Now that spring has sprung (well, sort of), get ready for the season that naturally follows –

construction.Indeed, there is an old joke that

we have only two seasons in Canada – winter and construction. Now that the former is � nally over, the latter may well begin in earnest.

It’s not a new development that Edmonton – like many cities in Canada – has prioritized building new roads and transit systems, and trying to � gure out how to pay for it all.

� ankfully, though, the federal government is increasingly waking up to the need.

Case in point, the most recent federal budget which included more

Infrastructure’s big boostWe need better transit options, and the federal government is increasingly on board

New home experienceMake wise choices and enjoy the process

transit and transportation infrastructure investment.

� e Economic Action Plan 2015 will provide new funding of $750 million over two years, starting in 2017-18, and $1 billion per year ongoing thereafter to a new Public Transit Fund. As the government’s largest targeted infrastructure program, the Fund “will promote public transit infrastructure investment in a manner that is a� ordable for taxpayers and e� cient for commuters.”

As outlined in the budget, infrastructure is vital to our economy. “It gets our goods to market, Canadians to work in the morning, and back home to their families at night.”

It’s good to know our governments are fully on board.

When only a new home will do, those in the market will be pleasantly surprised by the

exceptional value and attention to detail a new home o� ers.

When you buy new, you don’t inherit somebody else’s worn carpeting, personal taste in kitchen appliances or paint colour preferences. You get a fresh, clean space that’s waiting for your personal imprint.

If you’ve always fantasized about buying a brand new home, here are a few tips that can help you make the process a pleasant one:» Shop the mortgage market to see

what you can a� ord before you start your hunt;

» Obtain a lawyer who is willing to review your o� er and close the deal;

» Don’t be persuaded by high pressure sales tactics while you’re out shopping;

» Determine which options and upgrades you want as part of your o� er and ensure your lender will � nance what’s required, if needed;

» To save money, consider which upgrades you could purchase and install yourself after the sale closes. Some upgrades such as rough-ins and wiring inside the walls are easier to do before construction.

Factors such as the cost of the home, neighbourhood, lot size and special features play a big role in your � nal decision. Determining which features your new house absolutely must have, and which features you could live without, should be among your � rst steps in the homebuying process.

We hope you enjoy this issue of New Home Guide. Let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you.

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. 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 gather-ings, a clubhouse, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accommodate gatherings both small and large.

Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Architecture 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 un-developed lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guide-lines.

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..

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. 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 gather-ings, a clubhouse, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accommodate gatherings both small and large.

Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Architecture 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 un-developed lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guide-lines.

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.

//INDUSTRY UPDATES – CHBA - ALBERTA

JIM RIVAIT Jim Rivait is Chief

Executive Officer of CHBA – Alberta. Starting

his career working in government, Jim spent the last decade working

in the private sector specializing in government relations, advocacy, strategic

communications, policy development/analysis and association management.

Torture testing your new homeTorture tests for doors and windows are just one way builders are making sure new homes meet the highest standards.

The new CSA Group lab at the Edmonton Research Park is equipped to perform 37 different tests of durability and energy efficiency. Windows endure punishing blasts of water while specially designed machines open and close doors up to half a million times.

The facility is responding to demand from local suppliers for testing to meet new requirements under the National Building Code for independent testing of their products.

“The changes to the Code will mean every window, door and skylight sold in Canada will have to be certified,” says Nashir Jiwani, CSA Group regional vice-president, Canada.

Testing is nothing new for companies that supply the multitude of individual components that will go into your new home. Homes today are built according to exacting standards that reflect the many advances in science and technology over the years.

Starting back in 1941, the National Research Council (NRC) published the country’s first National Building Code. As the NRC points out, today’s construction technologies and techniques differ vastly from those in the use back when new movies in the theatres included Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon and Dumbo.

The new techniques and technologies developed for building homes face rigorous scrutiny at the national level and then face additional examination before the Alberta government adopts them for use in this province.

One great example of how innovation has benefited both consumers and the environment is the huge improvement in energy efficiency.

A couple of years ago, CHBA did an interesting study that looked at how much energy a typical home built in 1975 used in a year. Then we searched archives to find the original construction specs and determined that the same home built today according to current codes would consume 66 per cent less energy. The amount of energy needed for heating dropped an astounding 78 per cent.

