One of the most exciting innovations at YPNextHome over the last two years has been creating Neighbourhood Profiles – comprising a wealth of data and information – from across the country. In every issue of New Home Guide, we’ll show you at least one of these featured neighbourhoods. And if you look online, you’ll find more than 2,800 neighbourhoods you can search as part of your experience on YPNextHome.ca. That’s a lot of information.
Our curated neighbourhood content provides a lively snapshot of some of Canada’s more popular neighbourhoods. These profiles have been researched and compiled by a nationwide team of writers and editors, and they include photos and, in some cases, exclusive video tours with local celebrities and well-known residents. Demographics, housing types and other information... all leading to listings in the area. Check it out and let us know what you think.
Don’t confuse cheap with free

In the days leading up to the Bank of Canada’s interest rate announcement on Sept. 9, some economists wondered if another rate reduction might be in the offing. Spotty economic conditions and challenging housing markets in some areas led some to believe the economy needed a boost. While these points may be true, the BoC held its overnight lending
rate at 0.5 per cent, and this is generally good news. And there are no guarantees, but it’s unlikely there will even be a hike during the next announcement on Oct. 21. Homebuyers and owners, however, should take caution, and not confuse cheap money with free money. Interest rates will eventually rise, so make sure you’re not getting yourself in over your head.

Advice | BILD REPORT
Giving back GTA builders & Habitat for Humanity By Bryan Tuckey WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY came
along to help build a home for Habitat for Humanity GTA recently, I couldn’t resist. Every year, BILD members volunteer to spend a day on a Habitat construction site building homes for partner families. It’s a very rewarding experience, and I felt privileged to join this year’s group of 20 volunteers at Habitat’s Brimley Road in Toronto’s east end, where 15 townhomes are under construction. I was thrilled that most of the volunteers belong to our association’s “yBILD” segment – industry professionals under the age of 40, who dedicated a full day away from their busy schedules to give back to the community. Many of us had limited construction experience and some of the group had never used power tools before. Luckily Habitat’s team of crew leaders was quick to assign us tasks that best fit our skillsets. We were broken up into
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/bryantuckey
groups and tasked with painting, trim work, concrete mixing and pouring, rebar cutting and fire stop installations in the underground garage. It was a lot fun, but it was also hard work. The experience really made us appreciate the amount of effort it takes to build a home. This is something all Habitat partner families learn on their way to homeownership. Each family is asked to contribute a minimum of 500 hours of volunteer “sweat equity” towards the construction of their home, or on a variety of other Habitat projects. Partner families also attend educational workshops to learn about the responsibilities that come with homeownership. One of those is making timely mortgage payments. Habitat does not give homes away
for free. In addition to sweat equity, families must pay a fair marketvalue mortgage. What’s different about these mortgages is that they are owned by Habitat GTA, have no interest and require no down payment. BILD is proud of its partnership with Habitat for Humanity GTA, and our members have been building homes for partner families since 2003. We do this because we are strong believers in the value of homeownership and the benefits it brings to families and communities. A recent study conducted by Habitat for Humanity Canada showed that owning a home contributes to a Habitat family’s improved economic stability, children’s education and overall health. Research has shown that after becoming homeowners, a large majority of families reported improvements in their children’s school grades and social lives. Many families also began to help give back to their community through volunteering.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING
How to find a home? Pay attention to location information and timing By Wayne Karl
DESPITE WHAT YOU OFTEN HEAR,
buying a home isn’t only about location, location, location. True, this is the time-tested first rule of real estate, but there are other determining factors you should consider as part of your selection process. Indeed, there’s a new rule of thumb for buying real estate. Location First, what does that old adage really mean? Of course, we’d all love a high-end home in the best neighbourhood. But that’s not always possible. For your own enjoyment while you live in your home as well as for future resale potential, proximity to transportation, shopping, schools and other amenities is among the key determinants that affect your property’s appeal and ultimately its value. After all, those are the qualities potential buyers look for when searching for a home; the more of them your home has when you go to sell, the more desirable it will be to a greater number of people. This equates to demand – multiple offers and a higher price. Information Whether you’re a first-time homeowner, “buying up” to accommodate a growing family or “right-sizing” as an empty nester, education is critical. And these days, with digital media and mobile technology, all the information you need is at your fingertips. From the content in this issue, at newhomeandcondoguide.ca to the
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/waynekarl
resources available to you at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC), to the local market expertise of newhome sales staff and realtors, the more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions about buying, maintaining and eventually selling your home. Timing Though your home is your primary residence, it is also an investment. Where you buy is usually determined largely by where you want to live, work and play. But when you buy and sell is also important. Like any financial instrument, real estate can fluctuate in value and your
timing can determine how good of an investment it is. Given today’s challenging economic climate, there’s no shortage of media reports on the ups, downs, crashes and surges of the housing market. But if you’ve done your research, you won’t be spooked – or excited – by big-picture reports on short-term market performance. You know that real estate is not national or even regional – it’s very specific. You don’t buy the Canadian market and you don’t buy a provincial or even regional market. You buy a specific home, on a specific street in a specific neighbourhood. So, it’s not just about “location, location, location.” The new adage is “location, information and timing.” Do well with all three, and over the long haul your home is going to be one of the best lifestyle and investment decisions you ever made.

