Mark and Martha are professionals who appreciate all the advantages of downtown living available at Park Point without giving up a beautiful yard. Now they can work and play from a lovely new home, enjoy the views and convenience of living right on a park – and walk everywhere. Another way that Park Point is raising the bar on lifestyle, quality and value in Calgary.

“My humans are so smart. Our front yard is a park. We love the local neighbourhood and cafés and especially the 5 acre park.”

Smaller households, smaller homes

Protect yourself from the chill

Canadian households are shrinking,

according to Statistics Canada data.

Seven decades ago, the average

household consisted of 4.3 people; by

2011, the average size had dropped to

2.5 people per household.

While the majority of Canadian

homes over the last century were

built to support larger families,

nowadays one or two people make

up the majority of households. This

is why condominium living have

become increasingly popular.

The impact of smaller families on

the Canadian housing market has

been significant, spurring a dramatic

change in the types of homes and

apartments being constructed.

The introduction of townhomes,

lofts and condominiums is effectively

servicing smaller families and singles

who need homes and nearby

amenities. While larger homes are still

a need for some, the next time you

see another crane in the air, keep this

new demographic dynamic in mind.

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 five per cent to 10 per

cent for the portion of the house price

above $500,000, could well have other

unintended consequences.

In particular, Calgary is among those

markets that these new rules could

inflict additional cooling upon, at a

time when conditions are already chilly

enough.

Prospective buyers have a few

choices: buy before the new rules

take effect Feb. 15, 2016; find 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 Calgary economy

and housing market is expected to

begin warming up.

cover story

THE HUGE SUCCESS of the Copperfield Park trilogy with

its “Love It, Live It, Afford It” mantra continues to roll with

Brad Remington Homes’ latest condo development in

Legacy.

The first building in Legacy Park sold out quickly as

people lined up to be the first to buy into this new offering,

and its amazing success has spurred Brad Remington

Homes into celebrating the New Year right with the launch

of sales in the second building the first week of February.

“Our goal with Legacy Park was to raise the bar

with improved floorplan designs, specifications and

presentation with better pricing then we have offered

before,” says Bryan Logel, vice-president of sales and

marketing of Brad Remington Homes. “Our customer’s

response was nothing short of incredible.

“We had 56 people lined up when we launched Legacy

Park, which was amazing because even when oil the oil

and gas market was booming we never had that type of

response,” Logel notes. “What we’re seeing here is that

our homes and pricing appeal to hard working Calgarian’s

who need an opportunity like this to own their own home.

And, they are taking advantage of the opportunity with the

low interest rates and affordability, to purchase rather than

rent.”

Legacy Park provides homeowners

with high quality, stylish one and two-

bedroom designs starting at $129,000

and going up to the $260,000s so

they can “afford It.”

“The majority of the homes in the

first building were under $200,000,

such as the G plan – a two-bedroom/

two bath with underground parking

for $189,900 – a price point the

Calgary market has lacked,” Logel

says. “Legacy Park has a floorplan and

affordability for every purchaser.

“We’re hitting the current

marketplace head on by making

sure each home is super affordable,

while still bringing incredible value

with outstanding standards such as

nine-ft. ceilings, granite or quartz

countertops, high quality cabinets

and an underground parking stall

with every suite.”

The first phase in Legacy Park

consists of four, four-storey buildings

offering some of the best-selling

models from Copperfield Park and

introducing some exciting new

floorplans.

The well-appointed interiors also

include full-sized kitchens with an

appliance package that includes a

fridge, stove, dishwasher and over-

the-range microwave, premium

cabinetry with soft-close doors and

drawers, in-suite laundry with the

washer and dryer, knockdown ceilings

and private balconies or patios.

Residents can also customize their

homes with a full range of options,

allowing buyers to “love it and live it.”

Legacy Park also features an eye-

catching exterior and strong curb

appeal with premium Hardie plank

siding, brick and intricate detailing.

Legacy is a master-planned

community situated in southcentral

Calgary and Legacy Park is located

right across from park space that

overlooks a pond with fountain and

is literally a stone’s throw away from

the ravine and pathway system that

weaves through the community.

