It’s important to bring a fresh perspective when shopping for a new home or new condo.

Unlike a resale property, it’s an opportunity to own a new abode outfitted with the finishes and features that you want, not what the previously owner left behind.

+ get social

This used to be a fairly simple question, to which most people answered: a large single-family home on a quiet street, in a great neighbourhood near all the amenities you would need.

These days, however, the answer involves other, slightly more complex questions.

How much can you afford? Sure, interest rates are low now, but how well could you cope with higher mortgage payments brought on by rising interest rates?

How much will it really cost? You’ll need to factor all the closing costs – lawyer fees, land transfer taxes, utilities, insurance and more – into your overall budget.

Where do you want to live?

This is becoming more important for a number of reasons, though influenced mostly by where you work, your desired commute and what your transportation options are. Indeed, proximity to transit is something more people are looking for in their new home location.

Public art is a placemaker for neighbourhoods

By Bryan Tuckey ACROSS THE GTA, public art is enhancing buildings and communities and making them more attractive and inviting to residents, visitors and passersby.

The art can take many forms, such as large playful or modern sculptures, intricate lighting installations, coloured and etched glass embedded into the fabric of buildings or even patterns and words integrated into pavement. Some pieces of public art are not only decorative but also functional and provide illumination or a place to sit.

Many pieces of public art help create a sense of place and some give a nod to the history of their location.

Much of the public art in the region was created through collaborations of land developers, municipalities and artists.

In the city of Toronto, public art is funded as part of a new development. Through its Percent for Public Art policy, the City requires developers to spend one per cent of the overall construction value of their new developments to create public art.

There are more than 200 public art installations that have come as a result of the public art policy.

Famous Canadian novelist and artist Douglas Coupland has created a number of them. He has worked

with the development industry to create pieces such as Canoe Landing Park’s large red canoe and the colourful fishing bobbers that anchor Concord Adex Development’s CityPlace neighbourhood in downtown Toronto.

The park is enjoyed by residents and employees in the surrounding buildings, as well as visitors who come to experience interactive art.

In this case, in particular, the public art has also created and reinforced a sense of community in a newlydeveloped area where there wasn’t a permanent community before.

Coupland also created the soldier sculpture entitled Monument to the War of 1812 at Fleet and Bathurst Streets, which was commissioned by BILD member Malibu Investments.

Outside the city, municipalities such as Markham and Mississauga have policies and programs that encourage developers to include public art in their development plans but they are not mandatory.

In Mississauga, one BILD member embraced the idea and voluntarily commissioned a work of art that is now establishing a sense of place for a new neighbourhood. A sculpture by Canadian artist David James called Heaven and Earth was unveiled in July outside HOT Condominiums by Great Gulf.

The landmark sculpture funded by the developer is located at the corner of Winston Churchill Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue West. Sitting at the gateway to the new community, this sculpture is topped with a mirrored sphere can be enjoyed by residents, visitors and anyone who travels through that major intersection.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

Why we need context, not just data, on foreign investors

By Wayne Karl

IMAGINE A HOUSE of cards – or a

game of Jenga – where one wrong move could cause everything to come crashing down. This is the fear some have when it comes to foreign investors in Canadian real estate.

The concern is that foreign buyers– those who live elsewhere but buy properties in Canada and rent them out – are driving up home prices, particularly in hot markets such as Vancouver and Toronto. This offshore demand is leading to an artificial, unsustainable market, some believe, which could cause a crash if for any reason these owners pulled out or sold their homes en masse.

“People are concerned that foreign buyers are coming in and buying too many properties and driving the prices up,” Ben Myers, senior vice-president, market research and analytics at Fortress Real Developments, told New Home Guide. “That is the big concern.”

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. is taking steps to address this “data gap,” by scheduling meetings with industry stakeholders and other measures. Prime Minister Stephen Harper also promises to get a better handle on the issue.