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.

BoC decision to hold overnight lending rate generally
good news for Canadians By Alyssa Richard
THE BANK OF CANADA (BOC)
released its regularly scheduled interest rate update on Sept. 9, announcing it would not change the overnight lending rate from 0.50 per cent. With the economy performing better than expected and a federal election in full swing, the BoC opted to leave things as they are and not make any changes for the time being. In the previous interest rate announcement on July 15, the BoC cut the overnight lending rate by 25 basis points. It was the second change in just six months, echoing a 25 basis point cut in January. July’s announcement led to a flurry of activity, as consumers came searched for lower mortgage rates. In this most recent announcement, however, the BoC had a somewhat more positive outlook. A statement from the central bank said “the stimulative effects of previous monetary policy actions are working their way through the Canadian economy.” The BoC also cautioned that Canada’s economic future will be heavily influenced by factors beyond

its control. Uncertainty in China and the growing economic strength of the United States were two major pressures cited by the Bank. Attention is now shifting to the U.S. Federal Reserve, which could potentially raise interest rates in that country as early as this month. Earlier this year, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that the Fed would raise rates in September, but experts are now saying it could be later this year before they pull the trigger. It’s still seen as a matter of when – not if – rates will go up there, and when they do, it will be the first such increase since 2008. The Bank of Canada has said they wouldn’t necessarily follow an American lead, but a U.S. rate hike would have implications on our economy, and would likely push the Canadian dollar down even further relative to the greenback. By deferring any further changes to the overnight rate, the BoC has left

For the average Canadian, today’s announcement is generally good news. If you have a variable rate mortgage, your interest rate should stay the same for the time being. Even though the major banks didn’t pass along the entire discount from this year’s rate cuts, don’t expect them to use today as an opportunity to step up any competition. The Bank of Canada’s next opportunity to change the overnight lending rate is Oct. 21.

New mailbox fee on hold Canada Post gives new-home buyers a reprieve on $200 community mailbox payment By Marlene Eisner
IF THE THOUGHT of going outside to get your mail in the dead of winter makes you shiver – not to mention having to pay an additional fee to cover the cost of said community mailboxes – maybe this news will warm you up. According to the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA), discussions with Canada Post have resulted in a reprieve until January 2016 for new homeowners having to pay a $200 Community Mailbox (CMB) fee. “We are very pleased with this outcome — this is an important victory for CHBA and Canadian homebuyers,” says Kevin Lee, CEO, CHBA. “Very importantly, we also send kudos throughout CHBA at the local, provincial and national levels of our Association for the collective effort.” In late 2012, Canada Post announced its intention to charge new-home buyers a $200 Community Mailbox (CMB) fee per
MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news
mailbox that would be collected during the subdivision process in brand new residential and commercial developments. Upset by another additional cost when government charges and fees on new homes are already substantial and increasing, the CHBA and its members began a vigorous campaign against the initiative. It seemed to work, at least in the short-term. In July 2013, Canada Post agreed to suspend the CMB fee until Jan. 1, 2014. The one-year suspension saved the industry and new-home buyers tens of millions of dollars in 2013, which prompted the CHBA to first try and convince Canada Post to reduce the fee, and eventually, actively oppose it outright. While the reprieve is welcome news for new homebuyers, the decision is not set in stone. According to CHBA, Canada Post stated that although the fee is not a necessity right now, it could become so when the crown corporation reviews its financial position in 2019. Yet another great reason to not put off buying a new home for much longer.

