Deciding to move is easy

A painful reminder for us all

Looking for a new place can be

overwhelming. The stress of finding

something suitable, plus the pressure

to sign legally binding contracts can

create a lot of anxiety.

However, anxiety can be controlled

— if not eliminated — by managing

two important factors: how

prepared you are financially and how

knowledgeable you are about the

process. This includes the details of

your transaction, what is expected

from you from a legal standpoint and

all of your financial obligations.

With so much information available

these days on the web, it’s easy to

get distracted. For tips and financial

advice, and the latest property

listings available across Canada,

check out this issue and our website,

YPNextHome.ca. Not only will you

find an easy way to connect with

prospective properties, you’ll be able

to dig deep on details such as costs,

neighbourhood information and

much more.

Deciding to move is easy, finding a

place that matches your criteria can

be the tough part. Let us help. Drop

us a line and let us know if you have

any questions or comments. We’d

love to hear from you.

When an Act of God strikes a cruel

blow such as that delivered in

Fort McMurray, Alta. recently, one

immediate concern – after personal

safety – is home insurance.

Quite literally, when residents

are allowed to return, they have no

idea what they’re going home to.

Will my home still be there? Does my

home insurance cover fire damage?

Does it cover smoke damage? Are

our living expenses covered, having

been evacuated?

And though Prime Minister Justin

Trudeau promises “total support” to

the residents of Fort McMurray –

and Canadian Red Cross raising $30

million and the Alberta government

pledging $100 million in aid –

countless questions remain for

all parties.

Even if you personally are not

affected by the events in Fort

McMurray, they serve as a painful

reminder – check your insurance.

Do you have the right policy? Do

you have enough coverage?

Challenging questions, indeed,

but they pale in comparison to what

those in Fort McMurray are facing.

DISCERNING HOMEBUYERS have a

rare opportunity to build a home of

their dreams on a large lot in a great

location by taking advantage of the

final phase of Dressage in Silverado.

Created by Qualico Communities

on the edge of southwest Calgary’s

Silverado community, Dressage is

moving into its final phase with the

launch of Phase 5 this spring, says

Maribeth Janikowski, communications

manager, Qualico Communities.

“One of the benefits to buying in

Dressage is you can build a brand new

home in the established community

of Silverado so residents can enjoy

amenities, including the new shopping

centre that has a Sobeys, Starbucks

and other shops and services right in

the community,” Janikowski says.

Dressage residents also appreciate

that the location is a short distance

to the foothills and Rockies, yet close

to an abundance of other amenities,

including numerous shops, services,

coffee shops, eateries and the LRT at

the nearby Shawnessy shopping area

and up Macleod Trail. As well, they

have the convenience of being just

off Stoney Trail (formerly Hwy. 22X),

with quick access to Macleod and

Deerfoot Trails.

“There are lots of schools, parks

and 3.5 kilometres of pathways,

plus residents have great access to

transit, it’s close to the South Health

Campus and employment areas in

the southwest,” she adds. “It’s a quiet

area, but it’s very accessible with

everything close by.”

Dressage offers buyers a

picturesque landscape and scenic

views as the community backs onto

Radio Tower Creek, an environmental

reserve and the world-class

cover story

equestrian facility Spruce Meadows.

“It’s really a beautiful location.”

Builders Augusta Fine Homes and

Baywest Homes are actively selling

$1-million-plus estate homes on large

47- to 75-ft.-wide lots (the average

size is 62-ft. wide) in Phases 2 and 4,

and they are getting down to their

final lots in these phases.

Both builders have stunning

showhomes: Augusta’s eye-catching

bungalow showhome showcases

more than 2,200 sq. ft. of main-

floor living space, while Baywest’s

showhome is a distinctive two-storey

design with almost 3,200 sq. ft. space

above grade. These fabulous homes

earned Dressage a SAM Award last

year for best showhome parade

“This spring we’re releasing Phase 5,

which is our final phase in Dressage,”

Janikowski says. “This phase features

73 lots that range from 36- to 47-ft.

wide with the average size being

38.7-ft. wide, and builders Baywest

and NuVista Homes are building

move-up homes starting in the

$550,000s and semi-estate homes

starting in the $700,000s.”

Both builders are opening a

showhome each in June and they

will also be building spec homes “so

buyers will have a great opportunity

to see what the builders have to offer

and the architectural guidelines,” she

adds, noting the community offers a

mix of architecture styles including

Prairie, Mid-Century Modern, French

Country, Craftsman Four-Square and

Contemporary Modern.

“We set out to give Dressage

a unique and exclusive enclave

feel in Silverado, so the variety of

architecture styles are definitely

different and there is lots of

opportunity to build a home with a

distinctive style and with big windows

to take advantage of the views.”

Dressage is also home to StreetSide

Development’s Hunter House, which

presents a collection of townhomes

and stacked bungalows with garages

priced from the $380,000s.

If you desire to live amid

picturesque natural surroundings

that provides easy access to a variety

of amenities and major routes,

as well as distinctive and varied

streetscapes with a mix of beautiful

homes and large lots, than Dressage

is right for you.

Buyers can learn more about Dressage

Advice | MONEY MATTERS

THE HOUSING MARKET has gone

wild with people panting for good

investments opportunities. Slow down

and consider all the angles before you

dive into homeownership.

There’s something about money

Did you see that? The issue has

shifted from “shelter” to “profi t.” That’s

because people believe that a home

is a good investment.

While money is a key consideration,

it shouldn’t be the only consideration.