Some of these foreign buyers are paying cash – given that Canadian properties are a relative bargain compared to prices back home for Chinese buyers, for example.

This means they’re not borrowing from Canadian banks or requiring insurance from CMHC, further contributing to the dearth of data.

Without such transparency, it could fall on real estate agents and lawyers to report such transactions.

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/waynekarl

The problem with this scenario, points out Don R. Campbell, well known real estate investor and author, is that “data without action or policy is just knowledge.” There is nothing currently in place preventing foreigners from purchasing Canadian real estate.

“I’m a stats guy,” adds Myers.

“I’d love to see the information, but I think we have a pretty good idea that residential real estate sales activity to non-domestic buyers is pretty isolated to Toronto and Vancouver. Should Canadian taxpayers in every other metro area be on the hook for the cost of collecting this info?

“If we find out foreign buyers own 1.2 per cent of Canadian residential dwellings – 3.5 per cent in Toronto units and 6.1 per cent in Vancouver – then what? How much will it cost to take the next steps?

“Even if you had the proper data and the world’s best econometricians, you could never know what a home would have sold for if a foreign purchaser didn’t buy it,” says Myers.

Campbell says any such data would be “incredibly inaccurate, given the many ways in which ultimate purchaser can hide who is buying.”

He also points out that The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) could limit any disclosure. PIPEDA sets out ground rules for how private sector organizations may collect, use or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities.

Advice | TARION REPORT

How does your builder rank?

Let’s found out

By Howard Bogach

HAVE YOU BOUGHT a new house or

condo in the past year? We want to hear from you! Every fall, Tarion sends out surveys to all new homebuyers across the province. It’s our chance to hear from you about your new home experience and your chance to have your voice heard. Let us know if your home and builder met your expectations, and how you rate your experience with the new home warranty. As a recent new-home buyer, your feedback is essential to us as we constantly look to improve the new-home buying experience in Ontario.

Buying a new home is an exciting time – but having a good experience can greatly depend on your builder.

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

How did you find the whole process, from signing the deal to finally getting the keys? Did your new home have everything you agreed to and signed for? And if not, did your builder listen to your concerns and fix the problems? Your opinion matters to us – it not only helps determine if your builder will be recognized with a customer service award, but it also helps us make important improvements to Tarion’s services.

Every year, builders that have enough responses to their surveys

are provided with individual reports that compare their results to the average (without identifying the participants, of course). We also meet with builders to help explain and analyze their scores and offer advice on improving customer service. If necessary, we also deliver customer service training to low performing builders. So, if your new home buying experience did not meet your expectations, let us know. We always want to help make the experience better for everyone.

Your participation also has a direct impact on your builder’s reputation.

We use the results of this survey to determine finalists and recipients of the Tarion Awards of Excellence.

These are the only awards in the province that recognize builders solely on the basis of their customer service. As we say, it’s the only builder award that is earned, not won. If a builder becomes a finalist or recipient of this award, it will be placed on their official record on the Ontario Builder Directory (available at tarion. com) for everyone to see. For anyone researching a new-home builder, this is great way to find out how their customers feel about them.

So, if you have taken possession of a new house or condo in the past year, keep an eye out for the Tarion survey by email or mail this month.

This is your chance tell us about your home buying experience and influence whether your builder should be recognized for their customer service. And remember – your opinion matters, so please take the time to share it with us!

WHEN DRIVING ALONG Chinguacousy Road in southwest Brampton, one gets the feeling that they’re in the midst of a very special community. It’s a place where the valleys of the Credit River offer a breathtaking outdoor playground of lush green parkland.

It’s in the heart of this exquisite neighbourhood that Fieldgate Homes has created one of Brampton’s finest family communities, Valleylands of the Credit River.

A new collection of 38- and 41ft. detached homes has just been released. They are located near Queen Street West and Chinguacousy Road in west Brampton. Also, there are 38-, 41-, 45- and 50-ft. inventory homes, some with closings available

in as little as 30 days at Valleylands.

