IT PAYS TO SHOP AROUND
Many of us have no problem shopping around when we purchase a car or look for a deal on a vacation. But it’s a different story when it comes to the moment homeowners must renew their mortgage.
When you purchased your home, your choices may have been limited — after all, budget, home size and location are often non-negotiable — but you were still able to shop around. What will you do when it’s time to renew your mortgage? In a recent survey commissioned by BNN Bloomberg, 51 per cent of Canadians polled said they did not plan to change lenders to get a better mortgage rate when renewing, and another nine per cent said they did not even know it was an option. These days, renewing a mortgage and terms to suit your needs is more important than ever. With all the interest rate increases we’ve seen over the last year, it’s likely that when you renew, you won’t be able to get the same mortgage – or terms – that you did a few years ago. That means if you don’t search around for the best deal, you may end up paying more every month.
On page 12 of this issue, writer Alisa Aragon-Lloyd explains how and why you should shop around when it comes time to renew your mortgage.
Also in this issue is a feature by Michelle Hopkins on island life and why so many British Columbians choose Vancouver Island as their home. Between more affordable housing prices, magnificent beaches, a hip arts scene, award-winning restaurants and outdoor activities, you may decide island living is in your future.
Thank you for picking up this copy of New Home + Condo Guide. As always, it is filled with interesting articles to help you find and enjoy your new home. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

CELEBRATING THE BEST OF THE BEST The Canadian Homebuilder’s Association of BC (CHBA BC) recently announced the finalists for the 2023 Georgie Awards. The 31st annual awards gala will take place Sat., May 20 at Vancouver’s Hyatt Regency Hotel. “We’re really excited about the quality of this year’s finalists. Every year we see something new, and the 2023 Georgie Awards are no exception,” says Neil Moody, CEO of CHBA BC. “There are some incredible projects that are on the cutting edge of today’s homebuilding trends.” CHBA BC members strive to implement new, high-performance technology, energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and the newest designs into their homebuilding process. Pictured above: the 2022 Georgie Award Winner for a Custom Home valued under $1M by Hara Homes, project Ranelagh in Burnaby.

DID YOU KNOW?
The city of Vancouver is seeking public input on a proposal to allow triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, and sixplexes in neighbourhoods across the city. The feedback will help shape draft recommendations on missing middle options. Info: shapeyourcity.ca/multiplexes
Community focus
Last month, the new Bettie Allard YMCA opened its doors. It’s a partnership between Concert Properties and the City of Coquitlam. David Podmore, CEO of Concert Properties, says, “The YMCA fills a long-sought need, and combined with the additional housing we are building, this new community will help support
the rapidly growing Tri-Cities/ Burquitlam neighbourhoods.” The 55,000-sq. ft. facility features an aquatic centre, gymnasium, walking track, fitness gym, family centre, community spaces and a café. In addition, there is an underground park-and-ride lot for the Burquitlam SkyTrain station, and a community policing station.
Decorating incentive
For a limited time only and subject to terms and conditions, Wesgroup Properties is offering a decorating allowance of up to $70,000 on all its available homes at its westside Dunbar & 39th project. “We still have a good selection of thoughtfully laid out, concrete homes for sale that will be move-in ready this fall,” says Joey Coupland, vice-president of sales at Wesgroup Properties. “It is a great time to buy pre-sale; take your time to select the perfect home, find the perfect furnishings, and move in with the bumps of last year behind us.”

Grand opening
Foxridge Homes will unveil its new Westbrooke Willoughby fourbedroom, 3,350 sq. ft. display home during its Grand Opening celebration on Sat., Feb. 25, from noon to 5 p.m. There will be mini doughnuts from Tin Lizzy Concessions and hot beverages on site. Located at 20447 76B Ave., in Langley, this launches phase three of the Westbrooke Willoughby development. Phases one and two have sold out and this new collection consists of 22 nonstrata, freehold four-bedroom row homes ranging from 2,080 to 2,274 sq. ft., plus three- to six-bedroom duplexes. The row homes are slated for completion in late 2023.
