EDITOR’S NOTE

WHAT DO YOU DO? SPEND, SAVE OR INVEST? After four years of saving, scrimping, penny-pinching and coupon clipping, my partner and I bought our first home.

As the days to our closing date looms upon us, between the chaos of opening utility accounts and booking our Pre-Delivery Inspection appointment (known as the Pre-Occupany Inspection in Alberta) - we’ve had mortgage repayment on the brain and the whirlwind of thoughts to coincide with it: Do we take a page out of my grandfather’s handbook and aggressively pay down our mortgage? Do we focus on investing or on contributing to our RRSP’s?

My partner and I have different methods of saving.

Where I would keep my money in an accessible savings account, he would scrupulously invest, and reinvest his interest. His philosophy has always been, “make your money, make you money.”

Are you in a similar boat and need some guidance?

Check out page 38 to learn more about what your options are when it comes down to deciding whether you would prefer to pay down your mortgage loan or invest.

ADVICE | BILD ALBERTA REPORT

BEYOND THE MAIN FLOOR MAKING A BASEMENT WORK FOR YOU

CARMEN WYTON

As a kid, you probably feared your basement, waiting for the imaginary monster to grab your leg as you ran up the stairs.

Now, the monsters are gone and basements have evolved to become one of the cosiest spots in a home. The increasing popularity of basement suites has even led many people to call this versatile space home.

So, how can you make it suit your needs?

OH, THE POSSIBILITIES

In colder climates, most houses contain a standard basement as it is vital to the structure of the house to dig below the frost line; so why not use this necessary space in a better way?

A finished basement can be used as a TV room, workout area, guest bedroom, children’s playroom, suite for extra income and so on. The possibilities are endless.

The best way to decide is to determine how your basement can best serve your needs. After that, you can explore your creative side.

A basement is a great place to be a little more adventurous with design.

WALKOUT BASEMENT

If you’re building a new home on 12 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 2-30, 2018

a property with a slope, consider adding a walkout basement. There are a lot of benefits to adding this feature. Not only do walkout basements give you more usable space, they also brighten the entire floor and make moving into your new home easier with the additional entrance.

While standard basements are not included in the total square footage of a house, walkout basements are. This additional space can increase the appraisal value of your home. Your property taxes will increase, but overall, the pros of having a walkout basement make the price worth considering.

ENTERTAINING

Basements have evolved past the stereotypical uninspired hideaway into a great space to entertain.

Walkout basements in particular offer an exceptional area for guests: Extra space, lots of light, and an entrance to a backyard

or patio. Features such as bars, wine cellars and even full kitchens are being implemented into basements. Why bother going to a movie theatre when you can have your own home theatre in your basement?

No matter the type or size of basement you have, you can transform it into a useful and comfortable (monster free!) space where the whole family will want to spend time together.

Until next time, Carmen Carmen Wyton is CEO, Building Industry and Land Development Alberta Association (BILD Alberta), the unified voice for the land development, home building and renovation industry in Alberta. bildalberta.ca

LIVE YOUR DREAM IN THE VIEW

The overwhelming response to the recent launch of The View at Grandin City by Westrich Pacific Corporation, in one of the most coveted downtown communities in the city, surprised even the sales team.

In record time, more than 70 per cent of the suites, including all the one-bedroom condominiums, were reserved.

“People started lining up at 4 AM,” says Snow An, Westrich Pacific sales lead, adding interest came from first-time buyers as well as students, professionals and empty-nesters. “This is very exciting for us given the current market is soft. While there’s a multitude of projects to choose from, I believe our clients see the value of an absolutely amazing location, as well as the elevated quality of the finishes and building features at The View.”

The first in line was Margaret Martynowski. As soon as she saw the neighbourhood and the tower’s stunning architecture, she was sold. “Our son Aaron is a professional working for the city and he expressed to us his interest in The View. He loves the well-established neighbourhood and the fact

that he can walk to work,” says Martynowski. “We were so excited … this is a beautiful tower in a prime location, with a great connection to nature.”

The View is an eye-catching 23-storey concrete and glass tower featuring 178 elegant urban Uptown homes – a mix of a two townhomes and condos that take full advantage of the sweeping cityscapes and its magnificent park side setting.

