Life events get you moving The decision to move is often triggered by a life event, such as a new job or a new addition to the family, or simply because you want a change of scenery. Whatever the reason, it’s important to address what your new needs are before you start hunting for a new place — rather than during. With all of the information available to you these days, it’s easy to get distracted. To keep you on track and up to date on the latest listings available across
Canada, check out this issue and our new website, YPNextHome.ca. Not only will you find an easy way to connect with prospective properties, you’ll be able to dig deep on details such as such as costs, neighbourhood information and much more. Deciding to move is easy, it’s finding the right place that can sometimes be tough. Let us help. Drop us a line and let us know if you have any questions or comments. We’d love to hear from you.

Good news, shoppers. Some great things are happening in Canadian retail and residential real estate, as our story on YPNextHome.ca (nexthome. yp.ca/malls-in-canada) illustrates. Now comes news that Loblaws is committing $1-billion to build new and renovate existing stores, adding thousands of new jobs. This is important because when large retailers undergo major expansions, it’s a sign of good times and that an area is on the upswing. Like proximity to mass transit, schools and other amenities,
being close to shopping is a major attraction for homebuyers. These features are among the keys to enjoying your home while you live there, as well as for potential resale value in the future. Large retailers and commercial ventures don’t just pop up in the middle of nowhere or in declining neighbourhoods. These companies make careful, long-range and well planned-out decisions in lockstep with municipalities and developers, based on hard data, research and demographic information.

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

Early 2016 Calgary & Edmonton Home Buyers Benefit Most From Market Conditions Choosing the right season to enter into a typical real estate market as a buyer involves trading off between a greater level of purchasing power in the fall/winter months – typically characterized by lower level of sales and listings – and a greater level of choice in the spring/ summer months – characterized by higher levels of sales and listing activity. As spring has now sprung, one should expect to see more ‘for sale’ real estate signs in bloom across the Calgary and Edmonton regions. Usually, inventory increases would come as a relief to any winter-market buyer who was unable to find his/her perfect home amongst winter’s stock. However, recent market conditions at any time of year have experienced unusually high existing, and new home inventory levels. Despite this level of choice, home purchasing levels within these markets have remained seasonally low, and lower by comparison to 2015. Recent buyers have exercised some of the strongest levels of purchasing power seen within these markets in over 6 years (see table below).
In fact, the savings earned by these buyers strongly outpaced current annual expectations, which call for annual average single-family (SF) and multi-family (MF) price savings of -2.2% and -1.5% respectively across the Calgary region, and -2.5% and -2.7% respectively across the Edmonton region. Looking ahead, 2016 will likely continue to be an odd year in terms of real estate inventories, as supply levels will fall on average throughout most of the year. This will no doubt be the trend amongst new housing supply as total housing unit starts were down -51% across the Calgary region and down -61% across the Edmonton region in the first quarter of 2016. For prices, these supply reductions will help ensure less price flexibility within the Calgary and Edmonton regional real estate markets, making today’s buyer’s position the strongest we’ll see for the foreseeable future. To put it simply, now is the time to buy.