Located just minutes from Stoney

and Macleod Trails with access off

210 Avenue S.E., residents have

access to major traffic corridors and

they’re close to the LRT and a wide

variety of shops, services and dining

amenities up Macleod Trail and in

nearby Shawnessey.

There is an information centre

open on site, or you can register at

mylegacypark.com. “A number of

buyers are also taking advantage

of visiting the new showsuites at

Copperfield Park (99 Copperstone

Park S.E.), so they can see the quality

and the look of the homes,” Logel

adds. “We truly want people to have

equity when they take possession and

know that they’re getting great value.”

The Legacy Park information centre

is located at the corner of Legacy

Boulevard and Legacy Main Street,

open Monday to Thursday, 2 to 8

p.m., and weekends and holidays,

noon to 5 p.m. Copperfield Park III

showsuites are open the same hours.

Property Profile | CARDEL LIFESTYLES

CARDEL LIFESTYLES continues to

build on its reputation for finding

prime locations that put a variety of

amenities at their buyers’ doorsteps

while offering outstanding value

and affordability with its newest

development – Walden Place.

The award-winning developer has

already experienced tremendous

success in southeast Calgary with

developments in Cranston and

Auburn Bay, but Walden Place, which

combines apartment-style condo and

townhomes, will be its first offering

in Walden and is poised to launch

in February.

“It’s also Walden’s first apartment-

style condo development by any

builder, so we’re pretty excited,”

says Brad Logel, sales and marketing

manager. “We believe Walden

Place will be the absolute best that

suburban Calgary can offer for

condos and townhomes.”

It also reunites Cardel Lifestyles

with land developer Genstar

Developments, which has been

developing Walden south of Stoney

Trail and east of McLeod Trail over

the past few years. They previously

worked together on many occasions,

including in Panorama Hills and

Coventry Hills in north central Calgary

where Cardel’s Lighthouse Landing

and Panorama West developments

were exceptionally popular.

The common feature shared

between the north projects and

Walden is they’re all strategically

located within the community, close

to neighbourhood conveniences,

Walden shopping centre that offers

“But Walden Place is also directly

across from a 70-acre future

shopping development and we’re just

steps away from two future schools,

the future community centre, a

pond, parks and pathways,” he says.

“Walden Place will also feature a

large greenspace. So buyers can take

advantage of the already built up

amenities now, and moving forward,

can expect a very high level of

convenient living at their door.”

Walden Place will consist of

428 apartment-style condos in six

buildings and 40 townhomes offering

a wide range of floorplans to choose

from to suit any lifestyle.

Condos range from 544 to 1,021 sq.

ft. with eight different plans in the first

building starting from just $139,900.

“We expect 70 per cent of the

suites in our first condo building to

be priced under $250,000,” Logel

says, adding the first building will have

83 one- and two-bedroom suites

available.

The townhomes will offer three

bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a den and a

double car garage starting from the

$330,000s.

“Walden Place will feature new

plans, new sizes, new standard

specifications and all at affordable

pricing,” Logel says. “It’s an

opportunity for people to have the

best value for convenient living in

Calgary.”

Cardel Lifestyles believes in adding

to the value of their homes and

have compiled a top-notch list of

specifications including extra-large

windows and generous balconies/

decks for Walden Place.

Buyers can also live their HGTV

dream with the many colour choices

and unique options available, and

they can expect exceptional customer

service, as Cardel Lifestyles has been

awarded the New Homebuyers

Choice Award and the New Home

Buyer’s Choice Award in 2015.

“We have the highest customer

service ratings and provide the best

overall experience, we’re also a recent

finalist as one of the Best Managed

Companies in Southern Alberta,”

Logel says. “We love what we do and

can offer a lot of confidence for any

new condo or townhome buyer.”

Cardel Lifestyles plans to open

a sales centre with a fully-dressed

showsuite the first week of February

and launch sales later in the month.

“The sales centre/showsuite will

be similar to our Auburn Walk

development so it will give interested

buyers the full experience of the kind

of lifestyle they can expect at Walden

Place,” Logel adds.

