uying a brand-new home offers you an opportunity to customize it to your liking. It can be a dream come true and an investment for the future – but don’t forget, it’s also legal transaction.

The term “get it in writing” has never been more important in the case of the new-home purchase, since such a document outlines everything your home will have in it, on it and around it. Otherwise known as the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the contract spells out the terms and conditions between you and your builder. Without it, if there is a misunderstanding or disagreement, it’s impossible to prove what was agreed upon.

Since building a home is much more complicated than a resale transaction where the unit and/or property likely already exists, there is

no set Agreement of Purchase and Sale or standard contract for buying a new home. In some provinces, builders may have standard contracts prepared by the local home builders’ association or their new-home warranty program. Builders often prepare their own agreements, so contracts can vary from one builder/ developer to another and from province to province.

Before you sign a contract, review it carefully with the builder and ask questions to make sure you fully understand what it contains. Your next step is to then take it to a real estate lawyer and have it reviewed. Once it is signed, it becomes a legal document and an agreed-upon contract, so seeking the services of an experienced real estate lawyer is an important step toward ensuring that your dream home becomes a reality.

Hot markets, cool opportunities Canada’s strong real estate markets leave some prospective buyers exploring options to get in

hen buying a new home, many people’s vision involves an expansive property in an excellent location and at a great price – within easy reach of all the amenities you need and where you work.

If you’re lucky, you’re able to achieve all of this right off the bat. More likely, as prices rise and selection is increasingly determined by availability and affordability, you may have to compromise. Instead of a detached home in your number one neighbourhood, you find yourself looking at a semi. If a townhome is not quite within reach in your first area of choice, you may be considering a condo.

This is the exercise more and more homebuyers are going through these

days. Want a bigger property, move further out of the city. That used to be the fairly simple process. Now, complicated by issues such as transit and commuting times, the choices may not be so easy. In some areas, rising land acquisition costs are expected to make many buyers’ number two lowrise choice – townhomes – notably more expensive.

Where to from there? A condo? That may not be a suitable alternative, if you have or are planning a family.

The good news is builders are responding to such challenges by increasing their offerings in home type, and in the case of condos, unit sizes.

Plenty of homebuying options are out there, and if you do through research, you’ll unearth the opportunities.

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

Bennett Property Shop Realty, in conjunction with Broccolini, is pleased to announce the only new condo development in the downtown core: The Slater – Ottawa’s ultimate downtown condo lifestyle. The Slater is one of Ottawa’s most talked about developments, and construction is well underway.

Located at 199 Slater St. in Ottawa’s Central Business District, The Slater is Ottawa’s new “it” address. This luxurious 23-storey highrise is the perfect adaptation of classic modernist design. The Slater is an intricately inspired mix of retro meets modernist style. The black and white exterior is classically chic, yet bold and commanding. This is the ideal address for young and trendy professionals who want to live in the heart of it all.

The Slater was inspired as a response to the ever-growing population in the downtown core. What was once a purely nine-to-five part of town, the business district will now flourish with this magnificent new addition. The Slater will steer this neighbourhood in a new and welcoming direction, adding life and vitality to this prime real estate area.

BENNETT PROPERTY SHOP REALTY | The Slater

LOCATION Central Business District HOUSING TYPE Condominium SALES OFFICE 190 Lisgar St., between Elgin and Metcalfe CONTACT sales@theslater.ca 613.233.8606 theslater.ca

The Slater will serve as a remarkably central home base for urban professionals in Ottawa. Design-wise, the builder wanted more than a pleasant addition to the cityscape; Broccolini Construction envisaged a striking visual anchor that would do justice to the project’s social importance for the neighbourhood.

With the announcement of Le Group Germain’s hotel line ALT Hotels to open within The Slater, this already popular condo building is now the hot place to be. Le Group Germain is quickly becoming one of Canada’s top names in luxury and hip hotels. Although the hotel and the condos will have their own entrances, lobbies and elevators, the trendy style of ALT Hotels and the well-established name of Le Group Germain will immediately increase the building’s popularity.

