For all the challenges the Alberta economy is facing in the wake of the oil slump, real estate markets in Edmonton and Calgary are outshining their prairie neighbours Regina and Saskatchewan. According to the latest Royal LePage House Price Survey, home prices in Canada showed moderate to strong year-over-year increases in most markets in the third quarter.
The Edmonton housing market continued to weather the energy downturn, showing healthy yearover-year price increases across all housing types surveyed. During the third quarter of 2015, the median price for a two-storey home increased 5.6 per cent year-over-year to $465,247, condominiums increased 4.1 per cent to $244,534, and bungalows 1.9 per cent to $370,989.

Advice | CHBA ALBERTA
Edmonton weathering THE STORM By Jim Rivait WINTER HAS RETURNED to Edmonton, and just as each and every snowflake we’ll see in the next few months is unique, no two housing markets are identical. That’s sometimes hard to see when a blizzard of housing market news lumps together a lot of individual cities into a “national” market that seems to involve only Toronto and Vancouver. Even when the media focuses on covering Alberta housing news, it often starts and stops with Calgary. So, here is what’s happening in Edmonton, in case you’re considering a home purchase or just trying to understand our unique local market. On the construction side, we have the stats for the first 10 months of 2015. Edmonton started the year with a lot of momentum behind the multi-family sector and that has pushed housing starts way up – almost 30 per cent – to more than 14,600 homes. Construction of single-family homes has slipped about 11 per cent this year. To put that in context, it’s important to realize that last year saw the most single-family homes built since 2007. So we’re down a little when compared to a very strong year. So far this year, builders in metro Edmonton started work on more than 5,000 homes. Even in October, almost 18 months after oil prices started to fall, foundations were poured for more than 500 new homes. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. now forecasts we’ll finish the year with about 5,900 new single-family homes – almost exactly the same number as 2013 when the Alberta economy was roaring along in high gear. Next year, CMHC expects the number of single-family homes built will slip five per cent to 5,600 – a drop of just 300 homes from 2015 totals. When Canada’s national housing agency looks ahead to 2017, it expects the totals to edge up to almost the same level as this year. To sum all this up: 2014 was an unusually busy year for single-family home construction, and now we’re back to more typical levels. Plus, our economy is getting a very positive jolt this from a near-record year in construction of multi-family homes. For Alberta, the numbers are also less dramatic than you might think – down seven per cent through October.

Todd Hirsch, chief economist for ATB Financial, explained in a recent commentary why new home construction has not dropped sharply along with oil prices. “The fact that housing starts have pulled back only moderately this year reflects the fact that the market was in a healthy balance before oil prices started to drop,” Hirsch said. “Prior to previous recessions – such as 2008 and 2009 – home builders had put far too many new homes onto the market. When the downturn hit, there was a surplus of unsold homes on the market, so construction pulled back more severely.” Stability in the housing market may not make for many attention-grabbing headlines, but it should reassure homeowners and buyers about the resilience of Edmonton’s strong – and unique – economy. The Canadian Home Builders’ Association - Alberta represents more than 1,500 business members, including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies and professional services.

River’s Edge Villas
E
xclusivity is the secret to what makes the River’s Edge Villas at Cameron Heights by Christenson Developments so special.
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Southwest Edmonton, just off Anthony Henday Drive, Cameron Heights is a 40-home development that offers buyers the opportunity to live in luxury, yet be surrounded by nature. Of those 40 homes, 17 are walkouts, looking over a beautifully maintained pond. And every one of the 40 homes looks out onto pristine parkland and Wedgewood Ravine vistas. “The Cameron 32 YPNEXTHOME.CA
Heights community is very well-situated, very special, very exclusive and very quiet,” says Karey Lear, a lifestyle consultant with Christenson Developments. “The location is just spectacular. The community is surrounded by walkways and parkland. No other houses back onto this project.” Each home comes with luxurious finishing features: hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters, and tiled bathrooms. Each master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and each home’s great room has a gas fireplace.