In the meantime, interested buyers

can register at cardellifestyles.com

Property Profile | CARDEL LIFESTYLES

CARDEL LIFESTYLES continues to

build on its reputation for finding

prime locations that put a variety of

amenities at their buyers’ doorsteps

while offering outstanding value

and affordability with its newest

development – Walden Place.

The award-winning developer has

already experienced tremendous

success in southeast Calgary with

developments in Cranston and

Auburn Bay, but Walden Place, which

combines apartment-style condo and

townhomes, will be its first offering

in Walden and is poised to launch

in February.

“It’s also Walden’s first apartment-

style condo development by any

builder, so we’re pretty excited,”

says Brad Logel, sales and marketing

manager. “We believe Walden

Place will be the absolute best that

suburban Calgary can offer for

condos and townhomes.”

It also reunites Cardel Lifestyles

with land developer Genstar

Developments, which has been

developing Walden south of Stoney

Trail and east of McLeod Trail over

the past few years. They previously

worked together on many occasions,

including in Panorama Hills and

Coventry Hills in north central Calgary

where Cardel’s Lighthouse Landing

and Panorama West developments

were exceptionally popular.

The common feature shared

between the north projects and

Walden is they’re all strategically

located within the community, close

to neighbourhood conveniences,

such as parks, pathways, coffee

shops, grocery stores, eateries and

services – everything that makes

living a little easier.

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.

Intelligence House is Alberta’s newest and most innovative

Real Estate Marketing Agency with a focus on strategic

market intelligence which includes full research, marketing

and sales / leasing services for the real estate industry.

Brookfield Residential set to release Regatta in Auburn Bay

WHEN BROOKFIELD RESIDENTIAL

Brookfield Residential is poised to

and begin sales in the first phase of

Regatta – which will eventually be

home to 168 apartment-style condos

in three, four-storey buildings and 56

townhomes – in late January or early

February.

“Regatta is our fourth multi-family

project in Auburn Bay, but it’s our

first apartment-style condo,” says

Kelly Halliday, business development

manager, Calgary South. “The first

building we plan to release in early

2016 has 48 condos featuring both

one- and two-bedroom designs.”

She notes that Brookfield expects

the release of the second condo

building will come later this year,

followed by the third building and

townhomes in the final phase.

“Regatta offers a great location

with close proximity to Stoney Trail, 52

Street and the Deerfoot,” Halliday says.

“It’s also close to Seton, which has a

wide range of shops and services, and

is across from Auburn Station that will

be anchored by a Co-op,” and include

the future Green Line.

Regatta’s condos offer nine floor

plans, ranging from 552 to more than

1,000 sq. ft. to appeal to a variety of

buyers’ needs. Prices will start from the

upper $100,000s for one bedrooms

and in the mid $200,000s for two

bedrooms.

“This is a very affordable price point,

starting in the upper $100,000s – it

has the amenities of a luxury building,

with a bocce ball court, dog wash

for after those walks in the nearby

dog park, and includes the residents

association of Auburn Bay – one of

the key draws for buyers because

they have access to the lake and all

amenities,” Halliday says.

Each suite has an abundance of

natural light with large patio doors just

off the living room area, and feature

designs that are functional, airy and

make maximum use of space.

Buyers will appreciate the high

ONCE YOU STEP into foodie territory,

there’s no going back. It’s exciting to

be on the look-out for new delights

– here are three food and drink

establishments well worth a visit.

Ikemen Ramen Bar and Cocktails

Address: 217 10th St. NW

Phone Number: 403.452.2148

There are few better things to eat on a

cold day than a hot bowl of delicious

noodle soup. Ikemen serves up a

variety of Japanese ramen noodle

bowls each with a distinct flavour

compared to the others because of

carefully chosen ingredients.

Try the mushroom ramen – kombu

shitake broth, assorted mushrooms,

yuzu zest, green kale, garlic chips,

sesame seeds and green onion – but

make sure you add the chicken or

pork on top as you’d be missing out

if you didn’t try at least a few slices of

Ikemen’s melt-in-your-mouth chasu.

