EDITOR’S NOTE

STAY HOPEFUL YOUNG CALGARIANS

WAYNE KARL MANAGING EDITOR NextHome

There’s been no shortage of media coverage recently about Millennials and the housing market.

To summarize, they’re a large and important part of the homebuying future, without whom, and if they’re purchasing dreams aren’t alive and well, things might look worrisome. Homebuying – and building, before that – is a key driver of the economy, not to mention a milestone lifestyle goal for many young Canadians.

But with rising prices, limited supply and now interesting rates that are inching up, some are feeling the heat.

And while these issues do face prospective homebuyers in Calgary, would-be purchasers here have reason to be optimistic.

Chief among them is affordability. As the economy in Alberta continues to recover from a prolonged slump, home prices remain within reach for Millennials, even if forecast price growth may not be spectacular.

If you need a stark reminder of how serious a challenge affordability is in other markets, see average home prices in Vancouver and Toronto.

Stay hopeful, Millennials in Calgary. Your homebuying window remains open.

COVER STORY Q AT SAGE HILL

Morrison Multi Family delivers convenience & luxury with

Q in SAGE HILL +

With an eye on convenience and luxury, Morrison Homes Multi Family has launched Q Condominiums, putting condo living in the heart of a new, vibrant retail centre in Calgary’s northwest.

Located in amenity-rich Sage Hill, Morrison celebrated the grand opening of Q on June 9. The project comprises 173 apartment-style condos – 75 in the first of two five- to six-storey buildings – that offer a downtown retail village vibe.

“Q launched pre-sales a few months ago, and it’s received a lot of interest from people because you don’t often find this kind of product in the suburbs,” says Robert Toth, marketing lead for the Multi Family Division of Morrison Homes. “A lot of people want the conveniences of downtown living, but they don’t want the hassles that often come from living in the core, like finding parking. Affordability is also an issue with buying downtown.

“Q puts inner city convenience in a suburban setting,” he says. “It’s a great way for people to have everything that they need around them, at

LOCATION Sage Hill BUILDER Morrison Homes Multi Family HOME TYPE Apartment-style condos CONTACT myqcondo.ca

JUNE 22 - JULY 20, 2018 9

an affordable price starting from low $200,000s.”

Buyers are excited that Q is part of the Sage Hill Quarter site that encompasses 16 acres with an approximate 240,000-sq.-ft. retail development, thereby putting a wide range of shops just steps from their front door.

“They love the convenience of being able to walk to get their groceries and that they don’t need a car for their errands,” Toth says. “Co-op and Shoppers Drug Mart are confirmed to be nextdoor. There is a proposal for a daycare and fitness facilities. You’re going to have restaurants, coffee shops and medical

10 NextHome.ca

facilities. All of the things that you need, they’re going to be all around you — within walking distance.”

Buyers also appreciate that they have easy access in the Sage Hill area, with major routes such as Stoney, Shaganappi and Sarcee Trails for quick commutes to the airport, downtown, the university and even out to the mountains.

Another attraction is the well-appointed interiors that feature ultra-smart floorplans and luxury finishings such as stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinets, luxury vinyl plank flooring, premier quartz countertops, tile backsplash and nine-

ft. ceilings. Buyers can also personalize their suites by choosing from three designer colour palettes and designer options.

All condos come with balconies or terraces with privacy screens, in-suite laundry with stacked washer and dryer, and heated and secured underground parking with bike storage facilities and storage lockers.

Toth notes that Q appeals to “the millennial homebuyer – someone who likes having everything close at hand and not keen on driving throughout the city for what they need – as well as first-time buyers seeking affordability, and downsizers and

empty nesters looking for maintenance-free living and convenience.

“Q Condominiums is such a unique project – there’s nothing like this in the vicinity and it’s rare that developers make these prime spots available for housing within their retail spaces,” he adds. “Morrison Multi is also very fortunate to be able to partner with a great developer like Ronmor to offer this new type of living to Calgarians.”

With new homes, everything is new and under warranty. Jayman Valle BUILT’s quick possession homes y Ri ge Dr Nw d are also professionally designed 1 with today’s trends and features.

