//EDITOR’S NOTE

Moving made easy Due diligence a must with this part of the homebuying

W

hether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your first place out of your parents’ home, moving can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax. You can eliminate all of the anxiety associated with moving by taking control of the situation with confidence.

If you decide to move yourself, book a moving truck well in advance from a reliable company that can help with some tips on moving as well as advice regarding the size of vehicle you will need.

If you decide to go with a pro, ask your friends and family to recommend a mover. Call at least three companies to ask about their services and then decide.

Professional movers can do everything for you if you wish, from packing and unpacking, to disconnecting appliances and electronics, but of course there’s extra cost involved.

Make sure you understand the terms of your agreement no matter what you decide, as well as any additional costs such as insurance and mileage fees, so you can budget accordingly.

Happy moving!

Housing valuations Who and what to believe when it comes to this important information?

or homeowners, when someone says your home is drastically overvalued, naturally, you worry. If you’re a prospective homebuyer, such news might cause you to delay your purchase.

The problem is – who and what to believe? One source is saying Canada’s housing is overvalued by 60 per cent, another says by 30 per cent, and another still saying that it’s all just right.

“Far too many foreign economists try to make overly simplified statements about foreign housing markets they don’t understand enough about,” Calum Ross, mortgage broker and real estate investor in Toronto, told New Home Guide.

“Canada is home to a very diverse group of people with local economics that are vastly different,” Ross says.

“Saying there is a Canadian housing

14 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | MAY 16 - 30, 2015

market is no less ridiculous than saying there is ‘Canadian temperature.’”

Thankfully, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. added some context recently in its House Price Analysis and Assessment, which provided a marketby-market snapshot by Canada’s larger centres. The report attached a risk level – low, moderate or high – for the major cities, using risk factors of overheating, acceleration in house prices, overvaluation and overbuilding.

With Regina and Winnipeg, of all places, the only major centres earning “high risk” assessments, CMHC’s report reminds us that housing markets must be assessed on a micro level. Canada’s most expensive market, Vancouver, earned a “low risk,” while Toronto, often mentioned in conversations about overvaluation, was ranked as “moderate risk.”

OTTAWA’S NEW ‘IT’ ADDRESS

The Slater is a brand new residential project offering 178 private condominium suites and penthouses. The project will also house a new and hip boutique hotel. Understated and elegant, The Slater’s graphic black and white exterior and aesthetic clean lines are a contemporary interpretation of classic modernist architecture.

The Slater offers residents the opportunity to live, work and play right in their own back yard. Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, in the thriving Business District, and just a few blocks f ro m t he P ar liame n tar y Pr e cin ct an d Par liame n t H ill, T h e Slater is also within short walking distance of great shopping destinations, including the Rideau Centre and Ottawa’s renowned ByWard Market. The project is close to a myriad of restaurants and entertainment venues as well as vast green spaces including Confederation Park and the picturesque Rideau Canal. The project is also conveniently close to public transportation services .

199 Slater St. in the Central Business District, The Slater is Ottawa’s new ‘it’ address. The project was inspired in response to the ever-growing population in the downtown core. Now, what was once a purely 9-to-5 area of town,

magine waking up each morning in a luxurious suite offering panoramic views of the city, stepping out your front door and walking only a few blocks to work, and having every convenience at your fingertips. With The Slater, your dreams are now a reality!

Broccolini, is proud to offer the only new condo development located directly in Ottawa’s downtown core: The Slater. The Slater is one of the City’s most talked about residential developments and construction of the project is well underway. In fact, the main structure is now complete.

The Slater is the ideal choice for young and trendy professionals who want to live in the heart of it all. Located at

Ottawa’s Business District will flourish even more with this magnificent new addition. The Slater will help steer the neighbourhood in a new and welcome direction, bringing life and vitality to this prime real estate location.

Construction of The Slater will be complemented by the metamorphosis of Slater Street itself. With the future Confederation Line light rail station to be built just one block away, plans are in the works to eliminate the current Transitway and transform the busy thoroughfare into a pedestrian-friendly street, with wide, thoughtfully landscaped walkways.