The latest round of national code changes will bring new energy-savings measures that will reduce both fuel bills and

the carbon footprint of homes. And for home buyers who want to push the environmental envelope even further, Net Zero homes are popping up around the city that produce as much energy as they use.

Keeping up to date with changing for codes for building, fire, plumbing and energy use is a challenge. Our building technology expert is tracking some 800 different codes changes and arranging sessions for CHBA members to help them understand what’s new.

Some things about building new homes never change – attention to detail and focus on quality – but professional builders are always looking for ways to make homes more comfortable, affordable and efficient.

The confidence in homes built today is confirmed by the 10-year warranty that comes standard with every new house these days.

Building homes is a serious business because your home is likely the single biggest purchase you will ever make.

The new CSA lab where windows and doors get put to the test is also serious business. This is the same lab where they do explosives testing so you know these people aren’t fooling around.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents over 1,500 business members including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies, and professional services.

A cloud of uncertainty continues to hang over the province to some degree, due to oil and gas, but the mood in Alberta real estate is brightening slightly.

“In recent weeks, there has been a subtle shift in mood to the positive as people contemplate the possibility of market upside if oil breaks the $60 barrier,” Phil Soper, president and chief executive of Royal LePage, told New Home Guide. “Oil has recovered more than 20 per cent o� the early 2015 bottom.”

In releasing its House Price Survey for the � rst quarter, Royal LePage underlined how much of an impact the slide in oil and gas has had on the province. In Calgary, the housing market slowed visibly, as low oil prices continue to curtail activity.

� e ongoing economic turmoil in Calgary, in fact, has pushed the city out of the top three fastest appreciating housing markets in Canada, into a more moderate zone of below national average price increases.

Price appreciation in the � rst quarter in Calgary was far milder than the signi� cant year-over-year price increases experienced throughout 2014. � e average price for detached bungalows increased 3.8 per cent to $498,400, while

standard two-storey homes increased 1.7 per cent to $480,656. Standard condominiums recorded moderate growth of 2.9 per cent to $286,913.

Edmonton real estate was similarly a� ected by the drop in oil prices, Royal LePage says, as uncertainty stopped many prospective buyers and sellers from entering the market. While fewer homes traded hands, the three major housing categories saw average prices increase on a year-over-year basis. Detached bungalows showed the strongest gain of 6.8 per cent to $364,906. Over the same period, standard two-storey homes rose 5.5 per cent to $391,378 and standard condominiums climbed 3.1 per cent to $231,093.

As for the outlook, says Soper, the news is not all bad.

“Price is a trailing indicator. By mid-year, the drop in unit sales volumes should be taking e� ect, reduc-ing Calgary home prices. A tight rental market and still high employ-ment rate will help to hold values up, especially in the entry-level to mid-market priced homes.”

Elsewhere in the province, the Alberta Real Estate Association reports that monthly average prices in March, compared to year-ago levels, were: South Central Alberta (up 39.3 per cent), Alberta West (14.7 per cent), Lethbridge (11.2 per cent), Medicine Hat (10.5 per cent), Lloydminster (7.8 per cent) and Central Alberta (5.0 per cent). In contrast, average prices were down in Fort McMurray (-0.2 per cent) and Grande Prairie (-5.3 per cent).

SHOWHOME REVIEW//

TWO-STOREY PERFECT FOR THE GROWING FAMILY

They say it’s what’s inside that counts, and when it comes to a home it’s both the people and the

design that makes it come alive. Th e 2,148-sq.-ft Kolkata by Rohit Communities is brand new to the company’s home lineup in southwest Edmonton’s Glenridding Heights. And while it’s a new design, it feels grown up, like a home built for vibrant families who plan to grow in their homes.

Th e fi rst thing you feel when you stand at the front foyer is a sense of calm, of nature and warmth, thanks to the ceiling that opens above to the second fl oor, turquois decor, and the white, rectangular ceramic tiled fl ooring and ecru walls. To the right of the foyer is one of many closets throughout the home.

Th e fi rst thing you feel when you stand at the front foyer is a sense of calm, of nature and warmth, thanks to the ceiling that opens above to the second fl oor, turquois decor, and the white, rectangular ceramic tiled fl ooring and ecru walls. To the right of the foyer is one of many closets throughout the home.


