EDITOR’S NOTE

WHAT DO YOU DO? SPEND, SAVE OR INVEST?

AMANDA PEREIRA EDITOR NextHome

After four years of saving, scrimping, pennypinching and coupon clipping, my partner and I bought our first home.

As the days to our closing date looms upon us, between the chaos of opening utility accounts and booking our Pre-Delivery Inspection appointment (known as the PreOccupany Inspection in Alberta) - we’ve had mortgage payment on the brain and the whirlwind of thoughts to coincide with it: Do we take a page out of my grandfather’s handbook and aggressively pay down our mortgage? Do we focus on investing or on contributing to our RRSP’s?

My partner and I have different methods of saving. Where I would keep my money in an accessible savings account, he would scrupulously invest, and reinvest his interest.

His philosophy has always been, “make your money, make you money.”

Whether you choose to spend, save or invest, it’s important that the financial choices you make leave you feeling comfortable. As for us? We’ll be working towards rebuilding our savings.

PROPERTY PROFILE

ENJOY A COUNTRY ESTATE LIFESTYLE IN BROOKFIELD’S ARTESIA AT

HERITAGE POINTE Imagine going home after a hectic day to a picturesque, quiet country estate community where vast greenspaces, tranquil ponds and your own private oasis awaits.

That’s the lifestyle discerning buyers are embracing with Artesia at Heritage Pointe – a 136-acre estate community being developed

by Brookfield Residential minutes south of the city that once complete, will have only 207 estate homes and 72 villas.

“Artesia is a full estate community that offers a country lifestyle where there is low density, no commercial development, no public transit, and with just one road in and out so it’s very quiet,” says Community Manager Charles Maguet. “That’s the big draw for buyers.”

Duane and Cheryl Kichton, who took possession of their new home in Artesia in October, say they chose Artesia “because we wanted the feel of fine country

living, but close enough to vibrant communities such as Seton and Okotoks,” for shops, services, groceries and dining that are just minutes away. “The large spacious lots offer wonderful views of the city of Calgary landscape, the mighty Bow River and on a clear day, you can see the mountains to the west.”

Brookfield has just released 18 new lots in Phase 4A that on average are 65-ft. wide and 140nexthome.ca 9

“That’s huge and there are lots even wider; you just don’t get that in the city,” says Sales Associate Shannon Edwards.

“Our lots all back onto our greenspace, trees or the ponds, none back onto each other,” Maguet says, so residents have a feeling of privacy when they’re sitting on their deck or enjoying a backyard fire. “The lots are wide 10 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 9–Dec. 7, 2018

enough so all the homes have triple car garages.”

Artesia residents also enjoy the community’s tranquil natural setting where 50 per cent of the land is dedicated to parks, pathways, greenspace and ponds with water features. There are 4.5 km of paved pathways ideal for jogging, walking the dog or an evening stroll, plus three ponds and a central park with a playground and covered pavilion

where residents can socialize.

Artesia also supports the “Dark Skies” initiative that limits the amount of light pollution emitted from the community, providing residents with the opportunity to enjoy the stars and Northern Lights.

Brookfield Residential is one of three builders in Artesia and will break ground on new showhomes in Phase 4A in November with a spring/summer opening date. The showhomes are the 1,800-sq.-ft. Catania, a bungalow with a Prairie elevation, and the 2,800-sq.-ft. Imperia, a two-storey with a French Country elevation. “Both elevations are our two most popular choices in the community,” Edwards says.

In the meantime, Brookfield has the Carmini 2 showhome, a 1,877-sq.-ft. bungalow open

for viewing, which is garnering rave reviews from visitors due to its grand design and luxurious features. Other builders with one showhome each are Augusta Fine Homes and Homes by Avi. The Kichtons chose Brookfield as their #1 builder choice because “the quality of their workmanship is literally outstanding. They take pride in every home they build and it shows in the home they built for us. This is our showhome!”

Maguet notes Brookfield can “personalize any plan to meet the family’s needs and create their dream home.”

