Exploring new neighbourhoods A wanna-be adventurer at heart, I relish exploring new neighbourhoods on a bicycle. It’s been my main mode of transportation since I was little. I’ve been lucky over four solid decades to discover the good, the bad and the unexpected side of a neighbourhood thanks to my two-wheeled friend.

With bike sharing services such as Bixi and VeloGo, it’s easier than ever to discover a neighbourhood in metropolitan areas across the country.

Faster than walking, easier than transit – when you really want to understand what a neighbourhood

is all about, nothing beats a simple ride around the area.

For those who want to explore some of Canada’s top neighbourhoods even more intimately than by bike, surf your way to YPNextHome.ca to check out our team’s top featured neighbourhoods.

With more than 2,700 different neighbourhoods to discover, along with thousands of condominium, rental properties and homes for sale, your adventure begins right here.

Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you!

Real estate proves its worth over time

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

Since 2016 is a leap year, we thought it would be interesting to examine Canadian home price growth by looking at four-year intervals.

In a story on YPNextHome.ca, we’ve done just that – we’ve gone all the way back to 1984 – and the home price growth is staggering.

If you’ve ever heard the axiom, “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait,” this story will define its meaning.

You won’t believe it. We looked at market by market average home price growth, and while the usual

suspects – Toronto and Vancouver – are among the leaders, other areas, including Edmonton, demonstrate their value.

The growth over such a long period of time is impressive, if not expected. But when you look at it in four-year windows, you see variable growth rates and regional vacillations.

This speaks to the importance of economic and job growth as key drivers of real estate.

And more than anything, the exercise underlines the value of real estate over the long term.

The Estates at Waters Edge

R

ecreational lake front property has long been exclusively thought of as a summer treat. From that first warm weekend at the end of May, residents of cottage country do their best to squeeze in as much time at the lake before the leaves and snow fall.

There is, however, a new development in Alberta that offers the exclusive benefits of lakeside living year-round. Whether prospective buyers are looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, The Estates at Waters Edge offers unique, single-family homes to accommodate a range of budgets and lifestyles.

This secure, gated development is situated 45 minutes west of Edmonton on the shore of Lac St. Anne. As a perennial community equipped with resort-style amenities, residents enjoy the beauty that every season has to offer. Summer activities include water sports, fishing, walking, biking, or golfing at a nearby course. New for 2016 is the addition of a heated pool! A fully equipped fitness building is now up and running for residents to use and enjoy. Winter brings its own selection of outdoor activities, including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. For skating and hockey enthusiasts, there is an outdoor NHL-sized ice rink, complete with a skate change and warm-up

facility. Access to a private boat launch and a maintained marina allows for carefree boating enjoyment. For social gatherings, a clubhouse, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accommodate gatherings both small and large.

Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Architecture Team to keep turn-around time to a minimum. Most home builders charge a fee for any changes to their plans, however, this service is complementary for buyers who choose to build with Waters Edge. Owners can also choose to purchase an undeveloped lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guidelines.

Waters Edge homes have been designed in a timeless Craftsmanstyle and are available in an array of two to four bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,150 to 2,500+ sq.ft.. Layouts and room sizes are completely customizable to ensure that each plan meets the buyer’s needs. Yards are fully landscaped and can include a choice of parking pad, attached or detached garage. A variety of high-quality interior finishing packages are also available and owners can rest easy knowing that their residence comes with a 10-year Progressive Home Warranty to ensure the highest home construction quality.

Lot prices start in the low $100,000’s, and two bedroom residences with completely landscaped lots start in the low $300,000’s.

Two brand new showhomes are now open and available for immediate possession. Contact Mike at 780-405-6378 or 1-877-405-1105 or visit watersedgeestates.ca for more information.

ALL SEASON lakeside living AT ITS BEST! Only forty five minutes west of Edmonton and thirty minutes west of St. Albert, Lac Ste. Anne is conveniently located only a stone’s throw from a major city. Your journey will be well worth the short trip. Establish a permanent residence or settle in for the weekend. Our vibrant full service community will complement you at any stage in life.

2016 INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS… After a year as stylish as 2015, it’s hard to imagine that anything could top it. But if Houzz’s predictions of the 25 biggest design trends of the upcoming year turn out to be true, we’re in for a real treat. Read on to see my top 10 of Houzz’s predictions, and definitely logon to Houzz.com and look up “25 Design Trends Coming to Homes Near You in 2016”

BY C. MARIE HEBSON 1. BLACK APPLIANCES Polished Stainless is fast becoming a thing of the past, with new finishes and colours making their way into our lives, this new sleek black stainless is a trend of the future to watch for!