//SHOWHOME REVIEW

As you move along, there is a full bathroom with tasteful granite countertops, high gloss charcoal ceramic backsplash around the sink and the top third of the shower surround, and a full bath with shower. Right outside the bathroom is another large closet for even more storage.

One great feature of the Kolkata is the main fl oor den. In the showhome, it’s set up as a guest bedroom. Th ere’s enough room for a desk, double bed and dressing area, and the room has two massive closets. Th is would make a great guest room or in-law suite, especially with the full bath just down the hall.

Just past the den and the stairs the house opens up into a large living room, kitchen and dining room. Th e living room feels both large and homey, thanks to the dark hardwood fl ooring, plush furniture, stone-clad fi replace and turquois theme.

Th e kitchen is open and well thought out. Th e island has a double sink, built-in dishwasher and plenty of cupboards and drawers. Th e cream, 42-in. cabinets with crown moulding give the kitchen a modern yet almost French feel. Th ere is a gas range with overhead fan, stainless steel built-in oven and microwave, and a large stainless steel fridge with double freezer drawers.

Just off the kitchen is the dining room basked in an abundance of natural lighting, with a table set for six. Adjacent to the dining room is a door to a large pressure-treated deck off the dining room at the back of the house, perfect for entertaining or just enjoying quiet time with nature.

Heading off to the second fl oor, the beige shag carpeted stairs lead you to the bonus room, though in this house it’s more like a second living or family room. It’s large, bright and airy, and it’s vast enough for a desk, couches and a TV. Th ere’s also a balcony overlooking the front door, so you can see who is stopping by from upstairs.

HIGHLIGHTS • Large den on the main fl oor off ers the option of an

in-law suite on the main fl oor, • Spacious kitchen is perfect for preparing meals for

family and friends. • Second fl oor hosts two bedrooms and a master retreat

– all featuring their own walk-in closets! • An oversized bonus room acts as the perfect backdrop

for movie nights in.• Th e master bedroom comes complete with a luxurious

ensuite bathroom including a corner soaker tub, his/her sinks and separate shower.

To the left of the great room is the laundry room with front loading washer and dryer and the spacious master suite. This design takes advantage of the area above the garage to give the master suite the space and light it deserves. There are two walk-in closets and an ensuite with a soaker tub, his and her sinks and a glass-surround shower. As in all other bathrooms in the Kolkata, you’ll also find ceramic tile flooring throughout.

To the right of the great room are the second and third bedrooms, a linen closet and another full bathroom. Both bedrooms overlook the backyard and have large windows to welcome the natural light. But the best feature of both rooms? They both have walk-in closets! This is an unusual feature for a home of this size and price point. The full bathroom is an almost exact replica of the bathroom downstairs, including the granite countertop and ceramic tile backsplashes.

The Kolkata starts in the low $500,000s. For more information about the home, visit rohitcommunities.com or head down to Glennridding Heights and see the home for yourself: 1403 164 St. SW. Showhome hours are Monday to Thursday from 3 to 8 p.m., closed Friday, and noon to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays. You can also contact the Area Sales Manager Sandi Boyer at 780.6907825 or [email protected]

VIOLET GLOBES: Chintz and

Company – set them in the

garden, or place them as a pop

of colour around your furniture

or even on the dining table.

These are great accessories that I

use both inside and out.

FLORAL PILLOW: Large floral

pillows are a great way to get

lots of colour and tie in to nature.

Shown here is a gorgeous lombar

cushion from Urban Barn, paired

with a Wayfair.com find.

FIRE TABLES: What a great

way to get instant ambiance –

fire tables, bowls, stix instantly

say stay, relax and enjoy. Shown

here is the EcoSmart Stix fire

stand. Not best for the front

porch, but this was too chic not

to share with you.

DON’T FORGET THE PORCH…

Having a beautiful set of patio furniture can add elegance in a person’s home and expand on your overall living space. More and more people are paying attention to they’re backyard but totally forget to deal with the front. It doesn’t take much, a simple grouping of planters, side table and a chair will do.

I’ve attached a few of my favorite things that will add a punch of colour and interest to your front entrance – whether it be tiny or huge – don’t forget to add your personal touch, and have fun!

