Important considerations

Attention, class

What are the critical things to consider

when choosing a location? There are

so many personal variables it’s really

up to you to decide.

As an example, if it is just as

important to you to be close to your

children’s school as it is to your

place of work, then look for a place

that o� ers you the best of both

worlds. If you own a car and want to

use public transportation whenever

possible to save on parking and gas

costs, a location close to mass-

transit may be a better option for

you. If you’re a walker, proximity

to major amenities should be a

defi nite consideration.

Running errands such as grocery

shopping and banking on foot a� ords

many health benefi ts and provides you

with a chance to meet your neighbours

and discover new places, too.

Make a list of your priorities fi rst,

then take the time to assess each

location for its merits and weigh

your options.

Let us know what those priorities

are. We’d love to hear from you!

For many Canadian families, fi nancial

literacy begins with a piggy bank,

maybe a childhood allowance and

perhaps a fi rst bank account.

Some may continue the education

with somewhat more serious lessons

– such as reviewing monthly bank

statements and explaining how

interest works.

Moving into the teen years, many

families likely entrust the more

important matters of personal fi nance

to our education system.

But there, we venture to say,

they might well be disappointed.

David Chilton lamented that fact

more than 25 years ago in his best-

seller, The Wealthy Barber. How

much has changed and how well

have things improved?

Based on a number of

considerations, not so much. And as

our story on page 58 discusses, when

it comes to real estate in 2016, the

lessons are more important than ever.

Indeed, our real estate has been

a top performer for years, but the

resulting costs of living for millennials

and other young Canadians are

skyrocketing, in some cases,

prohibitively high.

More and more organizations –

from governments to banks and

even to investment fi rms – see the

need and are o� ering programs for

fi nanicial literacy for youth.

THE FRASER INSTITUTE has published

its annual Alberta elementary school

rankings, showing how schools have

performed academically and which

schools across the province have

improved or fallen behind.

The Report Card on Alberta’s

Elementary Schools 2016 ranks 812

public, separate, francophone, private

and charter schools based on seven

academic indicators derived from

province-wide test results.

“Our report card is the only

Cowley, Fraser Institute director of

The data from the 2016 report card

suggests that every school is capable

of improvement regardless of the

type of school, its location and the

proportion of students with special

needs or students in English as a

Second Language (ESL) programs.

For example, one of the fastest

improving schools in the province in

2015 – based on analysis of its results

during the most recent fi ve years – is

St. Catherine Catholic Elementary/

Junior High School, a separate school

located in Edmonton. Despite having

two-thirds of its students identifi ed

as ESL learners, St. Catherine’s overall

rating has steadily improved to 6.6 (out

of 10) in 2015 from just 1.7 in 2011.

Another school Keeler, a public

school in Calgary, also recorded a

signifi cant jump in its ratings since

2011. With 27 per cent of its students

having special needs and 37 per

cent of its students identifi ed as ESL

learners, the school earned a score of

4.0 in 2015 compared to 0.0 in 2011.

Of the 10 fastest improving schools,

Recreational lake front property has long been exclusively thought of as a summer treat. From that first warm weekend at the end of May, residents of cottage country do their best to squeeze in as much time at the lake before the leaves and snow fall.

There is, however, a new development in Alberta that offers the exclusive benefits of lakeside living year-round. Whether prospective buyers are looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, The Estates at Waters Edge offers unique, single-family homes to accommodate a range of budgets and lifestyles.

This secure, gated development is situated 45 minutes west of Edmonton on the shore of Lac St. Anne. As a perennial community equipped with resort-style amenities, residents enjoy the beauty that every season has to offer. Summer activities include water sports, fishing, walking, biking, or golfing at a nearby course. New for 2016 is the addition of a heated pool! A fully equipped fitness building is now up and running for residents to use and enjoy. Winter brings its own selection of outdoor ac-tivities, including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. For skating and hockey enthusiasts, there is an outdoor NHL-sized ice rink, complete with a skate change and warm-up

facility. Access to a private boat launch and a maintained marina allows for carefree boating enjoyment. For social gatherings, a club-house, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accom-modate gatherings both small and large.

Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Archi-tecture Team to keep turn-around time to a minimum. Most home builders charge a fee for any changes to their plans, however, this service is complementary for buyers who choose to build with Waters Edge. Owners can also choose to purchase an undeveloped lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guidelines.

Waters Edge homes have been designed in a timeless Craftsman-style and are available in an array of two to four bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,150 to 2,500+ sq.ft.. Layouts and room sizes are completely customizable to ensure that each plan meets the buyer’s needs. Yards are fully landscaped and can include a choice of parking pad, attached or detached garage. A variety of high-quality interior finishing packages are also available and owners can rest easy knowing that their residence comes with a 10-year Progressive Home Warranty to ensure the highest home construction quality.

Lot prices start in the low $100,000’s, and two bedroom residences with completely landscaped lots start in the low $300,000’s.

Two brand new showhomes are now open and available for immediate possession. Contact Mike at 780-405-6378 or 1-877-405-1105 or visit watersedgeestates.ca for more information.

Trend alert…shiplapWRITTEN BY: C. MARIE HEBSON

Shiplap is a wooden board that’s

often used for constructing sheds,

barns, and other rustic buildings.

Traditional shiplap has a rabbet

(or groove) cut into the top and

bottom, which allows the pieces

to fit together snugly, forming a

tight seal. This also gives shiplap

its distinctive appearance, with

horizontal lines/reveals between

each board. In the past it was more

commonly installed on the vertical,

today it is more commonly installed

on the horizontal.

Lately shiplap has become a

popular choice for interior finishes,

thanks to its rustic charm and

subtle texture. Whether you choose

to use real shiplap or fake the look

by applying MDF boards to your

drywall it’s a great way to add

texture to your home. As you can

see from the varying degrees of

distressing and antiquing, it is up to

you to create your perfect ship lap

feature wall.

From the country to the beach, modern contemporary to traditional - shiplap is the building material everyone’s talking about. But what exactly, is shiplap?

Shown here are a compilation of images and items found online to

compose Marie’s article. Should you want information on any of these

products, don’t hesitate to contact our design studio.

THERE’S ALWAYS NEWS ABOUT THE

HOUSING SECTOR because it’s such a

big part of the economy and homes

are central to our quality of life. Here’s

a selection of the newest research

and analysis.

First-time buyers

Buying a home is a rewarding but

demanding process – especially for

those entering the market for the fi rst

time. A new survey by the Canada

Mortgage and Housing Corp. sheds

lights on the experience of fi rst-time

buyers.

Younger buyers use social media

when hunting for a home much more

than those over 35. Facebook is the

top source. While Facebook friends

are important, family still comes

fi rst. Almost 40 per cent of fi rst-time

buyers said family members had the

most infl uence on their decision.

Family and friends likely hear a lot

about the top concern of fi rst-time

buyers – unexpected expenses. That’s

a legitimate worry because almost 40

per cent were faced with immediate

repair bills. One way to eliminate this

concern is to opt for a new home

where a 10-year warranty provides a

lot of peace of mind.

Following the trends

Housing markets are closely

connected to population trends.

Edmonton’s market boomed over that

last few years when lots of people

were headed to the Capital region

looking for jobs.

has reduced the fl ow of Canadians

moving here, but that’s not the

only factor in population growth.

Immigrants from other countries are

boosting Alberta’s population. That’s

helped by a baby boom in young

Albertan families. As a result, Alberta

remains the country’s fastest growing

province.

That may help to explain why there

has been little change in homes

prices or much relief from high rental

rates. For example, Edmonton MLS

prices are down just 0.5 per cent

in the last year. Rental rates in the

city are down just 0.3 per cent even

though they soared more than 40 per

cent during the boom years.

