Condo living will be the new normal in Ontario: BMO - BNN News

Condo living will be the new normal in Ontario: BMO - BNN News



The already expansive price gap between condos and detached housing in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) will continue to expand towards the end of the decade as new detached development is squeezed against the walls of the protected Greenbelt and overwhelmed by mature millennials looking for backyards.
That’s according to a new study from the Bank of Montreal examining how changing supply and demand dynamics will shape housing in the GTA.
While many point to the rapid build-up of condo inventory as reason to believe Toronto’s market is approaching bubble territory, BMO senior economist Robert Kavcic says those people are ignoring a fundamental shift in where Ontarians will live in the next decade.
“Housing bears often point to a massive number of condo units under construction, which does look dramatic, but fail to appreciate what they can’t see, a dearth of single-detached construction,” said Kavick in the report.
It’s easy to see why landing a lawn and a backyard in Toronto is getting more expensive. At the end of 2014, 57,000 condo units were under construction compared to just 7,200 single detached homes. But the reality of density-focused development is creeping into communities that have for decades served as an affordable oasis for middle class families looking for the suburban lifestyle.
“A four bedroom house on a 40-foot lot would have been the benchmark new home product in Vaughan Ont. in 2004. It would have been about $575,000. In 2014, the same house is $1.5 million. Almost three times the price,” said George Carras, the president of RealNet Canada Inc.
The gap between the price of a new house and a new condo in Toronto skyrocketed to nearly $300,000 in February. Carras says “moving out to the burbs” is going to mean travelling to more far flung areas of the province as a wave of higher prices radiates from Toronto’s city centre.
“If you can’t afford that, your low rise option isn’t in Vaughan, Markham, or Mississauga. You are seriously looking at Cambridge, or you’re looking at Kitchener, or you’re looking at Barrie. Those are your move out options,” said Carras.
Toronto’s red hot housing market is often compared to Vancouver’s, mainly based on their impact on nationwide home priceing figures. But Carras says while both markets are seeing tremendous pressure on housing prices, the reason behind Toronto’s surge in dense high-rise housings is unique.
“In Vancouver, the region has to densify because physically it’s caught between the water and the mountains. Your only option is to grow up. In Toronto, you’re not caught between water and mountains. You’re stuck between water and policy,” he said.
The Ontario Places to Grow Act took effect in 2006, creating a 7,300 square km swath of protected green space, farm land, wet lands, and watersheds around the Golden Horseshoe, the most densely populated region in Canada that surrounds Lake Ontario.
“With Lake Ontario to the south, the Greenbelt effectively turns the Greater Toronto/Hamilton/Niagara region into an island with respect to housing development, and development in some areas has begun to push up against the perimeter of the Greenbelt,” said Kavic, who notes some 20 percent of inner ring of the Golden Horseshoe is available to support growth for the next 15 years.
While land may be available near the periphery, the report says transit from the region is relatively weak for those commuting to Toronto’s core, where 40 percent of the regions jobs are based. The Places to Grow act has identified 25 urban growth centres outside of the city to help spread out employment and ease transportation chokepoints in the future.
After 2015, at least 40 percent of all residential development in Hamilton, Durham, Halton, Peel, and York Regions will have to happen “within the built-up area.” Lower thresholds have been set towards the outer reaches of the Golden Horseshoe. Peel and Hamilton have bested these targets in recent years at 50 percent and 48 percent respectively.
“It’s essentially a grow up not out approach to the region’s future. If housing requirements over the next 20 years call for another 2.4 million people to move here, the kind of housing you’ll have is driven by the kind of housing you can create. You can expect more high-density, less low-density, and the price behavior is going to very between those two because of supply and demand,” said Carras.
“This means building row and high-rise housing, while 50 to 75 foot-wide lots become a relic of the past. Combining these two factors suggest that the supply curve for good-sized detached lots in areas with reliable and timely transit is steeping fast,” said Kavic.
On top of that, the echo of the baby boom generation, or mature millennial set, is expected to hit their prime backyard hunting years just in time to put more pressure on an already tight market for single family detached homes.
Ontario Ministry of Finance projections show population growth in the 25-to-35 year old age group decelerating in the next decade while the 35-to-39 year old and 40-to-44 year old accelerate further.
“Combining these supply and demand fundamentals suggests that Toronto condo prices could be in a for a prolonged period of stagnation, or very sluggish growth, while detached home prices outperform through the end of the decade, barring a major external shock,” said Kavic.
The Places to Grow Act will be due for a 10-year review in 2016. It’s forward looking statement for 2041 calls for “compact development that makes the best use of our limited land supply and offers a diversity of choices for living, working and enjoying culture,” as well as a “fast, reliable, and integrated transportation system.”
Carras says unlike the mountains that shaped Vancouver and its outlying suburbs, the Place to Grow Act can evolve with the changing needs of Ontarians. For now though, he says Toronto homebuyers should look west to get a sense of what’s to come for the price of a detached home, the price of a condo, and the nearly $300,000 in between.
“In Vancouver, which is probably about 10 to 15 years ahead, that price gap is probably closer to $750,000 to $800,000,” he said.

