buying real estate is a great investment. For those looking to buy their first piece, it can often seem like the most logical step to take when you start putting the numbers down on paper. You need a place to live, so there’s

always going to be that payment to make, your bills are pretty stable whether you rent or buy, and when moving in with a significant other the budget becomes more flexible, making it seem silly to let months slip by without investing into your own home.

But the reality is that lending has tightened up. Where once upon a time a 40-year amortization easily turned high payments into affordable payments, the 25-year cap on insured mortgages means a lot more down or a lot less mortgage.

If you have more than 20 per cent as a down payment then there are more options, but if you want to get into the game with your first-time-buyer’s five percent down, you’re going to be looking at an additional premium at closing for insurance on your mortgage, and you’re also looking at the maximum amortization of 25 years.

The trend, as the Genworth Canada report published in this issue of Resale Homes explains, is that people are buying smarter. They’re saving longer and putting down more instead of overextending their finances and taking the minimum at every spot. While it may take a little longer to accumulate a down payment, it’s a smart approach and should work out well for firsttime homebuyers!

y our next home needs to fulfill more than just a change in location – it needs to deliver a level of comfort, convenience and quality that you’ve likely not considered on your previous journeys for a place to call home.

Perhaps a bungalow is in order to help you get around better? More bedrooms? Fewer bathrooms and general living space to help minimize housework? And what about maintenance – does a condo make more sense for you this time around?

Whatever your needs, it’s imperative that you create a realistic shopping list so you can assess a home’s potential without any distractions. With so many beautiful communities available in Ontario, we’re here to help you find a home with all the bells and whistles you want and need.

Homebuyers this year are fortunate to be able to take advantage of a moderation in real estate prices and low interest rates.

Your journey starts here. We hope you enjoy our latest issue. Do let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you.

First-time homebuyers showing their rational side Genworth Canada releases results of homeownership study

According to a national survey conducted by Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada (Genworth

Canada), first-time homebuyers are adjusting to the new mortgage requirements and making informed choices about homeownership.

The annual poll, completed in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Credit Counselling Services (CACCS), asked 1,514 Canadians questions about their financial well-being and preparedness. The 2013 survey revealed that there was a significant rise in the number of recent first-time buyers who say they put down more than 20 per cent on their homes (56 per cent vs. 36 per cent in the 2012 survey). In fact, the number of people that said it is getting harder to save for that down payment is on the decline (50 per cent vs. 55 per cent in 2012) with more first-time buyers finding it easier to save money nine per cent, up from five per cent in 2012). In addition, only 17 per cent of respondents thought it was a good time to buy, suggesting that low interest rates alone are not enough to entice Canadians to purchase a home.

“Canadians entering the real estate market are making financially astute choices by saving longer and putting down larger deposits on their homes,” said Brian Hurley, Chairman and CEO of Genworth Canada. “They continue to value homeownership and are being responsible about the way they enter into mortgage debt. This trend bodes well for a soft-landing of the housing market.”

Among first-time homebuyers, the proportion saving for less than two years has decreased by nearly 30 per cent, while the proportion saving for more than five years rose by more than 50 per cent. This appears to indicate that fewer first-time homebuyers feel a sense of urgency about entering the real estate market, which is consistent with the fact that fewer expect house prices to rise in the next twelve months.

“There is still a strong need for Canadians to have a better grasp on their financial situation,” said Henrietta Ross, CEO of CACCS. “More than 40 per cent don’t think their credit rating reflects them or don’t know what their credit rating is. Counselling could help ensure they are financially prepared to enter and maintain substantial investments, such as homeownership.”

The interviews were conducted by Environics Research Group using an online methodology during the week of February 11-19, 2013.

Genworth MI Canada Inc. (TSX: MIC) through its subsidiary, Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada (Genworth Canada), is the largest private residential mortgage insurer in Canada. The Company provides mortgage default insurance to Canadian residential mortgage lenders, making homeownership more accessible to first-time homebuyers. Genworth Canada differentiates itself through superior customer service, a robust risk management framework and innovative processing technology. For almost two decades, Genworth Canada has supported the housing market by providing thought leadership and a focus on the safety and soundness of the mortgage finance system. As at December 31, 2012, Genworth Canada had $5.7 billion total assets and $3.0 billion shareholders’ equity. Find out more at www.genworth.ca.