New home market

Construction of new single- and multi-

family homes has declined from the

sky-high levels we saw last year, but

there are still a lot of singles, couples

and families who see an opportunity to

enter the housing market for the fi rst

time or move to something that better

meets their needs.

During the fi rst fi ve months of

2016, construction started on more

than 4,000 single- and multi-family

homes. That doesn’t get much

media attention, compared to the

31 garage suite permits granted in

Edmonton during all of 2015. Yet it’s

an important employment boost and

signal of confi dence in the long-term

prospects for the economy.

A new report from ATB Financial

says construction levels are actually

now on par with the Canadian

average after periods when we were

doubling the national pace.

Edmonton is now the fourth

busiest new home market in Canada,

trailing only the much larger cities of

Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal,

and has more homes under

construction than the combined total

of Ottawa and Winnipeg.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents over 1,600 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

surrounded by nature but still

connected to all areas of the city,

thanks to the Anthony Henday, 184

in St Albert in 10 minutes.”

Homeowners also enjoy all the

lifestyle amenities of the area

shopping, schools, entertainment

and professional services nearby,

including many golf courses,

recreation centres and parks.

duplexes, single attached-garage

homes and estate homes in the

community. With numerous

lots backing onto greenspace,

Trumpeter blends seamlessly into

its surrounding environment with

Horseshoe Lake, Big Lake and the

PURCHASING A HOME will be one of

the biggest investments you’ll ever

make. If you’re just starting to look,

there are a few steps you’ll need to

take before you can buy a home.

Determine how much you can a� ord

First, you have to determine what you

can a� ord. Your a� ordability is based

on your household income, your

current monthly debt payments and

the costs associated with owning a

home (such as property taxes, heating

costs, and condo fees).

A lender will also look at two

ratios to fi gure out how large your

mortgage can be. The fi rst is called

the gross debt service ratio. Your

monthly housing costs for (principal

and interest, taxes, and heating costs)

shouldn’t be more than 32 per cent

of your gross income. The second

is called the total debt service ratio,

which includes your housing costs

as well as any loan expenses (such

as credit card and line of credit

payments, and car loans or leases).

This ratio shouldn’t be higher than 40

per cent of your gross income.

You also have to come up with

enough money to make a down

payment. You’ll need to have a

minimum of fi ve per cent. If you’re

able to come up with a down

payment of 20 per cent or more, you

won’t need mortgage loan insurance.

And you should also have money

saved for closing costs, which could

be between 1.5 and four per cent of

the purchase price of your property.

First-time homebuyers 3 steps required to get into the market

Dip into savings

Once you’ve determined how much

you’ll need, you’ll have to fi nd a

source for your down payment and

closing costs, one of which can be

your RRSP.

Under the Home Buyers’ Plan,

you can withdraw up to $25,000

from your RRSP on a tax-free basis

as long as the funds have been

in the plan for more than 90 days.

If you’re purchasing a property

with a partner who’s also a fi rst-

time buyer, you’ll each be able with

withdraw $25,000.

Keep in mind that the money

has to be paid back starting the

second year after you make the

withdrawal and you have up to

15 years to repay the amount. If

you don’t make an annual payment,

you’ll have to declare it as taxable

income on your tax return for

that year.

If your RRSPs or other savings

aren’t enough, your family may

be able to help you. In fact, an April

2015 BMO survey found 42 per cent

of fi rst-time buyers expect their

parents or relatives to help pay for

their fi rst home.

Shop for a mortgage

It can pay to shop around. If you

and your partner go with the

fi rst mortgage rate you fi nd, you

could end up paying a lot more.

Let’s assume the following: you

plan on buying a $500,000 home

with a $400,000 mortgage, your

amortization period will be 25 years,

and you have a fi ve-year fi xed rate

of 3.5 per cent. That means your

total mortgage payment will be

$1,997 a month.

But if you do a little research, you

could save some money. If you’re

able to get a mortgage with a fi ve-

year fi xed rate of 2.5 per cent, your

payments will be $1,792, a di� erence

of $205 a month or $2,460 a year.

