Affordability, location and lifestyle Find a way to answer these homebuying questions, and you’ll likely be very happy

4 YPNEXTHOME.CA

ffordability, location, lifestyle… If you’re in the market for a new home today, these are among the most important factors to consider in your decision.

Perhaps these and other points have always been part of the homebuying equation, but there’s no question the issues are increasing in number and complexity.

Why? Economic and market conditions, interest rates, land and new home supply issues, Development Charges and other taxes are testing consumers’ affordability limits and new home wants, needs and demands.

Indeed, the rising costs of new homes today, particularly in the lowrise category, are causing homebuyers to make increasingly careful, informed decisions.

Who better to provide some guidance into these matters than some of Southwestern Ontario’s pre-eminent builders?

In our Expert Panel beginning on page 8, executives at some of the area’s most established home builders offer excellent insight to help you decide.

Potential homebuying challenges notwithstanding, SWO is a proven steady performer – especially over the long term.

Find a way to answer the affordability, location and lifestyle questions, and you’ll likely find yourself appreciating your decision for years to come.

MEET OUR HERO

VICTORIA VICTORIA’S FAMILY CALLS THEMSELVES THE UNLUCKY, LUCKY ONES. After four-year-old Victoria fell down the stairs, she was lucky to have a successful surgery at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and incredible support from her family and SickKids staff by her side.

Prior to the incident, Victoria was a healthy child. She was happy with her daily routine - going to her grandparents’ house with her brother, Alexander, until her mom, Evelyn, came to pick her up from work.

One evening, Victoria suddenly collapsed out of her uncle’s arms and fell down the stairs at her grandparents’ house. After she started vomiting at her grandparents’ house, Evelyn called the paramedics to take her to SickKids. The emergency room ordered an immediate CT scan and an MRI the next morning for a closer look. The scans revealed a brain tumour, later diagnosed as a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (JPA), even though Victoria never experienced any symptoms prior to her fall. JPA’s are one of the most common childhood tumour, but are usually identified following symptoms like headaches, vomiting and difficulty with muscle coordination. Luckily, SickKids houses one of Canada’s largest paediatric neurosurgical units specializing in treating children affected by brain and spinal cord illnesses such as brain tumours. Two weeks after the incident, on February 25, 2014, Victoria had surgery to remove the tumour. During the surgery, doctors found a cyst above the tumour, which they also successfully removed.

Although Evelyn and her husband, Peter’s journey at SickKids was scary, Victoria seems to associate the hospital with chocolate milk. While fasting on the morning of surgery, she asked her dad if she could have some, but he told her the chocolate milk cow was still sleeping. Only five hours later, Victoria woke up in the Intensive Care Unit and asked for the chocolate milk, her mind sharp as ever.

From when she fell until she went into surgery, Evelyn and Peter were concerned and had many unanswered questions about their daughter’s condition.

“The support system at SickKids was incredible. Sometimes the doctors would answer our sudden questions within minutes over email,” Evelyn said.

Since the surgery, Victoria visited SickKids six weeks later for a check-up.

Since she has made a full recovery, she only needs to visit SickKids every six months for follow up appointments.

Evelyn describes Victoria’s fall as one of the scariest moments of her life.

Although Victoria’s condition was bad luck for the family, the successful surgery and recovery along with the supportive staff at SickKids shows how lucky they really are.

BUILDERS HELPING TO HEAL Yellow Pages NextHome, the publisher of New Home Guide, New Home & Condo Guide and New Condo Guide, is teaming up with builders and their suppliers to help raise money for SickKids. The following companies have contributed generously to help give children the world-class care they deserve. These pages honour these special people, and we thank them for their generous support.

Builders Helping to Heal and Friends of the Industry are Yellow Pages NextHome initiatives stemming from SickKids Leaders, a program at SickKids which draws on the support of more than 150 volunteers over 30 industry sectors.

Again, we thank our generous sponsors and appreciate their ongoing commitment. These companies not only build housing, but they support the families in the communities in which they build.

Expert Panel

Affordability, location, lifestyle…

Today’s homebuyers face many questions. What are the most important determining factors they should consider when buying a home in 2016?

Dominic A. Bradley Sales & Marketing Director Tillsonburg Developments Inc.

“Speak with the right people to make sure you have all the facts prior to making that commitment.”

H

omebuyers today need to consider the three most important things when making a decision on purchasing their new home.

