A home to match

your nEEdS

our next home needs to fulfill more than just a change in location – it needs to deliver a level of comfort, convenience and quality that you’ve likely not considered on your previous journeys for a place to call home. Perhaps a bungalow is in order to help you get around better? More bedrooms? Fewer bathrooms and general living space to help minimize housework? And what about maintenance – does a condo make more sense for you this time around? Whatever your needs, it’s imperative that you create a realistic shopping list so you can assess a home’s potential without any distractions. With so many beautiful communities available in Ontario, we’re here to help you find a home with all the bells and whistles you want and need. Homebuyers this year are fortunate to be able to take advantage of a moderation in real estate prices and low interest rates. Your journey starts here. We hope you enjoy our latest issue. Do let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you.

There’s savings in

Saving up

uying real estate is a great investment. For those looking to buy their first piece, it can often seem like the most logical step to take when you start putting the numbers down on paper. You need a place to live, so there’s always going to be that payment to make, your bills are pretty stable whether you rent or buy, and when moving in with a significant other the budget becomes more flexible, making it seem silly to let months slip by without investing into your own home. But the reality is that lending has tightened up. Where once upon a time a 40-year amortization easily turned high payments into affordable payments, the 25-year cap on insured mortgages means a lot more down or a lot less mortgage. If you have more than 20 per cent as a down payment then there are more options, but if you want to get into the game with your first-time-buyer’s five percent down, you’re going to be looking at an additional premium at closing for insurance on your mortgage, and you’re also looking at the maximum amortization of 25 years. The trend, as the Genworth Canada report published in this issue of Resale Homes Guide explains, is that people are buying smarter. They’re saving longer and putting down more instead of overextending their finances and taking the minimum at every spot. While it may take a little longer to accumulate a down payment, it’s a smart approach and should work out well for firsttime homebuyers!

market commentary halton region Sales rose nine per cent in Halton Region to 615 from 564 transactions recorded in March of 2012. Over the same period, active listings were up 25 per cent and new listings were up 14 per cent. “Halton was the strongest region in the Greater Toronto Area in terms of year-overyear sales growth. Halton benefits from a diversity of housing stock, particularly in the low-rise categories including singles, semis and towns. As a result, households with many different housing needs are attracted to the region,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price in Halton for March sales was $603,882 – up 10 per cent compared to the average of $547,281 reported for the same month in 2012. “The rate of price growth in Halton remained robust in March. With this said, it is important to note that listings – both new and total active at the end of March – were up year-over-year at a greater rate than sales. This suggests that the market may be becoming better-supplied, which could result in a more moderate pace of price growth moving forward,” Mercer continued.

peel region/ orangeville March sales in Peel Region/Orangeville reached 1,717, a 16 per cent decline from the same time last year. On the supply side of the ledger, active listings were up 19 per cent to 4,091 while new listings in March were down by six per cent. “The stricter mortgage lending guidelines that came into effect last July have prompted some households to put their real estate purchases on hold while they reassess their situations,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “Some households may be waiting to save up more in the way of a down payment while others may be considering the purchase of a different type of home or a different area from where they had originally planned.” The average selling price in Peel Region/Orangeville was $450,159 in March – up four per cent from March 2012 when the average was reported at $434,321. “The rate of price growth for March in Peel/Orangeville was in line with expectations for the GTA as a whole in 2013. The pace of annual price growth is forecast to be more moderate this year compared to 2012,” Mercer continued.

City of toronto There were 2,891 sales in the City of Toronto in March. This result was down by 19 per cent compared to March 2012 when 3,585 transactions were reported through the TorontoMLS system. Active listings at the end of March were up by three per cent to 7,119. “While transactions have been down in the City of Toronto since midway through last year, it is important to note that we have seen enough competition between buyers to prompt upward pressure on home prices on a year-over-year basis. This is evidenced by the fact that sellers were receiving offers close to their asking price in less than 30 days,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price in the City of Toronto was $564,793, up three per cent from March 2012. “Price growth in the City of Toronto has been driven by the low-rise segment of the market, including single and semi-detached houses and townhomes. At the same time, however, it is important to note the average selling price for condominium apartments was up by two per cent in March compared to the same time last year,” Mercer noted.

