STYLE IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
DURABILITY DRIVES VALUE
SUSTAINABILITY MAKES SENSE
EFFICIENCY IS IMPERATIVE
PRECISION ISPARAMOUNTSTRENGTH MATTERS
HEALTHY HOMES HELP YOU
The expression of style through the most visible layer of a home is very important. Our in-house team of cutting edge professional Interior Designers ensure that every Landmark Home has sublime style. But, just like people, the most beautiful homes are gorgeous inside and out. We love putting the stylish finishing touches on our homes because they express the beauty of what’s inside them: strength, efficiency, durability, health, precision and sustainability.
A home is your largest investment. You can live in a durable home for much longer with minimal maintenance costs, and enjoy a home that shows little wear and tear. Millimetre precision (from building with cutting edge technology without harsh outdoor weather or human error) as well as unmatched strength (through spray foam insulation and engineered lumber) is key to a durable home.
Sustainability means that all humans and natural systems can continue to have living conditions and enough resources to flourish forever. We build homes that last using building methods that are easy on the earth, like sourcing safe local materials that last, minimizing construction waste and demand for natural resources, and crafting homes with reduced energy demands – or that produce their own energy using solar power!
Energy efficient homes use minimal energy to stay very comfortable. Triple pane low-e argon filled windows combined with spray foam insulation make a great building envelope. A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) and Tankless Hot Water System are also key technologies. Energy efficient homes create a win-win-win: for the earth, your pocketbook, and your family’s comfort.
The precision with which each part of your home fits together has a huge impact on how well it can function - from keeping the air healthy to minimizing energy requirements. A home’s every piece and part needs millimetre precision. This requires talented people doing their best work with the help of leading edge technology like climate controlled building space, robotics with millimetre precision, mechanical muscle, and engineered lumber. People plus technology create a home of uncompromised quality.
The materials and process used to build a new home dramatically affect the strength of that home. Make sure your home starts with a strong foundation built to the unique needs of the lot’s soil. Then, be sure to use engineered lumber throughout the home, and add spray foam to the walls to strengthen them further.
Air pollution, radiation from technology, and toxins in our food and body products give our bodies enough work. Why not lighten your body’s load by having a home with a great building envelope that protects you from outdoor pollutants and allergens? Also make sure your home’s building OSB is free of carcinogenic urea-formaldehyde, only use water based lacquer, and choose paints and grouts low in VOCs. Additionally, opt for spray foam insulation, as it mitigates mould growth.

//EDITOR’S NOTE
When buying or selling a home, it’s important to know the current
conditions of your market. Is it a buyers’ or sellers’ market? Knowing the difference could help you time, plan and execute your transaction. And, of course, there’s a third possibility – a balanced market – and that’s where most major Canadian centres sit, according to the Conference Board of Canada.
In the organization’s June 2015 Metro Resale Snapshot, a rising sales-to-listings ratio between April and May in 18 areas indicated broad market tightening.
Buyers’ or sellers’ market? Understanding the current conditions of your market will help you plan, time and execute your decision
Long-term commitment Will afford you peace of mind
Balanced conditions prevailed in 16 markets, while seven were in a buyers’ state and five favoured sellers. Eleven areas – including Edmonton – enjoyed at least a five-per-cent increase.
Despite stronger sales, listings rose in only 14 markets between April and May, and in 17 areas from May 2014. The monthly increases were invariably small; only five areas had a gain of at least five per cent.
It might surprise you to learn that, despite all the publicity due to the oil slump, Edmonton remains in balanced territory. This speaks to the long-term health of this market.
W hether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your
first place, changing homes can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax.
You can eliminate the anxiety associated with moving by taking control of the situation with confidence.
Understanding the market is just part of the story. Knowing what you need and what you can afford is the more important part of the equation. Making a prudent purchasing decision
that doesn’t keep you up at night when interest rates rise or market news becomes the talk of the town is up to you.
Any expert will tell you that buying a home or condo is a long-term commitment. This issue is full of great tips from the experts, as well as the latest news designed to help you make a wise purchasing decision.
Along with our community profile features, which outline the specifics on many fine communities, there’s lots to take in. So kick back, relax and enjoy. You’re in the driver’s seat.

Recreational lake front property has long been exclusively thought of as a summer treat. From that first warm weekend at
the end of May, residents of cottage country do their best to squeeze in as much time at the lake before the leaves and snow fall.
There is, however, a new development in Alberta that offers the exclusive benefits of lakeside living year-round. Whether prospective buyers are looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, The Estates at Waters Edge offers unique, single-family homes to accommodate a range of budgets and lifestyles.
This secure, gated development is situated 45 minutes west of Edmonton on the shore of Lac St. Anne. As a perennial community equipped with resort-style amenities, residents enjoy the beauty that every season has to offer. Summer activities include water sports, fishing, walking, biking, or golfing at a nearby course. Winter brings its own selection of outdoor ac-tivities, including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. For skating and hockey enthusiasts, there is an outdoor NHL-sized ice rink, complete with a skate change and warm-up facility. Access to a private boat launch and a maintained marina allows for carefree boating enjoyment. For social gather-ings, a clubhouse, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accommodate gatherings both small and large.
Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Architecture Team to keep turn-around time to a minimum. Most home builders charge a fee for any changes to their plans, however, this service is complementary for buyers who choose to build with Waters Edge. Owners can also choose to purchase an un-developed lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guide-lines.
Waters Edge homes have been designed in a timeless Craftsman-style and are available in an array of two to four bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,150 to 2,500+ sq.ft.. Layouts and room sizes are completely customizable to ensure that each plan meets the buyer’s needs. Yards are fully landscaped and can include a choice of parking pad, attached or detached garage. A variety of high-quality interior finishing packages are also available and owners can rest easy knowing that their residence comes with a 10-year Progressive Home Warranty to ensure the highest home construction quality.
Lot prices start in the low $100,000’s, and two bedroom residences with completely landscaped lots start in the low $300,000’s.
Two brand new showhomes are now open and available for immediate possession. Contact Mike at 780-405-6378 or 1-877-405-1105 or visit watersedgeestates.ca for more information.