If you’re going to make the move

from renting to buying, look at the

dollars and cents.

First there’s the straight calculation

that compares the cost of carrying

your own home (your principal and

interest payments and property taxes)

with the cost of renting one.

Renters aren’t responsible for

maintenance. Homebuyers also

need to consider closing costs which

include legal fees, land transfer tax,

and other miscellaneous expenses

that you avoid by renting. First and

last months’ rent is also a ways

smaller than the typical down

payment on a home.

Of course, when you own, no

matter how small the principal

portion of your mortgage is (and it’s

minuscule in the early years), as long

as the market is stable, and you’re

not looking to make a quick sale,

homeowners are building equity and

increasing their net worth with every

mortgage payment. And when you

sell your principal residence one day,

the money earned is tax free.

Owning versus renting

MORE ADVICE ONLINEnexthome.yp.ca/news/advice

It’s a wonderful life

When I was in my 20s, I lived in a

neighbourhood that was suited to

a single girl hell bent on a good

time. Back then, renting was the

perfect solution: one of limited

responsibilities and commitment.

Renting is virtually a worry-free

existence — assuming you have a

decent landlord.

Homeownership is a responsibility

that also brings a ton of warm, fuzzy

feelings. It means you can put down

roots. You have complete control of

your environment so, yes, you can

paint your living room red.

Location, location

Buying a home in a neighbourhood

you don’t know well is one a

common mistake. If you’re new in

town, consider renting for six months

or a year to get a feel for the area. If

you like living there, you’ll feel more

comfortable buying a home.

Steady as she goes

Your employment prospects should

be stable before you consider buying

a home. Homeownership requires

a number of regular payments —

mortgage, property taxes, utilities,

maintenance and insurance. Missing

any of these payments can trigger

dire consequences.

There are a number of fi nancial

factors to consider when it comes

to buying versus renting. But the

decision involves much more than

just running the numbers. You’ve also

got to look at the emotional rewards

and challenges of each alternative.

I’ve been a renter and I’ve been

an homeowner, and overall I like

ownership more.

THE CANADIAN HOME BUILDERS’

Association - Calgary Region proudly

celebrated and acknowledged the

innovation and excellence in Calgary

and area’s residential construction

industry at the 29th annual SAM

Awards held April 16 at the TELUS

Convention Centre.

This year, more than 1,500 people

attended the SAM Awards gala that

drew more than 830 entries – on par

with the record set last year – and

fi nalists competing for 58 awards in

10 categories.

After close to 30 years, the SAM

Awards are proof that CHBA - Calgary

Region members have the drive and

ability to create outstanding homes,

renovations, marketing collateral

and so much more, even in the

face of economic adversity. This

perseverance shows the dedication

and determination of the industry,

which is call for celebration in itself.

The quality of submissions for

the 2015 SAMs was outstanding and

the competition was tight as the

home-building industry showed its

commitment to developing unique

designs and innovative building

practices.

Calgary’s SAM Awards program

is the largest of its kind in Canada,

and the number of entries and

new companies entering from year

to year is a true testament to the

passion that drives achievement in

the local industry. SAM stands for

Sales and Marketing and all aspects

of the industry are recognized in the

awards program.

SAM Awards honour excellence in the local home-building industry

CHBA - Calgary Region presented

the SAM Awards in various categories:

New Home Awards, Renovator

Awards, Developer Awards, Multi-

Family Awards, Partner Awards,

Advertising & Marketing Awards,

Industry Achievement Awards, Sales

& Information Centre Awards and,

of course, the most prestigious of

them all – the Grand SAM Awards.

Winning a coveted SAM (a silver

goose fl ying high above its rock base)

is an award that companies strive to

achieve and there are many previous

and fi rst-time winners every year.

Grand SAM Awards are presented

to those who have demonstrated a

superior achievement in design, sales,

advertising and/or service.

The judging process has been fi ne-

tuned over the course of 29 years and

all entries are judged by peers in the

industry and receive equal treatment.

Judges have to qualify fi rst and are

selected for each category specifi c

to their industry experience and

understanding.

The CHBA - Calgary Region also

ensures there is not a confl ict of

interest; for example, judges may not

be employed by any organization

that has entered a category they

are selected to judge. The judging

process and results in all categories

are then audited by an outside fi rm to

ensure authenticity.

During the judging process points

are awarded for each entry; awards

are given based on point totals. The

top fi ve in each category receive

additional placement points that

help determine the Grand SAM

winners. Companies must enter a

set number of categories in order to

qualify and should win at least one

of those categories in order to be

considered for a Grand SAM.

So, when you consider the

judging process each entry goes

through, to be named a fi nalist in

any category is an achievement

in itself.

Without a doubt the SAM Awards

have contributed signifi cantly in

raising the bar year after year in

residential housing as so many

home builders, developers and

other industry experts work

diligently to improve each year. As

a result, Calgary and its surrounding

communities are home to some of

the most innovative products found

anywhere in Canada.

Congratulations to not only the

winners and the fi nalists, but to all

the companies that submitted an

entry for the 2015 SAM Awards and

strive to make the industry better.

WHEN THE FORT MCMURRAY and

surrounding community was left

reeling from the recent wildfire

disaster, it wasn’t just Alberta

communities, governments or the

Canadian Red Cross that pitched in to

help out. The home building industry

immediately stepped up.

“We have only preliminary

information, but direct cash

contributions by CHBA members in

Alberta have topped the $200,000

mark already, and many fundraisers

are planned in the next few days,”

Paul Cashman, spokesman for the

Canadian Home Builders’ Association

– Alberta, told New Home Guide.

