WHEN DIVORCE ROCKS THE MATRIMONIAL HOME

TARION CONFERS 2014 AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE

THE LATEST & GREATEST HOMES & CONDOS IN OTTAWA

Mahogany by Minto.

Exquisite, exciting, exclusive.

Your next home should make a clear statement about who you are, what you’ve achieved and what you value in life. Mahogany’s spacious and stately bungalows say many things about their owners. Their classic designs indicate a refined sense of style and sophistication.

Their unique location points to a love of nature and the tranquility of village life, and a desire to remain close to all the city has to offer.

Monarch first.

Before the ‘60’s changed the world.

Before the Baby Boom began. Before the Roaring ‘20’s took us dancing to the Charleston or out to the movies, Monarch was here. First. For 96 years, families have trusted Monarch for the most important investment of their lives.

So choose the one builder who has always been there for Canadian families.

And visit Monarch. First.

New home experience Make wise choices and enjoy the process

hen only a new home will do, those in the market will be pleasantly surprised by the exceptional value and attention to detail a new home offers.

When you buy new, you don’t inherit somebody else’s worn carpeting, personal taste in kitchen appliances or paint colour preferences. You get a fresh, clean space that’s waiting for your personal imprint.

If you’ve always fantasized about buying a brand new home, here are a few tips that can help you make the process a pleasant one: ›› Shop the mortgage market to see what you can afford before you start your hunt; ›› Obtain a lawyer who is willing to review your offer and close the deal; ›› Don’t be persuaded by high pressure sales tactics while you’re out shopping;

›› Determine which options and upgrades you want as part of your offer and ensure your lender will finance what’s required, if needed; ›› To save money, consider which upgrades you could purchase and install yourself after the sale closes.

Some upgrades such as rough-ins and wiring inside the walls are easier to do before construction.

Factors such as the cost of the home, neighbourhood, lot size and special features play a big role in your final decision. Determining which features your new house absolutely must have, and which features you could live without, should be among your first steps in the home-buying process.

We hope you enjoy this issue of New Home & Condo Guide. Let us know what you think!

What type of home?

When answering this question, be sure to take all factors into consideration

o each his own, as the saying goes, and when it comes to choosing what type of new home to purchase, today’s buyers have plenty of options. For some, choices are dictated primarily by budget, location or family circumstances; for others, financial freedom and where they are in life may allow them to select purely by home type.

Indeed, the answer to this question varies and depends on many factors.

One common mistake buyers – particularly first-timers – make is buying more home than they can handle.

Experts agree making yourself house-

16 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | may 3 - 17, 2014

poor is not a wise decision, and the best news is that with the variety of product available from builders today, you are sure to be able to find a new home that suits your taste and budget.

It’s also important to remember that homeowners buy and sell many times over in their lifetime, so if your first or second home isn’t quite your dream home, you can always plan to move up, downsize or adjust however you need to in your homeowning future.

And as a number of stories in this issue illustrate, builders offer excellent, award-winning homes to suit just about everyone. Get out there and explore!

Domicile Developments named Tarion 2014 Awards of Excellence finalist Location Ottawa website domicile.ca telephone 613.728.0388

D

omicile Developments has earned the distinction of being one of five finalists in Tarion’s annual Awards of Excellence for all of Ontario in the Highrise Builder category. Domicile was the only Ottawa builder to final in any category in the prestigious competition this year.

This marks the second time the exceptional builder has been recognized by Tarion’s comprehensive survey of buyers throughout Ontario – in 2011 Domicile won this award – again, the only Ottawa builder in the running. The Awards of Excellence are given only to those Ontario builders proven by the surveys to excel at customer service both before and after the deal has closed.

Tarion, the new home warranty agency for Ontario, offers one of the most comprehensive new home warranty programs in North America. Tarion’s mandate is to license builders/vendors,

ensure they abide by the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act, educate buyers, resolve disputes, investigate, promote high standards of new home construction, and to protect consumers when builders do not fulfill their obligations. So being recognized by the province-wide agency, twice, is an outstanding accomplishment.

Tarion awards are strictly based on customer feedback. Through a Tarion survey builders are rated by clients on communication with customers, ability to follow through on commitments, pre-delivery inspections, explanations of new homes’ systems, occupancy dates, overall quality of service and repairs, customer service after closing and occupancy, accessibility of builder, interim condo occupancy and completion timelines.

The owners and staff of Domicile are so willing to stand behind their product that the Tarion New Home Warranty

Domicile Developments Inc.

This marks the second time the exceptional builder has been recognized

by Tarion’s comprehensive survey of buyers throughout Ontario

isn’t the only warranty offered. Domicile is the only Ottawa builder with an Extended Warranty. No other developer goes beyond the home warranty required under law. The Extended Warranty Plan, a first, covers buyers and condominium corporations for four full years on all items covered by standard Tarion one- and two-year warranties.

Domicile’s projects are smoke-free, offer green alternatives, promote walkability, are situated in long-

established urban communities and don’t overwhelm those unique neighbourhoods.

Domicile’s latest project, in the heart of Little Italy, Nuovo, will feature Nicastro’s new fine food grocery “La Bottega Nuovo” on the ground level.

The Kavanaugh in Beechwood Village is well under construction, with dining, shopping and recreation choices.

Near Dow’s Lake sits hōm, part of Little Italy and a five-minute walk to the

gorgeous greenspace of Dow’s Lake and the Central Experimental Farm.

Bergeron Terrace in Chapel Hill/ Old Orleans is a private enclave featuring low profile terrace townhomes and urban flats.

