People Are Moving Up To Southwest Ontario

attamy Homes began in Oakville, Ontario. And now, like many Ontarians, we’ve been drawn southwest. Our first community in Kitchener is named

Wildflowers. Aptly named, it’s been a wild success.

Modern families are attracted by Mattamy’s thoughtful design and construction ethic. We insist on building spaces people love to live in. Four model homes in Wildflowers will let you see first-hand the results of the Mattamy Way. A master-planned community, Wildflowers offers a variety of home styles and community features.

W hen Southwestern Ontario Home Builders’ Annual sat down to plan this issue, particularly the question we

would pose to our Expert Panel (see page 19), the issues to address were clear. The economy is expected to perform well in 2015, but housing affordability is being increasingly tested. Location has always been central to real estate, but for a myriad of reasons, lifestyle and housing type are increasingly entering the equation.

How should consumers weigh these considerations to make the best homebuying decision?

That’s a lot of information – very serious information – for homebuyers to digest.

The contributors to our Expert Panel – executives at some of SWO’s most experienced home builders – already know this, because they live it every day. And they have excellent insight to help clarify your answers.

The home building industry – like so many other sectors in Canada – is changing. Economic and market conditions, interest rates, affordability and consumer demands are just some of the many issues that affect their business, and of course, your homebuying decisions.

Indeed, what we’re hoping you learn more about as you enjoy this 2015 edition of the Southwestern Ontario Home Builders’ Annual, is the selection and quality on offer from the area’s builders – among the best new home options anywhere in the country. They are keenly aware of today’s consumer needs, and are impressively adept at delivering on all counts.

After you read this issue and get out there to tour the communities, we’re confi dent you’ll agree that new homes here are second to none.

GABRIEL WAS SIX AND A HALF MONTHS OLD WHEN HE developed a fever and fl u-like symptoms. After seeing his pediatrician, Gabriel went to a local hospital to undergo bloodwork which showed that his red blood cells were extremely low, and his white cell count, extremely high – an indication of blood cancer. Fearing leukemia, he was rushed by ambulance to the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). That night, April 23, 2012, Gabriel was diagnosed with infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Gabriel spent the next six months almost entirely at SickKids since his condition required extremely close monitoring.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the white blood cells characterized by excess lymphoblasts. Malignant, immature white blood cells continuously multiply and are overproduced in the bone marrow. Normal cells like red blood and platelets are under produced which can ultimately result in organ failure and death if not detected early. ALL is the most common blood cancer in childhood with a peak incidence at two to fi ve years of age and another peak in old age. Infant ALL represents about two per cent of all paediatric cancer and is much harder to treat than childhood leukemia.

Doctors told the family that Gabriel’s condition was extremely serious. Upon diagnosis he was already very sick. His healthcare team indicated that survival rates for this type of cancer are documented at less than 50%. Gabriel experienced several long and intensive chemotherapy cycles. The fi rst four cycles included chemotherapy that could only be given in-hospital. Upon completion, Gabriel was sent home to continue his treatment mostly as an outpatient.

Nearly one hundred days before Gabriel fi nished treatment, the cancer returned. He was readmitted to the hospital and spent eight months undergoing an even more intensive chemotherapy regimen including radiation. In June 2014, Gabriel was fortunate enough to receive a bone marrow transplant from his older sibling. Since returning home in August, Gabriel has been in isolation due to his immune compromised state. Gabriel is making a slow and steady recovery. His kidneys, which suffered signifi cant damage as a result of his life-saving treatment, have begun to heal, with the hopes that he will recover to optimal health.

“This has been a long journey and SickKids has been there every step of the way. The hospital became our home and the staff our extended family. It is a very lonely existence when you hear the words ‘your child is sick’, and SickKids took care of our entire family. The SickKids team enabled us to keep moving forward during a marathon that required a sprint fi nish. Gabriel’s team took a holistic approach to his care. While all were focussed on saving his life, it was never forgotten that Gabriel was still a child who needed normal childhood experiences. SickKids is a place where Gabriel felt safe, where he made many friends and participated in fun programs and activities. SickKids hospital provided us with a community that we will always be part of.” – Asaph, Gabriel’s dad.