In terms of design for The Slater, the builder, Broccolini Construction sought to create more than just a pleasant addition to the cityscape. They envisaged a striking visual anchor befitting the project’s social importance for the neighbourhood. The resulting luxurious 23-storey high-rise is an elegant interpretation of mid-century modernist architecture. The graphic

BROCCOLINI | The Slater

UNIT C7’ - 706 SQ. FT. ACTUAL USEABLE FLOOR SPACE MAY VARY FROM THE STATED FLOOR AREA

black and white structure is classically chic, yet bold and commanding.

The Slater’s suites deliver a fresh urban living experience for those in search of a modern and stylish place to call home. Condominium suites range in size from smart studios to spacious penthouses on two floors offering views over Parliament Hill and the Gatineaus.

The Slater will also offer residents access to a host of glamorously appointed amenities including a Club Lounge with a stunning private dining room, a screening room, a fitness centre, and an impressive outdoor terrace featuring a hot tub.

In addition to the residential component, The Slater tower will also house a new 17-floor boutique hotel, Alt Hotel by Le Groupe Germain. Le Groupe Germain is quickly becoming one of Canada’s top names in luxury and hip hotels.

Although the hotel and private residences will have separate entrances, the trendy ALT identity and the well-established name of Le Groupe Germain will complement and elevate The Slater’s contemporary style and serve to increase the project’s popularity.

Starting as low as $215,000, it has never been so easy or so affordable to purchase a new luxury home in the heart of Ottawa’s Business District. Come and experience these magnificent contemporary-chic condos for yourself. You will be impressed by the spacious, open-concept living space, the stylish modern kitchens, the sleek wood flooring, and the abundance of natural light.

For a limited time only, in celebration of the structure reaching its peak, The Slater is offering five per cent down and up to $25,000 off !

For more information about The Slater and this great limited time promotion, visit the website at theslater.ca, or call the presentation centre today.

THE CUSTOM HOME: Thinking outside the box » 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

As a broker, I pride myself on finding the right home for the right client.

But, on occasion, a client comes along whose demands are so specific and uncompromising that a custom home is the only way to satisfy them.

When most of us hear the term “custom home,” we think of a home that has been designed specifically for the buyer from the ground up. Custombuilt homes tend to be associated with luxury – and, truthfully, the buyer who can afford to design and build a dream home probably has fairly deep pockets.

It’s important to recognize that, among builders who market themselves as custom builders, there may be great contrast. Some provide the client with a limited number of home plans to use as a framework, to which the client can request any number of alterations.

Others employ an architect or designer who will work with you to draw up plans from scratch, strictly according to your wishes. These professionals generally provide valuable input about layouts and building materials.

There are obvious advantages to purchasing a custom home: you get exactly the home you want, on exactly the plot of land you want. Your home will be one-of-a-kind, the perfect expression of your personal taste.

24 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | MAY 16 - 30, 2015

On the “con” side, you can expect to pay more than you would for a typical new home, and the planning stages will certainly require more of your time.

Because you’ll be spending far more time in discussions with your builder’s team, it’s extremely important to choose a builder whom you like and respect. In your initial discussions, be sure that you feel you’re being listened to; the last thing you want is to feel pressured into making certain decisions. A good custom builder will do everything in his or her power to realize your vision; and if certain aspects of that vision are unrealistic or beyond your budget, they will take the time to explain these limitations and present you with appealing alternatives.

A custom-built home is the kind of investment – of both time and money – that should be made only when you’re planning to live in a house for years to come. But then, if you find yourself in the fortunate situation of being able to build your dream home, why would you ever want to leave?

Builders give Ontario budget 1.5 thumbs up » by WAYNE KARL

Home builders in Ontario have given the 2015 provincial budget the thumbs up – citing infrastructure investment that is ultimately good news for homebuyers.

In the Ontario budget released on April 23, the province committed to the largest public infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history – more than $130 billion over 10 years.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

» $31.5 billion over 10 years for Moving Ontario Forward – about $16 billion in transit projects in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and about $15 billion in transportation and other priority infrastructure projects outside the GTHA. » $11.9 billion in 2015-16 on infrastructure, such as roads, public transit, water systems, hospitals and schools.

Along with reducing gridlock, new transit projects should support the province’s investment-ready communities initiative and the creation of new housing and employment centres, says the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA).

“People need better transit options,” says OHBA president Vince Molinaro.

“The province’s massive transit

28 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | MAY 16 - 30, 2015

investment should support the creation of transit-supported communities across Ontario. Building complete communities along those transit lines makes sense and will provide new housing and employment options, and choice where people can live, work and play.”

