LUXURY TOWNHOMES DESIGNED FOR TODAY’S BUYER

ords like stylish, modern & even a little bit sexy come to mind as you enter the Secord Corners Townhomes. Gleaming granite countertops, large windows and a glass tile backsplash in the kitchen give the space a sleek, urban feeling while features like the large rear deck & oversize double attached garage are exactly what suburban buyers are looking for. Innovative finishes like glass walls instead of the usual spindle stair railings allow light to flow throughout the home.

Thoughtfully positioned in the west end of Edmonton, Secord Corners townhomes are located in the gorgeous community of Secord. This family oriented community is 12 NEW CONDO GUIDE | VOLUME 23 ISSUE 06 | NewHomeAndCondoGuide.ca

just off past Lewis Estates and provides easy access to West Edmonton Mall plus the Whitemud and Anthony Henday freeways.

Just a stone’s throw away from grocery stores and the established community of Parkland, Secord Corners offers spectacular value for residents. Easily accessible and close to many amenities, these townhomes are the exactly what northwest Edmonton has been waiting for.

Perfectly sized at 1536 square feet, these homes have been specifically designed to maximize the floor space. The open concept design allows one room to flow into another, giving the overall impression of a much larger home. A spacious gourmet style kitchen with a convenient eating bar is ideal for active families or professional couples with hectic lifestyles while the dining nook is the perfect spot for family meals or a party. The great room features plenty of room for a luxurious flat screen TV, an oversize window and has

lots of room for entertaining.

A well-placed half bath is very convenient for both residents and guests. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer fantastic space for children or make excellent offices or hobby rooms. The master suite is a great size and comes with a large walk in closet and four-piece ensuite. Another four-piece bathroom completes this level.

The lower level of the home contains the laundry room, storage room and oversize double garage. Many valuable upgraded features of these homes include five appliances, an oversized deck and full landscaping of both front and back yards. The extra deep double attached rear garage has additional storage for the kids stuff or recreational equipment.

Secord Corners Townhomes have been planned and are being constructed by Footprint Developments.

This company specializes in creating greater Edmonton’s most value rich townhome communities.

Very popular with today’s buyers, their first development, Terwillegar Corners, sold out in just months.

Secord Corners Townhomes are master crafted and come complete with valuable, upgraded features and finishes. There are only 20 townhomes remaining in the final phase of this private community. Homes are selling fast - so do not wait to reserve your Secord Corners home! Priced from the $280’s these homes are definitely west Edmonton’s most impressive new home opportunity.

For more information about Secord Corners Townhomes, please call 780.966.6524 or visit their show home in Secord at 9535-217st, just off of Secord Blvd. To get to Secord, turn off the Whitemud onto Secord, turn left on Secord Blvd & follow the signs.

SUSAN LEGGE Editor-in-chief

Susan.Legge@ypnexthome.ca Follow me on Twitter at Twitter.com/SusanLegge Like us on Facebook Search: Condo Guide

New-home buyers are often driven by different influences, but there’s no doubt lifestyle is an increasingly important factor. Whether you’re considering a home in the suburbs or a pied-à-terre in the city, you’re likely looking to compensate for what you don’t have in your current residence.

The amount of living space is usually the issue – either too much or too little.

Most young families are looking for more living space, which is why builders and developers are designing homes with interiors that maximize every square foot of living space to make the most of your money.

As we get older, the quest for living space may take a different direction.

Downsizing is often the answer, although many homeowners with existing homes in suburban or rural areas are acquiring townhomes or a small “crash pad” in the city that gives owners and their friends a chance to enjoy the social and cultural activities of the city without having to drive for hours to get home afterward.

In today’s hectic world, your new home will be your retreat, so it’s important to find one that suits your needs and lifestyle.

Good luck in your search!

