Eliminate the

hether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your first place from your parents’ house, changing homes can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax. You can eliminate the anxiety associated with moving by taking control of the situation with confidence. Understanding the market is just part of the story. Knowing what you need and what you can afford is the more important part of the equation. Making a prudent purchasing decision that doesn’t keep you up at night when interest rates rise or market news becomes the talk of the town is up to you. Any expert will tell you that buying a home or condo is a long-term commitment. This issue is full of great tips and the latest news designed to help you make a wise purchasing decision. So kick back, relax and enjoy. You’re in the driver’s seat.

p Expert advice

hELpS buyErS

eople often talk about the perils and priorities of first-time buyers. It can almost feel condescending at times. If you’re capable of saving up for a down payment and mature enough to take that first step, it stands to reason you’re able to do your homework too. Meanwhile, there are a lot of repeat buyers, sizing up, sizing down and in change-of-life situations from divorce to job relocation, that may be facing the challenge and need some expert advice too. That good advice isn’t limited to the first-timers. When purchasing a home, expert advice never hurts. In fact, there are very few people that go through the process of buying and selling homes often enough to become seasoned. The experts are the Realtors who have closed many, many deals. This is why having a good agent – one you feel will understand and look after your needs – is vital. It’s hard to understand the financial reality of home ownership, and impossible to be an expert on every facet of homeownership, from electrical and plumbing to code, pest control, construction materials and window casements. There’s no one-size-fitsall map to homeownership, but there are a lot of articles and professionals that can help in each of these areas. A combination of a good agent and a strong understanding of the process through research and expert advice – like the articles featured in Resale Home & Condo Guide – will help prepare you for that purchase.

What’s available and What it Costs There were 3,591 sales reported through the Toronto MLS system for the City of Toronto in April, representing a six per cent decline from the 3,835 reported in April 2012. In line with the broader GTA trend, the supply of homes for sale was up on a year-over-year basis. “Transactions have slowed and the supply of listings have increased in the City of Toronto since midway through 2012. Market conditions have remained tight enough to prompt moderate upward pressure on selling prices. The average sale price-to-list price ratio was still 100 per cent in April and the average time a home remained on the market was only 23 days. Price growth has been driven more so by the low-rise segment of 12

the market, where there remains substantial competition between buyers,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s senior manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price in the City of Toronto was $576,315 – up one per cent from $568,179 April 2012. “The annual rate of average selling price growth in the City of Toronto was less than that reported for the surrounding GTA regions. Part of the reason for this is the high concentration of condominium apartments in the City. The price trend for condos has been more or less flat due to an increase in listings over the past year,” Mercer added.

Buying your first

home By ya n gu r e v ic h

our first home purchase is a lot like buying your first car. Granted, unless your first home is on wheels, you are not likely to wreck it on your possession date, but the decision process is very similar. In the 80’s my friends wanted the new powerful 5.0 Litre Mustang, or the Knight Rider car. Some just had to get the stylish Honda Prelude. Sure Crockett zipped around on our TV screens in a hot black Ferrari, but I didn’t see any of my friends pull into the lot in one of those at my high school. The typical first time home buyer should start with an entry level model – excuse me – home, first. Once you get a feel for the lifestyle you want to lead, and the cost of carrying the first home, not to mention how well your career is going, then like your first car, you will soon be ready to trade up. TesT Drive: Small family, just you, or starting out a relationship, it is almost impossible to know how your lifestyle will change from one year to the next. Keep it simple until you know where you are going. See how the real estate market is doing, and if you really need a more expensive, larger property, think of it as a first home test drive. Once you get the feel for it, you may find it suits your purpose, or if your life takes a sudden turn, you can quickly find another first time home buyer to buy it from you. But it need not be the home of your dreams right out of the gate. FanTasy vs. realiTy: Since Knight Rider days, I dreamt of my ideal car to drive. What did I get to drive as soon as I got my license? My dad’s Pontiac Parisian. Guess what? Not too sexy, but had lots of power, lots of room for my friends, and gas prices were low enough for me to get downtown and back. You may want the 1,500 square foot loft overlooking the lake, but there is nothing wrong with taking baby steps. What are you trying to prove? Fancy sports cars are not like fancy homes. You can take any simple entry level property and turn it into a fashion statement. Size, location, and price point, may not matter to your friends as much as you think. Like a lower entry car that you can customize to

