Think you can’t afford a home?

It’s more affordable than you first thought

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Wall2Wall Media

uch like that bank commercial that says, “You’re richer than you think,” a new home may be more affordable than you originally thought. Perhaps you need only to change your definition of “home” to get into the market.

While a detached home is the traditional choice for many, highrise and lowrise suites, lofts and townhomes have become a prime choice among first-time buyers and empty nesters in the market for new place to call home.

Not only does townhouse and condominium living afford you the opportunity to live in a prime neighbourhood at a great starting price, when it’s time to move you

can often opt to remain in the same neighbourhood, since many communities offer a mix of designs and sizes, which allows families to relocate easily without having to change jobs or schools.

Today’s communities generally have a range of sizes and prices that start at the “affordable” end of the price spectrum. Many builders and developers are gearing up for their grand openings and have new communities available for quick occupancy. It’s an exciting time to be shopping for a new place, so don’t miss this excellent buying opportunity.

Have a look through this issue and see what you think. The home of your dreams is waiting.

uying your first home is an exciting experience. Years of saving, months of planning, weeks of searching and days of executing a purchase usually lead to countless hours of anticipation for newcomers to the process. For many, however, it can also mean trepidation.

Relax, though, you’re not alone.

Indeed, more and more first-time buyers realize the importance of preparing for their initial home purchase. According to the BMO 2014 First-Time Home Buyers Report, they’re taking not only additional time but also more thorough steps to better prepare:

» 30 per cent of first-timers expect parents or family to assist in their purchase » 61 per cent are making cutbacks to their lifestyle to facilitate better saving » 60 per cent say their homebuying timeline has been delayed While homeownership affordability is holding its own and interest rates remain low, increasing governmentimposed fees and other factors are contributing to rising prices in the new home category. With mortgage rates expected to slowly increase later this year, additional preparation to make smart, wise homebuying choices is essential for first-timers.

Educating buyers across the GTA » by BRYAN TUCKEY

BRYAN TUCKEY

is President and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and is a land-use planner who has worked for municipal, regional and provincial governments. He can be found on Twitter (twitter. com/bildgta), Facebook (facebook.com/bildgta) and BILD’s official online blog (bildblogs.ca).

The GTA is one of the fastest growing regions in North America.

Each year, our population continues to increase by up to 100,000 new residents, all looking for a place to call home.

To accommodate this population growth, the Province of Ontario has tasked the building and development industry with building quality, complete communities that emphasize the intensification targets of its growth plan – Places to Grow.

BILD members are experts in execution and have been successfully implementing these objectives for several years. As a result, condominiums have established themselves as the dominant housing type in the GTA over the last decade.

Approximately 60 per cent of all new homes sold belong to the highrise sector.

According to RealNet Canada, BILD’s official source for new home market intelligence, there are 215 highrise projects currently under construction across the GTA, of which 142 are located in the city of Toronto. To put that into perspective, that’s 54,179 new homes for GTA families.

It’s worth noting that these homes are 87 per cent sold. In fact, a condo developer typically sells between 70 and 80 per cent of the units before breaking ground.

A condo tower is more than just a home for a hundreds of GTA families. Each new condominium project creates up to 500 jobs for GTA residents working in construction and related fields.

14 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | SEPTEMBER 6 - 20, 2014

What’s really interesting about these new condominiums is the effect they have on the local economy. A condo tower is more than just a home for a hundreds of GTA families. Each new condominium project creates up to 500 jobs for GTA residents working in construction and related fields.

These jobs include bricklayers, plumbers and electricians, as well as architects, planners and lawyers.

Next time you find yourself in a waiting room or on a train, take a look around you. It is quite likely that at least one of the people sitting beside you or across from you is employed by the building and development industry.

Those are just a few interesting facts about condominiums. If you want to learn more, you’re in luck. BILD is holding a seminar to help educate condo buyers about the realities of the highrise market.