Legal Notes

10 helpful suggestions

when purchasing a condominium

01 If you decide to purchase a condominium, it is safer and more predictable to purchase a new unit, since you won’t have to be concerned about expensive repairs or special assessments. Your only concern will be to determine what the monthly common element expense will be, as it is like a mortgage that never gets paid off. Still, there is built-in security and convenience when you own a condominium. Your monthly maintenance is managed for you and you never have to worry about a leaky roof, shoveling snow or mowing the grass on a hot summer day.

02 Prior to purchasing a condominium, examine the Status Certifi cate from the property manager to determine whether there is an adequate reserve fund for future maintenance and repairs, and if there will be an increase in the monthly common expense payment in the near future.

03 You should also examine the by-laws to determine whether there are clauses you can’t live with, such as those that deal with pets. If you are considering renovating, you may need to get approval from the board of directors, as certain renovations cannot be undertaken without approval.

04 When negotiating the offer, try to have the seller pay for the cost of the Status Certifi cate – which is approximately $100.

05 Some condos are hybrid – for example, a freehold townhouse where the maintenance of the grounds and roads is managed by the condominium corporation. The common expenses are subsequently lower because you are paying only for common area clean-up, such as snow removal and grass cutting. You are completely in charge of maintaining your own freehold unit.

06 Be careful when purchasing an older condominium. Consider having an inspection performed. With older buildings, there may be surprises such as special assessments. These are one-time expenses to tend to – urgencies such as roof, windows or parking lot replacement.

07 The ideal way to determine the health of the condominium unit is to speak to some of the other unit owners. This way, you will get a very honest and truthful opinion on whether the condominium is being properly managed.

08 Remember that although the condominium corporation carries a master policy of fi re insurance on the building, each individual unit owner must carry their own insurance to cover damage to the inside of the unit, including kitchen appliances, cupboards, furniture and more importantly, liability.

09 If you are the type of person who has a problem with rules and regulations and you’re looking for fl exibility in your residence, then condominium living may not be for you. You are subject to the rules of the board of directors and the regulations that go with the condominium. Also, you are living close to many people, some of whom may not be to your liking.

10 If you are seeking independence and total control, an affordable single-family dwelling or freehold townhouse may be more in line with the way you want to live.

Market Report

by WAYNE KARL

Southwestern Ontario and its housing markets uniquely

positioned to benefit from economic shift

ONTARIO AND PARTICULARLY THE Southwestern region are uniquely positioned to benefit from an economic shift underway in Canada. The province – and its strong manufacturing base in SWO – will be among the national leaders in growth this year.

“Ontario, with its minor exposure to the oil and gas extraction sector, is expected to receive a significant economic boost in the short term,” says Marie-Christine Bernard, associate director, provincial forecast, for The Conference Board of Canada’s Provincial Outlook: Winter 2015.

Ontario’s economy is projected to grow by 2.9 per cent this year, bolstered by strong exports and consumer spending – the first year since 2002 in which economic growth in Ontario is expected to outpace the national average of 1.9 per cent.

How does this impact real estate?In Ontario, manufacturing sectors such as the auto industry are key contributors to the economy. And when a sector is healthy, it leads to job growth, which leads to demand for housing – be it rental, at first, as people move to an area to pursue employment, or ownership, once they have settled in and gained employment stability.

For example:» In February, Ford Motor Co. announced it is adding 400 new

jobs in Oakville, Ont. to assemble the redesigned Ford Edge crossover. This is in addition to the 1,000 positions added there in 2014.

» Late last year, Honda Canada announced it was investing $857 million to upgrade three plants north of Toronto to make the next generation Civic. With 10 per cent of the cost coming from the Ontario government, the three-year project includes partnerships with Ontario colleges and universities.

» Earlier this year, General Motors announced a $560-million investment in its Ingersoll, Ont. plant to make the new Chevrolet Equinox.