To help your home search, visit a Jayman BUILT showhome in Calgary, and ask about what is available for quick possessions in Edmonton. The Calgary team can connect you with an Edmonton representative who can guide you further. You can also inquire through social@jayman.com, or view available homes online at jayman.com/moveintoday. Jayman has homes available with 30-, 60or 90-day possessions so you can secure your home now, and plan your move with confidence.

“As an added bonus,” McGavern adds, “Jayman BUILT can help sell your current home, arrange a mortgage, schedule possession dates and even provide you with a moving van. We work hard to help your new adventure be as seamless as possible.”

quadrants that present different opportunities for homeowners.

For example, in west Edmonton, Jayman builds in communities such as The Uplands at Riverview and Secord Heights, which are close to West Edmonton Mall and Anthony Henday Drive for ease of getting around the city. In south Edmonton, Jayman builds in communities such as Allard and the Hills at Charleswood that offer convenience to shops and major transportation routes in and out of the city. In the north, Solstice at McConachie offers a family haven with picturesque ponds, trails and greenspace.

“Once you decide on a community, we can help you find a home that fits your budget and lifestyle,” McGavern says. “We build semi-detached, laned, zero lot line and traditional front-drive homes in Edmonton, so we have something for every family at every price from entry level to move-up.”

A new home, versus a resale, can be virtually the same price.

It may be a decision you’ve made based on a new job or your family, but if you’re moving to Edmonton, you’re now challenged with deciding where to live.

One of the first steps on that journey is choosing which quadrant of the city you want to live and a community that best suits you and your family’s needs.

“Before you start looking for a home, consider what your priorities are,” says Christine McGavern, director of marketing for Jayman BUILT. “Do you want to be close to major transportation corridors that will give you easy access to work, or be close to amenities like shopping and services? Do you need to be close to schools, medical facilities, or are you hoping for quick access to bike paths and parks? Your budget will also play a factor, as some communities offer more affordability.

“Choosing a community in a new city can be daunting, especially if you don’t know the city well, and aren’t sure about the benefits of living in one community compared to another,” McGavern says, noting that Jayman BUILT provides assistance in this area.

“We have picked people up from the airport and driven them around to different communities in the city. Any of our team members can help newcomers with their list of priorities and show them what Jayman BUILT has to offer in our communities.”

ADVICE | KEEHN ON MONEY

HOMEOWNERSHIP:

TIME TO PLAN KELLEY KEEHN

Canadian Millennials are dreaming of becoming homeowners, but research shows most aren’t adequately planning for it.

“In the past, buying a home was the trigger for getting serious about savings,” says Kathleen Woodard, senior vice-president, CIBC. When someone plans to buy a home, they reduce their spending so that they can save more to help achieve their goal. This can

help foster healthy habits and the discipline needed to accumulate savings. Whether you’re looking to rent or buy, it’s a good idea to seek expert advice early on (for example, from a certified financial planner) to help put together the right financial plan for you.

“As Millennials weigh the options to rent or to own, it’s important that whatever they choose to do, they need to start saving now.

They can’t delay,” says Woodard.

owning is right for you • Build a budget and see where you can save • Find a certified financial planner who can help you plan!

Kelley Keehn is a financial literacy advocate who has been on a mission to “make Canadians feel good about money.” She is the author of eight published books and is also a speaker, media personality and consumer advocate for the Financial Planning Standards Council.

And there’s Southpoint’s connection to nature. “Twelve of the community’s 74 acres are preserved as greenspace and parks – that’s rare,” says AJ van der Linden, sales manager. “There’s an extensive network of paths that connect to the Airdrie Trail System, and we’re just finishing a centrally located, four-acre park”

Southpoint’s streetscape brings a fresh new dynamic to the neighbourhood. Colourful facades, quaint turrets and gables, as well as inviting front verandas – the ambiance feels like an upscale country club.

Steve and Amy hadn’t actually planned to start looking for their first home together until summertime. But when they saw Southpoint’s model rowhome, they fell in love instantly. “The fully finished attic was a huge ‘wow’ for us – very cool and very fun,” Amy says. “And both my kids now have their own bedroom – they’re pretty thrilled about that.”

The location was a winner, too.

“We’ve always liked the south side of Airdrie,” Steve says. “We’re much closer to my sister and to the airport which is where we both work, so it’s really convenient.”

