Editor’s Note

Tax time, embrace it year-round

WAYNE KARL Senior Editor Yellow Pages NextHome Email: Wayne.Karl@ypnexthome.ca Twitter: @WayneKarl

IT’S ALMOST MID FEBRUARY, normally a period we associate with blahs. But maybe there’s reason to celebrate this time of year. After all, it’s the shortest month of the year, and March and spring soon follow.

And while the deadline for 2016 Registered Retirement Savings Plan contributions isn’t until March 1, and April 30 for filing your 2016 income tax return, perhaps we need to start thinking of February in a different light altogether.

Indeed, heeding the advice of experts, perhaps “tax time” should be a year-round task. From making regular RRSP contributions, to comparing RRSPs and tax-free savings accounts, to learning of the various credits available, tax planning for some is as necessary as the inevitable taxes themselves.

Preparing as best you can throughout the year might help minimize the sting come deadline time – and help you learn to embrace the opportunities to save, not just fear what you have to pay.

Romancing Your Space:

By C. Marie Hebson

alentines Day is always a great time to show your romantic side.

When I posed the question to my husband “how would you romance a space for me, he stated “I’d walk into the room… chuckle, chuckle”. So, with that – I guess ladies, it’s up to us to romance your space for valentines day. Here are a few ideas : We’re going to step outside the norm of pink or red for valentines, and look at the colour purple. Purple is the colour of royalty, wealth, wisdom and spirituality. I love this colour, whether you inject gorgeous lavender hues in your home through paint, or through simple accessories – it is sure to balance out the masculine / feminine in any room.

14 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Fresh flowers; whether a single flower, or a large grouping, flowers are a must for romance. Add fresh flowers to your bathroom, whether floating in a bath half-full of water, or a simple arrangement on the vanity, don’t forget petals on the bed…perfect!

Candles: important to create that romantic mood, on the dinner table, next to your flowers, votives along the bath tub, pillar groupings, there is nothing like candle light for romance.

Clean; especially bathrooms and bedrooms, there is nothing worse than a dirty bathroom when your trying to “set the mood”.

Lighting; layering your light is the best way to change your room from dull to romantic - instantly. Along with candles, add wall sconces, wall washers, dimmer bulbs on the table lamps, votives, so important in creating a mood.

Table Setting; break out the good china, splash out on dinner cards and napkins too Scents; According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, director of the Smell and Taste Research Foundation, your first impression is based on smell. Oil diffusers, sprays, potpourri, and candles. Candles are the best because they slowly emit the scent. These are the

top scents for romance: Lavender, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang, Oranges (neroli) and Jasmine.

Hand-made; make a valentines day card, cook dinner, bake cookies…it’s the smallest things that always say “I love you.”

Enjoy your valentines day by injecting your personality into your space. You don’t have to go out and buy everything new – be creative. Make your guests feel pampered and special, pay attention to the details, and share your love – Happy Valentines Day. Photos compiled are from websites that Marie shops at, various items chosen are befitting the mood and depict best choices for this article.

EXPLORE STUNNING STREETSCAPE HOMES IN LANGDALE

S

outhwest Edmonton’s Langdale in Windermere welcomes you to discover their exclusive Streetscape homes! The exciting master planned community has been designed with refined beauty in mind, and brings a unique new home style to the Edmonton market. Situated just off Anthony Henday Drive and Ellerslie Road, Langdale in Windermere is ideally located and ensures residents have easy access to some of our city’s most efficient roadways. Filled with character and incomparable curb appeal, this outstanding Qualico community is a must-see destination!

The defining feature of Langdale in Windermere is its Streetscape home product. What you’ll find in typical attached-garage homes is that much of its front facing portion is focused on the garage rather than the actual home. Streetscape homes bring a welcomed change to that traditional design. In Langdale, you’ll find neighbourhood streets that are filled with sophisticated home fronts that showcase a home’s entrance instead of the garage. With a stylish selection of wide, stonewrapped front porches, these homes encourage the sense of community and neighbourhood interaction.