Amenities at The Slater – including a fitness centre with an outdoor hot tub, screening room and a club lounge with a stunning private dining room – are among the most glamorously appointed in the city. Suites range from smart studios to double-height penthouses with captivating views of the Gatineaus and Parliament Hill.

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

The Slater delivers a fresh urban living experience for the young professional in search of a modern and stylish place to call home. Starting as low as $215,000 it has never been so easy or so affordable to purchase your new luxury home in the heart of the business district.

Come and experience the magnificence of each of the 178 chic-modern condos for sale. You will admire the spacious and

open-concept living space, the modern-trendy kitchens, the sleek hardwood flooring and the abundance of natural light.

Buy any One Bedroom plus Den plan

by November 30, and get $7000 off the cost of your new home.

For more information on The Slater, visit the website at theslater.ca or call 613.233.8606.

//FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

Why you should always check YOUR PROPERTY BOUNDARY » by WAYNE KARL

WAYNE KARL

is an award-winning writer and editor with experience in real estate and business.

In Fundamentally Speaking, Wayne explores the basics – such as economic fundamentals – you need to examine when buying property.

He can be reached at

wayne.karl@wall2wallmedia.com

or follow him on Twitter at Twitter.com/WayneKarl

Have you bought, or are considering buying, a new home and want to build a fence, shed or deck or otherwise spruce up your residence? Here’s why you might want to check your property boundary first.

A recent analysis conducted by Krcmar Surveyors Ltd. showed that about 49 per cent of residential properties in the Greater Toronto Area, for example, have boundary discrepancies with significant potential to cause disputes between neighbours.

Horror stories of feuding neighbours, litigation nightmares and tens of thousands of dollars in legal costs are not just the stuff of Hollywood movies – it really does happen.

And yes, even with new homes.

Sometimes, it’s just difficult to tell where one property ends and another begins. “It’s not as easy as one would think, in a muddy construction zone with no fences and rudimentary driveways, curbs and roads to delineate land parcels,” says Sasa Krcmar, executive director of Krcmar Surveyors Ltd., whose company has helped launch protectyourboundaries.ca, a site designed to help homeowners prevent and resolve property boundary issues.

Although legal iron bars are set to mark out each lot prior to construction, they often get knocked out, moved or buried during the building phase.

“Many homeowners naturally, and incorrectly, assume that the wooden stakes that dot the perimeter of their property represent the boundary, and use them as a guide to start planting a hedge or put up a fence,” Krcmar told

26 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | NOV 1 - 15, 2014

New Home & Condo Guide. “However, these wooden stakes are generally used for site grading. And while they are likely located near the property line, they can’t be relied upon to determine the legal boundary.”

Here, then, are a few tips for new-home owners to avoid property boundary issues.

GET THE SURVEYORS REAL PROPERTY REPORT:

Your property boundary will be recorded in the Surveyors Real Property Report (SRPR) that is performed after the foundation walls are poured (approximately a foot above grade) and the soil is backfilled around the home. The SRPR is your official documentation of your building location and the property boundary lines. Builders typically provide this plan when you close the deal. Be sure you receive a copy and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

MARK THE FOUR BOUNDARY CORNERS OF YOUR PROPERTY: Ask the builder to have the surveyor mark the

four boundary corners of your property with iron survey bars as a condition of closing. Even if the builder charges a nominal fee for this service, it is a cost-effective practice that will allow you to add structures and landscaping with confidence and peace of mind in years to come.

PROTECT THE IRON SURVEY BARS THAT DEFINE YOUR PROPERTY: Protect the iron survey bars that define

the corners of the property. They are legal monuments that provide the most important evidence of your property boundaries. Don’t remove or move them, or allow others to.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR:

Be a good neighbour, while at the same time ensuring that your neighbours don’t establish a pattern of using part of your property for their routine activities.

AND, IF ALL ELSE FAILS:

Visit protectyourboundaries.ca, where, for a cost that varies depending on the surveyor (usually $200 to $300), homeowners can find their exact property boundaries.

