Editor’s Note

Alberta, your recovery is ready

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

ALBERTA, YOUR TIME HAS COME. Again. Finally.

Following a very rough couple years, things are beginning to turn the corner.

Indeed, the province is poised to lead Canada in economic growth this year, mainly due to fast-rising oil production, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s Provincial Outlook: Winter 2017.

Alberta’s real GDP is forecast to grow by 2.8 per cent this year, the fastest among the provinces, with 0.4 percentage points coming from the rebuilding efforts in Fort McMurray, the Board says.

While recovery in the housing industry may not follow in lockstep pace, many experts say it’s bound to come.

Good news, indeed, for a province and economy that have been fighting challenging conditions.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

Latest mortgage insurance premium increase to have minor impact

By Wayne Karl

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

CANADIANS ARE about to face yet another potential home-buying hurdle, as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) has announced that it is increasing its homeowner mortgage insurance premiums effective March 17, 2017.

Unlike the latest changes to mortgage regulations, announced late last year, this newest round is expected to have a minor impact.

CMHC says the higher premium will result in an increase of just $5 to the monthly mortgage payment of the average CMHC-insured homebuyer.

“We do not expect the higher premiums to have a significant impact on the ability of Canadians to buy a home,” says Steven Mennill, senior vice-president, Insurance. “Overall, the changes will preserve competition in the mortgage loan insurance industry and contribute to financial stability.”

“The increase in premiums for high ratio mortgages will have a minor effect on the average Canadian,” James Laird, co-founder of RateHub and president of CanWise Financial, told New Home Guide.

“Relative to the rule changes that were implemented in late 2016, this is not a major change. Premiums will be increased for all of those Canadians with less than 20 per cent down, but these premiums are added on to the mortgage and paid off over the life of the mortgage, so the cash required on closing does not change.

This change specifically will not impact the borrowing habits for the 30 YPNEXTHOME.CA

majority of high ratio clients.”

Using RateHub’s mortgage payment calculator, based on an average home price of $730,472 with a minimum down payment of 6.6 per cent (or $48,047), the current premium is 3.6 per cent of the mortgage amount (purchase price less down payment). For that mortgage amount of $682,425, the CMHC premium is $24,567. With the new premium at four per cent of mortgage amount, the CMHC premium becomes $27,297 – an increase of $2,730. This translates to a mortgage payment increase of approximately $12 per month (based on today’s best rate of 2.44 per cent, amortized over 25 years).

If that buyer has an 18-per-cent down payment, the total down payment would be $131,485. At the current premium of 1.8 per cent of the mortgage amount, that buyer is paying $10,782 in CMHC insurance.

At the new premium of 2.8 per cent of the mortgage amount, the CMHC premium becomes $16,772 – a $5,990 difference for that buyer. This translates to a mortgage payment increase of approximately $27 per month (based on 2.44 per cent amortized over 25 years), RateHub says.

Capital requirements are an important factor in determining mortgage insurance premiums. The changes reflect the Office of the

Superintendent of Financial Institutions’ new capital requirements that came into effect on Jan. 1 of this year that require mortgage insurers to hold additional capital. Capital holdings create a buffer against potential losses, helping to ensure the long term stability of the financial system.

Prior to the mortgage rule changes... » The average CMHC-insured loan was approximately $245,000. » The average down payment was approximately eight per cent. » The average gross debt service ratio (GDS) was 25.6 per cent.

To qualify for CMHC insurance, a homebuyer’s GDS should not exceed 32 per cent of their total monthly household income.

Premiums are calculated based on the loan-to-value ratio of the mortgage being insured. The premium can be paid in a single lump sum but more frequently is added to the mortgage principal and repaid over the life of the mortgage as part of regular mortgage payments.

Rising oil production makes Alberta fastest growing provincial economy in 2017

ALBERTA IS POISED to have the strongest economic growth in 2017, mainly due to fast-rising oil production, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s Provincial Outlook: Winter 2017.

Former leaders, British Columbia and Ontario, will see the pace of economic growth ease this year, but they will still deliver a solid performance.