Native Tongues

Address: 235 12th Ave. SW


This new beltline Taqueria has got us

all screaming for more of its casual,

yet high-quality Mexican cuisine. With

a strong focus on tacos, menu options

range from just $3.75 to over $35 for

the ultimate sharing platters with the

latter being a great way to get a small

piece of all the humongous tastes at

Native Tongues.

All of the corn tortillas are house-

made are made on-site throughout

the day. Inside of these flavourful

shells you’ll get to enjoy a variety of

classic fillers ranging from chicken

and chorizo to more exotic meats

like braised beef tongue and grilled

octopus mixed in with sides of your

choice such as avocado, diced onions,

roasted poblanos and other specialties

such as peanut chile salsa.

Proof Cocktail Bar

Address: 1302 1st Street SW


You’ll be hard done by to not be able

to find a cocktail that suites your

liking at Proof on First Street Village in

Victoria Park. More than 300 liquors

are available for you to choose from, as

you’ll see behind the bar with the entire

wall covered with bottles, a neat touch

for a food and drink establishment that

is one of the main stars in the growing

cocktail lounge scene here in Calgary.

Proof also has an assortment

of small tapas-style bites great for

sharing ranging from the pickled

shrimp cocktail to the fluffy gougeres,

the perfectly sized snack to go with

any exotic drink on the menu. It’s

first-come, first-served here, but with

about 60 seats, you should be able to

find a spot sooner than later.

ONE OF THE CITY’S oldest inner city

neighbourhoods, Victoria Park has

been transitioning over the past five

years, is constantly announcing new

developments, exciting community

events and an influx of fantastic retail

and restaurants

Lifestyle

Victoria Park’s lifestyle is definitely

that of busy young professionals who

love to dine and drink out on a regular

basis. With a thriving scene of great

restaurants and bars, the residents

of this area love to support local

businesses. While these residents

love the convenience of stepping out

their door to grab a bite to eat, they

also love the convenience of artisanal

markets and fine liquor and wine

shops nearby.

Vibe

Victoria Park is a lively and adaptable

community that is on the rise. With

plenty of new condo developments

currently being constructed in the

area, this neighbourhood will soon

have plenty of new neighbours.

Definitely a hub for foodies and craft

Neighbourhood Profile

beer aficionados, Victoria Park has

plenty of great spots to grab a bite,

pick up some amazing groceries or

sample some craft beer or wine.

Meet the neighbours

The residents of Victoria Park are a

mixed crowd, but young professionals

are the ones buying up the new

condos. Plenty of great spots to eat

and drink make this more of an adult

area, but playgrounds and even a

Montessori Pre-School make it great

for families who love inner city living.

In the area

Victoria Park is centrally located with

easy access to several downtown

schools. Sheldon Chumir Health

Centre is only blocks away, Haultain

Park is a great centrally located

park with a playground, sports field,

benches and picnic tables, as well as a

tennis court and community garden.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Victoria Park is located so close to

the downtown core, that is one of the

best neighbourhoods to commute

from by foot. Residents also love

using Car2Go and the cycling lanes

to enter downtown. Along MacLeod

Trail there is convenient city buses as

well as close access to Victoria Park

LRT station.

The good, the bad & the rest

Victoria Park is a very busy area,

especially with all of the new

developments currently under

construction. While it does get quite

peaceful at night, you can expect

it to be somewhat noisy during the

daytime hours. Thanks to its central

location, Victoria Park is also home

to several social wellness centres

including the Mustard Seed and Inn

From the Cold.

CALGARY, EDMONTON and other markets already

experiencing a cooling are expected to be among

the cities hardest hit by the federal government’s new

minimum down payment requirement.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Dec. 11 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.

Effective Feb. 15, 2016, the minimum down payment for

new insured mortgages will increase from five per cent

to 10 per cent for the portion of the house price above

$500,000. The five-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. Canadians who already hold

mortgages will not be affected by this announcement.

“The actions taken prudently address emerging

vulnerabilities in certain housing markets, while not

Trending

overburdening other regions,” Morneau says.

“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.

