Smaller households, smaller homes Canadian households are shrinking, according to Stats Canada.

Seven decades ago, the average household consisted of 4.3 people, by 2011, the average size had dropped to 2.5 people per household, albeit, there’s plenty more of us to house.

While the majority of Canadian homes built over the last century were created to support larger households, traditionally comprised of two parents with children, nowadays one or two people make up the majority of households, which is why apartment and condo living, in urban areas in particular, has

become increasingly popular.

The impact of smaller families on the Canadian housing market has been significant, spurring a dramatic change. The introduction of more rental properties and housing options of all shapes and sizes is effectively servicing smaller households who need affordable options. While larger dwellings are still a need, the next time you see another crane in the air keep this new demographic dynamic in mind. While Canada continues to grow, new housing needs will continue to reshape the cities and homes we live in.

Welcome to spring, finally

+ get social 18 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Spring is finally here – no, it really is – a period in the real estate industry normally associated with busy season.

It’s that time of year when, after what’s turned out to be a pretty mild winter, many Canadians emerge from hibernation and want to get out and search for a new home.

Builders, too, often use this period to launch new developments, and add incentives to entice buyers into snapping up remaining inventory in existing communities.

Spring this year in Edmonton

comes with the additional market characteristics that may be a little more challenging than in other parts of Canada.

Still, combine these developments with what are expected to be continuing low interest rates, and you have a pretty welcoming environment to begin your home search.

And if it takes a little longer than the spring season, as the Alberta and Edmonton economies regain lost momentum, take your time – homebuying opportunities will likely still be there later in 2016.

This unique neighbourhood offers distinctive residential design that combines a mixture of home styles that create streetscapes which are rich in character.

and outstanding design. A variety of home options are available, with the newest townhome project joining the community in March – the Canvas. Hamilton explains that this is the community’s first townhome development and it will feature “modern architecture for a modern lifestyle, which really fits with what the Paisley community is all about.” These gorgeous new homes will start in the low $200s and reach up to 1,403 sq.ft. – a perfect starter home or downsize option!

Designed for those who love the Riverbend area, who want the maintenance-free lifestyle that a condo offers, but who want lots of living space, The Leger delivers.

the community’s main transit hub on 23rd Avenue. It’s also proximate to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, cafes, doctors and other professionals, schools and golf courses. And being close to both the Anthony Henday and the Whitemud Freeway makes commuting quick and simple.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED AT the LEGER

There are a handful of floorplans to choose from, and suites start under $300,000. Now selling and possessions start in April 2016.

Of course, the sooner you get in the more choice you have on floorplans and units.

So swing by the sales centre today at 625 Leger Way. Mon-Wed 4pm-7pm, weekends 1pm-5pm. For more information, you can also go to www.brass3.com, or call Troy Stenson from Re/Max River City at 780-918-0678 or 780-439-7000.

BRASS3.COM

1500 SQ FT

BRASS III has an excellent reputation as a builder of choice in the Riverbend/Terwillegar area. They know the community, they know the amenities and residents, and they know how to build great projects (they’ve built over a dozen projects in the area to date). This is amplified at The Leger.

The Leger’s 60 units include two-bedroom, two-bathrooms, and are between 1,250 and 1,550 sq ft. All units features nine-foot ceilings, premier finishings like hardwood and tile floors, granite countertops, seven appliances (stainless steel appliances in the kitchen) and oversized balconies. All homes are self-contained, too, with their own hot water tank and heating system, and in-suite laundry.

The building will also have low condo fees because there are no common amenities in the building—other than the heated underground parking. Instead, resources are put toward towards elements like soundproofing and improved construction materials.

The Leger is in a prime location, in the heart of Terwillegar. It is steps from the new multimillion dollar Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre (with its pools, indoor track, gym, gymnasiums, ice sheets and indoor playground) and just a quick hop to

Advice | CHBA ALBERTA

Beaumont

Think long term about real estate

By Jim Rivait

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MAYBE YOU’VE HEARD that Beyonce is coming to Edmonton this spring.

Depending on your musical tastes, this may be big deal or not.

It’s more likely you’re wondering why someone from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association is providing concert updates in New Home Guide.

The connection is confidence.

