Neighbourhood focused One of the most exciting innovations at YPNextHome over the last few years has been creating Neighbourhood Profiles – comprising a wealth of data and information – from across the country.

In every issue of New Condo Guide, we’ll show you at least one of these featured neighbourhoods. And if you look online, you’ll find more than 2,800 neighbourhoods you can search as part of your experience on YPNextHome.ca.

That’s a lot of information.

Our curated neighbourhood content provides a lively snapshot of some of Canada’s more popular neighbourhoods. These profiles have been researched and compiled by a nationwide team of writers and editors, and they include photos and, in some cases, exclusive video tours with local celebrities and well-known residents. Demographics, housing types and other information... all leading to listings in the area.

Check it out and let us know what you think.

The burden of drywall

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

+ get social

Yes, drywall – that ubiquitous but mostly unseen panel of calcium sulfate dihydrate used to make interior walls and ceilings – is about to add a significant chunk to new home costs.

How? You can thank a party completely unrelated to the home building industry – Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

As our story on page 76 discusses, CBSA in September arbitrarily slapped huge levies on drywall coming into Canada from the U.S. Duties ranging from 105 to 276 per cent were imposed immediately, delivering “detrimental effects” on Canadian businesses and economies.

Just how detrimental? With

drywall producers announcing price increases as high as 50 per cent, builders can no longer absorb the tariff; buyers could be looking at home price increases of $10,000 or more – all within the last month.

“We are urging the government to do what it can to alleviate this extraordinary burden on the industry, especially for those already with contracts in place, and on new homebuyers,” Canadian Home Builders’ Association CEO Kevin Lee told New Home Guide.

Drywall may be a small part of what goes into a home, but with numbers this large, it’s the last thing we need.

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.

All lots are fully serviced, have lake access and are starting at the incredible price of $350,000 and homes available for immediate possession at 434,900!

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.

McConachie A community called home

COME CHECK OUT the 10 new

showhomes in this fabulous established community with parks, amenities, streetscapes and architecture all in place. McConachie is a Walton Development and Management L.P. (Walton) community that fulfills your expectations from yesterday and your dreams for tomorrow. Many areas have lost this sense of neighbourhood but McConachie has brought it back!

Careful planning right down to neighbour-friendly cul-de-sacs, back lanes and solid community fencing that give the homeowner security and pride in ownership. McConachie is the community called home.

This picturesque, family-oriented and architecturally-controlled community is nestled within the bustling northeast Edmonton. Relax on a park bench while watching the birds that inhabit the six-acre

pond or jog the pathways that are tailor made for families to enjoy and explore nature together. Beautiful streetscapes add to the wonderful family energy that McConachie offers.

Organize impromptu team sports with your neighbours’ kids or get the grownups together for a pickup game of baseball or soccer. Younger kids love the new playground! A District Recreation Campus will be developed

by the City of Edmonton within the community of McConachie in the near future – designed playing fields and greenspaces will keep your family fit and having fun. McConachie has set aside 40 acres for development by the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Catholic and Edmonton Public school boards. Get ready to enroll your children in the brand new K-9 Catholic School opening in 2017.

OCT 21 - NOV 18, 2016 | NEW HOME GUIDE 21

The school will have a capacity of 750 students and expandable to 900.

Walton expects that this area will be the hub of the community with sports fields, two schools, recreational opportunities and community amenities.

Amenities McConachie is next door to extensive retail shopping, banks, Tim Horton’s, Clareview Recreation Centre, a library, schools, clinics, bus routes and LRT – whatever the family needs or wants! A new No Frills grocery store is opening this fall within the community. The proximity to mass transit, and Manning and Anthony Henday freeways make getting around town easy, taking just 10 minutes to get to St. Albert, Ft. Saskatchewan and Namao. With easy access to major roadways and minutes to shopping centers, there is so much to enjoy without the hassle of long commutes.

22 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Lifestyle The McConachie lifestyle is for everyone – young and old. From the overall design of the community, to the variety of home styles to choose from, there is something for all. As the community continues to grow, a variety of housing is being introduced for people to enjoy a complete life cycle within the community. Whether you want a single-family home, adult bungalows or apartment-style condo, McConachie has the right home, at the right price waiting for you.

