In slightly less than two weeks, Toronto’s already stressed transit and highway systems will be tested like
never before, when the 2015 Pan Am Games take place from July 10 to 26. If you haven’t been paying attention to the advice from organizers and City o� cials about how you might want to alter your commuting method or work schedule, you could learn a lesson the hard way.
About 10,000 athletes and coaches, 20,000 volunteers and who knows how many fans will travel to and from, within and around Toronto and surrounding areas. No one knows for sure, perhaps, but if we think it’s going to be commuting business as usual, we’re likely going to be dead wrong. To say the least, it will be a good test of our systems – and patience.
Fortunately, longer term, Toronto’s aging transit system will get an important boost from the federal government’s decision to fund Mayor John Tory’s SmartTrack plan, to the tune of $2.6 billion. Roughly a third of the total cost, that’s $2.6 billion you and I won’t have to � nd a way to fork over to fund a transit upgrade that is so desperately needed.
Far more than just how we commute, transit is an increasingly essential part of how we plan and build our cities, and where and how we live, work and play.
Construction of SmartTrack and other initiatives, however, will take far longer than two weeks to complete.
So, take a deep breath and enjoy the Games. � e fun is just beginning.
Boosting transit, testing patienceGet used to the disruption for long-term benefi t
Take advantage while you canLow interest rates still in your favour
The Bank of Canada’s most recent rate announcement – holding its interest rate target at
0.75 per cent – is the continuation of good news for prospective homebuyers and those otherwise in the market for a new mortgage.
� ere are many excellent mortgage products available from banks and brokers that will suit your individual needs, and could well be lower than posted bank rates, which are currently hovering around three per cent for a variable rate.
With a pre-approval in hand, you’re protected if rates rise; if they go down, you’ll likely get an even lower rate. A pre-approval can be a win-win situation for shoppers, since it means you don’t
have to wait to get � nancing approval on a home when you put in an o� er. � is is an especially good tool to have when markets are hot. Removing the “conditional on � nancing” clause could mean your o� er is accepted � rst since you already have your � nancing in place.
So when will rates rise? It’s anyone’s guess, but most experts agree there could be some movement later this year. (BoC’s next rate announcement is July 15.)
However, we can’t assume that will be the case, and you shouldn’t wait too long to get pre-approved for a mortgage. It can take a few days. Many lenders o� er online pre-approvals to make the process faster and easier.
Take advantage while you still can.

Cycle Warriors raise $250,000 for Enbridge Ride to Conquer CancerTREASURE HILL PRESIDENT FORGES HIS OWN PATH TO HELP THE PRINCESS MARGARET CANCER FOUNDATION
Four years ago, Nicholas Fidei, president of Treasure Hill, participated in his first Ride to Conquer Cancer and raised $20,000. On June 14, 2015, he was proud to hand the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation a cheque for $250,000. Quite a difference a couple of years makes.
An avid cyclist for many years, Fidei decided three years ago that he didn’t simply want to write a cheque and leave it at that. “I love cycling and have a passion for this cause because everyone is touched by Cancer.” Two years ago, he formed his own team, Cycle Warriors, and over their first two years, Cycle Warriors raised an impressive total of $120,000.
Fidei was happy with their results, but decided to take things to the next gear, so to speak. He was determined to acquire fewer sponsors, but at a higher dollar amount – $5,000 per sponsorship. “Instead of chasing hundreds of people around for a little, I wanted to maximize my efforts. I knew that getting this kind of sponsorship wouldn’t be easy, so I needed to add a perk of some sort,” he says.
Through his own organization, The Nicholas Fidei Foundation, Fidei approached the owner of Active Green + Ross and Peel Chrysler, who donated a Fiat 500 for this cause. “I was able to offer ‘the chance to win a Fiat 500’ to an exclusive number of corporate sponsors, and it worked extremely well.” The Fiat 500 was given away at the finish line at the post-event celebration, where the team, friends and family enjoyed a catered event under a tent. Together, they
celebrated the impressive effort and shared many hugs and congratulations.
As a result of this initiative, Fidei’s Foundation raised $150,000 well before the event. The rest of his team of 24 cyclists raised $100,000, which brought the Cycle Warriors’ 2015 total funds raised to an impressive $250,000.
“This year, our goal was only $100,000,” he says. “We far exceeded that. There’s no limit to where we can go from here.”
The entire event featured 4,853 riders and raised more than $19 million. Fidei was the second-highest individual fundraiser, while Cycle Warriors finished in the top 10.