Photos compiled are from websites that Marie shops at, various items chosen are befitting the mood and depict best choices for this article. Should you want information on any of these products, please contact interiorsBYDESIGNinc.

STOOLS: I use these types of

metal/ceramic stools all over the

house. They work great as extra

seating, but are always a welcome

addition for those awkward corners.

Shown here are both from Chintz

and Company, the silver is the

Vanora Stool and the purple is

the Ceramic Stool (comes in two

more colours).

CHAIR. Gray wicker chair (or any

other colour) always looks great

under a porch. Wicker won’t

withstand the elements, if your

porch isn’t covered, go to a more

durable finish on your patio chair

like this gorgeous teak or a pvc

vinyl. Whatever chair you decide

on, make sure it’s comfortable, and

always try to fit two so you can

have a glass of wine with a friend!

01 Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income

of you and your spouse.

02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you

can afford to make on your home.

03 Take the total price of the home and subtract the

amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04 Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down

the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000.

06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and

monthly property taxes.

07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your

gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home

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

// HOMEBUYERS’ HELP

MORTGAGE TYPESALL MORTGAGES ARE OF TWO BASIC TYPES:

CONVENTIONAL:The buyer can borrow up to 80% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less.The buyer has to pay 20% down. A conventional mortgage cannot exceed 80% of the value of the property.

INSURED OR HIGH-R ATIO:A buyer can borrow up to 95% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less. The down payment can be as low as 5%.

MORTGAGE OPTIONSYou can choose any of these mortgage options which fit into the two basic mortgage types. Lenders may even customize these options to suit your needs.

OPEN MORTGAGE:Allows borrowers to repay all or part of the total amount of their mortgage at any time without penalty.

Because of f lexibility, this is ideal for borrowers who plan to sell their homes in the near future or who want to switch from a short-term mortgage at high interest rates to a longer term when mortgage interest rates fall.

CLOSED MORTGAGE:Usually has the lowest interest rate available but lacks the f lexible features of other mortgage options.A good choice for those who want the security of knowing their monthly payment is fixed for a longer term.

Prepayment options are available but they are subject to conditions.

PORTABLE MORTGAGE:Flexibility if borrowers move. Borrowers can take the mortgage to their new home or can transfer it (usually with the consent of the lender) to the purchaser of their old home. This is an attractive option if the rate on the existing mortgage is lower than current rates.

CLOSED MORTGAGE:Usually has the lowest interest rate available but lacks the f lexible features of other mortgage options.A good choice for those who want the security of knowing their monthly payment is fixed for a longer term.

Prepayment options are available but they are subject to conditions.

PORTABLE MORTGAGE:Flexibility if borrowers move. Borrowers can take the mortgage to their new home or can transfer it (usually with the consent of the lender) to the purchaser of their old home. This is an attractive option if the rate on the existing mortgage is lower than current rates.

If you’re planning to buy a home this year with less than 10 per cent down, you can also plan for higher mortgage costs as of June 1, 2015. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) and Genworth Canada have announced that they are raising their mortgage insurance premiums by 15 per cent. CMHC increased its target capital requirements in mid-2014.

The move isn’t expected to have a big impact on homebuyers’ pocketbooks or Canada’s housing markets, CMHC says. The higher premium would amount to an additional $5 per month for the typical borrower with a 95-per-cent loan-to-value ratio on a mortgage of $252,530. However, in Canada’s pricier markets, those monthly mortgage costs will inevitably be higher. In addition, the looming rise in mortgage costs could also signal a busier-than-normal spring real estate market, as homebuyers try to beat the clock on the May 31 deadline.

The increase in mortgage insurance premiums reflects concerns that Canadians are overextending their budgets by taking on more home than they can afford, leaving them in a tight spot when interest rates rise or at the slightest economic turn.

Experts advise that homebuyers plan ahead, save their money and put down as much as possible, to avoid taking out a high-ratio mortgage. Homebuyers unable to save up this often hefty amount can still buy a home with a down payment of less than 20 per cent, but federally regulated lenders require mortgage loan insurance, which covers them in case of payment default. The lender is responsible for the premiums and passes those costs on to the homebuyer in the form of a lump-sum payment, or more commonly, higher monthly payments.

CMHC is Canada’s largest insurer of residential mortgages.