“Members are also collecting

donations for relief agencies at

showhomes, helping to distribute

emergency supplies to evacuees,

matching employee donations and

pledging to make a contribution to the

Red Cross for each new home sold.”

“To the people of Fort McMurray,

our hearts go out to you, and our

hands will help you rebuild,” says

Crystal Creek Homes, a builder in

Edmonton, Calgary and Airdrie, Alta.

The recovery may take weeks,

months or even years, but the

contributions and efforts will come

from home building associations, the

member companies and even their

employees.

• The Homes by Avi Group of

Companies to date has donated

more than $20,000, and is

promising to match the donations of

its staff members.

• Landmark Group of Companies is

donating $100,000 to the Canadian

• Rohit Group of Companies,

Edmonton, has held a number of

local fundraisers.

• CHBA Edmonton’s NextGen and

hosted a fundraising barbecue on May

13, as well as collected new items to

donate to the Edmonton Emergency

Relief Services Society.

“The full extent of damages in Fort

McMurray won’t be known until officials

gain control of the dangerous wildfire

but we already know that it will be a

major job to rebuild the community

and replace lost homes,” says Jim

Rivait, CEO, CHBA – Alberta. “We have

reached out to municipal and provincial

officials to offer any assistance needed

after the immediate danger has passed.”

“The community is still subject to

a mandatory evacuation order and

residents have been told it will be a

couple of weeks before they learn

when they can return,” Cashman says.

“Insurance adjusters are supposed to

begin assessing properties next week.

So we don’t have a handle yet on how

much work will be done but it will be

significant.

Mahogany is a three-time winner of

the SAM Award for Community of

Canada’s community of the year

award. “Calbridge and Morrison have

two spectacular showhomes on the

island and they’ve done a beautiful job

inside and out with their home designs.

They speak to the top quality lifestyle

that our residents will enjoy and

everyone is so impressed by them.”

McLaws adds the Best Sales Centre

award was for its Sandgate condo

apartment development also in

Mahogany. “It’s a really well designed

space and a great place for buyers to

find the perfect condo in Mahogany.”

teams to fi nish at the top of the

class for sales achievement is a great

accomplishment; it says a lot about

our team and company.

“Cityscape and Southwinds

are both large master-planned

communities, so we do have a

number of product lines to choose

from. But when there is so much

competition, it’s not easy to win this

award; it’s a great accomplishment.”

Mattamy’s Southwinds was also a

fi nalist for both the New Community

of the Year and Community of the

Year – Calgary Region awards.

“It’s an honour to be a fi nalist

for these two awards and it

speaks to how well our vision for

the Southwinds community has

been carried out,” Saunders says.

“Southwinds is a great example of

Mattamy’s integration of architecture,

naturalized areas and active lifestyle

amenities like parks and pathways

making it one of Airdrie’s most sought

after communities.”

This year’s Grand SAM Award

for Builder of the Year was won by

Broadview Homes with McKinley

Masters winning the Builder of Merit.

Broadview won three New

every day. For both Mattamy sales

teams to fi nish at the top of the

class for sales achievement is a great

accomplishment; it says a lot about

our team and company.

“Cityscape and Southwinds

are both large master-planned

communities, so we do have a

number of product lines to choose

from. But when there is so much

competition, it’s not easy to win this

award; it’s a great accomplishment.”

Mattamy’s Southwinds was also a

fi nalist for both the New Community

of the Year and Community of the

Year – Calgary Region awards.

“It’s an honour to be a fi nalist

for these two awards and it

speaks to how well our vision for

the Southwinds community has

been carried out,” Saunders says.

“Southwinds is a great example of

Mattamy’s integration of architecture,

naturalized areas and active lifestyle

amenities like parks and pathways

making it one of Airdrie’s most sought

after communities.”

ASK AN EXPERT: by HEATHER RYAN

Q & A

Q&AAsk An Expert

Q: Can you give us some advice on spring maintenance for

the home?

A: Now that the snow is likely gone from your yard a good place to

start your spring maintenance is outside, says Ron Heggs, director of

special projects for Shane Homes.

“One of the most important things, especially for those with a new

home, is the grade around the house may need to be brought back

up to the proper height,” Heggs says. Homeowners generally should

check around the foundation after the snow disappears to make

sure the grade drains away from the home and fill any settlement

that may have developed over winter.

Make sure down pipes are clear of debris so rain water can drain

properly and that they’re lowered so water funnels away from the

foundation of the house. You will also need to check the pipes and

By Heather Ryan

Advice on spring home maintenance

replace any that have been damaged over the winter.

“Calgary’s weather is hard on decks so maintenance is needed,”

Heggs says. Clean the dirt off your vinyl deck with warm water and a

mild soap solution – he cautions using a pressure washer as it may

damage the vinyl. With wood decks secure any loose boards and

inspect to see if it needs sanding and re-staining.

Also, turn the main water valve back on for the outdoor taps

and clear away any debris from around any outdoor vents or air-

conditioning units.

Inside, change the furnace filter and clean the humidifier then

turn it off for the summer. “If you have a heat recovery ventilator

(HRV) take the filers out and clean them with soap and water and

usually there’s a plastic heat exchanger that should also be cleaned,”

Heggs says.

While you’re there, pour water down the basement drain if it

hasn’t been done for a while and check dryer vents to ensure

they’re clear of lint.