the extent of your imagination, your entry level home can be the ideal hangout pad, if you put some thought to it. in For a gooD Time, noT a long Time: Like a car lease, think of your first home and mortgage as a temporary commitment, until you can either afford another, or are forced to move. Statistically, over the last couple of decades or so, Canadians have moved, or at least refinanced their homes in less than five years from date of purchase. You can think of your home as a lease with an option to buy. You may not opt to lease a car with all the accessories just to pay a much larger bill each month, if you were planning to return it at end of lease anyway. Once you do get into your new home, here are quick ‘musts’ that I always urge my clients to do immediately. Replace all the toilet seats. Change shower heads to suit your required water pressure and spray style. Replace all air and water filters. Steam clean carpets, and if necessary, get your ducts and eaves cleaned right away. Re-key all your locks. This involves a locksmith taking out the cylinder of your lock, changing the key pins and cutting new keys for the family. Have more suggestions for a new home buyer?

After a slow start, demand for luxury homes is regaining momentum in most major centres, says RE/MAX

Six Canadian markets set records for upper-end sales in the first quarter

he advent of the traditional spring market is serving to narrow the year-over-year gap for luxury home sales in most major Canadian centres, despite more muted activity in January and February, according to a report released today by RE/MAX. Eight out of the 16 residential housing markets examined in the RE/MAX Upper End Report were on par or ahead of year-ago levels, as of March 31st, while records were set for first-quarter sales in six markets. By far the strongest appreciation occurred in Calgary, where the number of luxury homes sold was up close to 50 per cent, compared to the same period in 2012. Edmonton secured second place with a 41 per cent increase in high-end sales, followed by Regina (10 per cent), Saskatoon (six per cent), Winnipeg (five per cent), London-St. Thomas (five per cent), and Quebec City (three per cent). Demand for luxury product also remained solid in Hamilton-Burlington during the first three months of the year, with sales on par with peak 2012 levels. For the second consecutive year, Greater Toronto secured the top spot for the greatest number of upper-end sales in the first quarter. “Activity in the luxury segment is quite healthy, especially when compared to years past,” says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western Canada. “In fact, most markets are performing in line

with the next best year on record – this is particularly the case in the Greater Vancouver Area. Clearly, demand has returned to more sustainable levels, and we suspect that’s where it will remain going forward.” The top end represented a greater percentage of overall residential sales in many markets in Q1 2013 in comparison to Q1 2012. In some cases, the upper-end is still outperforming the overall market in terms of percentage increases in unit sales. Affluent purchasers remained committed to homeownership, with many taking advantage of historically attractive interest rates, and in some instances, lower housing values, to make their moves. Equity gains have also factored into the equation, given substantial increases in housing values over the past decade. “Momentum is clearly starting to build,” says Gurinder Sandhu, Executive Vice President and Regional Director, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “A growing number of purchasers are moving off the sidelines and into the market – even in centres that reported a dip in first-quarter sales. All the indicators are pointing to a traditional spring market poised for considerable growth.” The RE/MAX Upper End Report 2013 also found sales of upscale homes in at least 12 of the 16 major centres are expected to match or exceed the previous year by year-end. Given the stranglehold weather has had on real estate markets during the first quarter, pent-up demand should play a role in the months ahead. The only exceptions are Montreal, KitchenerWaterloo, Vancouver and Victoria, where a number of factors are contributing to delayed improvement in the upper end. These include economic concerns, diminished demand, and higher inventory levels. The upcoming election in British Columbia has also prompted some homebuyers to put their purchasing decisions on hold. Overall sales in the upper-end should return to more normal levels of activity in the days and months ahead, as buyer intentions rise. According to a recent report by

RNR Market Research, the volume of Canadian High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) – typically those with investable assets of $1 million or more – rose by 7.7 per cent in 2012. The segment is forecast to grow by 29 per cent, reaching 544,000, by 2017. “While off peak levels, luxury sales remain strong,” says Sylvain Dansereau, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Quebec. “We may not be setting records to the extent that we saw in 2012, but solid demand and confidence continue to underpin the upper end segment— best illustrated by the new benchmarks set in more than one third of all markets examined.” HiGHliGHtS: Local buyers are still

the predominant force at the upper end, yet foreign investors continue to have an impact on the market. Demand has tapered from peak levels reported in years past particularly in the Greater Vancouver Area—but international buyers from Asia, Russia, and the Middle East are expected to play a

role in the market in years to come. The relative stability of Canada, coupled with its sound banking practices, remain the impetus for many foreign buyers. Improvement to the country’s housing stock is unprecedented. Infill and renovations continue in most markets, propping up average values across the board. The country’s most expensive upper-end sales in the first quarter – an $18.6 million single-family estate and a 5,700 sq. ft. condominium at $8 million – were both located in Vancouver’s Westside. The most expensive property currently listed for sale in Canada can be found on Marine Drive in West Vancouver. It is listed at $28.888 million. The country’s priciest condominium is located in the Cordova area of Vancouver’s Westside. The asking price is $28.8 million.