The economic benefits deepen when you look at the supply sector – companies that supply parts to the automakers.» Linamar Corp. announced in January it is investing $400

million – plus $100 million from the Ontario and federal governments – at its plant in Guelph, Ont. to make new, more environmentally friendly transmissions. The move will create 1,200 new full-time jobs.

» Toyota Boshoku Canada recently announced it is partnering with the provincial government to expand its Elmira, Ont. manufacturing facility, creating 73 new jobs. Toyota Boshoku supplies parts to Toyota’s Ontario assembly plants in Woodstock and Cambridge.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. and other sources confirm that housing markets in key Southwestern Ontario areas – including Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge, and London – will experience healthy demand this year as a result of such growth.

if you’re considering purchasing a new home, the decision today is more complex than it was as recently as 10 years ago. In February 2005, The Greenbelt Act became law, and this has had a major impact on housing in the GTA.

By protecting a broad swath of rural land from development, the Greenbelt has created stronger demand, as well as higher land prices, within the city limits, and increased density. This has made homes within the Greenbelt much more expensive, and homes further out are now the more affordable alternative – with, of course, a longer commute.

So, if you’re considering a new home, there are a number of questions you should ask yourself, each of which factor into your decision.

First, start with the financial considerations. Can you afford a lowrise home in the city? Or is a lowrise home far outside the Greenbelt more appropriate to your budget. Or is a condo the right price range? And you don’t have to choose a downtown condo tower. Rosehaven is building midrise condos in communities such as Brampton and Burlington, and that style of architecture can be quite affordable in a suburban setting.

Then there’s housing type. Are you committed to a traditional lowrise home? To many, living in a condo isn’t something they feel comfortable with. To others, a condo is perfect. Aside from the financial issues, condo living is a very personal decision and it merits consideration before you begin your search for a new home.

Then, of course, there are lifestyle issues. Given the dollars you have available for a home, is more space and a larger lot one of your most important considerations? In that case, you may consider moving further out where homes and land are less expensive. Or is location more important? In this case, you may consider somewhere smaller and closer to the city.

You should also consider transportation issues. How far from work are you willing to live? Are there areas with better transportation connections that make owning there more appropriate for your life? Will you compromise on space, as in choosing to live in a condo that may be closer to your work? Or will you compromise on distance, and accept a longer commute? Transportation is perhaps the key issue facing the GTA today.

Choosing a new home is a complex decision, but fortunately Ontario is one of the strongest, healthiest real estate markets in North America. At Rosehaven, for example, we’re building in communities across Southern Ontario, from Chippawa near Niagara Falls to as far north east as Mt. Albert north of Stouffville. You will have a lot of choice, wherever you decide to live.

The allure OF LUXURY CONDO LIVING

THE BENEFITS OF UPSCALE CONDO OWNERSHIP SEEM TO be winning over homeowners across the province. Although not for everyone, luxury condo living does have a distinct allure over large freehold homes, and has become an increasingly attractive homeownership option for singles, young couples, families and retired couples… just about everyone!

Unlike standard condo buildings, a luxury condominium community looks for ways to make every aspect of the building stand out – using upscale architectural themes and techniques. Rather than sticking to the prevailing style of residences in your area, luxury condominiums tend to opt for dynamic exterior appeal that delivers an aura of prestige and prominence.

The interior of a luxury condominium possesses an equally distinctive appearance. Marble or stone floors and countertops are the standard. Oversized, spa quality bathtubs adorn spacious master suites and luxury kitchens are nothing short of gourmet quality. Vaulted ceilings in some condos give the illusion of living in the most spacious house you can find.

Still, looks aren’t everything. Community developers understand that the pretty factor is a nice perk, but not the primary reason people buy real estate. Condo owners demand homes that cater to their fast-paced lifestyle, and most luxury condominiums are ready to deliver with in-building amenities that provide creature comforts and conveniences.

Amenities shouldn’t be the primary determinant in making the switch to condo living, but once you have taken the plunge, it’s only right to get your money’s worth. Fitness centres, 24-desk staff, pools, spas entertainment lounges, Wi-Fi access and all the other lifestyle benefits your facility provides can be integrated into a daily routine. These amenities really do add substantial benefit to a lifestyle geared toward more personal happiness.

