Your next home, easier to fi nd
Protect yourself from the chill
We realize there are di� erent ways to
search out that next home. That’s why
we’ve made it our priority to make
that home easier for you to fi nd.
While price and size are always a
big part of the equation, location will
likely a� ect you most. Whether you
want to be closer to work, important
amenities or the city — or farther
from it — the challenge is to fi nd a
home search tool that will provide
all those answers. That’s precisely
why we’ve developed maps with
extensive neighbourhood data on
YPNextHome.ca.
These maps make it easy to fi nd not
just a home but also see what is in the
area, with stats about the community
and its residents. YPNextHome.ca
o� ers neighbourhood profi les, as
well as guided tours by our team of
experts — all connected to the maps,
so that there’s no secondary search.
We’ve made it easy for you to
familiarize yourself with a community
and get valuable insights, from hot
spots to proximity to the city centre.
We hope you fi nd this experience
helpful. Let us know, we’d love to
hear from you!
The move was intended to mostly
impart a slight cooling on Canada’s
hottest and most expensive real estate
markets – Toronto and Vancouver.
But the federal government’s
recent decision to raise the down
payment requirement for new insured
mortgages from fi ve per cent to 10
per cent for the portion of the house
price above $500,000, could well
have other unintended consequences.
In particular, Edmonton is among
those markets that these new rules
could infl ict additional cooling upon,
at a time when conditions are already
chilly enough.
Prospective buyers have a few
choices: buy before the new rules
take e� ect Feb. 15, 2016; fi nd a way to
increase your down payment; or look
at properties of less than $500,000.
Find a way to protect yourself
from this additional chill, until later in
2016 and 2017 when the Edmonton
economy and housing market is
expected to begin warming up.

HIGHLIGHTING THE TOP builders, developers & new communities
across Edmonton
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. New for 2016 is the addition of a heated pool! A fully equipped fitness building is now up and running for residents to use and enjoy. 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 gatherings, a club-house, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accom-modate gatherings both small and large.
Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Archi-tecture 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 undeveloped lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guidelines.
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.

JAN 15 - FEB 12, 2016 | NEW HOME GUIDE 15
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. New for 2016 is the addition of a heated pool! A fully equipped fitness building is now up and running for residents to use and enjoy. 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 gatherings, a club-house, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accom-modate gatherings both small and large.
Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Archi-tecture 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 undeveloped lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guidelines.
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.

5. Forgetting About Dimmers. Lighting is everything.
It creates atmosphere, drama, and intrigue in a
room. The easiest way to accomplish this is with a
dimmer switch, best places for dimmers are living,
dining, theatre, master bedroom and your ensuite.
6. Light Switches Placed in the Wrong Place. I prefer to locate light switches about 36” above
the floor. That way they stay out of the way of the
art on our walls. Switches should be about 1½” to
2” off the side of the door casing.
7. Neglecting Your Closet. Your closet needs
attention, too. I prefer recessed lighting and/
or track lighting in walk-in closets. The recessed
lights stay clear of moving clothes in and out,
undermount puck lights are key in lighting up (or
down) lighting on shelving. Having good lighting
in your closet is essential.
8. Using same collection throughout. Don’t pick a
collection and put that everywhere in your home,
that is so boring! Find your inspiration fixture that
sets the tone then find complimentary fixtures for
each key area that relates to that space. EG: Dining
Room, Foyer, Kitchen Nook, Kitchen Island, Master
Bedroom etc.
9. Thoughtful mix of finishes: You don’t have to
match you can mix your finishes - within reason.
Be aware of your preferred metal colours and
the combination of finishes you want to use. By
mixing thoughtfully, the end result can be very
sophisticated.
1. Relying on Only One Light Source. The key
to good lighting is layering light at different
heights. Don’t rely on one kind of light source,
mix a variety of overhead, floor and table
lamps. Warm ‘pools’ of light draw people in and
create intimacy.
2. Not Thinking About Wattage. Mood is
everything, and who wants to dine in bright
light? 60 watts for the dining room, brighter
when reading, 75 to 100 watts for the living
room. Keep overhead lights to 75 watts, with
60 watts on each side. For bathrooms - the
best lighting is at eye level, not overhead, which
creates shadows. And the best light is diffused
light from a white or off-white lampshade.
3. Don’t Go Overboard With Recessed Lighting. Use recessed lighting sparingly. Too many
fixtures turn your ceiling into swiss cheese! Be
mindful of where you place that kind of lighting.
Limit overhead can lighting to functional areas
such as bathrooms, closets and laundry rooms
— the light is too harsh and flat for your living
areas, unless you go to smaller halogens.
4. Overhead Lighting That’s Too Bright. There’s
nothing worse than bright lights that make
you feel like you’re onstage. Use dimmers
and soft white bulbs in every room, including
bathrooms.