SHOP AROUND AND SAVE MONEY
While most Canadians spend a lot of time and effort shopping around for their initial mortgage, it’s not generally the case when it’s time to renew.
Instead, many people are complacent and are happy just to renew, even if it’s not the best deal that they can get.
In a recent survey from BNN Bloomberg, 51 per cent of Canadians polled said they did not plan to change lenders to get a better mortgage rate when renewing, and another nine per cent said they did not even know it was an option.
As well, 52 per cent of respondents said they have a plan in place to deal with higher mortgage payments, with 38 per cent of those indicating they will cut back on their spending, nine per cent saying they will use their savings, and two per cent planning to take on additional debt.
Finally, two per cent of respondents said they would need to sell their house due to higher mortgage rates.
IT PAYS TO SHOP AROUND
Most borrowers simply sign and send back the renewal that is first offered by their existing lender, without shopping around for more favourable terms and rates. Lenders know this, and for this reason, they offer a decent rate. But if you complain or show them better offers, they will get more competitive. For that reason, trusting your lender to offer a favourable rate up front is the worst thing you can do at renewal.
Instead, you can engage the services of a mortgage broker at renewal time who will ensure you receive the best mortgage options and rate catered to your specific needs. Just because your lender had the best available product or rate for you one, three, or five years ago when you obtained a mortgage, it does not mean the same holds true in today’s market.
With products and rates changing on an on-going basis, it’s difficult to know what the best offering is for your unique situation without doing some investigating. A mortgage broker makes the process easier. They look at every rate and product
$500,000 MORTGAGE FOR A 60-MONTH TERM
change from each lender, including banks, credit unions, and monolenders (lenders that only work with mortgage experts) to find the best deal for you. The services of a mortgage broker are free because they are paid by the lender based on the mortgage amount rather than the interest rate.
It’s important to remember that the interest rate is not the only factor you should consider. Finding the best mortgage with favourable terms also matters. A portability option, pre-payment privileges, including lump-sum payments, the option to increase your mortgage payments between 15 per cent and 20 per cent without penalties, and how penalties are calculated if you break the term of the mortgage, should all be considered.
Below is an example of how an interest rate comparison can help you save thousands of dollars.
By shopping around at renewal time, the savings were $8,760 (over five years) in mortgage payments by increasing monthly cash flow, plus an additional $12,256 (in interest costs and by having a lower balance at maturity after the five years).

ISLAND LIVING
A LAID-BACK VIBE
AND RELAXED PACE
by MICHELLE HOPKINS
With its unique blend of nature and culture, Vancouver Island draws new residents to its coastlines because of its magnificent beaches, hip arts scene, award-winning restaurants and outdoor activities. Along with some of the warmest weather and lushest scenery in Canada, Vancouver Island’s lifestyle is quite desirable.
Victoria’s status as a supremely liveable city is well known, as is its unhurried pace and joie de vivre. In a point2homes’ Top Millennial Hot Spots in 2021 survey that ranked 85 Canadian cities, Victoria, with its picturesque waterfront and heritage buildings, ranked eighth overall and
number one for climate. So, is it any surprise that this walkable harbour city is appealing to so many?
“At the end of the day, Victoria offers all of the urban amenities of a large metropolis, yet it is so easy to get away and wind down in nature,” says Michael Sikich, president of The Agency Real Estate Marketing. “The island exudes a laid-back vibe … it moves at a more relaxed pace than the mainland.”
For the serious foodie, Greater Victoria has a thriving culinary scene, with the most restaurants per-capita in Canada and a strong farm-to-table offering. Beyond its hospitality culture,
The Scene at Langford
there are local farmers’ markets, quaint shops, large name-brand stores and services all over the island.
Besides its quality of life, thousands of transplants move for the close proximity to the great outdoors. Whether your pursuit of choice is biking the Hartland Mountain Bike Park, golfing at the Bear Mountain Golf Course, taking a scenic walk along Dallas Road Beach, or fishing, boating or surfing; it’s all here.
