and views expressed herein are those of the author and not those of New Home Guide. New Home Guide does not necessarily endorse or encourage any specific tax strategies. Please consult a tax professional for advice specific to your particular situation.

Mortgage costs about to rise for some Canadians » by LYDIA MCNUTT
If you’re planning to buy a home this year with less than 10 per cent down, you can also plan for higher mortgage costs as of June 1, 2015. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) and Genworth Canada have announced that they are raising their mortgage insurance premiums by 15 per cent. CMHC increased its target capital requirements in mid-2014. The move isn’t expected to have a big impact on homebuyers’ pocketbooks or Canada’s housing markets, CMHC says. The higher premium would amount to an additional $5 per month for the typical borrower with a 95-per-cent loan-to-value ratio on a mortgage of $252,530. However, in Canada’s pricier markets, those monthly mortgage costs will inevitably be higher. In addition, the looming rise in mortgage costs could also signal a busier-than-normal spring real estate market, as homebuyers try to beat the clock on the May 31 deadline. The increase in mortgage insurance premiums reflects concerns that Canadians are overextending their budgets by taking on more home than they can afford, leaving them in a tight spot when interest rates rise or at the slightest economic turn.
Experts advise that homebuyers plan ahead, save their money and put down as much as possible, to avoid taking out a high-ratio mortgage. Homebuyers unable to save up this often hefty amount can still buy a home with a down payment of less than 20 per cent, but federally regulated lenders require mortgage loan insurance, which covers them in case of payment default. The lender is responsible for the premiums and passes those costs on to the homebuyer in the form of a lump-sum payment, or more commonly, higher monthly payments. CMHC is Canada’s largest insurer of residential mortgages. Existing mortgages, high-ratio mortgages with more than a 10-per-cent down payment, and mortgages on multi-unit properties will not be affected by the premium increase.

5 tips to make moving cleaner and Greener » by CHUCK RESNICK
CHUCK RESNICK
is Vice-President, Marketing and Operations at Two Men and a Truck – Canada
Protecting the environment is an important concern for consumers and businesses alike, but many don’t realize that moving can have a positive impact on the environment. Waste caused by the moving process not only stems from packing supplies, but also from the waste accumulated over many years within a home or office. Both sources can be extremely taxing on the environment if not properly managed. So, here are some suggestions on how to make your move a cleaner, greener process. 1. PLAN AHEAD: Waiting until the last minute to prepare for a move often makes environmental concerns an afterthought. Start early so you have the extra time to sort through recyclable items in the garage, kitchen and basement for delivery to recycling depots prior to moving day. Typically your garage, basement and attic contain the highest concentration of recyclable waste so start the sorting process there fi rst. Consider holding a garage sale or donating gently used tools or small appliances to a charity rather than have them end up in a land fi ll site. 2. RESEARCH: Survey local recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables. Many cities offer curb-side pick-up or “sort and drop” depots. Visit earth911.com for a list of local organizations that can dispose of all types of recyclable materials.
44 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | APR 18 - MAY 2, 2015
3. ORGANIZE: Prepare recyclables by organizing into categories: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc. Look up the requirements of the local recycler to see if there are any additional steps needed to prepare recyclables beforehand. 4. CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL: As you clean out your garage and basement in preparation to move, be conscientious about the kinds of materials being packed to move with you and which items are to be disposed. Toxic items, such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides and fertilizers are dangerous and cannot be transported in the back of a commercial moving truck. Also consider these items cannot be thrown-out with your regular garbage. Look up the specialized recycling depots for toxic products in your city. 5. REUSE: Do not throw away used boxes when the move is complete. A well-made corrugated box is great for storage or may be reused for a future move. Contact local schools or charity organizations, such as women’s shelters, scout troops, and food banks to ask if they need boxes to redistribute donated items. Donating gently used boxes not only reduces waste, but can be a big help in support of a good cause.

