Easier to fi ndWe realize that there are many
di� erent ways to search out that next
home. That’s why we’ve made it our
priority to make that home easier for
you to fi nd.
While price and size are always a
big part of the equation, location is
the factor that will a� ect you most.
Whether you want to be closer to
work, closer to amenities that matter
to your lifestyle, closer to the city —
or farther from it — the challenge is
to fi nd a home search tool that will
give you all of those answers. That’s
precisely why we’ve developed maps
with extensive neighbourhood data
on YPNextHome.ca.
These maps make it easy to
fi nd not just a home but also fi nd
out what is within the area, with
stats about the community and its
residents. YPNextHome.ca o� ers
neighbourhood profi les as well as
guided tours by our team of experts
— and this is connected to the maps
so that there’s no secondary search.
We’ve made it easy for you to
familiarize yourself with a community
and fi nd out detailed insights, from
the area hotspots and accessibility, to
its proximity to the city centre.
We hope you fi nd this experience
helpful. Let us know, we’d love to
hear from you!
Some think this is a great time of year
to move, others try to avoid it. I think
it doesn’t matter the date, the weather
or the season — when it’s time to
move you need to start looking.
Living in the right place adds
satisfaction to your life. Why wait
and endure issues when you can
be moving onto something that will
better suit your needs?
Right now, interest rates are low,
and the new down payment rules
haven’t yet come into e� ect, so
it’s prime time to buy. Exercise this
opportunity and get yourself into a
home that works for you — budget,
size, location, style and community.
Read more about this and other great
advice and market insight in this issue,
plus more on YPNextHome.ca. Visit
our website, search our YPNextHome
app and get ready to make your
move!

Housing a� ordability is an important issue for many and for the building industry
Advice | 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. He can be found on
Twitter (twitter.com/bildgta), Facebook (facebook.com/bildgta) and BILD’s o� cial online blog (bildblogs.ca).
THE AFFORDABILITY OF housing
in the Greater Toronto Area is an
important issue. It is one that most
GTA residents watch with interest,
and it is one that has them worrying
about what the future will hold for
them and for their children.
According to a recent poll that we
conducted with Ipsos, 70 per cent of
GTA residents are concerned about
their ability to a� ord to buy their
next home. The poll of 1,500 GTA
residents was taken in late August.
More than one third of the people,
some 39 per cent said they were very
concerned, while 31 per cent said they
were somewhat concerned about the
a� ordability of their next home.
We also asked people if they were
concerned about their children’s
ability to buy a home when it comes
time to buy.
Of those who have either adult
children or children under 17, more
than three-quarters, some 78 per
cent, said they are concerned that
their kids will face challenges with
a� ordability when it is time for them
to purchase a home. Almost half, 46
per cent, said they are very concerned
about their children’s ability to
purchase a home.
A� ordability is also a major issue
for the industry and one that we are
passionate about. We are in the new
home building and selling business,
and we need people to be able to
a� ord to buy our products.
As an industry, we continue to
innovate and provide consumers
with new housing choices that are
a� ordable. Ground related developers
have been and will continue to build
many di� erent types of townhomes
as well as semis and detached homes.
Developers building condominiums
in the GTA will keep fi nding creative
ways to maximize living space and
reduce the suite size to make them
more a� ordable for new-home
buyers. But innovation alone will not
address the challenge of a� ordability.
Our housing market in the GTA is
dynamic and it is complicated. Like all
markets it is subject to the economic
laws of supply and demand, but to
complicate matters it is also impacted
greatly by governments at all levels.
Things such as land use, housing
and fi scal policies; government
taxes/fees/charges; outdated zoning
by-laws and approval processes;
and lack of land that is serviced
with infrastructure and ready for
development are key factors in the
challenge of a� ordability.
Government fees and taxes
amount to an average of one-fi fth
the cost of a new home in the
GTA. A large part of those fees are
development charges. Since 2004
development charges in the GTA
have increased between 143 and
357 per cent.
Another issue that adds to the cost of
building housing is outdated municipal
by-laws. Many GTA municipalities are
operating under outdated by-laws
which can result in project timeline
delays and unnecessary expenses for
new home buyers.
Increased pushback or NIMBYism
from neighbourhoods and residents
who don’t understand intensifi cation
policies can lead to disputes and
delays that often lead to increased
costs for new homebuyers as well.
To tackle the issue of housing
a� ordability all those involved need
to be engaged in fi nding creative
solutions.

RECENTLY, THE NEW Finance Minister Bill Morneau
announced a signifi cant change to the mortgage rules
in Canada for property buyers.
If you skip to the end of this article you can see more
details into what the rule is exactly and how it breaks
down, but if you are reading this you are probably a
condo investor wondering how this will a� ect you.
DEMAND FOR CONDOS JUST GOT A SHOT IN THE ARM
What the government is e� ectively doing is artifi cially
increasing demand for properties under $500K (i.e.
condos) and decreasing demand for properties over
$500K (i.e. houses).
I’ve been arguing for the last two years that the soaring
house prices of the GTA will spill over into the condo
market at some point and we will see condo prices also
rise. The two markets are not disconnected.
And this is exactly what happened in 2015.
Last year saw average condo prices increase at higher
rates than they have in the last fi ve years (around fi ve to
seven per cent average increase in 2015, compared to
around two to four per cent in the last several years).
HOW THE NEW MORTGAGE RULES WILL INCREASE DEMAND FOR CONDOS
House prices are just completely out of reach now for the
majority of buyers and they are giving up and shifting their
focus on the condo market. This increase in demand is
driving prices higher.
Houses just became more una� ordable for fi rst-time
buyers with this new mortgage rule. A big chunk of would-
be homebuyers are now waking up today and deciding to
buy a condo instead.
Increased demand = rising condo prices in 2016. Not
only that, but move-up buyers are a� ected too.
Current condo owners who are planning on selling and
upgrading to a house will now have to delay those plans a
little bit longer in order to meet the new requirements.
This means a big chunk of condos that were going
to come onto the resale market in 2016 will not be.
Decreased supply = rising condo prices in 2016.
THE CONDO MARKET OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
This will be the central story of the condo market over the
next half decade: prices and rents will continue to rise as
housing demand shifts more and more away from houses
to condos.
The new rule by the government of Canada will only
serve to exacerbate this trend.
All good news for condo investors who are investing
today and who understand that the condo bubble is a
myth and that the future of our city is in highrise living.
THE NEW RULE
E� ective February 15, 2016 properties more than $500,000
will require a 10 per cent minimum down payment.
It’s important to note that the 10 per cent rule is only for
the amount of more than $500K.
So if you are buying a property for $600K then you
would need to come up with a minimum of 5 per cent on
the fi rst $500K (=$25K) and 10 per cent on the balance of
$100K (=$10K). So the total down payment required on a
$600K purchase is $35K ($25K + $10K).
Properties over $1M still do not qualify for CMHC
insurance and therefore must have a minimum 20 per
cent down payment — this was an existing rule that will
not change.