Upgrades for long term living By Jane Lockhart | Photography by Brandon Barré
WHEN PURCHASING a new home or
condo, the buyer is faced with the dreaded decision of what upgrades to put their hard earned money towards. The list of potential upgrades is often long and daunting, especially for someone who is “new” to buying new. It is important to look at how long you want to live in the home for, potential projects or short-term renovations you may have in mind and the best return on your dollar. There are a couple ways to look at upgrades. There are the ones that can be done only during the building
process (or are extremely expensive afterwards), ones that make the most sense during the building process and ones that are more of a cosmetic or superficial nature that are nice to have but can be done at anytime. It is hard for a new homeowner to think of what the long term plans for their new home are, but believe me; this exercise will be well worth it in the end!
In terms of upgrades that are best to be done during the building or construction stages, these are things you are going to want to ask your builder about sooner than later. These upgrades are also a sure fire way to increase your home’s value right out of the gate. Most builders adhere to an eight-ft. guideline in terms of ceiling height. However,

2015-09-15 2:06 PM
new homes have been known to incorporate ceilings of up to a 10-ft. height. The appeal of higher ceilings is it immediately makes the room feel larger and can add to the general design and appeal of the room. It also adds a general feeling of luxury to a new home. Many builders offer both brick and siding options on their floorplans. For this decision, homeowners really have to evaluate their long-term plans. Using brick helps guarantee your house will last through most any weather condition (think about a popular fairy tale with three pigs and a wolf!). It can also be quieter, blocking the homeowner from any outside noise. That being said, aluminum siding is actually much, much more cost effective, but does need regular maintenance. Unless you are planning on staying in your home through the test of time or want to ensure high resale value, siding might be the way to go! Other areas to consider for upgrades during the building period of your new home can be additional lighting, pot lights, additional outlets (especially on a second floor), additional fireplaces, larger windows, larger windows in the basement and a rough in for the basement. These are all upgrades that almost have to be done before the house is complete and can be very costly once the house is built. Purchasing a new home can be very exciting and a little nerve racking! Make sure to take the time to really think about what you want in your new home, so once you move in, it is perfect!

The math behind Land Transfer Tax By Jayson Schwarz WHENEVER YOU PURCHASE land
in Ontario, you have to pay Land Transfer Tax (LTT). In the City of Toronto, you also get hit with a municipal LTT. The good news is that all first-time homebuyers are entitled to the first time buyers’ exemption or rebate. For the Ontario tax, the exemption or rebate will apply to the first $2,000 of LTT payable. This means that you will pay only a portion of the LTT on homes costing more than $227,500. To qualify, you must: 1. be at least 18 years old; 2. never have owned an eligible home as defined in the Ontario Home Ownership Savings Plan (OHOSP) Act, which includes condos, detached and semis, anywhere in the world;
3. not have a spouse or same-sex partner who has owned an eligible home as defined in the OHOSP Act while he or she was a spouse or partner of the home purchaser; 4. occupy the purchased property as a principal residence within nine months of purchase.
You may also qualify for the City of Toronto exemption or rebate. As an example, purchases with a price over $400,000 on resale homes must pay and then get the money back from the City. In addition the City rebate maximum is $3,725. The other difference is the method of calculation:
Doing the math: » Up to a purchase price of $55,000, LTT = 1/2 of 1% of the purchase price net of HST » Up to a purchase price of $250,000, LTT = 1% of the purchase price minus $275 net of HST » Up to a purchase price of $400,000, LTT = 1.5% of the purchase price minus $1,525 net of HST » Over $400,000, LTT = 2% of the purchase price minus $3,525 net of HST
» Up to a purchase price of $55,000, LTT = 1/2 of 1% of the purchase price net of HST » Up to a purchase price of 400,000, LTT = 1% of the purchase price net of HST » $400,000 to $40,000,000, LTT = 1.5% of the purchase price net of HST » Over $40,000,000, LTT = 1% of the purchase price net of HST If you don’t qualify, you will have to pay the LTT on closing.

LAYERS By Yanic Simard | Photo courtesy of CB2
1 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 Deco-

Bronze Rose Tealight Holder (pictured top); Talis Gold Hammered Platter (pictured top). Visit YSSelected.com 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 livable 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. Visit YSSelected.com 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. Pictured left: Chevron Jacquard Cotton Throw; Aspen Deluxe Faux Fur Throw. YSSelected.com 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 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.

