Your next home, easier to find We realize there are different ways to search out that next home. That’s why we’ve made it our priority to make that home easier for you to find.

While price and size are always a big part of the equation, location will likely affect you most. Whether you want to be closer to work, important amenities or the city — or farther from it — the challenge is to find a home search tool that will provide all those answers. That’s precisely why we’ve developed maps with extensive neighbourhood data on YPNextHome.ca.

These maps make it easy to find not just a home but also see what is in the area, with stats about the community and its residents. YPNextHome.ca offers neighbourhood profiles, as well as guided tours by our team of experts — all connected to the maps, so that there’s no secondary search.

We’ve made it easy for you to familiarize yourself with a community and get valuable insights, from hot spots to proximity to the city centre.

We hope you find this experience helpful. Let us know, we’d love to hear from you!

Ontario market among leaders in 2016

Good news, Ontario homeowners and prospective homebuyers – your housing market is expected to be among the strongest in Canada this year.

For this, we can thank a reasonably strong economy and continuing low interest rates, among other factors.

The Canadian Real Estate Association, in fact, forecasts that Ontario and BC will lead the country in 2016 in terms of sales activity and price growth.

The national picture is bright, with sales forecast to grow five per cent and prices 8.4 per cent. In Ontario, sales are projected to rise 9.3 per cent, and average prices eight per cent.

BC will be tops in Canada, expected to grow more than 21 per cent in sales and 11.5 per cent in average prices.

Other markets across the country should be so lucky, with far more challenging economies and other local factors

WRHBA’s SAM Awards of Distinction Recognizing industry achievers and building excellence THE WATERLOO REGION HOME BUILDERS’

Association (WRHBA) recently marked its 20th Annual Sales and Marketing (SAM) Awards of Distinction. As the premier housing event for the region, the SAM Awards are an opportunity to pay tribute and honour the creativity, innovation and talent of builders, renovators, designers and marketers within the new home building and renovation industry.

WRHBA’s President Graem Jackson (New Lifestyle Homes Inc.) said, “(The awards are) a celebration of many things – of our history, our achievements, our successes and most importantly our people, our membership. WRHBA’s members are among the most creative in this region, and you can see from the line-up of finalists and winners that they do an exceptional job.”

A SAM award is recognized as the industry’s stamp of quality. Both industry watchers and consumers alike look for SAM Award recipients when reviewing new home construction and renovations, as there is no recognition more respected in distinguishing top-quality construction.

Marie Schroeder, WRHBA’s executive officer, said “The residential development and construction industry is a driving force in Waterloo Region and as such, it deserves recognition. Many builders have the whole package – design and marketing. It requires innovation and a lot of perseverance and resources to deliver the customer experience over the entire spectrum of the home buying process.”

WRHBA’s 2015 SAM Awards of Distinction recipients:

City Focus | LONDON

LONDON A city of growth and opportunity THE CITY OF LONDON is much

more than the hub of southwestern Ontario. True, the city of 360,000 residents (470,000 including surrounding villages and towns) is known as The Forest City for its abundance of urban forests. Yet London offers a cornucopia of sights and sounds that truly make it a beloved destination, and concurrently the perfect place to call “home.”

London’s population was boosted by 60,000 people with a 1961 annexation, and by 1976 there were 250,000 residents. Another annexation in 1991 changed the city forever.

Famous Londoners have put the city on the map in a big way. Big band leader Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians hailed from London. So do actors Hume Cronyn, Victor Garber and Rachel McAdams, Country singer Tommy Hunter, Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame’s George “Mooney” Gibson and Canadian Golf Hall of Fame’s Sandy Sommerville. More recent local heroes include 2010 Winter Olympic Ice Dancing Gold Medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.

Today, London’s demographics showcase a diverse, multicultural mosaic, with English, Scottish, Irish, German, Italian and Latin ethnic

origins all heavily represented.

London’s commercial identity demonstrates a diverse flavour.

Manufacturing, health care and social assistance, retail, education and accommodation/food services top London’s industrial chart. A combined effort from the city, the London Economic Development Corp. (LEDC), London Chamber of Commerce and Tourism London ensures the city remains vibrant in its efforts to attract business and cater to its residents who love the small-town feel within a large city.

London’s economic diversity comes from such large companies as Labatt Breweries and London Life, and it’s home to the Canadian headquarters or major production centre for 3M Canada, EllisDon, Kellogg Canada, Diamond Aircraft and Trojan Technologies. And thanks to a growing advanced communications infrastructure and well-qualified workforce, London is also the location of choice for many customer call centres.

An increasingly diverse economy has allowed London to endure cyclical downturns in certain sectors and it provides a strong base from which to expand. Manufacturing is still the largest sector, employing more than 38,000 people or about 16

per cent of the overall workforce.

