Buying made easy

Three simple steps to success

S

hopping for a home online is a great way to narrow your search, but there’s nothing like visiting the sites, models and sales offices to get down to the nitty-gritty. Before you venture out, here are some pointers: First, be clear about what you want and expect in a new home and in your builder.

Remember, the range of prices in the new-home market generally reflects differences in location, features and home styles. There’s no magic involved.

If a builder’s pricing seems out of whack with others in the area, ask for an explanation. Higher prices could mean better quality materials, finishings, features and service. Make sure that the price you are paying will deliver the quality you want.

Second, understand exactly what is included with the home you are buying and what is optional. Ask the sales representative to show you samples, and request a “spec” sheet that clearly lists what is included, as well as any upgrade options.

Third, evaluate any promises that have been made during your visit.

Is the builder prepared to put them in writing? Hearsay comments should not be included as part of your evaluation process. Sit down with your sales representative, ask questions and discuss your Agreement of Purchase and Sale in detail – then take it to a lawyer before it’s finalized.

Getting a jump on spring

By calendar if not by temperature, this time of year signals change and opportunity

T

he cover date of this issue is March 23 – a couple weeks into Daylight Savings Time and a few days after the official start of spring – and Mother Nature has already teased us with a sign of warmer things to come.

Indeed, spring is always busy season in the housing market, and this year, despite some recent “cooling” in some areas and housing types, should be no different. Fair weather and still-favourable mortgage rates should point to the sales pace continuing in the coming weeks and months.

Need proof? Take advantage of the nicer weather and get out there and visit some new-home sales centres and model homes. A combination of factors – including land availability and affordability – is restricting supply of single-detached homes, in particular, at the moment. You may be surprised at just how quickly new lowrise developments are snapped up by homebuyers.

We’re also betting you’ll be impressed by how new-home builders in Eastern Ontario are responding to such challenges, by offering more variety of home options.

Gone are the days when the main choices were simply lowrise and highrise. Today’s buyers want variety – townhomes, semis, singles, freehold and condominium ownership – and developers are delivering in spades.

Cathedral Hill Just like your life now –

I

magine living in a landmark location, near shops and fine restaurants as well as bike paths and greenspace; stepping out your front door each day with an endless amount of possibilities before you. With Windmill Development’s new luxurious condominium, Cathedral Hill offers more than you could ever imagine.

Rising 21 storeys, the Cathedral Hill development encompasses 130 tower suites and 10 townhomes, offering an exceptionally modern and balanced urban lifestyle.

Located in a quiet and central part of Ottawa, this condo building has all the amenities you dream of: fitness centre, yoga studio, concierge service, an executive boardroom, guest suites, a dog-washing room, a bike and ski-tuning room, an electric car-charging station and so much more.

Prominently located at 428 Sparks St. overlooking the Garden of the Provinces, Cathedral Hill is within proximity to the best shopping, dining and entertainment downtown Ottawa has to offer. Only a short walk to transit stations, including a 2017 Light Rail Train station, the location provides easy access to the ByWard Market, Chinatown, Little Italy and Westboro, which means endless opportunities to explore the city.

With unparalleled views of the Ottawa river, Parliament and the Gatineau hills, Cathedral Hill promises its residents some of the best views in Ottawa. Situated on the top of a promontory and surrounded by protected federal and heritage land, the incredible views start at grade level and are visible from every condo unit. Managing partner, Jonathan

20 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | mar 23 - Apr 6, 2013

Westeinde states, “I don’t believe there is a better condo location in the city.” The incredible location is complemented by striking and sophisticated modern architecture and contemporary interior design by Andrea Kantelberg Design in Toronto.

Cathedral Hill is built with nothing but the best and highest quality finishes. With lavish nine-ft. ceilings, engineered hardwood floors and modern European kitchens, these units are built for homeowner comfort and user enjoyment. The contemporary finishes include Caesarstone countertops, integrated appliances, glass showers, soaker tubs and trough sinks. All of these elements are on display at the project’s Presentation Centre located at 440 Sparks.