//BILD REPORT
» by BRYAN TUCKEY
BRYAN TUCKEY is President and CEO
of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and is a land-use planner who has worked for municipal,
regional and provincial governments. Follow
him on Twitter (twitter.com/bildgta), Facebook (facebook.com/bildgta)
and BILD’s official online blog (bildblogs.ca).
Building communities where people play
In every complete community, there are special places where people play. Whether it’s a trail system to cycle on, parks where children run and climb or recreation centres that allow a range of activities for all ages – these spaces are major hubs and often the heart of their communities.
Let’s take a look at places where people play and explain that many come as a result of newly-built communities.
There is a common misconception that new parks, trails and recreation centres are paid for by current residents through their property taxes. However, in most cases across the GTA, that’s just not true. They are often funded through Development Charges and other government fees, paid by new-home buyers when they purchase a new home.
Development Charges are a tax imposed by local municipalities, as well as GO Transit and education boards, and are paid for by new-home buyers to help offset capital costs of growth-related municipal services like roads,
sewers and parks. BILD advocates for fair and reasonable government fees and charges and increased transparency and accountability around how the funds are collected and applied.
The building and land development industry also designs and builds, and in some cases pays for play spaces for people to enjoy in the communities that are constructing.
For example, Daniels Corporation’s City of the Arts project on Toronto’s waterfront will feature new arts and cultural spaces for businesses and non-profit organizations, as well as new shops, restaurants, a new pedestrian promenade and park that will provide a public gathering space for markets, festivals and more.
Committing space and dollars to recreational projects is not confined to the city core.
In the western GTA, the Town of Milton is now home to the new Mattamy National Cycling Centre, and it’s one of two internationally-sanctioned timber tracks in Canada. The track will first be used as a venue during the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games and then open for public use.
The capital costs for the facility were primarily funded through development charges, federal grants and private donations, including a $2 million donation by Mattamy Homes. Specifically, about 25 per cent of the $56-million project budget came from Development Charges generated by new-home buyers, Mattamy Homes and other local developers and builders.

Toronto’s SmartTrack transit gets a big boost with federal funding

Toronto’s transit expansion plans received an important boost recently with the federal government commit-ting to fund Major John Tory’s SmartTrack plan to the tune of $2.6 billion.
Ottawa’s contribution amounts to about one-third of the cost for SmartTrack transit, a regional express rail surface line intended to provide relief for the overcrowded Yonge-Uni-versity-Spadina subway line, and connect Toronto to major employment centres in Mississauga and Markham.
� e funding is to come from the new Public Transit Fund, the federal government’s largest dedicated, permanent infrastructure program, announced in the Economic Action Plan 2015.
WHAT EXACTLY IS SMARTTRACK?
» SmartTrack transit is a Regional Express Rail (RER) surface subway, providing service from the Airport Corporate Centre in the west, southeast to Union Station and northeast to Markham in the east. It will have 22 new station stops and � ve interchanges with the TTC. � e line is scheduled to begin service in 2021.
» All-day, two-way, frequent express service across the city, reducing a commute from Kennedy subway to Union Station to less than 30 minutes, from the current 40 via subway.
» An estimated ridership of 200,000 per day, equivalent to about half the daily ridership of the existing Bloor-Danforth line.
» 53 km in length, and is mainly a retro� t of two existing GO lines operated by Metrolinx. Approximately 90 per cent of its length will be on existing GO trackage. It will not displace any existing roadway.
» � e same fares as regular TTC rides, and will have inte-grated faring with TTC. No new fares will be needed at interchange points with the TTC network.
» Will use new electric multiple unit vehicles (EMUs), and no diesel locomotives.
Since 2006, Ottawa has provided support for a number of major public transit projects across Canada:» $697 million for the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Exten-
sion project in Toronto. � is project is extending the current Spadina line by 8.6 kilometres into the city of Vaughan, connecting to GO Train services and six new subway stations, including one at York University in North York.
» $265 million for a new LRT line between Waterloo and Kitchener, as well as a rapid bus transit from Kitchener to Cambridge.
» $600 million for the construction of the Confederation Line in Ottawa, a 12.5-kilometre electric light rail system that will cross the city, currently under construction and scheduled for start up in 2018.
» $416.7 million for the construction of the Evergreen Line in Metro Vancouver, currently under construction, to link to the existing Millennium Line, with connections to other transit lines and regional bus networks.
» $400 million for the construction of the Edmonton Valley Line (Stage 1) Southeast LRT in Edmonton, integrating into existing LRT and other transportation networks.