Designed by the renowned firms of Chris Dikeakos Architects Inc. with lobby interiors designed CKDESIGN Associates Inc., the contemporary one, two, and three-bedroom homes, feature luxury finishes throughout. The homes are showcased by floor-to-ceiling windows and generously sized balconies, as well as woodgrain laminate flooring, nine-foot ceilings, Samsung appliance package, forced air heating and cooling.

In keeping with the sought-after address, this resort-style tower will include concierge service, a fully equipped fitness facility with child friendly kids’ room, though for many the park side setting will prove inviting for fitness and recreation activities.

With prices starting from $344,000 for a two-bedroom, these homes won’t last. Perched atop the North Saskatchewan River and due south of Jasper Ave, Grandin City is in the heart of the city and yet in a park. For more information, visit www.grandincity.com.

The Presentation Centre is open 10 to 6 PM weekdays, and 12 to 5 PM Saturdays. (Closed Sunday).

At The View at Grandin City, this is truly what a live/work/play lifestyle is all about.

HOUSING MARKETS TO WATCH IN 2019

Data released in the 2019 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report published Oct. 10 by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Canada and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) show Toronto and Vancouver continue to lead all Canadian cities in terms of real estate investment prospects. However, every real estate market has its own opportunities and challenges. We explore five of the markets to watch in 2019..

TORONTO

With net immigration into the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) hitting a 15-year high and pent-up demand for housing, Toronto edged out Vancouver as the top market to watch this year. According to the Conference Board of Canada (CBoC), the local construction sector is on track to record its 10th straight year of growth in 2019, with GDP growth forecast to reach 2.4 per cent in 2018 and 2.3 per cent in 2019.

Respondents also ranked Toronto’s housing prospects first among all markets. Efforts by Ottawa and Queen’s Park to cool the residential market, combined with rising interest rates and high consumer debt, could still put another brake 22 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 2-30, 2018

on prices. But strong drivers of demand remain indisputable. The region is also feeling the effects of demographic shifts. Millennials have begun to compete with Baby Boomers for real estate, and over the next decade, almost 700,000 first-time buyers will target the GTA or Hamilton markets, according to a May 2018 report sponsored by the Ontario Real Estate Association.

Due to little relief on the supply side, several interviewees expect Toronto land costs to hit Vancouver levels before long. “The next 12 months will be a buyer’s market, and then we’ll start to move back to a seller’s market and prices will ramp up to new highs,” says one interviewee. Townhouses were also considered a best bet, appealing to entry-level buyers. And although there’s rising concern about the sheer number of new condo projects, multi-family demand will remain strong.

VANCOUVER

Vancouver’s economy is forecast to grow 2.3 per cent in 2019 after seeing 2.9 per cent growth in 2018. Overall, the region’s real estate fundamentals look good, and even after years of price increases, …continued on page 24

interviewees say, “Vancouver continues to defy gravity” in terms of commercial investment prospects.

But the market may yet come back to earth, with interviewees noting they’re being more cautious and selective when looking at new opportunities to invest or develop.

Single-family sales are cooling in the face of high prices, rising interest rates, tougher mortgage rules and a series of cooling measures being implemented by the BC government. These include an increase in the foreign-buyers’ tax to 20 per cent, an empty homes tax equal to one per cent of a vacant property’s assessed taxable value and an increase in property tax rates for homes assessed above $3 million. Sales of condos and townhomes have slowed, and the market is treating them with more caution.

OTTAWA

As its economy diversifies, Ottawa is contemplating a bigger future. Local survey respondents viewed their market positively, third only to Toronto and Vancouver. With a new light-rail transit system and a focus on intensification, construction can be found in every corner of the city. What’s more, the proposed 21-hectare LeBreton Flats redevelopment, which includes a new arena for the Ottawa Senators, has the potential to transform the city’s downtown. “The city is setting the stage,” says one interviewee. “Someone needs to just pick up the ball.” The abundance of opportunities has led to some new entrants into the Ottawa market, but pricing and availability mean developers need to be diligent and focus on where they can add value.

Ottawa is experiencing growth and stability, aided in part by an expanding civil service and a thriving tech sector. Interviewees expect the job market will continue to flourish, and this, coupled with new investor interest and a growing flow of buyers relocating from expensive urban centres, will drive demand for housing. This is driving sales in infill communities in the city’s core and in the suburbs.