The next step is for municipalities to support this provincial investment by creating land-use plans that generate the ridership necessary to support long-term operations for transit infrastructure, OHBA says. In the past, the association has recommended provincial funding be directly linked to a municipal requirement to immediately update the land-use planning and zoning in those transit corridors. The province must ensure that there are strong municipal requirements to align all transit investment with land-use planning by requiring appropriate density zoning along those corridors.

“The provincial investment in transit is a golden opportunity for municipalities to create investment-ready communities,” says Molinaro. “In the past, municipalities have failed to do that work, leaving developers and builders to fight for appropriate intensification in those transit corridors. It doesn’t have to be this way; municipalities must modernize zoning and create transit-supported communities to fully maximize the provincial transit investment announced in today’s budget.”

It’s a good budget, but not quite deserving of two full thumbs up.

OHBA CEO Joe Vaccaro points out that certain tax credits need to be adjusted to reflect rising home values – in particular, the 2009 HST New Housing Rebate.

“The current provincial threshold is $400,000, but with the cost escalation in new neighbour taxes and housing prices, the threshold should be adjusted every five years to support housing affordability for new-home buyers.”

It’s one of the most popular summer-fun to-dos for kids – hosting a lemonade stand! And, on Saturday, June 6th, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is sparking a lemonade stand movement and hosting the 3rd annual Cardel Homes Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium presented by Palladium Insurance.

Sarah Bickford and her three kids – Olivia (11), Gwen (9) and Elliot (5) – have already begun to recruit their team members for the Lemon Bursts stand. This year they are going bigger than ever, enlisting the help of 12 families and involving more than 27 kids.

They will all be volunteering at multiple stands in their Nepean neighbourhood and out front of Fresco’s on Elgin Street.

“I know how hard the struggle with cancer is,” explains Sarah, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2007 when her youngest child was just 18 months old at the time.

“As a family we wanted to do something to give back – and this is something that we could all do together. It’s really great and the kids love it, and the response they we get is so incredible. People are so generous.”

Over the last two years of the campaign, more than 600 kids have hosted hundreds of stands and helped to raise close to $120,000 in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

PROCEEDS BENEFIT

Remy, Aris, Jivan

Thank you to our generous sponsors

Team Ronick/Team Kang has been one of the top fundraising stands each year, led by 10-year-old Ronick Kang his little sister Maeya.

They host their stand in honour of their grandma, Balwinder, who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago.

“I was really sad and I wanted to help her,” explains Ronick.

“I found out about the campaign online and it just grew from there.”

Ronick says the key to his success is finding the right stand location – one with a lot of foot traffic.

This year their stand will once again be located close to the Starbucks, near the corner of Terry Fox Drive.

Ronick and Maeya have ambitious plans for their stand – and have already got their parents and aunts on board the project.

“We are going to paint homemade signs, have music at our stand and bake chocolate chip cookies to sell too!”

//DESIGNER ADVICE

STYLE FOR

all seasons » by YANIC SIMARD

With Canada’s long winters (and come-and-go springtime), it can be hard to invest in your balcony or patio, knowing you may not be able to enjoy your outdoor accoutrements for long. To help you get the most of your exterior environment with a clear conscience, here are some furniture ideas you can start using right away and enjoy all year round.

FOLDING’S IN

GO FOR THE GOLD

» While the idea of a “folding table” might make you think of a college dorm, sleek modern folding furniture carries a European air – especially lines like the Parisian-styled Arc En Ciel collection (French for “rainbow”). In crisp silvery aluminum, these tables and matching park chairs can be stored in a slim niche (like the narrow cabinet next to your refrigerator) and pulled out at any time, whether that be a sunny summer day or a winter cocktail party. » Folding chairs can also be a great opportunity to introduce a daring accent colour. Try a bold red, bright yellow or striking black – the airy form of most folding seats means the dose of colour will be minor, even when supersaturated.

» The trend of gold and copper tones for interior furnishings is rapidly growing – so much so, it’s expanded into the outdoors as well. Mid-century modern seats are timeless addition to any interior, and with an emphasis on simple forms in bent metal, many styles can work outdoors just as well as in, adding a sophisticated hint of luxe glamour. » The classic Walter Lamb armchair (originally designed in the 1940s) in waterproof brass is a perfect choice for those who want to go glam with a light touch. Brass carries the warmth of gold, but typically in a more toned-tone hue, and combined with a rope seat, the result is a perfect nautical accent that can make your balcony feel like the deck of a private yacht.