Seasonal switch-up: Make way for spring! » by HELLEN BUTTIGIEG

At first, you were afraid to put away the winter gear because it was impossible to believe that unrelenting, snow-filled season was really over. But as spring slowly slides into place, you’re finding spring jackets and raincoats being layered on hangers atop winter jackets. The hall closet is bursting at the seams trying to contain the collection of everything from mitts and snow boots to umbrellas to Wellies. It’s time for the seasonal switch-up. Make some space for your spring and summer, and don’t give Jack Frost another thought. MAKE ROOM FOR SPRING It’s that wonderful time of year again when we can put away the winter gear and lighten the load. Although there’s never enough storage space, there are creative ways to better utilize existing spaces when storing out-of-season items. Try adding another shelf above the existing one in all the closets, and purchase under-the-bed organizers. If your bed is not high enough, you can get a bed riser to lift it. Consider creating a document on your computer that serves as an index to outline where you’ve stored what. When winter arrives again, you won’t have to rely on your memory to find what you need. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PUTTING OFF THAT RUMMAGE SALE? Have you been saving items for years with the intention of selling them, but never seem to get around to it? Pull out your calendar today and book a definite date to have your sale this spring. Blocking the time now increases the likelihood of following through with it later. Another option is to forgo the big sell-off entirely and donate these items instead. It takes several days to orchestrate a successful sale, so determine whether the money you’ll make is worth the time and energy it will take. After all, you can always get more money but you can never replace lost time. JUMP-START YOUR SPRING CLEANING WITH BABY STEPS If you don’t know where to begin when it comes to springcleaning your home, start small. Pick just one room. Moving

clockwise, remove anything that doesn’t belong in that room and place it in a “move elsewhere” box to deliver to the room it should live in. Pull out anything that doesn’t give you joy or value and place it in a giveaway box. Toss or recycle any papers and garbage that are left over. Designate this room as a “no-clutter zone” so you will always have a sanctuary to escape to, regardless of what the rest of the house looks like. HAVE YOU STORED YOUR PARK A? If you’ve been putting off the task of storing your winter coats because you don’t have an extra closet, there’s a solution. A sturdy, rolling garment rack makes an ideal spot to store winter coats during the summer. Be sure to dry-clean all items before storing, even if they look clean. Body oils and not-yet-visible food stains attract moths – especially on wool coats. Cover the clothes with a clean, cotton bed sheet or use a zippered canvas wardrobe cover specifically designed for this purpose to keep your clothes dust-free. If you don’t have room for a garment rack, store seasonal items in large garment bags, suitcases or under-bed storage bins.

Title insurance: What is it, and why do you need it? » by JAYSON SCHWARZ
JAYSON SCHWARZ
LL.M. is a Toronto real estate lawyer and senior partner in the law firm Schwarz Law LLP. If you have a topic in mind, mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to the firm, email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.
Title insurance is supposed to provide comprehensive insurance coverage for certain title-related risks associated with home buying such as zoning issues, claims of mental incapacity, lack of up-to-date survey and the legal services provided by your lawyer (such as title certification). It insures against such defects in title, which may occur from conflicting ownership claims, liens, undischarged mortgages, consents and the like. It will cover compliance and access issues such as work orders, permit violations, fences, boundaries, tenancies and rights of way. It is supposed to be in force so long as the purchaser or his heirs own the property. Title insurance will outlive the certification of your lawyer, whose insurance stops if he or she dies or ceases to practice law. Okay, what if something is wrong and a prospective purchaser will not accept a new title insurance policy at no cost? The insurer will pay out in accordance with the policy, or will, if possible, repair the defect. Title insurance protects from vendors that won’t re-adjust or misrepresent things such as the real estate taxes paid. In addition, lawyers’ insurance is time of incident related, which means in simple English that if your lawyer is dead, retired or stops practice and you make a claim after that, you are not covered. Title insurance saves you money. Disbursements – money paid to third parties for items such as 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 the title insurance courses, has gone to the seminars on Terranet, the electronic registry system, 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. Remember, a lawyer survives by repeat business and referrals, and a lawyer’s mandate from the Law Society is that the client’s best interests must come first. We have all read and heard about mortgage and title fraud, where unscrupulous people put fake mortgages on properties or sell houses they do not own. Title insurance indemnifies you against these occurrences. To summarize, title insurance does four things better than lawyers’ insurance through Law Pro (the Law Society’s insurance arm): » gives better coverage as to the quality of your ownership than a lawyer’s insurance; » lasts forever when lawyers don’t; » saves $300 to $400 in disbursements; » protects from mortgage and title fraud. 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.