For those looking to move in soon, Valleylands’ current inventory homes run from 2,177 to 3,470 sq. ft., have between three and five bedrooms and start from the mid $600’s. Some of the new homes for sale are furnished.

It’s never been easier to come home to Valleylands!

One of the finest offerings from Valleyland’s is the 45-ft., 3,310-sq.-ft., double-car garage, four-bedroom York Elevation B. The York offers a spectacular front elevation featuring large windows and a covered porch.

…continued from page 24

Just down the hall is the stunning gourmet kitchen, complete with breakfast bar, servery, walk-in pantry and sliding patio doors. Adjoining the kitchen is a generously sized family room with gas fireplace. On the opposite side of the family room is a charming library with optional French doors opening to the backyard. The second floor features a master suite complete with a spacious walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite featuring his and hers sinks, oval tub and separate shower. Home purchasers also have the option of including a private master retreat with optional gas fireplace in the master suite, or having the convenience of a den that opens to the main hallway. At the top of the stairs, home purchasers will be pleased to find an upstairs laundry room. Bedrooms two and three share access to an ensuite and bedroom four has access to its own private ensuite. Priced from the upper $700’s, this luxurious model is a triumph of elegance and sophistication.

For most families, school is a top priority, so it’s nice to know that Valleylands is ideally situated to take advantage of many of Brampton’s wonderful educational facilities.

A new elementary school is now under construction right in the Valleylands community that’s projected to be ready for the September 2015 school year, and Queen Street elementary school and Sir William Gage middle school are just a short walk north of the community. There are also a number of public and Catholic primary and secondary schools within a short distance.

In addition to excellent proximity to schools, Valleylands is also in a great location to take advantage of a whole host of other lifestyle amenities. The Heartland Town Centre is only five minutes away, offering major retailers such as Best Buy, Home Depot and Costco. Nearby Erin Mills Town Centre, Trinity Common Mall and Bramalea City Centre also offer wonderful selections of shops and restaurants. For those in search of live entertainment, there’s the Rose Theatre, offering a year-round calendar of musical and theatrical performances. Golfing enthusiasts will be impressed with the great selection of golf courses within a short driving distance, and the commute to Toronto is a breeze with Hwys. 401 and 407 just minutes away.

Kylemore Kares Golf Tournament a great success

KYLEMORE COMMUNITIES’ 8TH

Annual Kylemore Kares Golf Tournament on Aug. 14 was a great success, as the sold out event hosted 200 golfers at the Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham.

For eight years, this annual golf tournament is hosted by the awardwinning homebuilder and attended by a range of supporters that include owners and employees of Kylemore’s loyal trades and consultants. To date, more than $1 million has been raised for charities “The true winners of this tournament are the charities and non-profit groups we are able to assist each year, as a result of this monumental fund-raising effort,” says Kylemore president Patrick O’Hanlon.

Special guest Attilio Lio, Zodiac Developments, speaking on behalf of York Region Children’s Aid Foundation, shared his appreciation for the funds they receive.

“Everything we raise goes right back to the community,” says O’Hanlon.

“We support universities and hospitals, as well as smaller community-based organizations and individuals who need our help.”

In the past, Kylemore has supported The Goldring Centre for High

Performance Sport at University of Toronto, Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation, the ALS Society of Canada, Union Villa as well as sports and theatre programs. The funds raised at the golf tournament will be distributed throughout the year.

Since 1997, Kylemore Communities has been creating homes of lasting value in some of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area. From boutique- and resortstyle condominiums, to executive townhomes, exquisite detached residences and magnificent custom homes, Kylemore delivers quality

craftsmanship, innovative design and superior architecture to their valued, and loyal, homeowners.