Edmontonstill going strong
Edmontonians are demonstrating their continued con� dence in the Capital Region’s bright economic future by investing in new homes
Builders have started work on 8,000 new homes so far in 2015 – a surge of over two-thirds from already strong levels last year. Interest in the multi-family sector is driving a lot of that activity but single family construction is up a solid 5% with almost 2,500 home starts.
� at strong performance isn’t what some housing market analysts expected back in January but the Alberta economy has shown great resilience in the face of lower oil prices. A look at the fundamentals helps explain why.
For one thing, the province continues to be seen as a beacon of opportunity. Alberta gained another 6,700 in population in the � rst three months of the year because of people voting with their feet – more people moved to the province than moved out. A rising population creates demand that helps generate new investment and employment.
� e labour market is also a sign of strength. A year after oil prices dropped from $100-plus a barrel Alberta’s economy has created 38,000 new jobs – 6,000 of them in Edmonton. � e province’s 5.8% unemployment rate is a full point below the national average and only Saskatchewan and Manitoba boast lower levels.
Home buyers today also bene� t from low interest rates. It seems hard to believe now that in the 1980s home buyers faced � ve-year mortgage rates of more than 15% and some unlucky buyers locked in at rates above 20%. � at was like having your mortgage on a Visa card.
Financial institutions now o� er � ve-year rates of around 2.75% and that allows borrowers to make rapid progress on paying o� debt.
To keep the math simple let’s use $100,000 as the loan amount and a plan to pay that o� in 25 years.
In the � rst year of a 15% mortgage, less than $500 would be knocked o� the principal and interest charges over 12 months would top $14,000. At 2.75%, the new homeowner in

the � rst year of the mortgage would pay o� almost $2,800 in principle – interest charges would be less than that.
Edmonton also remains an attractive market compared to many Canadian cities.
A recent RBC Economics report shows that buying a standard two-storey home here would require a qualifying income of about $84,000. Payments for the mortgage, utilities and taxes would eat up about 35% of a household’s monthly payments.
Buying the same house in Toronto would require income of $146,000 and payments would consume 67% of the family budget. � e numbers are almost o� the charts for Vancouver.
Edmonton’s healthy and a� ordable housing market is an advantage that extends to the wider economy. A recent study for CHBA showed that residential construction in metro area generates 52,500 jobs, wages of $3.4 billion and $6.9 billion in investment.
� at’s a huge boost to the local economy and another reason Edmonton remains a smart place to invest in the home of your dreams.
� e Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents over 1,500 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

Buying the same house in Toronto would require income of $146,000 and payments would consume 67% of the family budget. � e numbers are almost o� the charts for Vancouver.
Edmonton’s healthy and a� ordable housing market is an advantage that extends to the wider economy. A recent study for CHBA showed that residential construction in metro area generates 52,500 jobs, wages of $3.4 billion and $6.9 billion in investment.
� at’s a huge boost to the local economy and another reason Edmonton remains a smart place to invest in the home of your dreams.
� e Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents over 1,500 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

CANADIANS EXPECT TO PAY $60K IN MORTGAGE INTEREST
It’s a scary question many homeowners are afraid to answer: how much will your mortgage interest total over the lifetime of your mortgage? Well, wonder no more – a recent poll from BMO Bank of Montreal has the answer: $60,000.
But that’s the average for Canada overall. Some will pay more, some less.
• While the average amount Canadians expect to pay in mortgage interest is $57,938, the figure rises to its highest in Canada for residents in BC at $95,891. Homeowners in Atlantic Canada expect to pay the least, at $35,454
• Canadians expect an increase in interest rates over the next five years (60 per cent), with 48 per cent expecting a small increase and 12 per cent a large increase
• Most Canadian mortgage holders (67 per cent) currently hold a fixed rate mortgage, sheltering them against any potential upswings
“It’s quite telling of the extended low-rate environment that a sizeable percentage of respondents do not expect interest rates to go up in the next five years,” says Sal Guatieri, senior economist, BMO Capital Markets. “Hopefully, many have not been lulled into thinking that rates will never go up, as they could be tempted into taking on too much debt.”
It’s not surprising that British Columbians are paying the most mortgage interest, as house prices in that
//IN THE NEWS
province are the highest in the country, he says. The average was $623,000 in April, compared with $437,000 nationwide and $456,000 in Ontario.
“In any interest rate environment, it’s important that Canadians stress-test their mortgage against a higher rate to ensure they can afford it over the long term,” says Martin Nel, vice-president of personal lending and investment products, BMO Bank of Montreal. AVERAGE AGE OF MORTGAGE FREEDOM INCHES HIGHER On average, Canadians expect to become mortgage-free by the age of 59 – up from 58 in the last two years. One-third (31 per cent) expect still to be making mortgage payments on their 65th birthday. “Considering a shorter amortization of 25 years or less can help Canadians save thousands of dollars in interest rate costs over the life of the mortgage; this improves long-term affordability, while ensuring Canadians pay down their mortgage faster and begin building equity in their home sooner,” says Nel. TIPS TO BECOME MORTGAGE-FREE FASTER Think carefully about fixed versus variable: While variable rate mortgages have been a winning strategy over the long term, fixed rate mortgages (currently near historic lows) come with the peace of mind of being insulated against rate increases. Stress-test your mortgage: Gauging the stability of your mortgage by stress testing it against a higher interest rate can help establish a plan to ensure long term affordability.

