EDITOR’S NOTE

STAY HOPEFUL OTTAWA MILLENNIALS

WAYNE KARL MANAGING EDITOR NextHome EMAIL: Wayne.Karl@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @WayneKarl

There’s been no shortage of media coverage recently about Millennials and the housing market.

To summarize, they’re a large and important part of the homebuying future, without whom, and if they’re purchasing dreams aren’t alive and well, things might look worrisome. Homebuying – and building, before that – is a key driver of the economy, not to mention a milestone lifestyle goal for many young Canadians.

But with rising prices, limited supply and now interest rates that are inching up, some are feeling the heat.

And while prospective homebuyers in Ottawa do face these issues, would-be purchasers here have reason to be optimistic.

Chief among them is affordability. Economic growth in Ontario continues to perform close to the national average of two per cent, with the job market on solid ground and the unemployment rate declining. In Ottawa, home prices remain within reach for Millennials, with price growth at healthy but still reasonable levels.

If you need a stark reminder of how serious a challenge affordability is in other markets, see average home prices in Vancouver and Toronto.

Stay hopeful, Millennials in Ottawa. Your homebuying window remains open.

WHAT IF YOU WANT YOUR KITCHEN TO BE A MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE? AMY DILLON, A PRINCIPAL DESIGNER AT AYA KITCHENS, SHARES HER EXPERT TIPS ON HOW TO CREATE A SEAMLESS, BLENDED SPACE IN THE HEART OF THE HOME DID YOU

KNOW?

by SARA DUCK

AyA means ‘DESIGN’ in Japanese!

AyA Kitchens used one cabinet door style and colour throughout the room to tie together the kitchen and the desk/pantry/bar area.

Using one countertop design and carrying it up on the backsplash made the space flow and gave it an open feel.

Countertop height cabinets were chosen for the desk area, equipped with a stool. This allows the space to double as a bar or serving area for when the homeowner entertains.

One side of the desk has storage for files and the other contains a large pull-out for liquor. The addition of glass cabinets above the bar area, with mirrored backs, lighting and glass shelves, adds to the bar feel while still being pretty and simple for an area that functions as a desk on most days.

Tall cabinets flank either side of the desk to make it feel more like a built-in unit, while doubling as pantry storage for the kitchen.

A small appliance garage is tucked in the corner beside the fridge, offering a great spot to store your coffee maker, blender or kettle. Plus, it blends right in with the rest of the space.

Designer Jo Alcorn lets her creative juices flow as she dreams up a California inspired small patio space 18 NextHome.ca

PRIVACY When dealing with a balcony in the city, privacy is always an issue. I created a modern free-standing privacy fence with one-by-six-ft. wood planks bought from Lowe’s (lowes.ca). I installed the boards horizontal to save on wood but to also create a more urban, modern look which is a continuation from the inside the home. An oversized umbrella not only provides shade and comfort, it also blocks the view of the neighbours above.

COLOUR CODE In small spaces, try to stay away from adding to many different colours with decor items. Keeping a simple colour palette can give the illusion of a larger area! For this space, I added a touch of pink with the indoor/ outdoor pillows from my Alcorn Home collection (alcornhome.com).

GREENERY

PHOTO: JASON HARTOG

Canadian summers are short, so that means you want to maximize every minute the warm months offer. For this patio space, I took inspiration from California and transformed it into an LA style getaway but in the middle of Toronto! Do you have a small patio that could use a little TLC? Read on to discover design tips that will help you get started.

Adding planters of different heights to any balcony helps keep the space interesting.

Choose low-maintenance plants so you aren’t fussing with them all summer long. I mixed faux and real greenery for easy care.

ENTERTAININGFRIENDLY A bar cart not only looks great in a space, it’s also a must for those summer parties. This one from HomeSense blends in so well with the rest of the decor.

SEATING Size matters, especially in a small space. When it came to selecting seating, I chose a small, grey-tan profile L-shaped sofa from HomeSense (homesense.ca) with a lower back (so that it didn’t close in the space). Side chairs and floor pillows also provide extra seating for guests.

Jo Alcorn is a design specialist and designer on HGTV’s Home to Win, out this spring.

She has her own furniture collection, signature pillow and dog bed line, and is known for her savvy design concepts. Visit Jo at whitewashco.ca JUN 23-JUL 7, 2018 19

PROPERTY PROFILE

THE TRAIL SERIES BY CAMPANALE HOMES AFFORDABLE QUALITY LIVING, ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES

Welcome to the Town of Arnprior, the hidden gem of Southern Ontario in the County of Renfrew.