Celebrating the success of 90 Niagara FIELDGATE HOMES THROWS FIRST DOCUMENTED DEMOLITION PARTY IN CANADA On Thursday, March 26, with more than 100 guests in attendance, representatives from Fieldgate Homes celebrated the success of 90 Niagara with a Demolition Party.

Left, crowds of eager purchasers await a glimpse of the townhome preview. Right, purchasers were drawn to Oakvillage’s unique product offering.
Oakvillage is one of the GTA’s most sought-after townhome communities, with unprecedented sales at its first hugely successful preview event earlier this month. Excitement was palpable as crowds gathered and purchasers eagerly waited in line for days to be among the first to secure one of the coveted homes. “Oakvillage has an amazing community vision,” says Steve Stipsits, president of Branthaven Homes. “It’s the perfect blend of attainability, quality and accessibility for anyone looking to live their life in Oakville, an area we’ve been building in for over 40 years.

LUXURY LIVING BROUGHT TO THE LAKE
in Grimsby
There’s something special about living near the water. It pulls you in, makes you feel relaxed and connected with nature. So many people dream of living near the lake but it can be cost prohibitive, well no more. Homes by DeSantis is bringing luxury lakeshore living to Grimsby with the release of their new midrise condominium community, aptly named AquaBlu. “We’ve become very good at staying ahead of the curve, people want to live at the lake, they want luxury and easy access to major centres all at an affordable price,” says President Gabriel DeSantis. This outstanding development fits the bill, and includes 120 condominium residences and an exclusive release of four townhomes, starting from $189,900, a price well-suited for first-time homebuyers. Homes by DeSantis has assembled the brightest and best from the industry to create AquaBlu. Starting with the critically acclaimed architectural firm KNY Architects, who have recently designed several award-winning condominium buildings in the GTA. KNY Architects have devised AquaBlu to have an abundance of glass as a response to its setting along the shores of Lake Ontario. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow homeowners the full experience of the natural landscape. Modeled after the boutique hotels in South Beach Miami the interior will be crafted by the dynamic team at Tomas Pearce Interior Design Consulting of Toronto. This design firm brings global style, sophistication and elegance to everything they touch. Their mark will be seen in each suite but also the outstanding building amenity areas including a sprawling sky lounge terrace, the soaring two-storey lobby, fitness and yoga centre, the club room and a games room. Enhancing all of this will be a custom sculpture located in the roundabout in front of the lobby entrance. To ensure a unique design for this public art, Homes by DeSantis will be running a competition open to artists throughout the GTA and Niagara region. 78 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | APR 18 - MAY 2, 2015
Of course, all of this is brought together by the more than 50 years of building experience at Homes by DeSantis. A builder firmly rooted in southern Ontario, one that truly understands market trends and strives for excellence in all facets of their business. Not only will the buildings impress, but the Town of Grimsby is undergoing a renaissance all its own. It’s become a destination for visitors year-round. Grimsby downtown is lively with its summer farmer’s market, the beautiful historic landscape, ample recreation opportunities and a wide selection of shopping and dining. Now, to complement these attractions, the town has committed almost $5 million to create a waterfront trail system with wandering promenades, passage to newly constructed beaches and outdoor pavilion spaces. This new waterfront plan is occurring adjacent to AquaBlu, with trail entrances mere steps off the property. Only moments away is the picturesque Fifty Point Marina and the cache of Niagara Wine Country. For those working in Hamilton and the GTA, access to the QEW could not be easier, less than one minute away at the Casablanca exit. Further good news for commuters is the current GO Bus pickup at Casablanca and South Service Road. GO Transit also reports that this location is poised to be part of their Niagara expansion plan for GO Train service. The town of Grimsby continues to grow and as part of the Hamilton market area it continues to be one of the best places in Southern Ontario to invest. As an example the average increase in housing prices for Ontario was 3.6 per cent compared to Hamilton’s 5.1 per cent. This means that AquaBlu is not only affordable for first time buyers or empty nesters but is also an ideal purchase for investors. With the launch scheduled for this May, interested parties should register at aquablucondo.com, or call 905.664.7288 for more information.