A s the land rises to meet the rolling green hills surrounding Holland Landing, you’ll discover Hillsborough, a spectacular new master-planned
community of 650 detached homes just minutes north of Green Lane in Newmarket.
Passing through the stone entry gates, welcoming streetscapes and heritage inspired architecture provide this community with a character all its own. Beautifully appointed homes on 38-, 40- and 45-ft. lots are distinguished by covered porches, bay and arched windows and stone detailing reminiscent of a bygone era. Designs range from 1,700 to 3,650 sq. ft. and feature impressive Great Rooms, formal living and dining rooms, libraries, second-floor family retreats and luxurious master ensuites.

And, with Hwys. 400, 404, 407 and GO Transit all close by, you’re never far from any point on the compass.
In the future, Hillsborough will have both public and Catholic elementary schools and a 14-acre neighbourhood park that will become the focal point of the community. Its playgrounds, splash pads, basketball half courts, trails and a baseball diamond will bring families together and help to transform neighbours into friends.
And, just outside the community, there are countless opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Hillsborough is flanked by two meandering rivers and

N ew-home buyers who desire excellent design, great value and high-level interior
finishes in a superb location should hurry to The Verandas by award-winning builder Geranium Homes.
“Our final construction push is in full swing, and there are only a few of these fully detached homes remaining,” says Stephanie Lane, marketing and sales manager for Geranium.
The Verandas is an all-bungalow neighbourhood with attractive streetscapes and homes that feature covered front porches, double-car garages and low-maintenance exterior materials. Available homes set on 42-ft. lots are spacious two-bedroom layouts, some include finished basement areas, ranging from 1,322 to 1,718 sq. ft. Prices start at just $316,900 with move-in dates as early as spring of 2016.
Visit today – only a few bungalows remain at THE VERANDAS IN PORT HOPE
Empty nesters and professionals are finding the perfect opportunity to right-size their lifestyle, and young families appreciate the affordability of these fully detached homes. By locating 30 to 50 minutes drive east, purchasers are finding The Verandas considerably more affordable when compared to the price of a similar home in Toronto, Whitby and Oshawa.
The Verandas residences are built with Geranium’s excellent construction standards and are Energy Star for New Homes qualified, featuring third-party verification and up to 20 per cent energy savings (over homes built to Ontario Building Code minimum standards).
Available homes are under construction with a variety of layouts, which feature large kitchens with extensive counter space, breakfast areas and Great Rooms (some with a fireplace) perfect for entertaining. Master suites are spacious with luxurious ensuites and walk-in closets.
“Geranium has been building new neighbourhoods in Port Hope since 1999,” says Lane. “The town offers a different pace of life and the ideal combination of urban experiences within a rural setting, which is why more people are moving here.”
The Verandas is located just minutes from Port Hope’s historic downtown. New residents are attracted to its beautiful scenery, year-round festivals and events and abundant recreation. “Port Hope’s wide variety of outdoor pursuits, culture, dining and conveniences, offer a highly desirable lifestyle,” says Lane.

//COMMUNITY FOCUS
F or an unprecedented sixth time, Mattamy Homes was recently named BILD’s Home Builder of the Year – which is spectacular news for anyone
considering a move to the east, west or central GTA.Being named Home Builder of the Year recognizes the
excellence of a builder as voted on by the homeowners themselves. Among the topics considered are design and construction quality, customer commitment, professional development of staff, contribution to the community and contribution to the home building industry.
MATTAMY HOMEOWNERS RATED THEIR BUILDER HIGHEST
AT THE BUILDING INDUSTRY AND LAND DEVELOPMENT
ASSOCIATION (BILD) AWARDS
Impressively, Mattamy also received top standing in two other categories. Project of the Year, Lowrise, was awarded to The Preserve in Oakville. As well, Best New Home Design, Single, 2,500 to 4,000 Sq. Ft., went to The Snapdragon model in St. John’s Forest in Aurora.
Clearly, new buyers can expect similar levels of industry leading design, finish, and comprehensive customer service in the forthcoming communities. In Scarborough, Mattamy will soon open Heron Park and Upper Summerside. Cranberry