Existing mortgages, high-ratio mortgages with more than a 10-per-cent down payment, and mortgages on multi-unit properties will not be affected by the premium increase.

The annual gala took place at the Shaw Conference Centre and honoured Edmonton’s best in home building, renovating, community development, sales and marketing.

In our last article we discussed the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) concerns over the amount of new debt Canadian households have accumulated during the low interest environment that has shaped our markets since our last recession in 2008.

We finished our last article by proposing that increasing debt is not a singular sign of weakening household finances. In our opinion, what counts is how Canadians are spending or investing the money they borrow, and how they are servicing their debt. Currently, mortgage debt accounts for 66 percent of all consumer debt and the majority of our most recent experienced growth in total national debt levels.

In economics, a common measure of financial health is whether one is forced to spend over 30 percent of their

gross income on housing. By this measure, average households in Edmonton and Calgary comfortably afford the current carrying cost of the average residential housing price, while being comparatively better off than average households in Canada’s other top 3 major centres. Furthermore, these average households continue to save a significantly high portion of their gross incomes, suggesting they are well situated to continue to finance their homes if these carrying costs should rise in the near future.

The IMF warns that higher interest rates could jeopardize Canadian homeowners’ abilities to finance their homes comfortably, which in turn could cause a steep downturn in our housing market.

When it comes to Alberta, we don’t share the same view.

//HOMEBUYERS’ HELP

» by SHANE’S LANDSCAPING & CONTRACTING LTD.

Even though your lawn goes into dormancy during the winter, frigid temperatures, drying winds and a lack of snow cover can leave it looking tired and ragged once the snow melts. Here are a few simple steps you can take in the spring to get your lawn o to a good start for the growing season.

RAKE THOROUGHLYAs soon as the ground thaws and soil becomes somewhat dry and workable, go over your lawn with a rake. During the course of the winter, most lawns accumulate a variety of small branches, sticks and leaves. Raking will remove accumulated debris and “massage” dead grass blades out of the soil to help prevent the build-up of thatch. It will also o er you the opportunity to inspect your lawn carefully for problems areas which may have been loosened by the winter’s frost heaves.

REPAIR DAMAGED AREASRepair any places where the grass has worn away, either by laying down sod or by over-seeding. • To install sod, use a spade to create clean edges and

remove enough soil so that the sod will be level with the surrounding turf. Use a rake to loosen and level the soil, lay in your sod, tamp it down with your foot and water it well. Water the new sod at least every other day or so for the next two weeks, or until you are certain the new grass has taken hold.

• To seed the area, rake the area vigorously to loosen the soil, scatter seed on it, cover the seed with dusting of soil, then water with a gentle spray, taking care not to dislodge any seed. Keep the soil moist by watering occasionally until the new grass has sprouted and reached a height of at least two inches.

AERATE Aerating your lawn creates holes in the soil to allow air and water to penetrate to the root zone. � is can be especially bene� cial on heavy clay or compacted soils, or on areas

damaged by extensive periods of wet or dry weather conditions. � ere are several ways to aerate your lawn. � e more simple methods are wearing spiked “aerating sandals”, which poke holes in the ground as you walk, or using a garden fork to poke holes in the ground by hand over a small area.

For larger areas (or lawns in desperate need) “plug” aerators are available, which are designed to be pushed or pulled by hand or attached to the back of a garden tractor. � ese hollow-tined aerators remove small plugs from the soil as they pass over your lawn, which allows for the greatest penetration of nutrients.

FEED ORGANICALLY – BUT ONLY IF NECESSARYFeeding your lawn will rarely be necessary, especially if you take care not to mow too short and you feed your lawn the grass clippings during the growing season. Every now and then, however, your lawn may bene� t from a boost of nitrogen. Once the weather warms up, your grass should turn green and start to grow on its own. If it doesn’t, rake a thin layer of compost over the entire lawn or apply a complete organic lawn feed.

If after several weeks of warm weather, growth continues to be slow, repeat the process in the summer and consider adding a topdressing to your lawn in the autumn to improve its overall soil structure. Remember, overfeeding your lawn only encourages excess growth, which results in more work for you (more mowing), so don’t do it unless absolutely necessary.

//HOMEBUYERS’ HELP

» by SHANE’S LANDSCAPING & CONTRACTING LTD.

