EDITOR’S NOTE

SAVING FOR YOUR DREAM HOME

MARLENE EISNER EMAIL: Marlene.Eisner@Nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

When I was growing up, it seemed so impossible to save money. If I wanted something special, like a new pair of boots or a sound system, I would look at my parents with soulful eyes and ask them to buy these things for me.

Sadly, the doe-eyed trick did not work. If I wanted expensive boots or even a trip down south with my friends, I had to save my allowance, or money from a part-time job, and pay for it myself. I wasní t a great saver so I didní t often get those boots, never mind that trip. Fast forward to now, and as an adult, Ií ve adjusted my habits and saving has become a routine.

Buying a new home is not the same as getting a new pair of boots, thatí s for sure, but the process of saving to purchase them is. It takes discipline. And it takes sacrifice. According to the website moneyunder30. com, a 2017 survey by the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics reveals that in 2015, Americans spent more than $3,000 a year on dining out. Thatí s $30,000 in 10 years ó just from eating out.

Ití s not necessary to give up going to restaurants altogether, but if you take a step back, you may be able to see where you can save, instead of spend.

Ití s never too late to start putting money away to buy a house. Remember, keep your eye on the prize. Before you know it, you will have the down payment you need for your next new home.

Cover Story DAVIE & NICOLA IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER

Davie & Nicola In the Heart of the West End

It’s a neighbourhood that’s unique in Vancouver. Eclectic and vibrant by nature, the West End is a place where people of all ages and outlooks come together.

It’s a place where art flourishes, where corner markets filled with fresh veggies are still a preferred shopping spot, and where you’ll often hear a spontaneous opera aria as you stroll down the sidewalk.

And coming soon to this oneof-a-kind neighbourhood is Davie & Nicola, a 21-storey boutique residence that’s already turning heads and capturing hearts.

16

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 9–23, 2019

ENVIABLE LOCATION

Located next to the famous Gabriola Mansion, Davie & Nicola puts you in the heart of everything that makes the West End such a desirable neighbourhood to call home. Here, it’s just steps to English Bay, with its sandy beach and stunning Vancouver sunsets. Stanley Park is a short walk or a pleasant bike ride — lots of Mobi stations nearby if you haven’t got your own two-wheeler yet.

The downtown financial district as well as Vancouver’s arts and cultural hub are within easy walking distance. Sports fans can take in a game at Rogers Arena or BC Place, and if you’re happier being a player more than a fan, you can check out the diverse range of local recreation centres or hop over the bridge to the North Shore and in no time, you’re on your way to Squamish and Whistler.

Ready for a night on the town? This is one tough-to-beat location.

Restaurants ranging from a quick get-me-going latté or after-work wine with friends to a romantic evening of fine dining by candlelight are found in every direction, offering foods that span the globe.

ELEVATED LIVING INSIDE

Davie & Nicola is poised to raise the bar on luxurious, downtown living.

Natural stones, marbles and woods reflect the historic feel of the West End while introducing a totally contemporary ambiance thanks to sleek Italian cabinetry, Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, and sophisticated NEST technology with programmable lighting and smart door locks. And here’s a detail you seldom find outside of custom homes: The main living areas will come with one-of-a-kind cove lighting with a dimmer that emits a softly diffused light Amenities? But of course. There’s a landscaped courtyard, a fullyequipped gym, a hotel-inspired lobby and a comfortable lounge. Just what you’d expect from your home.

The Davie & Nicola presentation centre is anticipated to open soon. To receive the most current information about these homes that range from one- to three-bedroom, register today at davieandnicola.com.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

OAKRIDGE A BUSTLING COMMUNITY

by AMANDA AIKMAN

Stretching from Granville Street to Ontario Street between West 41st and 57th avenues, Oakridge is a rectangular-shaped oasis in the heart of Vancouver. Home to the Oakridge Centre shopping mall, Langara College and the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver, this bustling area is one of the most recent – and constantly evolving – developments in the city.

LIFESTYLE

Oakridge is home to great shopping, exciting cultural activities and a number of large greenspaces and parks, such as Cambie Park, Tisdall Park and Columbia Park, which offer plenty of space for walking dogs, exercising or just escaping the daily grind of the city. Oakridge Centre shopping mall is also a huge attraction for locals and visitors alike.