“The whole process went so smoothly,” Amy adds. “And we were able to open up the kitchen and great room so it’s one big space.” She laughs. “We’ve always got lots of people visiting, so this will be perfect for entertaining.

And besides, now we have a fireplace in our kitchen.”

Southpoint’s presentation centre and display home are located at 305 Southpoint Green in Airdrie and open every day. Townhomes from $269,900, rowhomes from $334,900 and single-family lane homes from $359,900.

SHANE HOMES’ TOFINO PRESENTS A GRAND WELCOME IN

From its open to above foyer to its bright, spacious plan, Shane Homes has created a grand welcome to its newest Tofino showhome in Midtown in Airdrie, which opened in early May. “From the moment people walk through the doors, they are wowed by the sense of grandeur,” says Area Manager Karen Kotchar.

“You get this amazing view to above and through to the rear of the house and we’re getting an 20 NextHome.ca

incredible response from people, they just love this house and the plan because it flows well.

“People tell me it’s refreshing to see something like this – they love the many finishing touches like the tile on the main floor that looks like hardwood, the barn doors on the lifestyle room, and the shiplap and brick feature wall around the fireplace in the living room.”

The 2,515-sq.-ft. Tofino showhome in Midtown presents a

soft grey and white colour scheme giving the home a warm, inviting feel and there is ample space to greet guests in the foyer plus have room for a convenient bench or hall table.

The gorgeous barn doors slide open to reveal a large formal dining room, which Kotchar says is becoming more of a trend as people love having the additional space for entertaining, but owners can also use the space as a home

The kitchen is a feast for the eyes featuring a dark quartztopped island with breakfast bar seating that contrasts nicely with the full-height white cabinets and textured subway tiled backsplash that is made to look like painted over brick. Adjacent to the kitchen is a nook with oversized windows creating a bright space for dining and entertaining guests.

Across from the kitchen, the

living room is warmed by a wallcentred fireplace and its dynamic feature wall that helps to set the tone for the home’s modern farmhouse theme.

There is also a half-bath and mud room with a walk-in closet and a handy built-in bench off the garage.

Going upstairs, people are further wowed by the open central family room with built-in entertainment centre and a vaulted

ceiling. “People love that the family room is centralized as it creates privacy between the owner’s suite and secondary bedrooms,” Kotchar says.

The owner’s suite presents an inviting retreat highlighted by a shiplap feature wall bringing the theme from the main floor upstairs, and a convenient builtin juice bar separates the huge walk-in closet from luxurious ensuite, which features a quartztopped vanity with dual sinks and make-up counter, full-height tiled backsplash, soaker tub and oversized walk-in shower.

Also upstairs is a laundry room, a full bathroom, two generoussized secondary bedrooms with walk-in closets and a handy IT centre where the kids can do their homework.

Along with the Tofino, Shane Homes also has the 1,994-sq.-ft.

Fiesta II showhome, and can build variety of other popular models in Midtown, which are customizable to suit customer needs.

INCOME PROPERTY WORTH THE HEADACHE: CIBC Being a landlord is not for everyone, but according to a new CIBC poll of Canadian homeowners, those who are landlords can benefit financially.

Respondents who own a separate rental property say they earn on average 50 per cent more than their monthly costs. Further, those who earn income by renting out space in their home say they reduce their housing costs by as much as 70 per cent.

The survey says 80 per cent of homeowners agree that renting out space in their home makes financial sense but value their time and privacy too much to pursue it. Further, 30 per cent of

landlords say their top concern is dealing with unexpected costs for maintenance and repairs.

Despite this, more than half of landlords (52 per cent) believe it’s “worth the headache.” Of those who own a separate rental property, half say their top reason to invest is to generate passive income now (22 per cent) or in retirement (28 per cent). Another 20 per cent have invested for long-term property appreciation, and only 14 per cent cite future occupancy by themselves or their children as their main reason to invest.

“High housing costs and the growing appetite for additional revenue streams make renting out

space a popular choice, especially among younger Canadians,” says Jamie Golombek, managing director, Tax and Estate Planning, CIBC Financial Planning and Advice.