The seminar is called the Condo Buyer’s Survival Guide, and will be moderated by Erin McCoy from The Real Estate Talk Show. It features her co-host and real estate expert Simon Giannini, RenoMark renovator and our Renovator of the Year Brendan Charters of Eurodale Developments, and interior designer Glen Peloso.

Our expert panelists will offer an analysis of the GTA’s condo market, top condo renovations to add value to your investment, great modern designs for small spaces and much more.

The seminar will be held on Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Fall Home Show, located at the Better Living Centre at Exhibition Place. Admission is free if you register in advance, and attendees are welcome to enjoy the Fall Home Show following the seminar.

//TAXING ISSUES

First-time buyers – BUY WHEN YOU’RE READY AND ABLE » by HENRY CHOO CHONG

Q

This year, my wife and I would like to get into our first home.

We have saved almost $80,000 for a down payment. This was three years of eating at home, once per week dine out and no vacations. Movies and pub nights were out, with the odd exception. Although the real estate market has changed, homes are pricier than three years ago. Is this the right time to buy? Or should we wait it out?

HENRY CHOO CHONG,

CGA, sits on many committees and provides accounting and tax services to individuals and businesses in the GTA. He can be reached at 416.485.5225. Questions to Taxing Issues can be emailed to choochonghcga@yahoo.ca

Steve and Kathy, North York

A

The Canadian real estate landscape, though it has experienced challenges in some areas and housing types, is proving resilient.

Experts do not foresee a U.S. style crash, but a decline in sales with moderate price increases is likely for some areas. Quick flips and fast returns may be a thing of the past.

First-time homebuyers should not try to time the market, but buy when you are ready and able. Leave market timing to the experts, if such a thing is possible.

A home used as your primary residence is a great investment. From a financial and tax perspective, there are at least three good reasons.

In Canada, the sale of a family home is tax-free. A home that is a principal residence that is subsequently sold at a higher price than initially purchased, will be exempt from income taxes. That’s right, Stephen Harper will not share in your good fortune. Secondly, pay yourself first, not a landlord. For many, mortgage payments are a way of “forced savings.” It makes more economic sense to fatten your pocket than a landlord. Thirdly, you can decorate and enjoy the home as you please. No money saved, but gratifying to the soul.

However, before venturing out into the land of homeownership, it would be

20 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | SEPTEMBER 6 - 20, 2014

prudent to do some homework. There were changes introduced in 2012 by the federal finance ministry that affect mortgages and the housing industry: ›› Buy what you can afford Many times, the heart is bigger than the pocketbook. Know what price range is comfortable and try not to deviate. ›› Get the best interest rate and terms Shop around for the best rate and terms. Financial institutions want your business more than you need them. A half point rate differential can cost you thousands. So can a mortgage that is closed or not portable ›› Big down payment Put down as much as possible to avoid a high-ratio mortgage. Be aware of some new mortgage rules introduced in 2012, such as: • Purchasers requires mortgage insurance (CMHC) for less than 20 per cent down payment • Amortization period – reduced from 30 to 25 years. Could add several hundred dollars to monthly payments • Gross Debt Service Ratio (GDS) 39 per cent. Banks use this to determine what you can afford based on gross income to housing costs. Check if you are on-side. ›› First-time homebuyers should make sure monthly mortgage payments are manageable and will continue to be so even if interest rates rise as early as next year and payments increase ›› Closing costs Set aside an additional two to three per cent of purchase price of the house for closing such as, Land Transfer Tax, legal costs and unwelcome surprises. You do not want get caught short several thousand dollars on closing day in order to complete the deal. Speak to a real estate lawyer and he or she will give you some ideas ›› HST, Land Transfer Tax Under certain circumstances, first-time homebuyers can qualify for Toronto Land Transfer Tax and HST rebates. Remember, you pay 13 per cent HST on new homes, not resales. If you’re buying a new home, check if HST is included in price quoted. What happens to the HST rebate? Who gets it? ›› Home Buyers Plan (HBP) Use your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) as part of the down payment. An individual and their spouse, provided they qualify, may withdraw up to $25,000 each, tax-free, from their RRSPs. You then have 15 years to repay the amounts to your RRSP, starting after the second year of your withdrawal.