Currently under construction are The 6th Condominium, Parkside East, and Stollery Estates in award-winning Angus Glen Community. This fall, the company will launch Kennedy Manors, an intimate neighbourhood of luxury townhomes at Kennedy Road and 16th Avenue in Markham. “We’re committed to making a difference in our communities,” says O’Hanlon. “We can design and build a house, we can plan a community, but it’s the people who make it feel like home.”

Advice | HOME SMARTS

In-law suites Purchasing a new home with rental potential

By Marnie Bennett I’VE ALWAYS FOUND the rise and fall of housing trends incredibly interesting. Of course, staying on top of these patterns is also a vital aspect of my career. One surging trend in the Ottawa housing market is the in-law suite – and I believe this one has real staying power.

“In-law suite” is the name most commonly given to self-contained apartments within a larger home, whether the occupants happen to be in-laws. Family custom is, however, one of the main reasons for the growing popularity of these secondary suites. While there have always been Ottawans who value multi-generational living, their number is steadily increasing as Ottawa continues to receive the most family-related immigration in Canada.

For many of our newcomers, living in proximity to grandparents or extended family is the cultural norm.

The other significant group interested in secondary suites are those who have realized the terrific income potential of such spaces. With its many contract workers and post-secondary students, Ottawa has no shortage of renters. While zoning by-laws make secondary suites a nono in some jurisdictions, the City of Ottawa (excepting the former Village of Rockcliffe Park) has no such restrictions, as long as by-law conditions are followed.

More often than not, in-law suites are basement apartments, although they’re occasionally located on the second or third floors. They possess private entrances, bathrooms, kitchens and sometimes laundry facilities.

Renovating an existing home to accommodate a separate suite can be expensive, and unforeseen

complications may arise. The beautiful thing about including a secondary suite when purchasing a new home is that you can have everything built to your specifications, rather than being limited by the existing structure. Some builders make a specialty of in-law suite homes, with a portfolio of available plans, but others are happy to alter standard plans for a fee.

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

A few things to consider: » Basement apartments aren’t noted for their great natural light. Invest in great lighting, making good use of pot lights. Where possible, install larger-than-typical windows. » Include a bathtub in the bathroom to appeal to as many tenants as possible. » Features such as a double driveway, soundproofing panels and separate gas and electrical meters can make everyone’s lives easier.

With a thoughtfully designed suite, the income – or the in-laws – will be sure to roll in!

ALONG A QUAINT TREE-LINED residential street, adjacent to a lush community park in the heart of one of Toronto’s most sought-after neighbourhoods comes a brand new boutique community by Zinc Developments that offers unparalleled small town living in the big city.

Located in the hip west-end Roncesvalles Village, the aptly named 35 Wabash is an exclusive four-storey residence that offers buyers exceptional location, stunning architecture and innovative suite designs.

“We saw a rare opportunity to create a unique residence that not only enhanced the modern townhome living experience, but seamlessly fit into this

vibrant area that offers residents everything they need – from toprated public schools, charming restaurants and cafes, and many beloved parks,” says Ken Zuckerman, president of Zinc Developments.

Inspired by the industrial charm of the area’s history combined with a contemporary sensibility, 35 Wabash will feature 57 two-storey towns and flats complete with backyard retreats and rooftop terraces designed by the award-winning team at RAW Design.

The building boasts signature architecture that distinguishes itself from other towns by offering no below grade units, convenient

elevator service, modern condominium amenities, and one-of-a-kind outdoor living spaces. Ground floor towns will include private backyard retreats, while sky towns will include rooftop terraces, both designed to seamlessly integrate the outdoors into every suite.

35 Wabash will feature suites in a variety of one-, twoand three-bedroom layouts, many with the option of a den. Purposefully designed to enhance open concept living, corridors and barriers were removed, while window heights were increased and glass was incorporated throughout to allow the maximum amount of natural light to filter through the space.

Ranging in size from a comfortable 650 to a spacious 1,500 sq. ft., suites at 35 Wabash will be meticulously outfitted by Toronto’s DesignAgency to complement the effortlessly cool vibe of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Incorporating rustic elements like black framed windows and concrete finished flooring give the space a cool historic edge, while sleek accents of wood and chrome add an air of modernism.