Page 22: Hamilton Resale Home & Condo - 13 Apr., 2013

It’s time to end the winter hibernating and revitalize your home for another busy spring and summer season. As you plan the spring cleaning, consider using the opportunity to think about how to improve your home’s

energy efficiency. There are some cleaning tasks that will help save energy and money. Dave Walton, a resident expert at Direct Energy, shares some practical tips guaranteed to help you get your home in shape, while saving money:

›› Examine windows and insulation. Up to 30 per cent of a home’s heating and cooling costs can be lost through poorly fitted windows and doors. Caulking and weather stripping or upgrading to new energy efficient windows can save homeowners approximately $150 per year on their energy bill.

›› Don’t forget about the light bulbs. When replacing them, remember that an energy-saving light bulb can last up to 10 times longer than a normal bulb and use up to 75 per cent less energy. You’ll save yourself some money and won’t have to worry about this regular chore.

›› Remember your filters. Replacing or washing your furnace filters allows a central air conditioning system to run more efficiently too. Clogged filters mean your furnace motor has to work harder, which eats up more energy. Filters should be washed or replaced every three months (some are 30 days), so start by making this part of your spring-cleaning routine. Try adding a reminder to your calendar for the first day of each quarter.

›› Consult the experts. Consider booking a pre-summer maintenance with a licensed technician who can make sure your air conditioner is summer-ready and able to perform more efficiently when higher temperatures put it to the test.

Additional energy-efficient tips can be found online at www.davescorner.ca. www.newscanada.com. NC

slate has to be wrapped in moving blankets. At Two Men and a Truck - Canada, we also stretch wrap them so we can get a better grip. The slate pieces should not be laid flat in the truck, as being jostled during the trip will create stress points that could cause cracks. The slate pieces should be secured vertically at the sides of the truck and should not come into contact with anything else during transport.

When it’s time to eassemble the table at the other end, it’s important to realize just how heavy it is and place the sections of it carefully, realizing that its weight can have an effect on floor-bearing capacity. Ideally, pool tables should go into a basement on a concrete floor.

{Pianos}It takes a minimum of three people to move a piano. The process begins with removing the pedal system, which must happen in a systematic way for the number of bolts that hold it onto the instrument. Pad wrap everything with moving blankets and stretch wrap each piece for added protection.

The process for dismantling the rest of the piano depends on the type. Usually, one leg has to be lifted and unbolted to come off. We leave the bolting system attached and pad wrap & stretch wrap each leg so nothing is lost. At this point, we lower the piano gently on its side onto a special piano sled. Then, we remove the second leg while at least two people are supporting the piano. At this point, we

shift the piano to the upright position at the edge of the sled, which has an indentation to accommodate the lid overlap so the piano does not touch the floor. It sits on a cushioned blanket and secured to the sled to prevent pressure points while being moved. Then it becomes easy to remove the final leg.

We pad wrap and stretch wrap the piano body, then ease it onto a special dolly and wheel it out the door. The piano should remain on the dolly, which becomes part of it during transport. We strap it to the side wall of the truck, halfway between the two wheel bases, for the least amount of jostling. Once it is reassembled in the new home, it is critical that the owners have the instrument retuned, as there will be some unavoidable changes from the move.

Whether it is a pool table or piano, consider hiring a professional moving company to transport items such as pool tables and pianos. Neither you nor an inexperienced mover should be learning the process while handling your large, bulky possessions.

{Pool Tables}A pool table must be disassembled before moving it. Depending on the age of the table, you may or may not have the original documentation on how it was put together and how to take it apart. Usually, the side rails and pockets come off, and the felt must be carefully removed.

Depending on the size of the table, it will be composed of up to three large, heavy pieces of slate that comprise the playing surface. These slate surface pieces are often held into place on the frame with screws covered with bees wax. You have to know to look for these; otherwise you can do damage. Each section of

We want consumers to be comfortable with the financial responsibilities of

owning a home, so it’s important to determine what you can afford in order to maintain a reasonable lifestyle once you’ve made the leap,” says Phil Soper, president of Royal LePage Canada.

