Best builder in the bunch You’ve agreed that a new home is the way to go, but you still have another big decision to make — choosing a builder. It pays to check the reputation of the builder/developer before you sign. Start by finding out how long the company has been in business. Ask a sales representative or visit the company’s website. Next, find out if previous purchasers are happy. Drive around an existing community built by the company and talk to anyone you run into during your tour.
Visit several sales offices and model suites, and get a feel for each company and the staff. Ask a lot of questions and expect to be treated with consideration and respect. No question is too “dumb.” Think twice about any development where the salespeople push you to make a decision, or where they are not happy to provide you with the information. When you do find the right home and the right home builder, making that big decision will be a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.

As national organizations, agencies such as the Canadian Real Estate Association and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. are mandated to monitor and collect data on the housing market country-wide. Media outlets (including New Home & Condo Guide), naturally, report the information CREA, CMHC and the like discuss in their news releases. So when CREA reports that “Canadian home sales post third consecutive decline in July” – an eye-catching if not alarming summary – it no doubt gets widespread coverage.
But there is no need to accept such negative news as gospel. There really is no such thing as the “Canadian” real estate market. Sure, sales or prices might be down in one area, but they could be very healthy in another. What you really need to pay attention to is what’s going on in your area – to read beyond the headlines to assess what is happening where you live. It is essential, especially in times when we’re seeing such wide discrepancies in market conditions, to understand that real estate is local.

Guelph’s Red Carpet Release Coming soon… THE ROYAL CITY OF GUELPH IS
preparing itself for this year’s most anticipated residential community, Royal Valley, brought to you by award-winning builders CountryGreen Homes and Mikmada Homes. Conveniently located only five minutes north of Hwy. 401 in Guelph’s increasingly popular south end, Royal Valley is a commuter’s dream and a nature lover’s most desirable location to call home.
Previously Victoria West Golf Club, Royal Valley is nestled beautifully between plentiful acreage of mature trees and all nature’s treasures that go hand in hand. This exciting upcoming community has an incredible selection of qualities including, and not limited to, park facing lots, lots backing onto mature forested areas, pond facing properties and more. The beautifully designed neighbourhood will include picturesque bicycle and walking
trails for the outdoor enthusiast and is conveniently located on the bus route traveling to and from Guelph’s Downtown core and the University of Guelph. “The public interest in Royal Valley is astonishing, but comes as no surprise,” says Jack Nesbitt, president, CountryGreen Homes. “Previously golf course lands, the nature surrounding Royal Valley is second to none and merely breathtaking.” Royal Valley’s huge public

freehold towns, which we are quite certain will sell quicker than we can release them.” CountryGreen Homes and Mikmada Homes encourage VIP preregistration at royalvalleyguelph.com to receive priority information prior to its anticipated release this fall.

Advice | TARION REPORT
Make sure you deal with a registered builder By Howard Bogach
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, an Ontario man was jailed for repeatedly building and selling homes that were poorly built, unsafe and not enrolled in Ontario’s new home warranty program. In fact, the builder had his Tarion builder license taken away, but continued to sell and build new homes. How did this happen, and how can buyers protect themselves from unlicensed builders? This is called illegal building and unfortunately it is not uncommon across Ontario. It occurs when new home buyers purchase homes from people who have not been vetted and approved by Tarion, the organization responsible for regulating Ontario’s new home builders. Thankfully, Ontario’s new home warranty program can still help to protect unsuspecting consumers from illegal builders and defects in their new homes. For the past 40 years, it has been mandatory for all new home builders in Ontario to register with Tarion. The purpose of Ontario’s new home warranty program is to make sure builders are qualified to build homes and have the financial means to get the job done. It also protects consumers by providing a warranty on their new homes for up to seven years. Tarion employs a team of experienced investigators who track down, charge and prosecute illegal builders. Last year, the efforts of this team led to 105 convictions and fines of more than $330,000. Two builders were also sent to jail.
So how can buyers protect themselves from an illegal builder? Before purchasing a home, it is essential to check the Ontario Builder Directory available at tarion.com. All licensed builders are searchable, and the directory provides a 10year history of their work. Beware if your builder is not listed in this directory. Unlisted and unregistered builders may not have the technical competency to build to Ontario Building Code standards and regulations. They may also not have the financial security necessary to build homes in Ontario. In any case, if they are not registered they are very likely building illegally. When you do find the right builder, make sure your new home is enrolled in the warranty program. Every new home in Ontario must be enrolled with Tarion before it is built. Your builder must provide you with a Homeowner Information Package that explains the warranty process before or on the date of your PreDelivery Inspection, and must repair any items that fall under the warranty by certain deadlines. If they do not, call Tarion for help. Once you move into your new
home, sign up for MyHome, Tarion’s online warranty service. This allows you to easily submit your warranty forms, and will send you automatic email reminders when your warranty deadlines are coming due. You can upload photos and schedule inspections right from this portal. If you have issues with your new home and your builder is not responding to you, file a warranty form and then call Tarion. We are here to make sure that builders in Ontario fulfill their warranty obligations. If you have any questions about your new home or a potential new home purchase, we are here for you. Tarion’s warranty representatives are an essential resource for new home buyers, and can help buyers navigate the entire new home buying process. The best defence a home buyer can have against an illegal builder is getting informed about the new home warranty. Knowing your rights as a new home buying in Ontario will help prevent you from becoming a victim to an illegal builder. For resources, tips and information about your new home warranty, go to tarion.com