Pets in your new home and neighbourhood » by DAVID HIRSH

Whether you’re searching for a single-family home or condominium, there are certain things you’ll want to keep in mind to ensure your bases are covered as a pet owner.

Owners are pampering their “best friends” with products and services provided by the rising number of specialty boutiques catering to pets. Now, more than ever, many households will have furry companions around.

With condos, it’s important to carefully review all documents. They spell out the specific bylaws and rules of the condominium corporation, and you’ll need to comply with the type of pets, the total number allowed, and any weight restrictions imposed. Rules pertaining to the allowance of pets in condos are certainly changing, so you want to be especially aware of any stipulations spelt out in documents for older condos. When you buy a new condo, you have 10 days to review all legalities. You may have a shorter period of time to review the Status Certificate, which will deal primarily with the financial status of the condo building and your suite. If you’re unclear about anything, as always, it’s wise to consult your lawyer to be sure you understand all your rights and responsibilities.

There is a fair amount of customization opportunities available when buying a new home or condo. In the case of

28 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | SEPTEMBER 6 - 20, 2014

lowrise, a faucet or extra laundry tub in the garage can go a long way to keeping your pooch clean – you might want to confirm this is doable through your builder. Carpeting on stairs or in main living areas could pose a challenge to cat lovers whose felines see any carpet as the ideal substitute for a scratching post (same goes for long, flowing drapery). Or if you have a dog that’s tough to corral to clean off dirty paws after a jaunt in the rain, you might prefer a dirt-hiding patterned tile at the entry or foyer. As for condos, recent amenities show a rise in the popularity of pet-spa features, such as dog washes.

In terms of the surrounding neighbourhood, it’s a good idea to become familiar with where off-leash parks are located. Many neighbourhoods incorporate dog parks that offer your pooch open space to get some exercise and give you the excuse to get some fresh air. Having your pooch around other dogs also encourages dog socialization. Finally, they’re a great place for you to get to know your neighbours and make new friends.

Speaking of neighbours and making new friends, keep general pet etiquette in mind. Whether you’re at home taking the elevator or walking around your neighbourhood, you’ll want to keep your furry friend on a tight leash. If you’re waiting for an elevator and are faced with a crowded one, you might want to wait for the next ride.

With more and more households embracing pets, (and this trend is bound to continue), keeping your best friends’ needs and those of others around ensures that everyone is happy with having furry companions around.

How to find a home near the best schools » by ALYSSA RICHARD

ALYSSA RICHARD

is the Founder and CEO of ratehub.ca, a mortgage rate comparison site that aims to empower Canadians to make smart financial decisions.

30

When you get ready to start your house hunt, you’ll likely start by compiling a list of “needs” and “wants.” Your needs will include the size of the home, including how many bedrooms and bathrooms your family wants. Your wants, on the other hand, may include more conveniences, such as new upgrades and appliances and extra storage.

If you’re part of a growing family, finding a home near a good school is probably also near the top of your needs list. Depending on where you live, it may not always be possible to find something within walking distance. But beyond just proximity, you may be more concerned about the testing results of any schools your kids could potentially go to.

So, where can parents find this information? Unfortunately, it can take time to dig around for it online.

Every year, the Fraser Institute releases “report cards” for schools all across Canada. Divided by province and then again by elementary and secondary schools, parents can view charts online

and download PDFs that reveal everything, from average exam marks, fail rates and graduation rates, to gender gaps in certain studies and more. Each school then receives an overall rating out of 10 – 10 being the best score a school can get.

In most provinces, there are also other organizations that measure student achievement through standardized tests. For example, the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) in Ontario is responsible for measuring achievement in reading, writing and mathematics in relation to the province’s curriculum requirements. EQAO takes the average scores of these tests (in percentages) and gives each school a grade between zero and 100 – 100 being a perfect score.

The task of looking for these scores for every individual school your kids could potentially go to is daunting. Finding a home you can commit to buying is hard enough – making sure it’s within the boundaries of the school district you want, and close to good schools, only adds to your stress throughout the process.

