What to do when you hire a contractor Many experienced and reliable contractors work in your community – highly skilled professionals who do business the right way.

Unfortunately not all contractors play by the same rules. Some cut corners to offer lower prices. They promise you a “good deal” as long as nothing is written down and you pay in cash.

These cash deals can mean a lot of risk for you.

Contractors who don’t do business properly don’t protect you from accidents or their mistakes. If there is a work-related injury or damage to your home, you could face lawsuits and financial loss.

You could be responsible for your contractor’s unpaid bills. And you could be stuck with work that is incomplete or badly done.

While serious, these risks are easy to avoid. Before you agree to let anyone work on your home, take these three simple steps: know who you’re dealing with, make sure you’re protected from risks, and always Get in in Writing! ™

How to find

a good contractor • Ask friends, family and neighbors about contractors they have hired to work on their homes.

• Contact your local Home Builders’ Association or other trade association for a list of professional contractors in your community.

• Ask your local building materials store if it has a list of recommended contractors.

• Ask your utility company if it has a list of recommended contractors.

• Check with your local Better Business Bureau to find out if a contractor is a member.

For more advice, including detailed information about contracts plus worksheets you can use when interviewing contractors, visit HiringAContractor.com For a listing of builder and renovator members, contact the Canadian Home Builder’s Association - Edmonton Region.

Editor’s Note

Window of opportunity

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

GOOD NEWS, ALBERTA: Just like the seasons changing, by calendar if not by temperature, so too are the economy and real estate markets in the province. Things may not yet be in full bloom, but the buds are beginning to sprout.

Following a very rough couple years, things appear to be turning the corner. Alberta is poised to lead Canada in economic growth this year, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s Provincial Outlook: Winter 2017.

The province’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.

Many economists believe that real estate markets in Alberta on a whole are at or close to the bottom, which means there is only one way to go – up.

Prospective homebuyers, your window of opportunity is about to open.

Property Profile | VILLAGE AT GRIESBACH

New urbanism at its best!

Winner of 4 Awards of Excellence for Best Community ONE OF THE CITY’S MOST PREFERRED FAMILY COMMUNITIES is transforming north Edmonton, west of

97 Street and north of 137 Avenue. From its convenient mid-town location and timeless architecture to its classic boulevard streets and spectacular amenities, Village At Griesbach is one of North America’s best examples of New Urbanism. This planning concept promotes the primacy of people’s wellness and socialization over vehicle transportation efficiency.

Its design focus is on walkability, social engagement and self-sustainability. It also recognizes the need for development to be more environmentally sustainable.

The Village is located on 620 acres of brownfield land being repurposed from a military training base in the 1950s to a bustling haven of pristine lakes, parks,

APR 7 - MAY 5, 2017 | NEW HOME GUIDE 21

schools, playgrounds, paths, trails, retail shops and happy homeowners.

It’s a throwback to the wisdom of traditional neighbourhood design, characterized by architectural diversity, pedestrian friendly grid streets, convenient greenspaces, mature landscapes, centralized schools and services, and social integration. It’s a concept that’s withstood the test of time and is what makes this award-winning place so special for more than a thousand homeowners.

Breathtaking architecture What immediately differentiates “the Village” from suburbia is its character architecture. Quite simply, the homes

here are beautiful because there’s a greater selection of architectural inspirations to choose from, including Queen Anne, Tudor and Colonial along with the more conventional Prairie and Craftsman styles to name just a few.

This ensures streets have greater design diversity, visual interest and curb appeal. Mature landscaping for homes and boulevards has been facilitated by Canada Lands Company’s commitment to preserve and protect natural assets. Relocating and replanting mature trees, when and wherever possible, has helped create a timeless community character.

Many homes have rear detached

garages, professionally finished to match the main home. It’s also the only place that permits “granny suite” development over the garage, providing a valuable option for secondary suite rentals or space for extended family.

Amazing greenspace & amenities A community designed for homeowner happiness must have excellent amenities. The Village has among the city’s best – both natural and man-made. It boasts four lakes and water features surrounded by large greenspaces, parks and shoreside paths. Patricia Lake even has a plaza and promenade where people

can peruse military history displays and visit a time capsule.

Central Hill Park, a 24 acre recreation area, is the heart of Village At Griesbach. This incredible area has a playground, dozens of public gardens, picnic tables, rest benches, tree lined paths, a toboggan hill, and a spectacular viewing summit overlooking Edmonton’s skyline. The area was designated as a soil dump for the early stages of construction and later sculpted into the signature amenity enjoyed today.