When choosing materials for construction and interior finishes, Cathedral Hill offers only the highest quality and durable materials that emit little or no harmful substances.

Windmill Developments commits to reducing VOC and UF chemicals close to zero so that homeowners can enjoy healthy interiors and the best indoor air quality possible. This project promises to be one of the most healthy, environmentally friendly and sought-after condominiums in Canada.

Ten Cathedral Hill Townhomes complement the tower and offer something for everyone. From the historic Queen St. units to the exclusive East Sparks St. homes, the two and three-story luxury street-level houses are inspired by the best of urban living and designed to accommodate the perfect live-work balance. Each of the three sets of townhomes is customized for your private use including:

Beyond the family home:

The benefits of an income property

by Marnie Bennett

I love it when my clients share my passion for real estate.

Lately, I’m finding that more and more of them are expressing interest in income properties and other real estate investment opportunities. They are looking to supplement their pensions and collect passive income, or they are considering buying a new property from paper for equity income. These types of investments in real estate are one of my firm’s specialties for a good reason: I’m a firm believer that, when done responsibly, investing in real estate can pave the way to financial independence and buying real estate is a smart choice – asset class diversification and wealth creation.

I can’t lie – I get pretty excited when I’m approached about this topic.

Having worked in the Ottawa region for more than 30 years, I’ve seen it blossom into one of the country’s most promising areas for this type of investment, and as a millionaire real estate investor, I know how important it is to have a diversified portfolio. It is a fixed asset, One of the most significant you can leverage it, you differences between real estate can buy with other people’s investment and conventional money, or you can rent it, investment in stocks and bonds, flip it, refinance it or sell lies in the amount of money it for a profit. you need to begin.

Assuming you don’t have the cash to pay for an income property outright – and few of us do – you may wonder how taking on an additional mortgage can possibly make good financial sense – there is good debt and bad debt. In simple terms, there are various ways to finance your investment. You can give your current home a job and help finance this investment, your mortgage payments will be covered or C22 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | mar 23 - APR 6, 2013

substantially covered by your tenant’s rent, and there are tax advantages and other opportunities. Over the years, the mortgage will be paid off, and you’ll own a property that has increased substantially in value and you are on your way to financial freedom.

One of the most significant differences between real estate investment and conventional investment in stocks and bonds, lies in the amount of money you need to begin. To invest in $200,000 worth of stocks, you need to have $200,000 at your disposal. To purchase an investment condo for $200,000, you need only 25 per cent of that amount.

As with any investment, it’s important to be well-informed before you begin. I strongly recommend speaking with a real estate expert who understands the Ottawa real estate investment market, someone who can help you to evaluate your timing, as well as the location and type of rental property or other real estate investments that will serve you best.

The importance of transportation infrastructure

by John W. Herbert Suburban growth, land costs and fuel prices are inextricably linked and their interplay over the next two decades could be a significant factor in determining the physical form that prevails in the suburban housing market. There are many variables in considering what might happen and how, but by extrapolating recent events we can develop a general roadmap.

One simple fact is that as gasoline prices increase, commuting from the suburbs becomes more expensive. It also becomes more time consuming because municipal governments are generally spending more money on various forms of mass transportation systems and less on new roadways. Some pundits felt that this could cause a decrease in the value of suburban housing by making it less appealing but this was based on the faulty assumption that there was a choice.

The fact is that there is no choice for the vast majority of young couples with children who simply cannot afford to purchase a similar ground oriented home in the inner city.

Even in suburban locations, housing affordability and choice are rapidly disappearing in Canadian cities as governments undertake massive social engineering programs such as intensification. By restricting the supply of new suburban land the price of housing has increased dramatically and this fact has only been masked by ongoing low interest rates. In 1972, most Canadian cities were producing housing in the range of 65 per cent single-family and 35 per cent multi-family. Today that ratio has reversed where only 35 per cent of the population can afford single-family homes. Given the fact that the most affordable family oriented housing remains in the suburbs in the form of townhouses and stacked townhouses, the evidence suggests that suburban dwellers will stay put and change their transportation habits to deal with increased costs. The big question then becomes, how will their habits change?