Faced with a large inventory of condo units, many developers have switched to rentals, with many units coming online in the next 24 months, almost doubling the supply in some areas.

EDMONTON

According to the CBoC, the city’s economy was poised to grow 2.8 per cent in 2018 and is forecast to expand 2.2 per cent in 2019. Revitalization of the city’s downtown core continues with construction of the MacEwan Centre for the Arts, construction of Edmonton’s ICE District and work on the new Valley Line LRT. 24 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 2-30, 2018

High inventories of new homes will cause starts in both the single-detached and multiple-unit markets to fall, with activity expected to rebound slightly in 2019, according to the CBoC. Over the last five years, home prices have risen by less than the national average – and interviewees said this discrepancy bodes well for future sales. The market consistency is good for sellers and presents an opportunity for Millennials who have been delaying entering the housing market.

Edmonton’s downtown condo market is getting a lift from Baby Boomers who are downsizing and moving into the city core. But the apartment rental market is experiencing high turnover as low interest rates entice some potential tenants to enter the housing market.

CALGARY

The CBoC expects Calgary’s economy to grow 2.3 per cent in 2019 after hitting 2.9 per cent GDP growth in 2018. Now that the city is seeing increased confidence as the oil and gas markets start its recovery, the wheels are in motion in the real estate market.

Even with increased interest rates and new mortgage rules, first-time and move-up homebuyers are leading the residential charge in multi-family residences and luxury homes, respectively. Meanwhile, Millennials and younger couples are balancing the condo market. For example, the East Village is a new city-supported community development, with condo and rental accommodations alongside retail and other cultural amenities. But Calgary’s housing market remains broadly oversupplied.

WOODBEND LEDUC’S NEWEST RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT The recent Grand Opening of Woodbend, one of Leduc’s newest residential developments, was a resounding success with more than 250 attendees.

Nestled amongst 160 acres, with a creek, two stormwater ponds, walking trails, and parks, including a children’s play park, this is arguably one of Leduc’s most exciting new neighbourhoods.

The mayor, as well as several local dignitaries, were on hand for a ribbon cutting ceremony. However, one of the highlights of the day was a rescued Horned owl, who arguably stole the show.

During the festivities, Woodbend backpacks and stress pucks were handed out. To the delight of the children, there was also face painting, a bouncy castle and two food trucks, Smokehouse BBQ and Jackie O’s.

Some lucky winner went home with the grand prize of a one-year family membership to the Leduc Recreation

Centre, while three other winners walked away with a $100 Leduc Premium Outlet Mall gift certificate.

Woodbend is a partnership between Carrington Land and Avillia Developments, with homes offered by award winning home builders: Alquinn Homes, Bedrock Homes and Coventry Homes. Once completed it will comprise of 500 single family homes, some of which will boast water front views.

ADVICE | KEEHN ON MONEY

PAY DOWN YOUR MORTGAGE OR INVEST THE MONEY?

KELLEY KEEHN

Like many personal finance matters, the decision to pay down your mortgage versus investing is a very individual choice. If you run the numbers, a lot of the time it would seem you’d be better off investing rather than paying down your mortgage.

But according to Sean Cooper, a mortgage broker and the bestselling author of Burn Your Mortgage, that’s only part of the story. “One thing that investing doesn’t provide is peace of mind,” says Cooper. “When you pay down your mortgage, you get a guaranteed rate of return (your mortgage rate). But when you invest, in many cases you don’t know what your rate of return will be.”

Jason Heath, a fee-only certified financial planner and a managing director with Objective Financial Partners Inc. points to a couple of other factors you need to think about when making this kind of decision. One consideration he says is whether you have an employer matching your contribution on your investment account – like a group RRSP or a defined contribution pension plan that your employer also pays into to when you do.

“That company match is free money and can make investing a good choice compared to debt repayment,” he said.

38 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 2-30, 2018

Another issue Heath wants you to be aware of is the time frame.

“Over the long run, some of the factors that may make investing better than debt repayment may be a high-risk tolerance, low fees, and a high tax bracket.

People with a low-risk tolerance, high investment fees, or a low tax bracket may be that much better served to focus on debt repayment,” he said.

Heath says this subject doesn’t have to be an all or nothing decision. “A popular strategy is to contribute to your RRSP and make a lump sum payment on your mortgage with your tax refund.