How to move pianos and pool tables safely b y Da n H o p k i n s

hen it comes to moving households, handling large, bulky items is a challenge, especially if you decide to do it yourself. Here are a few tips that can help:

{Pool Tables}

A pool table must be disassembled before moving it. Depending on the age of the table, you may or may not have the original documentation on how it was put together and how to take it apart. Usually, the side rails and pockets come off, and the felt must be carefully removed. Depending on the size of the table, it will be composed of up to three large, heavy pieces of slate that comprise the playing surface. These slate surface pieces are often held into place on the frame with screws covered with bees wax. You have to know to look for these; otherwise you can do damage. Each section of

THe process for dismanTling THe resT of THe piano depends on THe Type. UsUally, one leg Has To be lifTed and UnbolTed To come off.

slate has to be wrapped in moving blankets. At Two Men and a Truck - Canada, we also stretch wrap them so we can get a better grip. The slate pieces should not be laid flat in the truck, as being jostled during the trip will create stress points that could cause cracks. The slate pieces should be secured vertically at the sides of the truck and should not come into contact with anything else during transport. When it’s time to eassemble the table at the other end, it’s important to realize just how heavy it is and place the sections of it carefully, realizing that its weight can have an effect on floor-bearing capacity. Ideally, pool tables should go into a basement on a concrete floor.

{Pianos}

It takes a minimum of three people to move a piano. The process begins with removing the pedal system, which must happen in a systematic way for the number of bolts that hold it onto the instrument. Pad wrap everything with moving blankets and stretch wrap each piece for added protection. The process for dismantling the rest of the piano depends on the type. Usually, one leg has to be lifted and unbolted to come off. We leave the bolting system attached and pad wrap & stretch wrap each leg so nothing is lost. At this point, we lower the piano gently on its side onto a special piano sled. Then, we remove the second leg while at least two people are supporting the piano. At this point, we

shift the piano to the upright position at the edge of the sled, which has an indentation to accommodate the lid overlap so the piano does not touch the floor. It sits on a cushioned blanket and secured to the sled to prevent pressure points while being moved. Then it becomes easy to remove the final leg. We pad wrap and stretch wrap the piano body, then ease it onto a special dolly and wheel it out the door. The piano should remain on the dolly, which becomes part of it during transport. We strap it to the side wall of the truck, halfway between the two wheel bases, for the least amount of jostling. Once it is reassembled in the new home, it is critical that the owners have the instrument retuned, as there will be some unavoidable changes from the move. Whether it is a pool table or piano, consider hiring a professional moving company to transport items such as pool tables and pianos. Neither you nor an inexperienced mover should be learning the process while handling your large, bulky possessions.

What’s available and What it Costs There were 2,891 sales in the City of Toronto in March. This result was down by 19 per cent compared to March 2012 when 3,585 transactions were reported through the TorontoMLS system. Active listings at the end of March were up by three per cent to 7,119. “While transactions have been down in the City of Toronto since midway through last year, it is important to note that we have seen enough competition between buyers to prompt upward pressure on home prices on a year-over-year basis. This is evidenced by the fact that sellers were receiving offers close to

their asking price in less than 30 days,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price in the City of Toronto was $564,793, up three per cent from March 2012. “Price growth in the City of Toronto has been driven by the low-rise segment of the market, including single and semidetached houses and townhomes. At the same time, however, it is important to note the average selling price for condominium apartments was up by two per cent in March compared to the same time last year,” Mercer noted.