BE THE ‘EARLY BIRD’ THIS SPRING

LYDIA MCNUTT Editor

Lydia.McNutt@ypnexthome.ca Follow me on Twitter at Twitter.com/LydiasTweets

You’ve decided to buy a new home this spring. Visions of gleaming glass condo towers rising on the skyline are certainly inspiration to get out there and stake your claim. But oftentimes, the real deals are to be found long before the shovels even hit the ground.

There are many benefits to buying your condo early in the development process. Purchasing in the pre-construction phase often means you’ll get a lower price, and by the time you move in, your condo will likely have appreciated in value.

Beyond the equity you’ll gain by virtue of patience, the period between purchase and occupancy date (which can be a few years, in some cases) offers homebuyers a chance to save up a larger downpayment. Mortgage interest rates are currently at historic lows, but we don’t know how long this will last. The larger the downpayment, the less you’ll need to borrow and the less interest you’ll pay.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer, use the waiting period before occupancy to prime yourself for the costs of condo ownership. Set aside the equivalent of your condo maintenance fees every month to get accustomed to paying this bill. Then, put that money toward your downpayment.

Now consider the rate of real estate appreciation in Canada’s major markets, and buying a pre-construction condo makes perfect financial sense. As they say, the early bird gets the worm.

INDUSTRY UPDATE

TORTURE TESTING your new home

By Jim Rivait

T

orture tests for doors and windows are just one way builders are making sure new homes meet the highest standards.

The new CSA Group lab at the Edmonton Research Park is equipped to perform 37 different tests of durability and energy efficiency.

Windows endure punishing blasts of water while specially designed machines open and close doors up to half a million times.

The facility is responding to demand from local suppliers for testing to meet new requirements under the National Building Code for independent testing of their products.

“The changes to the Code will mean every window, door and skylight sold in Canada will have to be certified,” says Nashir Jiwani, CSA Group regional vice-president, Canada.

Testing is nothing new for companies that supply the multitude of individual components that will go into your new home. Homes today are built according to exacting standards that reflect the many advances in science and technology over the years.

Starting back in 1941, the National Research Council (NRC) published the country’s first National Building Code. As the NRC points out, today’s construction technologies and techniques differ vastly from those in use back when new movies in the theatres included Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon and Dumbo.

The new techniques and technologies developed for building homes face rigorous scrutiny at the national level and then face additional examination before the Alberta government employs them in this province.

One great example of how innovation has benefited both consumers and the environment is the huge improvement in energy efficiency.

A couple of years ago, CHBA did an interesting study that looked at how much energy a typical home built in 1975 used in a year. Then we searched archives to find the original construction specs and determined that the same home built today according to current codes would consume 66 per cent less energy. The amount of energy needed for heating dropped an astounding 78 per cent.

The latest round of national code changes will bring new energy-saving measures that will reduce both fuel bills and the carbon footprint of homes.

And for homebuyers who want to push the environmental envelope even further, Net Zero homes are popping up around the city that produce as much energy as they use.

Keeping up to date with changing for codes for building, fire, plumbing and energy use is a challenge. Our building technology expert is tracking some 800 different codes changes and arranging sessions for CHBA members to help them understand what’s new.

Some things about building new homes never change – attention to detail and focus on quality – but professional builders are always looking

26 NEW CONDO GUIDE | VOLUME 23 ISSUE 06 | NewHomeAndCondoGuide.ca

for ways to make homes more comfortable, affordable and efficient.

The confidence in homes built today is confirmed by the 10-year warranty that comes standard with every new house these days.

Building homes is a serious business because your home is likely the single biggest purchase you will ever make.

The new CSA lab where windows and doors get put to the test is also serious business. This is the same lab where they do explosives testing, so you know these people aren’t fooling around.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents over 1,500 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

Jim Rivait is chief executive officer of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta. Starting his career working in government, Jim spent the last decade working in the private sector specializing in government relations, advocacy, strategic communications, policy development/analysis and association management.

NEW ADULT VILLA PROJECT....