Canadian mortgage payment factors Instructions:

Determine the appropriate 5-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate, which is easiest to qualify for. Run your finger down the left column of the table below to find the rate (round to the nearest 1/4%).
Choose your desired amortization period across the top of the table (25 years has lowest payment and is easiest to qualify for first-time buyers). At the intersection of the column and row is your mortgage payment per month per $100,000 borrowed.
» Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.

Here are a few of the key ingredients to creating your ideal backyard oasis. 01 Get Comfortable with Fantastic Furniture:

EXPERT PERSPECTIVES Get the inside scoop on current trends in new home and condominium markets from the minds that helped to market some of the GTA's most successful projects.
Questions:
Meet the Expert: Peter Comyns Sales and Marketing Manager at PMA Brethour Realty Peter Comyns is one of the leading voices at PMA Brethour Realty. His many years of experience in the real estate industry have given him a keen insight, which he’s used to help market some of the GTA’s most successful new home and condominium communities. One of Canada’s premier real estate firms, PMA Brethour Realty has become a leader in the sale of new homes across North America. PMA equals attitude, enthusiasm and teamwork. For 50 years the PMA family has embraced a simple yet powerful cornerstone: positive mental attitude makes all the difference.
Q: In your experience, what is it that new home and condo buyers are looking for? Location is always the top priority for homebuyers. If people can find a home that is close to great amenities, their workplaces, family and friends, they will often be more flexible in many of their other expectations. The second major consideration is home value in relation to its location —this includes a number of factors, ranging from resale value to pricing for similar homes in a neighbourhood they are interested in. Once these factors are considered, homebuyers are simply just looking for a place that meets their specific needs and desires. Keep in mind that these criteria don’t just apply to end users; investors often make the same considerations to ensure that they’re purchasing a truly marketable property. Q: What are builders doing today to help ensure that they’re keeping up with the changing tastes and demands of today’s customer? The GTA’s leading builders are constantly trying to innovate with each new community they create. It is a competitive marketplace, so great builders are always on the lookout for new ideas to improve home designs and exceed the expectations of today’s homebuyer. Builders will often look at successful developments throughout North America and Europe to find great design innovations that set them apart from the competition. The end result is a great selection of highly desirable, more affordable homes for the consumer. As certain features have gained popularity, prices have come down, and now things like granite and other superior kitchen surfaces, freestanding soaker tubs and many other premium appointments are available standard in many
communities. Exteriors are also changing, with increased architectural diversity within communities and more contemporary design elements, creating some truly spectacular designs that simply were not available to the average homebuyer ten years ago. Q: How can homebuyers be sure that they’ve picked the right community and builder to purchase their new home or condo? Naturally, it is key that buyers do their research on who the builder is and how long they’ve been in business, but it doesn’t stop there. It is really critical that buyers visit communities that the builder has created previously. How are the communities looking ten years down the line? If you visit a master planned community ten to fifteen years after its been completed and it looks like the kind of place you’d be happy to live, you can be pretty confident that you’ve found the right builder.
Q: Is there an ideal time of year to shop for a new home or condominium? In today’s market any time is a good time to buy a home. Ultimately the best time is when the buyer is ready. If your finances are in order, and the mortgage rates are low and you find the right home at the right location, that is always the perfect time to buy a home. This is even true if you are an investor — the golden rule in Real Estate is always “buy when you can, then wait.”

This is probably one of the easiest fixes on our list. Untidy bushes and shrubs can significantly impact overall curb appeal, especially in the front yard. Make sure to take the time to properly tend to all bushes and shrubs to set the stage for a beautifully landscaped yard.
It turns out money does grow on trees — according to moneysense.ca, mature trees can raise the average home’s value by more than $19,000 and save you more than $180 a year on home cooling costs. So plant a tree today for a natural way to grow value.
Give Your Gardens the Glamour Treatment
Get Your Lawn Looking Great
Untended garden beds are another easy fix that can rapidly enhance overall curb appeal. Pick some low maintenance perennials to give your garden a polished look without having to give it too much attention. Some of our favourites are Russian Sage, Switchgrass, Black-Eyed Susan and Veronica.
A patchy lawn is another major factor that diminishes your curb appeal. A little seed, fertilizer, attention and adequate watering can go a long way to helping you increase your home’s value.