To assess if you are ready for homeownership, Soper offers these guidelines:

1. Determine your net worth. Take your assets (earnings, investments, savings, vehicles and other items you own) and subtract your liabilities (car loans, lines of credit, overdrafts and credit cards). A positive number is a good sign that you may be ready to purchase your first home.

2. Hire a real estate agent. Top agents have extensive experience and demonstrate dedication and commitment to helping their clients. Ask your family and friends for a referral, or explore real estate websites (such as www.royallepage.ca) to read profiles on agents, including their areas of expertise and languages spoken. A real estate agent will have knowledge of accurate, real-time market data to leverage your negotiating position, as well as access to properties often even before they are listed.

3. Make a list of your basic needs. Is it important to you to be close to transit and amenities? Do you intend to grow your family or do you have a need for extra space? Determine the factors essential to you in a home and which ones you may be able to live without. This will help you narrow your search and choose a home that is within your financial means. NC

Homebuyers’ ResouRce section

You love the home, see what you can afford! Compare mortgage rates for your best deal

Calculate your mortgage payments using the mortgage payment calculation chart

Pick up any newspaper today and no one could blame you if you got a little worried about the state of the economy or the fear of a pending market correction in Canadian real estate. Are Canadians taking on too much debt? Have mortgage rules

gone too far? Is there a housing bubble about to burst? What if there is a market correction?

The real question is, do Canadian homeowners or prospective buyers need to be concerned? Every time there is talk about a market correction, the tone is quite negative. But let’s take a closer look at that situation: rather than argue about whether we may have a market correction, let’s analyze what it really means to Canadians if there is one.

First-time homebuyers:If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you have likely felt the pinch of the rising cost of housing, and the new mortgage rules certainly haven’t helped any either. So a slight market correction would be welcome news for you; you can still get into homeownership with only five per cent down, but since your maximum amortization is now limited to only 25 years, a drop in pricing is exactly what you’ll need to be able to get into this market. ConClusion: A market correction is a good thing for you.

Current homeowner buying or selling – moving up or downsizing:If you are a homeowner and you’re looking for the right time to sell your house so you can buy another, you may be concerned that the price of your current home is dropping. But, let’s assume the value of the house you are selling drops by 10 per cent. Let’s also assume that you plan to buy another home (whether upsizing or downsizing). Remember that the person selling their home to you is going through the exact same thing. In other words, if the value of your home dropped 10 per cent, so too did the value of the new home you are buying. Focus on what your bottom line “net” is, rather than what you thought or had hoped to sell your home for.ConClusion: The net effect of a market correction is likely zero.

Real estate investor or second-home buyer:If you are buying real estate as an investment, this is the perfect market condition for you. When there are more sellers than buyers, you have more bargaining power. If you are able to negotiate a better deal and pay a little less for the property you are looking for, it simply makes the deal that much more affordable.ConClusion: You should be hoping for a market correction.

Current homeowner with no plans to sell:The main reason we worry about a housing correction is the fear that it will

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T FRET OVER A

‘market correction’erode our home equity and net worth. A significant amount of net worth of Canadians is tied up in their home equity, which is the foundation for a lot of retirement plans – so there is obvious concern.

But should there be? For the majority of Canadians, the plan is to stay in their current house for at least the next three to five years. So here’s a simple fact: equity is only gained or lost the day you sell. In other words, if the value of your house were to drop by 10 per cent tomorrow, you may feel anxiety over the drop in your net worth – but it would only be on paper unless you actually sold your house tomorrow. If you have no intention of selling soon and you can still afford your monthly payments, then all you need to do is sit and wait until the market bounces back – which it has always done for the past 100 years.ConClusion: A market correction may very well have zero impact on you.

In the end, the headlines will continue to talk of impending market corrections. The key for you is to decipher one of three things: 1. Is this a real concern for you?2. Is this an opportunity? Or,3. Are you getting worked up about nothing?

Bottom line: a lot of people will fret about this topic over the water cooler tomorrow morning – but the majority of them really don’t need to.

1. Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income between you and your spouse.

2. Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

3. 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.

4. Refer to the chart below. 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 choose the 25-year amortization).

5. Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow. Divide by 1,000.

6. Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

7. 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.