Property Profile | THOMAS COCHREN HOMES
The Greystones of Greensville Where custom details are only the beginning
YOU CAN SCOUR TORONTO FOR A TEAR-DOWN or reno-from-top-to-
bottom bungalow for $1 millionplus – or you can design your own custom-built Thomas Cochren home on an acre of land in the gorgeous countryside of Dundas for almost the same price. You’ll discover this rare opportunity within The Greystones, 13 custombuilt homes, atop the Niagara Escarpment in Greensville, mere minutes from the charming town of Dundas. The Greystones will be just six minutes to Starbucks where you’ll also
find shops such as Picone’s, Detour Coffee, Quatrefoil, Nellie James, Horn of Plenty, galleries, parks, annual festivals and even an art school. It goes without saying that Greensville is surrounded by greenspace with Webster’s Falls just down the hill, the Bruce Trail and conservation areas nearby. In today’s marketplace with wildly rising prices in the GTA, Thomas Cochren Homes (TCH) is offering this opportunity to live in an exclusive community on the cusp of the city in a custom dream home starting at $1.4
million – and have it move-in ready within a year. The amenities within will be just as outstanding as the surroundings. Under construction is a fabulous home notable for its copper chimney cap and cupola. Mahogany entrance and garage doors allude to the wonders inside this phenomenal façade of hand-chiseled, natural Pennsylvania fieldstone. All homes will begin with exterior finishes of natural stone, brick or cedar with architectural mouldings and trim. But the choice and ideas are always in the hands of the homebuyer as they work one on one with renowned architect John Williams of Williams Residential Design, who is using the Arts & Crafts era as inspiration. This is when your home can meet your needs with the addition of a home theatre, paneled library, indoor pool, workshop, dog shower station, guest suite or a bar, wine cellar or tasting

room complete with plumbing and millwork. Says company President Tom Cochren, “Custom homes aren’t restricted to monster homes of 10,000 feet or more.” Time, design and details are key ingredients of a TCH-built custom home. Those details continue with tongueand-groove cedar porch ceilings, decorative chimney design, custom solid wood entranceway and carriagestyle garage doors. Inside is where the true identity of buyers shines through with custom layouts and cabinetry selections in the kitchen, baths and laundry including stone counters. Trimwork includes feature archways, decorative coffered ceiling and crown moulding. Hardwood flooring is finished onsite, not in a factory, with natural stone tile in the foyer, baths, the laundry and mud room, plus solid oak staircases and railings. A freestanding tub and shower and heated floors are part of the luxury of every master ensuite, along with a gas fireplace with stone slab surround, hearth and custom mantel adding to the comfort of the family room. Central air, central vac and a heat recovery ventilator are also included. Forming three cul-de-sacs, these homes will be located where rolling hills tell their own story, and each of the 11 remaining lots offer their own unique features and topography. Homes will be tailored to their surroundings as is the custom way of TCH. Several are perfect for walkout features while others are ideal for an outdoor pool and outbuildings. A ravine setting for another lot challenges the imagination with a design that could appear to be a single level in front while dropping down several levels in the back for an outstanding vantage point. Clients of TCH generally are not new to the home building process. “We offer the custom touch they didn’t get before,” says Tom Cochren. “We build and design from scratch to give
them the home of their dreams – inside and out.” Buyers aren’t looking for model homes and a stack of plans to choose from. Unlike an urban setting, they’ve got 40,000 sq. ft. of land to work with and a home to design inspired by their needs and this setting. TCH also builds Energy Star homes offering 20 per cent more efficiency above building code requirements; and beyond to R2000 (50 per cent more energy efficiency) and ultimately Net Zero homes which are 80 to 100 per cent energy efficient above code. There is a rainwater collection cistern that can be used for irrigation. They also suggest small investments like under slab insulation and hydronic tubing rough-in for heated basement floors that can provide greater comfort and pay off in future energy costs. Thomas Cochren Homes recently received the 2015 Award of Distinction for best renovation over $350,000

