EDITOR’S NOTE

KEEPING IT REAL When it comes to planning – and budgeting – for a new home, most people concentrate on saving up enough for the down payment. While a bigger down payment means less paid out monthly to the bank, there are many other regular expenses associated with homeownership that should be factored into your budget before you even start looking for a home.

Some of these added costs are obvious, like homeowners’ insurance and utilities, but as Marnie Bennett explains, there are other expenses to consider to help you know if that dream home you have your eye on is actually affordable over and above the purchase price. Read what she has to say on page C6 about keeping it real.

Once you have found that perfect home and have moved in, you may find some home-decor inspiration on page 18. Writer Sara Duck offers up a curated collection of green-hued accents and accessories to add a pop of colour into your new space. Check it out and see which hue suits you.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this issue of New Home + Condo Guide. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

COVER STORY

PHOENIX HOMES COMMUNITIES WHERE YOUR NEW HOME IS WAITING Phoenix Homes, building quality singles, townhomes, condo flats and bungalows in Ottawa since 1988, is a name synonymous with sophisticated home and condo designs, superior quality finishes, and exceptional value. With many projects in the works and on the go, now is the best time to purchase your dream home.

10

New Home + Condo Guide |

Sept. 14–28, 2019

“We have eight projects,” says Rahul Kochar, vice-president of operations, “six on the go now and two to come.”

Whether you’re looking for a condo flat, townhome, bungalow or detached single-family home, there is a Phoenix Homes community that will suit your lifestyle and budget. The following

are short descriptions of projects currently being developed or will be in the next couple of years.

TERRA FLATS, AT FERNBANK CROSSING

These stylish 12-unit, costconscious buildings are currently at Fernbank Crossing, but will be available at other sites, such as

Junction in Barrhaven. Building 6 in the eight-building project is currently being sold, with the ground-breaking in the fall of 2020. Building 7 will soon be released for sale. “Some people want to make sure they have locked in a purchase price,” says Rahul. “We’ve got units that are spread over the next couple of years.” Prices start at $256,800.

Diamondview Estates boasts 66 singles, and while 45 of the 50- and 60-ft. lots are sold, there are still some up for grabs. “More product will be coming in the next few years,” explains Rahul. “Between 550 and 600 units are planned for this subdivision, with even larger lots for the next phase coming next year.” Prices start at $470,900.

White Tail Ridge and Diamondview Estates communities make use of a community-based sanitary and water system. This practical – and affordable – option means there is no need for a septic tank system, which translates into smaller lots sizes and development savings passed on to the homeowner.

WHITE TAIL RIDGE IN ALMONTE DIAMONDVIEW ESTATES

This semi-private community with large lots is located at the Carp airport. The smallest lot size is 50 ft., making these single-family homes spacious and graciously appointed.

This lovely new-home project is in phase 2, with lots nestled comfortably in the woods. There are 26 available lots – most measuring 80’ wide x 200’ deep – with five sold. Prices start at $457,000.

SHADOW RIDGE IN GREELY

Phoenix Homes is relaunching the completion of Shadow Ridge, nestled on the southern end of Ottawa in the scenic community of Greely. …continued on page 12 nexthome.ca 11

…continued from page 11

This development is characterized by large lots – 66-ft. wide by 130 deep – with various models from which to choose. “There is a balance of about 70 units for immediate construction,” says Rahul, with a spring 2020 groundbreaking for the balance of phase 2. With a lot of open land still available, there are another three phases to come.

PATHWAYS AT FINDLAY CREEK

This master-planned community features single two-storey homes, townhomes, spacious bungalows, and trendy urban flats, perfect for both growing families and firsttime homebuyers.

“The whole south, southeast end of town is going nuts, particularly along Bank Street,” says Rahul. “Come fall, you won’t even recognize Bank Street.”

Single homes in Phase 1 at Pathways are sold out. Currently 12

New Home + Condo Guide |

Sept. 14–28, 2019

selling are townhomes in Phase 2. Prices start at $395,800. Phase 3 will be released in late fall, featuring singles and towns.

New at Pathways is the Income Suite Home, with a built-in income suite. “These are really worth coming to take a look,” says Rahul. “We’ve created a separation between the main home and the income suite. It’s very cool how we split the space.

We have two 35-ft. and one 50ft. models and they are available at any of our suburban sites that have single homes.”

JUNCTION IN BARRHAVEN

Launching for sales in the spring of 2020, Junction, to be located in Barrhaven, is a high-density project that will consist of a combination of terra flats, and the introduction of Halo, a new 18-unit condo building with indoor parking and an elevator, and Nuvo, back-to-back stacked townhomes.