This gives you the best of both worlds,” he suggests.

That being said, he cautions: “You probably don’t want to put every single penny towards your mortgage. If you were to run into a financial emergency – you lost your job or became disabled – it’s

important to have emergency savings. That’s when your TFSA can come in handy. It can be a great place to park your savings for a rainy day.”

If you’re still unsure, consider seeking out the advice of a Certified Financial Planner and an independent mortgage broker who can help you crunch the numbers and determine which scenario is right for you.

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.

Beautiful, feminine, sexy PINK! Colour excites and inspires me. Be bold in your colour choice for the new year – if you love colour, go for it. There’s only one design rule to follow – make a commitment to your colour and thoughtfully repeat it. Make your home and your new year memorable; incorporate pink in your design scheme!

1

1 | Area rugs Yes, this is an area rug – superimposed black and white photograph of a face superimposed over a tone on tone medallion pattern. This is the coolest rug I’ve seen in a very long time– if you want it, I can get it!

2

2 | Just a bit Beautiful artwork that makes the grade for me, just a hint of your accent colour – pulls an entire room together.

3 | Pink club This soft, textural panelling is perfect for a night club or even a theatre room. Use your imagination. How can you add depth with colour and texture?

4 | Perfect harmony This interior space is so well designed using hints of saturated pink, I think any guy would be more than happy to live here, its a very cool space!

A. The bedroom, subdue all the pink and water it right down so you can drift off to sleep, sublime!

B. View to the deck. Perfectly casual with the balance of rustic texture and a hard hit of intense pink. Love the copper tin roof showing through with the sparkly chandelier. The thoughtful placement of key items causes important tension between feminine and masculine.

C. Looking toward the front door of the loft, we see a hit of the magenta sofa, and the SMEG pink fridge is to die for! Perfect balance of masculine/feminine.

5 | Lavishly delicious Skys the limit? Fabulous! This dining room retails for $158,000.

MOST CANADIANS AWARE OF NEW MORTGAGE QUALIFICATION RULES The majority of Canadian homebuyers are comfortable renewing their mortgages and are familiar with the new mortgage qualification rules, according to a report released Oct. 18 by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

(CMHC) in its annual Mortgage Consumer Survey (MCS). CMHC conducted an online survey of 4,000 prime household decision makers who had undertaken a mortgage transaction in the past 12 months.

“Shopping for a mortgage can be overwhelming, so the more information you have, the better your experience,” says Carla Staresina, vice-president, Client Relationship Management CMHC. “We’ve expanded our survey to give us greater detail on what Canadians want when looking for a mortgage and how they go about the process. We also now have more insight into important groups like millennials and firsttime buyers.”

Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed had renewed their mortgage, 15 per cent had refinanced and 16 per cent had purchased a home with mortgage financing (nine per cent first-time buyers and seven per cent repeat buyers).

Almost half agreed they would feel comfortable using more technology to arrange their next mortgage transaction.

Nonetheless, the majority said it is important to meet face-to-face with their mortgage professional 50 NextHome+CondoGuide | Nov. 2-30, 2018

when negotiating and finalizing a mortgage. Overall, most homebuyers obtained a mortgage loan only, a fixed interest rate, a five-year renewal term and 25year amortization period.

Fifty-two per cent of homebuyers were aware of the latest mortgage qualification rules.

About one-in-five first-time buyers indicated that the rules impacted their purchase decision, with most opting to decrease nonessential expenses, purchase a less expensive home or use savings to increase their down payment.

While homebuyers are generally satisfied with the advice they receive from their mortgage professional, they said they would like more information on interest rates, types of mortgages available to them, current and long-term mortgage strategies, mortgage or house purchase fees as well as tools to manage their mortgage.

When compared to other factors such as type of neighbourhood, proximity to work and overall condition of the home, affordability topped the list with more than 50 per cent of buyers worrying about paying too much for their home. Nearly one-third said they worry about rising interest rates and mortgage qualification and 37 per cent felt concern or uncertainty when buying a home. Eighty-five per cent of first-time buyers spent the most they could afford on their home purchase and 76 per cent said they are confident they will be able to meet their future mortgage payment obligations.

More than 22 per cent of firsttime buyers were newcomers to Canada and almost 50 per cent of first-time buyers were Millennials (ages of 25 and 34) down from 60 per cent in 2017.