McConachie’s latest condo project, Elements, by the Carlisle Group, is ideally located and perfectly priced.

Royal West Homes is delighted to present Air Harbour, perfect adult bungalows with exceptional value.

Selling now are stage five and six lots, close to the new playground and well connected to the future McConachie Boulevard and 66 Street connection.

These highly sought-after lots have

either front-attached garages or rear-lane access garages. Don’t forget to check out the beautiful semi-detached homes with frontattached garages that are functional and attractive. There is a nice flow to the community with its wide array of homes to choose from that range in size and price guaranteed to accommodate the needs of a growing family or those looking to downsize.

This blend of housing types adds value to each home and value to each choice in the future. There’s not a cookie-cutter style of house in this stylish community and certainly not a cookie-cutter style of living. McConachie is a community for those who love style, enjoy their neighbourhood and want convenience. Both the developer and the builders have worked closely to ensure that this community vision is demonstrated throughout every

aspect of McConachie, from the treelined boulevards and greenspaces to rhythmic streetscapes.

The Arts and Crafts home design The Arts and Crafts design is resurging as people seek to reconnect to a time where family values were important. The exteriors boast individualized appearances with gables, porches, and a variety of tasteful and relaxing colours. The window placement on each home goes beyond the average use – they bring natural light into the rooms in a glorious manner that enhances the beauty within. People often think the Arts and Crafts’ open concept as being a contemporary innovation but in fact, world renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright often employed open spaces, natural colours, textures and glass to complement the environment and bring in generous amounts of natural light. So it is no

surprise Walton chose innovative and detail-conscious builders to make their vision of McConachie a reality.

Backyards are perfect for family living as they provide room for kids to play and adults to entertain, offering an interactive extension of their home.

McConachie has created excitement with 10 award-winning builder showhomes that showcase style, quality, affordability and value – the cornerstones of this delightful community. A big part of the community’s success is the award-winning builder group, Jayman Built, Hopewell Residential, Morrison Homes, and City Homes.

Choose your perfect home and your perfect builder. Front-garage homes

by Morrison Homes, City Homes, Hopewell Residential and Jayman Built; rear-laned homes by Morrison Homes and Hopewell Residential; and semi-detached homes with attached garages by Jayman Built.

They have invested a lot time researching what today’s buyer is looking for in a new home, and each have raised the bar by introducing a number of unique and dynamic floorplans. The builders are proud to present these high quality single homes in McConachie starting in the affordable $340’s.

Your Community, Your Home Walton Development and Management has succeeded in creating a community that fulfills everyone’s needs. Walton is serious about providing a neighbourhood that people will love to live in and love to talk about. Meticulous planning has gone into McConachie, ensuring its development meets the needs of the people and the nature that it surrounds. McConachie as a whole provides the perfect community for every lifestyle and the builders provide the perfect homes for you.

Five reasons to love living in Trumpeter

BU O ILT UR A GR HO LL O EE ME F N S CE A RT RE IF IE

D!

UNITED COMMUNITIES 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, in St. Albert in 10 minutes. With nearly 235 species of birds on the nearby Big Lake, 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, then 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, 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 public transit 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 28

Advice | CHBA ALBERTA

Where Edmonton is growing

By Donna Moore

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

WHEN YOU’RE SHOPPING FOR A NEW HOME, it helps to understand what’s happening in the local housing market. The city of Edmonton’s Growth Monitoring Report provides an annual snapshot of the housing choices of the capital’s residents.

The 114-page report is packed with nuggets of information that may come as a surprise. For example, despite massive media focus on garage suites, only 29 permits were granted in 2015. That’s one garage suite for every 120 new single-family homes built within city limits.

Here are 10 more facts about residential development in Edmonton and the neighbourhoods that are attracting the most new-home buyers.

1. Homebuyers are overwhelmingly heading for areas outside of the Henday, with 82 per cent of new single- and multi-family homes being built in developing neighbourhoods.