Paving stone vs. concrete
//HOMEBUYERS’ HELP
Paving stone driveways and walks provide you with a unique and a ordable way to add a touch of your own design and style to your home’s landscaping, while increasing the overall value.
� e reasons to install a paving stone driveway versus pouring a concrete slab are endless; adding beautiful curb appeal is only the beginning. � e bene� ts are many. In our shifting climate, concrete slab driveways and sidewalks are prone to cracking, and developing unsightly lines that get worse with every freeze and thaw cycle. Concrete has no outlet for the expansion and contraction that happens with seasonal change. Paving stones are a much better option in Alberta – since they are a “� exible pavement,” paving stones are able to move with freezing and thawing, thereby avoiding cracks. Paving stones are manufactured with less water content than “poured in place concrete,” so the stones are more durable and last longer. Not only will your driveways and walks look nice and last longer, you will have also considerably increased the value of your home.
It is important to meet with a quali� ed landscaping contractor who has installed many paving stones projects. Ask a few simple questions, ask to see photos of similar work that has been completed and ask for references you can contact. A quality landscaping professional should put you at ease with their experience, and should have a website for you to view their work and credentials.
If the prep work required for a long lasting paving stone job is not done correctly, the results can be an expensive repair after one season, not to mention potentially dangerous. Today, paving stones are available in several design possibilities; a� ording you the opportunity to create a more visually pleasing and unique paved surface with the variety of shapes, sizes and colours choices. Working together with your landscaping contractor is vital to the long term success and durability of your paving stone project.
At Shane’s Landscaping & Contracting, we recommend using paving stones on driveways in an interlocking pattern, since this is proven to be the most durable for vehicular tra� c. Our skilled, certi� ed installers can lay your driveway with added touches such as lighting and individual design choices, making your driveway the envy of the neighborhood. We stand by the quality of our work. We are not happy until you are happy!
Shane’s Landscaping & Contracting Ltd. is locally owned and specializes in residential, estate and acreage landscape construction. From patios to water features, driveways, retaining walls, lighting, walkways, fences, irrigation, garden beds, boulders, barbecue, � re pits and the new synthetics grasses, we can help make your landscaping beautiful. Planning your landscaping is an exciting time and we are here to help. Our team of friendly knowledgeable and hardworking sta can make your landscaping dream a reality.

ALBERTA RECREATIONAL PROPERTY ON SALE – maybe
Recreational property is usually the first real estate category to be hit when the economy softens, and nowhere is this true more at the moment than in Alberta.
“Mirroring the situation in the urban Alberta real estate market, the slump in oil prices and resulting unsettled consumer con� dence has reduced the number of recreational properties trading hands in the province and in eastern British Columbia this spring,” Phil Soper, president and chief executive of Royal LePage, told New Home Guide.
Royal LePage recently released its 2015 Recreational Property Report, which indicated a depressed energy sector is reducing activity levels and putting downward pressure on prices.
“Prices are � at or only down slightly, year over year, as owners have been unwilling to let their properties go at a

“As with other regions of the country, Americans have woken up to the much increased purchasing power of their currency, and are shopping the streets of communities like Canmore in numbers not seen since the 2000s.”
In a roundabout way, the fall in oil prices is supporting the recreational property market this year, Soper says.
“Cheaper gasoline makes the prospect of a weekend commute to the lake a more a� ordable proposition. And cheap oil means a lower Canadian dollar, which has more people looking at Muskoka, Tremblant and the BC interior, and fewer casting covetous glances at Florida and Arizona. We are even seeing money making its way north, particularly in British Columbia, Alberta and Atlantic Canada, as the strong U.S. currency has increased American buying power.”

WILL THE HOUSING OUTLOOK IMPROVE AS QUICKLY AS IT FELL?
What a di� erence six months makes. At its kick-o� Annual Housing Outlook Conference in Toronto in November, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. didn’t see it coming. � e forecast back then was, short of an “unforeseen economic shock,” the housing outlook for Canada overall was pretty much full steam ahead.
“� e housing market does have a fairly bright outlook,” Bob Dugan, chief economist for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., told New Home Guide at the time. “� ere are a few risks we have our eye on. One of them relates to the high level of (highrise) units that are under construction.” � ese are trending slightly above the historic average.
� en oil went into a slide, wreaking all kinds of havoc on the economy and housing outlook.
Indeed, the impact of lower oil prices on housing markets has been marked and swift, particularly in Alberta.
“Lower oil prices are contributing to disparities between provincial housing markets,” Dugan said in releasing CMHC’s second quarter 2015 Housing
Market Outlook. “A slowdown in housing starts and resale transactions in oil-producing provinces such as Alberta will be partly o� set by increased housing market activity in other provinces, such as Ontario and British Columbia, which bene� t from the positive impacts of declining energy prices, a lower Canadian dollar and continued low mortgage rates.”
Once oil prices return to “normal,” will the housing outlook improve as quickly as it fell?
“� e forecast presented at the 2014 Housing Outlook Conference was prepared shortly after the decline in oil prices had begun,” Dugan told New Home Guide in June. “At that time, the decline in oil prices was less pronounced and there was considerable uncertainty as to how far they might fall. As a result, the potential impacts of lower oil prices were re� ected in our forecast ranges, which allowed for lower oil prices and their impacts on housing starts, MLS sales and MLS average house prices.
“Since then, oil prices have declined further, but now appear to have stabilized in the U.S.$50 to $60 per barrel range. We have seen a rapid response to these lower oil prices in the housing markets in oil producing regions, particularly in Alberta. As a result, we have made downward revisions to our forecasts and now expect declines in MLS Sales, housing starts and MLS average house prices in Alberta.
“� e swiftness of any recovery will depend on how fast oil prices rise and by how much. We continue to use forecast ranges which allow for a range of possible upside and downside risks to the forecast.”