Affordability: Depending on whether you are just entering the market for the first time, are a repeat buyer or buying a retirement home, there are different issues to be considered.

First-time or repeat buyers need to consider what you can afford based on total family income, other debts and obligations, including children and other dependents.

Lifestyle: What activities is your family involved in now or in the next couple of years that require financial consideration? All these things need to be considered when setting the family budget. Then there is the question of what you are comfortable paying, because what you may be approved for by your bank or mortgage broker may not be the best amount of mortgage for you.

Committing to the maximum mortgage amount you can be approved for may lead to other sacrifices and bring on undue stress, so exercise caution when making these decisions.

Location: Where are you prepared to move to find the right home at the right price with the space and amenities you want? Many empty nesters today opt for Adult Lifestyle Communities, and even here there are different issues to consider. How much exterior work are you willing to do? Are you prepared to leave the city to accomplish you goals for retirement? Do you want condo, land lease or freehold ownership? Each comes with its own set of expenses and responsibilities.

This is why it is important to speak with the right people to make sure you have all the facts prior to making that commitment, including not only the developers marketing representative, but also other residents who already live in these communities to hear what changes they have made, why they decided to purchase there and how they feel about their choice now.

Research and detailed comparisons Stephen Stipsits President Branthaven Homes

“The market is pushing towards life-centric designs and purpose driven living spaces.”

I

n the past 45 years, nothing has changed. We’re always re-thinking and re-imagining every aspect of home building to improve how you live life. The more we know about our customer, the better home builder we become.

What we know is that today’s homebuyers are even more sophisticated than previous generations. They’re more knowledgeable of their needs and expectations, and are able to access much more detailed information online about the community and the builder’s offering than ever before.

Possibly the most important thing homebuyers can do today is take the time to research and perform detailed comparisons before purchasing. They should be looking beyond the standard finishes and typical bonus offering, and focus on finding a home with a distinct sense of personal, practical style, built with quality construction and low maintenance. Focusing on the purpose of the home and how it suits their lifestyle ultimately results in a much more rewarding home owning experience.

The market is pushing towards life-centric designs and purpose driven living spaces. Plans that promote a much more contemporary way of living – much more simplified and designed with purpose. It’s Branthaven’s dedication to be creative that also speaks to the authenticity people are looking for, and expect.

Branthaven’s visionary approach to developing and building stunning single-family homes, executive townhomes, midrise condos and master-planned communities throughout Southern Ontario has earned them a renowned home builder reputation with hundreds of local, provincial and national awards.

We bring exceptional talent, leadership and dedication to every project – it’s how we deliver on our promise to give discerning homebuyers the best built home at any price.

The last 45 years have helped Branthaven understand what it takes to provide original communities with purpose-built homes, making life easier and more rewarding.

BALDWIN PLACE WHERE RETIREMENT DREAMS ARE REALIZED

B AL DW IN P LAC E – A N A D ULT L I F ES T YL E CO MMU N IT Y

The first thing that strikes visitors taking a tour of Baldwin Place in Tillsonburg is the friendliness of the residents, and the real sense of community.

That community feeling leaves behind big city stress and allows you to live a full life based around a superbly designed recreation centre, and a place where the central theme is strong new friendships.

Mike and Janice Kirk are happy with their choice of Baldwin Place. “Moving here has definitely been one of the best decisions we have made. With the activities and people we've met here, the quality of life in our retirement has increased significantly.”

People move to Baldwin Place for many reasons: a big house no longer needed, heavy maintenance costs, and the need to downsize comfortably and have money left over for travel and other personal needs.

They soon realize their new home is exactly right for the time of their life.

Quality-built freehold homes with all-brick exteriors on large lots at Baldwin Place start from $244,500 (incl. HST) and there are nine models to choose from, one of which is The Surrey. The newest of our models, The Surrey, allows you many options within a basic model: choice of lot, single or double garage, an open floor concept that allows easy movement of interior walls, the placement of windows and that feeling of a custom built home of your dreams.

You’ll escape big-city traffic and headaches and be welcomed by new neighbours who will invite you to participate in the rich social life encouraged at the Baldwin Place Recreation Centre. Participate in fitness classes or join one of the many clubs – there are sure to be several that meet your needs.

Meanwhile, the other amenities you require, such as shopping and health care, are available right at your doorstep in Tillsonburg, where you’ll find the excellent Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital.

Baldwin Place is waiting for you, so come and see for yourself and meet your new neighbours.