Fortunately, if you’re a homebuyer in Toronto, there’s a new website that revolutionizes the process. Scholarhood.ca helps buyers find homes close to the best schools in Toronto. The site showcases the boundary data for all of Toronto’s school districts on a map, and uses up-to-date metrics from the Fraser Institute and EQAO to show how schools rank in each district.

When you find a district you’d like your kids to go to school in, you can request all the listings within the boundary lines.

Apparently, it can be that easy.

our home is a reflection of your personal style, and it’s often helpful to get ideas from the professionals. Geranium Homes offers just that at Uptownes at Cardinal Point in Stouffville, where two new furnished and decorated models of these popular stacked townhomes are opening in midSeptember. The model opening is the culmination of Geranium’s design collaboration with Los Angeles-based interior designer, Jo-Ann Capelaci who initially created four themed approaches for stylish living at Uptownes – two for the back-to-back series of designs and two for the stacked plans.

From contemporary to traditional, you’ll be inspired by the basic elements that Capelaci has integrated, along with her choice of colours and finishes, all of which will help you to define your own decorating style.

GERANIUM HOMES | Uptownes at Cardinal Point “Jo-Ann and I both know the importance of having a good space plan; one that takes into account the scale of the furnishings and the flow of the whole home,” says Sue Webb Smith, Geranium’s director of marketing.

“Our objective is to demonstrate to our purchasers and prospective buyers how they can create their own model home style.”

To showcase Geranium’s meticulously designed floorplans, the team selected from Uptownes’ high quality standard finishes, choosing a few upgrades that provide big impact for a small investment. Capelaci’s flair for colour and textures was applied to the window coverings, paint, wallpaper and furnishings resulting in a model home that flows from ground level up to the magnificent rooftop terrace.

Buyers may choose from four different designs, which range from 1,401 to 1,639 sq. ft., priced from the $370,000s. Every home includes a bright and spacious Great Room with 10-ft. ceiling heights, a large rooftop terrace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All this plus a bonus ground level recreation room that could become an exercise room, studio or home office – it’s your choice. Parking for two cars is accommodated in the single-car garage and driveway.

Uptownes have brick and stone exteriors and oversized windows creating the perfect entrée to stylish townhome living.

Uptownes at Cardinal Point is just minutes from Main Street Stouffville offering shops, services, restaurants and regular GO service. Nearby, there are plenty of parks, schools and the Leisure Centre, which has an indoor pool, fitness facilities and year-round programs.

Geranium has been developing and building family communities across Southern Ontario for more than 36 years. The Neighbourhoods of Cardinal Point received the 2014 Award for Best Places to Grow Community of the Year from the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD);

//INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

Think resale value when considering upgrades » by HUGH HERON

HUGH HERON

is Principal and Partner in the Heron Group of Companies and President of Heathwood Homes, as well as a former Member of the Board of Directors of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., and a Past President of the Toronto Home Builders’ Association and the Ontario Home Builders’ Association.

One of the many things new home purchasers have to decide on is whether to purchase upgrades at their colour selection appointment. It’s a big decision that can have a big effect on your future resale value. In fact, in today’s world of staging homes before putting out a “For Sale” sign, the built-in features and finishes a residence has can make all the difference in getting the price you want. New-home buyers are fortunate to be able to select their appointments with their personal preferences and increased value in mind. They are also lucky because today’s standard features are truly what used to be considered upgrades when I started in the industry in the 1960s.

Along the way, as new-home shoppers became more educated and more demanding, builders have risen to the challenge. Truthfully, the standards we offer now are so good that many purchasers pass on upgrades. Those who do decide to upgrade have the added benefit that the choices of extras are phenomenal.

When you are preparing for your colour selection appointment, keep the possibility of upgrades in mind

When you go into your selection appointment, be sure to use the most valuable tool made available to you – the advice of the decor consultant.