Each home is crafted to feature prominent entryways and refined exterior finishes that substantially increase the community’s street view aesthetic compared to others. What makes Streetscape homes even more

incredible is that they can be owned on the same budget as a typical single family home!

The interior of these homes also benefit from the wider design by providing floor plans that are a step away from what is currently on the market. A recessed garage in each home creates the opportunity for homeowners to include additional flex rooms, large foyers, striking open-to-below designs, and desirable mudroom spaces. These homes all feature first-rate finishes that boast exceptional quality; ultimately, providing an interior that reflects the beautiful exterior of the Streetscape style.

Pacesetter Homes and Sterling Homes are proud to present this new product to our city’s home market.

Both bring outstanding quality and craftsmanship to the community, and have a combined six Streetscape show homes ready for viewing.

These show stopping homes range from 1,743 square feet to an expansive 2,650 square feet! New

homebuyers will find an assortment of home plans available, which range from the standard options, to the more customized, giving buyers the opportunity to own a home that is personalized with the features they value most.

Additionally, the expertly developed community brings a high supply of excellent amenities for residents to enjoy. Beautiful pathways, charming ponds, scenic parks, a playground and an urban forest provide Langdale homeowners with a wide variety of outdoor features. A vast selection of fantastic service and retail options are situated just minutes away at the Currents at Windermere. Both South Edmonton Common and Southgate Centre are also nearby. The outstanding Terwilliger Rec Centre, plus golf courses and ski hills can all be found near the community.

There are plenty of home size and style options within Langdale to suit an array of lifestyle needs. Take advantage of a limited time offer where you can save up to $20,000 on your lot! Quantities are limited and some restrictions apply – visit any Langdale in Windermere showhome today for more information. Plus, until March 30th, 2017, you can enter for a chance to win $10,000 by visiting the Streetscape showhomes!

Show homes are open Monday to Thursday 3pm-8pm, and Saturday, Sunday and Holidays from noon to 5pm. Located on 9th Avenue SW in Langdale are the stunning showhomes from Sterling Homes – the Watson, Wellington, and Westin. Across the street you’ll find Pacesetter’s gorgeous Adelyn, Oscar, and Quinn models on display. Interested in learning more about Streetscape homes? Explore all the details at GoStreetscape.com.

Advice | CHBA ALBERTA

Low interest rates a bonus for homebuyers

By Donna Moore

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

LOW INTEREST RATES continue to provide a big incentive to Edmonton home buyers.

Major financial institutions are offering five-year mortgages with fixed rates at less than three per cent.

Variable rates are even lower. That looks like a bargain compared to times when rates on the same term topped 15 per cent.

Despite regular rumblings in the media through 2016 about how higher interest rates could be just around the corner, the Bank of Canada never budged. Most analysts don’t see major changes coming in 2017 and rates will remains low compared to historic standards.

This gives homebuyers an enormous opportunity to pay down debt and build their own net worth at a pace that would make previous generations envious.

Mortgage rates are an especially important consideration for first-time homebuyers because debt levels are at their highest levels immediately after the purchase.

Locking in low rates also takes a lot of the guesswork out of a budget because a major portion of the monthly expenses is set for a significant time period.

Low interest rates are one factor helping to sustain Edmonton’s resilient housing market even with lower oil prices.

Construction of single-family 26 YPNEXTHOME.CA

homes has dipped from last year’s levels, but Metro Edmonton still saw work start on more than 4,300 new single-family homes in 2016.

Each of those homes represents an investment decision by an Edmonton family that looked at their own financial prospects and opportunities in today’s less heated housing market.

The advantages of new homes have also never been clearer. Carbon taxes that took effect on Jan. 1 will raise energy costs for all energy consumers – and that includes higher costs for homeowners.