Spring cleaning your way to a neater home outdoors | EiEiHome

                        Spring cleaning your way to a neater home outdoors | EiEiHome

Spring cleaning season is upon us! The most common projects include linen closet organization, cleaning out drawers filled to the brim with paperwork and tossing old bottles of aspirin and cough medicine that have been collecting dust in the back of a cabinet. But what about the outdoors? The exterior of your home is equally important and could use a little TLC now that the snow has melted.

Where do I begin?

Spring cleaning isn’t an easy task, but that’s why we’re here to help! Thinking about what needs tackling outdoors may be a challenge, which is why we recommend you take the following steps even before you begin:
  1. Make a plan. Are you a spreadsheet person, or prefer pen to paper? Either way, make notes about what it is you want to do outside. Once you have an idea of what you’ll be undertaking, you can plan how many people you’ll need to do it and schedule a time for when it’s going to happen. Having a plan in place will give you peace of mind and keep you on the right track.
  2. Timing is everything. Now that you’ve developed your plan of action, you must decide how much time to allot to each task. Rather than squeezing in every task into one weekend, spread them out over a few weeks to ensure that everything gets done and you’re not overwhelmed. Do this by estimating how much time you think it will take and where you can fit it into your already-established schedule. Don’t forget to schedule in breaks!
  3. Round up some troops. Chances are good the work you’re about to do will require some help and that’s fine! In fact, if you have a team of people working with you, you’ll get the job done faster, giving you more time to enjoy the space you’ve worked so hard to get cleaned and organized. If that’s not the case, consider hiring an expert. We have a database of house cleaning professionals who can assist you with your spring cleaning needs.
Now that you know how to prepare, here’s what you should be focusing on to get your home in tiptop shape. We’re not going to lie – these aren’t glamorous jobs, but a good spring cleaning will refresh your home just in time for warm evenings and summer BBQs.

Clean exterior windows

Your home has survived the elements another season and the windows are no exception. Winter storms have a tendency to leave residue on the glass, which make them look old, tired and dirty. Before you invite guests over, fill a bucket with soapy water and use a clean sponge or squeegee to give them a good wipe down. Your home will look refreshed and your windows will be ready to let the sunlight in.
outdoors2
Bonus tips!
  • Wash the outside windows before you move indoors. Otherwise, you won’t be able to tell if they’re actually clean or not.
  • Last month, we wrote a piece on how to clean exterior windows. Check it out!

Gut the guttersoutdoors

Does the thought of cleaning out the gutters make you want to groan? It’s not the most fun job to tackle, but should be made a priority. Leaving the gutters full of debris and water can actually cause damage to your home. Instead of removing the leaves and twigs by hand, wear gloves and use a scoop to gather it all. It’ll keep your hands safe while you’re up on the ladder.