1

3. MIS-MATCHED CABINETRY All white kitchens are still hip and chic, but if you prefer something special, go bold and add colour and texture to your home. If your really creative and think outside the box- mix your door styles as well, the results can be quite whimsical and very creative.

3

2. FORMAL DINING ROOMS Want to sit down and enjoy dinner with your family and friends again? This is an option homeowners are wanting to integrate back into their homes.

4. HEATED ENTRYWAY FLOORS Not just for the bathroom anymore – adding heated entryways and/ or mudrooms is pure luxury, and a necessity in our cold Canadian climates.

How lovely would this feel when you take your winter boots off and step onto a warm floor!

Definite must have for 2016.

5. STATEMENT MIRRORS Think outside the box and go beyond a simple basic mirror.

Best way to add personality and update your powder room or bathroom.

This gorgeous mirror is the Spore by Arteriors.

4

6

6. BIDETS Bidets have never really caught on in North America, but with high tech toilets also comes integrated bidet features.

My top two favorites are the Kohler Numi, and the Toto Neorest Toilets.

9. BATHROOMS THAT ARE LIKE LIVING SPACES Bathrooms are the one space that constantly gets overrun with clutter, but 2016 will see an end to that. It’s time to take back your bathroom, and make it feel like the sanctuary it was meant to be.

7

7. TECH-LESS LIVING ROOMS We aren’t saying that tech filled homes are outdated, just that the trends show that families are opting to unplug and connect with one another to facilitate quality family time. Turn your living room back into a gathering space and reconnect.

8 8. POWDER ROOM WALL COVERINGS Dramatic wall coverings in powder rooms are nothing new, but the options have grown considerably. From dark wallpaper to fabrics, to millwork, to mosaic tiles as shown here, creating major wow factor in your powder room is a design must have.

10 10. SUN ROOMS One of my top wants is a great sun room, and I’m not alone. Many homeowners even those who don’t have the luxury of having one or being able to add a sun room, are finding ways to carve out a special sun-drenched corner in their homes.

Shown here are a compilation of images and items found online to compose her article. Should you want information on any of these products, don’t hesitate to contact our design studio.

Advice | CHBA ALBERTA

Think long term about real estate

By Jim Rivait

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MAYBE YOU’VE HEARD that Beyonce is coming to Edmonton this spring.

Depending on your musical tastes, this may be big deal or not.

It’s more likely you’re wondering why someone from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association is providing concert updates in New Home Guide.

The connection is confidence.

Big-time concert promoters such as Live Nation still have confidence that the Edmonton economy can support one of only two Canadian tour dates for a star such as Beyonce. And people here are still expressing their confidence in Edmonton’s future by buying new homes.

This might seem to run contrary to much of what you hear these days with low oil prices and the impact that has on employment.

Perhaps a little context will help.

Edmonton’s unemployment rate was up the last time stats were released, but remains under the national average. The rate for the metro area is lower than 20 of the major cities tracked by Statistics Canada, including Toronto. Montreal and Ottawa.

If that doesn’t make you feel a little more confident about where the local economy stands, consider the oilsands. You might have seen a headline warning that “Oilsands construction jobs to shrink by 84%.”

This sounds bad – and it is certainly a change from what was expected. But the report by PetroLMI also noted that 32 YPNEXTHOME.CA

the surge of oilsands construction over the past few years will mean more hiring to operate and maintain those new facilities. By 2020, when a lower pace of construction is expected to eliminate 10,305 jobs, the number of additional workers needed to run and repair the plants will climb by 9,870.

The net effect is a loss of just one per cent of jobs. The new jobs are permanent and bring greater economic stability than the fly-in, flyout labour force of the boom years.

When you’re assessing the strength of the local economy, it’s also worthwhile to recognize how much the city has grown in the recent past.

ATB Financial recently calculated that Edmonton grew by more than 40 per cent since 2001, adding 400,000 people to the metro population.

Even if the number of people moving here slips, Edmonton has built a lot of momentum to carry us through economic cycles.

To put this growth into perspective, it’s 6.5 times the number of

people who could squeeze into Commonwealth Stadium in May to see Beyonce.

There’s an old saying about the risks of putting off a home purchase because of economic uncertainty: “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.”

Beyonce puts it a little differently in the song Single Ladies: “If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.”