The Major General William Antrobus Griesbach K to 9 public school is walking distance from most homes. It hosts soccer fields, baseball diamonds and a colourful children’s playground. In the next few years, a second school is scheduled for construction in the community’s northwest sector. This will be a Separate School Division K to 6 institution.

The most anticipated new amenity will be the shops, stores, services and restaurants in the Village Square commercial district. This classic gathering and entertainment hub has over 13 acres of commercial and retail space bordered by stylish condominium and townhome development.

Its traditional high street design and lowrise architecture will foster a comfortable casual gathering point that serves as an ideal place for

neighbours and friends to reconnect and enjoy time together. Today, there are about a dozen local and nationally branded businesses operating, including a Marriott hotel. More commercial announcements will be coming throughout the year.

A profound legacy The legacy of Village At Griesbach is one of service, honour and pride.

For more than 50 years, these lands were home to many of Canada’s greatest military heroes, regiments and personalities.

The community was named after William Antrobus Griesbach, one of Edmonton’s most distinquished citizens. He was a major general, a respected lawyer, Edmonton’s youngest mayor and a member of parliament and senator.

Many of the community’s most

impressive public spaces were created as tributes to Canada’s military history. Patricia Lake pays homage to the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry and our country’s sacrifice in Afghanistan. Bedford Basin recognizes the Navy and its brave men and women, who trained in Edmonton before deploying to Halifax or Victoria for active service.

Beautiful Roundel Lake honours the Royal Canadian Air Force. Ad Astra Park hosts a magnificent monument in recognition of Canada’s progressive aeronautical achievements both in war time and air craft design.

Adjacent Roundel Park is revered Flanders Park, an inspiring tribute to Canadian physician, poet and soldier, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, who penned the iconic poem In Flanders Fields, more than 100 years ago.

Coventry Homes: 2017 Paws and Claws Gala

By Salina Yara Halabi

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 11, a sold out

crowd attended the Coventry Homes 2017 Paws and Gala – and it was a huge success! A generous group of 400 individuals helped raised an incredible $105,000 in support of the Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) at this year’s event.

The Hotel California themed fundraising gala featured Graham Neil & Donovan Workun as the event MC’s. The duo provided outstanding comedic entertainment for the night, while the Canadian Eagles tribute band “Hotel California” played hit tunes throughout the evening. One of the biggest features of the night was a special video message from Canadian country artist Brett Kissel, where he announced his donation of a beautiful signed guitar, tickets to one of his 26 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

concerts, and private guitar lessons!

The most important (and popular) highlights of the evening were the adorable animals from the EHS that were in attendance.

Providing consistent and honorable advancements in animal welfare is what defines the EHS, and the funds raised by the Paws and Claws gala will go towards the enrichment of the programs and services they provide.

To learn more about the EHS visit edmontonhumanesociety.com Next year marks the 10th Anniversary for the Paws and Claws gala! The Coventry Homes team

is looking forward to celebrating a successful decade of fundraising for the EHS and hope to hit the $1,000,000 mark for total funds raised on this special 10-year occasion.

Next year’s gala is set for Saturday, March 10 at the Northlands Expo Centre – you can secure your spot early by sending an email to gala@coventry-homes.com For more information on Coventry Homes, or for a list of showhomes, visit coventry-homes.com or call 780.453.5100.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

6 financial homebuying hacks calculator to help determine their payments. And social media is playing a more important role – 20 per cent used sites such as Facebook to learn more, 17 per cent used a mobile device, and of those, 22 per cent used a mortgage related app. And all of these figures are growing.

PLANNING TO BUY A HOME and not

sure where to begin? Maybe it’s your first home, or it’s been a while and you’re ready to move up to a larger property. Here are six home-buying hacks to help you prepare.

1 | GET WITH THE PROGRAMS There are various government programs available to help you buy a home: » Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP): The HBP allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSP to put toward a down payment on a home.

You have up to 15 years to repay the funds.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to modernize the program to allow Canadians to dip into their RRSPs to buy a home more than once, including when impacted by life changes such as job relocation, death of a spouse or marital breakdown. » First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC): Eligible first-time buyers can apply for the HBTC to help offset the costs associated with purchasing a home, such as legal fees, disbursements and land transfer taxes. The credit can provide up to $750 in federal tax relief.

