Market Update CANADA’S FIRST 3D-PRINTED HOMES? Being able to build a house at the push of a button may seem far-fetched, but with the launch of Canada’s first-ever 3D printed homes, that reality may be closer than ever before. As part of a new project from Habitat for Humanity, a group of four 500 sq. ft. homes are going up in Leamington, ON with wall structures that have been entirely 3D printed.

Leading Canadian 3D construction printing firm nidus3D was contracted by Habitat and the wall structures were entirely 3D printed. The hope is that in the future, every element could be performed by machinery. Given the efficiency and cost savings of 3D-printing, this new technology could help solve Canada’s housing supply crisis.

Moving?

5 WAYS TO MAKE THE MOVE LESS STRESSFUL

BY JULIE ACHTERMEIER

P

reparing for a move can feel daunting, but not if you plan ahead and avoid last-minute scrambling. When you sell your home and have a moving date, start thinking about what you want and need to take with you and what you can sell, donate or take to the dump. Following a few simple tips can make your next move painless and smooth.

1 NO TIME TO WASTE Whether you have a 30-day or 90-day closing, start decluttering immediately.

You will likely need to do a few passes before narrowing down what you take with you. Go through each room in the house and remove items you don’t use, don’t care for, or that won’t fit in the new home. Pack up boxes to donate and immediately load them into your trunk so you can drop them off on your next outing. Start listing items to sell online on sites like Kijiji, Varage Sale, or Facebook Marketplace. If you’re nervous about selling to people online, exchanges can be contactless by leaving items on your front porch and requesting the buyer e-transfer the money first.

2 PURGE, DON’T STORE While there are storage facilities on every corner these days, renting one should be a last resort and only if you have an overlap between when you must move out of your old house and into the new one. Storing furniture and boxes of “stuff” with plans to deal with them later will likely lead to months and months of paying expensive storage fees. If you’re having trouble deciding what to part with, use the one-year rule: If you don’t use it for an entire year, you probably don’t need it. To deal with large items you want to discard, hire a company like GotJunk. They can even leave a bin in your driveway until you’ve cleaned out and then take it away.

3 BE REALISTIC Look at your new floor plan and be realistic about what will fit. If you’re moving from an open concept floor plan to a home with smaller rooms, that large sectional sofa may need to go. And while you may have loved your grandmother’s antique sideboard, if it won’t fit, take photos of it to keep the memory and list it online. Or ask other family members if they’d like to take it.

One of the hardest parts of moving is parting with items you’ve had for a long time, even if they no longer serve a purpose. If you’re struggling with how to declutter and organize, there are professional organizations that can help.

4 GO DIGITAL If you’re anything like me, you may have filing cabinets filled with old tax returns, bills, and other outdated items. If tax returns are seven years old, they’re no longer needed, and you can shred them. Most statements can now be accessed online so if you’re hanging on to old phone bills more than a year old, shred them. For sentimental items like old photographs, scan and digitize them to keep them preserved. DVDs, cassettes, and CDs can be converted to digital files, stored on a cloud or local hard drive, and then recycled. Important hardcopy documents like birth certificates and marriage licenses can then be stored in a single file, taking up much less room.

5 MOVING DAY Deciding to hire a moving company or rent a truck and do it yourself depends on your budget, house size, and how far away you’re moving. Moving companies provide staff and trucks to pack up your home, transport your items and unload, but it does come at a cost. Be sure to obtain a few quotes and ask what options are available. Depending on your budget, companies can go so far as to pack items into boxes for you, load the truck, and unload and unpack at your destination.

Whether moving across the country, downsizing homes, or upgrading, preparation and planning from day one are critical steps to surviving an otherwise stressful time.

SIX THINGS NOT COVERED ON YOUR

HOME INSURANCE POLICY

BY JULIE ACHTERMEIER

A

s a homeowner, it's critical to understand what may not be covered under your Home Insurance Policy, especially with more of us working from home or running small businesses. For most Home Insurance Policies in Canada, these top six items are likely not covered. To be sure, please check your policy or call your Insurance Broker.

FLOOD & EARTHQUAKES In the last few years, Canadians have experienced severe flooding in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, New Brunswick, British Columbia, and Manitoba. Flood or overland water is excluded from your policy; however, due to this emerging threat to homeowners, insurers are now offering flood insurance coverage as an additional cost. Contact your broker to ask how you can purchase this coverage if you feel at risk. Keep in mind that it will be more difficult to qualify for this coverage if you live close to a lake, river or floodplain.

Earthquakes are considered catastrophic and excluded from your policy, along with earth movement, which includes earth shifting and sinkholes. While these occurrences are not typical in Canada, some companies offer earthquake coverage for an additional premium, and the deductible is typically quite high.

P E S T I N F E S TAT I O N A standard home insurance policy does not cover damage caused by "pests." The removal of any of these animals or pests is also not covered. Since infestations and the resulting damage are usually considered matters of home maintenance, the responsibility falls on the homeowner to pay for repairs or pest control measures.

The best defence is a good offence – stay on top of home repairs and schedule an inspection if you suspect you may have a problem.

FREEZING OF INDOOR PLUMBING Most homeowners are unaware that being on vacation or away from their home during the winter months requires someone to visit your home to check your furnace and ensure water pipes are not frozen. If your plumbing freezes while you are away and you did not have someone checking your home every four days, most policies would not cover the cost of repairs. If you are away for less than four days, the exclusion does not apply.

A VA C A N T H O M E If you leave your home for 30 days with no intention to return to it (for example, you bought a new house and put your old one up for sale), there is no coverage after 30 days. Most insurance companies will offer limited coverage; however, you must notify your insurer before leaving it vacant. Insurance companies view vacant homes as ideal targets for arsonists and vandals as no one is there to check on the house.

MOULD If you suddenly find a mould problem in your home, your insurance company will have no part in the cleanup or repairs. According to your insurance company, mould development means that you were not properly maintaining your home. You will have to pay for any repairs, regardless of how or when the mould developed.

HOME-BASED BUSINESSES You need to notify your insurer if you have a home-based business or start-up. Home insurance is not business insurance, and using your home for any business-related purpose could void your home insurance policy. Speak to your broker or insurance company to find out what additional insurance you may need, depending on the nature of your business. For example, working at a computer all day is very different than operating power tools. And bringing clients to your home for a business meeting can be risky without personal liability insurance. If that client were to slip and fall, you might be dealing with an expensive claim without the proper coverage.

When it comes to home insurance, knowledge is your best friend. Understanding what is and is not covered will help you adjust your policy where needed.