That’s why you should look for the

best mortgage rates.

You need to be ready fi nancially

before you’re able to purchase a

property. Knowing what steps are

involved to become a fi rst-time

homebuyer will allow you to start

your search for buying a home.

as long as the funds have been

in the plan for more than 90 days.

If you’re purchasing a property

with a partner who’s also a fi rst-

time buyer, you’ll each be able with

withdraw $25,000.

Keep in mind that the money

has to be paid back starting the

second year after you make the

withdrawal and you have up to

15 years to repay the amount. If

you don’t make an annual payment,

you’ll have to declare it as taxable

income on your tax return for

that year.

If your RRSPs or other savings

aren’t enough, your family may

be able to help you. In fact, an April

2015 BMO survey found 42 per cent

of fi rst-time buyers expect their

parents or relatives to help pay for

their fi rst home.

Shop for a mortgage

It can pay to shop around. If you

and your partner go with the

fi rst mortgage rate you fi nd, you

could end up paying a lot more.

Let’s assume the following: you

plan on buying a $500,000 home

with a $400,000 mortgage, your

amortization period will be 25 years,

and you have a fi ve-year fi xed rate

of 3.5 per cent. That means your

total mortgage payment will be

$1,997 a month.

But if you do a little research, you

could save some money. If you’re

able to get a mortgage with a fi ve-

year fi xed rate of 2.5 per cent, your

payments will be $1,792, a di� erence

of $205 a month or $2,460 a year.

That’s why you should look for the

best mortgage rates.

You need to be ready fi nancially

before you’re able to purchase a

property. Knowing what steps are

involved to become a fi rst-time

homebuyer will allow you to start

your search for buying a home.

community.

Granville has been expertly

that allow residents to enjoy life

within their neighbourhood. At more

than 305 acres, this community offers

inviting greenspaces and walking

trails where residents can enjoy

an environment that encourages

an active lifestyle. Other Granville

features include two picturesque

water features and a charming bridge

that adds plenty of character to the

neighbourhood. Young families with

children will benefit from having a

new K-9 school opening in Granville

in 2017, with three other K-9 schools

located within minutes, offering

residents a variety of educational

options to choose from.

Three commercial areas are

Medi-Centre, West Granville Centre,

conveniently located adjacent

What to dowhen you hirea contractor

Many experiencedand reliablecontractors workin your community –highly skilledprofessionals whodo business theright way.

Unfortunately not all contractors play by the same rules. Some cut

corners to offer lower prices. They promise you a “good deal” as long as

nothing is written down and you pay in cash.

These cash deals can mean a lot of risk for you. Contractors who don’t do business properly don’t protect you from accidents or their mistakes. If there is a work-related injury or damage to your home, you could face lawsuits and financial loss. You could be responsible for your contractor’s unpaid bills. And you could be stuck with work that is incomplete or badly done.

While serious, these risks are easy to avoid. Before you agree to let anyone work on your home, take these three simple steps: know who you’re dealing with, make sure you’re protected from risks, and always Get in in Writing! ™

For more advice, including detailed information aboutcontracts plus worksheets you can use when

interviewing contractors, visit HiringAContractor.com

For a listing of builder and renovator members, contact the Canadian Home Builder’s Association - Edmonton Region. Call

780-425-1020 or visit their website at chbaedmonton.ca

Get it in Writing! provides information to help you make informed choices when you build, renovate, or repair your home. This program is managed by

the Canadian Home Builders’ Associationwith support from the Government of Canada.

How to finda good contractor

• Ask friends, family and neighbors about contractors they have hired to work on their homes.

• Contact your local Home Builders’ Association or other trade association for a list of professional contractors in your community.

• Ask your local building materials store if it has a list of recommended contractors.

• Ask your utility company if it has a list of recommended contractors.

• Check with your local Better Business Bureau to find out if a contractor is a member.