The LEDC continues to aggressively pursue the sectors that have been the foundation of London’s economy in the past, including the automotive parts and food processing industries, and is also dedicated to the expanding in information technology and life sciences.

London also boasts a wealth of local attractions, such as the Western Fair Raceway, Fanshawe Pioneer Village, Boler Mountain, the Royal Canadian Regiment Museum, Museum London, Theatre London, London Regional Children’s Museum and Storybook Gardens.

While the city continues to grow, it remains affordable. The average home price in London as of the fourth quarter of 2015 was about $279,549, with two-storeys and bungalows among the popular choices. London’s north end is growing substantially.

New highrise condominiums are being erected in a rejuvenated city core. Numerous builders have long seen the potential from developing communities in the city, as Eastforest Homes, Sifton Properties and Fusion Homes have projects underway. In neighbouring communities New Hamburg, St. Thomas, Tillsonburg and Woodstock, Senator Homes, Geranium Homes, Claysam Homes,

Stonecroft Homes, Doug Tarry Homes, Fusion, Van El Condominiums and Tillsonburg Developments all have new-home offerings.

The south end of London lies at a junction of Hwys. 401 and 402, an important landmark symbolic for commerce, industry and trade, situating the town conveniently just two hours east of Detroit and two hours west of Toronto.

Healthcare and education are important to the London area.

London Health Sciences Centre, including Victoria and University hospitals, provides a growing population with health services and research. London is also home to Fanshawe College of Applied Arts & Technology, and the University of Western Ontario.

London is a big sports town, too. The University of Western Ontario Mustangs have captured numerous national titles in everything from football to squash. The London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League have a new home at the John Labatt Centre. The London Majors of the Intercounty Baseball League play at Labatt Park – the oldest baseball venue in North America. London is also known as the Golf Capital of Canada, with more than 100 public courses within an hour’s drive of the city’s core.

Neighbourhood Profile OLD NORTH LONDON The elegant heritage neighbourhood is a popular neighbourhood for staff at the University of Western Ontario, as well students who are looking for an alternative to dormitory living.

Lifestyle Healthy, active people enjoying the finer things in life is what Old North London’s all about. A very “happening” part of the city, from the sports fields to the research breakthroughs at UWO. It’s ideal for those who like the quiet life: an aesthete’s dream from an architectural standpoint, and a safe neighbourhood for people of all ages.

Vibe More stately and affluent than the trendy neighbouring areas to the south, Old North London has a distinctly respectable feel. The area is dominated by institutions, and backs onto the university’s campus via the famous Richmond Gates. It’s quiet and scenic, a refined escape from all of the excitement offered downtown.

Meet the neighbours Affluent families with children flock to Old North London, and people under the age of 19 make up almost 20 per cent of the population, according to the 2011 Census.

Married couples without children at home are well represented, and many academics (both active and Emeritus) also call the area home. Given the abundance of high-density housing and proximity to campus, it’s also a very desirable location for students.

In the area The university and its affiliate colleges offer a host of amenities that locals can access.

The University Tennis Centre, which offers lessons to all ages and league play seven days a week for adults, is very popular.

Numerous parks add to the ambience of this very green neighbourhood, including Ross, Broughdale, Tetherwood, North Branch and Doidge Park.

Planes, trains & automobiles This can be a very pedestrian-friendly area, particularly if you’re a student, with the campus in easy reach. But bigger houses mean bigger blocks, and a long walk to places like the supermarket in this heavily residential area, so most homeowners find cars necessary. Cyclists have access to a good network of bike paths linking various parts of the university to the city streets and parks.

The HHHBA

builds a mountain of toys for City Kidz THE HAMILTON-HALTON Home Builders’ Association recently held its annual Holiday Social and Toy Drive, collecting more than 100 toys that were donated to City Kidz. This toy drive was a great success, with more toys donated than last year thanks to the generous support of Association members and partners.

Every year, the HHHBA answers the call to collect much needed toys for kids in our community and every year the success of this event continues to grow.

The new toys were donated to City Kidz, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children living in the inner city. This year, City Kidz hopes to collect 4,000 new toys for children in the Hamilton community. They will distribute the gifts at their annual Christmas parties where they provide children with dinner, candy bags, prizes and a personally selected gift.

Says Allan Roshko, HHHBA president, “Our Association continuously strives to give back to our community. Being a father, I understand first-hand the joy that the holiday season brings. It warms my heart to be able to share that happiness with children who otherwise would not have experienced Christmas this year. I’m delighted by the overwhelming support of our members, bringing more toys this year than ever before.”

We are happy to report that the majority of the toys donated fit into the most needed category for kids aged 10 to 12. The HHHBA is delighted to have contributed to such a wonderful cause and inspirational organization and we would like to thank everyone who donated gifts for children in our community.