To learn more, visit the showhomes open Monday to Thursday, noon-6 p.m., and Friday to Sunday, noon-5 p.m., call 403.452.7320 or visit liveatartesia.ca.

ADVICE | CALGARYISM

HOW TO SELL YOUR HOME IN A

BUYERS’ MARKET CODY BATTERSHILL

Are you thinking about selling your home in a buyers’ market? If you live in Calgary, as of now you probably know that the housing market is currently deep into buyers’ territory for all segments.

So, what exactly is the best way to sell your home in such a market?

Q: WHAT IS A BUYERS’ MARKET?

A home market in buyers’ territory means that there are less buyers interested in making a purchase than there are homes for sale. This is usually accompanied by: • Lower benchmark prices for property types with low demand and high inventories • Homes often remain unsold and are re-listed at lower prices • Increasing supply can halt benchmark price recovery and result in further price reductions • Homebuyers have more time to make decisions and leverage in negotiations with sellers HOW CAN YOU BOOST YOUR HOME’S APPEAL?

When selling your home in a buyers’ market, you’ll want to do whatever you can to make your property more appealing. This might include renovations such as a fresh coat of paint, new flooring or maybe changing an office space into an additional bedroom.

We all know that renovations cost money, so don’t go triggerhappy on them just yet. Make sure to ask your realtor about which 16 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 9–Dec. 7, 2018

ones will be worth the money and which won’t.

HOW TO PRICE YOUR HOME IN A BUYERS’ MARKET

The best thing you can do to price your home in a buyers’ market is to request a competitive market analysis (CMA) from a professional real estate agent and experienced realtor.

These individuals should offer you a 100-per-cent-free, noobligation CMA, which compares your home against others on the market with similar sizing, location and other features to determine the best listing price.

Setting a price too high will often scare off buyers – especially in today’s market where there’s stricter lending rules and higher interest rates. Setting a price too low may result in more offers, but not necessarily a higher price fetched for your home.

BE PATIENT AND FLEXIBLE WITH CONDITIONS!

A buyers’ market means that there’s a lot less pressure on

buyers to make decisions because of the overwhelming supply of homes available. They may ask you to be flexible over a longer period of time to allow for a home inspection, appraisal and any other conditions they request.

Requests such as these from a potential buyer means they are interested. Be patient and willing to work with them – it may just be the opportunity you’ve been looking for!

Remember that as a seller, you don’t have to accept any purchase offer, but you should consider the consequences of doing so in a market that’s far into buyers’ territory.

Happy house hunting!

CONTEMPLATING CONDOMINIUMS

“UNIT FACTOR” MEANS FAIRNESS LINDA PALFI

Financial fairness is important in condominium, as it is in any family. Enter the “unit factor”, which in most cases of residential condominiums represents each home’s share of the total square footage within that condo community. Regardless of whether they are apartment condos, lofts, townhouses, villa-style homes or even bare-land condominium, unit factor allocates expenses, almost always in proportion to the property’s floor area.

Watch for a few condos where unit factors were allocated in proportion to the initial sale values of the homes, or were weighted to have those on higher floors pay more. This applies an incometax-style “progressive taxation” approach to condominium, which is fine if you live on higher floors and can afford it, or live on lower floors and pay less. But these instances are rare.

In most residential condominiums, though, unit factor is your home’s percentage of the total privately owned square footage within a complex, taken to two decimal places. Because decimal points can be missed, or be confusing, the percentage is converted to whole numbers. One hundred percent taken to two decimals is 10,000, so those are the total unit factors to be divided among all the owners.

20 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 9–Dec. 7, 2018

Let’s say your condo building has 20 units of equal size. Each must carry five per cent of the collective costs for maintenance, heating and common-area janitorial services.

Add two zeros to five and you have 500/10,000, which is how expenses will be apportioned among all the owners. This system creates fairness, of course, when condo projects have varying sizes of suites, townhouses or even bare-land condo building lots.