Big-time concert promoters such as Live Nation still have confidence that the Edmonton economy can support one of only two Canadian tour dates for a star such as Beyonce. And people here are still expressing their confidence in Edmonton’s future by buying new homes.

This might seem to run contrary to much of what you hear these days with low oil prices and the impact that has on employment.

Perhaps a little context will help.

Edmonton’s unemployment rate was up the last time stats were released, but remains under the national average. The rate for the metro area is lower than 20 of the major cities tracked by Statistics Canada, including Toronto. Montreal and Ottawa.

If that doesn’t make you feel a little more confident about where the local economy stands, consider the oilsands. You might have seen a headline warning that “Oilsands construction jobs to shrink by 84%.”

This sounds bad – and it is certainly a change from what was expected. But the report by PetroLMI also noted that 30 YPNEXTHOME.CA

the surge of oilsands construction over the past few years will mean more hiring to operate and maintain those new facilities. By 2020, when a lower pace of construction is expected to eliminate 10,305 jobs, the number of additional workers needed to run and repair the plants will climb by 9,870.

The net effect is a loss of just one per cent of jobs. The new jobs are permanent and bring greater economic stability than the fly-in, flyout labour force of the boom years.

When you’re assessing the strength of the local economy, it’s also worthwhile to recognize how much the city has grown in the recent past.

ATB Financial recently calculated that Edmonton grew by more than 40 per cent since 2001, adding 400,000 people to the metro population.

Even if the number of people moving here slips, Edmonton has built a lot of momentum to carry us through economic cycles.

To put this growth into perspective, it’s 6.5 times the number of

people who could squeeze into Commonwealth Stadium in May to see Beyonce.

There’s an old saying about the risks of putting off a home purchase because of economic uncertainty: “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.”

Beyonce puts it a little differently in the song Single Ladies: “If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.”

If you were planning to buy a new home but are holding off because the daily headlines focus on short-term pain instead of long-term gain, maybe it’s time to reconsider.

Or like Beyonce, you might be singing “Oh, oh, oh” in a couple years.

THE CLAREVIEW AREA is made up

of eight small neighbourhoods in Edmonton’s far Northeast, tucked between the North Saskatchewan River and Manning Drive on the west.

Updated recreational facilities, the LRT line, schools, shopping centres and affordable housing attracts young families and newcomers to the neighbourhood.

Lifestyle On weekends, Clareview residents are busy carting kids to and from hockey games, walking the dog in Kennedale Ravine and running errands around Clareview Towne Centre. Ethnic diversity is evident here. A wide range of cultures can be seen in grocery store line-ups, multi-use trails and on the crowded LRT platform where neighbours wait together to take the train downtown to work.

Vibe With two movie theatres, several recreation centres, box store shopping centres, and river valley parks there is always something to do in Clareview.

Residents join the sometimes-heavy traffic along 137th avenue and 50th

street, emerging from their quiet residential streets to run errands or catch the LRT. Meet the neighbours Clareview is home to many families as well as young married and single adults. There is a wide range of ethnic diversity here as newcomers from all over the world and from other Canadian provinces are attracted to its affordable housing and close proximity to public transportation and schools.

In the area There is a high density of schools in the Clareview area, each adjacent to a playground or park. Big-box stores, restaurants, medical centres, libraries and other businesses are right in the neighbourhood. The Clareview Community Recreation Centre is one of the best in the city.

Planes, trains & automobiles Clareview was one of the first Edmonton neighbourhoods in the city to access the LRT system. The Clareview LRT Station’s park-and-ride is used by downtown commuters from Clareview and surrounding

neighbourhoods. Manning Drive leads right to Anthony Henday Drive, Edmonton’s nearly-completed ring road while 50th street takes you out to Yellowhead Trail.

The good, the bad & the rest Lowrise apartments, townhomes, multi-family units and bungalows create a wide range of housing options; with many less-expensive than in other parts of the city.

Unfortunately, a high density of affordable housing can contribute to crime in the area. Although Clareview is mostly safe, the far Northeast has gained a reputation for its higher crime rate.

THE TIME TO BUY IS NOW! That is the Multi Million Dollar question.

Having started in the New Home industry as far back as 1991, I have seen many ups and downs along the way.Have we reached the bottom? I would say yes we have as far as pricing goes.