“If you have a gas fireplace, it’s a good time check it, clean the

glass and, if it has a pilot light, turn it off for summer,” he adds.

Shane Homes’ customers can find a year-round maintenance

schedule on www.shanehomes.com or visit Shane Homes

on youtube.com for informational home

maintenance videos.

Could a Foreign Investor Real Estate Craze

Be Coming to Alberta?

Recently, traditional real estate indicators, such as household income, have served as only a base to measure just how gravity-defiant housing price growth continues to be within the Toronto and Vancouver markets.

This situation has all but confirmed a sizable presence of foreign buyers within these markets, a topic of which there is no yielding measure to date. However, some notable agencies have recently “hypothesized” that Chinese foreign investors specifically may have accounted for 14% and 33% of Toronto and Vancouver real estate sales in 2015 respectively (National Bank of Canada).

Arguments regarding the motivations of these investors namely point to a strategy of wealth preservation amidst China’s wavering financial system (taken for granted here). However, one of the most interesting situations likely encouraging this investment is that the price of our real estate in Yuan (China’s currency) has actually been falling over recent years, until now.

So far in 2016, the Canadian-Yuan exchange rate has held strong by an annual comparison, after years of

falling continuously since 2013. As such, this year has come to represent the first in many years that a Chinese foreign investor would actually have to pay a considerable amount more for the average home in the Vancouver and Toronto markets (see figure below). Notably, this is not the case for Alberta’s historically-sound Edmonton and Calgary real estate markets.

Looking ahead, many economists have predicted that a Chinese led foreign investment “craze” will likely continue, as further woes are expected to plague China’s investment sector.

In our opinion, all of these points represent a marketable opportunity for agents and developers of Alberta’s real estate markets to attract more of this investment their way.

As a point of encouragement, consider that Juwai.com, a popular online listing service where Chinese investors can look for international real estate, recently reported that inquiries about specific properties in Alberta increased 70% in 2015 (Bloomberg News, April 2016).

Property Profile | BROOKFIELD RESIDENTIAL, ALBI HOMES, MORRISON HOMES & JAYMANBUILT

SYMONS GATE, the recipient of Calgary’s 2015 New

Community of the Year award, continues to draw young

families to the city’s vibrant, amenity-rich northwest.

“We’re both thrilled and humbled to have Symons Gate

recognized as the best in the city,” says Jessie Seymour,

senior manager of strategic marketing at Brookfield

Residential. “There’s a real community spirit emerging, and

it’s exciting to watch it grow as we continue to welcome

our new homeowners.”

Located next to the beloved year-round Symons Valley

Ranch Farmers’ Market, and just minutes from Creekside

Shopping Centre, the award-winning community offers

contemporary city living with a touch of country charm. A

pristine environmental preserve borders the community,

while shopping centres, recreational facilities and premier

hospitals are just a short drive from home. At Symons

Gate, homeowners are blessed with having urban

amenities at their fingertips and nature at their doorstep.

Building upon last year’s successful launch, Brookfield

Residential has recently released its highly anticipated suite

of semi-detached homes. Reflecting the community’s

prairie modern style, Brookfield’s new collection of carefully

designed inner-city inspired plans range from 1,410 to 1,510

sq. ft., and are attractively priced from the mid-$300’s.

Another exciting development within Symons Gate is

the upcoming grand opening of Albi, Luxury by Brookfield

Residential’s two new showhomes on May 28. Awarded

the Marketing Excellence and Design Excellence honours,

Calgary’s leading luxury home builder is offering a

selection of six unique plans, including spacious four-

bedroom models that are ideal for growing families.

Homeownership with Albi starts in the mid-$500’s and the

sales centre, which is now open, has a wide selection of

lots to choose from – including desirable walkout lots.

Calgary’s North is a big win for

Brookfield Residential

Calgary’s burgeoning north will enjoy the

spotlight once again, when Brookfield launches

Livingston at 144th Avenue and Centre Street

north in early 2017. Offering an extensive range

of more than 10,000 affordable single- and

multi-family homes, this 1,270-acre master-

planned community will forever change

the northern Centre Street corridor and set

a new standard for community planning

in the city. “Our vision for Livingston,” says

Seymour, “is to create an innovative, connected

neighbourhood with an abundance of parks

and greenspace, a walkable town centre, and

convenient access to downtown Calgary via

the newly approved Green Line, which will

have a terminus station within the community.”

Once complete, Livingston will be the 62nd

community built by Brookfield Residential in

Calgary over its 58-year history.

Property Profile | CREATIONS BY SHANE HOMES

CREATIONS BY SHANE HOMES is

creating an urban oasis in the heart of

Airdrie with its newest duplex offering

and showhomes located in the new

community of Midtown.

“The showhomes are different

to what people have seen with our

duplexes in the past,” says Area

Manager Satwinder Notay. “We have

the traditional prairie and homestead

styles that people are familiar with,

but now we’re presenting an urban

look that has bigger windows, lower

roof lines and a modern feel so

customers have choice of the look

they want.

“The Galea showhome has an

urban exterior, but inside customers

love the country feel that suits the

small town charm that buyers in

Airdrie desire,” she adds. “The Galea

is one of our most popular models

in the Creations lineup and it’s an

award-winning floor plan.

“We just opened the showhomes

and we’re getting a really positive

response, people say they can see the

quality, the great use of space and the

highly functional design. The duplexes

offer something for everyone… from

those who want an open concept

plan to those who want separation

between living spaces.”