Organize the garage

Since the weather is getting warmer, you’ll probably be spending more time outside, enjoying the weather and sunny skies. Instead of tripping over boxes of tools and other clutter while taking out the lawn mower every three days, why not get the garage organized? Chances are good it could use it! Divide your storage space based on your needs. For example, designate the corner of the garage for summer equipment, car materials and the like. Install cabinets or shelves on the walls to house your tools, making them easily accessible when you need them.
outdoors3

Spruce up the lawn

Your yard takes quite a beating in the winter months thanks to the cold, heavy snow. Want a lush, green yard your neighbours will be sure to notice? Get rid of soggy leaves on the grass (and if you’re an avid gardener, in the flowerbeds). A rake is the best tool to gather the debris, but remember to switch sides periodically and don’t twist your torso. Otherwise, you could end up injuring yourself, leaving you couch-bound with back pain when you should be enjoying the outdoors.
outdoors4
If you have a fairly large yard and don’t think you can manage to clean the space yourself, consider hiring a landscaper to do some maintenance for a day. Check out our list of landscaping contractors who can help!

Power wash the driveway

Now is a good time to do some maintenance work on your driveway, which could surely use a touch-up after a long, cold winter.
  1. Remove any grass or weeds growing in the cracks of the driveway.
  2. Using a pressure washer or hose, remove dirt and grime.
  3. Apply a coat of sealer to make the driveway look brand new.
outdoors5
Congratulations! You’ve not only improved your home’s curb appeal, but also tackled the jobs often neglected by homeowners. Don’t forget to spend as much time outdoors and reap the rewards of your hard work.
Completing these jobs is important to maintaining the health and look of your home, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it yourself. We have a directory of house cleaning professionalslandscaping contractors and handyman service professionals who specialize in finishing those home projects.

Green is the new black: How to grow an eco-friendly garden

                                                   
                                                      www.realtorpankajpatel.com
(NC) Green is the new black as we become aware of the power of green gardening. So no matter whether you're a landscape architect looking to support a recurring client , a condo dweller content with a couple of potted herbs, or a home owner looking to do your part for the environment, a little guidance from the world's largest producer of outdoor power products will have you on trend in no time. Take a look at these tips from Husqvarna:
∙ Compost: Improve soil fertility by using kitchen food scraps. You don't need to throw away perfectly good plant food. Known as 'gardener's gold', compost is an inexpensive way to give your soil high-powered nutrients.
∙ Harvest rainwater: Adding a rain barrel is an easy way to capture water for watering lawns, yards and gardens. Be sure to put a screen on top of your barrel to keep out unwanted debris and creatures.
∙ Updating tools: Is it time to trade in your lawn mower for a newer version? Newer lawn mowers are more fuel efficient and produce less harmful emissions. Also, you may want to consider a lightweight trimmer that is compatible with multiple attachments so you can work more efficiently.
∙ Bee friendly: Provide a pesticide-free sanctuary for butterflies and bees by growing a diverse variety of flowers. Flower such as wild lilac, goldenrod and lemon balm are particularly inviting to our flying friends.
∙ Give some breathing room: Soil loosening makes it possible for oxygen to reach the roots of the plants and also creates a better-looking flowerbed. In smaller beds you can get by with hand tools, but if you're working with larger areas, a rotary cultivator is the way to go.
∙ One man's mulch is another man's fertilizer: Leave the clippings on your lawn. Not only do you eliminate the time to bag and dump the mulch, but the clippings fertilize the soil and lawn.
More lawn tips and information about tool options for green gardening can be found online at www.husqvarna.ca.