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T FRET OVER A

‘market correction’ by peter k inch

ick up any newspaper today and no one could blame you if you got a little worried about the state of the economy or the fear of a pending market correction in Canadian real estate. Are Canadians taking on too much debt? Have mortgage rules gone too far? Is there a housing bubble about to burst? What if there is a market correction? The real question is, do Canadian homeowners or prospective buyers need to be concerned? Every time there is talk about a market correction, the tone is quite negative. But let’s take a closer look at that situation: rather than argue about whether we may have a market correction, let’s analyze what it really means to Canadians if there is one.

First-time homebuyers: If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you have likely felt the pinch of the rising cost of housing, and the new mortgage rules certainly haven’t helped any either. So a slight market correction would be welcome news for you; you can still get into homeownership with only five per cent down, but since your maximum amortization is now limited to only 25 years, a drop in pricing is exactly what you’ll need to be able to get into this market. ConClusion: A market correction is a good thing for you. Current homeowner buying or selling – moving up or downsizing: If you are a homeowner and you’re looking for the right time to sell your house so you can buy another, you may be concerned that the price of your current home is dropping. But, let’s assume the value of the house you are selling drops by 10 per cent. Let’s also assume that you plan to buy another home (whether upsizing or downsizing). Remember that the person selling their home to you is going through the exact same thing. In other words, if the value of your home dropped 10 per cent, so too did the value of the new home you are buying. Focus on what your bottom line “net” is, rather than what you thought or had hoped to sell your home for. ConClusion: The net effect of a market correction is likely zero. Real estate investor or second-home buyer: If you are buying real estate as an investment, this is the perfect market condition for you. When there are more sellers than buyers, you have more bargaining power. If you are able to negotiate a better deal and pay a little less for the property you are looking for, it simply makes the deal that much more affordable. ConClusion: You should be hoping for a market correction. Current homeowner with no plans to sell: The main reason we worry about a housing correction is the fear that it will 44

erode our home equity and net worth. A significant amount of net worth of Canadians is tied up in their home equity, which is the foundation for a lot of retirement plans – so there is obvious concern. But should there be? For the majority of Canadians, the plan is to stay in their current house for at least the next three to five years. So here’s a simple fact: equity is only gained or lost the day you sell. In other words, if the value of your house were to drop by 10 per cent tomorrow, you may feel anxiety over the drop in your net worth – but it would only be on paper unless you actually sold your house tomorrow. If you have no intention of selling soon and you can still afford your monthly payments, then all you need to do is sit and wait until the market bounces back – which it has always done for the past 100 years. ConClusion: A market correction may very well have zero impact on you. In the end, the headlines will continue to talk of impending market corrections. The key for you is to decipher one of three things: 1. Is this a real concern for you? 2. Is this an opportunity? Or, 3. Are you getting worked up about nothing? Bottom line: a lot of people will fret about this topic over the water cooler tomorrow morning – but the majority of them really don’t need to.

How can I find out what my home is worth? specializes in your locale and ask for a comparative market analysis to determine what your home is currently worth.” To get you started, here are Dorner’s initial assessment criteria: • Location: Location remains the most important variable in real estate. How close is your home to amenities and schools? Houses that are close to transit and amenities tend to be most valuable. • Space: Size is also a major factor. What is the square footage of your home? How many bedrooms? Although price per square foot varies enormously, generally the more square footage, the higher the value. • Type: What kind of home do you own? Is it a single detached home? A Condominium? As a rule, detached homes are generally the most valuable, followed by semis, townhouses and condominiums. • Condition: Has your home been updated? Does it have a modern kitchen? How about bathroom(s)? Updated, well-maintained houses tend to command top dollar. Your Realtor will provide a detailed breakdown based on these variables and many more.

ith spring now here and plenty of talk about the real estate market, Ontarians who plan to sell their house have plenty to consider with home value topping the list. Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, says there are some broad guidelines to determine home value, but beyond these basic parameters, speaking to a Realtor is the best way to find out how your local market is performing. “Real estate is hyper-local so despite what you may read, it is critical to recognize that home values vary hugely between neighbourhoods, and even between blocks in the same neighbourhood.

legallyspeaking

The importance of the

pre-closing inspection b y j ay s o n s c h wa r z

n this column, we are going to address a small but incredibly important part of the process of buying that new home, the Pre-Closing inspection. As most of you know, included in the adjustments on the purchase of a new condo or house (but not a conversion or retrofit project) is the cost of your Tarion (formerly the Ontario New Home Warranty Program) enrolment. Among the things you are covered for are defects in the completion of your new home. Most of the Agreements of Purchase and Sale make the deficiency list prepared as part of your final inspection the only basis for repairs, subject to the major items such as foundation cracks. What does this all mean?