Even though your lawn goes into dormancy during the winter, frigid temperatures, drying winds and a lack of snow cover can leave it looking tired and ragged once the snow melts. Here are a few simple steps you can take in the spring to get your lawn o to a good start for the growing season.

RAKE THOROUGHLYAs soon as the ground thaws and soil becomes somewhat dry and workable, go over your lawn with a rake. During the course of the winter, most lawns accumulate a variety of small branches, sticks and leaves. Raking will remove accumulated debris and “massage” dead grass blades out of the soil to help prevent the build-up of thatch. It will also o er you the opportunity to inspect your lawn carefully for problems areas which may have been loosened by the winter’s frost heaves.

REPAIR DAMAGED AREASRepair any places where the grass has worn away, either by laying down sod or by over-seeding. • To install sod, use a spade to create clean edges and

remove enough soil so that the sod will be level with the surrounding turf. Use a rake to loosen and level the soil, lay in your sod, tamp it down with your foot and water it well. Water the new sod at least every other day or so for the next two weeks, or until you are certain the new grass has taken hold.

• To seed the area, rake the area vigorously to loosen the soil, scatter seed on it, cover the seed with dusting of soil, then water with a gentle spray, taking care not to dislodge any seed. Keep the soil moist by watering occasionally until the new grass has sprouted and reached a height of at least two inches.

ALYSSA RICHARD is the Founder and

CEO of RateHub.ca – a financial product comparison site that

aims to empower Canadians to make smart

financial decisions.

Interest rates aren’t going anywhere. The Bank of Canada announced on April 15 that it was going to leave its overnight lending rate at 0.75 per cent for another six weeks – and depending on the picture our future economy paints, it could be for a lot longer than that.

The overnight rate has only been sitting at 0.75 per cent for a little less than three months now, after Governor Stephen Poloz finally decided to cut it down from the one per cent it had held steady at for nearly 4.5 years. That decision was made in January, in an attempt to shield highly indebted Canadians from the negative impacts of the significant drop in oil prices (and job losses that have occurred as a result).

With oil prices staying low and the economy continuing to suffer, it was presumed that the central bank would further cut its rate in March and again today – but that didn’t happen.

In a speech he made just a few weeks ago, Poloz announced that, “the first quarter of 2015 will look atrocious, because the oil shock is a big deal for us.” And it did. “The Canadian economy is estimated to have stalled in the first quarter of 2015. The ultimate size of this impact will need to be monitored closely.”

As of today, total CPI inflation is at one per cent, which reflects the drop in consumer energy prices, and core inflation remains close to two per cent. Unfortunately, first quarter results will place additional pressure on inflation, but GDP growth is expected to rebound later this year. And the central bank continues to offer messages of hope that the economy should reach and remain at full capacity by the end of 2016.

If the economy doesn’t pick up, we could see another interest rate cut this year. But our guess is Poloz will monitor it for a longer period of time than just three or four months before making that decision. The next interest rate announcement is on May 27, so we’ll see what the future holds then.

BUILT TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME

Walton’s McConachie and VITA

For Walton Development and Management L.P. (Walton), “sustainable” isn’t a buzzword. It’s the way the company thinks about – and develops – its communities.

Walton takes a long-term approach to land development, building communities for today and tomorrow. Its developments are master-planned and designed in collaboration with local residents for the benefit of all community stakeholders. “Our goal is to build communities that will stand the test of time: hometowns for present and future generations,” says Jill Curtis, marketing specialist for Walton.

“Our industry-leading expertise in real estate investment and land development uniquely position us to responsibly transition land into sustainable communities where people live, work and play.”

The company’s McConachie and VITA at Crystallina Nera are two examples of that.


McConachie McConachie offers the benefits and excitement of buying a new home, while providing great value and the lifestyle of an established neighbourhood.

Located in the city’s northeast – extending north from 167 avenue, just east of 66 street – Walton’s eight-stage McConachie offers prospective homebuyers unbeatable existing and upcoming amenities, plus the ability to tour the streets of existing stages in the community to get a sense of the blending of architectural styles and lifestyle the community offers.