NEWLY DESIGNED TERRACE HOMES in Chapman Mills in the heart of Barrhaven

LOCATION Barrhaven HOUSING TYPE Terrace homes from 1,028 sq. ft. and from $189,900 SALES CENTRE 102 Southam Way CONTACT 613.823.1900 chapmanmillssales@minto.com minto.com

M

into has had a spectacular year with several new product releases… and the company is not quite done yet. The latest in the Minto product line is the Infusion Terrace Home, scheduled for release before the end of 2014 in Chapman Mills.

Barrhaven is one of Ottawa’s fastest growing areas. Throughout the community, innovative use of land combines cosy neighbourhood pocket parks, single-loaded roads and landscaped traffic circles, all of which create high resale values.

The location of the new Infusion Terrace Homes will be along Longfields Drive near Strandherd – within easy walking distance of Chapman Mills Marketplace, which is host to everything you or your family could need. Here, you’ll find dentists, restaurants, major retailers such as Walmart, Staples, Homesense and Loblaws, as well as a new Cineplex Odeon theatre.

These beautifully designed terrace homes appeal to first-time buyers, investors and families looking for reasonable alternatives. The two-storey homes feature fantastic open-concept main floors, two spacious bedrooms, one-and-a-half bathrooms, a bedroom-level laundry area, kitchen island with breakfast bar, balcony and parking.

Minto quality comes through in every facet of these new homes, from efficient design to quality crafted materials.

28 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | NOV 1 - 15, 2014

MINTO | CHAPMAN MILLS

The best part of the neighbourhood is the accessibility of the location. Built right next to the High School Pierre-Savard, and within walking distance to other schools and churches, doctors and professional services, you can have the walking lifestyle offered by more central locations, but for an affordable price. Even for those who need access to downtown: the Longfields Transit Station provides fast, no-car transportation into the city, and a bicycle trail alongside offers a healthy alternative way to commute.

The two-storey homes feature fantastic open-concept main floors, two spacious bedrooms, one-and-a-half bathrooms, a bedroom-level laundry area, kitchen island with breakfast bar, balcony and parking.

Chapman Mills is also just a short drive from first class recreational facilities, including the Walter Baker Centre, Nepean Sportsplex and the Minto Recreation Complex that opens in November 2014. There are park areas for all ages and activities – take an easy stroll along the Rideau River, go for a run, breathe in the sights and sounds of the extensive National Capital Commission (NCC) nature trails, or join baseball, soccer or football teams and compete on the many sports fields in the area.

These surprisingly affordable new homes are also surrounded by the Greenbelt and offer handy access to Hwy. 416. Minto’s homes are third-party LEED certified, and Minto has long been a market leader in energy-efficiency, which saves resources and saves you money – and its use of Green finishes creates a healthier indoor environment, too.

With starting prices as low as $189,900, you can’t go wrong. Register now at minto.com, or call 613.823.1900, email chapmanmillssales@minto.com or visit the sales centre at 102 Southam Way, Monday to Thursday noon to 8 p.m., weekends and holidays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. From Strandherd, go south on Longfields Drive then east on Clearbrook Drive to Southam Way.

//TOP HOMEBUYING TIPS

Three good reasons to think resale WHEN YOU BUY A NEW HOME

Buying a brand new home has obvious advantages – you choose the lot location, elevation, floorplan and, of course, the interior finishings.

Anything you want to make your new home well… yours. Resale potential and what features might appeal to future buyers of your home are likely not top of mind.

But, builders and realtors alike say you should think about resale when you select the inclusions, design elements and decor basics of your new home. It may be your brand new home now, but one day you may choose to sell – and that’s when your personal tastes could affect the resale value of your home.

Consider these insights from the recent Canadian Home Critics Survey from realty firm Century 21: DECOR

In Quebec, for example, 20 per cent of homebuyers (the highest in Canada) dislike decor full of the owners’ personal 30 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | NOV 1 - 15, 2014

touches. Buyers in Ontario rank dated flooring as one of their top decor turn-offs. In Alberta, 28 per cent (the highest in the country) say updated finishings – such as counters, flooring and mouldings – are added features that would persuade them to buy.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Canadians overwhelmingly would select a home due to energy efficiency upgrades (41 per cent) over updated finishings such as granite counters or hardwood floors (22 per cent). In Atlantic Canada, 59 per cent rated energy upgrades as the top feature that would persuade them to buy, the highest percentage in Canada. In BC, residents overwhelmingly say energy efficiency upgrades are the number one additional feature that would persuade them to buy a home (41 per cent).