Whether you’re looking for designer apparel at Oakridge Centre, meeting for a round of golf at the historical 20 NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 9–23, 2019

Langara Golf Course (built in 1926) or taking in a play at the Jewish Community Centre’s Norman Rothstein Theatre, you’ll never be bored in this young and lively neighbourhood.

THE VIBE

Mostly forest until the late 1950s, Oakridge was one of the last neighbourhoods to be developed in Vancouver. A unique and constantly growing community, it has an abundance of urban amenities, schools and parks to keep residents of every age and inclination entertained.

Oakridge’s tree-lined streets and safe community feel, combined with the short commute to the downtown core, make it a desirable home base for many.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Centrally located in Vancouver, Oakridge is well-connected by

car and public transit. The area features two stops on the Canada Line of the SkyTrain rapid transit system, which runs all the way from Vancouver’s waterfront to the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond. Bus links to Vancouver’s downtown and out to the University of British Columbia make it easy to get to schools, shops and other attractions throughout the city.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REST

Oakridge’s prime location may make it accessible, but it comes at a cost. Granville and Main Streets are popular thoroughfares that border the neighbourhood, while Oak and Cambie Streets, which run north-south through it, are known for being some of Vancouver’s busiest commuter roads. Luckily for residents, the area’s top-notch SkyTrain and bus connections can make your commute quick and convenient.

HOT SPOTS

OAKRIDGE CENTRE This upscale shopping mall has a selection of more than 70 brand name stores and more than 30 vendors offering a variety of meals and snacks to fuel your shopping trip. oakridgecentre.com

CAFE FORTYONE At this kosher cafe, the Mediterranean menu features a wide variety of dishes that are made with fresh ingredients. Hungry patrons can enjoy Middle Eastern and Eastern European fare, pizza, sandwiches, handcrafted chocolate and other delectable desserts, as well as hot beverages such as coffee with beans from JJ Bean Coffee Roasters and organic tea.

There’s the bus, SkyTrain and highway to get just about anywhere. I also like how the community centre and YMCA are nearby.”

– TSUBASA, STUDENT

“I like the friendliness of the people. There are a lot of parks and community centres that try to foster a sense of togetherness. It’s also a quiet, safe and clean neighbourhood; it’s a great place to think about starting a family one day.”

RBC LOWERS FIVE-YEAR FIXED RATE MORTGAGE

by TRISHA SALES

The big news last week in mortgage rates is RBCí s decision to cut its five-year fixed mortgage rate from 3.89 per cent to 3.74 per cent.

The bank hasní t lowered its posted five-year fixed rate since October 2017, and thereí s an expectation that other banks will soon follow ó great news for those out shopping for a home and a mortgage. ì RBC is the largest mortgage lender in Canada, so whenever they move their mortgage rates, we can expect that the other four banks will follow suit,î says James Laird, co-founder of Ratehub Inc. and president of CanWise Financial. ì We anticipate that the other big banks will soon have a publicly posted rate of 3.74 per cent as well. We have expected this move from lenders since bond yields dropped in December, after the Bank of Canadaí s announcement stating that future rate hikes would be slower and less frequent,î he says.

Laird continues: ì Canadians who need a mortgage this year should check back frequently with rate sites and mortgage providers. As the spring homebuying market approaches, many lenders will offer deep discounts and promotions in order to attract new customers. ì Anyone looking for a variable rate should act quickly, because the current stable interest rate environment is causing lenders to reduce the discounts being offered on variable rate mortgages.î 22 NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 9–23, 2019

Here are scenarios that help you, the homebuyer, break it all down according to Ratehub.caí s mortgage payment calculator: SCENARIO 1: $400,000 mortgage with a five-year fixed rate of 3.89 per cent Monthly Mortgage Payments: $2,080.

A homeowner with a 3.74 per cent rate Monthly Mortgage Payments: $2,048.

There’s a 0.15 per cent difference in the mortgage rates.

This would lower mortgage payments by $32 monthly or $384 yearly.

SCENARIO 2: $800,000 mortgage with a five-year fixed rate of 3.89 per cent Monthly Mortgage Payments: $4,161 A homeowner with a 3.74 per cent rate Monthly Mortgage Payments: $4,096 There’s a 0.15 per cent difference in the mortgage rates.

This would lower mortgage payments by $65 monthly or $780 yearly.