50 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | SEPTEMBER 6 - 20, 2014

– and give some serious thought as to where you might spend your upgrade dollars. Think about how the upgrades will improve your surroundings and increase the future appeal of your home. The other aspect of upgrading during construction is that in the long run, you can save money, mess and stress. For example, by adding wiring for a home office, entertainment centre, central vacuum and the like now, you avoid having to open up walls later on. A big consideration is a finished basement.

If that is not standard in the lowrise home you’re buying, having it finished now as opposed to renovating later is a great idea.

We hear all the time from buyers that they can purchase some upgrades at big box stores for less, and that’s usually true – but who is going to install them? Builders have to pay to administer, install and cover structural defects by warranty up to seven years. Paying for upgrades at the point of sale can be far less expensive and is definitely less invasive than trying to add the items in the future.

When you go into your selection appointment, be sure to use the most valuable tool made available to you – the advice of the decor consultant. These knowledgeable professionals not only know the products the builder is offering, but they are familiar with the designs and what will look good with what. They know which colours and textures complement each other, and they are up to date on upgrades and what they can do for your look.

You have most likely heard that your best return-oninvestment when it comes to upgrades is in kitchens and bathrooms. At Heathwood Homes, we find that to be true.

Modern manufacturers have revolutionized the ensuite bath, with things such as rain showerheads, oval tubs and spa-like vanities.

At the design centre, you will have thousands of choices available to you when it comes to features, finishes and colours. This is another reason why guidance from the decor consultant is fantastic. Do a little prep work by looking through magazines and stores and watching decorating shows on TV to get an idea of their personal style. Remember, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for when it comes to your new home. Even if you stick with standards, a new home today is a solid and wise investment.

Upgrades up the value even more!

Great Gulf raises $137,000 IN SUPPORT OF YOUTH BIPOLAR DISORDER AT SUNNYBROOK CENTRE The 19th Annual Great Gulphers Caddyshack Invitational held at the Cardinal Golf Club in Kettleby Aug. 15, 2014 presented by AyA Kitchens and Baths, saw 348 golfers compete for the best score to raise money for Sunnybrook’s Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder. The tournament was an overwhelming success raising more than $137,000.

“It’s always exciting and gratifying for Great Gulf to bring together sponsors, golfers and friends to enjoy a day on the links and camaraderie while raising much needed funds in support of important causes such as this one. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, committee members and employees for their continued support and generosity in making this annual tournament an outstanding success and in helping bring awareness to youth bipolar disorders,” said Christopher Wein, president of residential, Great Gulf.

Since 2006, the tournament has raised more than $900,000 in support of the Sunnybrook Hospital Foundation and the Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder. This year’s “Caddyshack” theme with special guest emcee Dominik

Diamond, The Edge 102 Morning Show host, a beautiful scenic course and incredible fare was the upswing to all expectations.

Dr. Benjamin Goldstein, associate professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Toronto, director of the Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and a scientist at the Sunnybrook Research Institute, and Dr. Anthony Levitt, medical director of the Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook, were on hand for the cheque presentation.

“Sunnybrook’s Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder (CYBD) is turning five years old, giving us the chance to look back with gratitude on the crucial and timely support we have received from the Great Gulf Golf Tournament since our inception,” said Dr. Goldstein.

“CYBD is the largest program of its kind in Canada, with more than 400 patients seen to date. We treat teens from all over Ontario, conducting rigorous comprehensive assessments that are needed to adequately address the complexity of bipolar disorder among teenagers. We also carry out innovative award-winning research. This research offers hope for these teens and their families that the future holds promise of better assessment and treatment approaches, and reduced stigma. The partnership between CYBD and Great Gulf is guided by our shared vision that teens with bipolar disorder deserve specialized care and deserve the hope offered by scientific advances uniquely relevant to them.”

More trees, please

TD Friends of the Environment Foundation invites Canadians to help plant 50,000 trees as part of TD Tree Days There’s no question Canadians value trees. According to recent research from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, 96 per cent of Canadians feel that it is important to plant trees today in order to sustain a healthy environment and improve the quality of life of future generations, and the majority want more trees planted in their communities. And, while only two in 10 Canadians currently donate their time once a year to plant trees or participate in greening projects, two-thirds say they would be likely to volunteer a few hours if they felt it would benefit their community for years to come. That’s where TD Tree Days comes in.