Making the rightreal estate choice
WONDERING WHETHER THIS IS THE
RIGHT TIME for you to buy a home?
Every homebuyer has doubts,
but a new report from Mortgage
Professionals Canada shows that
purchasers – regardless of whether
they bought their home back before
Nirvana was leading the rise of
grunge music to today’s Auto-Tune
generation – are overwhelmingly
positive about their decision after they
take the plunge.
People who bought a home before
1990 and had the benefi t of plenty
of time to assess their decision were
most certain they made the right
choice. A total of 95 per cent were
happy, and none of the buyers in the
survey regretted their decision.
Buyers across all generations shared
those views, with more than 90 per
cent saying they’re happy they bought
a home, and just three per cent
expressing any regrets.
Satisfaction with their home
purchase isn’t the only thing
homebuyers from di� erent eras
share – they also tend to see a home
the same way. Whether they are 18 to
34, 35 to 54, or in the 55 years-plus
category, buyers see their homes
around 75 per cent as a place to live
and 25 per cent as an investment.
Where we start seeing a real di� erence between generations is among those
who do not own a home. Almost half the 18 to 34 age group says they need
extra time to save for a down payment, and more young people report they are
still establishing their fi nancial and employment stability.
Young people are also far more hopeful that they can guess the right time to
enter the housing market, with 28 per cent waiting for home prices to decrease,
compared to only 13 per cent in the 35 to 54 age bracket.
Balanced against the concern about market timing – even among the
youngest potential buyers – is widespread confi dence in the long-term value of
a home purchase; only four per cent say they don’t believe homeownership is a
good investment.
Thinking about owning a home also stresses out a lot more young people,
perhaps because older generations have had more chances to observe how
people manage the responsibilities of home ownership.
There’s no doubt that repair costs are a big concern for fi rst-time homebuyers.
When the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. conducted its annual survey,
unexpected costs for major repairs worried a majority of fi rst-time buyers. More
than a third found those concerns were real when they found themselves on the
hook for the cost of immediate repairs after they took possession.
One way for fi rst-time buyers to relieve stress is to consider purchasing a new
home.
The many advantages of new homes are a confi dence booster when making
such a big investment. So is a 10-year warranty that provides assurance you’re
still covered even if an issue arises long after construction.
To learn more about the advantages of new homes, check out the consumer
resources on the CHBA Edmonton Region website. It’s also where you can fi nd
CHBA members with the experience and expertise to guide you through your
purchase.

When you think about your dream home, what comes to mind? Whether it’s a place to build roots in with your new family, or a spacious estate with a natural view, or a stylish bungalow with room for the grandkids, your dream becomes a reality in The Collections.
The biggest difference with this new Southwest Edmonton development is that the Whitemud Creek Ravine plays an integral role in the planning and construction process for The Collections neighbourhood.
Jenn Brown, project manager for The Collections, says home owners can’t expect to be any closer to nature, and natural beauty takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to the neighbourhood’s design.
“Others may incorporate natural elements into their neighbourhoods, such as a stand of trees or manmade walking trails, but we are actually designing and building The Collections around the natural shape of the ravine,” Jenn said. “When you buy a new home in The Collections, you are genuinely surrounded by Southwest Edmonton’s natural beauty.”
Bringing together man and nature is a huge part of what makes The Collections such an appreciated breath of fresh air for home buyers.
While The Collections is a peaceful escape from urban living, Jenn says the neighbourhood is just minutes away from valuable amenities, providing residents with a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience.
“As a Creekwood Family Neighbourhood, The Collections is just a short drive away from shopping, dining and entertainment options offered in the Currents of Windermere. We are also very excited for the new K-9 school to open in The Collections in fall 2017.”
The Collections will offer housing types for families in every stage of life, and Jenn says residents will get to enjoy retail conveniences like Creekwood Market, which opens this spring.
Bluebell, the first phase of The Collections, is now open and offers stylish semi-detached and smaller lot front garage homes that are perfect for home buyers looking to take their next step in life.
“Whether you’re starting a family, designing your dream home, or settling down to enjoy post-retirement life, your journey truly comes to life in The Collections.”