GET CLOSER TONATURE AT ALLARDIN HERITAGE VALLEY
United Communities is excited to announce the opening of their four new showhomes in Edmonton’s
desirable southwest community of Allard. “We had a grand opening of four new show homes by Parkwood Master Builder, Caliber Master Builder, Kimberley Homes and White Eagle Homes on June 13. And we’re delighted by our award winning builders’ unique homes with many fabulous features,” says Donna Bygrave of United Communities.
Allard is also touted as the up-and-coming area in Heritage Valley – it’s located south of Ellerslie Road off 30th Avenue SW, just east of 111th Street. The community is close to an array of amenities and proximate to many of the city’s main arterials, including the Queen Elizabeth II Hwy. and the Anthony Henday. South Edmonton Common and the Currents of Windermere are mere minutes away; there are three golf courses nearby, oodles of professional amenities and plenty of grocery stores and restaurants.
Plans are in place for a new multi-use town centre to be the social and economic heart of the community. And when complete, Allard will have a new LRT station, unique main-street style shopping area, and tons of parks, walking trails and recreational space.
Speaking of recreational space, Allard’s stats for outdoor entertainment are impressive. The community touts over 27 acres of park/greenspace, 6.4 acres of which are constructed
wetland landscaped with natural foliage. Plus, Blackmud Creek Ravine is easily accessible for year-round outdoor pursuits. There’s also a community skating rink that’s actually used year-round for all sports.
Bygrave says that in talking with residents of Allard, “they love the walking paths that run through the entire community and even connect to walking paths in communities to the north. They are also excited about the future LRT coming to their neighbourhood, plus the fact that there is a school approved in Allard and the future Town Centre.
Allard is an up-and-coming area in Heritage Valley
//COMMUNITY PROFILE
“I guess it’s not possible to talk about just one thing… there are so many incredible things coming.” That includes construction of a new interchange just minutes from Allard’s doorstep. (The interchange will connect 41st Avenue SW to Hwy. 2.)
Allard has an array of housing options to choose from, and with the new stages and showhomes, there are lots of new opportunities to buy and build a home for your family to grow in. “Our earlier community development in Allard were estate homes. The lots in stages four and five are smaller, so you can build a home from somewhere in the mid $500,000s, depending on how big the home is and the finishes inside.”
To learn more about Allard and to see four showhomes by some of the city’s best home builders, visit the showhome parade at Allard Boulevard and Amerongen Crescent. You can also learn more about Allard’s home builders and amenities at allardheritagevalley.ca

34 NEW HOME GUIDE | JULY 3 - 31, 2015
1. STREAMLINE/DE-CLUTTER. Easier said than done I know, but is crucial in keeping your small space look larger. 3 Q’s to ask when decluttering, Do I love it? Do I need it? Have I used it in the last year? Storage, storage, storage. Whenever possible use built-in storage to optimize your space. Look in japanese or asian inspired design books for inspiration and storage ideas. They are masters at small space planning!
2. SCALE. “LESS IS MORE.” Don’t get stuck buying all “apartment-sized” furniture—you live in a small space, but not a doll house. If you must have that large sofa, then pair it down with smaller dining chairs, or smaller coffee table. Use the online space planners to ensure you have enough room to move around. Always a better effect to use furniture, pattern, and colour in correct proportions in a small space.
3. MIRRORS. Mirrors can double the size of a room, use them appropriately and that makes sense to the design scheme. Try using mirrored furniture to bounce light around a room, instead of always on the wall, or add a bold graphic white stripe to bounce light around.
4. LIGHTING. Utilize all the natural light you can, this is always optimal. But if you are in an east facing apartment with one little window, you know what I’m talking about when I mean dreary winters! Use floor lamps, uplights, table lamps, candles – these are all great ways to expand your space.
5. COLOUR. Test. Test and then Test again! Use colour to expand you space. Whether it be on a wall, all the walls, or just in accessories and art, bring bright, bold colour into your space. Make it successful by tying it into your entire home creating flow from room to room, always a winning scenario in small spaces. General rule of thumb is that cooler colours make rooms recede, therefore making the space feel larger, but I am a firm believer that you can have darker shades in your small space, simply by adding more lighting and/or contrast to those darker colours.
6. MULTI-PURPOSE. Think outside of the box when decorating. Look for ways to make your space do double duty. That nook in your kitchen can turn into a home office, your ottoman can be a coffee table, or extra seating. And, my favorite, buy two host chairs that can double as extra chairs in the living room, but when entertaining for dinner, they can be pulled up to your table for seating.
TOP 10 SMALL SPACE DESIGN TIPSBY C. MARIE HEBSON
7. FOCAL POINT. The first place to start is with the most interesting spot. Your focal point can be anything you want to highlight and/or the most interesting design element in the room. Yours could be your great view of the city, or, a big, flat screen TV. You may want your focal point to be your gorgeous sofa you just bought – whatever your focal point is, make it grab your attention when you walk into the room!
8. NEUTRALS. Layering tone on tone is a very effective way to make small rooms feel larger. If done right it won’t be boring either. My favorite neutrals are charcoal, cream, white, chrome, chocolate with warm blacks. Be thoughtful with your use of textures and patterns of neutrals, although you may think this scheme is easy, it is in fact very difficult to get it looking right. When done properly is very effective and timeless!
9. ACCESSORIES. Bring a chic, polished look to your own home. Pick gorgeous black and white reproductions or have your favourite pictures blown up and framed in simple wrapped canvas frames. Hunt down large mirrors to add to the living and bedroom and buy inexpensive, brightly coloured vases and bowls in electric orange, lime green and candy apple red for unexpected hits of colour. Remember, when it comes to accessories, bigger is better, less is more!
10. WALL ART / WALLPAPER. Add a wall tattoo or wall paper to your small space, it can be subtle or bold, it could be opaque, shiny or a shade darker than your paint. For wallpapers, there are literally millions of variables, I challenge you to head to your local paint or wallpaper store to have a look. I guarantee you will be amazed at the variety available to you. Afraid of a commitment to wallpaper? Try applying it to a large canvas rather than your wall - cool way to get texture and colour without having to commit!

