editor’snote

Think you can’t afford a home?

It’s more affordable than you first thought

M

uch like that bank commercial that says, “You’re richer than you think,” a new home may be more affordable than you originally thought.

Perhaps you need only to change your definition of “home” to get into the market.

While a detached home is the traditional choice for many, highrise and lowrise suites, lofts and townhomes have become a prime choice among first-time buyers and empty nesters in the market for new place to call home.

Not only does townhouse and condominium living afford you the opportunity to live in a prime neighbourhood at a great starting price, when it’s time to move you can often opt to remain in the same neighbourhood, since many communities offer a mix of designs and sizes, which allows families to relocate easily without having to change jobs or schools.

Today’s communities generally have a range of sizes and prices that start at the “affordable” end of the price spectrum. Many builders and developers are gearing up for their grand openings and have new communities available for quick occupancy. It’s an exciting time to be shopping for a new place, so don’t miss this excellent buying opportunity.

Have a look through this issue and see what you think. The home of your dreams is waiting.

Be prepared

This adage is never more true than when buying your first home

T

he moment you decide to buy your first home is an important one – from getting your finances in order, to learning about mortgages, to researching builders and to getting out there to look at potential communities. Indeed, the excitement grows at every step.

Buying your first home can also be an emotional experience. There will be houses you fall in love with, communities you really want to live in and neighbours you can envision befriending.

As exciting as all of this is, it’s also important to not let your emotions get carried away – to buy more with your heart than your head. This is why you should take your time, do your research and conduct due diligence on every development, builder and home you consider.

This issue of New Home & Condo Guide, like all editions we put together, contains a variety of content to guide you through this process. Our goal is to help identify subjects, neighbourhoods, communities, housing types and builders for you to consider – in short, to help you prepare.

With this knowledge, and your own enthusiasm, you’re well on your way!

Dunsire Developments delivers a balanced approach at Mill Creek Village

D

unsire Developments is the new kid on the block when it comes to home builders. It arrived on the scene in late 2010. Despite its relative newness, Dunsire is backed by oodles of experience and talent, from its sales people to construction team. In a short time, the builder has created quite the splash by creating vibrant communities across Ontario in cities such as Mississauga, Guelph and Kitchener.

Shawn Keeper founded the company with a desire to do something different as a builder. Backed by his academic achievements, he put together a tightly knit group who could make his vision come true. He believes that people don’t just purchase a home; they buy a lifestyle. With that in mind, he set out to treat customers more like partners in the home building experience – one that didn’t end once the last of the moving boxes come through the front door.

Dunsire places a strong emphasis on customer service.

That’s part of what ensures having happy homeowners.

Another component is a happy staff. Dunsire provides a holistic work environment that fosters a harmonious work/ life balance. Team members are encouraged to further their educations, along with participation in a healthy active lifestyles. Fresh perspectives help contribute to the way they do business.

Certainly, there’s good karma and creativity that go into every project. The latest is Mill Creek Village in Kitchener, a development that is truly unique. The homes feature a back-to-back design, a first for the area. It appeals to homebuyers who traditionally have had to choose between a condo and a townhouse. This design provides a maintenance-free lifestyle while allowing buyers to have their own front door and garage. There are no backyards to maintain. The approach has been a hit among first-time buyers, young families and young professionals.

Mill Creek also has a fantastic location going for it.

Just off Homer Watson Blvd., it’s handy to the tri-cities

of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge via Hwy. 401. Yet the development itself is quiet, close to a park, within walking distance of a St. Mary’s high school and an excellent sports complex. It’s close to public transit as well.

The proposed arrival of a grocery store, potential restaurants and other commercial outlets will put basic amenities a short stroll away. The community has a New York feel to it, reminiscent of its beautiful brownstone neighbourhoods.

Buyers considering a move into the community can take advantage of Mill Creek’s current promotion – $10,000 to spend on upgrades at the Design Centre. Now’s the time to get that fabulous gourmet kitchen, deep soaker tub, or artisan-designed cupboards and trim – making a home sweet home all the sweeter. Up next, watch for White Cedars Estates in Guelph and its single-family residences.

trends in

decorating your home for the holiday season

Decorating a home for the holidays is something of a

Canadian tradition. New home builders also get into the spirit with festive displays in their model homes and sales centres, which range from simple exterior lights and seasonal planters to more elaborate displays outside and in.

