EDITOR’S NOTE THE CONDO CHOICE SUSAN LEGGE While a single-detached is the traditional home choice for many, highrise and lowrise suites, lofts and condominium townhomes have become a prime choice Editor-in-chief among homebuyers in the Calgary region – for first-time buyers, empty nesters, [email protected] and all life stages in between. Follow me on Twitter at Twitter.com/SusanLegge Not only does condominium living a ord you the opportunity to live in a Like us on Facebook! prime neighbourhood at a great starting price, when it’s time to move up you Search: Condo Guide can often opt to remain in the same neighbourhood, since many buildings and condo townhome communities o er a mix of designs and sizes, which allows families to relocate easily without having to change jobs or schools. Today’s condo communities generally have a range of sizes and prices that start at the “a ordable” end of the price spectrum. This spring, many builders are gearing up for their grand openings or have suites available for quick occupancy. It’s an exciting time to be shopping for a new condo, and you’ll see that popular communities still have a lot of buying activity, so don’t miss out on this excellent opportunity. Have a look through this issue and see what you think. The home of your dreams is waiting.LYDIA MCNUTT A CLEANER, GREENER HOMEEditor With the springtime awakening of the outdoors and Earth Day [email protected] on April 22, going Green is always a hot topic at this time of year. People haveFollow me on Twitter at a passion for all things eco, whether for Earth’s preservation, personal healthTwitter.com/LydiasTweets reasons, or for the money savings often associated with this way of life. Buyers of brand new homes enjoy the benefits of the newest and best environmentally friendly features that everyone wants these days, built right in from the ground up. So, if going Green is important to you, shop around and learn what each builder o ers. Not only will you be doing your part to protect the environment, but the Green benefits also extend to your wallet in the form of lower operating costs, and possibly higher resale value when you sell the place one day. Construction aside, think about all the little things you can do in your home that will make a di erence to the planet. Be passive! Using less does more than you think. Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent ones to reduce energy consumption, or install low-flow showerheads and faucets, if your builder hasn’t already done so. Once you make the initial change, you won’t give it a second thought. Green products, materials and services have become more accessible and a ordable. Check for municipal, provincial and federal rebates to help ease any financial burden. Going Green is not about celebrating Earth Day for one day. It’s about a lifestyle change, 365 days a year.10 NEW CONDO GUIDE | VOLUME 18 ISSUE 04 | NewHomeAndCondoGuide.ca

NORTHWEST IN THE NEWS16 What goes down will come up, CREA reports By Lydia McNutt Canadian real estate is a tale of two markets – the Prairies, and the rest, according to the latest resale forecast by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), with lower national sales in 2015 due to decreased home sales in Alberta. “National sales are now projected to reach 475,700 units in 2015, representing an annual decline of 1.1 per cent. This would place annual activity slightly above but still broadly in line with its 10-year average,” CREA reports. Looking into 2015, CREA predicts an uptick in activity across most provinces, thanks to the weakened Canadian dollar, mortgage rate declines and the boost in the U.S. economy. But that won’t positively impact the resale forecast for the Prairie provinces, where sales are expected to drag thanks to further declines in oil prices prompting potential buyers to wait while sellers continue to list. The biggest impact will be in Alberta, where home sales in 2015 are expected to fall 19.3 per cent – well below the elevated pace set in the last three years of seller’s market conditions. In the face of Alberta’s high-supply-low-demand scenario, Ontario and British Columbia are singing a very different tune with tightening inventory and increasing demand, resulting in price gains that surpass inflation this year at 2.5 and 3.4 per cent, respectively. Meanwhile, prices are expected to remain stable in other provinces, with the exception of Alberta, where “average price is forecast to fall by 3.4 per cent, reflecting a pullback in sales for luxury properties compared to homes in more affordable price segments,” according to CREA. But as they say, what goes up must come down – and vice versa. Looking ahead at 2016, national home sales are expected to increase 1.7 per cent to $482,700 units in 2016, in line with the anticipated economic recovery in Alberta and Saskatchewan. “Meanwhile, anticipated mortgage rate increases are expected to keep activity in check in markets where homes are already less affordable and prices have continued rising,” according to CREA, which forecasts the national average price to rise by a further 1.9 per cent to $424,100 in 2016.