42

4. In 2015, developing neighbourhoods grew by 10,503 units. Single- and semi-detached homes remain the most popular choice, with 46 per cent of the market, followed by apartment suites (35 per cent) and row housing (19 per cent).

5. The Chappelle Area was the growth champion – gaining 994 homes. Together with Walker (857 units) and Allard (556 units), these three neighbourhoods grew more than all the core and established neighbourhoods combined.

6. Over the last five years, a total of 11 new neighbourhoods have added more than 1,000 singleand multi-family homes. The top five choices: • Windermere – 2,892 • Walker – 2,473 • Summerside – 2,443 • Chappelle Area – 2,197 • Laurel – 1,949

2. The City of Edmonton attracted 78 per cent of the region’s home starts – up sharply from the 10-year average of 67 per cent. A big surge in construction downtown helped lift the capital city’s share of the metro market.

7. Rounding out the list of most popular neighbourhoods are: McConachie, Callahan, Allard, Ambleside, The Hamptons and Secord.

3. New neighbourhoods gained nearly 25,000 people – that’s 10 times the number in older areas of Edmonton.

8. All of this activity adds up to a huge direct investment for residential construction – more than $19 billion in the last decade

YPNEXTHOME.CA

and $3.2 billion just last year.

That’s almost double the value of non-residential construction permits granted by the city.

9. The big driver of housing construction is the city’s remarkable growth during the last decade – an extra 165,535 people. There were 91,508 housing starts over the same period to accommodate all those new Edmontonians.

10.The flood of people coming to Edmonton has given the region the youngest age profile of Canada’s big metro areas. And the city is expected to grow by another 484,000 to 593,000 people by the year 2044, so we’ll be building a lot more new homes in the coming decades.

You can learn more about Edmonton’s expansion from the Growth Monitoring Report posted on the city’s website. And you can always learn more about the advantages of buying a new home and how to find quality builders by checking out the resources at the CHBA Edmonton Region website.

Donna Moore is CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta.

CHBA – Alberta represents over 1,600 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

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.

WHAT TYPE OF HOME should you

buy? This question used to be a lot easier to answer. First-time buyers would often prefer a townhome or semi. Downsizers might also like something smaller, such as a condo.

Move-up buyers quite likely would go for their “forever” home.

The answer has always depended on buyers’ situations and preferences – everything from the amount of down payment to where you work to whether you have kids.

But increasingly, people’s decisions are being influenced by factors beyond personal choice.

Government policy and the impact on prices is shaping the housing landscape like never before. Of course, most of us would love a large house on an expansive property on a quiet cul-de-sac in the best neighbourhood. But that’s looking less and less likely – at least as a first choice – for many buyers.

All of this puts increasing focus on buyers’ decision-making.

Where do you want to live?

This question is becoming more important, influenced primarily by where you work, how much of a commute you want and what your transportation options are.

Indeed, proximity to mass transit is something more and more people 50

are looking for in their new home location. It may not be as simple as choosing to live in the city, suburbs or small town.

What type of home do you want?

Single-family detached, semidetached, townhome or duplex?

While you may have a strong preference for one or the other, your realistic options might be determined by a combination of where you want to live, and, most importantly, how much you can afford. It may not be as simple as selecting the type of home you were really hoping for.

How much can you afford?

Experts agree it is never a good idea to make yourself house-poor, and it is a very common mistake, particularly of first-time buyers, to buy more home than you can really afford. Meeting with a mortgage broker or your banker will help determine your full financial picture,

assessing everything from your credit rating to how much you have saved for a down payment.

And with tougher mortgage rules recently taking effect, buyers should “stress-test” their plans – seeing how well you could cope with higher mortgage payments brought on by rising interest rates.

Some many questions, so many choices. The good news is, home builders today are in sync with customer preferences for location and amenities, and with market realities with regard to pricing and needs for energy efficiency, so your options for new-home product have never been better.