5 TIPS FOR LANDLORDS

1. Be clear about your income expectations – budget two months of revenue for property maintenance and repairs.

2. Invest in the location and quality of your space to attract tenants.

3. Understand your legal, zoning and insurance obligations.

4. Expect to spend time addressing tenant concerns.

5. Stay organized and keep records of all rental expenses.

ADVICE | CALGARYISM

5 FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR NEW HOME LOCATION

M F CODY BATTERSHILL

When searching for a new home location, there are some key things to consider. Here are five tips to help you make the perfect choice.

CUL-DE-SACS

For families, cul-de-sac’s generally provide a safer outdoor play space compared to regular streets. With homes all facing one another, they tend to promote friendly interaction between neighbours and lower the prospects of crime.

PARK ACCESS

All new suburban communities have a master plan that usually includes large park spaces. Buying a home in such a location may be something you and your kids prefer and enjoy over the years.

Some Calgary communities are located close to vast natural areas. For example, the southwest neighbourhood of Lakeview is adjacent to both the Glenmore Reservoir and Weaselhead Flats.

NEW COMMUNITY PHASES

Consider the exact location of your prospective property in relation to future phases of development. If you’re thinking about moving to an up and coming suburban community, buying a home in the middle of an already developed phase should limit your exposure to construction noise and hazards.

26 NextHome.ca

For inner city homes, be familiar with zoning regulations and be on the lookout for news of future multi-family projects nearby.

MAIN ROUTES

A quiet ambiance around your house is high on many buyers’ checklists nowadays. A property on the corner of a main street in the inner city or bordering a sound barrier in a suburban community, might affect your enjoyment of your new home. Make sure you walk around the neighbourhood during daytime and see what sounds you hear at different locations.

WALKABILITY

If you work downtown and desire to walk to and from work every day, buying in West Hillhurst, for example, instead of Hillhurst may be a good idea initially. But over the long haul, the additional walk may become draining. Having

quick-and-easy access on foot to a nearby entertainment district, such as Kensington, may afford you the walkable, inner city lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

So, buying a property 20 minutes away on foot from the district, compared to one five minutes away could make all the difference in how much you enjoy your new place.

Once again, these are small details but are important in your level of satisfaction with your home purchase over the long haul.

Happy house hunting!!

Backyard RETREAT

A glimpse at interior stylist Jaclyn Harper’s backyard makeover hen I decided to tackle my backyard, I felt overwhelmed. There was so much to do! Can you relate? After much deliberation, I chose to put in a new concrete patio, creating a clean slate for the backyard. This really was the jumping-off point for the entire design. It was my vision to have three different zones (dining, lounging and food prep), and concrete served as a great way to separate the spaces.

Once I had decided on the dimensions of the new concrete areas, I needed to measure the spaces for furniture. I had fallen in love with an eight-ft. reclaimed teak table, but it was too big for my side yard. That didn’t stop me! Last minute, I decided to increase the area of the concrete patio to accommodate the table. I just couldn’t live without it.

When choosing the sectional for the lounge area, I knew I needed something that would be durable and weather-proof but comfortable as well. The South Beach three-piece aluminum outdoor sectional seating set from Home Depot

DINING

LOUNGING

(homedepot.ca) was a perfect choice. It has an aluminum frame, so it’s lightweight and rustproof, and is completely covered in Sunbrella fabric so it’s UV resistant and weatherproof, too.

Once the furniture was in place, it was time to accessorize. This is the most important step if you want your outdoor living space to feel like an extension of your indoors. My biggest tip? Use lots of pillows and tons of throw blankets (check out bouclair.com for a great selection). This not only looks cosy and comfortable but makes for an extremely inviting area. Anyone can put patio furniture in their backyard, but accessories can help completely personalize the space.

For lighting, I used stringed lights and low-lying lanterns to create an intimate outdoor feel (cost effective as well). Plus, they look pretty. And last but not least, incorporating splashes of colour here and there (I chose a sapphire blue Weber barbecue and lots of greenery) can bring a backyard to life.

I’m thrilled with my backyard retreat, and I hope it can inspire your own makeover.

GENSTAR CELEBRATES AN ARRAY OF NEW SHOWHOMES IN WALDEN A tantalizing array of new showhomes covering four different product lines to entice a wide range of buyers is being celebrated

by Genstar Development Company on June 23 in the southeast community of Walden.