Each generation of homes is more energy efficient thanks to building codes that continually raise standards. Besides lowering greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change, the energy efficiency of new homes will pay off for years to come through lower bills for natural gas and electricity.

To learn more about the advantages of new homes, check out the consumer resources on the CHBA Edmonton Region website. It’s also where you can find CHBA members with the experience and expertise to guide you through your purchase.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents more than 1,600 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

3 reasons Americans won’t be gobbling up Canadian homes

By Wayne Karl

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

NOW THAT DONALD TRUMP has been sworn in as president of the United States, should we prepare for an onslaught of Americans moving to Canada and buying up our homes?

Don’t bank on it.

The “possibility” was well publicized leading up to the election last November, with search terms such as “How to move to Canada” and “How to become a Canadian citizen” skyrocketing on Google.

Now Royal LePage Canada and others are fanning the flames even more. On the morning of the Jan. 20 inauguration, the realty firm issued a press release titled U.S. Interest in Canadian Real Estate Surges Following U.S. Presidential Election.

“American web traffic on royallepage.ca, has been highly correlated to recent U.S. political events. U.S.-originated sessions surged 329 per cent the day following the election and climbed 210.1 per cent year-over-year the week after Donald Trump’s victory,” the release said.

We can’t blame Royal LePage for publicizing the web search trend. It’s the company’s job, after all, to sell homes.

But it’s a bit of a stretch that Canadians should batten down the hatches and prepare for an onslaught of Americans offering wheelbarrows full of U.S. greenbacks for their Canadian homes.

Here’s why: 34 YPNEXTHOME.CA

IMMIGRATION LAWS “We have express entry, and each province has numerous programs,” Robin Seligman, a specialist in Canadian immigration law, told New Home Guide. “As well, we have options for work permits if the person has an employer in Canada, or under NAFTA if they are on the professional list.

filing requirements, eligibility for deductions and credits.

“Owning a home for personal use, versus investing in a rental property, from a tax perspective, is easier to deal with. There are still issues such as changes to the principal residence exemption rules that came about last fall.”

“We also have the labour market impact stream, so employers in many cases must first try to hire a Canadian or permanent resident for the job,” she says. “However, there are many exemptions, including intra-company transfers and NAFTA exemptions.”

MORTGAGE REGULATIONS “Foreign buyers – including Americans – will have a more difficult time qualifying for a mortgage than Canadians,” says James Laird, cofounder of RateHub and president of CanWise brokerage. “The down payment requirement is higher, and there are additional challenges around proving income.”

TAX ISSUES “For U.S., citizens, they will need to deal with various U.S. tax issues as a result of their U.S. citizenship,” says George Dube, a partner at BDO Canada LLP, Waterloo, Ont. “And, they will need to abide by different tax regulations while considered a non-resident of Canada versus as a resident, such as withholding taxes,

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

6 ways to reduce your mortgage costs

By Alyssa Furtado

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

THE NEW YEAR is a good time for a

financial health check. And since for most homeowners’ financial wellbeing is directly linked to the cost of your mortgage, re-evaluating your mortgage is key.

Before getting a mortgage, look at how much of your income goes towards your payments. When you review these costs, you should consider options that can lower your payments and reduce the amount of interest you have to pay.

Here are three ways to access lower interest rates: 1. Get and keep a high credit score Maintaining a higher credit score makes you a more attractive debtor.

This will enable you to negotiate a lower interest rate. Most financial institutions consider credit scores in the 800 to 900 range to be favourable. A long history of good credit will give you access to lower rates. Get your free credit score before meeting with an advisor.

2. Use a broker A licensed mortgage broker can give you access to the best mortgage rate possible. A broker can access a pool of both traditional and non-traditional lenders from which they can then offer you the lowest rates possible.

Although brokers are paid by the lender, they are also acting for you and are not tied to specific lenders.