EDMONTON, CALGARY and other
markets already experiencing a
slowdown are among the cities
expected to feel additional cooling
by the federal government’s
new minimum down payment
requirement.
In December, Finance Minister
Bill Morneau announced changes
to the rules for government-backed
mortgage insurance, intended to
contain risks in the housing market,
reduce taxpayer exposure and
support long-term stability.
E� ective Feb. 15, 2016, the
minimum down payment for new
insured mortgages will increase
from fi ve per cent to 10 per cent
for the portion of the house price
above $500,000. The fi ve-per-
cent minimum down payment for
properties up to $500,000 remains
unchanged.
The move represents a graduated
approach to increasing the down
payment requirement proportionally
to the cost of a home.
“The government’s role in housing
is to set and maintain a framework
that is equitable, stable and
sustainable,” Morneau says. “(These
actions) prudently address emerging
vulnerabilities in certain housing
markets, while not overburdening
other regions. They also rebalance
government support for the housing
sector to promote long-term stability
and balanced economic growth.
“This measure will increase
homeowner equity, which plays a
key role in maintaining a stable and
secure housing market and economy
over the long term,” he adds. “It also
protects all homeowners, including
many middle class Canadians whose
greatest investment is in their homes.”
Morneau also highlighted the
increases in guarantee fees for
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
(CMHC)-sponsored securitization
programs, announced by CMHC.
So, what might all this mean for
consumers?
For those in Calgary and
Edmonton, the move could have
the unintended consequences of
imparting additional cooling on
already chilly markets.
CIBC Deputy Chief Economist
Benjamin Tal says the largest impact
will be felt in Calgary, due to the large
share of high-ratio mortgages. In this
city, the new measures could impact
about 10 per cent of new sales, while
in Toronto the fi gure is fi ve per cent;
in Vancouver, just 2.5 per cent.
“It will only a� ect a small number
of buyers,” James Laird, president of
mortgage broker CanWise Financial,
told New Home Guide. “People in
the a� ected group may need to rent
a little bit longer until they save the
extra down payment required. They
may still buy where they’re planning
to by getting help from family. Or
they may still buy right away, but buy
a slightly smaller home than they
were planning to.”
“The other thing to think about is
that it really shouldn’t a� ect non-fi rst-
time homebuyers. Presumably, they’d
be selling their previous home to buy
another home, and there’d be enough
equity in their home.”
Mortgage broker and wealth
planner Calum Ross expects a spike in
activity before the deadline.
“Unexpected changes to the
market that make access to capital
more di� cult historically have had
a signifi cant short-term impact,
followed by an adjustment,” he told
New Home Guide.
“Expect market activity to go
up substantially on homes priced
between $500,000 and $1 million
through until the deadline. Personally,
the only surprise part of this
announcement is why they didn’t do
this sooner. The fact people were
able to do fi ve per cent down beyond
$500,000 was ridiculous to begin
with. Homeownership is a privilege,
not a right.”

While you might expect that Canada’s largest and most expensive markets such as Toronto and Vancouver are also the hottest, that’s not necessarily the case.