//TAXING ISSUES
Capital expenditures & deductible expenses» by HENRY CHOO CHONG
HENRY CHOO CHONG, CGA, sits on many
committees and provides accounting and tax
services to individuals and businesses in the GTA. He can be reached at
416.485.5225. Questions to Taxing Issues can
be emailed to [email protected]
Q. I recently purchased a rental investment property. Fortunately, the home was rented quickly. However,
last summer because of several days of heavy rainfall, the roof leaked terribly and our ceilings were partially water damaged. I had to reshingle and replace almost half of the entire roof and repair the ceiling and floors. It also cost me more than $1,200 for a new fridge and stove. I have an individual who prepares my income taxes who has advised me that these are capital items and I could not deduct them for my income taxes. I find that ridiculous to be out of pocket that amount of money and I cannot deduct it. Sam, Toronto
A. Real estate rental deductions are always contentious, and Canada Revenue Agency frowns on expenditures that
should be capitalized as opposed to being expensed immediately. As an accountant who deals with real estate investors on a regular basis, I can tell you your concern is not isolated. The Income Tax Act does provide guidance with regards to capital items and current expenses.
Capital expenditures – Generally, these are expenditures that will provide benefits and a useful life for several years – such as appliances, air conditioners and dishwashers. The Income Tax Act provides for Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) deduction for capital expenditures that can be expended over the useful life of the asset.
Deductible Expenses – Generally, these expenditures may be deducted in the year they are incurred. They would include all expenditures directly related to the property such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, mortgage interest, advertising cost, legal cost, accounting fees, and repairs and maintenance.
It would appear your repairs were performed to maintain the property to its original condition and would therefore be considered a current expense.
However, the fridge and stove must be capitalized.Investors should always have a good accountant who
deals with real estate investments on a regular basis to ensure the right advice is given.
Q. I recently started my own small business, which is
registered as a non-incorporated business. It earned approximately $34,000, less expenses. Additionally, I am employed full-time, as is my wife. What is my final date and can I choose my own year-end for my company? Yves, Oakville
A. Congrats on joining the ranks of entrepreneurs. Many individuals
talk about starting their own business but are reluctant to do so for various reasons. The primary obstacle is finances, followed by lack of knowledge about where to start.
Individuals who are strictly T4d – that is, employed full- or part-time – were to file their year’s personal tax return on or before April 30 of the following year. Self-employed (including non-incorporat-ed businesses) taxpayers and their spouse had to June 15 to file their tax return for the previous year. However, any income taxes owing would have to be remitted on or before April 30 of the filing year.
Therefore, you should have your tax returns prepared before the end of April to avoid any interest penalties.