Depending on the model and location, prices range from $539,900 to $609,900. The price includes GST, basement development and a three-hour consultation with an interior designer. The River’s Edge Villas’ condo fee will take care of snow, lawn, building maintenance and insurance for each home as well as the property management fee and contribution to the Reserve Fund. There are plenty of amenities close at hand, too. Within a seven-minute drive, you’ll find the Currents of Windermere Shopping Centre, which offers a full array of shopping, including banking, grocery stores, restaurants, wine and coffee shops.
HardiePlank and stone exteriors with exposed aggregate driveways complement the surrounding community. “The great rooms have beautiful vaulted ceilings, which makes them feel very grand and spacious,” Lear says. “And there is a wall of windows in each great room, which lets in a ton of light, as well as a transom window over the garden door. It is just spectacular.” Three sizes are available: 1,270 square feet, 1,300 square feet or 1,380 square feet with development basement areas that include a full bathroom and bedroom as well as a large family room. There is some unfinished area available in each basement for storage and workrooms, Lear notes.
The first homeowners will be moving in this fall. A testament to the development’s charm and beauty is that more than 50 per cent of the River’s Edge Villas homes are already sold! Three show homes are available to view at River’s Edge Villas, a Christenson Developments community located in Cameron Heights, 3090 Cameron Heights Way Show Homes open Monday – Thursday 1-6 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and holidays 1-5 p.m. DEC 4, 2015 - JAN 1, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 33

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-

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

SUMMERSIDE IS a new neighbourhood at Ellerslie Road between 66th street and Parsons Road, notable for the 28-ft.-deep, 32-acre Summerside Lake, designed for swimming, fishing and nonmotorized boating that is exclusive to members of the Summerside Residence Association. Lifestyle Residents enjoy the laid back feeling of life on the lake. Paddle boat, kayak and canoe rentals are available, should you feel like getting out of your lounge chair. Kids will enjoy the lakeside playground, sandy beach and surrounding lawns. In the winter, the lake is converted to a skating rink and winter programming is offered by the residents association. Vibe Rows of cottage-like homes line up behind green boulevards. The wide sidewalks are busy with young parents pushing baby strollers and tikes learning to ride without training wheels, likely on their way to Lake
Summerside for a day of fun at the beach. A to-do list of errands is easily tackled with commercial services close by. Meet the neighbours Summerside is a family neighbourhood. Although there are young professionals, empty nesters and seniors residing here, it is obvious young parents have chosen this safe and friendly neighbourhood to raise their children. In the area The cost of rent seems to vary depending on the unit’s distance from the beach. Rent is not necessarily cheap, but reasonable. Many of the restaurants, cafes and retailers in Summerside are franchises. The price of services, a meal or a pint of beer will be the same here as it is anywhere else. Planes, trains & automobiles The development of Summerside began before Edmonton experienced its massive economic boom and

some residents got in early. Bus routes come through Summerside and nearby neighbourhoods are easily accessible, but Summerside is largely a car-dependent neighbourhood. Access to major freeways makes getting around the rest of the city easy enough, but expect a longer commute to downtown or anywhere north of the river.
Real estate Although the newer homes are still priced comparably to nearby neighbourhoods, starter homes are no longer as affordable as they used to be. First-time homebuyers are renting out suites in their homes and this benefits the renters market.

Alberta and Edmonton economies and housing markets to improve next year AFTER A CHALLENGING 2015, the Alberta and Edmonton
economies – and housing markets – can look forward to better times next year and 2017. “Lower oil prices have had an impact on Alberta’s economy this year affecting capital investment, energy exports and consumer spending, and in turn, the province’s housing starts,” says Lai Sing Louie, CMHC’s regional economist for the Prairie and Territories region. “New construction declined by about 20 per cent in 2015. However, oil prices are forecasted to rise next year and in 2017 as US crude oil production declines. This will help Alberta’s economy return to growth in 2016 and 2017.”