COLONIALE ESTATES A Special Place to Create Holiday Memories

Remember when kids used to gather, even on the coldest, snowiest of days to wax the toboggan and head for the hills? Or as soon as it was finished snowing you’d all be out there building snowmen or making snow forts? And the family gatherings over the holidays always involved more food in one night than you’d normally eat in a week? And there was an all-day pick-up game going on over at the rink.

All of those warm memories were inspirations for life in Coloniale Estates.

Mattamy offers Detached Single Family Homes with 2-Car or 3-Car Tandem Garages. Homes range in size from 1,480 Sq. Ft. to 2,681 Sq. Ft. Homes have a variety of exterior styles and thoughtfully designed interiors based on family needs and lifestyles.

COLONIALE ESTATES A Special Place to Create Holiday Memories

Remember when kids used to gather, even on the coldest, snowiest of days to wax the toboggan and head for the hills? Or as soon as it was finished snowing you’d all be out there building snowmen or making snow forts? And the family gatherings over the holidays always involved more food in one night than you’d normally eat in a week? And there was an all-day pick-up game going on over at the rink.

All of those warm memories were inspirations for life in Coloniale Estates.

Mattamy offers Detached Single Family Homes with 2-Car or 3-Car Tandem Garages. Homes range in size from 1,480 Sq. Ft. to 2,681 Sq. Ft. Homes have a variety of exterior styles and thoughtfully designed interiors based on family needs and lifestyles.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

WHEN BUYING A HOME, you will

likely consult with a team of trusted

professionals — a mortgage broker,

a lawyer, perhaps a realtor or builder

sales associate and maybe a home

inspector. Then, assuming you move

ahead with your purchase, eventually

you will likely need a mover.

People often don’t consider a

mover as an important member

of their team of professionals.

However, given the critical role they

perform — taking possession, at least

temporarily, of all your worldly goods

and moving them without loss or

damage — it’s a function not to be

taken for granted. Not doing your

due diligence and taking the time to

select a reputable mover can invite

untold problems.

Case in point: the following

example, which admittedly doesn’t

involve a new-condo move, but the

experience is all too common. So is

the lesson learned — unfortunately,

the hard way.

I recently contracted a

“professional” moving company to

carry out a last minute move of fi ve

pieces of furniture on behalf of my

son, a university student. For a variety

of reasons, we decided to hire movers

rather than rent a truck.

After calling several fi rms — including

large, well-known companies and

smaller, independent ones — I selected

a moving company in Whitby, Ont.,

where the pick-up was to take place.

Drop-o� would be in Waterloo, Ont.

We agreed on price ($350) and time

How to avoid your own moving horror story

By Wayne Karl


(9 a.m.) — after I was very clear the

move would involve an out-of-town

destination. All details were confi rmed

in a “contract” exchanged via email.

The crew was on time for the

move the next morning, but almost

immediately began talking about

a higher rate — $360. Not a huge

di� erence, but it immediately raised

my suspicions.

I’ll spare you all the gory details, but

it’s important to share the lowlights of

what happened next:

» The company I originally

contracted the job to the night

before was inexplicably unavailable

to actually do the move the next

morning, and apparently passed it

o� to another fi rm.

» My original contact, who was easily

available on cell phone repeatedly

the night before, suddenly was

nowhere to be found.

» Once the truck was loaded, the fee

increased to $450.

» Upon arrival in Waterloo, the

movers said the fee was $500. “It’s

taking longer than we thought, and

the furniture is heavier.”

» “Sure,” I said, “right after I call

the police.”

With that, the sordid tale ended.

The job not complete, left for us to

move the furniture indoors, now the

victims of one of the top 10 scams

monitored by the Better Business

Bureau (BBB).

“I could write a thesis on this,”

John Levi, president of the Canadian

Association of Movers (CAM) told me.