EDMONTON, CALGARY and other
markets already experiencing a
slowdown are among the cities
expected to feel additional cooling
by the federal government’s
new minimum down payment
requirement.
In December, Finance Minister
Bill Morneau announced changes
to the rules for government-backed
mortgage insurance, intended to
contain risks in the housing market,
reduce taxpayer exposure and
support long-term stability.
E� ective Feb. 15, 2016, the
minimum down payment for new
insured mortgages will increase
from fi ve per cent to 10 per cent
for the portion of the house price
above $500,000. The fi ve-per-
cent minimum down payment for
properties up to $500,000 remains
unchanged.
The move represents a graduated
approach to increasing the down
payment requirement proportionally
to the cost of a home.
“The government’s role in housing
is to set and maintain a framework
that is equitable, stable and
sustainable,” Morneau says. “(These
actions) prudently address emerging
vulnerabilities in certain housing
markets, while not overburdening
other regions. They also rebalance
government support for the housing
sector to promote long-term stability
and balanced economic growth.
“This measure will increase
homeowner equity, which plays a

secure housing market and economy

protects all homeowners, including
many middle class Canadians whose

Morneau also highlighted the

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

So, what might all this mean for

ONE OF THE MOST exciting and
stressful times of purchasing a new
home from plans is the opportunity to
select your own colours and finishes.
Many clients hire us to come along
with them to the builder’s decor
centre for the selection process to
make it smooth, fast and current in
terms of trends.
The word “trend” is a confusing
one, as it is often confused with the
idea of a fad which is short term
and likely to not last more than half
a year to a year in length. A trend
is an underlying current within
the marketplace that is generally
adopted by most people within a
certain category whether it is fashion,
home decor, interior design or a
particular architectural style. It is this
information that residential designers
are highly attuned to and can provide
valuable insight when selecting
materials for your new home.
Here is a quick guide to trends you
may want to consider as you chose
materials and finishes for your new
house or condo.
1) Solid surface countertops
This includes quartz, granite and
other materials such as Corian,
although it is far less popular than
it was a few years ago with the
mass variety and colour of quartz
products. Solid surface counters
are an ongoing trend in kitchens
and master bathrooms, particularly,
but where possible, adding these to
secondary bathrooms and laundry
rooms is also popular. Some of the
new laminate countertop patterns
are pretty nice and can work in less
high traffic spaces – and can offer
cost savings.
2) High gloss porcelain tile in light colours in bathrooms and kitchens
There is no question that we are in
a time of “white” as the dominant

colour for a variety of home decor
objects. Tile is no exception, and
has gone from beige and tumbled
in look to a polished and marbled
fi nish, complete with a high gloss
surface. It is smooth and clean with
a modern edge. This has become a
staple in master bathrooms and front
foyers and given some layouts, even
kitchens and mudrooms. Most tiles
today are larger and are made from
porcelain, which is more durable
overall than ceramic.
which both are popular in main fl oor
rooms as fi nishing treatments.
4) White cabinetry and dark islands
Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is becoming
more common with double-stacked
cabinets. Diff erent coloured islands
continue although wood choices are
moving from maple to cherry and
even to walnut for a more lux feel.
Island colours such as black, ebony,
grey and charcoal have become
more popular, as homeowners look
for creative but classy alternatives to
chocolate brown.
5) Hardwood fl ooring a top seller in new homes
Change is underway in both colour
and fi nish, however. With a nod to
softer palettes, lighter hardwoods
have begun to gain traction with pale
grey-blond fl oors and even ash-
coloured oaks popping up here and
there. Wider plank fl ooring is still more
interesting than long thin strip fl ooring
and the glossy fi nishes of just a few
years ago are on the decline. Look for
more wire-brushed and hand-scraped
fi nishes as they provide surfaces
that are less likely to show wear and
scratches than traditional dark, glossy
hardwoods.
There are more trends out there
in new home construction, but
this summary reminds us that the
underlying current of dominant design
ideas shape what we subconsciously
select in the long run. It is important
to understand what has staying power
and what doesn’t, so you make sound
choices when selecting materials and
fi nishes for your new home. It’s hard
to think too far ahead, it’s possible
that these fi nishes may surround you
and your family for a lifetime. So, do
some research before you make fi nal
selections to ensure you know what
you want and where design trends are
heading.

