EDITOR’S NOTE

MAKING A MOVE SPRING MARKET SHOWS PROMISE

MARISA BARATTA EDITOR NextHome EMAIL: marisa.baratta@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @marisabaratta

The general consensus is that the real estate market is about to pick up as we head further into the warmer seasons and consumer confidence has started to soar. This is no surprise, given our discussion last issue about a recent poll by RBC Royal Bank demonstrating that prospective homebuyers in Alberta are the most confident in all of Canada.

If you’re one of those home seekers, you can get details on what to expect next in the real estate market on page 28, where we explore the latest House Price Survey by Royal LePage. You can also see how healthy Edmonton is, via a quick look at unit sales on page 42.

Spring typically brings homebuying to the forefront of prospective buyers’ minds. Did you know that many wouldbe purchasers are Millennials? A study commissioned

by Genworth Canada found that this group makes up a significant chunk of soon-to-be-homebuyers, while CIBC warns that many Millennials aren’t on track to afford a new home (page 48).

But don’t despair. We already know that “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” CIBC’s survey is a reminder that there’s plenty you can and should do to prepare for your homebuying journey, and this preparation can help make this experience a truly rewarding one. Kelley Keehn shares some tips on page 36 to help strategize so that you’re financially set to support the things that matter most to you.

A home is a big expense but if you prepare for it, it can become one of the most exciting moves you’ll ever make.

we are working towards our goal is by making our communities as inclusive as possible. We wanted to provide a playground that was handicap-accessible so all children could enjoy it, and we worked with our professional team to make that happen.”

Laurel Green is now the first community in south Edmonton to have a handicap-accessible playground.

The homes in Terrace Park offer a number of unique benefits that are special to the community.

“We wanted residents to have a home where both the front and back were equally architecturally appealing, so we upgraded every home to have both front and back verandas, larger windows to maximize the view of the open space and higher exterior 14 NextHome.ca

standards for finishing details,” notes Nguyen. Two outstanding homebuilders are showcasing first-rate home products in this community – Homes by Avi and Landmark Homes.

Each home offers a rear detached double garage and a full-size parking pad that provides combined space for four vehicles.

Classic architectural styles are showcased throughout the community, plus front and partial rear yard landscaping is included and all lots are fully fenced with maintenance-free vinyl fencing.

Another fantastic feature of the neighbourhood is the access to the homeowners’ association that will conveniently manage the front yard maintenance of the area year round.

exceptional amenities near this popular community. Find year-round activity options at the celebrated The Meadows Community Recreation Centre, which is just a 10-minute walk from Terrace Park.

DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

CARMEN WYTON

Communities seem to pop up out of nowhere all the time, but there is a lot of planning and work we often can’t see that goes into making a new and exciting community. Let’s break it down.

GET THAT LAND

Land developers purchase land but it’s up to the municipality to decide where and when new communities can be built, which means land can stand idle for years before it becomes a community.

And then come the initial studies and concept plans. These provide a very broad picture of what a development will look like for the region while taking natural features such as wetlands into consideration. Once these studies are complete, it’s time to plan!

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN

First up is the Area Structure Plan (ASP), which looks at the specifics of a new community and is reviewed (and hopefully approved!) by municipal council.

The plan includes details on: • Land use • Types of development • Recreational facilities and schools • Parks and open space • Essential services • Residential, retail and commercial space • Sequence of development 22 NextHome.ca | North West

Next up are either Outline Plans or Neighbourhood Area Structure Plans, which provide details on how the community will look and where the houses, parks and commercial areas will go.

Thought the planning was over?

Think again! The Tentative Plan dives even deeper – it breaks down the land into even smaller parcels, outlining the exact lots and where utilities such as telephone and cable lines will go.

And then we have the development agreement between the municipality and developer, which states what the developers will pay the municipality for in terms of the new infrastructure required to connect the new community with the rest of the municipality.

Once these planning stages are done, the digging can start.

SHOVELS HIT THE GROUND

Before homes start to go up, the essential infrastructure (or offsite improvements) need to be

in place. These include services such as roads, water, sewer, electrical, paving and sidewalks.

Once this is taken care of and the municipality approves, the developers can start releasing lots for sale and you can really imagine your future home.