3. Consider a variable-rate mortgage The interest on a variable-rate mortgage is often lower than a fixedrate one. This enables you to pay less 38 YPNEXTHOME.CA

interest with your monthly payment.

Choosing a variable rate comes with the risk of paying a higher rate at some point. That’s because the rate will change with the prime lending rate set by your lender.

There are also ways to reduce the amount of interest you pay over the lifetime of your mortgage. Here are three strategies you can use: 4. Increase your down payment You can put down as little as five per cent to buy a home under $500,000, but when you put down less than 20 per cent you have to get mortgage insurance. A larger down payment also decreases the monthly cost of the principal and interest of your mortgage loan, as well as the total interest over the life of the mortgage.

5. Increase payment frequency When arranging your mortgage, ask your broker to structure it so you can make accelerated biweekly payments. If you do so, the monthly payment is divided by two and the frequency of payments increases

to 26 times a year from 12 times annually. Therefore, you’re paying the equivalent of 13 monthly payments a year and accelerating your payments, you’ll increase the amount that goes towards the principal.

6. Make lump-sum payments Ensure your mortgage allows you to make lump-sum payments. Making an annual lump-sum payment can help you pay off your mortgage years earlier and reduce your interest costs.

THE BOTTOM LINE Reducing your mortgage rate and increasing how much you pay towards your principal will help you reduce your overall mortgage costs.

It’ll also make your finances healthier because your monthly expenses will shrink and you’ll spend less to pay off your mortgage.

Inspiration | DESIGN SECRETS

BEFORE YOU HIRE A DESIGNER…

By Jane Lockhart

THE PROCESS OF designing a home can be daunting. But, choosing the right designer will help relieve some of the pressure and stress. Their expertise, knowledge and experience allows them to do the heavy lifting, take care of small and they have the foresight to anticipate any problems and take care of the details. However, before you even begin looking for the person who will help transform your home, here are some important things to consider.

Budget Be realistic. Know your budget from the beginning so that you and your 44 YPNEXTHOME.CA

designer can frame your vision within the scope of your finances. Do your research. Take a good look at what furniture, fabric, paint and renovations truly cost and plan for those costs.

As designers, it is our job to be up front about costs to temper your expectations. It’s very common for clients to have a $10,000 budget with a $1-million vision.

Scope of work Determining the scope of your project will set the framework for the process.

Once you know the range of work, you can find the appropriate designer. If you require a whole home renovation, find

the designer who has the experience required to finish your project. The scope can also help indicate whether your project requires an architect, engineer, designer or decorator. If you’re doing a full house renovation, or just redesigning one room, your designer can help make these determinations based on your budget.

Show and tell Not everyone speaks fluent designer.

This is where photos of finished rooms come in handy! Go through magazines, houzz.com and Pinterest to look for inspiration. …continued on page 46

Building Better Communities

You’d be amazed at the amount of ideas a simple image can spark. When trying to gather ideas, I often tell my clients to view the portfolio of your designer’s past projects. Sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it!

Time The magic of television has led many to believe anything can be completed within an hour or less. Would you really want to inhabit a home that looks like it took an hour or less to build? That’s why it’s important to understand design professionals can do great things with what they are given. There are many moving parts that help your dream design turn into a reality that include contractors, painters, electricians and many more who all need time to do their job properly.

Customized pieces of furniture alone take at least eight to 10 weeks to complete, a full house renovation can take up to a year. Do your research before hand, your future designer and contractors will confirm the time frame once the scope of work is established.

Decisions It’s important you feel comfortable with your designer. Work with someone you can trust them to create your vision for your home. While it’s not essential to having a personal connection, it may be beneficial knowing that you’ll be working with each other for several months.

Who to hire It is essential that you get the full value for your money so seek out a designer who can project and deliver your vision.

Experienced professional designers can work with any style.

In the end, designers are here to service you. Remember to choose wisely because your designer is an extension of yourself and will help you maximize your investment.