CLEAN, MODERN LOOKS

Ontarians rank dated flooring as the number two home decor turn-off. The number one way to turn off Ontario homebuyers is to not clean the house well (57 per cent), while 18 per cent say old furniture taints their first impression of a home. If a home has old flooring, it better be sparkling; uncleanliness tops Canadian homebuyers’ turn-off list (60 per cent), followed by dated flooring (40 per cent) and bold paint colours (18 per cent).

When should you spring for the builder upgrade? » by MARNIE BENNETT

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

It’s always interesting to watch new-home buyers as they choose their upgrades. Naturally, they’re excited about this chance to customize their homes. Some throw caution to the wind, exceeding their budgets by thousands, while others are determined not to go a penny over. Whatever your personality type, the ability to prioritize is key.

Now, the types of upgrades available to you will depend largely on your builder. Among the most popular options are hardwood floors, finished basements and gas fireplaces. (In more exclusive communities, these may be considered standard features.) Upgrades can be as modest as a soft-close toilet seat or as dramatic as a coffered ceiling.

You may have the opportunity to select crown molding and taller baseboards, or high-end appliances, custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line hardware. Mosaic tile backsplashes, granite countertops, elegant lighting fixtures, closet organizers, rain showerheads . . . the list goes on and on. As you can imagine, it’s enough to set your head spinning.

So, which features should make the final cut?

Consider the following: Which upgrades will have the most impact on your quality of life?

Write down every option that appeals to you, and then rank them from most to least important. You may be surprised to find that sometimes it’s not the most expensive items that matter most to you: some people get more excited about a kitchen recycling centre than they do about a bathroom clad in marble.

Which make the most sense from an investment point of view?

While it’s hard to imagine selling a home that isn’t even built yet, there will come a day when you’ll want your home to appeal to buyers. Money spent on solid gold bathroom faucets will not be recouped, I promise you. Hardwood floors, on the other hand, tend to be a crowd-pleaser.

Which can be easily postponed for a couple of years?

If you’re still having trouble allocating your budget, opt for the upgrades that are most technically difficult to install. Gas fireplaces, for instance, are a good feature to install right off the bat, while cabinet hardware can easily be replaced at a later date.

While I wouldn’t advise to splurge on every bell and whistle, the right touches will make your home feel as special as you are.

Like so much in life, it’s about striking the right balance.

//DESIGNER ADVICE

Jillian Harris

Canada’s it girl

At a recent event promoting LG’s new door-in-door refrigerator, designer, blogger and TV star Jillian Harris shares some of her inspiring entertaining tips – causing a serious fangirl moment along the way.

» by SARA DUCK » photo by KAROLINA TUREK PHOTOGRAPHY

32 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | NOV 1 - 15, 2014

What do you love most about entertaining?

J: I love to treat people. I love having guests come over and serving them the best food I can make, putting on the best party I can.

I want people to leave having had a really great time. That makes me really happy.

How can you use existing decor to make a party hosted at home comfortable and stylish?

J: Using your kitchen island as a serving station or buffet

is a great idea. Bring your indoor furniture outdoors, and create an interesting set-up to stage your food (weather pending, of course!).

29.6 Cu. Ft. Super Capacity 3-Door Refrigerator with Door-in-Door. Visit lg.com

Tell us about your partnership with LG J: LG approached me about six months ago to be the ambassador

for its new Door-in-Door refrigerator. Given my love of design, food and entertaining, it seemed like the perfect fit. The refrigerator is amazing for entertaining – it can act as a beverage centre, where guests can help themselves!

When it comes to kitchen essentials, what is your favourite item?

J: For a bit of luxury, I would say a wine fridge. I pretty much bought my house because it came with one. I also think a great big kitchen island is so important for everyday cooking, as well as entertaining.

Describe your dream kitchen J: All white with some gritty elements, such as exposed beam, an

industrial chandelier, large windows and open shelving. Oh, and a few French baguettes in a basket on the counter!