The 1,508-sq.-ft. Galea showhome

presents a wow factor as soon as you

enter, with lots of windows, including

two full-length side lights and square

windows in the door, closets flanking

the entry and a charcoal coloured tile

floor – all which help to define the

space and create a private feel.

Then, stepping into the living

room, you’re wowed by the elegant

lit art niches that flank the entrance,

the wide plank antique-looking

laminate floor and the built-in TV

niche. The whole room is warmed by

soft grey and white paint tones and

by an expansive central island with

breakfast bar seating, features black

granite countertops that complement

the dark-stained maple cabinets,

a brick-pattern backsplash tile and

stainless steel appliances. The kitchen

also includes a walk-in pantry across

from the island providing ample

storage space, and a large window

above the double undermount sink

so owners can watch their kids

playing in the backyard.

The grey floor tile returns in the

mud room off the rear entry and

there is a large double closet to stash

away coats and boots. Completing

the main floor is a convenient half-

bath tucked away by the staircase

leading upstairs.

Upstairs, the owners’ suite provides

an abundance of space for king-

sized furniture, and features a walk-in

closet and ensuite with soaker tub,

granite-topped vanity and tile floor.

There are two generously sized

secondary bedrooms with ample

closet space and a laundry closet

with space-saving stacked washer

and dryer.

Besides the Galea, Creations has

the 1,669-sq.-ft. Allee sales centre

and the 1,372-sq.-ft. Samara, (which

is attached with another Galea model)

on the showhome parade.

“Midtown’s attraction is the

community design which includes

a promenade with a pond and

pedestrian bridge surrounded by

walking paths and park space at

the heart of the community giving

it a family-friendly feel. It is a great

location, because there are established

amenities around us, residents are

within walking distance to schools

and shopping centres and have quick

access to recreation facilities and

major routes,” Notay says.

Showhome Review | SHANE HOMES

PRESENTING A GRAND FEEL, spacious

design and numerous optional layouts

has made the Tofino II one of Shane

Homes’ most popular models and

a sure hit among buyers in the new

community of Midtown in Airdrie.

“The Tofino II is one of our top

sellers because it offers a great design

with lots of windows and a grand

open to below floor plan,” says Area

Manager Derek Cuevas. “It’s perfect

for entertaining, with lots of room to

sit and socialize or have dinner with

friends and family.”

“We’ve just opened this

showhome and we’re getting great

feedback from our visitors; they

love the colours and brightness of

the home, the central bonus room

upstairs and the master bedroom

ensuite, which is amazing with an

oversized walk-in closet, a luxurious

corner soaker tub and 48-by-34-

inch three-sided tile shower,” he

says. “People also love the walk-

through pantry and comment on

how great the kitchen is; it’s really a

great space.”

A major appeal to clients is that the

Tofino II offers several different main

floor and second floor layout options

to fit buyers’ needs, and “they love

that our plans can be fully customized

allowing them to build their dream

home,” Cuevas notes.

The 2,315-sq.-ft. Tofino II

showhome in Midtown welcomes

you inside with a soft grey and white

colour scheme giving the home a

warm, contemporary feel. The wide

open entry provides plenty of space

to greet guests and there’s ample

room for a convenient bench and/

or a hall table. A large-profile tile at

the entry stretches throughout the

main floor.

Off the entry is a convenient half-

bath and down the hall sliding french

doors open to an IT centre with a

huge built-in dual work station.

The spacious mudroom off the

garage features a convenient storage

closet and built-in bench, and is

connected to the large walk-through

kitchen pantry.

The kitchen ups the wow factor

with an expansive central island,

topped by light-toned granite that

is also on the countertops – a nice

complement to the white subway

Off the kitchen, the living room is

warmed by a wall-centred fireplace

surrounded in cream-coloured

tile in a brick pattern and topped

by a wood mantle, which matches

well with the woodsy wall-papered

Upstairs hidden behind a partial

wall you’ll discover a spacious central

family room, and down the hall are

a good-sized laundry room, a full

bathroom, two spacious secondary

bedrooms with walk-in closets and a

The owner’s suite presents an

how spacious the room is, and

owners’ will appreciate having the

large walk-in closet and the inviting

ensuite featuring that corner soaker

tub, walk-in shower and a granite-

topped vanity with dual sinks and

make-up counter.

Along with the Tofino II, Shane

Homes also has the 2,011-sq.-ft.

Orion showhome, and can build

several other popular models in

Midtown, Cuevas says.

“Midtown is being built within

walking distance in the heart of

downtown Airdrie and will feature

a large pond, three kilometres of

walking paths and a bridge over the

pond connecting to a promenade,”

he says. Residents will be able to

walk to neighbourhood shops,

grocery stores, services “plus a Tim

Hortons is opening soon” on the

commercial lot of Midtown.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

PLANNING TO BUY YOUR FIRST home

and not sure where to begin? Here

are six homebuying tips to help you

prepare.

1. Get with the programs

There are various government

programs available to help you

buy a home.

Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP): The

HBP allows fi rst-time buyers to

withdraw up to $25,000 from their

RRSP to put toward a down payment

on a home. You have up to 15 years

to repay the funds.

First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax

Credit (HBTC): Eligible fi rst-time

buyers can apply for the HBTC to

help o� set the costs associated with

purchasing a home, such as legal

fees, disbursements and land transfer

taxes. The credit can provide up to

$750 in federal tax relief.

More information on these

programs is available at cra.gc.ca.