When it is time to do the PreClosing inspection, know that if you don’t list it, you may not be able to compel the builder to fix it. Therefore, it is critical you list everything! Here is a minimum list of what i believe will help you in making sure you are covered:

01 insist on having enough time to do the inspection and allow yourself enough time with no need to be anywhere else; 02 Write everything down yourself... don’t let the builder’s representative take charge; 03 Don’t rush! Don’t let the builder’s representative push you, insist at moving at you own speed; 04 Write or mark down everything, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant; 05 Don’t accept promises of repair during inspection – if something is not right, mark it down; 06 Try every light, socket, tap, drain, toilet, door, lock, window, appliance, everything that could be defective now or go wrong later; 07 Watch for stains on carpet, scratches on wood floors, cracks in paint or drywall and areas where they forgot a second coat of paint; 08 Look for water stains or spots on concrete basement floors or walls, and if you see them insist on knowing why and where they came from; 09 Don’t forget the exterior – roof, drains, bricks, mouldings. is there sod, is the grading complete and is your driveway in? Write it all down! 10 Condominiums: go check out the common areas – lobbies, garbage rooms, parking areas, lockers, pools, tennis courts and health clubs. Remember, you own part of the common area, and if parts are incomplete, wrong or defective, put them on the list! Remember that this inspection is, in all probability, the only chance you have to deal with deficiencies, so make sure you check carefully. Some readers ask about what happens if the builder rushes them or something happened so they did not get the opportunity to finish. The answer is to immediately do a complete list and send it to the builder and to Tarion in order that the record is on file. There is probably more and i do not suggest that this list is complete. i hope it helps in making you realize how important it is to do a thorough job on the PreClosing inspection.

What’s available and What it Costs Sales and price growth in York Region/Lower Simcoe County followed the broader trend for the GTA in March, with sales down on a year-over-year basis and the average selling price up. Total transactions reached 1,594 during the month, a 23 per cent decline from last year. It should be noted that some of the decline in sales was due to fewer working days this past March compared to March 2012 because the Good Friday holiday fell in March this year compared to April in 2012. “While some would-be home buyers decided to put their decision to purchase on hold in response to stricter mortgage lending guidelines, it is important to note that home ownership has remained affordable

for a household earning the average income in the GTA. This is why we continue to see enough demand relative to supply to prompt annual growth in the average selling price,” noted Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. The average price for York Region/Lower Simcoe County sales in March was $583,893, representing a three per cent increase from the average of $565,618 reported during March 2012. “The expectation is that we will continue to see positive price growth through the remainder of 2012, especially for low-rise home types where supply has remained tight in many areas,” continued Mercer.

First-time homebuyers showing their rational side

ccording to a national survey conducted by Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada (Genworth Canada), first-time homebuyers are adjusting to the new mortgage requirements and making informed choices about homeownership. The annual poll, completed in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Credit Counselling Services (CACCS), asked 1,514 Canadians questions about their financial well-being and preparedness. The 2013 survey revealed that there was a significant rise in the number of recent first-time buyers who say they put down more than 20 per cent on their homes (56 per cent vs. 36 per cent in the 2012 survey). In fact, the number of people that said it is getting harder to save for that down payment is on the decline (50 per cent vs. 55 per cent in 2012) with more first-time buyers finding it easier to save money nine per cent, up from five per cent in 2012). In addition, only 17 per cent of respondents thought it was a good time to buy, suggesting that low interest rates alone are not enough to entice Canadians to purchase a home. “Canadians entering the real estate market are making financially astute choices by saving longer and putting down larger deposits on their homes,” said Brian Hurley, Chairman and CEO of Genworth Canada. “They continue to value homeownership and are being responsible about the way they enter into mortgage debt. This trend bodes well for a soft-landing of the housing market.”