Now in its fifth year, TD Tree Days is a grassroots community tree-planting program, where a small investment of time pays off in life-long environmental returns. As the TD flagship volunteer program, TD Tree Days provides TD employees and their families, customers and community partners the opportunity to demonstrate leadership in environmental stewardship in their local communities. This year, throughout September and October, volunteers will plant 50,000 trees at more than 140 events from coast to coast.

56 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | SEPTEMBER 6 - 20, 2014

“There’s no question that Canadians want to see more trees in their neighbourhoods, and the good news is that it’s easy to make that happen,” says Mary Desjardins, executive director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. “TD Tree Days is a fun, social way to green a neighbourhood. All it takes is a couple of hours on one day to plant some trees with friends and neighbours, and the community and environmental benefits are instantaneous and long-lasting.”

An overwhelming majority of Canadians (95 per cent) agree that planting trees is a great way for people to get involved in enhancing the environment in their communities, and 65 per cent also believe that local volunteers should play a role in helping to maintain local green spaces.

“It’s important to me that I contribute to making my community more livable, and planting trees as part of TD Tree Days is such an easy way to make a difference,” says Joseph Kurian, veteran TD Tree Days volunteer. “Not only am I helping to make the future a little Greener, but it’s a lot of fun and I’ve had the opportunity to meet some great people.”

Each TD Tree Days planting event is led by a local TD employee volunteer site leader and is supported by a team of volunteer planting coordinators. More than 50 organizations, including conservation authorities, municipalities and Aboriginal communities support TD Tree Days with technical expertise to ensure that the right trees are properly planted in the right place. In the last four years, thousands of TD Tree Days volunteers – from Brownies to bankers – have planted over 135,000 trees through TD Tree Days.

purchases and HST » by JAYSON SCHWARZ and KONSTANTINE CHATZIDIMOS

LL.M. is a Toronto real estate lawyer and senior partner in the law firm Schwarz Law LLP. If you have a topic in mind, mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to the firm, email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.

KONSTANTINE CHATZIDIMOS

is an associate in the law firm Schwarz Law LLP.

Purchasers of new, resale and condominium homes who visit our offices are often confused about the way the harmonized sales tax (HST) affects their transactions. This inspired us to write a few words in the hopes of demystifying this oftmisunderstood aspect of the new home purchase.

Purchases of new freehold and condominium homes in Ontario – unlike resale or “used” homes – are subject to the HST. HST is a combination of the eight per cent Ontario provincial sales tax (PST) and the five per cent federal goods and services tax (GST). The percentage of HST applicable to the transaction is directly related to the purchase price of the home. However, homebuyers are able to claim a rebate of some of the PST and GST. For example, the rebate associated with the PST portion of the tax is available for new homes priced up to $500,000. The PST rebate for new properties under $400,000 is six per cent of the purchase price (or 75 per cent of the eight per cent PST portion of the HST), with the rebate amount reduced for homes priced between $400,000 and $500,000. There is a similar rebate mechanism for the five per cent GST portion of the HST. What is important to understand is that the vast majority of Ontario builders incorporate the rebated amount of HST in their purchase price. This is because the HST rebate is immediately available only to purchasers who are buying new properties with the intent that they will be their primary place of residence or the primary place of residence of a family relation.

In this case, the purchaser does not have to submit a rebate application directly to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The purchaser will sign the rebate application and provide it to the builder, which will then send the rebate application to CRA when the builder claims a deduction in its net tax calculation for the amount of the rebate. Structured this way, the HST is effectively a non-issue for purchasers as the builder takes care of all the paperwork.