For more on these programs, visit cra.gc.ca 2 | EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS Firsttime buyers can purchase a home with as little as five per cent of the purchase price as a down payment – as long as the property is less than 38 YPNEXTHOME.CA

$500,000. Anything higher than that, and the minimum down payment for the portion of the price higher than $500,000 is 10 per cent. So, assuming your price range is at that threshold, you’ll need to come up with at least $25,000. At that purchase price, depending on the market you’re in, this could mean you’d then be looking at a condo or townhome, instead of a detached home.

3 | VISIT THE BANK OF MOM AND DAD If your parents are baby boomers who have had the good fortune of building equity over the years as they paid down their mortgage while the value of their property multiplied, well… they may be in a position to help. Any many buyers are hitting up the bank of mom and dad. In the last two years, 28 per cent of first-time buyers hit the bank of mom and dad to help finance their purchase; from 2010 to 2014, only 17 per cent did.

4 | BECOME TECH SAVVY Mortgage consumers are becoming very tech savvy. In Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s 2015 Mortgage Consumer Survey, 78 per cent of respondents researched online, with 70 per cent using an mortgage

5 | BEFRIEND A BROKER OR BANKER Like many things in life, it’s all about relationships. And whether you use broker or a banker to secure a mortgage, you’ll likely come to value the relationship. In the same CMHC survey, consumer loyalty strengthened the longer people stayed with their lender. But since we’re talking about money, people are willing to switch lenders to get a better rate and save – a fact which is much more prevalent for bankers than brokers. And because brokers are able to offer products from multiple lenders, as opposed to bankers which offer only the products of their own institution, the market share held by brokers is growing notably, particularly among repeat buyers.

6 | RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH These days, with prices rising as they are and uncertainty in some markets, thorough research is an absolute must. Everything from your target area, desired housing type, builder or realtor, finances, how much you can afford, who you borrow from and the structure of your mortgage – take your time. Take months. Don’t rush anything. Anything.

White flower pots…

By C. Marie Hebson

Finally - Spring! I love setting out my flower pots for the season, such a great way to bring textural interest and colour to our outdoor spaces. Good flower pots are an investment, and should make a statement – shown here are some of my favorite white flower pots, so you can change your outdoor décor every year without having to match anything – enjoy!

42 YPNEXTHOME.CA

1 Old World Textural – for transitional to traditional homes: Look for interesting textures, mix up sizes and shapes.

Place them on your table, along the deck, in with the shrubs in your planting beds.

Found at potterybarn.com.

2 High Gloss White – for modern to transitional homes: Sleek, sophisticated, easy to keep clean, and comes in a variety of sizes and price points. The round – short planters are harder to find, and can be expensive.

3 Modern Texture – for modern to pushing traditional to modern homes: These have been around a while, but classic and timeless are always a wise investment for your home. Variety of heights, these landscape pots can be purchased at your local garden centre.

4 Laser Cut Steel – for a more modern home: These are more of an art installation than a flower pot, but I love that you get a play on light, along with a spot to put your favorite flowers.

5 Geometric – for a modern home: If your more A-symmetrical than symmetrical, these flower pots are for you!

With the modern movement making a strong come back here in Edmonton, these are a sure winner for contemporary landscapes.

6 Lotus - for traditional to modern homes: I love lotus flowers and orchids – pure serenity that brings calm and soothes the daily stresses away. This organic shaped flower pot definitely makes it into my personal garden.

7 Pot Lights - for modern to transitional homes: How cool is this for evening to have your planters light up the yard for those fireside chats, or neighbourhood BBQ’s. Made entirely of postconsumer recycled plastics, and are solar powered. Can be found on Rotoluxe.com (http://kuldesigns.com/ product-category/planters/)

Mismatch between housing supply and demographic demand in Canada THERE’S A QUESTION looming over every homebuyer, seller and real estate watcher in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area: what’s behind the housing affordability crunch?

Following an in-depth analysis, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) has identified some key factors behind current housing market conditions. The research report, The Housing Supply Deficit – Not Enough Homes for Families with Young Children, points to a significant and growing mismatch between housing demand and what home builders are able to supply, given planning and zoning patterns and the lack of available serviced land.

The report also comes with a warning: if current trends continue, Canada will see a shortfall of 300,000 family-oriented homes in the next 10 years.

According to CHBA’s data, demographic factors are driving demand for lowrise houses suited to young, first-time home-buying families, as Canada experiences a “baby boomlet.” Simultaneously, aging Baby Boomers and older Canadians are not downsizing from their detached homes in the numbers predicted, opting instead to age-in-place. In fact, many Boomers are actually trading up to larger single-family units, creating a more-pronounced shortfall of lowrise homes.