SERENE WATERFRONT LIVING
There is a certain magic about living in a waterfront community. You’re keenly aware of nature and all its myriad moods, but more than anything, you gain a sense of inner peace. Living at Shelter Cove gives you all this, plus more. This gated community assures your privacy and security with controlled access. What’s more, the on site amenities are stunning. Consider your own private marina, a 5,000+ sq. ft. exclusive clubhouse, exquisite swimming pool, planned walking trails, residents’ gardens and boat and RV storage, with Selkirk Provincial Park just next door. But that isn’t all. Shelter Cove’s homes are exceptionally affordable with prices starting from $165,000, $166,000 while leasehold tenure saves you the capital outlay of a serviced building lot. It’s a smart way to live the lifestyle many others only dream about.
Shelter Cove Waterfront Community is one of the last naturally protected inlets on the north shore of Lake Erie, situated at the mouth of the Sandusk Creek. It’s within 40 minutes of Hamilton. Directions: Take the Hwy. 403 exit at the Hwy. 6 bypass to Hamilton International Airport; continue south on Hwy. 6 to Hagersville; left on King St. E./Indian Line Rd.; right on Cheapside Road to Shelter Cove on Lake Erie. Or take Hwy. 20/56 from the QEW south to Hwy. 3, west to Cheapside Road, south to Shelter Cove on Lake Erie.
Nearby amenities include shopping, quality healthcare, golf courses, fine dining establishments, orchards, wineries and more. Come visit Shelter Cove on the shores of Lake Erie. Meet your future neighbours and find out just how wonderful your life can be this close to nature.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE
Unexpected homeownership costs GST/HST New homes are subject to GST or HST on top of the purchase price. This, however, does not apply to resale properties.
By Alyssa Furtado
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
THE JOURNEY TO HOMEOWNERSHIP
takes patience and years of diligent saving. While it starts with a down payment, there can be unexpected costs that come up as a surprise. Prospective homeowners need to set aside money in addition to the down payment. Here are some unexpected costs to plan for: Inspection and appraisal fees Home inspections should be conducted to check for major issues prior to buying a new property. Inspections, which cost up to $700, assess conditions including the foundation, heating, roofing and electrical. Mortgage lenders may require an appraisal to corroborate the value of the property against the amount being borrowed. Expect to pay around $200 for the property valuation. A property survey may also be necessary to verify boundaries and measurements of the land being sold, which can cost $1,000. Legal fees Legal representation is needed to ensure that all required documentation is processed in a timely manner. A lawyer will handle mortgage details, conduct a title search to ensure that the seller of the property is the owner, register a new title, and hand over the keys. Expect to pay up to $2,500. Mortgage insurance Mortgages issued with down
payments less than 20 per cent incur a one-time insurance premium against payment default. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. mortgage insurance covers the lender and can cost between 1.8 to 3.6 per cent of the mortgage principal. In lieu of a single payment, lenders allow the premium to be added to the mortgage, subject to the same interest rate of the agreement. The premium can cost you thousands of dollars. If a down payment under 20 per cent is unavoidable, try to get the best mortgage rates to maximize savings on interest. Home insurance Home insurance protects the property and its contents in case of damage or theft. It also provides liability protection in case of injury. Home insurance isn’t regulated in Canada so it’s important to know what a policy covers. Depending on the provider, premiums can be paid monthly or via a lump sum for the year. Land transfer tax A land transfer tax (LTT) is charged whenever a property changes hands. While the amount varies across each province, the LTT is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price of the home. Some municipalities, like Toronto, also charge a municipal land transfer tax and will increase the final purchase price. In British Columbia and Ontario, rebates are available to lessen the impact of the tax for firsttime homebuyers.
Property taxes Property taxes can amount to a few thousand dollars. Divide the amount by 12 to gauge the impact of the additional monthly payment. Also consider a probable increase. Recurring monthly costs, maintenance, and renovations Monthly charges should be budgeted and can include utilities, condo fees and connections to services such as cable and Internet. A larger new home could cost more to heat and cool. The costs to renovate a kitchen or to repair faulty plumbing can add up quickly. While maintenance may not be necessary in a given year, repairs are inevitable. It’s a good idea to set aside three to five per cent of the home’s purchase price for ongoing maintenance and upgrades. The bottom line From an assortment of fees, taxes and insurance to regular maintenance, hidden home ownership costs can come as a surprise. Set aside extra funds to cover these expenses. The last thing you want is to come up short on unexpected charges and have a deal on a dream home fall through. RateHub’s mortgage payment calculator provides a reliable estimate of the cash needed to accommodate for extra costs. In addition to including land transfer taxes and lawyer fees, the calculator also presents a clear view of monthly expenses and payments needed to pay off the mortgage loan. Alyssa Furtado is founder and CEO of RateHub.ca, a website that compares mortgage rates, credit cards and deposit rates with the goal to empower Canadians to search smarter and save money.