Menkes hosts event to educate homeowners on Energy Star homes in Georgetown
In an ongoing commitment to Green home building, Menkes Developments Ltd. is building its Enclaves of Upper Canada community in Georgetown to Energy Star standards and, in many cases, exceeding these standards.
Menkes engaged a third-party company to perform tests on the homes and have been achieving an energy rating and testing results that are 20 per cent better than code (SB12-2012), something the company is very pleased about.
“We’re really proud to be building Energy Star homes,” says Steven Menkes, president of the lowrise residential division at Menkes. “The Energy Star label guarantees that when our homeowners make what may be the biggest purchases of their lives, they are not only buying homes that are both well-built and will save them money, but also decreasing their impact on the environment.”
Green features include R50 attic insulation, R31 sprayed in foam for garage ceilings, sealed ductwork joints, high efficiency HRV, drain water heat recovery systems and excel structural insulated sheathing, to name a few.
To familiarize homeowners with all the Green features of the company’s new homes, Menkes held an information session to explain their function and
answer any questions homeowners had. “We were very pleased to have had the opportunity to learn more about our new home and these features,” said one homeowner. “It’s one thing to see them written on paper, but it’s another thing to actually learn what they do and have the benefits explained in detail.”
The Enclaves of Upper Canada offers a wide selection of home designs. The elevations are inspired by Georgian architecture through the symmetry of windows and use of French architectural bell curve roof flares. Exterior materials combine stucco, stone and brick with a careful selection of colour palettes, creating a harmonious streetscape for the community.
The newly released 40-ft. Enclaves Collection of homes at The Enclaves come with an upscale array of standard features, including nine-ft. ceilings on the main floor, tray ceilings in the master bedroom, gourmet kitchens with extended height uppers and granite counters, natural gas fireplace with white painted mantle and marble surround, and oak staircases from the first to second floor with upgraded pickets.
Menkes is offering a spectacular opening bonus to its purchasers of the semi-link collection – three stainless steel kitchen appliances, white washer and dryer, and $5,000 in upgrades. Purchasers
of the 40-ft. Enclave Collection receive engineered hardwood on the main floor (excluding tiled areas) and upper hallways and $10,000 in upgrades. For details, please visit the sales office. Semi-link designs range from 1,590 to 1,878 sq. ft. and are priced from the high $400’s. The 40-ft. Enclaves Collection ranges from 2,496 to 3,525 sq. ft. and is priced from $749,990.
Visit the sales office located at 363 Guelph St., Georgetown right in front of the Best Western Hotel and just east of Canadian Tire. The Presentation Centre is open from to Monday through Thursday from 1 to 8 p.m., closed Fridays and open Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays and holidays from noon to 6 p.m.

Not every lawyer is a real estate lawyer
Not all lawyers are created equal. If you needed a heart surgeon, you certainly would not go to see a podiatrist. By the same token, lawyers generally have expertise in one area greater than another. Do not believe that the granting of a law degree instantly bestows knowledge of all laws on the head of a lawyer.
e � rst thing you need to do to � nd a lawyer is the same thing you ought to be doing to � nd a home – research! Where do you look? Start with media and look in magazines (editor’s note – you already have your issue of New Home Guide, so you’re o� to a good start!), newspapers, listen to radio, watch real estate television. Generally speaking, the lawyers who appear in public, speaking or writing about real estate, are thought to be experts in the area. Go to seminars and listen to the speakers. Generally, if a lawyer is taking the time to participate in a seminar, he/she knows what he/she is talking about and is happy to take on new clients that come out of those seminars.
Next, go online and check out the websites of di� erent real estate lawyers. Look to see whether they give good, informative advice; whether they give you pricing; and whether they make you feel comfortable.
Call the Law Society of Upper Canada, Lawyer Referral Service. is service keeps lists of lawyers and refers requesting members of the public to lawyers who practice in the area requested. is just gets you someone in the area. You really need to check them out when referred.
Speak to friends who have used a lawyer for the type of service you require and ensure they did the job professionally, courteously and for the price quoted.
Who is making the referral? Is the referral coming from a real estate agent, a mortgage broker or a bank? is is not necessarily bad, but you have to be careful. Quite often, lawyers develop relationships with various groups over the years and receive referrals because they do a great job. On the other hand, ensure that your lawyer is independent and will represent your interests even if it puts him/her into an adversarial position with one of those parties. is is quite important, so make sure you are comfortable with this issue before you hire someone.
Now to bring this back to the original idea, what you need to understand is that there are general law practitioners just like there are family doctors. What this means is that a lawyer may have a wide-ranging practice composed of many areas. e smart lawyer who falls into this category knows that if there is a serious issue that arises outside of their expertise they should bring in a specialist, just like your family doctor would. e bad lawyers try to do it all. e general practitioner can probably handle your real estate deal just � ne, but make sure he/she understands any complicated o� ers and that he/she reviews them carefully, pointing out any problems. Ensure that he/she knows what can be negotiated and what cannot, or you may lose your deal.
Remember, your lawyer is a very important part of the process, so take your time and � nd the right one.