2. Explore your options

First-time buyers can buy a home with

as little as fi ve per cent of the purchase

price as a down payment — as long

as the property is less than $500,000.

Anything higher than that, and the

minimum down payment for the portion

of the price higher than $500,000 is

10 per cent. So, assuming your price

range is at that threshold, you’ll need

to come up with at least $25,000.

At that purchase price, depending

on the market you’re in, this could

mean you’d then be looking at a

townhome, semi-detached or even a

condo, instead of a detached home.

6 homebuying tips for fi rst-timers

By Wayne Karl


3. Check with the bank of mom and dad

If your parents are baby boomers

who have had the good fortune of

building equity over the years as they

paid down their mortgage while the

value of their property multiplied,

well… they may be in a position to

help. Many buyers are hitting up the

bank of mom and dad. In the last two

years, 28 per cent of fi rst-time buyers

called on the bank of mom and dad

to help fi nance their purchase; from

2010 to 2014, only 17 per cent did.

4. Become tech savvy

Mortgage consumers are becoming

very tech savvy. In Canada Mortgage

and Housing Corp.’s 2015 Mortgage

Consumer Survey, 78 per cent of

respondents researched online,

with 70 per cent using a mortgage

calculator to help determine their

payments. And social media is playing

a more important role — 20 per cent

used sites such as Facebook to learn

more, 17 per cent used a mobile

device, and of those, 22 per cent used

a mortgage related app. And all of

these fi gures are growing.

5. Befriend a broker or banker

Like many things in life, it’s all about

relationships. And whether you use

a broker or a banker to secure a

mortgage, you’ll likely come to value

the relationship. In the same CMHC

survey, consumer loyalty strengthened

the longer people stayed with their

lender. But since we’re talking about

money, people are willing to switch

lenders to get a better rate and save —

a fact which is much more prevalent

for bankers than brokers. And because

brokers are able to o� er products

from multiple lenders, as opposed to

bankers who o� er only the products of

their own institution, the market share

held by brokers is growing notably,

particularly among repeat buyers.

6. Research, research, research

These days, with prices rising as they

are and uncertainty in some markets,

thorough research is an absolute

must. Everything from your target

area, desired housing type, builder or

realtor, fi nances, how much you can

a� ord, who you borrow from and the

structure of your mortgage — take

your time. Take months. Don’t rush

anything. Anything.

PATIO LIVING

A PATIO IS AN EXTREMELY VERSATILE LIVING SPACE. If

you love to entertain a patio can become an extension

of your kitchen. If chilling out and reading on a comfy

lounger is more your thing, a patio is the perfect spot. Its

design and shape often determine the flow of your yard. A

professionally designed and built patio can provide many

years of outdoor enjoyment.

With a variety of high quality products and many

different design concepts a patio can be customized to

compliment any space. Many Homeowners crave the

need for privacy and having a ground level patio provides

your living space with function, intimacy and comfort.

Natural Stone is the highest quality material to use for a

patio and can provide the look of a flush outdoor floor.

all traits of natural stone. Paving stones are also an option

that can be creatively incorporated into your space.

Paving stones are more cost effective than natural

stone and come in a wide variety of colors, textures and

sizes. Concrete is a product which is extremely functional,

low maintenance and is very cost effective. Concrete can

be done with a brushed, exposed or stamped finish. All

types of patios can follow curves and patterns or be very

linear and simple.

There are many different styles of patios that

can be built. Wood work, rock, water features,

fire pits, plantings and mulch are all products

that can be carefully chosen to complement

any style or size of patio. A consultation with

your landscaper and a creative and functional

design is the best place to start when

considering what type of outdoor space will

best suite you and your home. Clearly, there

are many choices and it pays to explore all your

options carefully. More importantly hiring the

right company for the job will ensure you can

relax on the patio of your dreams.

A stylish functional yard can create a vibrant

feel to your home. Be the envy of the block

and provide a sanctuary for your family, friends

and pets. Landscaping improves your quality

of life, the value of your home and adds a

little personal flare. Landscape 360 is a full-

LUXURYSARAH RICHARDSON

By Elisa Krovblit | Photos by Stacey Brandford

SARAH RICHARDSON HAS ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE NAMES IN THE DESIGN WORLD. ROOM SERVICE. DESIGN INC. SARAH’S COTTAGE. SARAH’S HOUSE. SARAH 101. REAL POTENTIAL. THESE HGTV PROGRAMS HAVE BROUGHT SARAH INTO THE LIVING ROOMS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. IN THAT TIME, SARAH HAS CREATED A FOLLOWING OF FANS WHO ADORE HER STYLE AND EXUBERANCE, TAKING TIPS, IDEAS AND JUST INDULGING IN HER BEAUTIFUL DESIGN. WE CAUGHT UP WITH SARAH TO ASK HER A FEW THINGS ABOUT LUXURY, LIFESTYLE AND THE THINGS THAT MAKE SARAH’S HOUSE A HOME.

54 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Sarah has let us step into her

home both on TV and in her

gorgeous new design book, At

Home: Sarah Style. Room by room,

home by home – from city home to

farmhouse and cottage getaways –

we get to explore the spaces Sarah

has created to enjoy with her family.

It’s not a designer putting favourite

projects forward, it’s a designer

living her design, showing the way

she embraces these elements and

executes them to meet her family’s

needs. From furniture to art, from

colour palette to material choices,

little details, big design elements and

the view, Sarah has put her expertise

to work to create the perfect project

for an especially important client –

her family.