Two-thirds of Canadians fear an interest rate hike WITH THE BANK OF CANADA, in its Sept. 9 rate announcement, holding its benchmark interest rate at 0.5 per cent, higher lending rates and growing debt may be top of mind for some Canadians. But perhaps it should be. According to BMO’s Annual Debt Report, almost two-thirds of Canadians carrying debt (64 per cent) would be stressed if interest rates rose two percentage points. One-quarter (25 per cent) would be “very stressed.” Despite the distress, Canadians remain optimistic about the pace at which they can pay off their debt, and almost half plan to increase their debt in the coming year.
Crunching the numbers… » $92,699 The average household debt in Canada » 46% Canadians who feel some stress about their current debt load, down from the past two years (54 per cent in 2014, and 57 per cent in 2013). » 5 years The amount of time expected to pay off debt » 46% The number of debt-holders who plan to take on more debt this year “The sizeable number of indebted households that would feel very strained by a relatively moderate increase in interest rates is concerning,” notes Sal Guatieri, senior economist, BMO Capital Markets. “This is a worrisome side effect of a prolonged period of low interest rates and needs to be closely monitored, especially if rates continue to fall.” “Interest rates have been hovering around historic lows over the past few years, so many Canadians may have become more comfortable over time with managing their debt,” says Christine Canning, head of Everyday Banking, BMO Bank of Montreal. “That said, rates will inevitably rise to normal levels, so it’s becoming increasingly important that Canadians stress-test their ability to afford the debt they currently have so they can effectively manage their finances in a higher rate environment.” “I would be stressed if interest rates rose by 2 percentage points!”

Canning adds that managing debt is a simple concept but can be much more challenging in practice. Working with a financial planner to help assess your spending patterns and determine priorities, such as paying down debt and saving for other goals, can make the process easier.
4 TIPS to pay down debt faster Choose a shorter amortization. The shorter the borrowing period, the less you’ll pay. Do your homework. Research to find the best rates on products such as mortgages and secured lines of credit to ensure you keep costs as low as possible. Build a realistic budget. Developing a detailed budget that incorporates everyday expenses and debt repayment helps provide a clear picture of your financial standing. Building in funds for contingency spending can help you stick to a plan and avoid getting discouraged. Manage credit card debt. Pay down credit cards, beginning with those that carry the highest interest rate, and consider using a low rate card for purchases. For those with multiple cards, try to limit yourself to one credit card that you pay off in full each month. For more information visit bmo.com

Four organizing myths that keep your life in disarray By Hellen Buttigieg
IT’S TIME TO DISPEL some organizing
myths that may be keeping you stuck in your mess: 1. Multi-tasking is always productive False. Although useful in some situations, multi-tasking can cause you to lose your focus and make costly and time-consuming mistakes. When working on important tasks, multi-tasking is probably not a good idea. Some things require your undivided attention. Multi-tasking distracts us from being in the present moment, which can drain our energy and leave us feeling exhausted and unfulfilled. Next time you are participating in an activity, be with that activity rather than thinking about all the things you should be doing instead, or have to do later. Resist the habit of trying to do two things at once. 2. Being messy automatically means you are disorganized. False. Organizing is not about how it looks, it’s about how it works. Visual, creative types need to have things out where they can see them, because out-of-sight is out-of-mind for them. This may cause their spaces to appear disorganized to others, but they probably know exactly where everything is. The flip side of this though is that visual types lose focus when there is too much to look at, so they need to find products that will allow them to contain their stuff to keep down the visual clutter. For example, a literature sorter allows them to contain their papers while still keeping them within view.

3. You have to toss everything to get organized. False. I often hear people say to me, “There’s no way I could get organized because I am too sentimental. I don’t want to get rid of everything.” Although you shouldn’t keep things you don’t like or will never use, there’s always a way to either display or store the things that matter. For example, shadow boxes or display cases allow you to protect as
4. If you write it on a to-do list, it will get done. False. I had a client who was so proud of her to-do list. It was prioritized, colour-coded and categorized, yet she was frustrated and overwhelmed at how many things on the list were not getting done. To get anything done, you have to actually schedule time to do the things on your list. Simply putting a task on a list is not a commitment. Blocking time on your calendar to do it is.