01 Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income
of you and your spouse.
02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you
can afford to make on your home.
03 Take the total price of the home and subtract the
amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.
04 Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down
the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)
05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.
Divide by 1,000.
06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and
monthly property taxes.
07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your
gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.
Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home
» 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.
Calculate your mortgage payments
// HOMEBUYERS’ HELP
MORTGAGE TYPESALL MORTGAGES ARE OF TWO BASIC TYPES:
CONVENTIONAL:The buyer can borrow up to 80% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less.The buyer has to pay 20% down. A conventional mortgage cannot exceed 80% of the value of the property.
INSURED OR HIGH-R ATIO:A buyer can borrow up to 95% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less. The down payment can be as low as 5%.
MORTGAGE OPTIONSYou can choose any of these mortgage options which fit into the two basic mortgage types. Lenders may even customize these options to suit your needs.
OPEN MORTGAGE:Allows borrowers to repay all or part of the total amount of their mortgage at any time without penalty.
Because of f lexibility, this is ideal for borrowers who plan to sell their homes in the near future or who want to switch from a short-term mortgage at high interest rates to a longer term when mortgage interest rates fall.
CLOSED MORTGAGE:Usually has the lowest interest rate available but lacks the f lexible features of other mortgage options.A good choice for those who want the security of knowing their monthly payment is fixed for a longer term.
Prepayment options are available but they are subjectto conditions.
PORTABLE MORTGAGE:Flexibility if borrowers move. Borrowers can take the mortgage to their new home or can transfer it (usually with the consent of the lender) to the purchaser of their old home. This is an attractive option if the rate on the existing mortgage is lower than current rates.

02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you
can afford to make on your home.
03 Take the total price of the home and subtract the
amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.
04 Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down
the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)
05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.
Divide by 1,000.
06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and
monthly property taxes.
07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your
gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.
Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home
» 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.

// HOMEBUYERS’ HELP
MORTGAGE TYPESALL MORTGAGES ARE OF TWO BASIC TYPES:
CONVENTIONAL:The buyer can borrow up to 80% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less.The buyer has to pay 20% down. A conventional mortgage cannot exceed 80% of the value of the property.
INSURED OR HIGH-R ATIO:A buyer can borrow up to 95% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less. The down payment can be as low as 5%.
MORTGAGE OPTIONSYou can choose any of these mortgage options which fit into the two basic mortgage types. Lenders may even customize these options to suit your needs.
OPEN MORTGAGE:Allows borrowers to repay all or part of the total amount of their mortgage at any time without penalty.
Because of f lexibility, this is ideal for borrowers who plan to sell their homes in the near future or who want to switch from a short-term mortgage at high interest rates to a longer term when mortgage interest rates fall.
CLOSED MORTGAGE:Usually has the lowest interest rate available but lacks the f lexible features of other mortgage options.A good choice for those who want the security of knowing their monthly payment is fixed for a longer term.
Prepayment options are available but they are subjectto conditions.
PORTABLE MORTGAGE:Flexibility if borrowers move. Borrowers can take the mortgage to their new home or can transfer it (usually with the consent of the lender) to the purchaser of their old home. This is an attractive option if the rate on the existing mortgage is lower than current rates.