ONTARIO AND BC HOUSING markets are expected
to lead the country next year, according to the
Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). In
updating its forecast for Multiple Listing Service
home sales activity for 2015 and 2016, CREA
says housing markets in these provinces have
strengthened since its last forecast in September.
The association has therefore raised sales and
average price forecasts for these provinces.
While housing markets in other provinces have
performed as expected through the autumn,
prospects in 2016 for a rebound in oil prices — and
by extension, housing markets in oil producing
provinces — have dimmed. Accordingly, forecast
for sales activity in Alberta has been revised
lower, as have forecast average prices in Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Additionally, interest rates are now expected to
begin rising later than previously anticipated. Now
expected to remain on hold until late next year,
low interest rates will continue to support sales and
prices in 2016.
Fundamentally Speaking
Recently announced changes to mortgage
regulations that take e� ect Feb. 15, 2016 risk
cooling housing markets beyond their intended
targets of Greater Vancouver and the GTA, CREA
says. In particular, the changes are expected
to reduce sales activity in Calgary.
The forecast for national sales in 2015 has been
revised higher, refl ecting stronger than anticipated
activity in BC and Ontario. National sales are now
projected to rise by fi ve per cent to 504,000 units
for 2015, marking the second strongest year on
record for home sales in Canada.
British Columbia is projected to post the
largest annual increase in sales activity in 2015
(21.4 per cent), while Alberta (-21.4 per cent),
Saskatchewan (-10.8 per cent) and Nova Scotia
(-5.1 per cent) will record annual sales declines.
Activity in Manitoba is forecast to rise by 2.3 per
cent this year.
Home sales in Ontario are projected to rise by
9.3 per cent in 2015. The increase would in all
likelihood be higher were it not for a shortage
of lowrise homes in the GTA.
Sales in Quebec and New Brunswick are
forecast to rise by 4.8 per cent and 5.4 per cent
respectively compared to sluggish 2014 results.
Newfoundland and Labrador sales are forecast
to increase 3.2 per cent in 2015 on the back of a
rebound in the second half of the year. Activity
in Prince Edward Island, having benefi tted from
the lower Canadian dollar, is expected to be up
18.8 per cent from 2014 levels.
The annual forecast for national average
home price growth has been revised upward
to $442,600 this year, representing an increase
of 8.4 per cent.
British Columbia will be the only province this
year where average home prices rise faster (11.5
per cent) than the national average. The rise in
Ontario’s average price (eight per cent) is forecast
to be roughly in line with the national increase.
Elsewhere, average prices in 2015 are forecast
to rise by about two per cent in Manitoba,
Quebec and Nova Scotia, while falling 1.9 per
cent in Alberta, 2.7 per cent in Newfoundland
and Labrador and by less than one per cent
in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island.

TIME AND AGAIN, owning real estate
has proven to be a wise investment.
If you have not yet entered the
homeownership marketplace, now
would be a good time. Mortgage
interest rates continue at low
levels, and this single-digit rate
phenomenon will come to an end
some day.
When you shop for a condo,
think ahead and do some research
so you fi nd the best fi t for your
budget and lifestyle. Spend some
time online checking out builders
and communities in the area where
you would like to live. Location is
important in so many ways, from how
convenient it is to get to shopping,
schools and other amenities, to
your work commute. Explore
each building’s proximity to public
transportation and highways. Will the
condo feature a car-share program
and facilities to store bicycles? Even
better, can you walk to local shops and
services? If you do not have to own a
vehicle, that leaves a lot more potential
for how much condo you can a� ord.
Consider the architecture as
well. You need to feel comfortable
coming home to your building. Pay
careful attention to the amenities
included in the building. Remember
that amenities are one of the major
reasons why condominium living is
so much fun. You can access fi tness
facilities, party rooms, theatres, pools
and/or a raft of other common areas
that are uncommonly beautiful. These
amenities expand on your living space
and eliminate the need to leave home
to entertain, exercise and socialize.
When you are deciding what you
can a� ord in a condo, be careful to
count square footage as only one of
the parameters. The layout of your
suite will actually be more critical to
how livable it is for you. If the builder
has provided a model suite or two,
all the better! Walk through models
in person whenever you can to get
a true idea of the suite’s practicality
and potential.
When it comes to the bottom line,
ask questions. Is the builder o� ering
any special incentives, capped
mortgage rates or bonus o� ers?
Take advantage of every fi nancial
opportunity that comes your way.
Whatever you decide, my advice
is to buy new and buy now. Your
options depend on your budget, and
remember that you may be able to
create your perfect surroundings with
standard options. Remember that
when you sell someday, all things
being equal between two suites,
buyers will choose the one with
better fi nishes.

A MAJOR TORONTO newspaper
recently announced that they are no
longer going to allow comments on
articles and blogs on their website.
I totally understand that decision as
someone that regularly reads online
articles on the housing market. Every
article that discusses the highrise
condo market in Toronto includes the
same comments: Who wants to live in
all these glass boxes? Who is buying
all these new condominiums?
Based on a recent study by Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC),
investors are still buying condos in the
Toronto Census Metropolitan Area
(CMA). According to the report, there
are now almost 340,000 completed
condominium apartments in the
CMA, nearly 30,000 of which were
completed over the past 12 months.
On a percentage basis that is an
increase of 9.5 per cent, much larger
than the 4.7 per cent growth rate over
the previous fi ve years. The market is
defi nitely growing quickly, but how
much is too much?
Who is buying all the new condominiums in Toronto?By Ben Myers
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
CMHC reported that of the
340,000 condo units in the CMA,
over 103,000 were being rented out
by private landlords as of October
2015. Over 30 per cent of the stock
of suites are held by investors. There
is no doubt that confi dence in the
prospects for Toronto real estate
is near record highs, as investors
continue to buy rental properties. If
you break down the annually change
in total condo stock (plus 29,479
units) and the increase in condos that
were leased over the past 12 months
(plus 12,686 units), that equates to
approximately 43 per cent investor
participation. That fi gure is what I
would call “fuzzy math” because
some investors are selling o� the
older units they are renting out, and
some investors are buying resale units
to lease out. However, if you take
an average of the past fi ve years, it
equates to about 60 per cent investor
ownership of new condo units — in
line with developer estimates.
The condo investment market in
Toronto has really accelerated in the
past decade based on that 60 per
cent share, and investors really like
large projects in prime locations. The
share of investor ownership is largest
in buildings with 500 units or more
at 46 per cent. The vacancy rate in
these buildings declined year-over-
year from 1.2 per cent to one per
cent, and is the lowest among project
size ranges in the CMA. Investors also
prefer smaller units, as they are less
expensive to purchase, command
cheaper rent (and therefore are
fi nancially viable for a larger audience)
and are easiest and often quickest
to resell given Toronto’s a� ordability
crunch and the “youthifi cation” of
downtown. Average rental rates for
one-bedroom condo suites increased
5.3 per cent annually in the CMA
to $1,638 per month, in the City of
Toronto this unit type jumped 6.6 per
cent year-over-year to $1,680 per
month. Two-bedroom units actually
experienced a decline in average
rental rates from 2014.
It is clear from the recent data
that investors in the Toronto condo
market are increasing, but despite their
repeated formula of buying smaller
units in larger projects, vacancy rates
have remained low and rents have
increased despite the record-setting
growth in completed condos!
Condo investing is not easy and if
you’re looking to try your hand, make
sure you consult with a team that
knows the market. Happy hunting!