CAM o� ers consumers the

following tips on how to avoid being

scammed by unscrupulous movers:

» Find reputable movers through the

CAM, BBB or provincial government

consumer protection agencies

» Ask three movers for estimates in

writing

» Get the terms and conditions in

writing

» Ensure your goods will be

protected for loss or damage

» Read customer reviews on movers’

websites and other forums

“Consumers have recourse

with their provincial government’s

consumer a� airs department and

with the Better Business Bureau,”

says Levi. “Both of these avenues are

fraught with di� culties and often

take many months to come to some

form of resolution — satisfactory

or otherwise. And often, the mover

simply out-waits the consumer.

“It’s far simpler and more e� ective

to engage a reputable mover in

advance rather than trying to fi x a bad

situation after the fact.”

My example, though painful and

infuriating, is minor compared to other

common horror stories involving

similarly unsuspecting clients.

Make sure you take the proper steps

— and the time — to protect yourself.

Mid-2016 Housing Review: Benchmark of Major Canadian Markets

Intelligence House has compiled a summary of key housing market indicators and drivers for major Canadian markets year-to-date in 2016. In the Calgary and Edmonton regions, home sales and new housing starts are notably down, with prices in the Edmonton region decreasing marginally. The negative performance of both housing markets reflects many expectations put forth at the beginning of 2016, particularly in regards to the strong declines in new housing starts. That is, however, a necessary step to bring supply levels in line

with current demands in order to relieve any downward price pressure that currently exists in these markets. That said, strong labour market performance in the Edmonton region, coupled with impressive growth in its labour force, generally indicates forthcoming demand for housing ownership. Should these trends persist in the region throughout the year, it is reasonable to expect housing starts within the Edmonton region to return toward growing levels faster than in Calgary.

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.

Move over paint, WALLPAPER is here to stay

LEFT

In this powder room, we went with a strong wallpaper from Graham and Brown (grahambrown.com), that features large horizontal lines to create visual contrast.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO lived

as adults through the 1980s, you

may view wallpaper as a thing of

the past. But, if you are buying a

new home, or are faced with the

challenge of decorating a new

space, wallpaper may be front of

mind. Wallpaper is coming back,

but not in the way you may think.

It has been reinvented and has

become trendier than ever.

As we said goodbye to balloon

curtains, high hair and neon

colours, we thought wallpaper was

on that list as well. It turns out,

wallpaper manufacturers very savvy

marketers, and their efforts are

reflected in today’s interior design.

Wallpaper has moved past

chicken boarders in the kitchen,

large and bold floral patterns, or

entire rooms covered in the same

look. We are seeing wallpaper used

in new and exciting ways. There is

now textured paintable wallpaper,

wallpaper for focal walls, or fun

designs that can be used in small

spaces.

The powder room is the best

place to have fun and experiment

with colour, texture and new

designs. It is a place where you can

shut the door and walk away, but

your guests will love your efforts.

June 30 is the busiest moving day of the year. If you’re planning to move on that day, it is time to book your mover now.

Two Men and a Truck - Canada has created guidelines to help customers make any moving day as stress-free as possible.

One approach that works well is to empty a closet a couple weeks before the move and place items you know you will need on moving day into that space. It’s great to leave your current place looking good, so cleaning supplies are a must, and you don’t want to be hunting around for them. You’ll want a broom, dustpan, mop, your vacuum, some sort of all-purpose cleaner and cleaning rags and towels. Put cleaning items and towels in a large bucket or plastic bin with a lid to keep them separate from your other stuff.

In your new place, have toilet tissue ready for each bathroom, along with hand soap and towels. Remember easy-to-serve snacks, water bottles, a first-aid kit, facial tissues and toys such as colouring books and crayons for the little ones.

Basic kitchen items will be handy too, such as dish

detergent, a sponge, plastic garbage bags, paper towels, paper plates and cups, a kettle and maybe a cooler. Remember a note pad, pen, scissors and pertinent phone numbers you may need, such as utilities companies (for both ends of the move), family members, real estate agent, lawyer and cable company. You’ll also need basic tools.