Condominium-hotel projects, in particular, have become popular because they offer all the conveniences of the upscale hotels, while giving residents the privacy of their own apartments. For example, homeowners can have their guests stay in one of the on-site hotel suites, without compromising their own comfort.

As a condominium owner, you are an integral part of a community within a community. You don’t just have neighbours, you have partners and enforced rules and relationships.

With a residence in an entire building of other like-minded individuals, there is also the benefit of social living. Getting to know your close neighbours, relaxing in the common areas, enjoying the amenities, and getting help from the staff all prove to

be great ways to meet others and develop new relationships.

Along with the social aspect, there’s the inherent security you get from the “safety in numbers.” With fellow unit owners always around, you will seldom have to worry about typical security concerns in other housing forms. Additionally, most complexes employ full-time personnel and security systems that ensure further safety.

The benefits don’t end there. Tedious tasks such as mowing lawns and shoveling snow are taken care of for you. This gives you more leisure time to do the things you need and want to do.

In the most fundamental terms, a luxury condo is all about having a care-free residence that gives you more for your money. Whether you are a young, hard-working professional looking to live in one of the country’s most sought after locales, or you are a retiring homeowner looking to downsize, luxury condos present a great option for any stage of life.

the trends we’re seeing with our customers and the research we’ve done clearly suggest that the traditional North American idea of

housing – big house on a big lot in suburbia – is nowhere near that simple anymore. It’s critically important in today’s world to focus on how you actually live, taking into account a whole host of considerations.

First and foremost is the notion of thoughtfully designed homes, instead of just bigger homes. In terms of the interior design of the home, a key question for homebuyers is: how is space utilized within the home? I think of it as the “jewel-box theory” of design – if you think about a jewelry box, it’s very small but it uses the space within it extremely effectively; it’s highly organized. And so as we move away from these very large homes with big rooms, we move toward smaller homes but try and utilize the space much more effectively. A specific example is thinking about the transition from outside to inside. At Mattamy, we put a lot of thought into “stop-and-drop” spaces and landing areas coming into the home from the garage.

It’s all about a constant evolving of the design to ensure that the primary functions of a home are preserved at an appropriate scale, while a lot of the secondary functions are reduced. Utility rooms, hallways and places where you don’t spend a lot of time become smaller, to ensure that there are still generous kitchens, Great Rooms and bedrooms – more of what people want and use in their home and less of what they don’t.

The lowrise industry can learn a lot from the highrise industry in terms of efficiency of design. The way highrise units have maximized the usability of the square footage through really thoughtful design, is beginning to happen on the lowrise side.

Homebuyers also need to think about all of the other places where certain aspects of family living take place. It’s no longer the case that the primary place where you raise your family is within the confines of your house and yard. You use the community and all the amenities around as part of that – whether it’s the local arena, park or library. A smaller home and yard, with all of the right amenities around it, are important considerations to weigh when thinking about housing needs.

The best advice for homebuyers trying to weigh all these factors is that what your family really needs from a home and community is the most important thing. If you invest in location, thoughtful design and amenities – and not simply square footage – you’ll always be much better off.

Thoughtful design, effective use of space

homebuyers need to determine which of these factors is most important to them in finding the right

home. Is it important to be able to walk to work? On the other hand, would you mind commuting if it means you’ll have a detached home with a backyard? Or, are you looking for low maintenance and on-site amenities? These are all important questions to ask and go back

Industry Relations, Empire Communities to the factors of location, lifestyle and housing type.

Location is one of the strongest determining factors when one considers transit challenges and people’s preferences. There is a segment that embraces the work/live/play/shop lifestyle and opts to live in the downtown core. They often abandon the car until the weekend, because they can take transit, the streetcar or walk to work.

Location is also important to the person who drives to work and will continue doing so if it means they’ll have a bigger house or a lot. In our industry, there’s a saying that “You drive until you qualify,” which is based on the size of the mortgage you can afford as you move further away from the GTA.