Advice | QUICK TIPS

‘Fall’ into your organizing groove

By Hellen Buttigieg

WITH THE KIDS BACK at school, fall is the perfect time to de-clutter and get your home organized before the snow hits the ground.

What’s in your freezer?

An organized freezer allows you to find and use what you have, prevents waste and saves you money. Freeze sauces, meats and berries in zipper freezer bags and use permanent marker to write the contents and date directly on the bags. Use sturdy, flat-bottomed freezer baskets to store the floppy freezer bags. Organize by category (frozen vegetables in one basket, sauces in another). Place new foods at the back of the freezer and use the oldest food first.

Store your seasonal clothing Before storing them, ensure that they have been cleaned. Even if items appear clean after wearing, body oils can cause stains that set over a few months and may attract moths.

Never store clothing in plastic bags for extended periods (even those that come from the dry-cleaners); they trap moisture and encourage mildew.

Use cotton garment bags instead.

Avoid storing clothes in cardboard boxes as acids in the cardboard can cause fabrics to yellow and the glue between the layers can attract insects.

Use lidded plastic storage containers instead. Tuck some cedar blocks or shavings inside (it’s less toxic than moth balls). Always store the clothes in a cool, dry, dark and wellventilated area.

Maximize bathroom storage space Place items you use daily within easy reach, like on the countertop, in the top drawer or in a hanging organizer in the shower area.

Store items used once or twice a week in the next most-accessible place, like the middle drawer or under the sink.

Stash items used only once or

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

twice a month in the back of the cupboard or in labeled boxes.

For shared bathrooms, avoid turf wars by giving each person their own shower tote, which can be stored in the person’s bedroom when not in use.

How do you file your paperwork?

Some experts suggest placing new paper behind previous ones (filing to the back) because it’s faster and easier to drop papers in the file that way. On the other hand, when you are looking for papers inside your files, you are more likely to need the most current ones, so you could access them faster if you filed them at the front. This just goes to show that organizing is not one size fits all; you need to find the systems that work best for you.

Top 10 Fresh Christmas Wreaths

1

WRITTEN BY: C. MARIE HEBSON

Couldn’t believe how quickly winter came to Edmonton – but with all this gorgeous sunshine, it’s hard not to think about Christmas and how we are going to spoil our families this winter. To me, going natural and fresh always says the holidays have arrived. May yours be filled with love, laughter and joy. Merry Christmas everyone!

1. WOOD SLICE Fell in love with this, I’d leave this as a decoration all year long. Change out the ribbon makes it more festive, diverting back to something more rustic for all year round.

3

2. BRUSSEL SPROUTS Love this – not a big fan of mine to eat, but makes a gorgeous wreath!

3. COFFEE FILTER Seen lots of these of late, and there are literally hundreds of takes on this. They are truly easy to make and are a gorgeous textural statement.

4. SWAG Not big on the traditional wreath, go with a swag of fresh cedar boughs and pine cones, always a winner.

5. MONOGRAM Trend of late to add your families monogram, can be traditional to contemporary – great way to add your personal touch.

6. GOLD Don’t want to have a wreath on the door? No problem, use your imagination and add a wreath to your interior decor.

Look around the house, how can you embellish an everyday item and dress it for the holidays…

7. WOOL Gorgeous, and so wonderfully textural. Natural clumps of pure wool with wool ribbon – tres chic, n’es pas?

8. HERBS Love the scent of these hanging in the house, brush by it, smells wonderful. This is Sage, Oregano, Rosemary and Bay Leaves.

9. HIGHLAND I’ve always enjoyed anything from the UK – this highland wreath is no exception.

10. IVY Always a favorite of mine, using natural moss, ivy and eucalyptus. Green on green with a gorgeous rustic hangar makes for a wonderful wreath.

Here are a few of my favorite spots to shop for decorating ideas: Martha Stewart, Realsimple.com, Dering Hall and (of course), Houzz.com.

Exorbitant duty on drywall hurts business, homebuyers: CHBA PROVISIONAL DUTIES on gypsum board

(drywall) recently announced by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) represent punitively high additional costs for business and homebuyers, according to the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA).