BREAKING WITH TRADITION, FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS
At the heart of Great Gulf’s master-planned community,
the boutique condominium residences of Trafalgar
Landing bring an entirely new urban architectural
language to the area — and then translate it perfectly
to this idyllic Oakville setting. The results are three
distinctively unique residences planned for the site: the
Archer, the Chelsea, and the Winslow, featuring designs
ranging from studios to three-bedrooms and priced from
the low $200s.

A BEACON OF STYLE IN THE SUBURBS
Distinctively modern in approach, the exterior design
of the boutique condominium residences at Trafalgar
Landing elegantly blend stone, metal and wood in a way
that conveys an air of both sophistication and warmth.
The balconies in particular make generous use of design
accents, helping to ensure that the outdoor spaces are
just as inviting as those within. Stand out features include:

Property Profile | BLUE DIAMOND
IMPERIAL PLAZA IS NOT just another
typical condominium development.
Camrost-Felcorp’s master-planned
Imperial Plaza community, set atop
the escarpment along St. Clair Avenue
West, boasts the city’s best views,
and has become a new centre of
gravity for Forest Hill and Deer Park,
reinvigorating two of Toronto’s most
sought-after neighbourhoods.
The project began with the
retrofit and restoration of the
historic 23-storey former Imperial
Oil headquarters at 111 St. Clair Ave.
W. — “one of this country’s greatest
modernist buildings,” says Camrost-
Felcorp President and CEO, David
Feldman — into a mixed-use luxury
condominium. Imperial Plaza’s grand
restored marble lobby features the
newly opened The Market by Longo’s
with Starbucks, and an LCBO, both
prominently displaying on their
walls the original building’s iconic

development’s second phase, Blue
Diamond, a 28-storey glass building
that will incorporate parts of the
historic decommissioned former Deer
Park United Church, which has stood
at the corner of St. Clair Avenue and
Foxbar Road for a century. Designed
by Diamond Schmitt Architects, Blue
Diamond’s tower will rise behind an
open-air public courtyard enclosed
by the original exterior walls of the
1913 building.
Residences at Blue Diamond
range from 485 to more than 1,800
sq. ft. and are priced from the mid-
$300s. There will also be a collection
of modern luxury three-storey
townhomes on Foxbar, the quiet
residential street along the property’s
southern side, previewing soon.
All buildings at Imperial Plaza are
perched atop the escarpment that
yields unrivalled panoramic views. In the
1960s, the Imperial Oil building’s top-
floor observation deck, 800 ft. above
sea level, was Toronto’s highest point.
Luxury and lifestyle are top
priorities at Imperial Plaza, which
has a 20,000-sq.-ft. shared amenity
complex, Imperial Club, complete
with state-of-the-art fitness centre,
indoor pool and whirlpool spa, squash
courts, yoga/pilates studio, golf
simulator and sound-insulated music
room.
The building has a tastefully
landscaped courtyard, by Janet
Rosenberg & Studio, with a furnished
fireside patio and barbeques. Other
amenities include party room,
screening rooms, a media lounge
and multi-purpose games room.
“Amenities here are the finest in
the city,” says Feldman, noting that
Imperial Club occupies the entire
footprint of the old office building.
Imperial Plaza’s abundant on-site
offerings make the project highly
desirable for empty nesters and
families alike. The community enjoys
one of the city’s best locations,
bordering high-end neighbourhoods
like Forest Hill and Moore Park, with
top schools, great dining spots, chic
or casual shopping options, and
abundant green space. Best of all, the
community is served by the St. Clair
streetcar and two TTC subway lines
just a short walk away.
Imperial Plaza’s first phase is taking
occupancy and select residences
are available for sale, including the
Imperial Suites (608 to 1,675 sq. ft.)
and Imperial Lofts and Flats
(710 to 1,160 sq. ft.). Prices
range from $474,900 to more than
$1.5 million. Meticulously designed by
The Design Agency, select suites
feature 10-ft. ceilings, laminate
plank flooring, and kitchens with
stone countertops and integrated
appliances.
“Imperial Plaza is the gold standard
in luxury condominium living, and
these residences represent the
pinnacle of that unique experience,”
says Feldman, whose company
is an industry leader with more than
35 years of experience developing
landmark condominiums. “The
community we’re creating here
celebrates an extraordinary past while
helping to write the next chapter
in an exciting future for this entire
neighbourhood.”