If you were planning to buy a new home but are holding off because the daily headlines focus on short-term pain instead of long-term gain, maybe it’s time to reconsider.

Or like Beyonce, you might be singing “Oh, oh, oh” in a couple years.

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.

5 reasons 2016 is a good year to buy a home in Canada markets is off the charts. Greater Vancouver average home prices rose 20.56 per cent in the last year, 31.58 per cent over the last three years. For the GTA, the figures are 10.69 and 27.44 per cent, respectively.

WHY IS 2016 A GOOD YEAR TO BUY

a home in Canada? Let us count the ways.

1. Low interest rates In its latest rate announcement on Jan. 20, the Bank of Canada held its target for the overnight rate at 0.50 per cent, citing a setback brought on by a decline in oil and commodities prices. BoC expects the economy to grow by about 1.5 per cent in 2016 and 2.5 per cent in 2017.

Some experts, such as Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets, even anticipated the Bank would reduce the rate. Though it didn’t happen then, he still expects interest rates to remain low through 2016, if not fall.

2. The upside of down prices When the The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released its latest statistics on Feb. 16, one number jumped off the page and into the headlines: 17 per cent – the rate by which the national average sale price rose on a year-over-year basis in January.

“Holy,” prospective homebuyers might have thought, “how will I ever be able to buy a home if this keeps happening?”

The key thing to look for when you see such news, however, is what’s happening in your market. Real estate is local, not national. You don’t buy the Canadian market, or even a

48 YPNEXTHOME.CA

provincial or regional one. You buy one home in one location.

Excluding British Columbia and Ontario from CREA’s January stats, the national average sale price actually declined slightly, by 0.3 per cent.

Economies and housing sectors in markets such as Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon are feeling the pinch of the extended slowdown in oil and gas. For existing homeowners, of course, this isn’t great news, as average home prices in Calgary dropped 3.05 per cent year-over-year in January; in Saskatoon, they fell 2.11 per cent.

For prospective buyers, however, this means opportunity.

3. The hot gets hotter The Toronto and Vancouver housing markets continue to roll along, recording record sales and prices. If you live there and you’re fortunate enough to be able to buy, particularly in the lowrise category, the forecasts for 2016 are for more growth.

Again looking at the CREA’s stats for January, B.C.’s Lower Mainland and the GTA contributed most to the national increase. Greater Vancouver (20.56 per cent) and the Fraser Valley (16.94 per cent) posted the largest gains, followed by Greater Toronto (10.69 per cent).

Longer-term performance for these

4. History is on your side Have you ever heard the adage, “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait,” but aren’t sure what it means, exactly?

While there are no guarantees, in short, real estate in Canada is a proven performer over time.

Sure, Vancouver and Toronto have shown the most spectacular historical growth, but even unsung markets in eastern Canada have performed well over time, thank you very much.

5. Spring is around the corner Spring in real estate is typically “busy season.” While it’s largely been a mild winter in much of Canada, the warmer weather and longer days generally encourage more activity in the market. Those who were thinking of selling but delayed through the winter months might now throw up that “For Sale” sign.

Those looking to buy are similarly more enthused about getting out and looking around when the weather is nicer, and when, coincidentally, listings usually increase.

Even on the new-home front, builders often use the spring season to launch new developments, and to add incentives for any remaining inventory in existing communities.

Showhome Review | WHITE EAGLE HOMES

White Eagle Homes The Blue Diamond Showhome WHITE EAGLE HOMES PRESENTS the beautiful Blue Diamond

showhome in Westpointe of Windermere. This two-storey home is nothing short of a showstopper with stunning features and a custom design that White Eagle Homes is known for. At 4,168 sq. ft., this home is filled with unique design features and an unmatched attention to detail. Plus, there is an additional 1,800 sq. ft. of luxurious living space in the developed basement.

The Blue Diamond’s attractive exterior features a stamped concrete driveway that leads to the home’s triple car garage. Neutral colours combined with dark cultured stone accents create a modern feel to the home. An impressive eight-ft. door with glass accents welcomes you into the home’s grand foyer and open concept main floor.

The foyer and great room both feature spectacular two-storey ceilings that create an instant open and airy feeling. This White Eagle home offers upgraded dark hardwood floors and beautiful

white porcelain tiles throughout each space. A stunning curved, open tread staircase leading to the second floor anchors the space and is accented with beautiful iron and maple detailing. The great room features a linear Napoleon two-way gas fireplace accented with a multi-tiered cultured stone surround. A second wall in the space presents a grand stone facade that complements the sophisticated fireplace design. Large floor-to-ceiling windows face the back yard of the home and allow for natural light to fill the space.