Lifestyle has increasingly become a significant factor in the condo market, because we see that people are spending less time at home and more time at work or outside of their home, whether it’s for entertainment or going to the gym. These purchasers are okay with a smaller form of housing where little maintenance is required.

The driver for housing type is often density. Some people want to be close to their neighbours, and living in a condo gives them the chance to meet in the gym, at the pool or even in the elevator. In a lowrise community, there is more privacy due to less density, but it doesn’t mean you can’t meet your neighbours at the nearby park or walking trail. If someone is determined to fulfill their dream of the white picket fence, they may be driven further outside the core. Alternatively, they can go the route of a townhome, which is a great way to enter the housing market.

Once you determine which of these three factors are the most important to you as well as what you are able to afford, they can then act as a filter to direct your home buying decision.

finding the perfect home can be one of the most exciting experiences of your life. But without the right knowledge of the market and multitude of projects

and housing types available, finding the right home at the right price can be challenging. With provincial policy to curb urban sprawl and greenbelt legislations to protect our greenspace, land supply is scarce. The result has been increased pressure on land values

“Developers are now forced to ‘build up’ and intensify downtowns to take advantage of existing infrastructure.”

The right home at the right price

Tariq E. AdiPresident & CEO

Adi Development Group Inc.

for infill type of developments, causing lowrise developers to rethink their strategies.

The GTA is growing and demographics are changing, and so are housing trends and needs. More people are opting for walkable, compact housing in transit friendly centres with access to amenities, shopping, schools, major highways and arterials. Outside Toronto, these types of developments aren’t hard to find. The challenge is finding developments in GTA suburbs that offer a balance between affordability and walkability. Although we are seeing more infill developments in suburban areas such as Burlington, Oakville and Richmond Hill, the core issue remains that these cities were built with a suburban planning in mind, and vehicular dependency was the number one consideration.

However, the trend is changing, as scarcity of land and increasing Development Charges have driven the price of a new single-family dwelling in the GTA suburban municipalities to more than $1 million. Developers are now forced to “build up” and intensify downtowns to take advantage of existing infrastructure. This opens up a world of possibility for the new- home buyer. There’s never been a more exciting time to shop for a new home.

The first question buyers should ask is “What is most important to me as a buyer?” followed by “And what type of lifestyle do I see for myself?” Identifying your budget will help your focus your search – determining whether a single-family or townhome is within reach, or if a condo is the right choice. If the latter is the right choice, does the building offer the amenities you’re looking for? Some condos offer great packages with pools, gyms and party rooms – but at a cost. If these things aren’t important to you, then maybe a condo with fewer amenities and lower fees is the best option. Condos offer more of a maintenance-free “lifestyle” than suburban single-family freehold homes that require more owner upkeep.

The next step would be to decide where you’d like to live – a big city such as Toronto, or perhaps a more affordable suburban alternative? The key points to consider are: length of commute to work and proximity to transit, quality of life the city and community offers, proximity to schools for young families, and to other amenities such as grocery, banking and restaurants. The big city offers access to the subway and GO transit, eliminating the need for a vehicle, while suburban municipalities still remain somewhat car dependent, with transit improvements coming to reduce that dependency.

A site such as Adi’s LINK2 condos + Lofts in Burlington offers a balance between both – being on the new regional BRT transit line (bus rapid transit), while being in a walkable, mature community minutes away from the major highways such as the 407 and 403 and two major GO stations.

The two main questions are always going to be “What can I afford?” and “What type of lifestyle do I want to live?”

Life. Imagined.

Whoever said you can’t have it all, doesn’t live here.

There’s nothing like a little extra space to spread your wings. With larger lots, double

car garages, and great rooms for family gatherings you simply get more than you

bargained for with a Phelps home. Not only do you get more space to live, but the

craftsmanship and modern designs have been specially chosen and carefully built.

And what really makes a Phelps home special is where we put it. In Smithville. Away

from the hustle and bustle of a big city, surrounded by nature’s best - but close

enough to the things that matter; schools, farmers’ markets, and local wineries.