In Arnprior, you will find quaint country living in the peace and beauty of a small town. In Arnprior, you will find the best place to live, work and play. You will find an affordable place to settle your family, where the hustle and bustle of downtown living will be nothing but a distant memory. And now, in Arnprior, you will find Campanale 20 NextHome.ca

Homes’ latest release: The Trail Series of affordable, contemporary homes, located in the community of Callahan Estates.

From the same trusted builders who have brought exceptional value and traditional craftsmanship to homes across the National Capital Region for nearly 40 years, Campanale Homes is proud to introduce the brand new release known as the Trail Series.

Comprised of attached bungalows

and townhomes, this newest phase of well-appointed homes are bound to meet each and every homebuyers’ needs.

Located less than 30 minutes outside of Ottawa, the town of Arnprior is known for its charm and leisurely way of life. Whether you are looking to settle down with your new family or retire in rural bliss, Arnprior is the perfect spot for you. And residents know that this community, located

where the two rivers, Madawaska and the Ottawa, meet, is now a better place to live than ever.

Having recently completed a two-year, multi-million-dollar revitalization project of downtown, Arnprior boasts the perfect mix of modern amenities and oldfashioned charm.

The Trail Series in the town of Arnprior has the perfect home for you at prices that cannot be ignored. Imagine living in your dream home, a brand new two- to three-bedroom townhome, starting at just $261,300! Or picture a brand new two-bedroom, two-bath attached bungalow from only $282,860! Choose from a variety of floorplans, all designed for your style and comfort.

“Many buyers on their search to purchase a new home have been discouraged by the lack of supply and steadily increasing purchase prices for attached homes in the Ottawa Region,” says Santana Campanale, director of sales. “We

have launched the Trail Series to the Arnprior market to suit the needs of those buyers looking for a home built with tremendous value at an affordable price point.”

And with the Trail Series, extras come standard. Like a townhome with extra-large driveways that can fit two cars outside and one in the garage. And homes that are 10 per cent above the building code as well as energy efficient – meaning that you will save on your monthly utility bill while reducing your environmental footprint.

“It is also important to note that as lending regulations tighten, some buyers have lost purchasing power as they have been slotted into a lower price point and, as a result, have had to sacrifice on their preferred size of home, bedrooms and so forth,” continues Santana Campanale. “This is one of the main reasons we released the Trail Series, as it is made to suit all types of buyers in terms of size, design and location.”

The Trail Series is currently

under construction with occupancy starting in the fall of 2018. Availability is limited, so be sure to jump on the chance to make one of these stellar homes yours before it is too late. Also available in very limited release, the Visionary Series of move-inready single bungalows. Only seven units remain in this series that boasts a choice of gorgeous walk-outs or look-out lots, starting at just $339,900.

It is time to invest in quality with the standard of a Campanale home. It is time to invest in your home and save your money. No longer must you sacrifice quality for price. The affordability of a Campanale home, combined with signature style, design and reputation, means that you can invest confidently knowing that Campanale is your key to quality.

CLOSING TIME

THE JOY OF SEALING THE DEAL

MARNIE BENNETT I’ve never thought the term “closing” did justice to that incredible day when buyers finally take possession of their new home. It’s the culmination of months of planning and waiting, and your excitement will be practically at a fever pitch.

Considering this is the day you’re handed the key to your front door, “opening” seems a more appropriate word for it.

Of course, the term actually refers to “closing the deal.”

Technically, it’s the process whereby the title of the property will be transferred to your name, and the mortgage will be transferred from your lender to the builder. These are among the duties of your real estate lawyer, with whom you’ll meet on closing day.

These meetings often take place in the afternoon, and it’s more than likely you have spent the morning doing last-minute packing. While your head is buzzing with all there is to do, you’ll be asked to sign on the dotted line – many times. You’ll be signing mortgage and title documents, each of which will be carefully explained by your lawyer.

Come prepared with personal ID and your cheque book, as well as bank drafts or certified cheques to cover various closing costs.

(Your lawyer will have given you specific instructions.) I’ve talked about additional fees in detail before, but here, briefly, are some fees you may be expected to pay

upon closing: legal fees, school levies, utility connections, Land Transfer Tax (part or all of which may be rebated) and the Tarion Warranty Corp. fee (which is often included in your home’s price, but sometimes paid upon closing).

You may have already given funds to your lawyer in trust, in which case you’ll receive an itemized list of the fees paid.

The closing process is slightly more complicated for buyers of new condos, in that there are actually two different closing dates: the occupancy closing date, or “interim closing,” which marks the day that you may move in; and the final closing date, which is the day that the title is officially transferred to you – typically several months after interim closing. This delay occurs because the condo building must be inspected and registered by the municipality before titles can be transferred.

The last piece of official business is the best: opening your palm to receive your keys from your lawyer or builder’s representative. Jingling never sounded so good.