LIVING AND LEARNING IN THE LOWER MAINLAND FROM PRE-SCHOOL TO PHD: OPTIONS ABOUND IN METRO VANCOUVER

Whether youír e looking for a pre-school or a PhD, British Columbia is known for high-quality educational institutions, and Metro Vancouver has options to suit every student. With a provincial population recently topping five million, and still growing, new schools are popping up everywhere, and older institutions are being upgraded with cutting-edge technologies to keep up with the fast-paced and competitive educational scene.

Significant investments have been made by both the BC government and independent schools to ensure 24

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 9–23, 2019

that Metro Vancouver students have some of the best educational opportunities in North America.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Metro Vancouver encompasses 12 numbered school districts: Burnaby (41), Coquitlam (43), Delta (37), Conseil Scolaire Francophone (93), New Westminster (40), North Vancouver (44), Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows (42), Richmond (38), Sea to Sky (48), Surrey (36), Vancouver (39) and West Vancouver (45).

INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS

“

Vancouver School District is among the most ethnically diverse public school systems in Canada

”

region is Surrey, enrolling nearly 71,000 students and employing more than 4,000 teachers and administrators, followed by Vancouver School District, which is among the most ethnically diverse public school systems in Canada, with an annual enrollment of approximately 50,000 students in Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Though programs vary by district, each district includes elementary options for French Immersion, special needs support, English as a second language (ESL), and Vancouver specifically also offers public Montessori, arts-centric and even Mandarin options at selected locations. Applications for all programs of choice ñ including French Immersion, Montessori, Mandarin Bilingual, Aboriginal Focus School, and Fine Arts ñ began online in January. You will need a Personal Education Number (PEN) to apply.

Students born outside of Canada must first register at the District Reception and Placement Centre before applying at any school. More specific information is available on the DRPC page (left-hand column) of the Vancouver Board of Education website (vsb.bc.ca).

SECONDARY PUBLIC SCHOOLS These students across Metro Vancouver have many excellent specialty options, from competitive minischool and International Baccalaureate programs, to ESL, arts, technology, hockey and other competitive sports, outdoors, trades and more. For students who need more supportive or flexible learning environments, each district offers a variety of alternative schools with programs crafted for each individual studentí s learning needs. To learn more about what is offered where and how to apply to any

Metro Vancouver also has a thriving, world-class independent school community made up of religious schools, university prep schools, and others that specialize in Waldorf, arts, special needs such as dyslexia, or outdoors education. Enrollment at these schools is growing at about three per cent a year, with much of the influx coming from international students. These schools regularly appear at the top of the Fraser Instituteí s school rankings for the province, led by Kerrisdaleí s Crofton House (girlsí prep), Vancouver College (boysí Catholic) and St. Georgeí s (boysí prep), Surreyí s Southridge School (co-ed prep) and Shaughnessyí s York House (girlsí prep), and Little Flower Academy (girlsí Catholic). Tuition typically costs between $18,000 and $24,000 annually, up to about $50,000 for a boarding student. For more information about all the independent school options in Metro Vancouver, visit FISABC.ca.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Internationally-acclaimed universities, colleges, and other post-secondary institutions bring students from all over the world to study in the beautiful environment of Metro Vancouver. Competitive and diverse academic and trade programs, as well as proximity to all the natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities the region has to offer, make for a thriving and exceptionally exciting collegiate and university community. While the big university campuses at University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University are mini-cities unto themselves, high-quality undergraduate programs can be found at a large number of university-colleges such as Vancouver Community College, Kwantlen, Langara, Capilano and British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). A large mixed campus on Great Northern Way in East Vancouver, near downtown, combines The Emily Carr University of Art and Design with satellite campuses for UBC, SFU and BCIT for an integrated creative and design education and training hub for the Metro Vancouver region.

GVHBA ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE REBRANDS AS HOMEBUILDERS ASSOCIATION VANCOUVER — HAVAN The Greater Vancouver Home Buildersí Associa tion on Jan. 31 announced it is changing its name to Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).

The change, according to a release sent out by the association, is a sign of progress, and ì a reiteration to the associationí s commitment to better express its goals and connect resources to consumers, while strengthening benefits to its members.î ì Our goal remains the same, to help build the homes, and shape communities where people aspire to live,î sa ys Bob de Wit, HAVANí s CEO. ì Homebuilding is at the heart of what our members do. Placing an emphasis on homebuilders makes sense. Weír e excited for the opportunity to empower our members to better connect with consumers. ì Homebuilders Association Vancouver is a simple yet strategic name change, which allows us to quickly convey a clear message across all platforms to the public,î h e says, adding that the abbreviated acronym HAVAN is a memorable word, easily said, and one that plays off the idea of, ì home as oneís h aven.î The new name emphasizes the associationí s core focus on homebuilders, and by adding the word association, positions members as leaders within the residential construction industry.