Rooms where we see this trend
include the family room, dining room,
foyer, offi ce and living
room. Be prepared to look at
baseboard that is seven to 10 in. in
height from the norm of fi ve just a

colour for a variety of home decor
objects. Tile is no exception, and
has gone from beige and tumbled
in look to a polished and marbled
fi nish, complete with a high gloss
surface. It is smooth and clean with
a modern edge. This has become a
staple in master bathrooms and front
foyers and given some layouts, even
kitchens and mudrooms. Most tiles
today are larger and are made from
porcelain, which is more durable
overall than ceramic.
which both are popular in main fl oor
rooms as fi nishing treatments.
4) White cabinetry and dark islands
Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is becoming
more common with double-stacked
cabinets. Diff erent coloured islands
continue although wood choices are
moving from maple to cherry and
even to walnut for a more lux feel.
Island colours such as black, ebony,
grey and charcoal have become
more popular, as homeowners look
for creative but classy alternatives to
chocolate brown.
5) Hardwood fl ooring a top seller in new homes
Change is underway in both colour
and fi nish, however. With a nod to
softer palettes, lighter hardwoods
have begun to gain traction with pale
grey-blond fl oors and even ash-
coloured oaks popping up here and
there. Wider plank fl ooring is still more
interesting than long thin strip fl ooring
and the glossy fi nishes of just a few
years ago are on the decline. Look for
more wire-brushed and hand-scraped
fi nishes as they provide surfaces
that are less likely to show wear and
scratches than traditional dark, glossy
hardwoods.
There are more trends out there
in new home construction, but
this summary reminds us that the
underlying current of dominant design
ideas shape what we subconsciously
select in the long run. It is important
to understand what has staying power
and what doesn’t, so you make sound
choices when selecting materials and
fi nishes for your new home. It’s hard
to think too far ahead, it’s possible
that these fi nishes may surround you
and your family for a lifetime. So, do
some research before you make fi nal
selections to ensure you know what
you want and where design trends are
heading.

IF YOU INTEND on buying a property
in the future, you may need to come
up with a larger down payment
because of recently announced
new mortgage rules.
In early December, Finance
Minister Bill Morneau announced
changes to the mortgage rules.
Starting Feb. 15, 2016, there will be
extra down payment requirements
for properties costing between
$500,000 and $1 million.
The current fi ve per cent minimum
down payment for the fi rst $500,000
will stay the same, but there’ll be a
10 per cent minimum down payment
for the portion of the home price
above $500,000.
For example, someone buying an
$800,000 property would need to
make a down payment of fi ve per
cent on the fi rst $500,000 ($25,000)
and 10 per cent on the remaining
$300,000 ($30,000). That would be
equal to a total down payment of
$55,000, or 6.9 per cent of the total
purchase price or an increase of
$15,000.
The fi ve per cent minimum
down payment for properties up
What the new mortgage rules mean for Canadians
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
to $500,000 and the 20 per cent
minimum down payment for
properties above $1 million both
remain unchanged. And Canadians
who currently have a mortgage will
not be a� ected.
The changes are aimed at slowing
the housing markets in Vancouver
and Toronto. While the average
home price is $454,976 in Canada,
it’s $630,876 in Toronto and
$947,334 in Vancouver, according to
the Canadian Real Estate Association.
Although the changes are meant
to slow two of the country’s hottest
real estate markets, the rules will
apply across Canada. The changes
will apply to new mortgage loans
where a mortgage insurance
application is received on Feb. 15,
2016 or later.
First-time homebuyers who
planned on making a fi ve-per-cent
down payment on a property that
costs between $500,000 and $1
million will be a� ected the most.
That could lead them to do one of
the following:
» Purchase before the new rules
come into e� ect on Feb. 15
» Delay their purchase until they’ve
saved the additional funds
» Come up with the additional down
payment through a gift from family
» Buy a property under $500,000,
which could mean they’d buy
a condo instead of a house (in
certain markets)
The new rule changes are the latest
in a series of moves since 2008
that have attempted to slow down
the housing market. Some of the
changes include decreasing the
maximum amortization for insured
mortgages to 25 years, increasing
the minimum down payment from
zero to fi ve per cent, and raising
the minimum down payment on
investment properties from zero to
20 per cent.

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.