City Focus | NIAGARA-ON-THE LAKE
Niagara-on-the Lake An economic force under a shield of beauty and history CANADA’S OLDEST SMALL TOWN and once named Prettiest
Town in Canada, Niagara-on-the-Lake is an economic force in Niagara with not one but four major economic engines. And it’s the only town in Canada with a lord mayor to head its town council. Located at the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario in view of the Toronto skyline, Niagara-on-theLake looks across to Fort Niagara where battles were waged in centuries past. As the former capital of Upper Canada, Niagara-on-the-Lake (Newark) was located in a very precarious position, susceptible to attacks and a major player in the War of 1812. Now this location is ideal for visitors and residents, putting it within 90 minutes by car from Toronto, and less than 30 minutes to Buffalo.
For a town of its size and population (about 16,000), Niagara-on-the-Lake has an economy that is the envy of major cities throughout the province, and undoubtedly the country. With a base of tourism, theatre, farming and the wine industry, Niagara-on-the-Lake has a bustling economy that rivals those of surrounding cities. The town is a day-tripper’s dream with a main street of shops and dining establishments, hotels and B&Bs and the Queen’s Landing Inn and Convention Centre. The Pillar & Post and Prince of Wales Hotel, which predates Confederation, are stately establishments that have been strongholds in the town for more than a century. When a Christmas Eve fire destroyed the Oban Inn in 1992, it was rebuilt, true to its SEPTEMBER 10 - 24, 2016 | NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE SWO 47

Neighbourhood Profile
Downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake Leisurely lakeside strolls, nights at the theatre and wine tasting are all a big part of the lifestyle here. While it can be especially buzzing with excitement during the summer months, the heritage district is busy year-round, simply due to its proximity to the Falls. Even with the tourist presence, you still get a sense of a vibrant local scene.

The vibe You can’t get any closer to the U.S. and still live in Canada, but residents here take particular pride in their history of fending off advances from their neighbours. For more than 200 years, Niagara-on-the-Lake has held the fort – literally, that’s Fort George – on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. The town is steeped in history, teeming with “so-and-so slept here” plaques. Owners have lovingly maintained these homes so well that it’s no surprise that even the brand-new subdivisions are using their designs as templates.

Meet the neighbours Popular with retirees, Niagara-on-theLake is home to fewer than the average number of households including children – but this is changing as the town expands along Hwy. 55 in particular. Young professionals and families are drawn to the new houses and townhomes that, while upscale for this region, are still relative bargains compared to GTA prices.
1824 heritage design but with the technology of today. The Shaw Festival, Canada and North America’s second largest repertory theatre company, was one of the major players that led to the changing face of NOTL from a sleepy, riverside town to a major player in the world of professional theatre, tourism and economics. Shaw draws millions of visitors and generates more than $100 million annually for the local economy. Beyond theatre and tourism, the
orchards and vineyards that surround the town proper contribute to the town’s tender fruit industry. More than 90 per cent of Ontario’s tender fruit crop (peaches, pears, plums, prunes, sweet and sour cherries, strawberries, and raspberries) comes from the Niagara Peninsula and the majority of these fruits are grown in orchards found in Niagara-on-theLake. The area accounts for 95 per cent of Ontario’s peach crop and 81 per cent of the entire country’s peach harvest. Roadside stands, operated by
Planes, trains & automobiles Within the heritage core, it’s really easy – and delightful – to make your way on foot. The sidewalks and roads are regularly plowed and in excellent repair year-round. While cyclists will find it a dream to get around when the weather permits, it’s really no place for the carless. There’s only minimal public transit, mainly linking the town to St. Catharines and other commuter destinations. Real estate While it’s definitely the most upscale neighbourhood in the region, Niagaraon-the-Lake is still relatively reasonable when you look at what $500,000 can buy. These are beautiful homes, new and old, and while settling here is a good investment, the accompanying lifestyle can get expensive if you’re a wine connoisseur.

