Whoa! Hold on there. While some home renovations can add value, many can leave you out of pocket.

CONDOS FUEL THE MARKET IN CANADA’S LARGEST URBAN CENTRES

BY JULIE ACHTERMEIER

Toronto currently has the highest number of homes in low and high-rise condominiums (nearly 30 percent), the 2016 Statistics Canada findings show.

Next on the list is London, Ontario, at 16.8 percent, and Vancouver, British Colombia, at 16.7 percent.

Private dwellings in Canada represented less than half of the occupied homes in 2016 in 10 of the 35 metropolitan areas. At the forefront, are condos of five or more storeys. In Vancouver, single-detached houses fell more than 60 percent in 1980 to just 44 percent in 2016.

Soaring prices of detached homes and the change in mortgage rules are the main reasons responsible for the shift across the country. While in the past it was first-time buyers venturing into the condo market, now many families are raising two and three kids in a two-bedroom condo. For many young families who wish to live in urban areas, condo living is the only affordable option. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in particular is seeing this shift to the condo market. Millennials, who represent 32% of homebuyers, are the latest up-and-coming market trendsetters, yet experts are still holding their breath to see how this group will make decisions about real

estate long-term. Currently, many young couples are forgoing the extra bedroom and making sacrifices to stay in the city. They are willing to raise their families in smaller quarters, with children sharing a bedroom and with less living space.

A large number of millennials are seeking a minimalist lifestyle which includes fewer possessions and smaller living spaces.

But condo living isn’t just for young families making the shift to smaller homes. Empty nesters and retirees are downsizing and choosing travel and less property to look after as the main factors.

“TO PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS IN OUR LARGEST CITIES, CONDOMINIUMS REPRESENT THE LAST BASTION OF AFFORDABILITY,” SAID PHIL SOPER, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ROYAL LEPAGE. “THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS WHOSE PURCHASING POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED BY TIGHTENING MORTGAGE REGULATIONS.”

For most people living in condos, there are the added perks of being close to amenities, residing on subway lines and being just a short walk to restaurants and shops.

According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey1 released in January 2018, Canada’s residential real estate market saw strong price growth in the fourth quarter of 2017. In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Greater Vancouver, two-storey and bungalow home values declined, while condominium prices continued to grow. The main reason being affordability.

The average price of a condominium appreciated faster than any other housing type, increasing by 14.3 percent. In the GTA, the median price of a condominium increased 19.5 percent, while in Greater Vancouver, condominiums also followed a similar price trajectory during the quarter, rising 20.2 percent.

Many suburban markets across the GTA and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia posted strong year-over-year condominium price gains of 20 percent or more as well, far more than the rate of detached homes.

GET GREENER PLUMBING, TODAY You may be greening up your cleaning products or your eating habits, but have you stopped to consider your plumbing?

Read the following green plumbing tips, and reach out to your local, trusted plumber to help implement them.

INSULATE WATER PIPES. Heating water for homes can account for as much as 30 percent of residential energy consumption. By insulating the pipes and using high-grade pipe insulation, it can lower the energy expenditure needed to heat your water. Your plumber can install insulation on your pipes and save you money in the process.

INSTALL WATER SAVING FEATURES. In older homes, plumbing features such as faucets, showerheads and toilets are as historic as the homes themselves. By replacing these dated units with modern, energy-efficient counterparts, you can reduce leaks, conserve water and reduce your energy bill.

• Newer and more efficient toilets can cut down the amount of water used by as much as 80 percent. A low-flow toilet only uses 1.28 gallons of water per flush, whereas a full-flow toilet uses 3.5 gallons per flush. A dual-flush toilet uses only 1.6 gallons for solid waste and only 0.8 gallons for liquid waste. A

newer toilet can translate to a potential savings of 10,000 gallons of water each year. Newer toilets essentially pay for themselves, so get your plumber to install one today.

• Install a tankless water heater, which uses much less energy than a standard water heater. Instead of wasting energy keeping a huge reservoir of hot water at all times, a tankless water heater heats the water only as it is needed.

• Replacing a traditional showerhead with a low-flow showerhead will reduce the traditional water usage by around 50-70 percent. The homeowner can also get their plumber to install an even greener shower product, the steam shower. While traditional showers use 25 gallons of water per shower, a steam shower uses around 1 gallon of water per shower.

INSPECT YOUR HOME PLUMBING FOR LEAKS. Detecting leaks can be a difficult task, and in some cases, small leaks can be unnoticeable to an untrained homeowner. Hire a professional to help you hunt down hard to spot leaks.

Contact your plumber today, and together you can implement these tips to save money and the environment. Your plumber might also have additional green plumbing solutions they can bring to your home.