In cases where the purchased property will not be the principal residence of the buyer or a family relation of the buyer, but will instead be an investment property, it is the responsibility of the buyer to inform the builder. This is because the builder must add back the HST rebate to the purchase price which will have to be paid by the buyer upon closing. This does not mean that the HST rebate is lost to the buyer as they will have a two-year period in which to claim the HST rebate directly from CRA, provided certain guidelines are met such as a ‘reasonable expectation’ that the first use of the property is – or will be – by a tenant occupying it as their primary place of residence for at least one year. Required supporting documentation will include the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the Statement of Adjustments,

60 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | SEPTEMBER 6 - 20, 2014

the insurance policy on the property, as well as the lease with the first tenant. The rebate in this case is calculated in the same manner it is in respect of owneroccupied dwellings.

It is important to note that while investor-purchasers of new long-term rental accommodation are eligible for the HST rebate, speculators are excluded.

Anyone who buys and rents a new freehold or condominium home must repay the full amount of the rebate (plus interest) if the property is sold within one year – unless the new purchaser acquires it for use as their (or a relation’s) primary place of residence.

It is also important to note that lying to the builder about your intention to live in the new property when you will, in actuality, rent it out can cause you problems with the CRA. If you do this and the CRA finds out, you will be liable to pay back the full amount of the HST rebate you received on closing plus applicable interest and penalties. In addition, you will be swearing affidavits under oath or affirming the truth and you could be guilty of perjury.

Please note that the underlying legislation is more complex than it may appear from reading this article. For a comprehensive explanation of the HST’s impact on investor purchasers of new real estate, it is strongly suggested that you consult a lawyer.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. So help me! Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email info@schwarzlaw.ca and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES SNEAK PEEK OFFERED A RARE OPPORTUNITY AT

Daniels Evermore in Brampton Recently, The Daniels Corporation opened the doors to some of the residences under construction at the popular Daniels Evermore ravine community in Brampton’s Castlemore area. Homeowners and prospective purchasers were excited to get a behind-the-scenes look at the exceptional condominium townhomes that begin in price from just the low $400,000s. Guided by members of Daniels’ construction team, they experienced in person the built-in quality and design excellence for which Daniels is so well known.

Here’s the great news – if you missed the construction tours, it’s not too late. The event was so successful that the company has decided to continue offering appointments. Book your own personal hard-hat tour and take the opportunity to walk through the homes, which are framed and insulated, and see behind the bricks and mortar to truly understand what sets Daniels apart in the industry. In addition, you’ll be able to ask questions of the people who are actually building the homes – a rare opportunity in the GTA. “We were thrilled at the turnout for this special event,” says Daniels’ vice-president Don Pugh. “The townhome construction tour really helped visitors envision the livability of our designs in

this convenient setting at the southeast corner of Castlemore Road and McVean Drive, close to an array of amenities for growing families.”

Choices at Daniels Evermore include the three-bedroom condominium townhomes, plus freehold three-, four- and five-bedroom detached homes, and freehold three- and four-bedroom semi-detached designs.

The single-detached homes back onto protected valley land and offer ravine walkouts. In addition to luxurious standard features and finishes, the two-storey townhomes, semi-detached and detached homes come complete with a finished basement and finished three-piece bath. Residences range in size from 1,632 to 3,228 sq. ft. and start from the low $400,000s. For a limited time, townhomes come with five free appliances, and for those who select a semi-detached or single-detached home, Daniels is currently offering $10,000 in free upgrades (see a sales representative for full details).

Visit the Daniels Evermore presentation centre located at 4107 Castlemore Rd., between McVean Drive and The Gore Road. For more information, visit danielsevermore.com or follow the community on Facebook and Twitter (@DanielsEvermore). To book your private construction tour, call 905.573.8792. This opportunity won’t last long!

Canadian mortgage payment factors Instructions:

01 02 03 04

Determine the appropriate 5-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate, which is easiest to qualify for.

Run your finger down the left column of the table below to find the rate (round to the nearest 1/4%).

Choose your desired amortization period across the top of the table (25 years has lowest payment and is easiest to qualify for first-time buyers).

At the intersection of the column and row is your mortgage payment per month per $100,000 borrowed.

» Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