IMPERIAL PLAZA IS NOT just another
typical condominium development.
Camrost-Felcorp’s master-planned
Imperial Plaza community, set atop
the escarpment along St. Clair Avenue
West, boasts the city’s best views,
and has become a new centre of
gravity for Forest Hill and Deer Park,
reinvigorating two of Toronto’s most
sought-after neighbourhoods.
The project began with the
retrofit and restoration of the
historic 23-storey former Imperial
Oil headquarters at 111 St. Clair Ave.
W. — “one of this country’s greatest
modernist buildings,” says Camrost-
Felcorp President and CEO, David
Feldman — into a mixed-use luxury
condominium. Imperial Plaza’s grand
restored marble lobby features the
newly opened The Market by Longo’s
with Starbucks, and an LCBO, both
prominently displaying on their
walls the original building’s iconic
York Wilson’s Story of Oil mural. “It’s
transforming the neighbourhood,”
Feldman says of the retail. “It’s great
to see everyone with smiles on their
faces, and now you can get a bottle

JANUARY 2 - 16, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 35 34 YPNEXTHOME.CA
WHETHER YOU’RE purchasing a
home for the fi rst time, are a
seasoned buyer moving in the
market or purchasing a retirement
condominium, the very action of this
signifi cant investment in real estate
represents a major life change.
There are a number of issues that
you should consider in order to
ensure that your house is in order.
1. How will I hold the title?
If more than one person is buying
the property, it is necessary to decide
how they will share the title.
There are two ways people
can hold title together. The fi rst is
generally the way we hold title with
our spouses or children, which is
called “joint tenancy.” This means that
upon the death of one of the parties,
the remaining party automatically
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
becomes the owner of the whole
property without having to inherit it or
having it pass through an estate. The
reason is simply that all owners on
title own the whole property rather
than a part each.
The other way title can be held is as
“tenants in common.” Here each party
only owns the percentage allocated
to them, although the physical part
owned is not described. Upon the
death of a tenant in common, his
or her percentage of the ownership
goes to their heirs in accordance with
their will or law. Therefore, remember
to discuss this issue when you go see
your lawyer.
2. What about a will?
If you have a will, is it up to date
and does it represent your current
situation or state of a� airs? It is
important, especially if you have
young children, to have your wills
completed; not so much for the
money, but for a clear resolution of
the issue of custody if something
happens to both parents.
A will stops sibling disputes, takes
care of who will look after children,
keeps the government out of
your a� airs, allows for an orderly
disposition of your assets, and will
allow you to determine how you are
to be buried.
A power of attorney is used
when you are physically or mentally
incapacitated — there are two kinds.
The fi rst is for your body (what care
you will or will not receive). Your
representative will determine that.
The other is for the management of
your fi nancial a� airs.
Now is the time to create a will.
Speak to your lawyer and ensure that
this important matter is dealt with.
3. What about insurance?
You will need insurance for the house.
This is a great time to look at life and
disability insurance, and determine if
you should be insuring your mortgage
in case something happens to the
major wage earner.

DONNED IN THEIR tennis whites, over 600 guests attended
the Smashed Ping Pong Tournament held at Muzik
Nightclub in October 2015 by Zancor Homes and Lifetime
Developments. While only one person earned bragging
rights and took home the trophy from the fourth annual
Smashed Tournament, the real winner was the Lifeline
Foundation.
Returning for the second consecutive year, Lifeline
was chosen as the recipient of the proceeds raised from
Smashed — one of the development industry’s most
successful fundraising events. Lifeline was formed by
Lifetime Developments to provide aid and support for
Toronto’s vulnerable and at-risk communities.
The 2015 event was an outstanding success that raised
more than $200,000 for Lifeline, double the record-
breaking proceeds raised from 2014’s event.
“We are extremely impressed by, and grateful for,
the participation of so many who helped make this
year’s Smashed event such a hit,” says Brian Brown,
vice president, Lifetime Developments. “The generosity
of those supporting the event, including members of
the development industry and friends of Lifetime, was
overwhelming and demonstrates a shared concern for
Torontonians in need,” says Brown.
Lifeline’s mission is to provide aid and support for
Toronto’s homeless and at-risk communities by raising
awareness and funds, and by facilitating various hands-on
initiatives and on-the-street activities to improve the lives
of those at risk. Lifeline is dedicated to building healthy
communities and uses the funds raised to support local
organizations and initiatives with an emphasis on youth
on the street, food bank services, and counselling and
educational services.
Since being founded in 2014, Lifetime Developments
and Lifeline have supported a number of local charities
and initiatives within the City of Toronto including:
Second Harvest, Covenant House, Children’s Food Bank,
Woodgreen, Eva’s Initiatives, Breakfast for Learning,
Blessings in a Backpack, Baycrest, The Mikey Network
and Unity Charity.
“Through fundraising initiatives like Smashed, our
annual food drive and social media contests associated
Trending
with our development projects, we
remain committed to o� ering at-risk
individuals and families in Toronto
a much needed lifeline,” says Brian
Brown. “We are eager and greatly
looking forward to supporting even
more local initiatives in the city
through 2016.”

PEOPLE FROM AROUND the world
come to Ontario because of our
quality of life and the opportunity for
a better future.
The Greater Golden Horseshoe
(GGH) welcomes 100,000 people
every year. The provincial government
believes that by 2041, the region
will add three million residents — a
45-per-cent increase — for a total
population of 13.5 million.
It is important that we have a
plan in place to support growth and
protect environmental features.
Ontario’s Greenbelt and the Growth
Plan work together to protect and
conserve areas while creating new
communities and requiring changes
in our existing neighbourhoods.
Ontario’s celebrated and cherished
Greenbelt protects more than 1.8
million acres around the GGH. It
needs to be improved and enhanced
to help our communities create new
animal and plant habitats, clean our
water and provide new points of
public access for residents to enjoy.
Investing in a Smart Greenbelt will
improve our quality of life.
The Growth Plan was created to
complement the Greenbelt — to
answer the question of where we
put those three million new people
— in a thoughtful and proactive way.
These decisions impact every aspect
of community building in our region,
and everyone should have an opinion
about it.
Acting as chair of the Greenbelt
Growth Plan review panel, David
Crombie was asked to help us
understand how connected these
plans are to Ontario’s future.
Connecting the dots is always
a challenge when discussing why
and how new housing comes to
communities.
It is sometimes di� cult for existing
neighbours to appreciate how new
urban townhouses in midtown
Toronto help protect rural agricultural
lands. It is equally di� cult to explain
that a 40-storey condo built into a
future subway station will improve
the water service and prevent future
basement fl ooding. It is even more
di� cult to explain that new GO
service will require new transit-
inspired communities fi lled with
people who will use GO and help
focus growth to reduce congestion
on our highways and roads.
The Ontario Home Builders’
Association has been trying to help
connect those dots.
Working with the Pembina
Institute, we released “Making Way
for Midrise: How to build more
homes in walkable, transit-connected
neighbourhoods,” a report that
showed how intensifi cation in transit-
oriented communities will allow some
cities to build up instead of out.
Applying smart growth principles
means building new housing and
o� ces along subway and transit lines.
These communities will improve the
quality of life for existing and new
residents, while helping preserve
productive farmland.
I often hear the familiar criticism
about 1970s suburban sprawl, but
today’s planning isn’t a Joni Mitchell
song. Paving “paradise to put up a
parking lot” isn’t an option; we need
to connect the dots because we are
all connected in this community.
The Greenbelt and Growth Plan are
the cornerstones of progressive smart
planning in Ontario. We are building
better communities today because
we all deserve to have the best quality
of life.
Improving our quality of life by building great communities

Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong
and other special guests were on
hand for the ceremony.
“From its dynamic location,
to its provocative architecture,
outstanding amenities and luxurious
fi nishes, Yonge + Rich represents
the new standard of excellence
for a condominium development
in the heart of Toronto. We’re very
proud to have accomplished such
a great design while preserving
and incorporating the existing
heritage property,” said Christopher
Wein, president, Great Gulf. “This
development is unique in the
fact that we have created two
condominiums in one building:
market units have been designed
for the fi rst 34 fl oors, with luxury
units created for fl oors 35 to 45.
Each group of condominiums has its
own lobby, elevators and amenities.
With an exceptional design team
including the acclaimed Peter
Clewes of architectsAlliance,
Diego Burdi of Burdifi lek
International Design and DTAH
landscape architects, Yonge + Rich
raises the bar for savvy buyers who

Advice | TARION REPORT
BUYING A HOME is a milestone in a
person’s life. It signifi es achievement,
stability and a place to lay down
your roots. And with about 50,000
new homes being taken possession
of each year across Ontario, that’s
a lot of people’s time, investment
and dreams for the future resting on
these foundations.
For the majority of new-home
owners, the experience is a positive
one. Most builders stand behind their
construction and make repairs when
needed. But for some, the experience
is not typical. They discover defects
in their new home, and sometimes,
their builder doesn’t make the proper
repairs. Thankfully, all new homes
in Ontario come with a seven-year
warranty that is provided by your
builder, and backed by Tarion.
Tarion is here to make sure the
new home buying process is working.
We set the standards when it comes
to licensing and after sales service
delivery for warranty obligations. We
step in when your builder cannot
or will not fulfi ll their warranty
obligations. And at the end of the day,
we are here to ensure builders stand
by their construction and provide you
with the new home that you signed
for.
Tarion’s registration process is
designed to ensure builders have the
competence and fi nancial means to
build homes. We list every registered
builder in the Ontario Builder
Directory, searchable on tarion.com.
Any builder that is not listed in this
directory is not a registered builder in
Ontario, and may be building illegally.
If a builder isn’t registered with Tarion,
it may be because they couldn’t pass
a technical test or demonstrate solid
fi nances.
We fi nd that illegal building often
leads to poorly constructed homes
with Ontario Building Code violations
and other serious defects. Illegal
builders have run o� with people’s
deposits, or left them with homes that
are unfi nished and uninhabitable. Not
too long ago, a couple came to Tarion
looking for our help. They gave a builder
almost $1 million to build them their
dream home. The home was never
completed and the builder took o� with
their money. We helped prosecute this
builder who received a jail sentence
for his crime. We also issued a deposit
claim for the homebuyers.
It is not only stories like this that
emphasize the necessity of a Tarion-
backed warranty. It is also the need
for all new home builders to be held
accountable to certain standards in
construction and customer service
in order to ensure the entire process
is working. With almost 40 years of
protecting new-home buyers, Tarion
has registered close to two million
new homes throughout the province
and has continued to raise the bar in
terms of standards in the new home
building industry. And it all comes
down to standing behind each and
every new home, so that the new
homeownership experience continues
to be a positive one for Ontarians.

new home warranty rights, visit

buyers, visit tarion.com or fi nd us on Facebook at facebook.com/TarionWarrantyCorp.

WANT TO ELEVATE your condo look
without having to spend a week living
in a hotel — or living in a construction
zone? I’ve put together some of my
top tips for giving your home a major
boost without tearing open the walls,
for a big decor upgrade at any time.
Area Rugs» Don’t want to commit to
wallpaper? This is where a large area
rug comes in to add that sense of
richness and texture in a big way.
Even if you have beautiful hardwood
fl oors, a large rug adds a layer of
new texture (and optionally a pop of
colour) while defi ning a seating or
dining area, with a softness that adds
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
a sense of “home.” When it’s time for
change, roll up the rug and place it in
a new space, or resell it as vintage.
» Size your rug to tuck fully under
the furniture. For biggest impact run a
custom sized rug from almost wall to
wall in one area, leaving a 12-18-inch
border of exposed fl oor. A custom cut
plain (solid colour) carpet can achieve
this look without breaking the budget.
Wallpaper Murals» Another way to add the feeling of
wallpaper without all the labour is to
use a single roll of paper and hang
it poster style across one accent
wall (for the casual sophistication
of a Paris apartment), or cut it to fi ll
oversized gallery frames.
» Using a grid of 10, 20-by-20 in.
frames, you can fi ll an area over three
ft. tall and 8 in. wide, perfect for
livening up a wall in the sitting area or
a hallway.
Layered Lighting» No amount of pot lights in the
ceiling can provide enough even
lighting to unlock your space’s full
potential. Plug-in sconces with
beautiful cords are perfect for fl anking

a sofa or cabinet, and will help
balance the heavy furniture piece with
some extra light.
» Try a long swing-arm sconce to
add light over harder to reach places,
like on a compact desk or over a
favourite reading chair.
Headboards» Upgrading to an oversized,
upholstered headboard can really
fi ll in the look of a bedroom space,
especially if you choose an extra tall
style to give some play of heights.
Many companies supply standalone
headboards that can be attached
to any bed, so you can make this
upgrade without changing your
existing frame and mattress.
» Choose an oatmeal beige to subtly
contrast white walls, or use a royal
blue for a restful pop of colour (and
leave the sheets clean and white).
Regal Mouldings» Whenever possible now I usually
install extra deep baseboard (8 in.
plus) in homes to give a high-end
European look. You can upgrade just
your baseboards to give your walls
a new look, or for an even easier
solution simply add an extra strip
of moulding above the top of your
baseboards to stretch the existing a
little taller.
» Also consider adding crown
moulding, especially in places
like ceiling coves or windowless
bathrooms. It fi nishes the ceiling in a
stately way that lends a sense of history.
Mixed Textures» Perfectly matched furniture can
be pleasant, but sometimes lack in
personality. Mixing di� erent materials
and textures gives a sense of energy,
so try contrasting opposites, like
warm wood versus sleek mirror, or
crisp stainless steel against antiqued
bronze, and mix di� erent fabrics like
leather and wool for di� erent hand-
feels.
» A sofa with two chairs is a classic
seating confi guration, but there’s no rule
that says the chairs have to be the same.
Try a low lounger for when you feel like
sinking in, and a more formal upright
seat for reading or conversation —
mixing periods and silhouettes will give
your home a little edge.
Flowers» A vase of fresh fl owers isn’t only for
magazine shoots — a few blossoms
can add life to your space. One of
my favourite clients would keep vivid
carnation blossoms in bud vases and
this simple touch gave a sense of care
to her entire home.
» In the bathroom blooms are extra-
unexpected; add a live tropical orchid
to your vanity or perched on a stool
next to the shower/tub.