Welcome to 2016
Intelligence House is beginning the new year with a general review of how economic experts expect key provincial indicators to perform throughout 2016. For this exercise, we’ve studied the comprehensive survey of provincial outlooks published by the Alberta Treasury Board and Finance, in conjunction with their most recent provincial budget, as well as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s winter outlook for Alberta’s housing market.
In general, today’s provincial outlooks call for moderate economic performance under the expectation that the price of oil will average marginally higher in 2016 by comparison to those experienced prior to 2015. This expectation is different from the general expectation issued last January when many economists assumed oil prices would grow consistently throughout 2015 and 2016. With this new scenario, a new reality has set in and the expectation for Alberta’s labour markets and corresponding net migration levels in 2016 are in general, moderate.
*Alberta Treasury Board and Finance Average and Range of Outlook Survey (Oct 2015) **CMHC Housing Market Outlook for Canadian Prairie Regions (Nov 2015).
That said, the net economic outcome of 2016’s labour market (real GDP) is expected to outpace 2015 levels, which will encourage stronger household income growth. In turn, annual resale housing transactions in the province are expected to reach similar levels as experienced in 2015, keeping housing prices in this market marginally higher on average.
Provincial new housing starts are, however, expected to contract as the market for new homes focuses more on selling current constructing inventory. This will help relieve any downward price pressure that might otherwise occur if the level of unsold completed new homes were to increase.
The table below provides a summary of the forecasts reviewed in the above interpretation.
Intelligence House reminds the reader that this outlook is for the province as a whole, and does not apply to every provincial community equally – as some communities are poised to perform much better than others by a similar analysis.

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.

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.”

Showhome Review | THE ARLINGTON
MORRISON HOMES presents this beautiful showhome in McConachie
in northeast Edmonton. This two-storey home with double attached
garage is elegant and stunning throughout.
From the moment you arrive, you can see the attention to detail
that Morrison Homes is known for.
This 2,387-sq.-ft. home definitely has the “wow” factor. The front
entrance is grand with an open concept floorplan and California
knockdown ceilings. Immediately catching your eye are the white
pillars that frame the open flex room.
With nine-ft. ceilings on the main floor, this home has an open,
bright and airy feel to it. The interior is modern yet classic with grey
and white decor. Windows fill the rear walls of the home, and since
they are large, they fill the space with lots of natural light.
The entrance from the garage is designed to be efficient and
convenient. A built-in bench makes for easy shoe removal. The
walkthrough pantry makes putting away groceries faster than ever
before. Frosted doors on both pantry entrances reflect the style and
sophistication of this home. A pocket door connects the mudroom
to the main hallway.
The kitchen is a chef’s delight. With a modern hood fan, massive
granite island with undermount deep sink, gleaming stainless steel
appliances and more, there’s lots of room to
work amid these luxurious finishes. The flush
eating bar on the island makes grabbing a
quick bite easy and works so well as a buffet or
serving station when entertaining.
The cabinetry in the kitchen is a sleek grey
and extends all the way up to the ceiling. Light
fixtures are modern and fun, which accent the
home beautifully. The eating nook could easily
accommodate six to eight people for dining. A

THE GARNEAU IS one of the oldest
neighbourhoods in Edmonton and
is named after homesteader Laurent
Garneau. Historical buildings and
heritage homes share the tree-
lined streets with new highrise
condominiums, walk-up apartments
and 1950s houses.
LifestyleLife in The Garneau is enriched by
life’s simple pleasures – recreation
and a strong sense of community.
Sunday afternoons are spent on cafe
patios enjoying creatively prepared
food and drink among friends and
neighbours. Joggers are often seen
departing the neighbourhood and
cyclists congregate outside the bike
shop, or moms sipping espresso
while watching their children roam
the playground. Residents love The
Garneau – and it shows.
Meet the neighboursPart of what makes The Garneau such
a vibrant community is its diversity.
Expect to fi nd people who have lived
in The Garneau for decades next
door to a house of transient university
students. Young professionals and
families with children live among
residences for seniors and persons
with disabilities. The neighbourhood
culture is one of acceptance,
helpfulness, consideration and
community.
In the areaThe Garneau is known for its fancy
co� ee shops, award-winning
restaurants, obscure craft beer
pubs and eclectic shops. Although
happy hour might feature a bargain
priced specials, expect to pay a
little more at establishments here.
Prices range from average to above
average, but business owners in this
neighbourhood have proved that
you’ll always get what you pay for,
and they rarely disappoint.
Planes, trains & automobilesPedestrians rule in The Garneau.
Those who live and work here
can easily walk to all amenities,
including shops, healthcare and
community centres. The LRT and