Our friends at Sheridan Nurseries start planning for this busy season early in October. Brenda Luckhardt, business to business marketing and development manager, shares these tips and trends for 2013. “Holiday items often follow colour and style trends seen in fashion and home décor. This year we’re seeing candy-floss pink and black and white themes emerge,” she says. Examples of this from Sheridan’s line-up are the Fi-Fi and Black Tie. Luckhardt describes Fi-Fi as “every little girls dream” – a soft pink-coloured tree decked out with ballet slippers, French poodles and feathered birds! Black Tie mirrors formal evening attire – a white tree with black and silver ornaments. Silver is the predominant metallic in holiday décor this year, she notes.

“It’s not all glitz and glam though. This year we are seeing a return to rustic, natural woodland accents, especially in outdoor container design,” explains Luckhardt. Look for driftwood stars, birch lollipops and straw owls and reindeer.

Luckhardt says the traditional choice of a fresh cut tree is still the most popular among their customers. Balsam and Fraser Fir are the top sellers but a relative newcomer Nordman Fir is catching on for its soft blue-green needles which will hold for over three weeks indoors. Sheridan advises to always give a “real” tree a fresh cut, use Sta-Fresh or similar product and check the water level daily.

Everlast trees are an excellent choice, particularly if you wish to set it up well ahead of the holiday or if you plan to be away for a period, as they don’t require water. “The selection in everlasting trees has vastly increased over the years,” says Luckhardt. “A slim-line tree is a good choice for a condo or small office whereas a majestic 12-ft. tree will fill a room with cathedral ceiling.” Depending upon the look you are after, you’ll find everlasting trees range from very life-like to boldly different in mint green, white and black, for example.

The bottom line is that there are no hard and fast rules; adding one or two new items or displaying treasured pieces in a new spot may be all that you wish to do.

For many of us, the fragrance of a fresh cut tree is what we’re after but we don’t want a real tree. Incorporating cuttings into table centrepieces or on fireplace mantles is a great way to have the scent and can look very dramatic in a room. Or, consider a potpourri or room freshener with the evergreen scent.

The bottom line is that there are no hard and fast rules; adding one or two new items or displaying treasured pieces in a new spot may be all that you wish to do.

This is part of a series of articles on topics of interest to new-home buyers, authored by Sue Webb Smith, marketing director for Geranium Homes.

Branthaven’s Fieldstone

fully decorated model home now ready for you to come home and “Nest”

B

ranthaven Homes is pleased to introduce a brand new, fully decorated model home at Nestings, its prestigious River Ridge neighbourhood of Kitchener-Waterloo.

In addition to the award- winning line-up of The Grand River and Willow model homes, the recently unveiled Fieldstone, continues to attract discerning homebuyers looking to spread their wings and soar in a “Branthaven.” location Kitchener housing type Single-family homes on 36-, 40-, 45- and 50-ft. lots sales centre 20 Redtail St., open Monday to Wednesday 2 to 7 p.m., closed Thursday and Friday, open Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. contact 519.954.3450 | branthaven.com

This summer saw a considerable number of new-home buyer families flocking to Nestings. “Fifteen luxury homes have sold since spring, so we decided to introduce a few more spec homes and quick closings in our remaining Phase 1,” says Steve Stipsits, president of Branthaven. “The Fieldstone is a great plan at 3,650 sq. ft. of refined living. It showcases everything our larger estates offer in a well-conceived, attainable single-family home. The plan has both formal flare and lots of family-friendly features that, until now, the Kitchener-Waterloo market has not been typically offered outside of a custom-built home.” Stipsits adds, “The Fieldstone also fits on our remaining Phase 1 and new Phase 2 lots, so you can move into either phase to suit your timelines.”