Think about the first 24 hours in your new place. You’ll need linens, soap, alarm clock, a change of clothes, phone chargers, important papers and money.

Be sure that your survival items are packed into the moving van last or transported in your vehicle with you. When you arrive, you’ll be fully prepared to begin life in your new home.

One of our favourite powder rooms

was done in all-black wallpaper

with trendy light and bathroom

fi xtures. Because powder rooms are

on the smaller side, going with a

dramatic colour or pattern is not too

overwhelming.

Creating a focal wall is another area

when we use wallpaper a lot. Again,

we are seeing things in wallpaper we

have never seen before. There are large

shapes and patterns that can be applied

to the wall individually. Also, the focal

wall doesn’t have to be a full wall, it can

be a section or maybe it is a design that

carries over slightly to the adjacent wall.

Anther trend in wallpaper is the

introduction of metallics. Gold has

been huge for the last couple of

seasons and this has also been evident

in wallpaper. There are endless

examples from neutral wallpaper

peppered with gold geometric shapes

to black wallpaper with large gold

fans. And, since wallpaper is no longer

themed, these can be used in just

about any room in the house!

Faced with the task of decorating

a completely new space, sometimes

it pays off to take risks and think

outside of the box. Using wallpaper

lets you do both. Not only have there

been advancements in the wallpaper

patterns, but also in the product

itself. Most companies have pre-

pasted wallpaper that lasts longer

and is more durable. A nice added

bonus is the grid on the back that

a lot of companies as using. This

allows the homeowner to ensure

straight cuts when lining up to an

edge or matching the pattern on

the next sheet. If you are unsure of

your abilities, you can always hire a

professional to hang it as well.

However you decide to decorate

your new space, just make sure it

is something that you love and that

speaks to you, after all, you have to

live in it.

IT’S JUNE AND SCHOOL will soon be

out for the summer. What better time

to teach your kids about real estate?

Why? There’s actually more than

500,000 reasons to do so. The

number is really 508,097 – as in

dollars, the average price of a home

in Canada as of April 2016, according

to the Canadian Real Estate

Association (CREA). This represents

a 13.1-per-cent year-over-year

price gain.

Need another reason? How

about 45 – as in the percentage of

millennials, in a survey conducted by

New Home Guide, who don’t believe

they will be able to buy a home in

Canada within the next fi ve years.

Just 25 per cent per cent believe

they will be able to buy a home in the

next fi ve years, while 25 per cent say

“with a lot of help, maybe.”

Not exactly the most encouraging

stats.

Need more, still? A new poll by

CIBC reveals 63 per cent of millennial

respondents plan to buy a home in

the next fi ve years – but almost half

of them have not even begun to save.

Faced with a myriad of fi nancial

challenges, 54 per cent of future

millennial buyers say coming up with

the required down payment is the

biggest obstacle to homeownership,

the CIBC poll says. About half

are concerned that job security

(53 per cent) and rising real estate

prices (46 per cent) will impact

their ability to buy.

Given such realities, teaching

young Canadians fi nancial literacy

at an earlier age is increasingly

important.

property courses in our schools.

Some organizations, such as

the Financial Consumer Agency of

Canada, major Canadian banks and

even investor groups, are taking such

matters into their own hands, with

programs for fi nancial literacy

for youth.

The CIBC poll underlines how

strong the need is.

“Millennials want to own, and many

plan to do so in the next few years,

but they’re facing many obstacles

and competing fi nancial priorities,”

says Barry Gollom, vice-president,

mortgages and lending, CIBC. “It’s

important that they sit down with an

advisor and map out a realistic time

frame for making their dreams of

homeownership a reality – it’s not

easy, but it’s attainable.”

Another CIBC poll fi nds Canadians

are sympathetic to millennials’

struggles for homebuying. The

majority (56 per cent) say something

should be done to help the younger

generation enter the housing market.