CALGARY, EDMONTON and other markets already
experiencing a cooling are expected to be among
the cities hardest hit by the federal government’s new
minimum down payment requirement.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Dec. 11 announced
changes to the rules for government-backed mortgage
insurance, intended to contain risks in the housing market,
reduce taxpayer exposure and support long-term stability.
E� ective Feb. 15, 2016, the minimum down payment for
new insured mortgages will increase from fi ve per cent
to 10 per cent for the portion of the house price above
$500,000. The fi ve-per-cent minimum down payment
for properties up to $500,000 remains unchanged.
The move represents a graduated approach to
increasing the down payment requirement proportionally
to the cost of a home. Canadians who already hold
mortgages will not be a� ected by this announcement.
“The government’s role in housing is to set and maintain
a framework that is equitable, stable and sustainable,”
Morneau says. “The actions taken today prudently address
emerging vulnerabilities in certain housing markets, while
not overburdening other regions. They also rebalance
government support for the housing sector to promote
long-term stability and balanced economic growth.
“This measure will increase homeowner equity, which
plays a key role in maintaining a stable and secure housing
market and economy over the long term,” he adds. “It also
protects all homeowners, including many middle class
Canadians whose greatest investment is in their homes.”
In making the announcement, Morneau also highlighted
the increases in guarantee fees for Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corp. (CMHC)-sponsored securitization
programs, announced by CMHC.
So, what might all this mean for consumers?
For those in Calgary, Edmonton and even Victoria, BC,
the move could have the unintended consequences of
imparting additional cooling on already chilly markets.
CIBC Deputy Chief Economist Benjamin Tal says the
largest impact will be felt in Calgary, due to the large share
of high-ratio mortgages. In this city, the new measures are
estimated to impact about 10 per cent of new sales, while
in Toronto the fi gure is fi ve per cent; in Vancouver, just
2.5 per cent.
Overall, the ramifi cations of the move should be fairly
minimal. “It will only a� ect a small number of buyers,”
James Laird, president of mortgage broker CanWise
Financial, told YPNextHome. “People in the a� ected group
may need to rent a little bit longer until they save the extra
Trending
down payment required. They may still buy where they’re
planning to by getting help from family. Or they may still
buy right away, but buy a slightly smaller home than they
were planning to.”
The changes primarily target high-end homebuyers —
“two young professionals earning pretty good incomes,”
Laird adds. “They are purchasing in this $500,000 to
$1 million bracket.
“The other thing to think about is that it really shouldn’t
a� ect non-fi rst-time homebuyers. Presumably, they’d be
selling their previous home to buy another home, and
there’d be enough equity in their home.”
Toronto-based mortgage broker and wealth planner
Calum Ross expects the new rules to cause a spike in
activity before the deadline.
“Unexpected changes to the market that make access
to capital more di¡ cult historically have had a signifi cant
short-term impact, followed by an adjustment,” he told
YPNextHome.
“Expect market activity to go up substantially on homes
priced between $500,000 and $1 million through until
the deadline. Personally, the only surprise part of this
announcement is why they didn’t do this sooner. The
fact people were able to do fi ve per cent down beyond
$500,000 was ridiculous to begin with. Homeownership
is a privilege, not a right.”

THE WORD EXPANSIVE applies to
Islington-City Centre West, an area
that stretches over a huge swath.
Not that it doesn’t o� er options for
leisure activities, particularly around
Bloor and Rathburn, with parks and
trails aplenty, but there is a distinct
commercial vibe. Subway to work,
drive to Sherway for shopping or take
in a fl ick at the Queensway Cineplex
VIP. But casual strolling to shops,
restaurants and spas? Not so much.
Vibe
You’ll get a di� erent feel depending
on where you are. The Queensway
is enjoying a spate of development,
with new midrise condos and retail
expansion to complement existing
commercial presence. Head north
and you’ll pass through a mix of
industrial areas and small retail plazas,
with older single-family homes in
Neighbourhood Profi le
Expansive and in transition
Islington-City Centre West
quieter residential streets. Highrise
rentals are also prevalent.
Meet the neighbours
There’s a large contingent of families
with children, mostly in the six to 14
years age range. NHL player David
Clarkson and his family were among
them – until early 2014. He lived in
the area around Kipling and Bloor,
often taking the subway to “work” at
the Air Canada Centre.
Planes, trains & automobiles
Islington-City Centre West boasts an
excellent location – with proximity
to Hwy. 427 and the QEW, as well
as Kipling station where the GO
Train connects with the TTC’s Bloor
subway line. Heavy truck tra� c is
noticeable in the southern area
populated by light industry and big
box stores, but head north through
the residential streets around Bloor
and Burnhamthorpe and you’ll fi nd
lots of greenspace and paths.
Real estate
Residential streets in the north are
quiet, with large mature trees and
nice lots, as well as plenty of rental
options. Motorist tra� c along the
Queensway can test your patience
at times, especially heading east
during the morning rush hour, while
the industrial plazas and warehouses
around North Queen apply a bit of a
blue-collar feel to the area.