Visit our model home and start living the life you imagined.

fresh local markets are all within close proximity to big city amenities.

At the four Phelps Homes Smithville communities there is something for everyone. Brookside on the Twenty features in-demand detached bungalows on 50 foot lots many of which back onto the 20 Mile Creek. With larger than average double car garages, open-concept living spaces and large front porches complete with stone and brick accents - this active adult community is well on its way to being sold out. The Atwater Collection, a private enclave of 46 attached bungalows are perfect for empty-nesters looking to “right-size” for the right price. The Atwater Collection starts in the 280’s.

Nearby at Streamside and Auburn Trail, a collection of executive bungalows and two storey family homes on 50 foot lots feature leading designs and top quality finishes. Pricing starts in the 360’s.

Why Phelps Homes?

This year marks a significant milestone for Phelps Homes as it celebrates 40 years of custom-inspired building in Niagara. Phelps Homes takes a unique approach to building architecturally distinct communities with key features that today’s homebuyers are looking for.

Phelps Homes began as a custom homebuilder in Grimsby and the company’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship is what continues to fuel steady growth within the Niagara Region. Phelps Homes has won countless awards including the Niagara Home Builders’ Association “Builder of the Year Award” in 2012. This year, Phelps Homes will continue to build and develop across four communities in Smithville, West Niagara, where

they’ve been the primary builder for the past six years. “The communities we’re building in Smithville are impressive,” says David Wassmansdorf, VP at Phelps Homes. “There’s a demand for our large lots, modern floor-plans and distinct craftsman-style exteriors that are unlike what other builders are offering. Not to mention, the location. We’re seeing a definite trend where families and empty-nesters are leaving the suburbs in Burlington, Hamilton and Oakville for a relaxed change of pace and more attractive pricing.”

Smithville is a quintessential small town that offers the lifestyle more and more people crave. Fresh air, meandering country walking trails, conservation areas, world-class wineries and

EMPIRE COMMUNITIESWe create inspiring new places to live. By being pioneers in our industry, by giving more and by caring for the world around us, with designs that make luxury more affordable.

LIVING OUR WORKWe’ve built more than 10,000 new homes and condos across Southwestern Ontario and the GTA. And we have more than 20,000 fully planned homes on the way. For us, life revolves around giving our best, thinking differently and treating every single person with respect.

This attitude has helped us grow from a small, single-project property developer to one of Canada’s largest homebuilders. Beyond this, it drives our ability to make a positive impact.

LOVING OUR ROOTSWe opened our doors as Empire Communities in 1993. But our story begins long before that. Our founders’ families have played a major role in the development of Southwestern Ontario and the GTA since the 1960s.They have contributed to the construction of landmarks like the Rogers Centre, Scotia Plaza and the Gardiner Expressway. Today, we continue this legacy at Empire.

LOVE LIFE, LIVE EMPIREWe love doing what we do, because it’s fun to see people thrive in their community. This simple joy drives us to design homes, condos and neighbourhoods that enhance the way people live and interact, every day.

MASTER PLANNED LIVINGWe create vibrant, connected communities from the ground up. That means finding the right land, building the best homes and defining distinct neighbourhoods.

Just look at Wyndfield, our master-planned community of nearly 3,000 homes in Brantford, Ontario. We designed Wyndfield in 1998 to grow into a place where families could enjoy luxury living at an affordable price – a place to share great experiences.

Set on the rolling hills of southwest Brantford, Wyndfield is exactly that. With plenty of schools,

parks, trails, sports fields and nearby retail stores, life is easy here. The best part is, it ’s also more sustainable. There are over 1, 000 Energy Star qualified homes at Wyndfield. That means more people save on energy bills.

With continual Empire contributions to local sports teams, businesses, festivals and infrastructure, Wyndfield remains the ideal master-planned community.

Prices, sizes and specif ications are subject to change without notice. Please see Sales for full details. Exclusive listing brokerage: TFN Reality Inc. Broker Protected. E. & O. E.