BE GREEN LIKE A PRO, BY CONSERVING H2O! Water is the most important resource we have. You can go for long periods of time without oil, but try going too long without water and you won’t like the result. When the City of Edmonton was developing The Way We Green, an analysis was done on our water supply. Oddly enough, Edmontonians do fairly well comparatively as far as water consumption goes. Apparently we don’t waste as much water on our lawns as many jurisdictions do, likely because we get ample rain. Edmontonians use an average of 226 litres of water per day, 40 litres less than the national average, well done! Yet, there is an opportunity to do better. Water is one of those resources we tend to ignore. It seems we just turn the tap and it appears. Compounded with the fact that it is relatively inexpensive and that we have a large river flowing through our city, it doesn’t garner much attention from most people. But reducing our consumption of water isn’t expensive either so let’s see how things shape up. Showers account for approximately 35% of household water use which makes it an area of opportunity for water savings. Most conventional showerheads have a flow of 9.5 litres per minute, whereas new Watersense® rated showerheads use as little as 6.65 litres per minute, a 30% savings. In addition to water savings you reduce your energy use by not heating all that extra water. Now these are not the old water saving showerheads we had in the 80’s & 90’s. These are actually designed to operate with less water and provide give a very similar shower experience with comparable pressure. The “Car Wash” type of showers should be avoided; we all know the kind, 1 showerhead plus 2-10 other body sprays that come at you hard enough to flay the flesh off your bones. Even with 3 sprays and a typical showerhead, you are pumping out 10 gallons of hot water per minute. How long is your 50 gallon water tank going to last? Bathroom faucets are another easy retrofit. Simply changing the aerator on the end of the spigot to a more restrictive one
can change the flow from 8.36 litres per minute to 5.7 litres per minute; another 30% savings. Toilets are another huge water user in the home, accounting for 29% of water consumption. Current flushing technology is 6 litres per flush, but there are several high efficiency toilets on the market now that flush with 4.8 litres or less and outperform many of the 6 litre toilets; either one is a major step up from the old 13.8 litre and even older 20 litre toilets. Your dishwasher is an opportunity to save water and energy. Water usages vary between brands and models. Look for a unit that uses less than 20 litres per load. Some of the really efficient units can go as low as 12 litres per load. These will reduce your water and natural gas bill. Front load washing machines are a great water saver and energy saver. Additionally most of these units have a spin dry cycle that really gets the water out saving drying time. Front loads use less water, less detergent and, for the most part, out clean any top load washer. In our family (we have 4 kids) a drying cycle that is the same as washing cycle is very welcome. We’ve explored a large list of items here, so the question is: How much does this all cost? Well the answer is somewhat complicated, but on a new build, I’d say very little. There are Watersense® showerheads and faucets that are the same price as regular ones; it’s just a choice you and your builder make. The same goes for the toilets. Unless you’re comparing against an entry level product, a water saving dishwasher should only cost $0-100 more than a comparable standard dishwasher. Front load washing machines are rarely more than $100-200 more than a comparable top load model. All in all, a very easy upgrade and the payoff is probably less than 5 years and you will get improved performance.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING
First-time buyers left out of Budget 2016 By Wayne Karl
MORE ADVICE ONLINE nexthome.yp.ca/news/advice
FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS —
particularly those in expensive markets — thought they had a powerful friend in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Leading up to the election last fall, one of Trudeau’s campaign promises was to modernize the federal Home Buyers’ Plan. The plan as it stands now allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSP to put toward a down payment on a home. They then have up to 15 years to repay the funds. In 2009, then Prime Minister Stephen Harper raised the withdrawal limit to $25,000 from $20,000. In his own 2015 re-election campaign, Harper was proposing to increase it further, to $35,000. Trudeau had proposed to bring the HBP up to 2016 standards to allow Canadians impacted by sudden and significant life changes to buy a house without tax penalty. He said this would ease the burden on Canadians facing job relocation, the death of a spouse, marital breakdown or a decision to accommodate an elderly family member. However, in his inaugural budget — Budget 2016 tabled on March 22 — here’s what Trudeau’s first financial plan included for first-time homebuyers: absolutely nothing. No update or revision to the HBP was to be found. It would have been welcomed news to first-time buyers. Housing costs are rising (which is a good 30 YPNEXTHOME.CA
“Housing costs are rising... But saving and otherwise obtaining the funds to take that important first homebuying step are becoming increasingly difficult.” thing, once you own a home, as it’s an indication of market health). But saving and otherwise obtaining the funds to take that important first homebuying step are becoming increasingly difficult. This is especially true in Toronto, where the industry and others are raising concerns about affordability. This is also where the HBP and other initiatives prove their value. Through other measures, however, it is clear Trudeau is keeping an eye on the housing market, which is increasingly important given
economic and affordability challenges in some areas. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an existing homeowner looking for your next home, there may be other initiatives in the future to help you realize your homebuying plans.