In off-season: Use it for games night, or in a compact dining nook

In off-season: Pair gold with a deep grey sofa, or use it to add drama in the bedroom.

30 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | MAY 16 - 30, 2015

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

» It’s hard to remember a time before wireless electronics, and once you pick up a rechargeable lantern you’ll wonder how you lived without that too. A perfect way to add a soft glow to your bedroom (or anywhere, really) during grey winter days, a wireless light with no batteries to change will revolutionize how you enjoy nights on the patio. » If you do have access to an outlet outdoors, a weather-ready floor lamp redefines an outdoor space in an unexpected way, making it feel that much more like part of your home. Just be sure to anchor it back to a wall, or move it indoors during wild wind. » Wire-cage lanterns are another sophisticated way to add an inviting glow that feels as appropriate on the patio as it does on your dining table (or vanity). Find one in my Yanic Simard Selected collection (YSSelected.com), as well as bronze and golden tealight holders for an extra-radiant glow.

In off-season: Fill in a dark corner with an extra layer of light for fewer harsh shadows.

Bronze Rose Tea Light Holder

Wire Husk Lantern

STOCK UP ON STOOLS

» Playful plastic stools are a multifunctional must-have, and move between inside and outside effortlessly. They make a quick seat or cocktail table, and are another excellent way to add colour and texture to contrast both your soft interior fabrics and your solid patio surfaces. » Grouped together in clusters, stools are an excellent coffee table alternative, gathered together to hold a spread of summery dishes or broken up to hold extra guests – plus, if you have to steal one away for another room, you won’t leave a hole in your plan.

In off-season: Use as a compact bathroom accent, at the foot of the bed, or tucked up to a chair.

ALL-SEASON ACCENTS

» Don’t forget the little things that make patio living the thing we crave all winter long – most of which, to be honest, tend to revolve around delicious outdoor dining! Striking tableware effortlessly dresses up even the simplest space. Try upgrading to an eye-catching black, gold, or brass cutlery set. » Between paper plates and your traditional stark whites, you’ll find sophisticated outdoor dinnerware that brings a gardenparty atmosphere to even a compact balcony. Choose an earthy, hand-crafted plate in a loose, imperfect shape and fun colour (or sumptuous deep gray), and punch up anything from homemade barbecue to Sunday afternoon take-out.

In off-season: Mix and match your new finds with everyday basics for fun looks that change with the seasons.

QUINN’S POINTE This place feels right

THE OKANAGAN

M

into has been developing Chapman Mills in Barrhaven for the past 20 years, and now, after more than 5,000 homes built, it’s time for something new: Quinn’s Pointe. Named after one of the original farming families in the area, Quinn’s Pointe is an exciting new addition to the already hugely popular area.

Barrhaven is one of the country’s fastest growing communities and for good reason. It’s a vibrant neighbourhood that has risen up to fit the needs of first-time homebuyers, growing families and down-sizers alike.

A NEW LIFESTYLE:

THE GEORGIAN

Located at Greenbank Rd. and Kilbirnie Dr., Quinn’s Pointe is a new development in a thriving and established community. A drive along nearby Strandherd Dr. reveals a bustling centre of commerce and activity, where young couples, growing families and seniors access all the conveniences of contemporary living. From a host of options for dining out, to entertainment, fashion retail, large grocery stores and professional services, Quinn’s Pointe combines lifestyle convenience with comfort and tranquility.

An ideal setting for family living, Quinn’s Pointe will have an elementary school as part of the first phase. Children can safely walk to school, bike to local parks and play hockey with their neighbourhood friends. Nature trails, splash pads and parks are all within walking distance. As well, the Barrhaven Marketplace is only minutes away, providing quick access to major shopping destinations. The Minto Recreation Centre is also located around the corner, giving families access to great services such as swimming lessons, a fitness centre and a skating rink SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH SPACE TO GROW:

Minto is excited to announce three new single-family models with designs based on customer feedback. Available exclusively in Quinn’s Pointe, these homes range from 32

MINTO | Quinn’s Pointe THE JEFFERSON

1,441 to 3,300 sq. ft. These great models will be released in other Minto communities in the near future.