“There has been a lot of commentary around what’s driving house prices in markets like the GTA and Vancouver. Much of this overlooks the fundamental factors of supply and demand, and the increasing number of young families trying to achieve home ownership,” says CHBA CEO Kevin Lee. “CHBA’s research shows that current 56 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

patterns of urban development fail to address the needs of young families...

There is a distinct lack of higherdensity, ground-oriented homes they can afford, such as townhomes, stacked towns and similar housing formats. This is the ‘missing middle’ in our largest and fastest-growing communities,” Lee adds.

The effects of the lowrise shortfall are further amplified by supply constraints, including lack of infrastructure and developable land, development restrictions, NIMBYism, and municipal policies favouring highrise development.

Canada has seen a 27-per-cent drop in the construction of lowrise homes since 2007. The fastest-

growing markets are experiencing a much more dramatic decrease. In the GTA for example, inventory of lowrise homes dropped 89 per cent in the last decade, and sits at historic lows. There is a particular shortage of higher-density, lowrise attached homes offering access to transit, which increasingly represent the “missing middle” of urban housing stock.

“In markets experiencing strong economic growth and in-migration, these supply factors are a big part of what is fueling rapid price appreciation within the groundoriented housing segment. While some observers look for other explanations, and there are indeed other contributors, the ‘law’ of supply and demand remains pervasive,” Lee adds.

“What we are seeing is the Millennial generation really struggle to find a place to live and raise their families in our largest cities, and this has worrying longerterm implications for them, these communities, and the economy at large.

“Although there has been a lot of focus on trying to dampen prices, a big part of the solution is enabling a housing supply response. We’re not talking about ‘sprawl’ here, just about building smarter communities, including infill projects and transitoriented development, that young families find welcoming and manageable with young children.”

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE

5 things to consider before getting a mortgage

By Alyssa Furtado

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

SEARCHING FOR a new home is exciting. But with so many things to consider, the process can quickly become overwhelming.

Here are five things to consider before you get a mortgage.

Can you afford to buy a home?

The first thing to consider is how much you’re willing to to spend on a home. Lenders will use a formula to determine how much they’ll loan you.

The first one, called the gross debt service (GDS) ratio, suggests that potential housing costs, including mortgage payments, taxes and utilities, should not exceed 32 per cent of monthly income before taxes.

The total debt service (TDS) ratio, which adds lines of credit, car and credit card payments on top of your housing expenses, shouldn’t exceed 40 per cent of your income.

What is the term?

Lenders provide mortgages over a specified period of time, known as the term. While the most common term is five years, they can range from as little as six months to 10 years. Once the term is up, you can renew or renegotiate your mortgage with your lender or shop around for a better rate. A shorter one- or three-year term can provide flexibility as market conditions and interest rates change.

Fixed or variable rate?

A fixed-rate mortgage guarantees that the interest rate stays the same over 58 YPNEXTHOME.CA

the mortgage term. Knowing exactly how much to pay over a defined period is less stressful and can be easier to incorporate into a budget.

The interest rate on a variablerate mortgage, on the other hand, fluctuates depending on a bank’s prime lending rate. As interest rates change over the the term, the amount of your payment that goes towards interest will rise or fall. If you have an adjustable payment, the amount will change if interest rates increase or decrease. While the interest rate on a variable-rate mortgage is generally lower than a fixed-rate mortgage, there’s a risk that rates could rise.

How long do you want to make payments?

The time it takes to pay off the entire mortgage is called the amortization period. In some cases, these extend to more than 30 years but are capped at 25 years for buyers with down payments of less than 20 per cent.

Longer amortizations result in lower payments until the entire balance is paid off. While this might seem attractive, it also means you’ll pay more interest over time. Shorter amortizations have the opposite effect.

How often do you want to make payments?

There are several payment schedules to choose from – monthly, semimonthly, biweekly, accelerated biweekly, weekly or accelerated weekly. If you’re looking to pay off your mortgage quickly, more frequent payments can save on interest.

If you choose to make accelerated payments, you’ll make the equivalent of one additional monthly payment a year. This can shave years off the amortization.

The bottom line It can be easy to get caught up in the excitement of homeownership, but such a large debt shouldn’t be taken lightly. Shop around and compare rates, and weigh the different options. Finding an affordable home coupled the right term, interest rate, amortization and payment frequency will help you save on interest and pay off the mortgage sooner.