Lang Built Homes is excited to announce the start of construction on our New Adult community, Edgewater Villas, in Spruce Grove. We carefully choose this valuable location, in Harvest Ridge, because it borders both a park and a lake. Many of our Villas will include walk-out or daylight basements that back onto these amenities. Our customers have recognized the value of this property and have already responded by securing 12 of the 26 Villas being offered.

Our homes, in Edgewater Villas, are designed to create a quiet and secure maintenance free community where residents own both the land and the home. This is the lifestyle you deserve, so we invite you to enjoy time for travel, with the security of knowing your home is being maintained and cared for.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED AT the LEGER 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 range from two-bedroom, two-bathrooms, to two-bedroom plus den plus 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 multimil-

Edmonton at low risk of housing market correction

By Lydia McNutt

Edmonton’s price increases are on track with buyer demand and levels of personal disposable income. Lower oil prices have slowed the economy, immigration, housing demand and thus, prices.

SURVEY SAYS...

According to a recent survey by the Appraisal Institute of Canada,

dmonton is in the safe zone when it comes to a housing market correction, for now, according to a recent report by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) which identifies Canada’s riskiest housing markets. In spite of Alberta’s oil woes, and the sky-high prices in Vancouver and Toronto, Winnipeg and Regina were the chart-toppers when it came to risk level.

CMHC identifies housing markets as “overvalued” when real estate price gains have surpassed increases in personal disposable income.

Overvaluation is one of CMHC’s risk measures, along with overheating; acceleration in the growth of house prices; and overbuilding.

From a national perspective, CMHC observed modest overvaluation across the country, with real estate price gains slightly outpacing personal disposable income, population growth and other factors. But “overheating, acceleration in house prices and overbuilding are not a concern at this time,” the housing authority said.

Edmonton’s price increases are on track with buyer demand and levels of personal disposable income. Lower oil prices have slowed the economy, immigration, housing demand and thus, prices.

Meanwhile, Calgary is at an increased risk of overvaluation, but the city fared well when it came to overheating, overbuilding and the rate of house price 56 NEW CONDO GUIDE | VOLUME 23 ISSUE 06 | NewHomeAndCondoGuide.ca

growth. The drop in real estate sales owing to economic uncertainty is expected to temper price growth, “which could lessen the current risk of overvaluation in Calgary,” CMHC reported.

While some of Canada’s housing markets have mellowed, this isn’t the case from coast to coast.

Meanwhile, real estate prices in other markets continue to rise – out of reach, many fear. The usual suspects would be Vancouver and Toronto, where the average detached home has surpassed the $1 million mark. But in spite of the ever-increasing prices in these cities, Vancouver ranked as a low-risk housing market, while Toronto measured at the moderate risk level.

At the other end of the spectrum, Winnipeg and Regina are in the hot seat, posing the greatest threat for a housing market correction, with strong price growth being overshadowed by modest disposable income increases.

FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

WHO AND WHAT TO BELIEVE?

By Wayne Karl

F

or homeowners, when someone says your home is drastically overvalued, naturally, you worry. If you’re a prospective homebuyer, such news might cause you to delay your purchase. That’s the power of housing valuations.

The problem is, who and what to believe?

Here are some recent examples of Canada’s housing valuations, from a variety of sources: Deutsche Bank: overvalued by 60 per cent Bank of Canada: overvalued by 30 per cent International Monetary Fund: overvalued by 11 per cent TD Bank: overvalued by 11 per cent Canadian housing economist Will Dunning: undervalued by nine per cent With such a wide variance in valuations, and using differing measures, who to believe, indeed?

“Far too many foreign economists try to make overly simplified statements about foreign housing markets they don’t understand enough about,” Calum Ross, mortgage broker and real estate investor.

“Above and beyond the traditional measures, there are a number of less tangible measures, such as the stability of social, political and economic systems at the federal, provincial and municipal level.