After looking at these beautiful

spaces and wonderful escapes, we had

a chance to ask Sarah about her sense

of luxury.

“I haven’t said ‘luxury’ as many times

in the past month as I’ve said in this

interview,” Sarah remarks halfway

through our discussion. It’s quite a

significant comment, and clarifies her

perspective in one concise moment.

Sarah explains that she isn’t about

labels or grandeur or “bling” or big

shows of ostentation; and too often

that’s what we envision when we

think luxury.

“I believe in little luxuries,” Sarah

says. “I’m not into luxury for the

sake of luxury.” Art is a favourite

item she feels is a luxury. “Art is all

encompassing,” she says. It’s not the

price point, but the intrinsic value that

makes it a luxury. “Something that

speaks to you, created with passion

and purpose. Regardless of budget,

the biggest investment in luxury is

the art.”

Not just big canvases, “it can be a

vase – handmade by an artisan,” she

says. Supporting the arts and those

that create these beautiful objects

is important, “not disposable, mass

market items.”

When looking at our homes, where

we put our money, she explains, from

a project perspective is “big ticket

living – investing in kitchens and

baths.” But when it comes down to

luxury, those rooms don’t define a

home. It’s the way you complete the

home that brings in that luxury.

One of Sarah’s favourite spaces

is the living room of her city house,

“because I was able to find some

really great vintage pieces. A Milo

Baughman chaise and chairs, and a

Willy Rizzo coffee table. It’s a luxury

to be able to score unique pieces.”

One other luxury Sarah feels

benefits everyone is the luxury of

having somewhere to get away.

“Having another place to go,” she

explains, is important. While Sarah

really appreciates her home-away-

from-home escapes, she also views

A look through At Home: Sarah Style is a wonderful tour of the homes in Sarah’s life. These include her city home – both before and after a major renovation – a cottage, a farmhouse and her mother’s home. Each fulfills a different use, a different need and the design is effective in committing those roles. From playful and funky to sophisticated and elegant, the pages are full of incredible imagery with anecdotal explanations from Sarah. The recipes are wonderful too. You won’t know what you did without the Cosmic Sandwich in your life.

travel, just getting away and taking

time, as being the real luxury.

“Luxury is all relative,” she says. Paring

down life to its most simple elements,

having things to appreciate, and time to

enjoy one’s life are definitely the luxuries

Sarah appreciates.

When I ask Sarah if she has

anything else to say about luxury, her

response captured our discussion

perfectly. She told me “Luxury is in

the eye of the beholder.”

Sarah’s top 5 affordable luxuries that make her love being home

1. Stealing some quiet time on a weekend afternoon beside a crackling fire to dive into a new issue of a design magazine with my feet up while I’m covered in a cosy throw, (I’m adding some beautiful loomed cotton throws to my product line for early summer).

2. A steaming hot giant Nespresso latte in a mug that was hand painted by one of our daughters. Beautiful form mixed with great function has made me the owner of a Nespresso in every kitchen; work and home, city and country.

3. Thoughtfully made and passionately crafted decorative arts. In every room of our house, there are sentimental handmade pieces that are sculpturally beautiful but not necessarily decadent or expensive. Investing in pretty little affordable luxuries and supporting talented artisans makes me happy.

4. Candlelight. Nothing is more calming and relaxing at the end of a busy work day than a room bathed in the glow of candlelight. Candles aren’t for special occasions in our home. They are a daily necessity. It’s the little things that matter.

5. Fresh flowers. The finishing touch to any well-designed room is something lovely and living. I don’t have time to get to the flower store and treat myself often, but I always have potted orchids to brighten up my rooms. Whether you get them at the grocery store or the florist, potted orchids are an inexpensive floral choice that will bloom for about four months!

really great vintage pieces. A Milo

Baughman chaise and chairs, and a

Willy Rizzo coffee table. It’s a luxury

to be able to score unique pieces.”

One other luxury Sarah feels

benefits everyone is the luxury of

having somewhere to get away.

“Having another place to go,” she

explains, is important. While Sarah

really appreciates her home-away-

from-home escapes, she also views

A look through At Home: Sarah Style is a wonderful tour of the homes in Sarah’s life. These include her city home – both before and after a major renovation – a cottage, a farmhouse and her mother’s home. Each fulfills a different use, a different need and the design is effective in committing those roles. From playful and funky to sophisticated and elegant, the pages are full of incredible imagery with anecdotal explanations from Sarah. The recipes are wonderful too. You won’t know what you did without the Cosmic Sandwich in your life.

travel, just getting away and taking

time, as being the real luxury.

“Luxury is all relative,” she says. Paring

down life to its most simple elements,

having things to appreciate, and time to

enjoy one’s life are definitely the luxuries

Sarah appreciates.

When I ask Sarah if she has

anything else to say about luxury, her

response captured our discussion

perfectly. She told me “Luxury is in

the eye of the beholder.”

Sarah’s top 5 affordable luxuries that make her love being home

1. Stealing some quiet time on a weekend afternoon beside a crackling fire to dive into a new issue of a design magazine with my feet up while I’m covered in a cosy throw, (I’m adding some beautiful loomed cotton throws to my product line for early summer).

2. A steaming hot giant Nespresso latte in a mug that was hand painted by one of our daughters. Beautiful form mixed with great function has made me the owner of a Nespresso in every kitchen; work and home, city and country.

3. Thoughtfully made and passionately crafted decorative arts. In every room of our house, there are sentimental handmade pieces that are sculpturally beautiful but not necessarily decadent or expensive. Investing in pretty little affordable luxuries and supporting talented artisans makes me happy.