“Following two tough years stemming from widespread weakness in the energy sector, Alberta’s economy finds itself with the strongest economic growth this year,” says Marie-Christine Bernard, associate director, provincial forecast, The Conference Board of Canada. “Along with a big increase in oil production, some of the growth in 36 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

Alberta will come from the rebuilding efforts in Fort McMurray. However, we expect more subdued economic growth next year as oil prices are not expected to increase very much.

Beyond Alberta, all provinces are forecast to see positive economic growth in 2017, with the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador.”

Alberta’s real GDP (gross domestic product) is forecast to grow by 2.8 per cent this year, the fastest among the provinces, with 0.4 percentage point coming from the rebuilding efforts in Fort McMurray.

Also contributing to the province’s growth is a more stable outlook

for the energy sector following the recent OPEC agreement to cut oil production, which will allow oil prices to average almost US$60 a barrel for the West Texas Intermediate by the end of 2018.

Although investment in the energy sector will not be increasing at a fast pace, total exports are expected to increase this year due to robust oil production gains as new oil sands projects come online.

Another positive development for Alberta down the road is the federal government’s conditional approval of the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement project and Kinder Morgan pipeline.

We are all looking for ways to inject colour, happiness and a feeling of security in our homes these days, I use the holidays as an excuse to add a splash of colour. Here are five colorways to inspire you for your home this Easter Holiday.

Easter Decor…

By C. Marie Hebson

• Pink: Love, hope, kindness.

Dye your easter eggs soft pale pink, then double dip with gold metallic – tres chic. Ground the pink with accents of gold to create a more sophisticated table setting – truly a classic.

38 YPNEXTHOME.CA

• Lavendar: Wealth, wisdom, spirituality. An eclectic mix of this and that, which is so lovely and colourful – lavender, lilacs with bold hits of easter egg yellow, green, pink and orange make this scheme such a delight.

• Delph Blue: Intuition, trust, wisdom. Blue is such a gorgeous, classic colour – paired here with a chinoiserie table cloth and greek key toss cushion wrapping easter eggs with pretty blue ribbon and pussy willows grounds the more stuffy blue to something more touchable and welcoming.

• Green. Tranquil, health, vitality. If your afraid of colour, green is the new neutral – whether your bold enough to go citrine green or prefer a soft, watery green (shown here), green blends beautifully because we find it all around us in nature.

Makes all wood look alive and vibrant.

• Black. Elegant, grounding, mysterious. Love these silhouette eggs – Try black this Easter paired with your favorite colour or on its own, so elegant and exciting. Instantly give your table more wow factor with black.

Photos compiled are from websites that Marie shops at, various items chosen are befitting the mood and depict best choices for this article. Should you want information on any of these products, please contact interiorsBYDESIGNinc.

Supply and demand imbalance skews Canadian market

By Wayne Karl

SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUES – and

the resulting price increases – in Vancouver and Toronto continue to skew the national real estate picture.

Thankfully, however, housing market conditions in the rest of the country are not fallowing suit.

“The shortage of homes available for sale has become more severe in some cities, particularly in and around Toronto and in parts of BC,” Gregory Klump, chief economist of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), said in releasing the association’s statistics for January 2017. “Unless sales activity drops dramatically, the outlook for home prices remains strong in places that face a continuing supply shortage.”

National home sales were down slightly in January on a monthover-month basis, falling 1.3 per cent – putting them at the second lowest monthly level since the fall of 2015 and only slightly above levels recorded last November when recently tightened mortgage regulations came into effect.

Sales activity was down from the previous month in about half of all local markets, led by the GTA, Greater Vancouver and Montreal.

“Canadian homebuyers face some challenges this year, including new mortgage rules that make it harder to qualify for a mortgage and regulatory changes that will push up mortgage financing costs,” says CREA President Cliff Iverson. “It will take some time to gauge the extent to which these challenges will weigh on homebuyers in different housing markets across Canada.”

The imbalance between limited housing supply and robust demand in Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe region (the GTA, HamiltonBurlington, Oakville-Milton, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, 58 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

Brantford, the Niagara Region, Barrie and nearby cottage country) is without precedent, CREA says.