If you could cook with anyone, who would it be?

J: My grandmother, she is my muse. We cook together all the time, and she is so inspiring.

You love to entertain and throw beautiful, inspiring parties.

What are your top entertaining tips?

1. Making food ahead of time – it is a huge sanity saver.

2. Use rental companies for tables, chairs, glassware, utensils and linens – it is a lot less expensive than people realize.

3. Being present in the moment. I can spend so much time

preparing and hosting the party, that sometimes I forget to enjoy it. Do your hosting, and then be resolved to enjoy yourself, too!

Where do you look for inspiration when planning a party?

J: My cousin Tori’s blog, fraichenutrition.com – she’s a dietitian and an incredible cook, she inspires me with her euro-rustic approach to food, which I love. And, in terms of decor, I look to Monika Hibbs.

She has beautiful style.

What are the top entertaining trends this season?

J: For decor, an all-white palette is still big this year, but mixed with rustic elements and metals, such as serving food on an antique cutting board. And for food, the mini trend (think one-bite apps) is still going strong!

You are known for your fabulous sense of style.

How do you like to dress when you entertain?

J: When I throw parties, I usually pick a theme and get everyone to dress accordingly – which makes for great, fun photos.

Chilled Caprese Tomato Bites This ideal finger food is a no-cook, little-prep, handmade crowd pleaser created by Jillian Harris and inspired by the LG Door-inDoor Refrigerator. The tomato gives a farm-fresh feel, while the creamed mozzarella adds a rich taste.

Ingredients 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved 3 tbsp. heavy whipping cream 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 6 fresh basil leaves 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions Scoop out and discard pulp of cherry tomatoes.

Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain and insert skewer.

In a food processor, combine the cream, mozzarella cheese, basil and garlic; cover and process until blended. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or heavy-duty resealable plastic bag.

Fill with cheese mixture.

//TOP HOMEBUYING TIPS

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR

energy consumption and heating costs With cold weather approaching, Canadian homeowners will soon be looking for ways to reduce home energy consumption and heating costs.

With memories of last winter – one of the harshest in recent history – still fresh, many Canadians are taking a more proactive approach to prevent condensation, drafts and cold floors that are dead giveaways you’re paying too much to heat your home.

And yes, these warning signs surface even in new homes.

“An under-performing building envelope is the main reason why the average Canadian spends unnecessary money on heating costs,” says Jay Nordenstrom, executive director of NAIMA Canada, an association of insulation manufacturers. “A robust building envelope means homeowners decrease their energy needs. This lowers monthly heating bills, along with the associated greenhouse gas emissions, and enhances comfort during catastrophic winter weather.”

Just what is a “building envelope”?

It’s a term to describe the building components that separate the indoors from the outdoors. A home with a modern building envelope – well insulated, properly sealed and well ventilated – can provide shelter during the most brutal weather conditions. It also provides insurance in the event your furnace is disabled by a power outage.

Paying a premium for a house with increased wall and attic insulation, for example, can provide month-over34 NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE EASTERN ONTARIO | NOV 1 - 15, 2014

month payback by lowering energy consumption and heating costs. These savings vary, however, and are determined by the R-value of your home’s insulation. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power.

New homes offer the best opportunity to ensure a high-performance building envelope, and NAIMA suggests home builders not trade off improvements to the building envelope in favour of mechanical systems.

Renovating a home is another opportunity to improve the building envelope. The most beneficial upgrades include installing appropriate amounts of insulation and weather sealing where drafts and air leakages are occurring, NAIMA says. Many of these can be done as do-it-yourself projects.

Across Canada, grants and rebates are available from the federal and provincial governments and local utilities, especially for energy-saving renovations.

More information on such programs and tips on how to insulate your home is available at naimacanada.ca

It's a large statement piece and a vital part of a room's function. Why not have something extraordinary for this focal point?

Globe pendants work at any price point and style. They go from glam to eclectic and can be ultra-modern or antique. Have some fun with them!

TIP: In a smaller space, where hanging a large light fixture on a long chain may not be possible, consider using a series of smaller globes in a row. It’s a great look over a kitchen island.

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.