Common concerns of new-home owners
It’s a fact that new homes and condos are not perfect. The home building process is the work of craftsmanship, where many tradespeople collaborate to bring your new home to life. This is why it isn’t uncommon for a new home to have some imperfections. While an imperfection in a new home is no cause for concern, a defect in construction is something your builder should repair.
All new homes in Ontario come with a warranty that lasts seven years from the date of the first possession, guaranteed by Tarion. The warranty was created to ensure homeowners receive a new home that is constructed in a workmanlike manner, is free from defects in material, is fit for habitation and is constructed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code.
Let’s have a look at the most common issues that homeowners are concerned about, and whether they are considered defects that fall within the new home warranty coverage.
FLOORINGOne of the most common concerns raised by homeowners is issues with flooring. Homeowners mention uneven finishes, visible gaps between boards, scratches, crowning or cupping (creating an uneven floor).
Hardwood floor problems can arise from defects in material or poor installation. Often, however, deficiencies can be traced back to moisture content. Builders can avoid such problems by acclimatizing the wood and ensuring that the subfloor is not wet before installation. Homeowners also need to do their part to ensure that hardwood flooring problems do not arise because of
excessive or insufficient humidity levels in the home. Maintaining a proper interior climate is essential to the health of your hardwood floor. If your new home includes hardwood flooring, I encourage you to speak to your builder and visit Tarion’s website to view our videos on how to control the moisture levels in your home.
If you notice any flooring deficiencies or damage during your Pre-Delivery Inspection (also known as the PDI), note them in the PDI Form. If deficiencies become apparent later, contact your builder as soon as possible. It is also a good idea to keep photographic records with date and time stamps if you start to see damage on your floors after you move into your new home.
INTERIOR FINISHINGNew-home owners commonly complain about paint – streaks and brush marks, poor quality paint, poor workmanship and drips and splatters. Generally, paint is covered under the one-year warranty. Where paint finish is specified, exposed surfaces are to be properly painted.
Doors are another common issue with new-home owners. The most common complaints include doors that are inadequately installed, sticking or improperly finished. Defects in doors and improper installations are covered under the one-year warranty.
MANAGING INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROLControlling a home’s moisture level is an essential part of keeping your new home healthy. Today’s energy-efficient homes are built tightly to seal out the cold weather in winter and keep in the air conditioning in summer. However, lack of proper ventilation or humidity control by the homeowner can lead to damage that would not be covered by the statutory warranty.
The good news is that as a homeowner, you can follow some simple steps to keep your interior climate healthy. At your PDI, it is a good idea to ask your builder how to maintain proper moisture levels in your home. As a general rule, the healthy range is 30 to 50 per cent. You can also visit Tarion’s website to view videos on how to control moisture, and tips on how to maintain your new home.
And remember, Tarion is always here to help. If you have any questions about your new home warranty visit tarion.com or call 1.877.9TARION.

//MORTGAGE ADVICE
» by ALYSSA RICHARD
It seems house prices in Canada’s hottest markets will never stop rising, raising the question of mortgage affordability. Consider that the average house price nationwide has risen from $331,000 in 2010 to almost $449,000 today, and the difference is even more pronounced in Toronto. Record-low mortgage rates have led to intense competition for homes, and bidding wars have become commonplace – espe-cially for the city’s limited supply of detached houses – that the average sale price in Toronto is now more than $635,000.
This is a stark contrast from 30 years ago. In 1985, house prices were significantly lower, while mortgage rates were in the double digits. Interest rates have fallen steadily since then, but it still seems homes are less affordable today than they were in that era. That’s partly because rising house prices have outpaced income growth. But monthly carrying costs, driven by interest rates, are also a factor.
We decided to do some digging to figure out exactly how much mortgage affordability has changed in Toronto over the last 30 years. Let’s start by comparing earnings. While the average family income in 1985 was $31,965,
today’s household brings in average of $74,366. At the same time, however, the average mortgage amount has increased well over five times, from $87,275 to $508,745.
Over the same period, mortgage rates have plummeted to record lows. While posted rates of 4.79 per cent are common today, five-year fixed rates as low as 2.48 per cent are attainable. Posted rates from 30 years ago averaging 13.25 per cent seem like a cruel joke by comparison. But even with such low rates, the total cost of carrying a home as a per cent of income is still much higher now than it was in 1985. Factoring in utilities and property taxes, monthly carrying costs (including monthly mortgage payments) are up 170 per cent – from an average of 48.16 per cent of total household income in 1985 to 57.91 per cent today.
Of course, these numbers represent the Toronto housing market as a whole. When we take a closer look at the affordability of detached houses and condos, we see two stories.
A recent RBC Economics study shows that for a standard two-storey house sold in Q4 2014, 65.6 per cent of gross household income went into mortgage, property tax and heating costs. Compare that with an average of 54.3 per cent since 1985. A standard condominium sold at the same time cost an average of 33.9 per cent of household income to carry, compared at an average of 31.2 per cent since 1985.
Predictably, the detached housing market is where the real gap in mortgage affordability lies. For Toronto’s condo owners, the cost of ownership has remained relatively steady.