Three-quarters (77 per cent) believe

buying a home is more di� cult for

young Canadians today than it was

for previous generations.

“It’s not just young Canadians that

feel that buying and maintaining

a home is a challenge for their

generation,” adds Gollom. “Canadians

across the board regardless of age

agree and a majority are calling

out that something should be done

to help.”

Because… those fi ve years that

millennials believe they need to save

up for a down payment? If things

continue as they are, prices could

be further out of reach. In 2012, the

average Canadian price was $363,606

– representing 39.7-per-cent gain to

the current $508,0907. At that rate,

in fi ve years, the average would be

about $709,811.

Mind you, the national average

price is skewed by activity in Toronto

and Vancouver. Take these two

markets out of the equation, the

average is a more modest $369,222

and year-over-year price growth

8.7 per cent, CREA says. There are

markets in Canada that are more

friendly to millennials.

Need another reason to teach your

kids about real estate sooner than

later? Here’s 150,000 – the Canadian

average price back in 1992.

homeownership a reality – it’s not

easy, but it’s attainable.”

Another CIBC poll fi nds Canadians

are sympathetic to millennials’

struggles for homebuying. The

majority (56 per cent) say something

should be done to help the younger

generation enter the housing market.

Three-quarters (77 per cent) believe

buying a home is more di� cult for

young Canadians today than it was

for previous generations.

“It’s not just young Canadians that

feel that buying and maintaining

a home is a challenge for their

generation,” adds Gollom. “Canadians

across the board regardless of age

agree and a majority are calling

out that something should be done

to help.”

Because… those fi ve years that

millennials believe they need to save

up for a down payment? If things

continue as they are, prices could

be further out of reach. In 2012, the

average Canadian price was $363,606

– representing 39.7-per-cent gain to

the current $508,0907. At that rate,

in fi ve years, the average would be

about $709,811.

Mind you, the national average

price is skewed by activity in Toronto

and Vancouver. Take these two

markets out of the equation, the

average is a more modest $369,222

and year-over-year price growth

8.7 per cent, CREA says. There are

markets in Canada that are more

friendly to millennials.

Need another reason to teach your

kids about real estate sooner than

later? Here’s 150,000 – the Canadian

average price back in 1992.

homes that meet a wide variety of

lifestyle needs.

Complementing the high-

performance craftsmanship of

the homes in this community, the

amenities and landscaping in the

Riverside will also feature sustainable

elements of their own. Jonathan

Lay, development manager for

Riverside, says the community will

pave the way for sustainable design

with plans to incorporate LEED™

certification into home building

plans. “All of the builders in Riverside

have agreed to target a LEED™

Canada-For Homes rating. LEED™

at this scale has never been done in

Canada before. This will really set a

new standard for consumers to have

access to affordable, healthier, high-

performance homes.”

One of Riverside’s key highlights

is the vast amount public open

space that will be preserved in the

neighbourhood. The community

boasts an amazing 33 per cent of

land that is dedicated to parklands

and reserves. This includes the Red

Willow Trail extension along the

Sturgeon River and the Grey Nuns’

White Spruce Forest, which is a rare

old-growth spruce forest that has

been preserved in the community.

“Large wetlands where native plant

communities are being re-established

to restore natural prairie habitats, a

large school site and neighbourhood

parks will also be present throughout

the community,” Jonathan says. “The

trail system in Riverside will connect

with the city’s extensive existing trail

network, providing connectivity to the

rest of St. Albert.” Nearby dog parks,

baseball fields, soccer pitches and

provincial parks are perfect for young

homebuyers who are looking for a

peaceful place to build roots that is

also close to retail conveniences and

amenities for the whole family.

Four showhomes are now open

for homebuyers to explore! For

a limited time, take advantage of

Riverside’s landscaping promotion –

visit the showhomes for full details.

Showhomes are located at 12

Riverside Dr. and Mckenney Ave., and

are open Monday through Thursday,

from 3 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Sunday

and holidays from noon to 5 p.m.