The Fieldstone is quintessentially Branthaven. A stunning upgraded corner elevation, wrapped in a rustic brick façade with a prominent front porch, roofline with gabled silhouette, the Fieldstone makes a great first impression. It has an earthy palette of rich reds and silvery stone. The welcoming double entry doors and carriage style garage doors are perfectly proportioned and balance the elevation. Lovely windows complete this home’s curb appeal.

Inside, the Fieldstone Model includes a generous foyer, a formal front living room and grand dining room – perfect for large family gatherings and elegant entertaining. From this central area the floorplan radiates to a highly functional layout with elegant open staircase, discreet powder room, kitchen, library, family room and even handy garage access and laundry room. The casual family-friendly features include a beautiful eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar, an adjoining family room – cosy and comfortable with a signature fireplace and TV surround, pretty side windows and warm wood floors. The separate library is ideal for the executive who wishes to work from home.

BRANTHAVEN HOMES

Nestings

Upstairs, a generous hallway circulates to reveal a practical four-bedroom layout, plus a family-friendly computer nook. The very large master bedroom, similar to a hotel suite, has a quiet sitting area, separate his and hers walk-in closets and expansive bathroom – the perfect retreat for busy working parents.

A Branthaven model home always inspires.

The Fieldstone is no exception. The interiors are wrapped in a gorgeous palette of chic charcoals, shimmering silvers, soft greys blended with classic linen and taupe furnishings against a backdrop of warm wood floors, oversized tiles and crisp bright white trim. The Fieldstone’s overall impact is refreshingly elegant and modern at the same time.

“The expression, ‘seeing is believing’, is true for our homebuyers,” offers Stipsits. “Our three Nestings’ showhomes are a testament to our smart plans, our range of styles and selections and certainly the quality construction you can expect when you buy a “Branthaven.”

If you are in the market for a single-family home in Kitchener Waterloo, now is the time to buy. Choice lots still remain, and “ready” homes are underway with quick move-ins.

Nestings offers 36-, 40-, 45- and 50-ft. singlefamily homes with lots of flexible family spaces, even up to five bedrooms!

Welcome to

Cambridge Where history combines with prosperity for a vibrant community

I

f you haven’t been to Cambridge lately, you’re in for a real surprise.

No longer a sleepy little town formed from the amalgamation of the City of Galt, the Towns of Hespeler and Preston and parts of the Townships of Waterloo and North Dumfries – all of which boast rich history dating back to the 1800s – Cambridge is a thriving city with a population of approximately 130,000 and growing.

Location is one of the most obvious advantages for Cambridge.

Considered part of the Region of Waterloo, with a total population of about 539,000, the city is situated just off Hwy. 401, within easy reach of major metropolitan centres including Toronto and London and three US border crossings at Detroit, Niagara Falls and Buffalo.

In terms of economy, Cambridge is among the most industrialized areas in the country. In fact, it is one of the three point-towns that form “Canada’s Technology Triangle,” along with Kitchener and Waterloo.

KWC today comprises one of Canada’s most diverse economies, evolving from a reliance on manufacturing into a balanced economy that crosses many sectors. The area boasts a thriving advanced science and technology sector and a highly skilled workforce in the IT, automotive, business and financial services sectors.

Among Cambridge’s largest employers is Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC), whose approximately three-millionsq.-ft. facility on 400 acres employs more than 4,500 people. Also based in Cambridge are ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc., COM DEV International Ltd., Novocol Pharmaceutical of Canada Inc., Loblaw Companies East, Canadian General Tower and Babcock & Wilcox.

WHAT WE CALL A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM IN SMITHVILLE.

Live the good life on up to 60’ lots in wine country.

It seems like small towns have become big towns. Big towns are small cities. What if you could have the best of both worlds, and live just minutes from everything, yet wake up to the sound of, well, nothing. We’re talking beautifully crafted homes surrounded by wine country and farmers’ markets.

Instead of traffic jams you’ll have conservation areas, bike trails and homemade pies just a hop, skip and a jump away. Starting to sound pretty good isn’t it?

ith more than 40 years in the home-building industry, Henry Smith, president of Cosmopolitan Homes, knows that a great home is nothing without a great location. So when a parcel of land became available in St. Catharines’ hugely desirable north end, he jumped at the opportunity.