Genstar will host a special event with food trucks on site to encourage new-home buyers to visit the showhomes that opened this spring on separate parades within the community.

“We are excited about the opening of the showhomes that offer something for every buyer, including duplexes and laned homes to move-up homes and semi-estates,” says Project Manager Travis Putnam.

“Walden has been incredibly popular with buyers because it’s a vibrant, family-friendly community that offers a great selection of housing styles and has an abundance of already established parks, playgrounds, pathways and neighbourhood convenience,” he says. “People love that they can get a new home in an already established community.”

34 NextHome.ca

“Walden also stands out because of its unique architectural design,” he adds. “There is a fusion of traditional and modern styles that offer a creative edge to the design. Traditional architectural styles form a strong base to the architectural component of the neighbourhood while the inclusion of an Urban Modern style with clean lines and edgy materials provides uniqueness.”

Among the showhomes being celebrated include the semiestates on ridge lots in Phase 51,

which Putnam says, “overlook the Bow River and Fish Creek Park with views of the city and the mountains to the west so they’re really spectacular.”

Builders Arcuri Homes, Cardel Homes and California Homes are crafting semi-estates on these lots with Arcuri and California each having showhomes.

Cardel, Excel Homes and Homes

by Avi have two showhomes each on the single-family move up parade, and Cardel has both duplex and laned showhomes,

while Excel has laned showhomes – all inviting visitors to explore. Avi is also building laned and duplex showhomes, which, schedule depending, could be open for the June 23 event.

Showhomes can be conveniently accessed from 210th Avenue. All showhomes, except for those on the ridge, are on the corner of Walgrove Boulevard and Walgrove Terrace.

Also building in Walden this year are Daytona Homes and Prominent Homes that have move

up spec homes available, which can be viewed by appointment.

Buyers also have a wide range of multi-family offerings to choose from in Walden, including: Avi Urban’s Winston and Jackson; Cardel Lifestyles’ Walden Place; Excel’s Holland Park; and Rockford Developments’ Axis.

One major benefit for residents in Walden is the wide range of neighbourhood conveniences, with the Gates of Walden, which includes a Save-On-Foods and Shopper’s Drug Mart.

Development is also beginning on the new 65acre, 700,000-sq.-ft. regional commercial centre along 210 Avenue S.E., and Putnam expects a new gas bar and a Tim Hortons will open this summer, with more stores and services to come in the future.

Walden residents enjoy having quick access to Macleod and Stoney Trails, as well as to Deerfoot Trail; being close to a variety of amenities on Macleod Trail and in Shawnessy; and being just five minutes from the Somerset LRT. Calgary Transit also offers bus service in Walden.

ADVICE | BILD ALBERTA REPORT

TURN YOUR WISH LIST INTO

YOUR NEW HOME CARMEN WYTON

One of the most essential steps in the new-home buying process is looking over plans and viewing model homes. While this can leave you feeling overwhelmed with choice, coming prepared and knowing exactly what you need in your dream home will make your whole experience more enjoyable and exciting.

PLAN AHEAD

It can be hard to picture what your new home will look like when it’s built so before you dive into looking at plans, take some time to consider exactly what you need (and want!) in a home.

Can’t live without a kitchen island or a main floor bedroom? Maybe you’re planning to have children or you’re about to be an empty nester. Are you thinking about the possibility of an in-law suite? These considerations will affect how much space you need, as well as the floorplan of your home.

Once you’ve thought about what you need, create a handy list that you can consult as you begin viewing different plans and models.

through the model of your future home, keep your budget in mind.

Ask what is included in the base price, what the upgrades are and how much they will add to the cost. This includes all the finishing touches such as countertops, cabinets, flooring, appliances, fixtures and any other design choices you might see.

ENVISIONING YOUR HOME

CUSTOMIZATIONS AND BUDGET

The ability to customize your future home to your taste is one of the most exciting things about buying a newly built home.

It should also be both fun and affordable. So while you’re looking 38 NextHome.ca

Even after you’ve toured models, it can be hard to picture exactly what your home will look like. Many builders use computer graphics that can display 3D floorplans and assist you in creating furniture cutouts and traffic patterns so that

you can see exactly how the space will work for you.

Above all, if you stick to what you need from your new home, it will be easier to get into one that works for you.