MANY CANADIANS LOOKING TO LOCK INa long-term mortgage
Canada’s continuing low interest rate environment has Canadians thinking now is the time to lock in a long-term mortgage.
A new poll from CIBC reveals the majority of Canadians, 74 per cent, would opt for a medium or long-term mortgage if they were to acquire, refinance or renew a mortgage today. Twenty-seven per cent think now is the time to look beyond the traditional five-year fixed mortgage for a term of up to 10 years.
“Canadians are recognizing that today’s historically low rates won’t last forever and some are looking for ways to bring predictability to their finances over the long term,” says Barry Gollom, vice-president, mortgages and lending at CIBC. “Most Canadians tend to opt for a fixed rate over five years when choosing a mortgage today. With more than one in four Canadians now saying they would choose a longer term of seven or 10 years, we may be seeing the start of a shift to longer terms.”
BENEFITS OF A LONG-TERM MORTGAGE Locking in to a fixed rate, medium or long-term mortgage can reduce the stress that can come with following interest rates.
“If interest rates rise in the next year or two, homeowners with shorter term mortgages or variable rate mortgages could see their payments move higher,” Gollom says. “Having a medium or longer term fixed rate can act as a measure of stability and protection – especially for those who have recently bought their first home.”
The prospect of rising rates may not be something Canadians have to worry too much about in the near term. During its interest rate announcement on May 27, the Bank of Canada announced it was going to hold its overnight lending rate at 0.75 per cent.
“The overnight rate has only been sitting at 0.75 per cent for a little less than three months now, after Governor Stephen Poloz finally decided to cut it down from the one per cent it had held steady at for nearly 4.5 years,” says Alyssa Richard, founder and CEO of RateHub.ca. “That decision was made in January, in an attempt to shield highly indebted Canadians from the negative impacts of the significant drop in oil prices (and job losses that have occurred as a result).”
CIBC says the shift to longer term, fixed rate mortgages signals growing interest by Canadians to gain greater control and certainty over their largest financial obligation. With a consistent and predictable mortgage payment at today’s low rates guaranteed for many years, Canadians may have the opportunity to pay down their mortgage faster and minimize interest costs, which will help to keep them on track for their broader financial goals.
“Finding an expert who can crunch the numbers on a variety of mortgage options while factoring in your other debts, your savings goals and your personal risk tolerance is an extremely important part of the evaluation process,” says Gollom.

“If interest rates rise in the next year or two, homeowners with shorter term mortgages or variable rate mortgages could see their payments move higher,” Gollom says. “Having a medium or longer term fixed rate can act as a measure of stability and protection – especially for those who have recently bought their first home.”
The prospect of rising rates may not be something Canadians have to worry too much about in the near term. During its interest rate announcement on May 27, the Bank of Canada announced it was going to hold its overnight lending rate at 0.75 per cent.
“The overnight rate has only been sitting at 0.75 per cent for a little less than three months now, after Governor Stephen Poloz finally decided to cut it down from the one per cent it had held steady at for nearly 4.5 years,” says Alyssa Richard, founder and CEO of RateHub.ca. “That decision was made in January, in an attempt to shield highly indebted Canadians from the negative impacts of the significant drop in oil prices (and job losses that have occurred as a result).”
CIBC says the shift to longer term, fixed rate mortgages signals growing interest by Canadians to gain greater control and certainty over their largest financial obligation. With a consistent and predictable mortgage payment at today’s low rates guaranteed for many years, Canadians may have the opportunity to pay down their mortgage faster and minimize interest costs, which will help to keep them on track for their broader financial goals.
“Finding an expert who can crunch the numbers on a variety of mortgage options while factoring in your other debts, your savings goals and your personal risk tolerance is an extremely important part of the evaluation process,” says Gollom.

MANY CANADIANS LOOKING TO LOCK INa long-term mortgage
Canada’s continuing low interest rate environment has Canadians thinking now is the time to lock in a long-term mortgage.
A new poll from CIBC reveals the majority of Canadians, 74 per cent, would opt for a medium or long-term mortgage if they were to acquire, refinance or renew a mortgage today. Twenty-seven per cent think now is the time to look beyond the traditional five-year fixed mortgage for a term of up to 10 years.
“Canadians are recognizing that today’s historically low rates won’t last forever and some are looking for ways to bring predictability to their finances over the long term,” says Barry Gollom, vice-president, mortgages and lending at CIBC. “Most Canadians tend to opt for a fixed rate over five years when choosing a mortgage today. With more than one in four Canadians now saying they would choose a longer term of seven or 10 years, we may be seeing the start of a shift to longer terms.”
BENEFITS OF A LONG-TERM MORTGAGE Locking in to a fixed rate, medium or long-term mortgage can reduce the stress that can come with following interest rates.
“If interest rates rise in the next year or two, homeowners with shorter term mortgages or variable rate mortgages could see their payments move higher,” Gollom says. “Having a medium or longer term fixed rate can act as a measure of stability and protection – especially for those who have recently bought their first home.”

EDMONTON’S NEW RENTAL UNIT CONSTRUCTION SOARS IN 2015(PART 1)
In the first four months of 2015, housing unit starts in
the Edmonton region have grown 136% on an annual
basis*. While owner-intended starts have nearly
doubled by this measure, today’s construction is being
heavily bolstered by an insurgence in apartment rental
starts – 981 since January 2015*.
One obvious driver of this trend has been the region’s
consistently thin vacancy rates within professionally
managed rental buildings. For those looking to rent,
finding an apartment in this market can be daunting,
with many settling outside of desired areas, or for less
desirable options. This situation has caused average
rents in the region to grow faster than anywhere else
in Canada*.
Many real estate agents and new condo developers
now note that today’s rental costs closely resemble
the mortgage payment one might pay on a condo.
This point should seemingly hold close sentiment with
Edmontonians who maintain one of the highest housing
homeownership rates of all major Canadian regions*.
Local values like this may also help explain the success
of the region’s many apartment rental condo conversion
projects that took place between 2005 and 2011 – a
time when the primary rental market was reduced by
over 8,000 apartment units*. Furthermore, condos for
sale have experienced great success in recent years in
terms of sales and price growth, with the resale side of
this market experiencing continued price growth thus
far in 2015.
Given the above, one might ask why there is a need
to build new rentals when we can just promote further
homeownership in the new condo market.
The answer to this is an unforeseen real estate market
trend and an appearing, if not now apparent, consumer
trend. In past articles, we have written about the
opportunities for investment in Edmonton’s secondary
markets, as highlighted by the fact that while the city of
Edmonton’s entire stock of apartments grew by over
7000 units from 2012 to 2014, occupancy rental rates
remained stagnant at roughly 30 percent. All of this
occurred while the professionally managed stock of
rental apartments remained stagnant*.
It seems that developers of these new primary rental
projects have tuned into an emerging trend that was
previously being serviced primarily by secondary rental
market investors. What is this trend?
More on this next time…