4. Candlelight. Nothing is more calming and relaxing at the end of a busy work day than a room bathed in the glow of candlelight. Candles aren’t for special occasions in our home. They are a daily necessity. It’s the little things that matter.

5. Fresh flowers. The finishing touch to any well-designed room is something lovely and living. I don’t have time to get to the flower store and treat myself often, but I always have potted orchids to brighten up my rooms. Whether you get them at the grocery store or the florist, potted orchids are an inexpensive floral choice that will bloom for about four months!

A WARM AND INVITING neighbourhood,

Kingsland plays host to popular spots

like the Market on MacLeod and

Kingsland Park. This community is

walking distance to Chinook Centre,

including their Cineplex movie

theatres and the newly opened Target

and Nordstrom.

Lifestyle

Kingsland’s lifestyle can be summed

up by the resident’s love of small

local businesses, public parks and

the ease of being close to so many

public transit options. Kingsland Park

and the Community Association

provide so much for this great area –

including community activities year-

round. With residents of all ages, this

area is thriving for both families and

senior citizens.

Vibe

Established in 1957, Kingsland is an

older neighbourhood but boasts

a very young and upcoming vibe.

Neighbourhood Profi le

Warm, inviting and on the rise

Kingsland

With the addition of the Market

on MacLeod, this area is home to

many young families and young

professionals purchasing their fi rst

home. A shift is defi nitely come to the

area as more infi ll projects are being

built where duplexes once stood.

Meet the neighbours

Residents of Kingsland vary – some

have lived here for years and years,

but also a lot of young families and

young couples moving into the area

because it is clear this is an up and

coming area for real estate.

In the area

Proximity to Chinook Centre is

a real plus for residents. With so

many amenities on hand, you hardly

need to leave the area. However,

with easy access to major roads

such as MacLeod Trail, Elbow Drive,

Glenmore Trail and Heritage Drive,

it is convenient to get to other

quadrants of the city.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Kingsland is located centrally

between Heritage LRT and the

Chinook LRT Station, making it ideal

for anyone who relies on public

transit. Beyond public transit, this

area is known for heavy car use and

limited street parking.

The good, the bad & the rest

A mostly quiet neighbourhood, this

community is turning into a real gem

with additions such as the farmers’

market and other local businesses.

With such close access to MacLeod

Trail, it can often be busy with tra� c

and also attract some transient

characters to the area. For the most

part, people keep to themselves and

take pride in their homes.

Advice | MORTGAGE MOGUL

WHETHER YOU have just recently

purchased a home, or you are in

the process of fi nding your future

property, for most people, having

house insurance in place and installing

a home security system is usually the

only protection one arranges.

Granted, if you have a mortgage,

you don’t have a lot of choice in the

matter, as house/fi re insurance is

mandatory. And while many home

security systems o� er peace of mind

against theft, fi re, carbon monoxide

and fl ooding, they also help reduce

your home insurance premiums.

Let’s be honest, when it comes

to the purchase of a home, we are

bombarded with what seems like

endless decision making. So when

you think it’s just about over and

homeownership is now in sight, you

are asked by your mortgage broker

whether you have considered taking

life or disability insurance. At this

stage, many people are prone to

waiving any type of coverage due to

the additional cost they will incur. But

is this the right decision?

I am not an insurance sales

representative, nor am I licensed

to sell insurance. However, I

am mandated by RECA (Real

Estate Council Of Alberta) and

AMBA (Alberta Mortgage Brokers

Association) to present clients

with the most basic of protection

options for their mortgage, in the

event that the unthinkable should

happen. Having a fi nancial planning

background, I feel that this a value

added service that I can o� er my

clients if they feel this is something

they want to explore further. If a

client does wish to look at any of

these options, I complete a basic

application with them and forward

it to an insurance company. A

licensed insurance professional

then contacts the client to continue

through the process.

Protecting your investment

So, why does one need insurance

for a mortgage? Why would anyone

want to protect such a huge debt?

The simple answer is – to protect

you and your family as well as your

asset. More often than I care to

admit, there have been life changing

circumstances that have resulted

in clients losing their homes due to

a signifi cant reduction in income,

not allowing the continuation of

mortgage payments to take place,

thus resulting in either being forced to

sell your home, or worse yet, the bank

forecloses on your property.

In the event that a death should

occur, wouldn’t it be nice to know

that you have an insurance policy in

place to either pay out the remaining

balance of your mortgage, or perhaps

a term policy that provides the

benefi ciary with a lump sum payment

that they may use to either manage

the mortgage payments or pay o� the

mortgage in its entirety.

Imagine that you get injured in

a freak accident, and this change

in circumstances doesn’t allow

you to go to work and earn your

regular income. For many folks, their

employer o� ers a disability insurance,

whether it be short or long term. On

the surface, this sounds encouraging.

The problem is, with many disability

policies, you get only a percentage of

your income while you are recovering.

So the question that one must ask

themselves is… Can I meet all of my

fi nancial obligations if I am receiving

anything less than 100 per cent of

my regular income. For many people,

the answer is a resounding no. One

alternative is to obtain additional

disability coverage for such situations.

It is always my goal to offer

clients the most comprehensive

service possible, and while many

people don’t like discussing the

topic of insurance, it is my mandate

to at least make them aware of the

types of coverage available and how

they might apply to them.

As always, I welcome any questions

or comments you may have regarding

the information contained in my

articles. Until next month…