Open to the great room is the home’s striking kitchen. A central kitchen island with a raised eating bar provides additional seating to the area and features a granite countertop. The kitchen sink is found in the island – a great design feature that allows for extra counter space throughout the kitchen. Dark stained maple cabinetry complete with soft close drawers and contemporary hardware, as well as granite countertops are featured throughout. Modern mosaic tile backsplash and contemporary style lighting complete the space. Continuing through the kitchen leads to the home’s nook

area, which has enough space to comfortably seat a table of six.

The nook features a window-lined wall and leads to the home’s back deck. The home also offers a private dining room to left of the nook, allowing for a more intimate dining experience – perfect for entertaining the family and friends.

Also found on the main floor is the substantially sized den, accessed through double French doors. This offers an ideal space for an in-home office or study space. The mudroom and laundry is also located on the home’s main floor and can be accessed through the walk-in pantry situated off the garage entry. The mudroom features a washer and dryer, as well as a convenient sink and storage space.

A main floor bath suitably located between to the den and kitchen completes the main level of the home.

52 YPNEXTHOME.CA

The second level of the home is a just as spacious as the main floor. Four exceptionally sized bedrooms are presented in this home, each featuring a walk-in closet and private bath. Double French doors lead to the home’s master bedroom, which is a large, inviting space and offers a linear gas fireplace with cultured stone surround, plus enough space to easily fit a king sized bed. A generously sized walk-in closet allows for plenty of storage space, and a substantial ensuite features a corner Jacuzzi that is surrounded by tile. A large walk-in shower is also found in the ensuite.

The home’s finished basement provides another immaculate living space for homeowners. A fifth bedroom is featured on this level, as well as a gas fireplace with cultured stone surround. Engineered hardwood flooring with in-floor heating creates a comfortable environment in any season, while a wet bar with granite countertop, mosaic tile backsplash and maple cabinetry offer a complete entertainment space. There is also a theatre room that is sure to impress the entire family.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

The 5 biggest mortgage mistakes to avoid

By Alyssa Richard

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

NOW THAT YOU’VE decided to buy a home, there are numerous steps in the process you’ll have to follow.

When it comes to getting a mortgage, it could cost you in the long run if you make a mistake or two.

To help you save money and avoid potential problems down the road, here are some mistakes you should avoid:

1. Not knowing your credit score/rating Lenders love borrowers with a good credit rating. They’re often the ones who pay their bills on time, don’t use a large percentage of their available credit, and have different types of credit, such as a credit card, car loan, and line of credit. If you have good credit, you should be able to qualify for the best mortgage rates. But if you have bad credit, expect to get a mortgage with a higher interest rate. Not sure of what your rating is?

You can get your credit score from Equifax or TransUnion.

2. Not being pre-approved for a mortgage If you’ve been looking at properties for a while, you might suddenly find the perfect home. But it’s possible you won’t be able to afford the place. That’s why it’s best to get preapproved for a mortgage so you’ll know how much you can afford.

Many lenders will guarantee your pre-approved rate for a period of 66 YPNEXTHOME.CA

between 60 and 120 days. That’ll give you time to find a property in your price range.

3. Not shopping around a mortgage If you think you’ll get rewarded with the lowest rate from your financial institution because you’ve been a loyal customer for a number of years, think again. Your institution may not have the best rate while a rival across the street might have a lower rate.

You should do some comparison shopping on a site like RateHub.ca before getting a mortgage. You can also hire a mortgage broker who can do all the legwork at no cost to you.

4. Not making more payments No one really likes to carry a large mortgage. Typically, mortgage payments are made on a monthly basis but there are ways to pay it off faster by using accelerated biweekly payments. For example, if you have a $400,000 mortgage with a 25-year amortization and make monthly payments, your mortgage

won’t be paid off until 2041. We used RateHub’s mortgage payment calculator and found if you make accelerated payments, you’d pay off your mortgage nearly three years earlier and save about $15,000 in interest. Also, most lenders allow you to make lump-sum payments, which will let you pay your mortgage down faster and save you thousands of dollars in interest.

5. Not preparing for extra costs Buying a home can end up costing a lot more than you’d expect. First, there are closing costs, which include legal fees, title insurance and the land transfer tax. You might also need to reimburse the seller for the property taxes and utility bills they’ve already paid. These costs will add up to from anywhere between 1.5 and four per cent of the property’s purchase price.