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 are

estimated to impact about 10 per cent of new sales, while

in Toronto the figure is five per cent; in Vancouver, just

2.5 per cent.

Advice | CONTEMPLATING CONDOMINIUMS

By Linda Palfi

Hiring a lawyerBuyer and seller can use same one!

YOU HAVE ENOUGH EXPENSES

when you’re buying or selling a

condominium home, so why not save

a few bucks on the legal end? This can

be accomplished by the seller and the

buyer employing the same lawyer to

handle both ends of the transaction.

The saving comes from the lack of

cost to courier documents and trust

cheques back and forth between law

offices. The lawyer also enjoys an

efficiency and increase in business

that many of them share with the

clients by trimming their bills a little.

Remember that the legal processing

of a real estate transaction is not an

adversarial undertaking, although

negotiating the sale/purchase might

have been. In almost all cases, the

conveyancing is a co-operative

administrative process. In a very rare

case where a dispute arises between

parties using one lawyer, each would

turn to a new lawyer to represent

them for a negotiated resolution or

for litigation. During all my years as a

realtor, I’ve never had clients whose

sale or purchase ended up in such

a serious dispute. In fact, good real

estate representation can anticipate

and avoid issues that otherwise can

haunt buyers and sellers.

Both parties using the same lawyer

can save time, as well as money.

Other than waiting for registration

at the Land Titles office, a delay in a

realty transaction can occur when

one law office waits for documents or

cheques to arrive from another. But,

working within one lawyer’s four walls,

a buyer’s “cash to close” cheque,

for example, doesn’t need to go

anywhere. As soon as it’s securely in

the lawyer’s trust account, the lawyer

can tell the buyer’s realtor to give the

new homeowner the keys.

For an average condominium home

purchase in Calgary or Edmonton,

buyers will spend about $1,500 on

legal fees, while sellers might pay

$800. Often, of course, people are

selling one home, and buying another;

in part with the proceeds of the first.

They’re looking at $2,300 in total legal

expenses at a time when every dollar

counts, so shaving some costs is well

worthwhile.

Here are just some of the things you

get for your legal expense as a condo

homebuyer:

• Preparation and registration of

your mortgage.

• Registration of the condo in your

name.

• In-trust holding of your money

and the mortgage money, then

transfer to the seller.

* Payment to CMHC of your

mortgage insurance fee.

* Calculation and allocation of all

expenses between buyer and

seller, such as pro-rated shares of

property tax and condo fees.

* Obtain a “clear” estoppel

certificate from the condo

corporation to ensure fees are

paid up.

* Title search on the property,

plus fetching a copy of the

condo plan from the Land Titles

office (if the lawyer specializes

in condominium real estate,

although a good realtor will

already have done it for you).

* Patient advice and information

services as you ask questions of

your lawyer.

Every condominium seller and

buyer deserves professional legal

services and advice. Once you’re past

the push and pull of negotiating your

sale or purchase, there’s no reason the

two parties to a real estate transaction

can’t save a little time and money

by both using the same professional

lawyer to complete the process.

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 finish,

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.

3) Larger trim work and ceiling details for the main floor

Rooms where we see this trend

include the family room, dining

furniture collection, Jane by Jane Lockhart, by Statum Designs. Visit online at janelockhart.com

room, foyer, office and living room.

Be prepared to look at baseboard

that is seven to 10 in. in height from

the norm of five just a few years ago.

More elaborate ceiling details such as

tray, coffered or waffle applications

continue to grow in popularity, as

well as crown molding in wood or

plaster. Included in this category is

wainscoting and paneling which both

are popular in main floor rooms as

finishing treatments.

4) White cabinetry and dark islands

Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is

becoming more common with

double-stacked cabinets. Different

coloured islands continue although

wood choices are moving from maple

to cherry and even to walnut for a

more lux feel. Island colours such

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 finishes for

your new home. It’s hard to think

too far ahead, it’s possible that these

finishes may surround you and your

family for a lifetime.

So, do some research before you

make final selections to ensure you

know what you want and where

design trends are heading.

as black, ebony, gray and charcoal

have become more popular, as

homeowners look for creative but

classy alternatives to chocolate

brown.