It’s a decision you’ll never regret.

Give Baldwin Place a call now and set up a tour of our model homes.

It’s all about location Mimi Ng Vice-President, Sales and Marketing Menkes

“Where you choose to live governs proximity to work, distance to family and friends, ease of access to shopping, entertainment and community services, and even the school district for your children.”

T

he old saying about “location, location, location” has always rang true in real estate, and this year it is more appropriate than ever. For homebuyers in the Toronto marketplace today, location needs to be their number one consideration.

For many buyers, their location choice is both important and complex. Where you choose to live governs proximity to work, distance to family and friends, ease of access to shopping, entertainment and community services, and even the school district for your children.

Housing experts often talk about the “lifestyle” factor in the homebuying decision process, but the connection that some people tend to overlook is that location is ultimately the key driver of lifestyle and quality of life. The location of your home will determine if you are within walking distance of basic shopping and services, if you have access to high-quality transit options, or how long you will have to spend in your car travelling to places.

As the population of the Greater Toronto Area continues to grow, traffic congestion and commuting times will impact our daily lives more and more. If you are looking to buy a home this year, you should not just think about whether the location works for you from a commuting/travel perspective today, but to think ahead five or 10 years. Will this neighbourhood become more transit friendly? Are there any transportation infrastructure improvements in the works? If your commuting time were to increase in the future, how much more time would be acceptable?

Obviously, buyers cannot ignore the affordability factor in their homebuying decision. But in today’s housing market, the most important factor for many potential purchasers may be location. Make it a top priority, and to try to buy the best location possible within your financial means.

t’s no cliche that buying a home is the most important purchase that most people will make – because it’s the most emotional and the most expensive. There is a lot to consider, and a lot that goes into the decision.

The key is not to let it overwhelm you, which is easier said than done sometimes, especially for those who have never been through it before. You’re going to get valuable advice about what to keep in mind when shopping, and it’s going to include very important considerations such as builder reputation, price, budget and location. You will definitely want to research and plan around all of those things.

To me, however, having been through it personally, and in listening to literally thousands of our customers, there is an overriding element that, if properly considered, actually takes care of all that. It’s focusing on the needs of you and your family.

We’ve seen a trend recently, and it’s been reinforced by media coverage of the housing market, for people to view their house primarily as an investment. It’s definitely the biggest purchase of most people’s lives, but this can tend to distract from the reality that a house is not just where you live until the investment appreciates. A house is a home. So the real question is how do you turn the bricks and mortar into a place where you can make memories.

Focus on what the needs of your family are. Ask yourself questions such as: What do you truly need in your home? Is your family going to be growing, or will you be downsizing? Is a yard a must-have or would you prefer someone else look after maintenance? Is easy access to work, shopping or public transit important? What Green or sustainable features are important to you? Will you be working out of your home? Do you have multigenerational needs for the home? What community features are most important to you and your family? Your unique lifestyle needs really should drive your decisions on the type of housing you decide on, which will in turn drive considerations of price and location.

There are many different forms of housing out there today to support many types of lifestyle needs – community builders such as Mattamy offer many options (often in the same community) such as condos, townhomes, live-work units and traditional single-family homes of many shapes and sizes.

If you make good decisions grounded in what you and your family truly need from a home, that’s the most important thing. If you keep that front and centre, the process and your overall experience will be rewarding. And then, if and when you decide to sell, the market may very well reward you, too.

BUILDER STORY PHELPS HOMES

Give them some room to spread their wings!

Phelps Homes - Nobody Knows West Niagara Better!

P

helps Homes has a proud history of crafting outstanding, award-winning homes throughout the Niagara Region and Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe.

For over 40 years the Phelps family has created homes that could only be the result of a shared passion, skill and experience, passed on from one generation to the next.

Long recognized for exceptional quality and value, by home owners and home builders alike, our custom home building heritage runs deep as we remain committed to creating engaging family-friendly communities and beautifully crafted homes.

Today, in the town of Smithville and the historic hamlet of Jordan Village, the Phelps Homes tradition of delivering inviting neighbourhoods continues. With a variety of established communities that blend seamlessly into the landscapes that surround them, an exciting offering of new home buying opportunities are coming soon.

THE HOME BUILDERS’ ANNUAL 2016 31

Whoever said you can’t have it all obviously isn’t familiar with Phelps Homes. Whether you are seeking a community of well-appointed family homes, an active adult community, or an exclusive enclave of estate residences, there is likely a Phelps Homes home that perfectly fits your lifestyle.