Some of the options could involve switching to public transportation; car pooling; two-car families could trade one vehicle in for a very small fuel efficient special use commute car; purchase an electric vehicle; purchase a natural gas vehicle; commute during off peak hours. The point is that the biggest change in the future will be multiple commute solutions rather than only the personal automobile of the past. It becomes even more complicated when considering personal lifestyles because there may be several days a week when an individual won’t need an automobile during the day and could use a public system and other days could drive their car to run errands along the way.

The primary benefit of multiple transportation solutions is a more efficient use of existing transportation infrastructure. The use of fewer and smaller cars combined with better busing spread over a longer morning and afternoon peak rush period will allow the existing network to perform adequately for a longer period of time without new capital investments. The major risk in this scenario is that government and residents alike will become accustomed to relatively low tax increases that do not include funding for new roadway construction while disproportionately high development charges are levied against new homebuyers to try and make up the difference.

C30 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | mar 23 - APR 6, 2013

John W. Herbert is executive director of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association. He can be reached at 613.723.2926, ext. 224, or visit gohba.ca

Whether they are widenings or new roadways, construction involves many years of lead time to acquire the rightof-ways, undertake environmental assessments, produce the engineering drawings, tender the work finally build the project. If elected officials allow themselves to be manipulated by special interest groups into delaying necessary roadway construction it will have a serious negative impact on Ottawa’s ability to compete nationally and internationally in the economic development sphere.

The best possible solution to the suburban/transportation dilemma is to tackle the root cause of the problem and eliminate the need to commute.

Historically Canada’s zoning practices have separated the workplaces from the living places. This made sense in past centuries when heavy industry was pumping out noxious fumes of every type but it makes little sense today, especially in Ottawa’s white collar world.

If we look at the Kanata North Business Park as an example, there is no reason why office, residential and all other ancillary uses such as schools cannot be horizontally integrated in future.

Vertical integration described as mixed use is being promoted in the inner city area but this is not a realistic solut ion for you ng fa m i l ies.

Transportation infrastructure of every type represents one of the biggest expenses we face in the medium and long term future and one meaningful solution is the horizontal integration of all land uses and a complete rethink of historical zoning practices.

howtofindahome

Making a move? how to find your hot spot Location is a critical factor. a home that is everything

you need but in the wrong location is probably not the right home for you.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. suggests some things to consider about location: ›› D o you want to live in a city, a town or in the countryside? ›› H ow easy will it be to get to where you work?

How much will the commuting cost? ›› W here will your children go to school? How will they get there? ›› D o you need a safe walking area, or recreational facility, such as a park, nearby? ›› H ow close would you like to be to family and friends? ›› H ow important is sustainability to you?

A “sustainable” neighbourhood is one that meets your needs while protecting the environment. Homes in a sustainable neighbourhood are located near shops, schools, recreation, work and other daily destinations. This helps reduce driving 26 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | mar 23 - Apr 6, 2013

costs and lets residents enjoy the health benefits of walking and cycling.

Land and services, like roads, are used efficiently. Sustainable neighbourhoods also feature a choice of homes that are affordable.

In your search for a sustainable neighbourhood, here are some questions to ask: Easy transportation ›› A re stores, schools, recreation facilities, restaurants, and health services within walking or cycling distance? ›› Will your children need to take a bus to school? Can they walk to the park? Can you do most of your shopping without a car? ›› A re there nearby bus stops and cycling lanes? How long is the bus ride to work or school? Can you safely ride your bike there?

Size of home and features ›› A re the homes compact with shared walls to reduce heating costs? ›› A re homes reasonably sized with lots that require minimal upkeep? ›› A re there different dwelling types (such as single-detached, semidetached, townhouse and condominiums) in the neighbourhood? ›› A re the lots modestly sized? Roadways narrow? Driveways/parking areas small? ›› Do natural drain ways lead to streams and storm-water ponds or park lands? Is there native vegetation and streams with woodland edges?