A look at the unit factor can tell you a few things. First, move the decimal left two spaces, and you know exactly what percentage of the total project your home or “unit” comprises. If the unit factor is 265, you know that of all the privately owned square-footage in the project, your unit comprises 2.65 per cent. Divide that into 100, and you find it goes about 38 times, so if units are roughly the same size, it’s a development of 38 homes.

As well, the percentage the unit factor represents (265 = 2.65 per cent) tells you exactly how much you’ll have to pay of any dollar

amount needed for a proposed expenditure. For example, if a capital expenditure is proposed, and requires raising $10,000, you know you would be responsible for 265/10,000, or 2.65 per cent of that cost or, in this case, $265.

Don’t worry that anyone will manipulate the unit factors. They are assigned upon the creation of the condominium plan, based on a professional survey of square footage, all according to measuring methods detailed in that plan. While Alberta’s Condominium Property Act allows for levying of condo fees by other formulae, that would require amendment of the corporation’s bylaws. Condominium living deserves fairness to all, both real and perceived.

PROPERTY PROFILE

SHANE HOMES’ ORION II IN BELMONT WOWS BUYERS WITH “SUPER” FEATURES From its dream kitchen to its spa-like ensuite, buyers are discovering many “super” features to love in the Orion II showhome in the new south Calgary community of Belmont.

Crafted by Shane Homes, the Orion II is a 2,056-sq.-ft. two-storey showhome with an oversized front attached garage that is wowing people with its great features and dynamic style.

“We extended this showhome by two feet so we have a larger garage, bonus room, nook and kitchen,” says Area Manager Jeff Brodowski.

This extension allows customers to create Shane’s ever-popular “super” kitchen. “People love this design with the built-in appliances and huge island, and with the living room across from the kitchen; it’s great for entertaining.”

32 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 9–Dec. 7, 2018

“People also love the huge bonus room because they can do a lot with the space,” he says, and Shane upped the room’s wow factor with an elegant twotoned colour scheme and chair rail. “And, a lot of our female buyers love the ensuite and its spa-like feel.”

“Our designers added a splash of colour to this home with greens that are on trend right now, as well as some nice decorative elements,” Brodowski says. For example, the main floor half-bath showcases bright green paint above a gorgeous wavy white wall tile, while a patterned kitchen backsplash tile matches the flooring in the mud room.

The Orion II impresses right from the inviting front entry with its warm tones that are a perfect

match to the beautiful hardwood floor and providing space for a hall table or convenient bench.

At the rear of the home, buyers are wowed by the upgraded super kitchen with its extended central island, granite countertops, built-in stainless steel appliances, cabinets topped by crown moulding, twotoned cabinets, corner pantry and floating shelves.

The living room is warmed by a wall-centred fireplace surrounded in tile, and the expanded nook ensures plenty of room for casual or formal dining while a door to the rear deck makes it easy to dine outdoors. A mud room and halfbath are off the garage entry.

Upstairs, the owners’ suite can easily accommodate king-sized furniture, and a luxurious ensuite features a granite-topped vanity

For more information, visit the showhomes, 100 and 104 Belmont Terrace S.E., Calgary, open Monday to Thursday, 2-8 p.m., and weekends, noon-5 p.m., call 403.536.2311, or visit shanehomes.com.

with dual sinks, a make-up table, corner soaker tub, walk-in shower and a huge walk-in closet.

Down from the owners’ suite are two large secondary bedrooms, a main full bath with granite-topped vanity and a laundry room with a pocket door, countertop and cabinetry.

The front bonus room adds to the home’s appeal with its impressive size that allows plenty of room to relax with the family along with space for a desk or even a games table.

Along with the Orion, Shane Homes has the 2,307-sq.-ft.

Sovanna showhome, and can build and customize a variety of models in Belmont to suit their buyers’ needs. Shane Homes has corner lots and those backing onto green space available in Phase 1. Belmont is accessible off Sheriff King and Macleod and offers future LRT and a future rec centre.