As you can see, community development is a long, thoughtout process that is all worthwhile when you get into a new home and community you love.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

FIVE REASONS TO LOVE LIVING IN TRUMPETER Anthem United is well known for its thoughtful processes in developing new communities in Edmonton, Calgary, BC and California. Trumpeter

by Big Lake is a serene community on the northwest edge of Edmonton, surrounded by nature but still connected to all areas of the city with Anthony Henday, 184 Street and Yellowhead Trail just minutes away.

You’re downtown in 20 minutes, at the airport in 30 minutes and in St. Albert in 10 minutes. With nearly 235 species of birds on the nearby Big Lake, Anthem United has carefully considered all aspects of its masterplanned community of Trumpeter.

Recognizing the ecological sensitivities of the area, everything from the location of homes, walking paths, storm ponds and even lighting, has been thoughtfully worked into the surrounding natural area. If you don’t believe this, read what those who actually live there have to say.

Resident Teresa Marshall highly recommends Trumpeter. She describes her neighbourhood as being “down to earth and a great place for young families. What makes it outstanding is the mixture of young families, 26 NextHome.ca | North West

singles and retired couples. The people make the difference.”

Marshall says the trails are a great place to meet the neighbours who are running, walking their dogs or simply enjoying nature. The benefits of living in Trumpeter go beyond nature and good community with quick “access to amenities and just 20 minutes to the Clareview LRT.” Both Edmonton and St. Albert amenities are just a short drive away – whether you are looking for shopping, hospitals or recreation, everyone’s needs are met.

Another resident chose Trumpeter after looking for two years for the perfect place for their young family. They ideally wanted acreage living with city advantages and Trumpeter fit the bill perfectly.

They purchased a lot with a view of woods, pond and nature at her finest. She spoke about sitting on their deck watching the deer, birds and spectacular northern lights, something that the bright city lights wouldn’t have shown. They love that their children can climb trees, catch frogs and see wildlife in a community whose members genuinely care about each other, plus, no worries about busy streets. This resident says they “feel a real sense of connection with neighbours regardless of their age.” Further, they appreciate “how Anthem United adapted

1. Great for young families, great for all ages 2. Connectivity with neighbours 3. Easy access to amenities 4. Lots of greenspace and walking trails 5. Nature all around with trees, ponds and wildlife

the housing and landscaping with an awareness to the nature surrounding Trumpeter.”

Residents of Trumpeter can even watch its namesake bird, the Trumpeter Swan, stretch its wings

as flocks get ready for their long flight south. Why stretch your wings and move to Trumpeter?

For peace of mind, nature, accessibility, great neighbours and superb community planning.

TRENDING

SPRING MARKET SHOWS SIGNS OF CONSUMER CONFIDENCE The aggregate price of a home in Edmonton remained relatively flat in the first quarter of 2018, decreasing 0.6 per cent yearover-year to $377,986, according to a recent Royal LePage House Price Survey.

“Home prices have been relatively flat for a few months because of the winter weather, which is a typical early-year trend for Edmonton,” says Tom Shearer, broker and owner, Royal LePage Noralta Real Estate. “As the snow melts, we are starting to see more action in the housing market.

The market has been slower than usual for the past two years; however, we are starting to see a return of consumer confidence.

The region is anticipating a few big construction projects, so we should see a lot more movement in the local real estate market as a result of an improved economy.”

Nationally, Canada’s real estate market saw slowing year-overyear increases in the first three months of 2018. On a quarterover-quarter basis for the same period, home prices in many markets across the country remained relatively flat, with

approximately half of the markets studied by Royal LePage posting slight declines.

“We are experiencing a broad-based, residential housing correction in Canada, triggered by federal and provincial intervention,” says Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage.

“The combination of declining affordability and government intervention has for the most part neutralized very high home price appreciation levels in the Greater Vancouver and Toronto regions, relative to the extreme heights witnessed in recent periods. However, the demand for housing is so strong that the rate of home price appreciation is expected to pick up again in the second half of 2018.”

The Royal LePage National House Price Composite, compiled from proprietary property data in 63 of the nation’s largest real estate markets, showed the price of a home in Canada increased 6.2 per cent year-over-year to $605,512 in the first quarter of 2018. When broken out by housing type, the median price of a two-storey home rose 5.7

per cent year-over-year to $715,726, and the median price of a bungalow climbed 4.5 per cent to $501,985. Condominiums continued to witness the highest price appreciation rates among housing types studied, rising 10.3 per cent to $418,245.