Kitchens will feature custom-designed cabinetry, quartz countertops and quartz islands, designer glass tile backsplash, an integrated panel ready fridge and dishwasher and exposed shelving that contributes to the open-concept living space.

Bathrooms will include frameless glass showers with porcelain tiles, a sleek vanity with custom mirror and

cabinets along with a ceramic countertop and integrated sink finished off by polished chrome fixtures throughout.

“While we put a lot of thought into the suite aesthetics, we also wanted to address a buyer’s need for functionality in the space as well,” adds Ken Zuckerman. “Each and every suite at 35 Wabash has been designed to maximize the space by introducing flexible, functional elements.”

From vanity storage, medicine cabinets and shower niches, to optional upgrades such as a built-in desk under the staircase and a builtin kitchen pantry, every inch of space can be accounted for and utilized.

35 Wabash will also include a yoga studio that will open out onto an outdoor Zen garden – the perfect place to practice a downward dog flow after enjoying an afternoon exploring the action on Roncesvalles Avenue or relaxing in nearby High Park or Sorauren Park.

Affordably priced from the $600’s to more than $1 million, 35 Wabash is the perfect place to call home for families and young professionals looking to plant their roots in this exciting, historic neighbourhood.

Advice | LEGALLY SPEAKING

Getting your house in order

By Jayson Schwarz WHETHER YOU’RE purchasing a

home for the first time, are a seasoned buyer moving in the market or purchasing a retirement condominium, the very action of this significant investment in real estate represents a major life change.

There are a number of issues that you should consider in order to ensure that your house is in order.

1. How will I hold the title?

If more than one person is buying the property, it is necessary to decide how they will share the title.

There are two ways people can hold title together. The first is generally the way we hold title with our spouses or children, which is called “joint tenancy.” This means that upon the death of one of the parties, the remaining party automatically becomes the owner of the whole property without having to inherit it or have it pass through an estate. The reason is simply that all owners on

title own the whole property rather than a part each.

The other way title can be held is as “tenants in common.” Here each party only owns the percentage allocated to them, although the physical part owned is not described. Upon the death of a tenant in common, his or her percentage of the ownership goes to their heirs in accordance with their will or law. Therefore, remember to discuss this issue when you go to see your lawyer.

resolution of the issue of custody if something happens to both parents. A will stops sibling disputes, takes care of who will look after children, keeps the government out of your affairs, allows for an orderly disposition of your assets, and will allow you to determine how you are to be buried.

A power of attorney is used when you are physically or mentally incapacitated – there are two kinds. The first is for your body (what care will you or will you not receive?). Your representative will determine that. The other is for the management of your financial affairs.

Now is the time to create a will.

Speak to your lawyer and ensure that this important matter is dealt with.

2. What about a will?

If you have a will, is it up to date and does it represent your current situation or state of affairs? It is important, especially if you have young children, to have your wills completed; not so much for the money, but for a clear

3. What about insurance?

You will need insurance for the house.

This is a great time to look at life and disability insurance, and determine if you should be insuring your mortgage in case something happens to the major wage-earner.

This burgeoning area is quickly becoming the place to live for people who want to be close to the downtown core, but not in it; for people who love the bohemian pull of a community that is gentrifying faster than anywhere else in the city but with an affordable price tag. The opportunity to buy here is still possible, but the experts agree; the time to act is now before demand forces prices up.

Friday Harbour Resort celebrates milestone REPRESENTATIVES FROM the Friday

Harbour partnership, ConDrain Group, Geranium Corp., Optus Capital and Pemberton Group welcomed more than 3,000 guests Sept. 12 to a milestone celebration at the $1.5-billion Friday Harbour Resort in Innisfil. The event marked the completion of one of Canada’s largest inland marinas.