CEO of RateHub.ca, a mortgage rate comparison site that aims to empower Canadians to make smart
financial decisions.
Mortgage affordability in Toronto: 1985 VERSUS TODAY
Posted rates from 30 years ago averaging 13.25 per cent seem like a cruel joke by comparison. But even with such low rates, the total cost of carrying a home as a per cent of income is still much higher now than it was in 1985.

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

Toe-kicks:KICK IT UP A NOTCH!
The humble toe-kick is an important design component that usually keeps a low profile, but that doesn’t mean it should go overlooked! Here are my top tips for harnessing the full potential of your cabinets’ toe-kicks, to provide functional storage and make a beautiful statement without taking up an inch of extra space.

STORAGE» Raising a cabinet off the ground by a few inches (usually three to four) is important for giving your feet space to tuck into when working at the counter, but this “kick” space under the cabinet can then be a wasted opportunity for storage. Upgrading to a toe-kick drawer takes this empty space and turns it into a shallow compartment perfect for storing baking sheets, pans, or other relatively flat items.» Other items perfect for storing in a toe-kick drawer: paperwork you need to save but not access often (such as appliance instructions and warranties), a folding stepladder, seasonal dishware, a bathroom scale, art supplies or hidden valuables.» Toe-kick spaces are also an excellent place to store pet food dishes: between meal times the food is stored away to curb overeating, and then simply rolls back out (in a perfect low-to-the-ground position) with minimal effort. Plus, the drawer will catch food spills, saving mess from hitting the floor.» For a seamless look, use a minimalist pull that sits on top of the drawer face which won’t be seen, but will be easy to grab.
Or, choose a drawer with a kick-to-open function that pops open with a push from your foot.
STYLE» You may not have much room to add furniture in your kitchen, but you can create a warm, furniture-inspired look from clean, modern cabinetry by redressing your toe-kicks. Adding legs (or decorative panels that simulate legs) to the base of your lower cabinets creates the look of a more traditional furniture style, for an overall “transitional” effect that feels contemporary but not minimalist.» To enhance this effect, try painting the backs of the toe-kicks a darker shade first, so that the inset recedes and appears much deeper. This also works with simple modern cabinets to emphasize the “floating” look, especially when contrasting black toe-kicks against white cabinetry for a twist on a timeless colour pairing.

» Mirror and stainless steel are other ways to visually deepen your toe-kick so the cabinets appear to float. Mirror will extend the look of a beautiful flooring material, while stainless steel will pick up on matching appliances while creating a subtle reflectiveness of its own, for a sleek modern detail.» Alternately, you can let your kickspace become a fun feature by painting it a bright, bold hue you would never use in a bigger area. Try a cool blue-green hue to complement warm wood floors, drawing the eye down and creating just the right amount of drama.
LIGHTING AND HEATING» A compact kitchen should always be well lit, both for practical use when prepping meals, and to keep the space feeling comfortable and open. Adding lighting strips or pucks under the toe-kick produces a modern, ethereal glow that balances light coming directly downward from pot lights, and creates a hip lounge vibe.» Choose remote-controlled colour-change LEDs, allowing you to add a little cool colour for cocktail hour, then set it back to white light for day-to-day use.» Looking to add additional built-in cabinets, or a banquet seat in your breakfast nook? Re-routing an in-the-way heat
vent to exit through a kick space in the base of the new unit allows heat to enter the room uninterrupted, while hiding the exhaust port for a cleaner look.
BATHROOMS» Toe-kicks can be multifunctional beyond the kitchen, too. In a bathroom, a toe-kick space can be used to store a roll out platform which acts as a step up for children (or other shorter users), allowing more comfortable access to the sink – perfect for condo spaces with one or few washrooms.» Some bathrooms come equipped with floating vanities, but this still provides a great opportunity for storage space. Baskets tucked underneath are a great spot to store additional toilet rolls or towels (so you know you’ll never run out), or a small stool which you can pull out when you want to rest a book or drink during a relaxing soak.» Adding a simple floating shelf under a wall-hung vanity is another way to increase storage, keeping items up off the potentially wet floor but instantly reachable when needed.» Like with kitchen cabinets, adding legs to the base of a floating cabinet is an easy way to customize the look, for a dressed up feel without replacing the unit.