“While we have recently seen both overshooting and corrections in Canada’s largest markets, on a national basis we believe the Canadian housing market is amidst a long-term expansionary cycle supported by strong economic fundamentals,” says Soper. “Canada’s stature is rising on a global scale. Our cities continue to be ranked among the most desired places to live in the world. Our economy is strong, our unemployment levels are the lowest they’ve been in four decades and we have one of the fastest-growing populations among advanced economies.

These factors combined are incredibly supportive of longterm housing demand and valuations.”

SWEET DREAMS

Studies show that a clean bedroom can help you sleep better and maintain a healthy lifestyle. After all, we spend a third of our life in bed. We asked Pam Helms, co-founder of the plant-derived household cleaner brand Mrs. Meyer’s, to give us the lowdown on how to clean our bedroom essentials for a sweeter night’s sleep

by S A RA D U C K

BLANKETS

QUILTS

SHEETS AND PILLOW CASES

MATTRESS PADS

Machine wash cotton blankets in warm water. Wash wool with laundry detergent on the gentle cycle in cold water. Spin blankets in the washer until all excess moisture is extracted.

Gently stretch blankets back to their original size (measure first if you’re not sure what that is) before air drying.

Since these are in close contact with your skin, wash them once a week – or more frequently if someone has been sick.

Wash cotton, cotton blends, flannel, synthetics or bamboo in hot water to kill bacteria; dry them on low. Remember to fold sheets right away so wrinkles won’t set in.

COMFORTERS

Place them in the dryer for just a few minutes to fluff up, and then hang heavy comforters, quilts and wool blankets on several clotheslines to balance out the weight so they won’t stretch. Clean your clotheslines with a damp rag before each use.

Put these in the washer on the gentle cycle, but make sure to use cold water and laundry detergent. If you have a homemade quilt, you don’t want to wash it too often or it’ll show its wear. If your quilt is an heirloom, have it professionally cleaned.

We love Mrs. Meyer’s 64-load laundry detergent in lavender scent. $16 mrsmeyers.com

Wash these once a month (unless they’re soiled, in which case wash them right away!) in hot water and air dry. Doctors may advise allergy and asthma sufferers to wash them more frequently.

RUGS

Wash small cotton or synthetic rugs and bath mats (even those with rubber or latex backings) in cold water on the gentle cycle.

Air dry.

CURTAINS

Cotton curtains can be washed in cold water. Air dry, then iron them when they’re slightly damp to get out those wrinkles before they set in.

“Springtime is the season of renewal and comes with more hours of sun, which is perfect to shine a light on some items in the home that might need a bit of a touch up and refresh before heading into summer play time – great to get that work out of the way and feel accomplished!” - Pam Tufted headboard, $200. Drum mirror, $80. Carved wood dresser, $500. homesense.ca MAY 18 - JUN 15, 2018 29

ADVICE | KEEHN ON MONEY

HOME EQUITY SHOULD YOU USE IT?

KELLEY KEEHN

Do you have a nest egg of equity built up in your home? Have you been tempted to access it because of cheap interest rates and the ease of dipping into that line of credit attached to your home?

If so, take note: The top regulator in Canada is urging you and all Canadians to avoid treating your home as an ATM. In June 2017, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada found that the number of households that have taken a home equity line of credit (HELOC) on top of their mortgage has increased almost 40 per cent since 2011. Lucie Tedesco, FCAC commissioner, was quoted as stating, “At a time when consumers are carrying record amounts of debt, the persistence of HELOC debt may add stress to the financial well-being of Canadian households.”

HOW DANGEROUS IS IT TO TAKE EQUITY OUT OF YOUR HOME FOR, SAY, CONSUMER DEBT?

Sheila Walkington, Vancouverbased, fee-only Certified Financial Planner with Money Coaches Canada, says it’s smart to roll consumer debt to a HELOC to reduce interest costs “but it is not smart if you continue to run up debt on the line of credit. Many people think they will never use all that credit the bank is offering, but for some, it’s way too tempting and all too easy to dip into it.”