CBSA invoked the Special Import Measures Act on Sept. 6, making a preliminary determination of alleged dumping with respect to certain gypsum board originating from the United States to western and northern Canada. Unfortunately, the ensuing duties, effective immediately, will have far reaching detrimental effects on struggling Canadian businesses and economies, CHBA says.

“The scope of the anti-dumping investigation only considers the domestic market for drywall producers, not the impact on the rest of the industry and end-users,” says Kevin Lee, chief executive officer, CHBA. “There was not sufficient attention paid to the unintended downstream effects of this decision or the implications for the public interest.

“These extremely high duties ranging from 105.2 to 276.5 per cent, on about half of the drywall sold in western Canada, will severely affect the businesses of drywall contractors, builders and renovators, who will face losses on contracts already in place for the months ahead. At a time when our governments are seeking to avoid further housing price increases, this duty will send both house prices and affordability further in the wrong direction.”

“Supply shortages and higher costs for drywall are the last thing we need in the already vulnerable Alberta market,” adds Carol Oxtoby, a developer in Calgary. “We should be concerned that smaller companies may be forced into bankruptcy, as existing contracts may force them to fully absorb cost increases. As the Alberta economy seeks to recover, a duty that harms 76 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

businesses and damages affordability for homebuyers is a major step in the wrong direction. Worst of all, the impacts of higher prices and shortages will be felt severely in Fort McMurray, affecting the rebuild there so important after the fires.”

“You already have a high-priced housing market in Greater Vancouver and the lower mainland,” says Nathan Stone, a builder in the BC Fraser Valley.

“No one can afford further increases to construction costs. This increase will have a negative impact on new-home buyers and homeowners’ renovation projects. Many of our drywall companies are at serious risk with contracts already in place.”

Although the duty is on imports to Canada’s western provinces, this issue will also be felt across Canada.

“This is quickly becoming a national issue,” says Bob Finnigan, national president of the CHBA and a builder in Toronto. “We are already seeing ripple effects on price and warnings of supply restrictions in Ontario, as uncertainty about the supply of

drywall grows and Ontario plants potentially start to have to supplying the western markets. As we try to keep house prices contained in the GTA, increases in drywall prices and potential shortages will only make matters worse.”

The CBSA decision on this came with an immediate imposition of the duties. While the process is ongoing and final determination is still months away, the negative impacts on industry and consumers of the duty are already being felt.

“While we respect the process, suffering companies cannot wait (until January) to see the final decision on this,” says Lee. “Even if duties are reduced or eliminated in the end of the review process, or if we have to request a hearing into the public interest because the duties are upheld – the damage to industry will be done.

In the meantime, efforts to reduce house prices and protect affordability, as well as those to support the economy as it seeks to recover, are being undermined severely.”

AMBLESIDE IS one of Edmonton’s newest neighbourhoods. Located in the deep southwest beyond Anthony Henday Drive and bordered on the south by Ellerslie Road, it runs from the Whitemud Creek Valley west to 170th Street. Ambleside is part of the Windermere area plan that was set up in 2005, and its design features many paths and parks for a more walkable community.

Lifestyle This is not your typical suburban neighbourhood of blocks of singlefamily homes. Ambleside is a comprehensive community with a mix of low- to high-density residential, office and retail development. Lined with walkways between residences that lead to several picturesque parks and ponds, residents can enjoy the outdoors while still getting all their daily essentials at the nearby Currents of Windermere shopping plaza.

Vibe Ambleside is favoured by young families, thanks to its proximity

to amenities. Residents can walk, bike or jog the quiet tree-lined neighbourhood. It is designed to be a city within a city, so you won’t need to roam far to do the things you love.

However, Anthony Henday Drive does make it easy to get to the other parts of the city quickly when you venture out.

Meet the neighbours Residents are mostly young couples, and many of them have young children. According to the 2011 Statistics Canada census, 17 per cent of the population is under the age of 10. It is a new, up-and-coming neighbourhood that attracts mid-tohigh income earners looking to start their families in a safe, quiet area.