Genworth Canada releases results of homeownership study Among first-time homebuyers, the proportion saving for less than two years has decreased by nearly 30 per cent, while the proportion saving for more than five years rose by more than 50 per cent. This appears to indicate that fewer first-time homebuyers feel a sense of urgency about entering the real estate market, which is consistent with the fact that fewer expect house prices to rise in the next twelve months. “There is still a strong need for Canadians to have a better grasp on their financial situation,” said Henrietta Ross, CEO of CACCS. “More than 40 per cent don’t think their credit rating reflects them or don’t know what their credit rating is. Counselling could help ensure they are financially prepared to enter and maintain substantial investments, such as homeownership.” The interviews were conducted by Environics Research Group using an online methodology during the week of February 11 to 19, 2013. Genworth MI Canada Inc. (TSX: MIC) through its subsidiary, Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada (Genworth Canada), is the largest private residential mortgage insurer in Canada. The Company provides mortgage default insurance to Canadian residential mortgage lenders, making homeownership more accessible to first-time homebuyers. Genworth Canada differentiates itself through superior customer service, a robust risk management framework and innovative processing technology. For almost two decades, Genworth Canada has supported the housing market by providing thought leadership and a focus on the safety and soundness of the mortgage finance system. As at December 31, 2012, Genworth Canada had $5.7 billion total assets and $3.0 billion shareholders’ equity. Find out more at www.genworth.ca.

What’s available and What it Costs There was a total of 948 transactions reported through the TorontoMLS system in March for Durham Region. This result represented a year-over-year dip of 17 per cent compared to 1,138 transactions reported in March of 2012. Over the same period, new and total active listings were also down by a similar amount to sales. “Market conditions have been quite tight in Durham Region for a number of months. This situation did not change in March, because sales and listings were both down by a similar amount. This is why the average selling price in Durham continued to grow at an annual rate above the

GTA average,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price rose five per cent year-over-year in Durham to $347,055 compared to an average of $329,489 in March 2012. “Even with above-average price growth over the past year, Durham Region remains quite affordable relative to other parts of the GTA,” continued Mercer.

nvironmentally conscious living is both a conscious choice and a forced adaptation. Chances are, government agencies, my employer, my kids’ school, and even my mother-in-law has altered my treatment of the environment. So why do I feel the pressure to do more? And if I do more, how sustainable is this effort? My own family faced an internal clash of approaches to Greener Living that made me hit the “Pause” button. We decided to take a sober point of view. FOOLS RUSH IN: Going Green should be a gradual movement, not a crash diet. We have three kids a nanny and two SUVs. We produce our share of garbage and an amount of carbon monoxide I don’t want to admit to. The packaging of our kids’ toys and snacks is so enormous that on birthdays we have more cardboard, plastic and wrapping than our two large recycling bins can hold. But shifting to smaller,

more fuel efficient cars will take time. Buying snacks in bulk, using re-sealable bags and containers, versus pre-packaged smaller portions is not often a practical or affordable option. RENO –“WHAT”? Our own renovation saved energy and lowered our monthly energy bill. New windows, sliding backyard doors and the front door prevented air leakage, and made the home more comfortable for the little ones. The furnace had to go because it sounded like a tractor trailer, but like our aged air conditioner, had it operated perfectly, the added cost of replacing it wouldn’t be justifiable. IN YOUR FACE: Start with recycling. Chances are your garage, or apartment building came with a number of recycling options. As I explained to my own wife, the town we live in picks up recycling every week, but the garbage man comes once every two weeks. That huge garbage bag need not sit in our garage for two weeks, when most of the stuff in it is recyclable and can be gone in half the time. That is just a practical effort at no additional cost – a great place to start.