WELCOME HOME Coming to Orléans, Fall 2019

Perhaps you have seen it in your dreams – that picture perfect home, nestled in the ideal place to raise a growing family.

This Fall, we invite you to discover that dream come true, here in Orléans where eQ Homes will unveil a beautiful new collection of singles and townhomes.

THE REAL DIMENSIONS HOWARD BOGACH

Condo living is all about the efficient use of space. Retailers like IKEA promote its compact, multifunctional furniture and other space-saving solutions specifically to condo owners who need to figure out how to pack all their essentials into a limited footprint.

If you’re planning the future layout of your condo based solely on the marketing materials, however, you might be in for a surprise. There is a 14

New Home + Condo Guide |

Sept. 14–28, 2019

chance that the floor space may be a little less than expected.

Dimensions are a common issue – often discovered when you show up with your trusty tape measure to figure out how to get all your furniture into a 600 sq.-ft. unit.

To understand why your small condo might seem even smaller, it’s important to understand how floor space calculation works.

Let’s begin with the fact that builders aren’t required to include the square footage of condo units in their materials. It’s only if they voluntarily choose to include the information in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) that they

need to follow certain calculation guidelines. In fact, what you may see in the sales materials is a standard clause along the lines of “Actual usable floor space may vary from the stated floor area.”

Tarion’s Builder Bulletin 22 is an educational tool for new-home builders that lays out the rules for calculating floor space.

When calculating an area that meets an exterior wall or corridor wall, the measurement starts from the exterior face of the outside wall. For walls that separate one unit from another, the measurement starts from the halfway point between the walls. …continued on page 16

ADVICE | LEGALLY SPEAKING

THE CONDO BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS GOVERNANCE

by JACQUELINE MONETA JD WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

#CondoCity

The board of directors sit at the heart of a condominium corporation and oversees its business affairs. As they are members of the condominium corporation, it’s important that owners hold the board accountable for its decisions.

C2

ELECTING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Owners hold supervisory power over the board of directors through elections. Board members are elected at the Annual General Meeting (the AGM).

If an owner wants to run for a position on the board, they should notify the board ahead of the AGM. The owner’s name will then be included in

New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 14–28, 2019

the AGM package sent out to residents before the meeting.

At the meeting, candidates will introduce themselves prior to the vote of residents.

A board must have at least three directors, since odd numbers help prevent issues during board votes. The number of directors is specified in the condo declarations. Each board member’s term can be up to three

years, but terms are set typically so that they do not all expire at once.

IS THERE TRAINING FOR CONDOMINIUM BOARD MEMBERS? Directors elected or appointed on or after Nov. 1, 2017 are required to take online training offered by the Condominium Authority of Ontario.

Directors must uphold a standard of care. This means

they must perform duties with care, diligence and skill. If a board member is not doing their job or is acting inappropriately, they can be removed. To have a director removed, a meeting of owners must be called for that purpose. In order to remove the director, a majority of all owners must vote in favour of removal, either in person or by proxy.

If the owners vote to remove a director, the owners may elect any person qualified to be a member of the board to serve the remaining term of the director who has been removed, according to the condo corporation’s by-laws dealing with the election of directors.

DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS To be a director, there are three qualifications. You must: Ŕ be at least 18 years of age Ŕ not be bankrupt Ŕ be capable of managing property

A director will immediately be disqualified from acting if a lien is registered against their unit or they become bankrupt. The condominium corporation’s bylaws may also include additional conditions for qualification and/or disqualification of directors.

While the board of directors holds great power within the condominium corporation, owners are the check and balance. It’s important to attend AGMs, vote for board members and run for positions to ensure your home is well maintained for years to come.

Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@ schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.

#CondoCity

WHAT ARE THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS? Your board of directors meets regularly to conduct condominium business.

Meetings typically occur once a month. The board of directors

must ensure the corporation is run in compliance with the Condominium Act. Some of a director’s responsibilities include: Ŕ tracking the condominium’s financial performance Ŕ ensuring all required maintenance and repairs are carried out Ŕ updating the reserve fund study every three years Ŕ proposing changes to condominium by-laws Ŕ enacting rules to promote the safety, security and welfare of all owners Ŕ providing regular communication with the other owners

KEEPING IT REAL THE MONTHLY COSTS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP

#CondoCity

MARNIE BENNETT

C6

From personal observation, I’m happy to report that today’s homebuyer may be better informed than at any other time in history. Between easy-to-access information on the internet, help provided by mortgage brokers and lending institutions and – perhaps most significantly – the abundance of real estate reality shows, most homebuyers are entering the market with fairly realistic expectations. That’s terrific, because there’s nothing I hate more than bursting a client’s bubble.