Neil Blainey, director of projects with Island Realm Real Estate, agrees with Sikich’s description of this vibrant urban lifestyle. Best of all, Vancouver Island housing prices are still reasonably priced when compared to the Lower Mainland – between 10 to 20 per cent less.
Its housing market is being boosted by factors such as steady job creation and one of the lower unemployment
rates in the country. According to Statistics Canada, the unemployment for Victoria Census Metropolitan Area stood at 3.5 per cent in January 2020.
“You can still purchase a townhome on average for $750,000, while a starter home can be purchased beginning in the mid-$700,000,” says Blainey, a lifelong resident of Victoria.
Home to two highly regarded universities — University of Victoria and Royal Rhodes University – Vancouver Island has several good elementary and high schools, as well as top-ranking schools like Brentwood College, St. Michaels and Shawnigan Lake.
Vancouver Island is well served by a rich network of travel options, whether it’s by transit, ferry, or by air via seaplane. For the business traveller, there are five airports on the island, including the Victoria International Airport.
If there is one down side to living on Vancouver Island, Sikich and Blainey agree that being at the mercy of the ferry can be an issue.
“The ferry can be a nuisance but if you are in a hurry to get to the mainland, you can quickly catch a Heli jet or float plane,” says Sikich.

IMPROVE YOUR INDOOR AIR QUALITY WITH
SENSIBO ELEMENTS
Being couped up indoors during the pandemic for many has really brought the subject of air quality to the forefront. And as the mercury plummets, we once again find ourselves spending a significant time in enclosed spaces, often wondering, “Am I actually breathing in clean air?”
Some of the things you experience, such as headaches, chest congestion, coughs and fatigue, amongst other symptoms, could be signs of bad air, which could potentially negatively impact your long-term health.
To “see” what’s floating in the air, climate-tech company Sensibo launched a new product – Sensibo Elements – a smart indoor air quality monitor. It’s a small and sleek gadget partnered with a companion app designed to monitor select harmful contaminants and alert you so you can take action.
MONITOR POLLUTANTS
It monitors pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), a pool of various pollutants, PM2.5 – tiny particles that can get into our lungs – and ethanol. It can also track temperature and humidity, and then calculates a total overall
air-quality score in real-time using its own algorithms.
There are no instructions in the box, but it’s simple to set up. Download the iOS or Android app or use the web. Select add a new device. You will be guided to plug in the device with the included USB-C cable and charger. Scan the QR code on the back of the device, or key in the number, then follow the instructions. If you have multiple devices, you can use the same app to set up different locations.
Sensibo Elements is cleverly designed to sit vertically. It comes with a small removable lightweight plastic frame that doubles as a stand, so you can keep it on your desk or
GREG GAZIN
remove it and mount it on a wall. The vertical orientation, along with a tilt adjustment, allows for the sensors to better sample the air for a more accurate reading. There’s a light at the front that will glow green, orange or red to indicate the air quality. This light can also be turned off.
KEEP INFORMED
A high-level alert will cause the app to send an notice to your phone and offer a tip. For example, a high TVOC reading will appear as a text message on your phone, with a suggestion to open a window to circulate some air. I guess that’s fine, as long as it’s not winter here in Canada.
You can keep tabs on your air quality through the app dashboard. It gives you individual readings for each element it’s monitoring and a total air quality score. You can also view detailed pollution graphs of each element by hour and by day to
device such as Sensibo Elements to help us know when we’re at risk from bad air, is just sensible.
Overall, Elements is a neat little device capable of sensing some of the more common pollutants and immediately alerting you to take action. The detection of ethanol (which I seem to have at home) is an added bonus, which I have yet to see on other air quality monitors.
see changes over time. Weekly and monthly stats require a Sensibo Plus premium subscription.
Sensibo Elements gives additional automation capabilities if you’ve already invested in the Sensibo ecosystem by way of an air purification system or AC controller. When Elements triggers an air quality alert, utilizing the Sensibo’s patented PureBoost technology, you can have your air purifier turn on its fan, or signal your Sensibo AC controller to turn on your AC fan so you can automatically circulate more air.