5) Hardwood flooring a top seller in new homes

Change is underway in both colour

and finish, however. With a nod to

softer palettes, lighter hardwoods

have begun to gain traction with

pale grey-blond floors and even

ash-coloured oaks popping up here

and there. Wider plank flooring is still

more interesting than long thin strip

flooring and the glossy finishes of just

a few years ago are on the decline.

Look for more wire-brushed and

hand-scraped finishes as they provide

surfaces that are less likely to show

IF YOU’RE PLANNING on buying a condo to live in or rent

out, here’s an important lesson: purchase prices and rents

will be higher the closer you are to major transit hubs

such as LRT stations.

Sure, it’s convenient to be located adjacent to transit,

but it’ll cost you. How much? We’ll get to that in a minute.

But if you’re okay with a little walking between home and

the station, you’ll also be in for significant savings.

Andrew Scott, senior market analyst, housing markets

and indicators, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

(CMHC), attaches some hard numbers to the concept.

Using the Toronto new highrise condo market as an

example, the average purchase price per square foot for

buildings less than 500 metres walking distance to the

subway is $632. For buyers willing to walk a little further,

say between 500 and 999 metres, it would cost them

$595 per square foot; $557 between 1,000 and 1,999

metres; and $492 beyond 2,000 metres.

For renters, distance also pays – or costs, depending

on how you look at it. Average rents for a two-bedroom

apartment less than 500 metres from the subway are

about $1,477. Between 501 and 1,000 metres, the rate

drops to $1,280, and to $1,158 from 1,001 to 1,500

metres.

“Being close to the subway matters more

for renters than buyers,” Scott told New

Condo Guide.

“Renters often have lower incomes than

owners, and are younger as well. I don’t think

it’s a huge leap in logic to presume that these

households are more likely to value subway

access since they are not able to afford, or do

not want to own, a private car.”

Proximity to transit as a key driver of real

estate is not a new concept; we’ve long

known that there’s a price to pay for access

and convenience.

“Distance is now measured in minutes,

not kilometres,” is how the Real Estate

Investment Network (REIN) sums it up

transportation as one of the most dramatic

catalysts for real estate growth.

Generally, one of the attributes coveted by

homebuyers is nearness to a city’s Central

Business District (CBD). Access to good

highway systems, mass transit and commuter

rail is sought to afford easy access to the

CBD.

The basic theory in real estate is that the

more attractive the location, the higher the

value of the home. As the demand for homes

in that area expands, the result is higher

housing values.

REIN has found that transportation projects

will deliver a 10 to 20 per cent enhancement

of real estate values in the regions most

affected. If the market goes up everywhere,

these areas will increase by about 10 to 20 per

cent more. If the values drop, these will drop

by 10 to 20 per cent less.

The concept is not just a Canadian

phenomenon.

In studies of the effect of transportation

improvements on real estate around the

world, value increases occur for properties

located within 500 to 800 metres of stations

on new transportation lines.

IF YOU’RE PLANNING on buying a condo to live in or rent

out, here’s an important lesson: purchase prices and rents

will be higher the closer you are to major transit hubs

such as LRT stations.

Sure, it’s convenient to be located adjacent to transit,

but it’ll cost you. How much? We’ll get to that in a minute.

But if you’re okay with a little walking between home and

the station, you’ll also be in for significant savings.

Andrew Scott, senior market analyst, housing markets

and indicators, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

(CMHC), attaches some hard numbers to the concept.

Using the Toronto new highrise condo market as an

example, the average purchase price per square foot for

buildings less than 500 metres walking distance to the

subway is $632. For buyers willing to walk a little further,

say between 500 and 999 metres, it would cost them

$595 per square foot; $557 between 1,000 and 1,999

metres; and $492 beyond 2,000 metres.

For renters, distance also pays – or costs, depending

on how you look at it. Average rents for a two-bedroom

apartment less than 500 metres from the subway are

about $1,477. Between 501 and 1,000 metres, the rate

drops to $1,280, and to $1,158 from 1,001 to 1,500

metres.