Homeownership a millennial milestone By Jim Rivait
MORE ADVICE ONLINE nexthome.yp.ca/news/advice
I RECENTLY CAME across an old Edmonton Journal front-page headline warning readers that the cost of a three-bedroom home was set to soar to – wait for it – $146,000. Of course, that was way back in 1979 when Wayne Gretzky was just an NHL rookie. Even though the price sounds like a steal compared to today’s market, let’s not forget that homebuyers in the late 1970s were stuck in a two-decade long period where the five-year mortgage rate stayed firmly above 10 per cent. Buying a home has never been an easy decision, but it still remains the dream of each new generation. A recent survey by CIBC showed that home ownership is just as important to the 18-to 34-year-old age group as to older Canadians. Homeownership is considered important by 86 per cent of millennials, even though many young people are still renting (42 per cent) or living at home (22 per cent). While Canadians of all ages see homeownership as a great way to build financial equity and their retirement nest egg, younger buyers are more likely to feel the appeal of the personal freedom that comes with saying goodbye to the landlord – even if that’s mom and dad. “It’s a myth that millennials don’t 32 YPNEXTHOME.CA
want to own their own home,” says Barry Gollom, vice-president, mortgages and lending, CIBC. “Homeownership is an important milestone to many, and that hasn’t changed even though it has become increasingly difficult to get into the market.” Fortunately, Edmonton’s large population of young people doesn’t face the kind of hope-killing prices that you hear about in Toronto and Vancouver. Saving enough for a down payment on an average home in Toronto will take an average of 61 months; that rises to 90 months in Vancouver. Edmonton is ranked at a much more manageable 29 months. The CIBC poll echoes the findings of other research about the longterm value of homeownership; Mortgage Professionals Canada found that only four per cent of millennials think homeownership is a bad investment. Young buyers are more concerned about timing the market, with twice as many in the 18 to 34 bracket delaying a home purchase in hopes that prices will fall than buyers in the
more financially experienced 35- to 54-year-old group. They also worry when buying a resale home that they will be hit with a major and unexpected repair bill. A survey by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. found a one-third of young buyers discovered their fears were real when they took possession. One way for first-time buyers to raise their comfort levels is by purchasing a new home. The many advantages of new construction are a confidence booster when taking a big financial step forward. So is a warranty that provides assurance over a 10-year period. To learn more about new homes, check out the consumer resources on the CHBA website. It’s also where you can find CHBA members with the experience and expertise to guide you through your purchase. Jim Rivait is Chief Executive Officer of CHBA – Alberta.

PM Justin Trudeau’s Budget 2016 Report Card
Economy & job creation Though perhaps not specifically related to housing, everything evolves around the economy and jobs. After all, a strong economy begets job and wage growth, which begets consumer confidence and the ability to rent or buy – to live.
By Wayne Karl
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled Budget 2016 on March 22 – his inaugural budget - so New Condo Guide took a closer look at it from the housing perspective.
What was promised: To get the economy growing again, Trudeau said we need to immediately invest in helping our businesses and entrepreneurs – including those in manufacturing – become more innovative, competitive and successful. What was delivered: Something equally ambiguous. Budget 2016 “puts people first,” directing billions toward helping the middle class and those less fortunate, with the idea that this will boost economic growth. The hope is that more than 100,000 jobs will be created and the economy will grow by an additional one per cent over existing predictions. The government acknowledges that economic challenges persist in oil and commodities, and is extending Employment Insurance benefits in the hardest hit regions, such as Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Infrastructure spending Leading up to the budget, speculation was that where would be less than what was promised during last fall’s election campaign, and the focus would be on repairs instead of capital projects. What was promised: To invest in public transit to shorten commute times, cut air pollution,