“Thank you to Friday Harbour partners for believing that Innisfil was the place for this magnificent resort, which has already provided tremendous economic benefits to our town,” said the town’s mayor, Gord Wauchope. Some of the benefits include approximately 1,000 permanent jobs on the resort and 1,500 off-site upon completion, along with almost 8,000 person years in employment during construction.

The excavation of the marina basin and construction of the marina is an engineering milestone, where approximately 170,000 truckloads of earth was moved within the 600-acre site to sculpt The Nest, the 18-hole championship golf course now under construction. Friday Harbour Marina is nearly filled with water and will provide 4.5 kilometres of newly created waterfront and berths for up to 1,000 boats.

A third of Friday Harbour Resort is designated as a nature preserve and a seven-km network of groomed trails will course through woodland, wetlands and meadows. Among its many Green initiatives is a significant replanting program for the endangered butternut tree species, established and approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Since the opening of Friday Harbour Resort’s Vaughan-based sales centre in May 2014, sales have been brisk. Progress on the community includes accelerating the

release of more residential phases for sale, and the start of construction on the first condominium buildings.

Residents and guests of this worldclass resort will enjoy a multitude of activities throughout the year only 45 minutes from the Greater Toronto Area, which is accessible by GO Train.

Along the marina’s edge, a 4.5-km boardwalk will feature restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, festivals and a farmers’ market. Residents will also have membership in a large Lake Club, overlooking the water.

Buyers can select from four condominium styles. In the Marina Village, Boardwalk Condos are

The Friday Harbour sales centre is located in Maple, on the grounds of Eagles Nest Golf Club at 10,000 Dufferin St., just north of Major Mackenzie Drive in Vaughan. For more information, or to inquire about onsite tours, call 647.351.0991 or visit fridayharbourresort.com

TINA’S favourite fall finds

By Tina Holmes

WITH MORE THAN 300 renovation and decor specialists at Toronto’s upcoming Fall Home Show, there are many innovative products and great design solutions to inspire a wide array of projects for your home. Here are a few of my favourite fall finds this year at the show, which runs from Oct. 1 - 4 at the Better Living Centre, Exhibition Place, Toronto.

1 4

5. Bring warmth and light into your home with Fusion Paint. The mineral-based furniture paint provides a best-in-class paint that features an environmentally conscious formulation, zero VOCs, superior durability, easy one-step application and significantly improved strength.

6. A division of Lakehouse

3

Cabinetry, U-Build has created a custom cabinetry system that allows people to feel a part of the design process.

There are no limitations to cabinetry sizes to maximize usage of every inch of the space. The cabinetry is cut, painted and packaged for shipping or pick-up and ready for assembly at your location. A trade professional or an accomplished DIY is recommended for the assembly and installation.

6

1. It’s all about the experience. See more, feel more with the all-new SUHD TV from Samsung. Incredible picture quality and breakthrough nanocrystal technology with radiant colours, striking contrast and crystal clarity brings you closer to what you watch.

2. First Alert introduces the Onelink Wifi Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm, its first smart home products and devices. With its 10-year battery, there is no more low battery chirps in the middle of the night, no wobbling on a ladder to replace batteries. Receive notifications remotely and test or silence your alarm from your iPhone with the Onelink app.

7. Have No Fear! Condo

3. Welcoming a new brilliance never before seen in stone design, Cambria introduces Brittanicca and Ella, two new sources of countertop inspiration to the Marble Collection. Combining exquisite elegance and upscale designs, these additions provide classic elegance without the worry and high maintenance.

4. Growing food for your family has never been this easy and enjoyable.

The NutriTower is the first indoor growing method to use vertical lighting and a hydroponic system.

7

Handyman is here! Condo Handyman specializes in helping condo residents who have a long list of to-do’s and limited space to store tools and supplies.

Condo Handyman tackles small or large projects from tile re-grouting, drywall, painting, flooring and electrical to hanging mirrors, window covering or art.