Toxic air is a real thing in our homes and not just something we see coming out of smokestacks. We’re exposed to it on a regular basis –particularly from dust and pollen or building materials, cleaning products and even some of the air fresheners we spray and candles we burn. So, beyond the obvious when we can actually smell something, having a
It has a nice form factor measuring 115 mm long by 115 mm wide by 29 mm high (147 by 130 by 65 mm with stand). It does not require a hub, but as it’s not designed to be battery operated, it does require you to be in proximity to an AC electrical plug.
The app is helpful in that it not only helps you monitor the various elements via the dashboard, it also generates graphs so you can keep an eye on the trends.
While I can appreciate the need for an additional revenue stream, given the full retail cost of the unit and the fact that not everyone looks at their devices every single day, charging a premium for all data beyond a day is a bit of a stretch. Charging for beyond a month might be more in line.
Premium subscriptions are reasonable: $6.49 per month or $3.33 per month billed annually. As an added bonus, yearly subscribers also get a two-year extended warranty.
Sensibo Elements comes with a desktop stand and power adapter. It retails for $435. It’s currently offered directly from Sensibo at an introductory price of $235, which the company says is reduced for the foreseeable future.

A Smarter Way to Live.
Think you know Surrey Central? Well think again, because a new residential tower is coming that’s going to change the way you think of this popular neighbourhood.
Introducing Lucent. Brought to you by Landa Global Properties, Lucent is a 26-storey high-rise that will become Surrey’s first to incorporate a robust offering of smart building and home technology to make daily life less complicated, more efficient, and a whole lot more fun.
Here’s just a hint of the many ways Lucent is poised to simplify your life. Keyless entry is enabled by facial recognition or a digital key, thus allowing residents to open doors with their phone or a smile. Give your visitors access to the spectacular lobby or secure parkade with a one-time code sent directly from your phone to theirs. When it’s time for a gathering of friends and family, booking one of the amenities spaces is as simple as pushing a button. It’s all part of the state-of-the-art Valet app that’s wowing homebuyers.
Need a helping hand balancing everything that’s happening in your life? Lucent’s concierge will be at your service. And, of course, there’s secure delivery lockers for your online purchases or other deliveries. Life just doesn’t get any easier.
Sophisticated by Design
Inside, Lucent offers a sleek, contemporary ambiance with elegant kitchens featuring sleek, two-tone cabinetry plus quartz counters and backsplashes, serenely luxurious ensuites, and spacious rooms filled with natural light.
But these homes are far more than just good looking—they’re smart homes too.
Every suite’s front door is equipped with a state-of-the-art smart lock that’s activated either from your phone or by thumbprint—no more fumbling with keys or fobs. Inside, residents will have the convenience of a smart thermostat. Most homes also include smart home technology integration
where there is a central panel that allows you to control everything from heat and light to what music is playing on your Sonos speakers. Plus, the exclusive collection of townhomes are all prewired for connection to your preference of security companies.
Amenities for Your Lifestyle
Level Three is where you’ll discover the heart and soul of active, high-energy living—over 11,500 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor amenities divided into three vibrant zones.
Get set to break a sweat in Lucent’s Fitness Zone, featuring a club-style gym with top-of-the-line fitness equipment, a spin studio featuring Peloton bikes, a dedicated yoga studio, plus a private workout studio with Lululemon’s Mirror, the very latest in high-tech fitness.
When you’re ready to unwind, the Entertainment Zone is where you’ll want to be. After a relaxing soak in the hot tub, perhaps a friendly game of pool or chill out in the fireside lounge.
And whether you’re looking for an inspiring place to work on a passion project, a change of scenery from the home
office, or a quiet place to study for exams, Lucent’s CoWorking Zone has you covered.
Then there’s Lucent’s Level 17 amenities. Boasting magnificent views in all directions, Level 17 brings a whole new dynamic to entertaining with over 5,000 sq. ft. of indoor/outdoor spaces. Invite friends for a culinary experience in the Executive Dining Lounge, followed by an après dinner stroll through the lush Sky Garden. In summer, the outdoor Sky Lounge is sure to become a hit for social gatherings—whether planned or impromptu.