Buying your first home: your offer B y J a y s o n s c h wa r z

Your offer for purchasing a property is important. The specifics included in an offer stipulate what you get with the home. The following should be included in your offer:

time to search title It does not hurt anyone to give your lawyer up to five days before closing to send in requisitions. For some reason, real estate agents don’t get this.

Dimensions Ensure the offer lists the frontage and depth. Walk the boundaries and see where they are. Get a survey and check the measurements. Ensure you are getting what you are supposed to be getting, especially in older areas of the city.

extra clauses a) Make sure you have a current survey (within the last five years) showing all structures on the property including pools and decks. b) If you do not have your financing finalized then make the offer conditional on financing. c) Make sure the offer is conditional on a building inspection meeting your discretionary approval. d) Ensure that the vendor is responsible for compliance with all City requirements at his or her cost prior to closing. e) Make the transaction conditional for a given period of time on your lawyer’s review and approval. This gives you an opportunity to see your lawyer, get suggestions, changes, and explanations and then return and negotiate. If you are purchasing a resale condominium there are a few extra things to consider:

Price, DePosit & sPecial conDitions Some agents use a schedule for this and frankly, it’s not a bad idea as it keeps the offer neat. chattels anD Fixtures A fixture is something attached to the house that ordinarily cannot be moved without doing damage – things like the air-conditioner, furnace, pot lights and the like. Generally you get everything except what is specifically excluded. Chattels are things like the drapes, fridge, stove, washer, dryer and chandeliers. Normally you need to list all of the things you are getting. If it’s not listed, it’s not yours! 38

status certiFicate Make the offer conditional on the vendor supplying you with a new

status certificate and provide three banking days minimum after receipt to review and approve same in your absolute discretion. reserve FunD stuDy Ask for this in the offer because if there is one, it may reflect an increase in your common expenses and reserve fund contributions. Parking anD storage Make sure that you know ahead of time and it is in the agreement as to whether you are purchasing ownership of the parking and/or the bicycle storage unit.

Majority of ontarian Homeowners don’t think about insurance before they renovate TD Insurance survey shows Ontario homeowners don’t have all the facts on home renovations

ou have hired a contractor, approved the plans and ordered new appliances – but are you really ‘reno ready’? Research from TD Insurance has found the majority of Ontario homeowners are not considering the insurance implications of their renovations: only 6 per cent checked their policy to ensure they were covered during their latest renovation and just 14 per cent asked their insurer if their policy needed an update following their upgrades. “Whether you’re installing water-efficient plumbing or simply new cabinetry, before you pick up a hammer or drill, it’s important to understand and learn more about the insurance implications of upgrading your home,” says Dave Minor, a vice president at TD Insurance. “For example, while being handy around the home is convenient for upgrades such as painting or installing crown molding, more challenging projects like tackling the electrical work yourself could actually invalidate your insurance policy. Speaking with your insurance provider can be a quick way to help clarify the unknown.”

Dave Minor busts three common home insurance myths and offers advice for handy homeowners to consider before upgrading their abode: Myth #1 “My home will be covered under my original insurance policy during renovations”

Forty-eight percent of Ontario homeowners incorrectly believe they will always be covered by their original home insurance policy while their home is being renovated, and 27 per cent are unaware that moving out for more than 30 days during renovations requires a policy update. “Upgrades requiring extensive work, such as adding an extension to your home, may require you to change your entire policy to a building under construction,” says Minor. “And, if you’re not living in your home during renovations, it becomes an easier target for thieves and undetected water damage, which is why your insurer may require you to secure a vacancy permit if you move out for more than a month.”

Many OnTarIO hOMeOwners DOn’T knOw whIch renOvaTIOns can Decrease preMIuMs, buT are wIllIng TO fInD savIngs: 84 per cenT saID They wOulD be lIkely TO Make cerTaIn upgraDes TO TheIr hOMe If They cOulD save MOney On Insurance preMIuMs In The lOnger TerM.