In my travels recently, I noticed inventory levels in single family, duplex and townhome inventory drying up. Builders have delayed new projects and spec building from the 4th quarter of 2015, thus will put some pressure on available units. A good selection still exists, so you have some choices to consider.

Builders have sharpened their pencil, so take advantage of this and find your new home.

If your employment is stable, this should also give you confidence in your pursuit. Our dollar is showing signs of recovery, as well as oil has seen gains recently. The biggest challenge I see is in the financial qualification process for first time buyers and new

Canadians. The Banks are tough, but that is a good thing for our economy as a whole.

Thank God we do not have to deal with the craziness they have in Vancouver. Nice place to visit, but wouldn’t want to live there. If you have spoken to a Mortgage Specialist, see where you stand, and get you there and buy! If you are not quite there yet, continue your pursuit of home ownership. For the ones renting, need I say stop paying off your landlords mortgage, and start paying off yours. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones if you have your finances in order. There are thousands of families out there who would love to be in your shoes. They will get there one day if that is what their goal is.

There are deals to be had out there as we speak, but this will not last forever. I have heard rumblings of price increases coming in the second quarter. Yes, we have seen this Rodeo before. The time to buy is now!

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

5 reasons 2016 is a good year to buy a home in Canada markets is off the charts. Greater Vancouver average home prices rose 20.56 per cent in the last year, 31.58 per cent over the last three years. For the GTA, the figures are 10.69 and 27.44 per cent, respectively.

By Wayne Karl

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

WHY IS 2016 A GOOD YEAR TO BUY

a home in Canada? Let us count the ways.

1. Low interest rates In its latest rate announcement on March 9, the Bank of Canada held its target for the overnight rate at 0.50 per cent, citing a setback brought on by a decline in oil and commodities prices. BoC expects the economy to grow by about 1.5 per cent in 2016 and 2.5 per cent in 2017.

Some experts, such as Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets, even anticipated the Bank would reduce the rate. Though it didn’t happen then, he still expects interest rates to remain low through 2016, if not fall.

2. The upside of down prices When the The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released its latest statistics on Feb. 16, one number jumped off the page and into the headlines: 17 per cent – the rate by which the national average sale price rose on a year-over-year basis in January.

“Holy,” prospective homebuyers might have thought, “how will I ever be able to buy a home if this keeps happening?”

The key thing to look for when you see such news, however, is what’s happening in your market. Real estate is local, not national. You don’t buy the Canadian market, or even a

48 YPNEXTHOME.CA

provincial or regional one. You buy one home in one location.

Excluding British Columbia and Ontario from CREA’s January stats, the national average sale price actually declined slightly, by 0.3 per cent.

Economies and housing sectors in markets such as Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon are feeling the pinch of the extended slowdown in oil and gas. For existing homeowners, of course, this isn’t great news, as average home prices in Calgary dropped 3.05 per cent year-over-year in January; in Saskatoon, they fell 2.11 per cent.

For prospective buyers, however, this means opportunity.

3. The hot gets hotter The Toronto and Vancouver housing markets continue to roll along, recording record sales and prices. If you live there and you’re fortunate enough to be able to buy, particularly in the lowrise category, the forecasts for 2016 are for more growth.

Again looking at the CREA’s stats for January, B.C.’s Lower Mainland and the GTA contributed most to the national increase. Greater Vancouver (20.56 per cent) and the Fraser Valley (16.94 per cent) posted the largest gains, followed by Greater Toronto (10.69 per cent).

Longer-term performance for these

4. History is on your side Have you ever heard the adage, “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait,” but aren’t sure what it means, exactly?

While there are no guarantees, in short, real estate in Canada is a proven performer over time.

Sure, Vancouver and Toronto have shown the most spectacular historical growth, but plenty of unsung markets in Canada have performed well over time, thank you very much.

5. Spring is finally here Spring in real estate is typically “busy season.” While it’s largely been a mild winter in much of Canada, the warmer weather and longer days generally encourage more activity in the market. Those who were thinking of selling but delayed through the winter months might now throw up that “For Sale” sign.

Those looking to buy are similarly more enthused about getting out and looking around when the weather is nicer, and when, coincidentally, listings usually increase.