strengthen our communities and grow our economy. “Over the next decade, we will quadruple federal investment in public transit, investing almost $20 billion more in transit infrastructure.” What was delivered: Phase 1 of the government’s infrastructure plan proposes to provide $11.9 billion over five years, beginning immediately: » $3.4 billion over three years to upgrade and improve public transit systems across Canada; » $5 billion over five years for investments in water, wastewater and green infrastructure projects across Canada; and » $3.4 billion over five years for social infrastructure, including affordable housing, early learning and child care, cultural and recreational infrastructure, and community health care facilities on reserve.
Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) The plan as it stands now allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSP to put toward a down payment on a home. They have up to 15 years to repay the funds. What was promised: To modernize the existing HBP to allow Canadians impacted by sudden and significant life changes to buy a house without tax penalty. Trudeau said this will ease the burden on Canadians facing job relocation, the death of a spouse, marital breakdown or a decision to accommodate an elderly family member. What was delivered: Nothing.

the HBP is nowhere to be found in Budget 2016. Through other measures, however, it is clear he’s keeping an eye on the housing market, which is increasingly important given economic and affordability challenges in some areas.
Rental/affordable housing What was promised: To encourage the construction of new rental housing by removing all GST on new capital investments in affordable rental housing. This will provide an estimated $125 million per year in tax incentives to grow and renovate the supply of rental housing. What was delivered: Budget 2016 proposes to invest $2.3
billion over two years, starting in 201617. Of this amount, $2.2 billion reflects the government’s commitment to invest in social infrastructure, including $739 million for First Nations, Inuit and northern housing. A significant portion of the $2.3 billion will be allocated to provinces and territories, which can identify communities where the need for affordable housing is greatest. To encourage the construction of affordable rental housing, Budget 2016 proposes to invest $208.3 million over five years, starting in 2016-17, in an Affordable Rental Housing Innovation Fund administered by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC). Funding would be used to test innovative business approaches – such as housing models with a mix of rental and homeownership – to lower the costs and risks of financing

affordable rental housing projects. The investment is expected to support the construction of up to 4,000 new affordable housing rental units over five years. CMHC is also to consult with stakeholders on an Affordable Rental Housing Financing Initiative to provide low-cost loans to municipalities and housing developers to build new affordable rental housing projects. Up to $500 million in loans would be available each year for five years, supporting the construction of more than 10,000 new rental units over this period.
Housing policy What was promised: To direct CMHC and the new Canada Infrastructure Bank to provide financing to support the construction of new, affordable rental housing for middle and low income Canadians. To review escalating home prices in high-priced markets such as Toronto and Vancouver, and consider policy tools that could keep homeownership within reach for more Canadians. What was delivered: Budget 2016 proposes to address this data gap by allocating $500,000 to Statistics Canada in 2016-17 to gather data on Canadian housing purchases by foreign buyers. This initiative could involve collaboration with the provinces, such as BC, which recently announced its intention to have homebuyers disclose whether they are citizens or permanent residents of Canada or another country. Also promised to consult with the provinces and territories, Indigenous and other communities, and key stakeholders in the coming year to develop a National Housing Strategy.