When divorce rocks the matrimonial home » by marnie bennett

Marnie Bennett

is a broker and the marketing director for Bennett Property Shop Realty, a full premium service real estate brokerage specializing in marketing and selling new and resale homes, condominiums and investment real estate.

Marnie is the host of the weekly radio show the Real Estate Hour, a millionaire real estate investor and a wealth management coach. bennettpros.com

We’ve all heard of people who stay in an unhappy marriage for the sake of the kids. But what about staying married for the sake of the house? It may sound crazy, but many of us have deep-rooted attachments to our homes. They hold memories – some happy, others sad, but all meaningful. It can be scary to contemplate leaving the place where, more than any other, we feel we belong.

That said, few of us would advise our friends to remain in a bad marriage simply to keep their beloved house. The latest Canadian study shows that 40 per cent of first marriages end in divorce. That’s a lot of people facing the same tough decisions about what to do with the “matrimonial home,” as it’s known in the legal profession.

Some can afford to stay in the same dwelling, but sadly, many cannot. Couples may even find themselves in a custody battle of sorts, when neither partner wants to give up the family home. And then there are others who are all too eager to move out and make a fresh start.

Should you find yourself in one of these unfortunate, yet ever so common, situations, here is what you need to know. In Ontario, the Family Law Act states that the full value of the matrimonial home should be divided equally between you and your ex. It doesn’t matter whether one of you bought the home prior to your marriage, whether it was left to one of you in a will, or whether only one name is on the title. The only exception to this 50/50 split occurs when a pre-nuptial agreement exists, or when the court finds unusual circumstances that make such a split unfair.

There are many things to consider here – finances, logistics, emotional attachments and chiefly the children in these situations. Part of you may be ready to move, but you question the wisdom of uprooting your children from everything they know. In all cases, these decisions require a great deal of soul-searching as well as professional advice from your lawyer, mortgage broker and real estate agent. Remember that these situations are common and that talking to a professional is the

C16 New home & Condo guide eastern Ontario | may 3 - 17, 2014

best decision you can make for yourself and your family.

Selling the home to a third party is often the best scenario from both a financial and an emotional perspective.

(Resentment can certainly build when one partner witnesses the other still living in the family home.) By the same token, it can be difficult for divorcing partners to sit down with a real estate agent and calmly discuss matters such as the listing price and negotiating tactics.

A good agent will guide you through this process with minimal discomfort and help serve as an objective voice.

Whatever path you do choose, make every attempt to embrace this chance to have a new beginning, and a happier home.

Tarion names winners of

2014 Awards of Excellence New home builders from Eastern Ontario were front and centre as Tarion Warranty Corp. recently announced the recipients of the 2014 Tarion Awards of Excellence, the only awards in Ontario that recognize new home builders based solely on homeowners’ satisfaction with their customer service delivery.

Awards were presented to:

The Tricar Group, London - Highrise Category Fusion Homes, Guelph - Large Volume Category Klemencic Homes, Trenton - Medium Volume Category Dwyer Homes, Strathroy - Small Volume Category “A home is the largest purchase most people will make in their lifetime, and to have an attentive and responsive builder is paramount in making this experience a positive one for all those involved,” says Howard Bogach, president and CEO of Tarion Warranty Corp. “Congratulations to all recipients and finalists for being leaders in customer service.”

Fusion Homes

The Tricar Group

34

The awards are based on the results of a comprehensive survey sent to almost 46,800 Ontario homeowners who took possession of a new home between Oct. 1, 2012 and Sept. 30, 2013. More than 6,400 survey responses were received, representing 14 per cent of consumers who bought a new home in Ontario during that time. The results were tabulated by Crunch Research in partnership with Harris Decima.

Survey questions covered every stage of the homeowner-builder relationship beginning with the signing of the agreement of purchase and sale, through construction, pre-delivery inspection and after-sales service.

“It’s a recognition that the efforts that we’re going through to make sure that we have satisfied customers seem to be working,” Mark Klemencic, owner of Klemencic Homes, told New Home & Condo Guide. “And it encourages us to continue.”

Dave MacDonald, site supervisor for the company’s Belleville projects, adds: “We make ourselves available and we’re willing to listen to the customers and show them how we care about our product.”

“It just brings great satisfaction to a

Klemencic Homes

2014 Tarion Awards of Excellence Recipients and Finalists

Dwyer Homes team that’s worked so hard for the past year in servicing our customers,” says Melinda Smith, director of client services for Fusion Homes.

For London-based The Tricar Group, the award is especially gratifying. “For us it’s extremely important, since we got into a large volume of condominium builds, it was one of our main goals,” Adam Carapella, vice-president of operations, told New Home & Condo Guide. “We were nominated last year for the first time, and to be a finalist again this year and to win it means a great deal.

“It’s a team approach from all our employees,” he adds. “Two big things we always try to preach are education and communication. We develop pretty comprehensive homeowner manuals, and have a PDI that’s not just looking at efficiencies, but about learning the systems of the home, how to troubleshoot certain things.”

Since the awards are based on feedback from customers, Tricar puts special emphasis on “making sure we’re available, virtually 24-7 with any issues, and having dedicated customer service personnel,” says Carapella.

Tracy MacCharles, Minister of Consumer Services, provided the following remarks on the outstanding accomplishments in customer service: “Congratulations to the 2014 Tarion Awards of Excellence recipients.

These builders demonstrate that excellent customer service can be an asset to your business and will have a lasting effect on homebuyers.”

chart figure

example: 5%

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.