“Being close to the subway matters more

for renters than buyers,” Scott told New

Condo Guide.

“Renters often have lower incomes than

owners, and are younger as well. I don’t think

it’s a huge leap in logic to presume that these

households are more likely to value subway

access since they are not able to afford, or do

not want to own, a private car.”

Proximity to transit as a key driver of real

estate is not a new concept; we’ve long

known that there’s a price to pay for access

and convenience.

“Distance is now measured in minutes,

not kilometres,” is how the Real Estate

Investment Network (REIN) sums it up

transportation as one of the most dramatic

catalysts for real estate growth.

Generally, one of the attributes coveted by

homebuyers is nearness to a city’s Central

Business District (CBD). Access to good

highway systems, mass transit and commuter

rail is sought to afford easy access to the

CBD.

The basic theory in real estate is that the

more attractive the location, the higher the

value of the home. As the demand for homes

in that area expands, the result is higher

housing values.

REIN has found that transportation projects

will deliver a 10 to 20 per cent enhancement

of real estate values in the regions most

affected. If the market goes up everywhere,

these areas will increase by about 10 to 20 per

cent more. If the values drop, these will drop

by 10 to 20 per cent less.

The concept is not just a Canadian

phenomenon.

In studies of the effect of transportation

improvements on real estate around the

world, value increases occur for properties

located within 500 to 800 metres of stations

on new transportation lines.

create a sweet sleep retreatFive points to help you

Inspiration | STYLE FILE

AS COLD WEATHER SETS in and the days get shorter and

shorter, ensuring our bedrooms feel like sanctuaries

becomes so much more important. The bedroom is

such an easy place to overlook — and in my experience,

it’s often the last place busy parents will invest time

and money. To ensure you get the best sleep possible,

here are some essential steps to creating the best sleep

retreat.

1. Get the best mattress you can afford We

spend a third of our day sleeping — so your mattress

is a product that is absolutely worth investing in. While

it might be scary to look at a high ticket price on a

premium mattress, remember that a good mattress

can last anywhere from five to 10 years or longer. So a

$2,500 mattress amortized over this length of time ends

up costing around the same price as your daily cup of

coffee. And do ensure you try before you buy — don’t

be shy to lie down and toss and turn in the store to

make sure it’s a perfect fit.

2. Keep it dark Keeping a room dark plays a huge

impact on quality of sleep for both adults and children.

Before going to bed, put lights on a dimmer (an easy

change an electrician can do if you don’t have them

currently) to mentally prepare your body for rest. Then

ensure you have black out window coverings for the

best light fastness. In children’s rooms especially, I love

using side channels that a company like Budget Blinds

can install to keep light out from the small gaps that

typically occur on the sides of roller shades.

3. Keep it dramatic I love creating cozy bedrooms.

In my space I used a deep indigo blue called Krimson

Lake by CIL Paints. It is absolutely a myth that dark

colours are inappropriate for small spaces — in a small

space dark paint can make a room feel cosy, dramatic

and inviting. I took the drama one step further by installing

applied moulding from Metrie’s Very Square collection.

Applied moulding painted out the same colour as the walls is

a modern take on a more traditional architectural application.

4. Keep it clean Commit to keeping the bedroom the

cleanest room in the house. At the end of a chaotic day, who

wants to return to chaos? Commit to using laundry hampers,

to putting clean laundry away immediately, and to making

the bed daily. Making the bed, if you don’t do so already,

is a really simple task that will yield huge wins and build

momentum for keeping the rest of the room tidy as well.

5. Make it smell good I use an essential oil diffuser

in the bedroom in the morning to get me energized and

in the evening to get my body ready for sleep. A few

drops of lavender essential oil diffused in the room makes

everything smell good and can do wonders to calm the

nerves and aid in relaxation. For further help getting

the best sleep try an herbal supplement like Pascoflair’s

passionflower to de-stress and aid in restlessness. And

absolutely remember to not let the bedroom become a

dumping ground for mess — you deserve a great night’s

sleep and a restful retreat after a long busy day. Commit to

giving yourself this gift everyday!