EDMONTON’S NEW RENTAL UNIT CONSTRUCTION SOARS IN 2015(PART 2)
In our last article, we discussed a recent construction surge that has taken place in Edmonton’s professionally managed apartment rental market and proposed that the developers of these new projects had tuned into an emerging trend. So, what trend were we referring to?
In short, a fair proportion of consumers in the apartment rental market have started to show a preference towards high-quality rentals, or those with “condo-quality” finishes and features – a popular marketing term used when advertising these new rental properties.*
Specifically, commonly marketed new condo finishes such as tile flooring and granite countertops, and living features such as in-suite laundry and heated parking stalls now formulate a basis of comparison for what is considered high quality in Edmonton’s current rental markets. In general, these qualities are lacking in the city’s standing primary apartment rental market, where 75% of all units were built prior to 1980 and just 7% of units began construction after 2000.*
The demand for these qualities has been evident in recent years by two emerging trends.
Firstly, from the demand-driven expansion in Edmonton’s secondary rental market from 2012 to 2014. During this time, Edmonton’s secondary rental universe grew by roughly 2,100 units, while the primary rental stocks remained stagnant.** Intelligence House has found that, in general, these secondary market apartment units are much more likely to contain high-
quality finishes and features, which helps to explain why rent prices in this market have averaged 10% higher than those in the primary rental market since 2010.** Currently, vacancy rates in Edmonton’s secondary markets continue to remain at record lows.**
Secondly, the high-end new rental construction projects currently pre-leasing in this market have found great success thus far in achieving full lease rates during their construction projects through the use of presentation centres that look similar to those of new homeownership condo developments. One local developer of such projects recently told The Globe and Mail that he signs 1.5 leases/day for rental rates that average roughly $200/month above the average rent of the area.*
Looking forward, it is expected that more of these new high-end rental projects will begin pre-leasing in Edmonton’s market in the near future. Intelligence House will be closely monitoring the extent to which this trend may play out, and how it might affect the demand for Edmonton’s standing rental properties in its maturity.

LOW RATES CHANGING CANADIANS’ MORTGAGE HABITS
Canadians have been sitting, very comfortably, in an ultra-low mortgage interest rate environment for years now, and just when we thought rates couldn’t go any lower, they did, as the Bank of Canada dropped its key lending rate to 0.75 per cent, and the big banks followed suit. At the latest rate announcement earlier this week, that rate stayed put.
Twenty years ago, the rate for a � xed-rate � ve-year mortgage was 10.75 per cent.
Back in 1981, it was 20.25 per cent! (source: RateHub.ca) Today’s numbers in the two-per-cent range are hard to believe, and they’re changing how Canadians handle their debt load.
Canadians are doing everything they can to make the most of these low lending rates, according to the 2015 Mortgage Consumer Survey by conducted Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC).

SURVEY SAYS…According to CMHC, 60 per cent of mortgage renewers
did so before their mortgage term expired, and 55 per cent of them did it to avoid a rise in rates in the future.
Furthermore, mortgage renewers reported taking action to pay o� their mortgage sooner. Forty-nine per cent set their mortgage payment set higher than the minimum required, while 32 per cent made either lump-sum payments, increased their regular payment, or both.
GOING BROKER:CMHC also investigated the share of mortgage consumers who used the services of a mortgage broker. � e survey found that broker market share is on the rise, having increased from 32 per cent in 2012 to 42 per cent in 2015.
Almost twice as many homebuyers (both � rst-time and repeat) used a broker (49 per cent), versus existing homeowners who were re� nancing a mortgage (24 per cent).
THE LOYALTY PROGRAM:When it comes to loyalty, � rst-time homebuyers were
¤ ighty than their repeat-buyer counterparts. Renewers were more likely to stay with their current lender (86 per cent) whereas only 47 per cent of � rst-timers stuck with the � nancial institution they deal with regularly.
Interest rates were the main reason for consumers to jump ship to another lender, at 63 per cent.

June 30 is the busiest moving day of the year. If you’re planning to move on that day, it is time to book your mover now.
Two Men and a Truck - Canada has created guidelines to help customers make any moving day as stress-free as possible.
One approach that works well is to empty a closet a couple weeks before the move and place items you know you will need on moving day into that space. It’s great to leave your current place looking good, so cleaning supplies are a must, and you don’t want to be hunting around for them. You’ll want a broom, dustpan, mop, your vacuum, some sort of all-purpose cleaner and cleaning rags and towels. Put cleaning items and towels in a large bucket or plastic bin with a lid to keep them separate from your other stuff.
In your new place, have toilet tissue ready for each bathroom, along with hand soap and towels. Remember easy-to-serve snacks, water bottles, a first-aid kit, facial tissues and toys such as colouring books and crayons for the little ones.
Basic kitchen items will be handy too, such as dish
detergent, a sponge, plastic garbage bags, paper towels, paper plates and cups, a kettle and maybe a cooler. Remember a note pad, pen, scissors and pertinent phone numbers you may need, such as utilities companies (for both ends of the move), family members, real estate agent, lawyer and cable company. You’ll also need basic tools.
Think about the first 24 hours in your new place. You’ll need linens, soap, alarm clock, a change of clothes, phone chargers, important papers and money.
Be sure that your survival items are packed into the moving van last or transported in your vehicle with you. When you arrive, you’ll be fully prepared to begin life in your new home.