“McConachie is a community you can move into without waiting for the world to build around you,” Curtis says. With crystal waters, parks and winding tree-lined trails, McConachie is a family-oriented community with an abundance of both natural and commercial amenities nearby

“McConachie is a community you can move into without waiting for the world to build around you,” Curtis says. With crystal waters, parks and winding tree-lined trails, McConachie is a family-oriented community with an abundance of both natural and commercial amenities nearby


//COMMUNITY PROFILE

– as well as major thoroughfares. And that’s making it one of the most desirable community’s in Edmonton.

McConachie is across the street from the Hollick Kenyon Shopping complex and a short distance to the new Manning Crossing and Clareview Recreation Centre. It’s also proximate to the Anthony Henday, allowing for quick and easy commutes for anyone working in other (and all) areas of the city. And for those preferring public transportation, there are bus stops aplenty, and the LRT is close by.

And while the existing amenities are exceptional, there are many new and exciting things coming to McConachie, too. Curtis: “Stage 5 is welcoming a new trailhead park – perfect for relaxing or throwing a ball. And further north, we’re introducing an extensive park complete with a playground. Th ere is a new grocery store coming to the community and Edmonton Catholic Schools is proceeding with its new K-9 school in the district campus site.”

New lots have just been released in Stage 5, including lots backing onto the new playground and onto a natural area. “Our builders are actively selling and building in Stage 5, which is nestled behind the natural tree area in the community.”

Th e community presents eye-catching Arts and Crafts architectural styling, featuring exteriors that boast individualized appearances with gables, porches and a variety of tasteful and relaxing colours. And there’s something in McConachie for everyone, including condos, semi-detached homes, rear-laned homes, bungalows and front-attached-garage homes.

Th e Carlisle Group is building condominiums, south of the natural tree area. Royal West is building stunning adult bungalow villas called Air Harbour. In Stage 5 north of the tree line, there are semi-detached single front garage homes by Innovations by Jayman that opened earlier this year, and rear-laned homes being crafted by Innovations by Jayman, Morrison Homes and Sabal Homes. Jayman MasterBUILT, Morrison Homes and Sabal Homes are also off ering front attached garage homes.

To learn more about McConachie, visit mcconachie.ca or visit McConachie yourself, and tour the showhomes. Simply take either Manning Drive or 66 Street to 167 Avenue. When travelling on 167 Ave. turn north on McConachie Way and follow the signs to the showhomes.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO WIN IN MCCONACHIE THIS SPRING! Each week, Walton is giving away a four-pack (two adult and two child) of the Edmonton Attractions Pass 2015 Ultimate Pass, providing winners 16 new experiences all over the city this year.

Plus, one lucky new homeowner in McConachie will win a $5,000 VISA Gift Card. When you purchase a new home from a participating home builder in Walton’s McConachie, and all conditions of sale are removed, the homebuyer will receive one entry into a prize draw for $5,000 VISA gift card.

VITA at Crystallina NeraLocated in vibrant north Edmonton just east of 82 Street and north of 180 Avenue, VITA at Crystallina Nera presents a fresh, modern community feel, while maintaining very attrac-tive price points. “VITA is unique in the sense that it is one of Edmonton’s fi rst master-planned communities to off er a mod-ern architectural style infl uenced by urban contemporary design,” Curtis says.

VITA at Crystallina Nera is home to three distinctive architectural styles – Modern, Prairie and Craftsman. “We’ve seen some fabulous elevations from our home builders, particularly in the modern styles. It’s creating a unique, yet timeless streetscape,” she says.

Th e community is ideally located: It’s close to existing shopping, restaurants, recreation centres, major transportation routes (including quick access to the Anthony Henday) and transit. Th ere are walking paths that lead to existing nearby storm water ponds and will tie into the future school site and pond in Stage 2.

Stage 1 is currently selling, and Stage 2 will likely be constructed next year, which will include a storm-water pond and a large school site.

Stage 1 includes condos, rear-landed and front-attached-garage homes for sale. Carlisle Group is building aff ordable condos called VITA Estates, Homexx, Sabal Homes and Morrison Homes are crafting rear-laned homes that start in the low $300,000s. Homexx is off ering homes with front-attached garages.

� ere are currently eight showhomes in VITA at Crystallina Nera, so head down to the community – and beautiful homes – for yourself. When travelling on 167 Avenue, turn north on 82 Street, then turn east onto Crystallina Nera Way (180 Avenue). Turn north into VITA and the showhomes will be on your right.