“St. Catharines is a diverse, vibrant city, but it has somehow never lost its small town feel. It offers the perfect balance of local amenities and attractions, together with a relaxed way of life that so many of us are looking for these days,” says Smith. “It’s here that we’re creating Vintner Estates, an exclusive enclave of freehold bungalow and two-storey townhomes.”

Cosmopolitan Homes has taken great pride in designing an exclusive portfolio of executive townhome residences for Vintner Estates. Priced from $259,990, these open concept designs feature two- to five-bedroom floorplans, Great Rooms with cathedral ceilings and optional gas fireplaces, nine-ft. main floor ceilings and hardwood flooring, gourmet kitchens with extra-height cabinets, master bedroom retreats with spa-inspired ensuites, air conditioning and so much more. There’s even a choice of direct access one- and two-car garages.

At Vintner Estates, this fabulous choice of freehold townhomes goes hand in hand with a Niagara location that can’t be beat.

Making the LINK

between contemporary architecture, lifestyle and nature in Burlington

R

ecognized as the archetype of contemporary design in Burlington, ADI Developments is raising the bar anew, reinventing the city’s expectations for condo living with LINK Condos + Towns.

Offering a full sweep of state-of-the-art amenities, making health and fitness a priority, they invite you to rethink what it means to live in a condo.

Unlike owning a detached home, which is limited by square footage, some of the best features and finishes at LINK Condos + Towns are found outside your suite – in the welcoming lobbies, lush courtyard, and two-storey amenity building – LINK’s social epicenter.

Love to entertain? Host your next dinner party in the intimate private dining room, then retreat to the party room for conversation over cocktails by the doublesided fireplace. Or invite your favourite chef to share their expertise and treat your friends to a fun and interactive evening in the demonstration kitchen.

Having trouble fitting the gym into your busy schedule? ADI Developments has partnered with Trubody Fitness to offer semi-private workout sessions and yoga classes seven days a week with an onsite trainer included in standard condo fees.

“Like ADI Developments, Trubody Fitness caters to individual lifestyles.

We are not about a quick fix. Health and fitness is a long term commitment, which is that much easier when the gym is on your doorstep,” says Eric Daye, owner of Trubody Fitness.

Make it part of your daily routine to wind down in the luxurious steam room and let the heat work its magic. Reenergize in the therapeutic hot and cool plunge pools framed by range shower and glass vegetation atrium.

Located at the corner of Dundas and Sutton, LINK Condos + Towns is nestled into the natural sanctuary of Bronte Creek. Darlings of contemporary midrise architect, RAW focused every element of LINK’s

Inspired by New York’s High Line, the courtyard features a tranquil parterre garden with mature landscaping, the perfect place to for a picnic or to take in the sunshine.

form on the central courtyard’s unique linear slope to the creek.

Inspired by New York’s High Line, the courtyard features a tranquil parterre garden with mature landscaping, the perfect place for a picnic or to take in the sunshine. The private barbecue alcove at the east end provides an intimate venue for dining al fresco on a warm summer’s eve.

Mirroring the natural surroundings, carrying from the lobby into the suites, LINK’s interiors are both understand and dramatic, juxtaposing warm woods and natural finishes with slick symmetry and metal art installations.

A nexus of urban residences with a twostorey retail presence, LINK Condos + Towns is set to become a defining Burlington landmark. Tiered floors at shifting angles and dramatic balcony pods designed to maximize views to the creek are a visual treat: the exterior is a geometric matrix of cubes and graphic interplay of colour.

“We combined the best in architecture, natural setting, healthy living and social space to create a development unlike anything Burlington has ever seen before,” says Tariq Adi. Burlington’s newest project follows hoton-the-heels of the success of ADI Development Group’s launch project, Mod’rn condominium. Winner of four Ha m i lton-Ha lton Home Bu i lder s Association (HHHBA) 2012 Awards of Distinction, and nominated for 2013 Most Outstanding Midrise Development by the Ontario Home Builders Association (OHBA), the ex per ts ag ree: A DI Development is raising the stakes when it comes to midrise living.

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.