Tina Holmes is the show manager for the Toronto Fall Home Show. More than 20 years in the industry makes her a leading authority on the ins and outs of home decor and renovation.

Rosehaven launches second release of new Towndominiums designs

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

A STRIKING ADDITION to Brampton’s

highly successful planned neighbourhood, these urban towns are popular with buyers looking for vibrant contemporary designs.

Though the starting price from the low $300’s is great for first-time buyers, Rosehaven’s Towndominiums have wide appeal. They’re the best of both worlds, delivering all the carefree convenience of condominium living in a townhome development.

In look and feel, Towndominiums

are designed to encapsulate modern urban lifestyles with their modern black brick and stucco exteriors with glass balconies. These new concept townhomes are totally on-trend with their clean lines, open interiors, contemporary finishings – and oversized windows that provide “eyes on the street.”

Expected to sell quickly, the new release of Towndominiums includes both two- and three-bedrooms from 838 to 1,230 sq. ft. with a mix of one-

level and two-storey designs.

With a wide selection of singles coming in October and Towndominiums just released, as well as a limited selection of Phase 2 homes remaining to choose from, families will find many home options at Mount Pleasant.

Visit the sales centre at 10585 Mississauga Rd., or online at lovemountpleasant.com, or stay in touch on Facebook and Twitter.

Property Profile | MATTAMY HOMES

Naturally beautiful Cranberry Hill invites you to call Waterdown home SOME TIME AGO, Mattamy discovered the appeal of Cranberry Hill and has recently returned to provide an evolution of its familyfriendly offerings. Waterdown is an ideal focal point for all the Golden Horseshoe has to offer. It’s strategically connected to all the region’s highways – Hwys. 403, 6, 407 and 401 – so yes, you can get there from here. And there and anywhere. Near enough to the city of Toronto, Waterdown still offers the unspoiled charms natural living.

Mattamy is well known for creating wonderfully master-planned communities and Cranberry Hill is no exception. Inspired by, and respecting the local landscape, features such as greenspaces, parks, playgrounds, plus walking and bicycling trails complement the neighbourhood. A small-town charm is evident and manifested through friendly features like generous front porches that harken back to an era when neighbours and passers-by would wave and catch up on local happenings. Mattamy’s specialized architectural approach puts people ahead of cars as you’ll see when you notice

the homes’ discreet, recessed garages. You’ll probably notice gentle curves in the streets, there to reduce the speed of traffic and, of course, the network of paths give residents real options to driving.

The streetscapes in Mattamy communities are also universally recognized as fresh and visually stimulating. That’s largely a design consideration that encourages a homeowner to personalize the home, both in decor and even, with the unique ability to choose from Architect’s Choice Options, to alter plans so that personal preferences in living style can also be accommodated.

In Cranberry Hill, you will discover an inspiring mix of inspired detached homes that all offer a contemporary urban flavour. Though you may choose to live just outside the city, it seems you needn’t sacrifice any of the creature comforts a modern home can provide. Reassuringly, Mattamy has not forgotten natural appeal in the fundamental design approaches.

Take note of the oversized windows Mattamy’s designers choose to use.

Not only do they allow an abundance of natural light into your home, they also allow you to gaze out upon the benefits of living naturally right here in the heart of southern Ontario.

The Cranberry Hill Sales Centre is located at 485 Dundas St. E., Waterdown, 289.431.1026.

Presentation centre hours are Monday to Thursday 1 to 8 p.m.; Friday 1 to 6 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday and holidays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Advice | MONEY MATTERS

How to fix your credit history

By Gail Vaz-Oxlade

AT UNIVERSITY, Dixie was slow paying her cell phone bill. While her service was never discontinued, she did carry a balance from month to month that she cleared at the end of each school year.

Last year, when Dixie applied for a car loan, she was turned down because of her less-than-perfect repayment history. She’s worried about the future and how her past borrowing mistakes will haunt her when it comes time to buy a home.