Even on the new-home front, builders often use the spring season to launch new developments, and to add incentives for any remaining inventory in existing communities.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

The 5 biggest mortgage mistakes to avoid

By Alyssa Richard

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

NOW THAT YOU’VE decided to buy a home, there are numerous steps in the process you’ll have to follow.

When it comes to getting a mortgage, it could cost you in the long run if you make a mistake or two.

To help you save money and avoid potential problems down the road, here are some mistakes you should avoid:

1. Not knowing your credit score/rating Lenders love borrowers with a good credit rating. They’re often the ones who pay their bills on time, don’t use a large percentage of their available credit, and have different types of credit, such as a credit card, car loan, and line of credit. If you have good credit, you should be able to qualify for the best mortgage rates. But if you have bad credit, expect to get a mortgage with a higher interest rate. Not sure of what your rating is?

You can get your credit score from Equifax or TransUnion.

2. Not being pre-approved for a mortgage If you’ve been looking at properties for a while, you might suddenly find the perfect home. But it’s possible you won’t be able to afford the place. That’s why it’s best to get preapproved for a mortgage so you’ll know how much you can afford.

Many lenders will guarantee your pre-approved rate for a period of 50 YPNEXTHOME.CA

between 60 and 120 days. That’ll give you time to find a property in your price range.

3. Not shopping around a mortgage If you think you’ll get rewarded with the lowest rate from your financial institution because you’ve been a loyal customer for a number of years, think again. Your institution may not have the best rate while a rival across the street might have a lower rate.

You should do some comparison shopping on a site like RateHub.ca before getting a mortgage. You can also hire a mortgage broker who can do all the legwork at no cost to you.

4. Not making more payments No one really likes to carry a large mortgage. Typically, mortgage payments are made on a monthly basis but there are ways to pay it off faster by using accelerated biweekly payments. For example, if you have a $400,000 mortgage with a 25-year amortization and make monthly payments, your mortgage

won’t be paid off until 2041. We used RateHub’s mortgage payment calculator and found if you make accelerated payments, you’d pay off your mortgage nearly three years earlier and save about $15,000 in interest. Also, most lenders allow you to make lump-sum payments, which will let you pay your mortgage down faster and save you thousands of dollars in interest.

5. Not preparing for extra costs Buying a home can end up costing a lot more than you’d expect. First, there are closing costs, which include legal fees, title insurance and the land transfer tax. You might also need to reimburse the seller for the property taxes and utility bills they’ve already paid. These costs will add up to from anywhere between 1.5 and four per cent of the property’s purchase price.

Alyssa Richard is the founder and CEO of ratehub.ca, a mortgage rate comparison site that aims to empower Canadians to make smart financial decisions.

Secord Chalet THE PERFECT FIT FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS

Secord Chalet townhomes by Hopewell Residential are sure to suit your tastes, your lifestyle and your budget. With floorplans that range from 1,236 to 1,402 sq. ft. in size, and complete with garages, decks and a welcoming shared greenspace, Secord Chalet is the perfect fit for first-time homebuyers, couples and families.

“All of our townhomes are all so cleverly designed, with the functional living spaces today’s homeowners need, along with the stylish fit and finish they want,” says Hopewell’s marketing manager Nicole McLaws. “And some of our floorplans also benefit from fantastic new three-bedroom options, which is great news if you’re

seeking an affordable, well-planned, welcoming home for your family.”

Secord Chalet’s townhomes are priced from the attainable $290,000s, and are conveniently located in the established community of Secord, just moments from parks, schools, greenspace and more. With careful attention to design and liveability, plus an unbeatable location, McLaws says Secord Chalet is a natural choice for townhome buyers.

“At Secord Chalet, it’s all yours,” she says. “We customize a townhome to your personal tastes and lifestyle, with so many options to choose from, plus incredible standard features like nine-foot ceilings, oversized windows, window blinds, and stainless steel appliances.”

These coveted west-end townhomes have also just opened a brand new addition to their show home line-up, the A Plan. This cozy and inviting ‘Café Culture’ inspired townhome, featuring woods, mixed metals and classic modern lines, brings the nostalgic coffee house comforts home – and is now open for viewing.

“We know that people are sure to love our designercurated finishings, unparalleled style, affordable prices and great design - all in the established community of Secord,” McLaws says.

For details, visit the show homes at Secord Blvd. & 217th Street or call 780.757.4388.