36 NextHome.ca | West

WALKINGTON’S TOP TIPS:

• Know your numbers! Be clear on what income you have coming in and what expenses you expect. Living within your means takes a conscious effort and planning.

• Use a separate bank account (or several) to save for things such as property taxes, travel and gifts.

• Don’t bury your head in the sand and “hope for the best.”

Many folks are very optimistic about the future, and anticipate that their next bonus, raise or windfall will cover debt or unexpected expenses.

• Reach out for help. Sometimes an impartial third party such as a Certified Financial Planner can provide an outside perspective on how to gain control and

create a spending and savings plan that will work for you.

• Set priorities. Be clear on what is important to you and ensure you have money for these things. But also know that if it’s not a priority, maybe it is best to say “no” or “not yet” for some expenses.

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.

MILLENNIALS NOT SAVING FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP: CIBC

Canadians aged 18 to 37 who rent or live with family still dream of owning a home – but few are on track to make it a reality, according to a new poll from CIBC. While nearly half (46 per cent) of those who intend to buy plan to do so within the next five years, 76 per cent haven’t started to save or have accumulated less than a quarter of their down payment.

“Our survey reveals that few Millennials are taking the necessary steps to make the move to homeownership,” says Grant Rasmussen, senior vice-president, Mobile Advice, CIBC. “You can’t buy a home with intent and desire alone. It’s important to have a financial plan to make the most of your income and set yourself up with the right savings plan to achieve your goals now and in the years ahead.

“While most still dream of owning a home one day, higher house prices, the prospect of higher rates, and new qualifying rules are prompting some Millennials to pause and question whether being a homeowner is realistic or even desirable for them,” says Rasmussen.

“The key is to understand your total housing costs and start planning early so you can consider your rent versus buy options in the context of your overall financial plan and desired lifestyle.”

The poll findings show that while the top reason for owning a home is to provide “a place to set down roots and raise a family” (49 per cent), an almost equal number also feel that renting is a “waste of money” (46 per cent). Poll findings also suggest that renters 48 NextHome.ca | South West

are not taking advantage of the opportunity to save for their future.

As many as 60 per cent of Millennials believe renting is just as costly as homeownership.

However, the poll finds that Millennial homeowners spend as much as 50 per cent more per month on housing costs than their peers who rent, and more than half (51 per cent) of homeowners admit they didn’t quite understand the total costs of owning a house before making their purchase.

Despite the higher expenses, Millennial homeowners still manage to save more each month than renters or live-at-homers, on average $566 compared to $368 or $360, respectively.

Further, homeowners have amassed an average nest egg of slightly more than $60,600 – more than double that of their peers who rent or live at home.

“Deciding to buy a home is often the trigger for most people to get serious about their finances, cut spending and build the necessary

savings habits and behaviours to achieve that goal. But for Millennials who rent or still live with family, it’s easy to delay or put off savings and developing a financial plan,” says Rasmussen.

“Remember, the earlier you start, the more your money will grow.

Renting shouldn’t be a free pass to spend.”

Key questions for whether to rent or buy a home: Are you planning to live in this home for at least five years?

Do you have an adequate emergency fund to cover any unexpected costs?

Are you willing to do your own property maintenance and repairs?

Do you have enough saved to cover a down payment and closing costs? Are you clear about your total monthly costs beyond just your mortgage payments, including taxes, insurance, utilities and condo fees, if applicable?

Will you have additional savings and be able to contribute regularly to them if you purchase a home?

MORTGAGE COSTS IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITIES

Area in March. That would cost a buyer $2,909 per month.

EDMONTON

ALYSSA FURTADO

Depending on where you live, you might lament – or rejoice in – current home prices. We’ve taken a look at some of Canada’s major cities and crunched the numbers on what a typical mortgage would cost in each of those cities.

For all mortgage affordability calculations, we’ll assume 20 per cent down, amortized over 25 years, and with a five-year fixed rate at the best available rate – currently 3.09 per cent.

VANCOUVER

Vancouver is beautiful. The ocean, the mountains – it’s a nature lover’s paradise. The home prices, though, mean many buyers will have little money left over for anything but hiking.