The Jefferson is the ideal starter home, located on a 30-ft. corner lot with four bedrooms and 1,744 sq. ft., a double car garage and many great standard features.

The Georgian is on a 36-ft. lot, with a spacious 2,300 sq. ft. of living space, four bedrooms, double car garage ideal for families looking for room to grow.

Lastly, the Okanagan is the largest model, on a 43-ft. lot, at 3,300 sq. ft., with four- and five-bedroom options, and an expansive living space. With a more traditional layout, the Okanagan features a formal dining room, living room, den, circular staircase and nine-ft. ceilings on the main level.

NEW EXECUTIVE TOWNHOMES:

Minto has also released a new line of executive townhomes exclusive to Quinn’s Pointe. With open-concept living spaces, kitchen islands, nine-ft. ceilings, and the option of three, four or even five bedrooms, these townhomes are built like spacious single-family homes. Buyers will appreciate the large foyer, mudroom and finished basements. Minto is breaking the mould with the release of these impressive models.

With single-family homes starting from the $330’s and townhomes starting from the $240’s, you can easily find your new home in Quinn’s Pointe!

Giving your windows the designer treatment » by JANE LOCKHART » Rooms designed by Jane Lockhart, Jane Lockhart, B.A.A.I.D, intern ARIDO, Principal Designer, Jane Lockhart Interior Design (janelockhart.com) 34 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | MAY 16 - 30, 2015

When moving into a new space, sometimes, the window treatments are often an afterthought as new homeowners struggle to put their own personal stamp in their new home.

Window treatments are important as they are like the finishing jewelry for an outfit, but for the home. They are not only necessary, but add character as well.

Window treatments go so far beyond personal style, they have a job to do as well. A good window treatment will complement the new space without looking like they are working too hard.

This can be achieved by first determining what functions the window coverings should perform.

A window covering is seldom just for show. Most people are looking for privacy, light control or to manage temperature. In a new space, it is important to first determine what “job” the window treatment needs to do. This will make it much easier to select the best type for the new space. There are two types of window treatments, operable and fixed. Operable means that the homeowner is able to operate them or move them, and fixed are non-moving.

Once a homeowner has moved into their new space and is able to identify what their window coverings should be doing, it is then time to identify style.

Layering is a fabulous option for both style and purpose. Many people will select blinds, as they offer many solutions, and then add fixed drapery panels for decoration. Layering of window coverings is the best way to complete a window as it adds function and a personal feel. These are all important factors in a new home.

Blinds can be a great alternative, because they perform a function, but also come in so many different styles and colours. Blinds can also be rolled away completely or tilted to allow some lighting. If new-home owners don’t like the vertical strip, so synonymous of the blinds, and don’t want it to dominate their design, there are other options. If looking for warmth, look for a horizontal slat such as a wood or a fabric version

Photography, Gillian Jackson (gillianjackson.ca) courtesy Kylemore space. Views are great, but can be distracting especially at night when windows can act like a big black mirror.

If, as a new homeowner, darkness for sleeping is a concern, add blinds for daytime light and privacy management and drapes for night time as these black out light the best.

Whether for a new home or condo, don’t let the window treatments be an afterthought! When done right, they will let homeowners inject their own personality into the home while managing light, heat and privacy.

called silhouette by Hunter Douglas (hunterdouglas.ca), which means they are all fabric and all sewn together. Most of the fabric is sheer except for one strip, which operates as the slat would on traditional blinds. Other options include solar screens if homeowners are looking to control the UV, or roller blinds for minimal light penetration. A roman blind is another great option to add definition to window treatments. This option can be suspended completely, covering the entire window or a portion of the window.

Roman blinds can also be completely pulled up, creating a decorative ruching effect at the top of the window.

When new-home owners are shopping for window treatments, it is important to know the difference between a shutter and a blind. Shutters cover the whole window and can be considered an all-in-one window covering so no additional drapery will be required. Shutters will reduce the amount of light generally entering a space. A blind is lighter and can be rolled away to show an open window but can be more delicate in moist areas.

New condos have completely different needs in terms of window treatments versus a single family home. In a condo, blinds are important for managing solar heat. In addition, they also can be used for helping to maintain the interior focus within the

CALCULATE YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS INTEREST RATE

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.
