NOVEMBER 2016 - There’s a familiar saying about change being constant. This sentiment seems to have been on many of our minds more than ever, not just as the autumn leaves fall, signalling winter’s arrival, but as market shifts continue to hit the headlines.

“Changing market conditions compounded by a series of government interventions this year have put home buyers and sellers in a holding pattern,” Dan Morrison, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) president said.

“Potential buyers and sellers are taking a wait-and-see approach to try and better understand what these changes mean for them.”

That cautious approach is somewhat reflected in year-over-year statistics for October.

For instance, according to the REBGV, new listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled 3,981 in October 2016, representing a decrease of 3.5 per cent. That’s compared to the 4,126 units listed in October 2015.

Overall, however, those statistics also point to a 17 per cent decrease compared to September 2016 when VIRANI REAL ESTATE ADVISORS HEAD OFFICE THE BOULDERS THIRD FLOOR 2240 CHIPPENDALE ROAD WEST VANCOUVER, BC V7S 3J5 TEL 604.913.1000 FAX 1.888.812.2650

Is it time to stop looking for that pied-à-terre in the city or consider listing your home? We always encourage any of our current or prospective clientele to speak to our experts if they have any questions— large or small—about the market. Every home is unique, as is every real estate transaction. It might be the right time for your neighbour to sit back and enjoy the brisk winter walks while his home appreciates in value. And for you it’s perhaps the ideal opportunity to step up your home search.

Whatever decision your pondering, get in touch. Our team of professionals will help you plan for your future whether it’s just around the corner or further off on the horizon.

HORSESHOE BAY WEST VANCOUVER

Many people living or travelling through Metro Vancouver are missing out on one of the region’s best-kept secrets: Horseshoe Bay. There’s so much more to this alluring seaside village than just ferries zipping commuters to nearby Bowen Island or taking visitors to Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

Not surprisingly, this West Vancouver waterfront community on the mainland at the end of Highway 1 curves around Howe Sound. Its rugged shorelines are a leaping off point for fishing in Howe Sound, exploring offshore islets by kayak, or quite literally sailing into the sunset. But its thousand or so residents know there’s plenty to explore on land in this quiet locale that’s like a wilderness within Vancouver’s larger cityscape. There’s solitude to be found in Horseshoe Bay, but the village is hardly sleepy. Its waterfront main street is bustling with people who come here to get in on the action. They chow-down on that seaside staple: fish and chips at institutions like Troll’s (it’s been here since 1946), and C-Lovers. They browse locally run boutiques such as The Spirit Gallery, which is overflowing with aboriginal artwork including both investment pieces, like masks and bentwood boxes, to affordable jewellery and cool footwear. Locals and visitors can grab a fair trade organic coffee to go from the Lookout Coffee Shop, which they sip as they stroll the area’s hidden trails. In summer, the neighbourhood is at its busiest as people make this spot a destination for the day. For instance, over the past decade the family friendly annual Taste of the Bay event has been luring locals and visitors to sample the village’s best bites and beverages while surrounded by its spectacular scenery.

"Many people living or travelling through Metro Vancouver are missing out on one of the region’s best-kept secrets: Horseshoe Bay."

Those views will never change, but the village’s waterfront is evolving—in a good way. The West Vancouver Villages at Horseshoe Bay is an exciting project (celebrated architect Paul Merrick is leading the design) that’s primed to revitalize the eight-decade-old Sewell’s Marina and surrounding area. The commercial redevelopment includes an outsized but elegant boat house and a piazzastyle gathering place reminiscent of Italy’s oceanfront enclaves with an aesthetic that’s all about the coast. Luxury villas will complement the natural landscape while reflecting Vancouver’s architectural roots: West Coast Modernism.

Farther up the area’s hills, young kids from Horseshoe Bay (and nearby Eagle Harbour and Lions Bay) can kick off their education at Gleneagles Ch'axáý Elementary School on Marine Drive. For parents it’s an easy drop-off spot near the Gleneagles Golf Course and Club House, which offers lessons, a golf shop and gear rentals. Divers, however, can head to the Whytecliff Park. This 15-hectare park has free public tennis courts and swimming beaches, but it’s considered a gem for another reason: scuba diving. The Saltwater Marine Protected Area is home to an array of sea life including octopus, crab, anemones and even wolf eels. Water lovers who prefer to stay above the water can find ample moorage and activities at Thunderbird Marina on Fisherman’s Cove. Its moorage, storage, haul-out facilities are flanked by West Vancouver and Eagle Harbour yacht clubs. Both offer sailing school programs, races and more.

LOWER LONSDALE NORTH VANCOUVER

North Vancouver is famed for its four-season mountain playground that gives everyone the chance to get close to nature while shredding or snowshoeing on its slopes or hiking and biking through its network of woodsy trails. Lower Lonsdale, however, offers another advantage: proximity to water. This long-established North Vancouver neighbourhood has become synonymous with the shipbuilding industry and superb SeaBus system that brings people away from downtown’s density to this scenic shorefront.