IN THE HOT TORONTO location of Danforth and
Oak Park avenues, On The Danforth Condo
is making a stir in the city’s condominium
scene. Prices beginning in the mid-$200s are
incredible, considering the condo’s proximity to
restaurants, shops and services on the Danforth,
the Woodbine and Main subway stations, and
the Main/Danforth GO Train station. Prospective
buyers are even more impressed when they
walk through the model suite and see the
design and construction quality they get for
these price points.
According to Carmen Dragomir of esQape
Design, the design fi rm enlisted by developer
Diam Developments to appoint the interiors,
“This 882-sq.-ft., two-bedroom-plus-den
model is laid out beautifully and can fi t the
needs of everyone from singles to couples and
families,” Dragomir says. “The second bedroom
could serve as a guest bedroom, nursery or
studio. Owners might use the den as a dining
area or home o� ce. These multi-functional
spaces make the most of every square foot.”
The model is appointed with mostly
standards, so “people really see the quality,”
Dragomir says.“ The kitchen island Caesarstone
countertop is standard, but the waterfall side
panels are upgrades. Other than that, the
kitchen features and fi nishes are standard.”
Among these are 9-ft. ceilings (10 ft. in
penthouses), fi ve kitchen appliances, quartz
kitchen countertops, and laminate fl ooring that
resembles wood in a light colour. “The fl ooring
contrasts with the darker kitchen we chose,”
she adds. “With the dark cabinetry resembling
furniture and creating a background for the
other furniture, the kitchen ties in seamlessly
with the rest of the open-concept living area.”
esQape Design also added wall frames that
make the furnishings in front of them stand out
as focal points. “Anyone can add a wall frame
like this to add an interesting visual dimension.”
Another approach that spurred their choices
for decor and accessories is an eclectic design
approach. “Empty nesters and other couples
and families often move into a condo having
collected items from their travels over the years.
Trending
This suite is a great example of how you can combine modern decor
grounded in transitional, or even in some cases, traditional items.
The sofa is a contemporary shape with transitional tufting, and the
matching co� ee and end table have marble tops with transitional
curved metal bases.”
Dragomir used frames again in the two bedrooms, but with
opposite colours to illustrate how much fl exibility people have to
personalize their space. The ensuite is done in a tone-on-tone
palette that complements the white, light gray and light taupe
used throughout the suite. “The use of neutrals really helps people
personalize their surroundings, because they can change their look
with splashes of colour in furnishings and accessories,” Dragomir
explains. To bring the elements together, Dragomir used accents in
green and yellow in keeping with the condominium’s logo.
Interiors by esQape Design Inc. include the boutique-inspired
lobby where concierge service will be provided, a multi-purpose
room with a kitchen and private dining room opening onto outdoor
terraces. Club Danny will feature a fi tness area/outdoor yoga space,
lounge, WiFi lounge, fi replace and rooftop terrace with a barbecue
area. All of this is framed by a terraced contemporary exterior by
onespace that provides stunning views of the city and lake.
The Presentation Centre is located at 2359 Danforth Ave. (south
side of Danforth, east of Woodbine). Call 647.348.9009 or visit

THE IDEAL HOPE FOUNDATION was
established to enrich the lives of
those in need by providing homes
for everyone, to keep families
together and call upon others to do
the same. Its mission is to provide
homes, inspire hope and contribute
to the development of sustainable
communities in the developing world.
This will be accomplished through
an integrated approach to both
the funding and implementation of
Ideal Hope.
Ideal Developments shares this
same philosophy, and to this end
established the BuildHaven program.
The BuildHaven program gives
Ideal Developments homebuyers
the power to make a true di� erence
without lifting a hand or spending an
extra dollar. We call it BuildHaven and
what it means, is this: for every home
that Ideal Developments sells, we
will also build a home for a deserving
family in the developing world.
Trending
Ideal Hope Foundation
In summer 2015, Ideal Developments successfully launched Modern
Manors, a unique collection of 60 modern-inspired homes in Richmond
Hill, starting from the 400s with sizes ranging from 885 sq. ft. to 1,329
sq. ft. These homes feature an abundance of outdoor living space,
including rooftop terraces and patios, suites that are appointed with the
fi nest fi nishes, open concept layouts, and professional-inspired kitchens
that deliver the ultimate culinary experience.
BuildHaven is the fi rst program of its kind in Canada, perhaps the
world, and represents a strong philosophy of giving back to those
in need. This program goes beyond building homes and rebuilds
communities as a whole.
BuildHaven works with a level of transparency, integrity and
openness to encourage others to participate. Customers can take
pride in knowing that they contributed directly to improving the
lives of those in need simply by purchasing a home from Ideal
Developments, where dreams truly do become a reality. Pictures of
these moments will be shared on idealhope.org, and customers will
be given contact information and pictures of their partner family so
that the bond established between them can continue into the future
should they wish.
BuildHaven speaks to the heart of what Ideal Developments
is all about. A home builder who wants to make the lives of their
customers and the world a better place at the same time.

KYLEMORE COMMUNITIES’ trades, sta� and suppliers have
once again answered the call to help brighten the holidays
for York Region families at Christmas. In mid-November,
the Markham-based luxury home builder held its annual
holiday party and welcomed 400 guests who were asked
to bring a new toy.
For a third consecutive year, the toys collected were
donated to the Christmas Food and Toy Drive organized
by Unionville Alliance Church (UAC), which in turn
distributes hampers to families in the area. Russell Foy,
UAC Hampers of Hope volunteer, was on hand to receive
the toys. “We are extremely grateful to Kylemore and their
many partners for the wonderful boost our annual toy
drive receives. With their support we have been able to
increase the number of families we help at this time of
year,” he said.
Well known for his philanthropy and charitable work,
Patrick O’Hanlon, president, Kylemore Communities said,
“Lending a hand to help others is what unites a community
and strengthens our ties to each other. It is part of our
DNA to give generously and it’s heartwarming to know
that the Christmas season will be brighter for many
children because of the generous donations our guests
made to the toy drive.”