I’ve found, however, that one consideration often put on the back burner is the monthly costs associated with owning a home.

Most of my clients walk through my door with a figure in mind, representing the price they’re willing to pay for the right home.

The crucial question: How have they arrived at this figure?

Ideally, they’ve used a mortgage calculator that enables users to experiment with different scenarios. A wide variety of mortgage calculators can be accessed online. I encourage you to choose one that takes monthly expenses (in addition to your mortgage payments) into account. These typically include the following:

home happens to be located in a major urban centre. The cost can vary an incredible amount depending on your municipality, so background research is definitely helpful.

UTILITIES

While just about everyone expects to pay for heating and electricity, it’s wise to consider the size of a home and its method of heating.

The good news is that most new homes are built to be impressively energy efficient.

CONDO FEES (if applicable)

These depend greatly on a building’s amenities and on a suite’s square footage; they may include utilities. Be sure to ask how long the current fees will apply, as they may be raised each year.

Some additional expenses generally not included by mortgage calculators include the following:

DECORATING

While new homes don’t require expensive overhauls, it’s a good idea to budget for paint, wallpaper, window treatments and furniture that suits your new home. Happily, this is the one expense that will lessen after the first year.

Final words: Don’t be afraid to crunch the numbers. There’s nothing scary about being prepared!

The area that you get is the total area of your unit. That’s why your 10 x 12-ft. bedroom might end up with usable space more in the neighbourhood of 9.5 x 11 ft.

Keep in mind that floor space may also be partially taken up by structural components or mechanical requirements.

When purchasing a new condo, read your APS and the feature sheet located within it.

The marketing materials will give you an idea of what you are purchasing but the details 16

of what the builder will deliver must all be in the APS. When it comes to the size of the unit, Tarion only outlines the approved method for calculating floor area. Warranty coverage doesn’t include floor area discrepancies or miscalculations.

You can expect some variance – up to two per cent is considered reasonable by Tarion. However, if you want recourse if the area is not as promised, you need to address this in your APS. So the best advice is to ensure that any commitments to square

footage or other features are made in the APS, and have a real estate lawyer familiar with condominium purchases review it. Remember that any promises, drawings or features that are in marketing material or made verbally by sales staff are not covered by the warranty.

If you’re buying a new condo or have just taken occupancy and have questions about floor space calculation guidelines or warranty coverage, visit Tarion.com or contact us at 1.877.9TARION or email customerservice@tarion.com.

ADVICE | GOHBA

A NEW HOME OR AN EXISTING ONE WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU? About 25 per cent of all homes purchased each year are newly built, while the remaining are resales of existing homes. Which is best for you? As the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, we obviously have a bias for new homes, but you need to make the choice that makes the most sense for you and your family.

There are a number of differences between buying a new and resale home. Here’s our perspective on the advantages that a newly built home can provide to you: CHOICE | YOU CHOOSE THE BUILDER

When you buy a brand-new home, you get to choose your builder based on their reputation and track record. Professional newhome builders are proud of their work, skilled, experienced and committed to your satisfaction.

COMFORT | UP-TO-DATE

Today’s homes meet more stringent building codes and provide a quality of construction that is higher and more demanding than in the past. A new home meets today’s standards for energy efficiency, safety and performance.

From construction materials to heating systems, the technology built into every new home ensures your long-term satisfaction.

COMMUNITY | WELLDESIGNED PLACES TO LIVE

New developments are designed to foster a spirit of neighbourliness by carefully balancing private and public 26

areas. They include welcoming home designs, green recreational areas, playgrounds for children, safe and attractive roads and pathways, and many other features.

CONFIDENCE | YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING

With a new home, you don’t have to worry about maintenance and repair costs for many, many years, because everything is brand new and covered by warranty. Resale homes come with uncertainty about the timing and costs of repair or replacement, from roofing to heating and plumbing.

PERSONALIZATION | MAKE IT YOURS

From floorplans to features and finishes, when you buy a new home you get choices not available on the resale market. Depending on the type of new home you buy, your builder will work with you to select the right details to make your home truly yours.

WARRANTY | PEACE OF MIND

One of the great advantages of buying a brand-new home is the warranty that comes with it.

Professional builders stand behind their work with an after-sales service program and a guaranteed third-party warranty DESIGN | A FRESH SPACE TO CALL YOUR OWN

Today’s new homes combine function and style with open, inviting living areas, lots of light, well-planned workspaces and built-in convenience. Light, bright and fresh feeling.