Auburn Trail - Smithville Featuring gorgeous 2-storey family homes and our always popular bungalows on large 50-foot lots, Auburn Trail offers everything homebuyers are looking for in a new home - and more.

From sun-filled gourmet kitchens with every convenience close at hand, to modern and flowing open-concept living spaces, to larger than average direct access double car garages, this exceptional offering of unique craftsman-inspired bungalow and 2-storey homes are priced from the $390’s.

This exceptional setting takes full advantage of this refreshingly rural setting, yet is surprisingly close to everything that’s important to your lifestyle including the new St. Martin Catholic Elementary School, which is currently under construction and will be located just across the street.

Designed with first time buyers and young families in mind, 2-bedroom townhomes will range from 1,500 to 1,865 sq. ft., and are wonderfully entry level priced from the low $300’s.

Brookside and the Atwater Collection - Smithville

The Kingsway – Jordan

Nestled along Twenty Mile Creek, just a short drive to the big city amenities and award-winning wineries, these two premier adult lifestyle communities continue to be the popular choice for those looking to get the most home for their hard earned dollar.

Jordan Village has long been the destination of choice for those seeking a quiet country weekend antiquing, sampling the latest VQA offerings, enjoying casual and fine dining or just plain old relaxing.

Whether it’s one of the few remaining detached bungalows set on a 50-foot lot at Brookside, or a fabulous Atwater Collection bungalow townhome backing onto protected green space, these well-appointed homes offer all the features and finishes you’re looking for, together with the award-winning quality and value you’ve come to expect from Phelps Homes.

It’s here, at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment that Phelps Homes is preparing to introduce Kingsway at Jordan Village. Featuring a limited offering of just 25 attached towns and walkout townhomes ranging from 1,300 to 1800 sq. ft., prices will start in the $400’s.

Almost sold out, detached bungalows are available at 1764 sq. ft. and are priced from $400,000. Bungalow townhomes start at just $345,000 with floor plans ranging from 1,226 to 1,900 sq. ft.

As an added bonus a selection of quick move-in dates are available as soon as 30 days.

Life Is Just Better Here

Watch for the Grand Opening of Kingsway at Jordan Village coming this spring.

Streamside – Smithville

“In West Niagara, as with all of the Niagara Region, there’s just something you can’t find anywhere else in the province.

The weather’s a little nicer, the people a little friendlier, and the lifestyle… well, it’s just a whole lot more inviting,” shares Bill Nicholls, CFO, Phelps Homes.

Take the first step towards affordable home ownership in Smithville.

Coming this spring, this intimate collection of just 54 familyfriendly 2-storey freehold townhomes is set within Phelps Homes established neighbourhood of Streamside on the Twenty.

“It’s all about location,” he continues. “Whether you choose Smithville or Jordan, you’re just minutes to the Q.E.W. so you can be around the Lake and in Toronto in just over an hour, and at the Buffalo or Niagara Falls Airport in half that time.”

The list of seasonal and year round attractions, amenities and opportunities found within West Niagara, and the entire Niagara Region as a whole, is endless. Explore dozens of award-winning vineyards and wineries. Discover acres of fresh fruit orchards and roadside markets. Tantalize your palette with one of the many outstanding restaurant choices. If golf’s your game, there are more than 50 area golf courses to choose from.

When you consider all that these 4 communities have to offer it’s not surprising to note that a wide range of purchasers are making their move from places like Stoney Creek, Hamilton, Burlington and Mississauga.

C

elebrating its 40th Anniversary in 2016, Losani Homes of Stoney Creek, Ontario has built an enviable reputation as one of Canada’s most respected new home developers. Losani is recognized in the industry for innovative design, the highest quality construction standards and exceptional customer service.

Founded by experienced builder John Losani and his son Lino in 1976, with younger son Fred joining the team in 1985, Losani Homes prides itself on its tradition of excellence and honesty guiding all of its business practices in the development of its fine quality single family, townhomes and semis in its outstanding new home communities in Ancaster, Beamsville, Binbrook, Collingwood, Hamilton, Kitchener, Paris and Stoney Creek.