ADI DEVELOPMENT GROUP is building a new
junction for real estate and transit in one of
Burlington’s fastest growing neighbourhoods.
Strategically situated along one of the
GTA’s busiest transit corridors, StationWest
by Adi Development Group responds to a
key demographic demanding relief from
commuter strain.
“With StationWest, we’re not just building
for today. We’re targeting connectivity and
walkability to build for the future,” says Tariq Adi,
CEO of Adi Development Group. “We’re creating
a mobility hub that acknowledges the present
and future of this booming region.”
A recent Angus Reid Institute survey illustrates
a mounting GTA housing and transit crisis,
with millennial buyers being priced out of the
region and GTA commuters still dependent on
congested highways.
Adi Development Group addresses this major
concern, o� ering a lifestyle shift: homes that
o� er a balance of convenience and attainability.
“Developing mobility hubs is a key strategy for
the City of Burlington and particularly important
to our emerging west end,” says Rick Craven,
Ward 1 councillor. “Intensifi cation around the
GO station is great for Aldershot. Residents
will be within walking distance of public transit
while also taking advantage of all of the region’s
greenspace, from Hidden Valley to LaSalle Park.”
Connecting residents directly to Union Station
in less than an hour, StationWest’s fi rst phase
will consist of traditional and back-to-back
townhomes starting from the low $400s. Two-
and three-bedroom layouts ranging from about
1,200 to 2,200 sq. ft. are ideal for fi rst-time
homebuyers and families alike. An extension
of the Aldershot community to the south,
StationWest is designed to o� er new public
infrastructure within a private community, with
quiet walkways and parkland. Clever wayfi nding
creates separate pathways for residents and
visitors connecting pedestrians and cyclists to
the station.
“We as developers need to be thinking
about how to restore the balance between
comfort and convenience. At StationWest,
Trending
you can walk out of your door and onto the train while still coming
home to a quiet, green neighbourhood,” says Saud Adi, COO of Adi
Development Group.
StationWest also represents one of the last opportunities for new
lowrise development of this scale in Burlington under the Greenbelt
Act.
With StationWest, Adi Development Group brings its signature
cutting-edge contemporary aesthetic and attention to detail to lowrise.
Bold geometric facades by ICON Architects leverage a palette of
natural materials to create an eclectic, modern streetscape. Every
detail has been carefully selected with features typically reserved for
custom homes, from aluminum and frosted glass garage doors to
oversized windows and framed glass balconies.
The contemporary lifestyle shift continues with high-design
interiors featuring kitchens with innovative colour blocking by
Union31. Outdoor space has been prioritized; each home opens to
an expansive rooftop balcony or spacious backyard.
From the Waterdown Village to the shopping districts of
Aldershot’s Plains Road, StationWest o� ers urban accessibility,
celebrated parkland at the Royal Botanical Gardens, and waterfront
trails at LaSalle Park.
“This will be one of the last opportunities to own in a transit-
connected lowrise community of this size in Burlington.” says Adi.
Launching early 2016, phase one of StationWest will o� er
spacious layouts ranging from two- to three-bedrooms. Register
now to be among the fi rst to preview this anticipated community at
adidevelopments.com.

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 (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.
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
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.
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 COLD WEATHER SETS in and the days get shorter and shorter, ensuring
our bedrooms feel like sanctuaries becomes so much more important.
The bedroom is such an easy place to overlook — and in my experience,
it’s often the last place busy parents will invest time and money. To ensure
you get the best sleep possible, here are some essential steps to creating
the best sleep retreat.
1. Get the best mattress you can a� ord We spend a third of
our day sleeping — so your mattress is a product that is absolutely worth
investing in! While it might be scary to look at a high ticket price on a
premium mattress, remember that a good mattress can last anywhere
from 5-10 years or longer. So a $2,500 mattress amortized over this
length of time ends up costing around the same price as your daily cup of
co� ee. And do ensure you try before you buy — don’t be shy to lie down
and toss and turn in the store to make sure it’s a perfect fi t.
2. Keep it dark Keeping a room dark plays a huge impact on quality
of sleep for both adults and children. Before going to bed, put lights on
a dimmer (an easy change an electrician can do if you don’t have them
currently) to mentally prepare your body for rest. Then ensure you have
black out window coverings for the best light fastness. In children’s rooms
especially, I love using side channels that a company like Budget Blinds
can install to keep light out from the small gaps that typically occur on the
sides of roller shades.
3. Keep it dramatic I love creating cozy bedrooms. In my space I
used a deep indigo blue called Krimson Lake by CIL Paints. It is absolutely
a myth that dark colours are inappropriate for small spaces — in a small
space dark paint can make a room feel cozy, dramatic and inviting. I took
the drama one step further by installing applied moulding from Metrie’s
Very Square collection. Applied moulding painted out the same colour as
the walls is a modern take on a more traditional architectural application.
4. Keep it clean Commit to keeping the bedroom the cleanest
room in the house. At the end of a chaotic day, who wants to return to
chaos? Commit to using laundry hampers, to putting clean laundry away
immediately and to making the bed daily. Making the bed, if you don’t
do so already, is a really simple task that will yield huge wins and build
momentum for keeping the rest of the room tidy as well.
5. Make it smell good I use an essential oil di� user in the bedroom
in the morning to get me energized and in the evening to get my body
ready for sleep. A few drops of lavender essential oil di� used in the
room makes everything smell good and can do wonders to calm the
nerves and aid in relaxation. For further help getting the best sleep try a
herbal supplement like Pascofl air’s passionfl ower to de-stress and aid in
restlessness. And absolutely remember to not let the bedroom become
a dumping ground for mess — you deserve a great night’s sleep and a
restful retreat after a long busy day. Commit to giving yourself this gift
everyday!
Ringing in a new year doesn’t change who you are, unless you let it. It’s a marker in time, a point from which you can decide to make a change. A fresh year can bring fresh perspective and so many people use January 1st to make
resolutions — leave the old bad habits behind with the old year and step into the new year full of good intentions for a better you. New Year’s resolutions can be anything from bettering your health to changing your attitude. How about bettering your home!Here are fi ve great New Year’s resolutions for your home:
1. Clean
It’s easy to get into a rut with your cleaning. You do the same tasks and take care of the same things in your regular routine. Take a look around and see what really needs attention and then make it your resolution to add that to the cleaning routine.
2. Streamline
It may be old, damaged, or just not fi t your decor, but you can’t get rid of it. It’s now or never. You don’t have enough room in
your home — or your headspace
— for clutter so either fi nd a purpose for it or give it away to someone that can.

AS COLD WEATHER SETS in and the days get shorter and shorter, ensuring
our bedrooms feel like sanctuaries becomes so much more important.
The bedroom is such an easy place to overlook — and in my experience,
it’s often the last place busy parents will invest time and money. To ensure
you get the best sleep possible, here are some essential steps to creating
the best sleep retreat.
1. Get the best mattress you can a� ord We spend a third of
our day sleeping — so your mattress is a product that is absolutely worth
investing in! While it might be scary to look at a high ticket price on a
premium mattress, remember that a good mattress can last anywhere
from 5-10 years or longer. So a $2,500 mattress amortized over this
length of time ends up costing around the same price as your daily cup of
co� ee. And do ensure you try before you buy — don’t be shy to lie down
and toss and turn in the store to make sure it’s a perfect fi t.
2. Keep it dark Keeping a room dark plays a huge impact on quality
of sleep for both adults and children. Before going to bed, put lights on
a dimmer (an easy change an electrician can do if you don’t have them

especially, I love using side channels that a company like Budget Blinds

When you live this close to the Davisville subway chances are you’ll have time for that extra cup of coffee before heading downtown. That’s just one of the perks
that comes with living at J. Davis House. J. Davis House is a boutique-style condominium on Yonge just north of Davisville.
Great suites, great amenities and a great location just one block from the Davisville subway station.