Myth #2 “If my contractor is injured

on my property while working, his insurance will cover it”

Contractors are trained professionals, but accidents can and do happen. However, 38 per cent of homeowners in Ontario incorrectly believe that if a contractor is hurt on their property while working, they will not be liable. “If a contractor or their employees are injured on your property, you could be liable for their medical bills, lost wages, or damages for pain and suffering - all out of your own pocket,” says Minor. “When choosing a builder, ask to see their public liability insurance certificate. The amount of insurance coverage they have would depend on the type of renovation, the number of employees and cost of the renovation. The higher the limits of coverage, the more protection you would have.” Myth #3 “Renovations don’t affect my insurance coverage”

Many Ontario homeowners don’t know which renovations can decrease premiums, but are willing to find savings: 84 per cent said they would be likely to make certain upgrades to their home if they could save money on insurance premiums in the longer term. “Simple renovations like installing security devices, such as alarm systems and deadbolts, or fixing your weathered roof may decrease your premiums,” says Minor. On the other hand, many homeowners in Ontario don’t know the types of renovations that can impact their premiums: 55 per cent don’t know that installing granite countertops or expensive appliances could increase their premiums, and one-in-five are unaware that upgrading your electrical system or replacing a weathered roof could lower your premiums.

“Remember, anything that may impact the value of your home or probability of a claim will also affect what and how much insurance coverage you need,” says Minor. “Although water proofing your basement may not be as exciting as new stainless steel kitchen appliances, these types of renovations can help protect your home and belongings. It’s always a good idea to talk to your insurance provider to understand more about your coverage.” Looking to learn more about home insurance? Visit the TD Insurance Learning Centre for more information. About the TD Insurance Survey TD Insurance commissioned Environics Research Group to conduct an online custom survey of 2,748 Canadians aged 18 and older, including 654 homeowners in Ontario who have insurance. Responses were collected from February 7 to 18, 2013. About TD Insurance TD Insurance offers a wide range of products to help protect clients from the ‘accidents of life’ including credit protection, auto, home, health, life, and travel insurance. With more than 3 million clients, TD Insurance authorized products and services are available through a network of more than 1,150 TD Canada Trust branches, the Internet and telephone.

tips for buying

a second property

re you dreaming of spending summers at a lake-front cottage? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to own a home as an investment? Whatever your reason for wanting to purchase a second property, knowing your financing options before you buy is crucial to avoid surprises down the road. “Financing the purchase of a second property can be complicated at first glance,” says Farhaneh Haque, regional sales manager, Mobile Mortgage Specialists, TD Canada Trust. “A team of experts such as your mortgage lender, real estate agent or builder and insurer can take you through the process and help you decide what you can afford.” Three Things To consider:

You may be able to use the equity in your home as a down payment for your second property. Using this equity you’ve built up is one way to contribute to the minimum 25-per-cent down payment required for investment and cottage properties.

If you need financing, set up a new mortgage for your second property. Also, you must have sufficient income to carry all debts, including your primary residence. For most investment and vacation properties, financing can be provided using a standard mortgage. All of the different options and terms available when financing your primary residence are also available on your second property.

Most insurance policies for vacation homes are “named perils” versus “comprehensive” policies. Named perils means you have protection for specific risks named in the policy such as fire or smoke damage. Other risks like water damage or vandalism can be more difficult or expensive to obtain coverage for because there isn’t someone living there year round, which increases the security risk. Insurers such as TD Insurance will work with you to determine what the best policy is for you and explain what each term means. More information is available online at tdcanadatrust.com. NC

Dear younger self: look before you leap into home ownership RBC Royal Bank provides tips to combat common home buying pitfalls. ON THIS PAGE PictureD right

RBC Royal Bank provides tips to combat common home buying pitfalls inspection are among the top mistakes homebuyers make: RBC poll

he majority (60 per cent) of Canadian homeowners admit they made at least one mistake when they bought a home, according to the 20th Annual RBC Home Ownership Poll. Asked to list up to three scenarios as their top mistakes, Canadians pointed to significant renovations needed to the property (15 per cent), not having a bigger down payment (14 per cent), and lack of a home inspection (13 per cent). “Unfortunately we don’t get a ‘do-over’ when buying our first home, so it’s important to arm yourself with the right advice to avoid unexpected financial costs down the road,” said Rachel Wihby, strategy manager for First-Time Homebuyers at RBC. “Skipping a home inspection or rushing a home purchase are cautionary tales for prospective homebuyers, especially younger and first-time purchasers.”