Expose the phantom offers, ease the bidding wars
Across the GTA, it’s been a challenging few years for homebuyers in the face of skyrocketing prices, scarce listings, bidding wars and buyers’ fear of competing with phantom offers.
As of July 1, 2015, homebuyers and their agents will find the offer process more transparent than ever, as Bill 55, the Stronger Protection for Ontario Consumers Act, takes effect. Brokerages acting on behalf of sellers will be required to keep a copy of all written offers and each counter offer/sign-back for at least one year. The successful offer must still be kept for six years. As before, the seller’s broker can make buyers’ brokers aware only of written offers validated with the buyers’ signatures.
The GTA housing market has been so hot for so many years that bidding wars and multiple offers continue to make headlines while the market shows no sign of slowing. After committing months, and in some cases years, to the home hunt and repeatedly losing to the highest bidder, buyers are justifiably frustrated. Understandably, they may wonder how many competitive offers the seller’s agent actually received and how competitive they truly were.
“The Ontario government wanted to increase consumer confidence in the bidding process by improving transparency, and that is good for consumers,” says Joseph Richer, registrar, the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), responsible for regulating real estate professionals in the province, and administering and enforcing the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 on behalf of the Ontario government.
Richer notes that over the past few years there have been only a few complaints to RECO about phantom offers. “The new legislation provides a paper trail that will give consumers additional confidence that the information they are receiving is correct and provides RECO with additional tools to investigate complaints.”

80 NEW HOME GUIDE GTA | JUNE 27 - JULY 25, 2015 JUNE 27 - JULY 25, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE GTA 81
“This is a good starting point and certainly better than what we had before, because it proves there were valid offers, but to really benefit the homebuyer in a multiple-offer situation, prices and conditions also need to be disclosed at the time of the offer, much like an auction,” says Jamie Johnston, owner, broker of record, ReMax Condos Plus, Toronto.
The dollar-value of the various bids still remains confidential, but as of July 1, each offer summary must include the buyer’s name/signature, seller’s name and contact information, the time/date the offer was made, the time/date the offer was received, the date of the presentation of the offer, and more. While the buying agents have never seen and still won’t see the hard numbers on the offers, they can and do look at the selling prices of comparable neighbourhood homes to accurately determine a range.
“The new legislation provides a paper trail that will give consumers additional confidence that the information they are receiving is correct and provides RECO with additional tools to investigate complaints.”
“Most of our buyers are educated and knowledgeable – in fact, they know the prices as well or better than the agents, and are clear on what a particular home is worth to their families,” says Sandra Pate, broker, Royal LePage/Johnston & Daniel Division, who has been representing buyers and sellers in the GTA for 34 years. “Bill 55 sets out hard and fast rules as well as consequences, and as a salesperson, I now know exactly what [documentation] I have to keep and for how long.”
As of July 1, 2015, consumers and real estate professionals who placed an offer on a property can contact RECO to determine how many valid offers (written and signed) were received. RECO will contact the listing brokerage to confirm the number of offers received and may ask for supporting documentation for each offer. RECO will disclose only the number of offers received, but will not offer any details.
What are the consequences for non-compliance? A brokerage that fails to meet the new requirements can be prosecuted under the Provincial Offences Act, and if convicted, could face a maximum fine of $50,000 and/or a prison term of up to two years. Corporations could face fines of up to $250,000.

Calculate your mortgage payments
01 Determine the appropriate 5-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate, which is easiest to qualify for.
02 Run your finger down the left column of the table below to find the rate (round to the nearest 1/4%).
03 Choose your desired amortization period across the top of the table (25 years has lowest payment and is easiest to qualify for first-time buyers).
04At the intersection of the column and row is your mortgage payment per month per $100,000 borrowed.

AMORTIZATION PERIOD
Canadian mortgage payment factors Instructions:
» Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