How to make your renovation a successful, positive experience

(NC) In Canada, renovation spending has more than doubled since the late 1990s to reach nearly $65 billion last year alone. Often the investment a homeowner makes is substantial both, financially and emotionally. The stakes are high. That's why it's imperative that the job is done well from start to finish. There are a number of steps a homeowner can take to ensure a positive experience and a successful outcome, including:
1. Know your goal. Ask the question, “What is this renovation designed to accomplish—more functionality? Storage? Living space?” If a homeowner doesn't know where they're going with the renovation, chances are they'll never get there.
2. Do your research. In most things, knowledge is power, and knowing what to expect, in advance, can keep expectations in check. Investigate options, budgets and timelines, and arrange financing in advance.
3. Hire professionals. Be sure that they are happy to work with you to meet your budget and achieve your vision. Communicate clearly and often to ensure understanding on both sides.
4. Opt for a general contractor and trades that are experienced, licensed and insured. Don't hesitate to check credentials and references. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues who have had work done and were satisfied with the results.
5. Start with quality building materials. When it comes to home renovation and construction, the adage, 'it's what's on the inside that counts' seems apt. While homeowners tend to get caught up in the esthetics of a project, such as finishings and paint colours, the key to a successful renovation often lies in what you won't see. Investing in quality behind your walls will ensure durability, comfort, and safety for years to come.
6. Focus on the basics. This includes quality electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing and drywall. Don't underestimate the importance of insulation—especially in a basement renovation. Not all insulation is created equal. Opt for insulation that is fire-resistant, sound absorbent, and resistant to mould, mildew, bacterial growth and rot. In my renovations, I like to use products like Roxul's Comfortbatt and Comfortboard IS to help achieve a more energy efficient home, buy you valuable time in the event of a fire and prevent moisture issues that can pose health risks and lead to costly repairs.
7. Develop a good plan. This includes preparing for the unexpected. Setting aside a 20 per cent contingency fund will help bring you to the finish line when unanticipated issues creep up.
Lastly, the key to a successful renovation includes patience. Living in a construction zone—or alternately moving out while the work is done—can be stressful and trying. Keep your eye on the prize. There's nothing more rewarding than the end result, which can bring years of enjoyment and ultimately, add to your home's bottom line.

Simple solutions to reduce water consumption at home


                                                     www.realtorpankajpatel.com


(NC) According to Environment Canada, a standard toilet uses approximately 18 litres of water per flush. Assuming that each person uses four flushes per day that translates into nearly 30,000 litres per person per year. For a family of four, that's nearly 120,000 litres of water per year. Instead of opting for the traditional expensive and labor-intensive plumbing renovation, homeowners should consider an eco-friendly alternative such as a macerating toilet.
Products such as Saniflo's Sanicompact can cut water consumption significantly. The unit reduces water consumption though a dual flush system, making it perfect for the green-minded user. It uses only four litres of water per flush, saving approximately 24,000 litres of water per person. For a family of four, this saves approximately 96,000 litres per year.
It's also an easy and cost-effective solution. With simple renovation requirements, no need to break the concrete or do intensive construction, the Sanicompact not only helps the environment, but also increases the value of any home or commercial space.
More information on these toilet systems is available online at www.saniflo.ca.

5 ways to make an Easter flower arrangement

Smart Tips ( Source: yp.ca )