SignifiCant RenovationS, Small down paymentS and no home inSpeCtion aRe among the top miStakeS homeBuyeRS make: RBC poll Homeowners also cited purchasing too quickly (11 per cent) and failing to account for extra costs or total cost of home ownership (10 per cent) among some of the wrong moves made during a home purchase. Younger Canadian homeowners (ages 18 to 34) were more likely than the average Canadian to list not having a bigger down payment as a mistake (21 per cent vs. 14 per cent national), according to the poll. A larger percentage of younger Canadian homeowners also did not think about future family and space needs 50

(13 per cent vs. eight per cent national). Affordability and saving for a down payment top concerns for first-time buyers The “mistakes” are consistent with some of the common concerns that current prospective first-time buyers face, who say they haven’t purchased yet because they weren’t able to afford it (46 per cent) or they were saving for a large down payment (32 per cent). Among these prospective buyers, almost two-thirds (62 per cent) anticipate their down payment will represent up to 10 per cent of the home’s value. Half (53 per cent) said it would take up to three years to save enough for a down payment. This time line fits with an earlier RBC news release that showed four-in-10 Canadians (40 per cent) planning to enter the housing market over the next two years will be first-time homebuyers. Many first-time buyers will use their savings accounts and RRSP/ TFSA for a down payment Aside from taking out a mortgage, prospective buyers expect to fund their home purchase by putting money aside in a special saving account (48 per cent), using their RRSPs (25 per cent), using a tax-free savings account (23 per cent) or delaying other big purchases such as a car or vacation (17 per cent). “Buying a home is typically the biggest financial decision that most people will ever make, so it’s important to plan ahead and keep emotions in check. Seek expert advice every step of the way and leave some wiggle room in your budget for unexpected costs,” added Wihby. The survey found that prospective first-time buyers were most interested in a combination/

About the rbc 20th AnnuAl home ownershiP Poll

RBC is one of the largest residential mortgage lenders in Canada. With over 1,400 mortgage specialists across Canada, RBC has helped thousands of Canadians find a home. As the country’s number one source of financial advice on home ownership, RBC conducts consumer surveys as one way to provide insight to Canadians about the marketplace in which they live. These are some of the findings of the RBC’s 20th Annual Home Ownership poll conducted by Ipsos Reid between January 31 and February 8, 2013. The annual online survey tracks Canadians attitudes and behaviours regarding homebuying and home ownership. The results are based on a sample where quota sampling and weighting are employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the actual Canadian population according to Census data. Quota samples with weighting from the Ipsos online panel provide results that are intended to approximate a probability sample. An unweighted probability sample of 3,005 adult Canadians, with 100 per cent response rate would have an estimated margin of error of ±3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population.

halton region

peel region/ orangeville

City of toronto

Sales rose 18 per cent in Halton Region to 769 compared to 651 transactions reported in April of 2012. At the same time, active listings rose 26 per cent to 1,502 and new listings rose 20 per cent to 1,235. “In April, Halton was the strongest region in the GTA for year-over-year sales growth. The area has plenty of diversity in its low-rise housing stock, thus attracting buyers with varying housing needs. Buyers can find everything from luxury estate properties to homes pointed at first-time buyers,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s senior manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price in Halton for April sales was $583,109, a three per cent decline from the $599,694 reported in April 2012. “While the market has become bettersupplied, with listings growing at a faster rate than sales, this on its own was not responsible for the dip in the average selling price. Instead, there also appears to have been a compositional shift in the type of homes sold, with fewer very expensive houses sold this year compared to last. This is evident based on the fact that the MLS HPI Composite Benchmark Price, which is based on an apples-to-apples comparison of home attributes, was up by approximately 4.5 per cent,” Mercer continued.

In April, sales for Peel Region/ Orangeville fell three per cent to 2,141 from the 2,208 transactions recorded during the same month last year. Inventory continued to rise, with active listings up 25 per cent and new listings up 16 per cent. “Despite recent headwinds brought on by the introduction of stricter lending guidelines last July that caused some households to put their home-buying decision on hold, sales held up quite well in April. It is expected that an increasing number of households who temporarily postponed their decision to purchase are going to move back into the market later this year,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s senior manager of Market Analysis The average selling price in Peel Region/Orangeville was $456,944 – a four per cent increase from April 2012 when the average selling price was $441,195. “The supply of homes for sale in April through the Toronto MLS system in Peel Region was up compared to last year and sales were down. This means that buyers benefitted from more choice and, as a result, the average selling price grew at a slower pace in comparison to the rate of growth reported in April 2012,” Mercer continued.