Sound familiar?

If you see yourself reflected in Dixie’s story, no doubt by now you know you’re not the only person in this particular leaky boat.

Unfortunately, many people have no experience managing credit and make mistake after mistake: » they make their payments late » they go over their credit limits

» they have a b’zillion credit cards in their wallets » they miss making their payments, or worse » they stop making payments completely when they feel there’s no end to their misery.

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

If you’ve fallen behind and your credit record has become tarnished, where should you go from there?

First, you’ve got to get yourself some credit again so that you can demonstrate what a good job you can do managing it. The only way to establish a credit history is to use and repay credit. There are a number of ways to go about rebuilding your

credit history.

Start by taking out a loan to make an investment (another good reason to start a retirement savings plan).

Make your monthly payments on time and build a shiny new credit history.

Since the institution that’s giving you the loan will also be holding the retirement savings, the credit procedure is far less stringent than it normally would be.

You can also ask a co-signer or guarantor to help you get a small loan of, say, $1,000, which you would then pay off over three months. It would cost you in interest, but you would be back on track credit-wise.

Don’t want to incur the interest costs? Apply for a “secured” credit card. With a secured credit card, you put up cash to cover your balance.

Lenders often want twice the credit card limit, so if you want a $500 credit limit, you’ll have to ante up $1,000.

Once you’ve established your ability to manage the card — anywhere from six months to a year — you can ask for the security requirement to be dropped and your deposit returned.

Thinking of hiring a credit-repair company? Don’t bother. Credit repair companies can’t do anything you can’t do yourself. A credit bureau will not remove accurate negative information from your credit report before the legal time period has expired, so don’t get suckered by anyone who claims they can mop up your credit disasters faster. There are no “loopholes.” The only way to fix a poor credit rating is to be smart about how you use credit. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

THE TORONTO BEACHES IS AN UBER

popular east end neighbourhood (officially known as The Beach but long-time residents refer to it as The Beaches). The area is celebrated for its swimmable sandy beaches, quaint specialty shops, great restaurants and chillaxed atmosphere.

Lifestyle If you’ve always wanted to live by a beach in a community surrounded by modern amenities, look no further than this east end hood – it could be your dream neighbourhood scenario.

The Toronto Beaches has a lot to offer every demographic, from families and couples to young urbanites and empty-nesters. With the beach, cool shops, great restaurants, cafes and practical services, this community has it going on.

Vibe Think beach town meets city living. People are drawn to this neighbourhood because of its laidback vibe, family-friendly atmosphere

and walkable amenities. You can ditch your car for a surfboard and walk to everything you need!

Meet the Neighbours Residents are very protective of this community’s small-town feel, and many know each other and get involved. On any given weekend, you can find the community getting together for a charity event or street party of some kind.

In The Area It’s a coveted area to live, which ultimately drives up house prices. The average detached home is more than $874,922. But, being such a desirable area, buying real estate here is a very smart investment.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles This neighbourhood has everything you need within walking distance. Streetcars are a favoured mode of transit, with the Queen Street 501 providing easy downtown access. The area is also well-connected via six bus routes.

The Good, the Bad & the Rest The main hub along Queen Street East is always hopping, as a haven for great shops, restaurants and cafes. The social centre of Toronto Beaches is Kew Gardens, which hosts the annual Jazz Festival and has an amazing kids’ play park. Several kilometres of boardwalk allow you to walk the sandy beaches.

Real Estate The community comes alive in the summer, and you’ll feel like you’re holidaying in your own neighbourhood.

But since this area is so popular in the warmer months, you will have to contend with throngs of tourists along the streets and vying for your favourite patio spot along Queen.

Sara is executive editor of Home Decor and Renovations, where she works behind the scenes to make the magazine come to life. This self-proclaimed magazine junkie always knew she wanted to be an editor –she continually brings her love of all things design and decor related to our pages.