A “sustainable” neighbourhood is one that meets your needs while protecting the environment. Homes in a sustainable neighbourhood are located near shops, schools, recreation, work and other daily destinations.

Look and feel ›› Do the buildings have a friendly face to the street? Are the community centres, shops and meeting places welcoming? ›› A re there trees lining the street? ›› Do you find the homes interesting to look at? ›› Do the building sizes feel comfortable to you? ›› A re the roads easy to walk along or cross?

Safety ›› Do the homes have “eyes on the street”? (In other words, are there people around who might watch out for you? Is there somewhere to go in an emergency?) ›› Is there adequate street lighting? ›› A re there safe places for children to play? ›› A re the streets safe for cyclists and pedestrians? ›› Is traffic slow moving and light?

The Bank of Canada again held its trendsetting bank rate at one per cent on March 6. RBC anticipates the BoC will leave the rate unchanged through 2013 and gradually begin to increase it in early 2014. At the same time, the Canadian economy is expected to be on stronger footing, offsetting any negative effects that might materialize in the housing market from a slow and steady rise in interest rates, says RBC.

EnerQuality announces

2012 Awards of Excellence winners The Minto Group recently netted two prestige

awards from the 2012 EnerQuality Awards of Excellence program. The Ottawa and Toronto-based firm was named 2012 Leader of the Year recognizing its outstanding leadership in building high-performance, sustainable new housing. The company was also honoured as the 2012 Ontario Green Builder of the Year, a coveted award sponsored by the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) that recognizes one outstanding home builder for its leadership in improving the environmental, energy efficiency, and overall technical image of the industry.

With many innovative firsts, Minto seeks ways to lower the environmental impact of its land development, construction and building operations while fostering green cultural changes with their customers and residents through social media and Green committees. Employees are also engaged through Minto’s Green Champion program and its internal Green website. Minto has won this award four times in the past five years (2012, 2011, 2010 and 2008.)

Empire Communities was honoured with the Building Innovation and Excellence award, which recognizes a builder that has demonstrated a high level of technical excellence in the implementation of innovative and high performance building practices.

Two firms were presented with EnerQuality’s Energy Star for New Homes Builder of the Year awards: Eastforest Homes (large volume builder) and Doug Tarry Homes (small volume builder).

Both companies were recognized for their corporate commitment to energy efficiency by integrating labeling of their homes under the Energy Star for New Homes program and successfully leveraging the program to support their corporate image as a leading edge builder. In addition, EnerQuality’s Energy Star for New Homes Champion of the Year was awarded to Gary Botelho, to recognize his initiative, strong support and promotion of the Energy Star for New Homes program. This is the second consecutive year Gary has been awarded this honour.

Commitment, leadership, advocacy and innovation were all recognized in award categories that included Industry Partner of the Year, which went to Owens Corning Canada; and Evaluator of the Year, presented to John Harris. The Hall of Fame Award honoured Stephen Dupuis, former President and CEO of the Building Indust r y a nd L a nd Development Association (BILD) who died unexpectedly in 2011. Stephen was a consummate professional and worked tirelessly on behalf of the residential construction industry and BI L D. A pr ol i f ic a n d e f fe c t i v e communicator, Stephen was dedicated to ensuring Ontarians continue to be among the best-housed people in the world and as such he was a strong supporter of EnerQuality and encouraged BILD members to embrace sustainable and energy efficient building.

“All 2012 winners represent some of the remarkable leaders and innovators in our industry who are committed to ensuring Ontario moves forward and leads the way in energy efficient, environmentallyfriendly building,” says EnerQuality President Corey McBurney.

Calculate your mortgage payments interest rate

amortization period

chart figure

example: 5%

25 years

5.82

mortgage amount ÷ 1,000 (mortgage amount $125,000)

125

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home

01

05

Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000.

02

06

Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

03

07

Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04

Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice.

(Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less.

Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