There were 3,591 sales reported through the TorontoMLS system for the City of Toronto in April, representing a six per cent decline from the 3,835 reported in April 2012. In line with the broader GTA trend, the supply of homes for sale was up on a year-over-year basis. “Transactions have slowed and the supply of listings have increased in the City of Toronto since midway through 2012. Market conditions have remained tight enough to prompt moderate upward pressure on selling prices. The average sale price-to-list price ratio was still 100% in April and the average time a home remained on the market was only 23 days. Price growth has been driven more so by the low-rise segment of the market, where there remains substantial competition between buyers,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s senior manager of Market Analysis. The average selling price in the City of Toronto was $576,315 – up one per cent from $568,179 April 2012. “The annual rate of average selling price growth in the City of Toronto was less than that reported for the surrounding GTA regions. Part of the reason for this is the high concentration of condominium apartments in the City. The price trend for condos has been more or less flat due to an increase in listings over the past year,” Mercer added.

Buying your first home is a very exciting time in your life and a smart investment for your future. since this will likely be one of the biggest investments you will make during your life, my goal is to help you be well prepared before you set foot into any home. if you don’t want to find yourself stuck in the middle of a homebuyer’s worst nightmare, there are three key people that you should be working with: a real estate agent, a mortgage broker and a home inspector. Working with this trio will put you on the right track to a successful purchase. R e a l e s tat e a g e n t your real estate agent is the person who is going to guide you through the home-purchasing maze. Find one who you can trust. ask your friends and family if they can refer you to anyone they had a good experience with in the past. you should interview at least three real estate agents so you can decide who is best suited to meet your needs. Don’t be shy, go ahead and ask them lots of questions! How long have they been selling real estate? are they familiar with the area you are looking to buy in? are they full-time or part-time agents? this will be important depending on how motivated you are to buy. if you are looking to buy in a short period of time, work with a full-time agent so that they can dedicate the necessary time to get you into your new home quickly. MoRtgage BRokeR Financing is extremely important in the purchase of your new home, and doing it right can save you thousands of dollars. Most people will need to get a mortgage and there are two main ways of getting one: through a bank or through an independent mortgage company. in both instances, you work with a mortgage broker who will give you advice on which mortgage meets your needs. the broker will work with you to get you pre-approved and help figure out how much you can afford. if you decide to get your mortgage through the bank, shop around for the best deal. it’s a competitive market so get rate quotes from as many financial institutions as you can. independent mortgage brokers will do this research for you and present you with a range of mortgage rates and options. 58

HoMe InspectoR although you won’t need a home inspector until you find that dream home, you’ll want to make sure you have one close at hand. you never know how fast you will need to move to get the house you have fallen in love with. since home inspections have become the norm in any home purchase, finding a good inspector has actually become difficult. there are unqualified home inspectors out there preying on buyers who don’t know the difference. Buyer beware! Check that the inspector belongs to your provincial association of home inspectors and the Canadian association of Home inspectors. you’ll want a Registered Home inspector with the right credentials.

TREBtalk

At REALTOR

QUEST

egardless of the sector in which you work, we probably agree that staying at the top of one’s game demands dedication to ongoing professional development. This is particularly true for Realtors, who work amid evolving regulatory requirements and technology advancements to represent your interests in one of life’s most significant transactions. To support them in their efforts, the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) hosts an annual conference called REALTOR QUEST. Thousands of TREB Members took part in this year’s conference, which took place May 1st and 2nd at the Toronto Congress Centre. Complimentary professional development sessions were held throughout the two-day gathering to help your Realtor keep pace with the latest statistical information, technology tools, condominium matters, commercial real estate topics and more. Another cornerstone of the conference, Canada’s largest real estate tradeshow, featured 250 exhibits throughout more than 280,000 square feet of space. While plenty of information on the latest tools and services to support your transaction was on offer, so too were MLS technology tips and the opportunity to take part in lobbying efforts.

One issue on which Greater Toronto Realtors have tirelessly advocated your interests is the Toronto Land Transfer Tax. To take part in our efforts to scrap this unfair tax visit www.LetsGetThisRightToronto.ca Recognizing that a healthy lifestyle helps your Realtor better serve you, the conference also included a health component with a range of wellness screenings like hearing, lung capacity and gait assessments, complimentary massages and an Oxygen Bar. Providing the right work/leisure balance, the tradeshow’s centre stage featured entertainment that included a steel pan band performance by students from Lord Dufferin Public School, one of the 17 local schools that Greater Toronto Realtors support through the Children’s Breakfast Program.