In Edmonton, strength in the multi-family sector will push total housing starts to 16,400 units in 2015. However, this strength will dissipate in the closing months of 2015 and throughout 2016 as slower economic growth and reduced net migration lead to softer housing demand. “Multi-family starts began 2015 at a record setting pace, supported by a tight rental market and relatively low inventory on the ownership market,” says Christina Butchart, CMHC’s principal market analyst for Edmonton. “Weaker economic conditions and a well-supplied resale home market will continue to weigh down the new single-detached housing market in Edmonton in 2015 and 2016, but we should begin to see some modest growth in 2017.” “In Calgary, the impact of lower oil prices on the labour market has weakened employment growth and has also slowed migration, and increased uncertainty among prospective homebuyers,” says Richard Cho, principal market analyst for Calgary. “Total housing starts in 2016 are forecast to decline an additional 16 per cent from 2015, but increase slightly in 2017,” says Cho.

6 financial homebuying tips By Wayne Karl
PLANNING TO BUY A HOME and not sure where to begin?
Maybe it’s your first home, or it’s been a while and you’re ready to move up to a larger property. Here are six homebuying tips to help you prepare.
1.
GET WITH THE PROGRAMS There are various government programs available to help you buy a home. Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP): The HBP allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSP to put toward a down payment on a home. You have up to 15 years to repay the funds. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to modernize the program to allow Canadians to dip into their RRSPs to buy a home more than once, including when impacted by life changes such as job relocation, death of a spouse or marital breakdown. First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC): Eligible first-time buyers can apply for the FTHB to help offset the costs associated with purchasing a home, such as legal fees, disbursements and land transfer taxes. The credit can provide up to $750 in federal tax relief. More information on these programs is available at cra.gc.ca
48 YPNEXTHOME.CA
2.
SAVE YOUR A-- OFF First-time buyers require a minimum five per cent of the purchase price as a down payment. Using the 2014 figure for the average house price in Canada, $451,000, that would amount to $22,500. To put down 20 per cent and thus avoid high-ratio mortgage insurance, you’d have to save $90,200. Ouch. Oh, it gets better – er, worse. In Toronto, 20 per cent of the average price would be $130,000; in Vancouver, $181,000.

3.
PLEAD WITH THE BANK OF MOM AND DAD If your parents are baby boomers who have had the good fortune of building equity over the years as they paid down their mortgage while the value of their property multiplied, well… they may be in a position to help. And more buyers are hitting up the bank of mom and dad. In the last two years, 28 per cent of first-time buyers called on the bank of mom and dad to help finance their purchase; from 2010 to 2014, only 17 per cent did.
4.
BECOME TECH SAVVY Mortgage consumers are becoming very tech savvy. In Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s 2015 Mortgage Consumer Survey, 78 per cent of respondents researched online, with 70 per cent using an mortgage calculator to help determine their payments. And social media is playing a more important role – 20 per cent used sites such as Facebook to learn more, 17 per cent used a mobile device – and of those, 22 per cent used a mortgage related app. All of these figures are growing.

5.
BEFRIEND A BROKER OR BANKER Like many things in life, it’s all about relationships. And whether you use broker or a banker to secure a mortgage, you’ll likely come to value the relationship. In the same CMHC survey, consumer loyalty strengthened the longer people stayed with their lender. But since we’re talking about money, people are willing to switch lenders to get a better rate and save – a fact which is much more prevalent for bankers than brokers. And because brokers are able to offer products from multiple lenders, as opposed to bankers which offer only the products of their own institution, the market share held by brokers is growing notably, particularly among repeat buyers.
6.
RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH These days, with prices rising as they are and uncertainty in some markets, thorough research is an absolute must. Everything from your target area, desired housing type, builder or realtor, finances, how much you can afford, who you borrow from and the structure of your mortgage – take your time. Take months. Don’t rush anything. Anything.