Who and what to believe?For homeowners, when someone says your home is drastically overvalued, naturally, you worry. If you’re a prospective homebuyer, such news might cause you to delay your purchase. at’s the power of housing valuations.
e problem is, who and what to believe?
Here are some recent examples of Canada’s housing valuations, from a variety of sources: Deutsche Bank: overvalued by 60 per centBank of Canada: overvalued by 30 per centInternational Monetary Fund: overvalued by 11 per centTD Bank: overvalued by 11 per centCanadian housing economist Will Dunning: undervalued by nine per cent
With such a wide variance in valuations, and using di� ering measures, who to believe, indeed?
“Far too many foreign economists try to make overly simpli� ed statements about foreign housing markets they don’t understand enough about,” Calum Ross, mortgage broker and real estate investor, told New Home Guide.
“Above and beyond the traditional measures, there are a number of less tangible measures, such as the stability of social, political and economic systems at the federal, provincial and municipal level.
“Canada represents one of single largest countries in the world and going from coast to coast, Canada is home to a very diverse group of people with local economics that are vastly di� erent,” Ross says. “Saying there is a Canadian housing market is no less ridiculous than saying there is ‘Canadian temperature.’”
ankfully, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) added some context recently in its House Price Analysis and Assessment (editor’s note: for more information, � ip to page 56), which provided a market-by-market snapshot by Canada’s larger centres. e report attached a risk level – low, moderate or high – for the major cities, using risk factors of overheating, acceleration in house prices, overvaluation and overbuilding.
With Regina and Winnipeg, of all places, being the only major centres earning “high risk” assessments, CMHC’s
report reminds everyone that housing markets must be assessed on a micro level, not wide-swathing national viewpoints. Canada’s most expensive market, Vancouver, earned a “low risk,” while Toronto, the other market often mentioned in conversations about overvaluation, was ranked as “moderate risk.”
“From a pure economic theory standpoint, when interest rates are low, then real asset prices will go up,” says Ross. “Real estate is one of the most interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the global economy. When it comes to mortgages, what we know is that people have a tendency to buy payments and be less concerned with total debt. e lower interest rates and longer amortizations allow for lower payment and as long as payments stay a� ordable – many people won’t get caught up with the sticker shock of more expensive real estate prices.”
So, who to believe, next time you see a report on Canada’s housing valuations? Well, a Canadian source such as CMHC is a good start. Otherwise, as experts stress, remember to look at your individual market for a clearer indication, not the national assessment.

Pack up your misconceptions
Many people faced with moving their residence think that packing is easy – a few boxes from the grocery or liquor store, some newspaper, a roll of tape and voila!
In fact, if you value your “stuff” and want it to arrive at your destination in good shape, packing involves much more consideration. This is especially true if you tend to be a bit disorganized at the best of times. Even if you pride yourself on being a stickler for details, you may benefit from a few tips on efficient packing.
The number-one thing to remember is to start packing several weeks ahead of your move-out/more-in date.
Done well, this process is amazingly time consuming, and packing in a hurry is usually counterproductive. Take your time to think everything through, and start with the items that are not critical
to unpack right away. Avoid the overwhelming nature of leaving things to the last minute.
Get some decent packing materials. Make sure boxes are sturdy so they will not collapse under the strain. Consider buying boxes from your mover. Rather than using newsprint, which tends to smudge everything it touches, purchase proper all-white newsprint packing paper. At the other end, you can smooth it out for reuse, or save it for the kids for drawing and painting. This paper is substantial and will protect your items while keeping them clean. The last thing you need at your destination residence is to have to wash dishes before arranging them in your cupboards. And speaking of dishes, did you know that packing them on their edges rather than flat can help to prevent breakage? Professional movers usually sell packing materials including boxes that are sized to stack neatly. This saves a lot of headaches on moving day.
One of the biggest mistakes do-it-yourselfer movers make is to over-pack. If you have ever tried to lift a huge carton filled with books, you know exactly what I mean.
At Two Men and a Truck Canada, we have a simple rule of thumb: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. Another great tip is to wrap small items like knickknacks in coloured tissue paper before surrounding them with packing paper so that you don’t accidentally throw them out when unpacking. Trust me, it’s easy to do with little things. Over-packing also applies to cramming too much into one box. Remember that as carefully as you pack them, items can shift in transit.
If packing is not your thing, your mover will give you an estimate to do the packing for you. Leaving it up to the professionals takes a lot of the worry out of packing.
You might want to let your children pack their own toys and games, so they feel important in the move and are assured that their items are coming with them. Be sure to take legal documents, medical records, expensive jewelry and any other pertinent papers and possessions with you personally. Keep in mind that a professional moving company cannot transport hazardous materials such as flammables. Think carefully before you decide to move these potentially dangerous items.
Be sure to label boxes on the top and on the sides to make it easier for whoever is distributing the cartons in your new home. Pack an essentials box of things you will need as soon as you move in and label it accordingly.
When it comes to moving a lot of items, a little common sense goes a long way.