Not sure where to start? Here are five ideas for beautiful Easter flower arrangements for your home.
  1. Use a candle. For a lovely evening dinner, why not feature a tall pillar candle (or series of pillar candles) surrounded by faux grass or fresh spring flowers? Look for a wide-mouthed vase as the starting point for your arrangement  and make sure your candle is solidly secured at the base. For a dramatic look, feature multiple votive candles surrounding your Easter floral arrangement at the centre of your table. 
  2. Try a basket. Forgo the usual vase and opt for a basket to feature your flower arrangement. And there’s plenty of choices available for baskets around Easter — think wire, plain woven, coloured woven, and more. Arrange some colourful grass on the bottom of the basket with pastel-coloured flowers on top and you’ve got yourself an arrangement fit for the Easter Bunny.
  3. Make it fun. Looking for a cute arrangement for your children’s table? Or something more whimsical for your adult centrepiece? Why not scatter spring flowers such as tulips, lilacs, Easter lilies, hydrangeas, daisies, Asters, and even orchids with any number of Easter-themed dĂ©cor items around your home. Think: chocolate bunnies, marshmallow peeps (peeping out of the arrangement?), plastic eggs, paper or plastic grass, and more. You could pull together the arrangement in a children’s Easter basket, bucket, or even a tiered cake stand to show off your work. 
  4. Show off your tulips. Tulips are one of the ultimate spring flowers. There are many ideas here to feature these Dutch blooms. You can start simple by featuring a tall vase with a colourful bouquet of pastel flowers or opt for tulips in a single colour. Additionally, you can trim the stems short and tuck them into an Easter basket complete with grass, to be the star of Easter dinner. Tip: If you want your arrangement to last, trim those stems every few days and change the water often. 
  5. Feature a few eggs. This is the time of year when coloured eggs are all around us. Why not feature your finds at the centre of your table? There are many directions to take with this type of arrangement. You can feature the eggs with a mixture of spring flowers such as lilacs and tulips. Or arrange the eggs, spring blooms, and grass in a shiny clean bucket or basket at the centre of your table. And in case it slips your mind, don’t forget to blow out the eggs first or feature hard boiled or even plastic eggs.

Home maintenance tips for first-time buyers



(NC) Purchasing a home for the first time is an experience no one forgets – so don't let yourself get overwhelmed. With so much to consider beyond the mortgage payments, inspections, and the property taxes, many first-time buyers overlook important maintenance tasks that should also be done right away for energy efficiency and to save money in the long run.
“Many first-time home buyers are intimidated by home maintenance and are often unaware of how simple it can be,” says Dave Walton, director of home ideas at EnerCare Home Services (formerly Direct Energy Home Services). “Learning how to perform routine upkeep can help save from unexpected and costly repairs down the road, and even increase your home's resale value.”
Walton offers these simple tips to help manage the maintenance during the first year of home ownership:
• Get your ducts cleaned – The average duct cleaning removes approximately five pounds of dust and debris. Hire professionals for this job, especially if the previous owners had pets or if the house has recently been renovated. If you're moving into a brand new home, check with your builder to see if a duct cleaning is included at closing.
• Seal leaks around windows and doors – Up to 30 per cent of heating and cooling costs in a home can occur due to poorly fitted windows and doors. Add caulking or sealing if needed to reduce air leaks. If the caulking is old, strip it off and re-caulk.
• Replace or wash furnace filters – This allows your air conditioner and furnace systems to run more efficiently. Clogged filters mean that motors must work harder and use more energy. It's best to replace or wash filters every three months, so add quarterly reminders to your calendar so you don't forget.
• Have your furnace inspected – Have a licensed technician inspect your furnace since there's no guarantee that previous owners performed routine maintenance. Because your air conditioning system works hand-in-hand with your furnace, it's important to make sure both are working safely and efficiently, especially before the heat spikes.
• Hire qualified contractors – Don't try to save money by making improvements and repairs you aren't qualified to make. It's always best to hire professionals to do work you're not sure about to avoid injuries and keep your home in top condition.

Deck out your outdoors for spring



                                                      www.realtorpankajpatel.com
(NC) When the warm weather finally hits, nothing beats lounging in the sun on a beautiful deck in a landscaped yard. But to enjoy all the outdoor comforts of summer, there are some annual repair jobs around your outdoor space that should be completed. Once you're done this list of maintenance tips from The Home Depot Canada, your backyard will be ready for BBQ season and outdoor enjoyment.
• The cool weather of early spring is the best time to clean your deck. Sweep away any debris left from fall and winter storms. Then use a power washer to remove dirt build-up along with any mould and mildew stains that may have formed over the last year.
• Apply a fresh coat of sealant or stain to your deck on a dry day. Doing this in early spring gives it time to dry before placing patio furniture on the surface.