The number of months of inventory in January 2017 stood at or below one month in the GTA, Hamilton-Burlington, Oakville-Milton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford and Guelph.

While the conditions in Toronto and Vancouver are good for those who already own homes, they’re anything but for prospective homebuyers.

“Supply and demand for singlefamily homes will return to a more sustainable balance over time, reflecting fewer transactions as homebuyers are priced out of the market, and price stability rather than price gains,” Klump told New Home Guide.

“To qualify for home purchase financing under recently tightened mortgage regulations, first-time homebuyers have been forced to look further from the urban centres, where land prices are less expensive, or shop for a lower priced home.”

Prices for two-storey singlefamily homes posted the strongest

year-over-year gains (16.8 per cent), followed closely by townhouse/ row units (15.8 per cent), one-storey single-family homes (14.4%) and condo units (13.3 per cent).

While benchmark home prices were up from year-ago levels in 10 of 13 housing markets tracked by the MLS HPI, price trends continued to vary widely by location.

Benchmark prices continue to climb in Victoria and elsewhere on Vancouver Island together with Greater Toronto, Oakville-Milton and Guelph. Year-over-year price gains in these five markets ranged from about 18 to 26 per cent in January.

The national average price for homes sold in January 2017 was $470,253, up just 0.2 per cent from where it stood one year earlier.

The national average price continues to be pulled upward by sales in Vancouver and Toronto, two of Canada’s tightest, most active and expensive housing markets.

The average price is reduced by almost $120,000 to $351,998 if Vancouver and Toronto sales are excluded from calculations.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

Should you use the Home Buyers’ Plan?

By Alyssa Furtado

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

WITH THE AVERAGE selling price of a home in Canada now beyond $470,00, it can take years to save for a down payment because homebuyers must put down five per cent or more.

The Canadian government has a program called the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) to help first-time buyers get into the market.

This program allows you to withdraw up to $25,000 from your RRSP if you’re a first-time homebuyer.

If your spouse or partner is also a firsttime buyer, they can also withdraw $25,000 from their RRSP, for a total down payment of $50,000.

But is the HBP right for you?

Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of the program.

Save your down payment quicker The largest benefit of the HBP is that it lets you become a homeowner sooner. Saving for a large down payment can be daunting if you’re starting at zero.

The HBP allows you to access the money you already saved in your RRSP. Accessing this money can significantly decrease the time you have to spend saving.

Reduced mortgage default insurance costs If you’re planning to make a down payment of 20 per cent or less, your mortgage is considered high-ratio, and you’ll need mortgage default insurance. The lower your down payment, the higher your premiums.

As of March 17, the premium rates are: 70 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Down payment 5% to 9.99% 10% to 14.99% 15% to 19.99% 20% or more

Premium rate 4% 3.1% 2.8% 0%

You don’t have to pay the insurance premiums at closing. Instead, they’re usually added to the mortgage and you pay them off over time.

The downside of mortgage insurance is you’re essentially paying for nothing. The insurance doesn’t protect you, it protects your lender in the event you can’t make your payments. By adding those premiums to your mortgage, you’ll have less equity in your home. Even if you shop around for the best rates, you’ll end up paying additional interest over the life of your mortgage.

If you don’t want to pay mortgage insurance, you need to put down at least 20 per cent down. Some Canadians use the HBP to top up their existing down payment to 20 per cent so they won’t have to get mortgage insurance.

You’ll be taxed if you don’t pay it back The HBP isn’t free money. You can withdraw up to $25,000 tax-free from your RRSP, but you have to repay the amount you borrowed over a 15-year period. If you don’t make your repayments, the government will consider the money taxable income.

Repayments begin in the second year after you make your withdrawal.

The bottom line The best way to use the HBP is to save for your home in your RRSP and withdraw that money. You can also contribute your income tax refunds to your RRSP to grow your savings faster. But you aren’t robbing yourself of compounding as long as you don’t touch the money you already saved for retirement.

Alyssa Furtado is founder and CEO of RateHub.ca, a website that compares mortgage rates, credit cards, deposit rates, and insurance with the goal to empower Canadians to search smarter and save money.