EIGHT WAYS TO START AN URBAN GARDEN By Brandon Bastaldo
38 YPNEXTHOME.CA
AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES DOWNTOWN, I can tell you firsthand
Cactus planter
that some of the preconceptions about city living are spot on: there’s not a ton of greenspace and, sometimes, it can even be a bit suppressing when it comes to getting that fresh air we all so desperately need. With the recent influx of condos up in every previously unoccupied nook and cranny of the city, greenspace is at a premium. Despite these eco obstacles, we can thank crafty humans, Pinterest and the Internet at large for helping to spread the green love. Urban gardeners and green thumbs from around the world have united on the Internet to deliver awesome options and ways for city dwellers to start wonderful, space-saving urban gardens that provide us with essential nutrients and fit into tight spaces. Without further ado, here’s my list of ways to start an urban garden.
If you’re one of those people who has trouble keeping plants alive, a cactus planter is ideal for you. Whether they’re potted or planted, featuring a variety of cacti in an urban garden is the definition of non-committal beauty. The best part is that if you forget to water them for a week, they’ll be just fine!
Hanging clay pot garden Look up! A hanging clay pot garden is a great solution for urbanites in need of somewhere to plant their
MORE INSPIRATION ONLINE nexthome.yp.ca/news/inspiration
Recycled hanging pop bottle planters The great thing about this concept is that it addresses two key issues with one solution. By reusing inexpensive, two-litre pop bottles and hanging them on your railings, these planters allow urban gardeners to save money and space. You can even decorate the bottles to jazz them up and make them fit in with your decor.
Balcony terrarium Looking for a gardening solution that adds a little more pizazz to the balcony? A balcony terrarium is great for urban gardeners with an eye for design and an interest in growing exotic plants. The beauty of this design is that because terrariums trap warm air inside, plants that would typically not be able to handle colder climates or adverse weather conditions are able to live longer.
Earthy rooftop relaxation zone
roots. This type of garden is easy to assemble and looks great. You can also make sure that your plants get as much sunlight as possible by hanging them in the direction of the sun.
Rustic garden wall Simplistic in its design and easy on the eyes, a rustic garden wall makes a great addition to any urban space that features exposed brick. A garden like this is relatively low maintenance
and can be used to grow vegetables as well as delicate flowers that will accent your hangout spot.
Staircase garden Small-space dwellers are familiar with having to come up with ingenious ways to save space and still get what they want. A staircase garden is a great example of taking that attitude to the next level as this clever planting system places greenery right under your feet.
For those who are not interested in tending to fruits and vegetables, but instead just crave the beauty of the outdoors, an earthy rooftop relaxation zone may be just right for you. Most condos nowadays have rooftop spaces that offer a great place to crack a beer and enjoy the sunset.
Wall-mounted herb garden No space? No problem! A wallmounted herb garden is the perfect urban garden solution for anyone living in tight quarters. Using mason jars as pots is an inexpensive way to start your own herb collection. With very little maintenance, set up or clean up needed, the wall-mounted herb garden is a sure-fire way for you to get your greens.

Calgarian Ryan Scott the New President of CHBA – Alberta THE CANADIAN HOME BUILDERS’ ASSOCIATION - ALBERTA has
announced that Ryan Scott is the 55th president of the Association and will serve an 18-month term. Scott is president and CEO of Calgary-based Avalon Master Builder and is recognized within the residential construction industry as one of the leading sources on sustainable building. His experience includes serving as chair and pastchair of the board of directors of the Alberta New Home Warranty Program. At a recent succession ceremony, Scott thanked outgoing president Tally Hutchinson for his work during his 18-month term. “Working with you, our board and our committees has shown me that the strength of CHBA - Alberta lies in its volunteer members. I have been impressed with the commitment of our membership to step up and put their time and energy into ensuring that we are working towards our vision of A Home for every Albertan,” Scott says. During Hutchinson’s term, the association faced many challenging issues, including introduction of a new Condominium Property Act, numerous building code changes, a review of the Municipal Government Act, City Charters, and a stronger government focus on climate change. In addition, CHBA - Alberta introduced new programs to increase worker safety and help members access funding through the Canada-Alberta Job Grant, as well as implementing a new strategic planning process and making changes to strengthen Association governance. 54 YPNEXTHOME.CA

“I am honoured to work with our boards, committees and staff to continue the work Tally has started and to deal with new challenges as they come up – and they will come up,” Scott says. Looking ahead, Scott says it will be important for CHBA - Alberta to be a strong advocate for members and their customers when a new Municipal Government Act is introduced during the current
session of the Alberta Legislature, as well as in consultations on regulations for the Condominium Property Act, and as new policies are introduced to fight climate change. 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. Local CHBA’s operate in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie and Medicine Hat.

NEW ADULT VILLA PROJECT.... Lang Built Homes is excited to announce we are nearing the completion of sales in our latest 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. We have four available park backing lots, two of which are walkouts, and two south backing lots still available. Our customers have recognized the value of this property and have already responded by securing 19 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.