The typical home price was $1.08 million in March. According to ratehub.ca’s mortgage payment calculator, the typical Vancouver home would cost $4,144 per month, amortized over 25 years at a current best mortgage rate of 3.09 per cent. Ouch.

Making our way to the heart of oil country, the benchmark home cost $333,500 last month in Edmonton. That would require a mortgage payment of $1,275 per month with a down payment of $66,700.

MONTREAL

Perhaps Canada’s worst-kept secret in terms of real estate prices, Montreal has a benchmark price of $338,200.

So, a home here would cost a mere $1,293, according to our mortgage calculator – that’s much less than it costs to rent something similar in Toronto or Vancouver.

TORONTO

The Big Smoke. Hog Town. TDot. Whatever you call it (I refuse to call it “the 6”), Toronto – or, as the locals pronounce it, Turonno – is home to some of the most out-of-reach home prices in the country.

The benchmark home sold for $760,800 (and we won’t get into the price for a detached home) in the Greater Toronto

Those wishing to purchase a home in Cowtown will have a much easier time, however. The benchmark home price was $430,400 in March.

That would make for a much more manageable mortgage payment of $1,645 per month, assuming a down payment of $86,080 (20 per cent).

There are three components to look for when purchasing authentic quality sheets:

1.

THE TYPE OF COTTON. Long staple cotton is considered to be the best in the world, due to the strength and softness of its long fibres.

Egyptian and American Pima are two of the world’s best cottons.

2.

WHERE THE FABRIC IS WOVEN. Italian mills are the world’s foremost experts thanks to their long history of weaving and superior technology. Sheets woven in Italy, or other parts of Europe such as Portugal and Switzerland, will typically be of a higher quality than parts of the world where weaving is a more recent industry and technology is not quite as advanced.

3.

THE THREAD COUNT. Look for a thread count higher than 200 (less than 200 is called muslin), but remember, thread count is a personal preference. It’s all about determining what feel you like best. Do you prefer your sheets to feel soft or crisp? Fine or heavy? It’s up to you! What matters most is that the sheet has the very best raw materials: Long staple Egyptian or Pima cotton, and a superior weave.

IN THE MARKET FOR NEW BEDSHEETS? JOANNA GOODMAN, OWNER OF AU LIT FINE LINENS, EXPLAINS IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE THREAD COUNT! WHO KNEW, RIGHT? CHECK OUT HER TOP TIPS BEFORE YOU HIT THE SHOPS

EXPERT TIP: Always look for 100-per-cent long staple cotton sheets. Labels can be misleading. While numerous brands claim to use “Egyptian cotton,” their linens may contain as little as one per cent. Make sure the packaging says 100 per cent Egyptian or Pima cotton. Also, where the product is made is not necessarily where the fabric is woven. If you find a very inexpensive sheet with a really high thread count, it’s probably not pure Egyptian cotton, or has an inferior weave from a country without a long history of weaving or state-of-the-art technology.

Perhaps due to my Australian descent, the birth of spring at my house means delicious, juicy barbecued lamb. Mother Nature is off to a sluggish start for outdoor grilling this year but this dish is just as lovely cooked inside. Lamb can be a polarizing meat choice for some, so I find these cumin- and garlic-infused kofta balls offer a milder tasting option for those who may be on the fence. It serves up nicely with a fresh side salad or grilled veggies, plus the lamb balls themselves are an easy make-ahead recipe.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 450 F INGREDIENTS • 1 lb ground lamb • 1/2 medium white onion • 2 garlic cloves • 1 tbsp cumin

• 2 to 3 in. of thinly sliced cucumber (don’t cut them too thin – you want a little crispiness in every bite) • 1 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS In a food processor, add onion and garlic and pulse until finely minced, then add lamb, cumin, salt-pepper and continue for a few seconds until combined.

Remove and roll into golf ball sized portions.

In a fry pan over medium heat, add a healthy splash

• 1 tsp cracked pepper • Crushed chili oil (to taste) • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt • 2 tbsp fresh torn mint

of olive oil, fry balls gently, turn and roll occasionally until golden. Remove and place on a parchment-lined baking tray and roast for 5 to 7 minutes.

Smear yogurt on your platter, add lamb balls and sliced cucumber, drizzle with crushed chili oil (or your favourite chili oil or sauce) and fresh mint.