the farmers that grow the fruit, can be found throughout the area offering visitors an opportunity to buy fruit fresh off the vine from the first strawberry pickings in the spring to the harvest of root vegetables in the fall. With its moderate climate, it was a natural step to grape growing and now vineyards and wineries have established this area as the birthplace of Ontario’s modern wine industry. Today, there are as many as 40 wineries surrounding the town. This growth led to the creation of Niagara College’s Winery and Viticulture Technician program, and then the
Wine Business Program, both the first of their kind in Canada at a teaching winery, as well as a Certified Sommelier Program. For a town its size and population, amenities are abundant. With its popularity among retirement-aged residents, those over 65 years of age number constitute the fastgrowing population resulting in the town’s growth of almost one per cent annually. The town boasts its own yacht club as well as the oldest golf club in Canada enjoying a scenic location along the shore of Lake Ontario. Leading out from the
town into Niagara Falls is the Niagara Parkway, a scenic drive lined by biking and walking paths. The rural pleasures of Niagaraon-the-Lake with its farming history blend seamlessly with world-class theatre and fine dining experiences. Once a town under siege, today you can relax in charming B&Bs, refresh with indulgent spa experiences, and delight in locally grown food paired with award-winning Niagara wines. From antique shopping to challenging golf to internationally celebrated theatre, it offers boundless charm to residents and visitors alike.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING
What’s in a new-home warranty? By Wayne Karl
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
WHAT’S IN YOUR new-home warranty? Ideally, that’s a question you’ll never have to answer for real – at least not the hard way, be it filing a complaint or, worse, proceeding to a claim settlement. But, life is sometimes not fair, and despite the best intentions of home builders, things do go wrong. To put it nicely – stuff happens. Indeed, according to Tarion Warranty Corp., nearly every new home built has some form of defect. Such is life when you’re building outside, dealing with the elements and working with natural materials. In most cases, issues get resolved, and builders large and small are getting better at responding to customer concerns. Still, there are unscrupulous – or worse, illegal – builders that try to circumvent everything from relatively minor registration fees to taxes, all under the guise of “saving you money.” But when there’s a problem or issue that needs to be resolved, good luck. That’s why it’s important to ensure your new home builder is registered with Tarion – to provide the peace of mind that Tarion is backing the warranty, as well as to learn what parts of your new home are covered, for how long, and what the steps and procedures are.
Because stuff does, indeed, happen. Typical examples include the following, a Top 10 list of first-year claims: » Paint: inadequate application or coverage
» Doors: improperly installed or finished » Floors: Damaged, cracked or installed with gaps » Drywall: Blemishes on walls, ceilings or corners » Stairs/steps: Inadequately built » Water/moisture: Moisture inside the home » Concrete: Cracking » Baseboards: Improperly installed » Trims: Improperly installed or finished » Cabinets/vanities: Improperly installed or finished You can understand how prevalent such “defects” would be in new homes, and how action is required in many cases. Nine times out of 10, for homes backed by Tarion, they’re resolved without issue. More drastic is another example involving 23 homes by one builder in one development in Ontario, also, thankfully, backed by Tarion: » After the homes were built, the water table shifted, causing differential soil settlements » The problems arose three to five years after construction » 23 homes were monitored and repaired over a period of five years » 10 homes required major repairs – causing the homeowners to be relocated to hotels for an average of 38 days
The cost to Tarion to rectify the matter? More than $5 million. The cost to homeowners? Zero. The benefit of having the peace of mind of a Tarion backed warranty? Priceless. Think that would happen if your home was built by an unregistered or illegal developer? More and more builders, Tarion says, are improving their customer service. And it’s not just the large companies. “The advantage of using a small builder might be that you often get to know the principal,” says Tarion president Howard Bogach. “But large builders are closing the gap. “The large builders that do well are the ones that behave like small builders.” And with real estate and new home prices rising, homebuyers, understandably, expect more. So, what’s in a new-home warranty? In short, your builder is not just building your home, it’s building a relationship.