“Canada represents one of single largest countries in the world and going from coast to coast, Canada is home to a very diverse group of people with local economics that are vastly different,” Ross says. “Saying there is a Canadian housing market is no less ridiculous than saying there is ‘Canadian temperature.’”

Thankfully, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) added some context recently in its House Price Analysis and Assessment (editor’s note: for more information, flip to page 56), which provided a market-by-market snapshot by Canada’s larger centres. The report attached a risk level – low, moderate or high – for the major cities, using risk factors of overheating, acceleration in house prices, overvaluation and overbuilding.

With Regina and Winnipeg, of all places, being the only major centres earning “high risk” assessments, CMHC’s report reminds everyone that housing markets must be assessed on a micro level, not wide-swathing national viewpoints. Canada’s most expensive market, Vancouver, earned a “low risk,” while Toronto, the other market often mentioned in conversations about overvaluation, was ranked as “moderate risk.”

“From a pure economic theory standpoint, when interest rates are low, then real asset prices will go up,” says Ross. “Real estate is one of the most

60 NEW CONDO GUIDE | VOLUME 23 ISSUE 06 | NewHomeAndCondoGuide.ca

interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the global economy. When it comes to mortgages, what we know is that people have a tendency to buy payments and be less concerned with total debt. The lower interest rates and longer amortizations allow for lower payment and as long as payments stay affordable – many people won’t get caught up with the sticker shock of more expensive real estate prices.”

So, who to believe, next time you see a report on Canada’s housing valuations? Well, a Canadian source such as CMHC is a good start. Otherwise, as experts stress, remember to look at your individual market for a clearer indication, not the national assessment.

Edmonton’s best downtown location At 33 stories, Fox Two occupies the centre of Edmonton’s most sought-after downtown neighbourhood — the 104 Street Promenade. Situated on the corner of 102 Avenue and 104 Street, it is the last major tower to be built on this popular street.

Fox Two is the final and taller phase of Langham Developments’ Fox Towers project. The first phase — Fox One — is currently under construction and almost sold out.

Edmonton’s 104 Street Promenade was one of 4 finalists on the 2013 list of Great Streets in Canada, and is home to eclectic shops, restaurants and a summertime street-wide farmers’ market. Boasting a walk score of 98/100*, residents also enjoy unparalleled walkable and LRT access to the best of Edmonton, including the highly anticipated downtown arena.

Another Langham development, Icon Towers completed in 2010, was instrumental in hastening the rejuvenation of this popular neighbourhood, and the Fox Towers project will further cement its popularity.

*www.walkscore.com

Architectural excellence This striking 33-storey tower embodies superior design and quality in every respect.

From the expansive glass feature wall commanding spectacular views of the city and river valley, to the bold and colourful suite interiors that reflect today’s most popular trends — Fox Two is modern architectural elegance personified.

Stylish, well-conceived interiors Our dedicated team of designers were charged with creating the most efficient floor plans possible for every suite type in Fox Two. Every fixture, every fabric, every finish was selected to reflect today’s most popular trends and ensure timeless quality, beauty and longevity.

From architectural nuances like quartz kitchen countertops paired with sleek and colourful high-gloss kitchen cabinets, to creature comforts like heated parking stalls (at least 1 per unit), Fox Two is a testament to comfortable highrise living.

Choose from a total of 169 units in 1-3 bedroom configurations from 640 to 2,400 square feet.

The latest project from Langham Developments Since 2001, Langham has been creating exceptional developments — each imbued with the same unwavering mandate: to deliver strong unrivaled architecture, uncompromised in quality.

Langham is among Edmonton’s most experienced and reputable high rise builders, having completed 3 outstanding downtown towers to date: Icon 1, Icon 2 and Omega.

Construction has now started on Fox Two

MONTHLY PAYMENTS

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream condo 01 Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow. Divide by 1,000.

02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your condo.

06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

03 Take the total price of the condo and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream condo.

04 Refer to the chart above. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice.

(Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate.

If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