At the turn of the 18th century, Lower Londsale was a bustling shipyard community that grew into Western Canada’s largest before it eventually shut down in the 1990s. It’s history hasn’t been lost though. The Burrard Dry Dock is now recognized as a Primary Heritage Site.

"As part of its plan, the city envisions summer festivals, nighttime concerts and outdoor skating—activities that bring communities "

The anchor of this enclave, however, has long been the Lonsdale Quay with its neon Q beckoning like a beacon (it’s 77 steps to the top of the tower). More than 80 vendors fill this waterfront marketplace that’s has been a meeting place for people since it opened more than 30 years ago for Expo '86. People can drink craft beer at Green Leaf Brewing, sip cappuccinos at Bean Around the World and stock up on farm fresh produce, seafood, meat and more. Pier 7 Restaurant and Bar offers a West Coast– inspired menu, plus the promise of cocktails served with an over-the-top view of Vancouver and beyond from its perch above the historic Victory Shipyards. On Friday nights from May to September, the Shipyards Night Market brings Shipbuilders’ Square to life with local artisans selling their goods, a beer garden serving local beer and cider and live music performances that go until 10 p.m.

While this hub of activity is no stranger to change, the Lower Lonsdale has been undergoing a dramatic shift that has already started to transform its once-tired facade into a revitalized destination for work, live and play. Last spring the City of North Vancouver announced its ambitious plan to develop The Shipyards – Lot 5 to create a compelling gathering space on the waterfront. As part of it's plan, the city envisions summer festivals, nighttime concerts and outdoor skating—activities that bring communities together in an fun-filled atmosphere.

Improvements have already been put in place at the Foot of Lonsdale, which aims to create more people-friendly spaces and better connections to the Spirit Trail. The playful wooden Megabench (made of Western red cedar milled in B.C.) is already drawing visitors and locals to the waterfront’s sinuous seating.

New high-rise homes are part of the Lower Lonsdale neighbhourhood’s enhancement, daringly dubbed “LoLo” for short. The Pier is Pinnacle International’s luxurious master-planned community on Burrard Inlet with several projects already in the works, including Atrium, Trophy and Cascade. This lively community also has a trio of elementary schools close by for young families, plus two secondary school to accommodate older kids in the years to come.

WEST END VANCOUVER

Vancouver’s West End just might be the city’s most diverse neighbourhood. With sandy beaches, parks and mountain views around every turn, it’s possibly the prettiest too. Located on Downtown Vancouver’s western edge, this compact enclave is loosely bordered by Burrard Street on the east, which draws a straight line from False Creek to the Vancouver Harbour. On the west this tight-knit community is hugged by the spectacular thousand-acre Stanley Park (the city’s first, it opened in 1888) that’s even larger than New York City’s famed Central Park.

This verdant Vancouver showpiece is also the backyard for West End residents who jog its peaceful trails, look for local wildlife (racoons, eagles, great blue herons and beavers all live here), catch a cricket match or take in a concert at Malkin Bowl.

The West End is also a densely populated neighbourhood with high-rises painting the skyline, yet it maintains a community appeal. Its eclectic mix of low-rise townhouses and compact condo buildings are interspersed among mature trees that line its traffic-calmed streets where new bike paths make it easy to explore. Even its roundabouts are artful diversions filled with tangled gardens tended by locals.

"Vancouver’s West End just might be the city’s most diverse neighbourhood.

With sandy beaches, parks and mountain views around every turn, it’s possibly the prettiest too. "

New condo developments include luxury projects like The Jervis (industrial designer and longtime resident, Niels Bendtsen, showcases his craftsmanship here), which continue to shape this always-evolving neighbourhood whose denizens include everyone from millennials to retirees. Robson Street still draws crowds to its big-name brand boutiques and buzzing restaurants. At its western end, the shopping stroll gives way to a mix of authentic Asian restaurants ranging from Japanese ramen houses and izayakas to Korean BBQ restaurants serving up authentic dishes.

The centre of the West End is bisected from east to west by Davie Street. The heart o f the LGTBQ community, it’s a hive of activity where can one find an array of restaurants, bakeries, bars and more.

And even though the West End is packed with people, green spaces are certainly not in short supply: all year round people head outside and commune with nature and their neighbours. Nelson Park, which stretches a city block between Thurlow and Bute streets, fronts a row of Victorian heritage houses that make up Mole Hill. In summer the Farmers Market takes over part of the street, adding to the always-lively atmosphere. The dog-friendly park includes a community garden and Lord Roberts Annex Elementary School.

Just blocks down the hill is King George Secondary School off Denman Street—the West End’s restaurant row. Here, the diversity continues with locally run favourites like Espana, which offers modern Spanish tapas in a sexy setting, and Cupcakes, a decadent bakery. Get to-go confections to cap off a beachside picnic at nearby English Bay. This iconic spot in the West End featured bathhouses back in its heyday but today it’s the launching point for kayakers, stand-up paddle boarders and events such as the annual fireworks festival.