It is just one of the many charitable causes that your Realtor supports throughout the Greater Toronto Area. In fact, those in attendance at the conference’s general meeting voted for the sixth consecutive year to support the REALTORS Care Foundation’s Every Realtor campaign, translating into a donation of more than $430,000 to support shelter-related charities in Ontario. One Realtor whose volunteerism really stands out is Javaid Ali Khan – he took home TREB’s Community Service Award this year. Other Realtors were also honoured: George Sachs and Dianne Speer for their committee service, and Anne Briscoe and Joe DeLeo who received honourary life awards, and Peter Brady who received a Commercial merit award. David Chilton, author of The Wealthy Barber and the newest panelist on CBC’s Dragon’s Den, served as another of the conference’s many highlights, as he offered his insight into responsible financial management in the meeting’s keynote address. Funnyman Colin Mochrie kept things light and kept everyone laughing. The event every year gets bigger and bigger, and is just another example that Realtors are committed to their professional development and profession. The next time you meet with a Greater Toronto Realtor ask them about the many ways they keep up to date on the latest tools and information in the profession, while working to fostering healthy communities – you may be surprised at all of the ongoing efforts that take place to provide for a successful

transition to your next great neighbourhood. For more information on the GTA resale housing market visit www.TorontoRealEstateBoard.com

What’s available and What it Costs Toronto MLS transactions reported for York Region/Lower Simcoe County followed the dominant GTA-wide trend in April, with sales down by two per cent year-over-year to 2,106 transactions. The level of inventory was up over the same period. “Some households who put their decision to purchase on hold because of stricter mortgage lending guidelines remain on the sidelines. This is a key reason why sales are down compared to last year. However, the situation is improving and the expectation is that an increasing number of households will move back into the market in the second half of 2013,” noted Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. 64

The average price for York Region/Lower Simcoe County transactions in April was $587,372 – up by three per cent compared to the average of $570,134 recorded in April 2012. “York Region/Lower Simcoe County will continue to experience positive price growth this year. The pace of price growth will be more moderate in comparison to 2012, as buyers continue to benefit from more choice,” continued Mercer.

Boomers risk straining finances to support boomerang kids: Td poll TD CanaDa TrusT parTners wiTh family relaTionship experT Gary DirenfelD wiTh aDviCe on applyinG TouGh finanCial love Many parents feel the need to give financial support to their grown children well into adulthood, from welcoming them back home after graduation day to helping them pay off their credit card. In fact, one-in-five Boomers (19 per cent) admit they would consider putting their own security and financial future at risk to help support their adult children. New research from TD Canada Trust shows the majority of Boomer parents have financially supported their adult children in some capacity. They have let them live at home rent free (43 per cent), subsidized big purchases like a new car or computer (29 per cent), contributed to monthly bills like groceries and rent (23 per cent), and helped pay off their credit card or other debt (20 per cent). John Tracy, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust, warns too much financial support – coupled with mortgage payments, retirement savings, and even elder care – could put a serious strain on Boomers’ finances. “Today’s high youth unemployment, increasing postsecondary education costs and high property prices means many young people are more likely to rely financially on their parents well into adulthood,” said Tracy. “As a parent, it’s natural to want to help when children struggle with finances,

but it’s important this support does not compromise your own financial stability and retirement savings goals.” Family relationship expert and social worker Gary Direnfeld said a little tough love is essential to avoid a cycle of dependency and to maintain healthy family dynamics. “Some parents worry too much about being liked by their kids, but as parents it’s our job to teach our children financial independence so they learn how to cope with frustration, overcome adversity and appreciate the value of a dollar,” Direnfeld said. “Even if money is not an issue, setting boundaries and knowing when to say ‘no’ from the time kids are young will help develop responsible young people, so we don’t end up with a generation of dependent adults.” Additional advice from Tracy and Direnfeld on how boomer parents can practice tough love when it comes to family finances: 1. Have open and honest conversations : “Don’t assume that everyone is on the same page; be clear on what you are and are not willing to support financially,” said Tracy. For example, if grown children move back home, will they be responsible for paying rent or covering any household expenses, and what are the implications if downsizing is a future consideration? “If the support strains your finances, share those concerns and explain the basis for your decision to cut back or say ‘no,’” Direnfeld said. “The big challenge is withstanding the initial

backlash and staying firm. Depending on the circumstances, some families find it useful to seek support from a third party, like a financial advisor or social worker.”