Planes, trains & automobiles Ambleside is designed for residents to have every convenience within their community, but Anthony Henday Drive allows you to easily access other areas of the city. The airport is only a few minutes away, and Terwillegar Drive and Fox Drive make

the University of Alberta a fairly close destination. Bus routes are slowly increasing as public transit catches up to the city’s southern growth.

Real estate The diversity of housing and the residents who live here is matched by the diversity of choices in what shopping is available. High-end clothing and restaurants attract those with extra disposable income, but there is also a Walmart and other less expensive options for families who may be on a tighter budget.

Greg Donnelly is a former broadcast journalist and TV producer who now does freelance writing while focusing on his main job of being a stay at home dad to his two daughters.

Millennials set on finding their perfect ‘YOLOcation,’ despite steep city home prices

MILLENNIALS ARE APPLYING the “you only live once” philosophy to their homebuying approach with nearly half of surveyed Millennials who commute (48 per cent) saying they are likely to spend more money on a home in order to live closer to work, compared to only 34 per cent of Canadians as a whole, according to a new survey from TD. Most Millennials are “sorrynotsorry” about compromising their housing hopes when it comes to purchasing a new home. For example, an overwhelming majority of those surveyed, 80 per cent, said that commute time is paramount when buying a home. With location 82 YPNEXTHOME.CA

driving their decision in increasingly expensive urban housing markets, Millennials, many of whom are first time homebuyers, may need to yield, proceed with caution and ensure they understand their complete financial picture.

“While living close to work has many benefits, purchasing a home in expensive urban cities can come at a price,” says Pat Giles, associate vicepresident, real estate secured lending at TD. “Finding your dream location means striking a balance among affordability, your non-negotiables and your financial future.”

A city’s magnet of social activities and entertainment make it a mecca

for life-loving Millennials and they are stretching their dollars to shorten commute times. According to the survey, this younger generation is unlikely to: » Move into a smaller house than they initially desired (68 per cent) » Sacrifice amenities such as convenient access to shops and services (81 per cent) » Compromise on their top choice of neighborhood (80 per cent) » Give up a primary or secondary car (89 per cent) “Of course we want it all when it comes to finding our dream home,” says Giles. “But it’s important to know

“When you decide to buy a home, it is important to make a pros and cons list and weigh them based on their importance.”

what trade-offs you’re willing to make based on what you can afford and where you are willing to live.

If an urban location is paramount, then saving for a large down payment is important. If you can accept a longer commute time, you may actually be able to afford more ‘you only live once’ moments, like vacations, over time.”

In today’s competitive housing market, TD offers the following tips to help Millennials make the right financial decisions when finding their YOLOcation without mortgaging their financial future: Goal setting: When you decide to buy a home, it is important to make a pros and cons list and weigh them based on their importance. If your goal is to own a home close to work, consider the sacrifices that may need to be made on other

desirables such as your targeted neighborhood, or owning a car.

Be sure to seek out professional financial advice as well. Talking to a mortgage specialist to get a preapproval can help you understand where you stand financially, and help you shop with confidence.

Affordability map: You no longer have to live in the urban core to enjoy the amenities of urban life.

Grocery stores, entertainment, and recreational facilities are available in the suburbs, and in good quantity.

While commuting a long distance to work each day may be less desirable to Millennials, sometimes going out of the city by 45 minutes to one hour – an average commute time for many Canadians, according to the TD survey – could mean long term savings on a home, and a stronger financial future.

Firm foundation: Take the time to build up a significant down payment. With a down payment of at least 20 per cent, buyers can also save on mortgage insurance premiums upfront. Consider setting up a savings account to regularly put aside money, which will not only help you save for your ideal home, but will also help you prepare for other costs such as lawyer’s fees and moving costs. First-time buyers should also consider contributing to an RSP and benefit from withdrawing up to $25,000 tax-free through the Canadian government’s Home Buyers’ Plan.

“Location drives real estate prices, but so do emotions,” says Giles. “Finding the right home on the right street in the right postal code is possible, especially when you get great advice to steer you in the right direction.”