From its unique one-on-one approach to customer sales and marketing, to its meticulous Europeaninspired workmanship in every aspect of construction, and its after-sales focus on customer service, this esteemed company has been recognized with more awards in the last decade than any other builder in the areas in which it operates. Losani is proud of its designation as a Platinum Member of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. In addition, Losani Homes’ customers have awarded the company with the Consumer’s Choice Award in the categories of service, value and quality for 4 consecutive years from 2013 – 2016.

THE HOME BUILDERS’ ANNUAL 2016 35

LOCATION AND MODERN ARCHITECTURE The new home building process at Losani Homes begins with searching out the best and near-perfect locations in which to build their new communities. Infrastructure, transit, access to shops and services and community facilities such as schools, hospitals and recreational facilities are all taken into account, resulting in locations which have all the attributes needed for a family’s daily life.

Losani also takes into account the central areas for family life, including the back yard, and designs its homes and communities for the ultimate in privacy, envisioning areas for BBQs, pools and superior back yard views.

Fallingwaters on the Stoney Creek Escarpment is a prime example of Losani Homes’ care and attention to natural surroundings, and its ability to secure the best locations.

Inspired by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his historic melding of sleek and horizontal design features within a natural environment, Fallingwaters will take Losani Homes’ contemporary design capabilities to the next level.

This collection of just 41 modern towns with panoramic views will be the perfect complement to the flow of nature, sitting just a stone’s throw from where Centennial Falls tumbles down in torrents. This ideal 36 YPNEXTHOME.CA

location has downtown Stoney Creek just minutes away, surrounded by nature and views of forest, stream and pond.

In addition to the vibrant possibilities of Hamilton’s booming economy, this location is a true gift to families who wish to explore and embrace nature and the environment.

Whether hiking or biking the many kilometers of trails along the Escarpment, or visiting the dozens of waterfalls that mark the mountain, Fallingwaters is a nature lover’s delight.

Another unique community is Woodlands in mature and elegant Ancaster. This collection of 64 homes comprised of 40, 46 and 50-foot forest court lots features sophisticated singles backing onto protected conservation land.

The exceptional Château, Tuscan and Modern home designs on wooded cul-de-sacs are naturally gifted with green—truly a rare and wonderful opportunity for any growing family. Set deep amidst mature forests, back yard views at Woodlands are surrounded by an enchanting natural environment.

The Prairie Modern community in Stoney Creek offers an exclusive enclave of just 22 townhomes, featuring modern high-rise design in a low-rise product. The community is located between the picturesque Felker’s Creek and the sports fields of the Heritage Green Sports Complex, just a short stroll from the Escarpment and Felker’s Creek Conservation Area.

Simply Grand is a collection of charming

singles and towns in Paris, one of Ontario’s most livable communities and known as the “Prettiest Town in Canada”. Simply Grand offers a limited collection of freehold towns and singles on 32, 42 and 50-foot lots.

EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN AT AFFORDABLE PRICES The three-man family partnership at Losani Homes know the construction industry intimately, allowing the Losanis to get the most reputable and skilled tradespeople and suppliers, and to negotiate the best possible prices. This cost-saving effort is passed onto the future home buyer in the form of a high quality, yet affordable finished home.

Losani has always been known for excellence in design, offering homes which have a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship with the features and finishes necessary in today’s modern world. Fluid and flexible floor plans form the centrepiece of family life allowing for efficiency in everyday living.

BOUTIQUE SALES EXPERIENCE Losani is a homebuilder with a bright and optimistic future, yet grounded by the best business practices and traditions of the past.

New thinking and new approaches are always at the forefront, but Losani Homes never

loses sight that attention to detail in exceptional customer service, pre-sale and after-sale, is what sets them apart, taking pride in their unique and personal approach to sales and marketing.

PRONTO ‘HOMES ON DEMAND’ Losani’s innovation in one-on-one customer service is best represented by its recently introduced and revolutionary Pronto Homes On Demand, Ontario’s largest ready build program.

Pronto Homes On Demand is individual in its approach to marketing and allows purchasers guaranteed closing dates and prices, the two biggest concerns when purchasing a new home.

New homes in the program are about 30% constructed, or in some cases 100% complete, allowing purchasers to walk through, touch, feel and experience the actual home they may purchase as it is being constructed, and often they can move into those homes in 30, 60 or 90 days.

Family-owned and recognized through the industry for honesty, quality, and integrity, Losani Homes will never waver from its original traditional values and guiding principles. Their commitment to innovative design and superior customer service guarantees will guide the company through its exciting future.