3. Budget and plan for generosity: Fifty-four percent of parents estimate that even though their adult children are not attending school, they provide between $100 and $300 each month in financial support. The research also found 18 per cent of parents have helped their children with the down payment on their first home. Regardless of how much support parents offer, Tracy says it’s crucial to budget for it. “Before helping with a down payment, speak with a financial

4. Be a role model and teach financial literacy: Tracy and Direnfeld agree that teaching children about money from a very young age can help prevent a cycle of dependency. But, for parents who feel the strain of supporting adult children today, they recommend firm but measured action. “Parents should gradually shift their role from financial aid to financial coach, and help their kids establish a plan to get their expenses under control and pay down debts,” said Tracy. Direnfeld adds that grown children need to understand independence means owning their own consequences, and he says parents should let their children learn this lesson through experience rather than making a decision to support them out of guilt. “Being a role model is only as good as the example you set; let your children see that you hold them accountable for their own decisions,” said Direnfeld.

2. Pay yourself first: Tracy says it is vital to prioritize retirement savings in peak earning years, so parents should refer to their financial plan before lending a hand to their children. “Millennials have decades left in the workforce to earn money, but Boomers likely do not,” said Tracy. “If parents can’t support themselves in retirement, then they risk shifting the financial strain onto their children instead.” To make saving simpler, set up regular preauthorized transfers of a set amount into an RSP, and ideally, a TFSA for emergencies. Saving automatically can help parents resist the temptation to splurge on their children instead of saving for the future.”

planner and mortgage expert in tandem to understand the financial implications and, more importantly, to find out if all parties can truly afford to do it,” Tracy said. “If your child has saved a sizable down payment and proven they are ready to take on the responsibility of a mortgage, topping up their down payment could save them thousands of dollars in the long run if you have the means.”

What’s available and What it Costs There were 1,204 transactions reported through the TorontoMLS system for Durham Region in April – a two per cent increase over the same period in 2012. Meanwhile active listings were down by 18 per cent over the same period. “Market conditions in Durham Region have been quite tight relative to other regions in the GTA over the past year. This situation continued in April with sales up and listings down. Sales in Durham are up, at least in part, due to the availability of single-detached homes at a lower average price compared to the rest of the GTA,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. 68

The average selling price in Durham rose five per cent year-over-year to $357,638 compared to an average of $341,351 reported one year ago. “With sales up and listings down, competition between buyers has increased. This is why the annual rate of average price growth reported for April was up by more than the GTA average,” added Mercer.

Top tips for an energy-efficient home

s Canadians seek out new ways to reduce energy costs and help the environment, we are learning that our homes are often the first and best place to start. “There are many ways to reduce energy costs within our homes,” says Kelly McCain, an executive with Royal LePage Canada. “Thankfully, technological advancements over the past decade have helped to shrink the cost, keeping our homes comfortable while adding to their resale value.” To realize the biggest savings and return on your investment, McCain encourages homeowners to do their research and make their investments in four key areas: Invest in newer technology central heating and cooling systems. With as much as 60 per cent of your annual energy costs going toward heating and cooling your home, it makes sense to invest here. Heating and cooling systems built more than 15 years ago

Today, furnaces are more than 90 per cent efficient, a 40 per cent increase in energy efficiency over those built several decades ago. Insulate your attic. We know that heat rises and, yet, as homeowners, we often overlook the potential for energy savings in our attics. Improving or upgrading your attic insulation can save you up to 30 per cent on energy costs. Attic insulation is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, and you can often do it yourself. Let the light in during winter and block it out during summer. You can reduce the amount of energy in rooms throughout the home simply by opening shades, blinds and valances to allow natural light to come in during the cooler months, then closing them during the warmer months to shield the sun’s rays. Draft-proof your home. Get an energy audit and an auditor will conduct a blower door test to identify all leaks. You can also do this yourself with a stick of incense to find cracks and leaks as you watch the smoke move at drafty areas. Seal cracks with caulking and install weather-stripping as needed.

Label boxes containing fragile items with largered lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint: Don’t pack all your books into one box!) Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive or explosive items such as paint, gasoline and ammunition. Pack a bag of personal items, including toiletries, medicine and a change of clothes. Keep it with you.

Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbours and stores. Collect cushioning materials like bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper and newspapers to use as padding inside boxes. Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine and scissors. Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength. Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed and unpacked. List the contents of the box on its side. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home.