The word Vancouver acts as an

iconic term for the greater region. ì Weí ve seen a significant shift in the media landscape, and how people search and consume data,î says de Wit. ì While traditional media remains important, in todayí s online world, it is important to be seen and remembered across digital and social platforms.î Developed with Spring Advertising, the new name is supported by a complete redesign of company graphics, owned assets and communication platforms, including HAVAN. ca. The bold new logo reflects the associationí s position of leadership, with representation across all levels of government and Metro Vancouver municipalities, offering a complete suite of consumer and member resources, for all housing forms relating

to home building, buying and renovation.

A not-for-profit association, HAVAN is affiliated with the provincial CHBA BC and national CHBA offices. Comprised of developers, builders, renovators, suppliers, sub trades and professionals, HAVANí s 1,100+ members build 65 per cent of Metro Vancouverí s homes. It is an association of knowledgeable, trusted, resourceful, and local professionals in the home construction industry. Members have shared a commitment to building excellence since 1974.

HAVAN provides both industry and consumer education, and actively liaise with local municipal governments with the focus of meeting Metro Vancouverí s housing needs. nexthome.ca 27

VIBRANT AND HISTORIC

NEW WESTMINSTER

New Westminster, located on the southwest side of the Burrard Peninsula and in roughly the centre of Greater Vancouver, is the oldest city in Western Canada.

After its designation in 1859 as the capital city of British Columbia, it was named New Westminster by Queen Victoria, and nicknamed ë The Royal Cityí.

Since this designation almost 160 years ago, New Westminster has played an important role in the evolution of Greater Vancouver, namely through its four railways and rich past in music and entertainment. The area continues to make history as it evolves into a modern hub, boasting awardwinning parks and restaurants, art studios, the Massey Theatre and the incredible waterfront Quay.

CONNECTED

Downtown New Westminster is adjacent to the idyllic, panoramic Fraser River, with a 2.5 km boardwalk stretching from Westminster Pier Park to the Quayside hub, a short walk away from downtown. The main drag, Columbia Street, is home to a SkyTrain station and bus loop easily connecting to downtown Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Surrey. The availability of transit contributes to sustainable and responsible growth in the Metro Vancouver region.

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 9–23, 2019

DOWNTOWN LIVING

Until 25 years ago, activity in downtown New Westminster was mainly industrial. Not many residents lived in the downtown area and businesses and services were predominantly found on Columbia Street. For years, the tallest building was the Westminster Trust building, standing at just 100 feet. Over the last two decades, the downtown core has evolved into the economic, cultural, historic and residential hub of New Westminster. The area has become a highly desirable residential neighbourhood with medium and high-density housing options now available.

MODERN LIFESTYLE

With the striking backdrop of Vancouverí s mountains or the natural curve of the Fraser River, historic streetscapes enhance the tourism, entertainment and

retail appeal of the downtown hub. Trying local beers at Steel & Oak brewery or fine dining at the recently opened modern Italian restaurant Piva, offers lifestyle and opportunity. Next time youí re in the community of New Westminster, I encourage you to walk around and explore, see whatí s evolved since your last visit. I guarantee youí ll be pleased you stopped by the modern, trendy version of this century-old Royal City.

PROPERTY PROFILE

NATIONAL WRITING CONTEST IN SUPPORT OF HABITAT FOR HUMANITY CANADA

by RASHIDA POWANKUMAR

Students across the country have an opportunity to help families become homeowners by defining what home means to them in a story-writing contest in support of Habitat for Humanity called The Meaning of Home. The contest asks students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 to submit an essay or poem on what home means to them. The winner gets a $25,000 grant that goes to a Habitat build of their choice.

Habitat for Humanity Canada is a non-profit organization that brings communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership.

In the last 12 years, more than 50,000 students have shared what ì homeî h as meant to them, and thanks to their inspiring words, and the generous support of founding sponsor Genworth Canada, more than 3,300 families have benefited.

April Gibson, senior manager of Partner Services and Stewardship at Habitat for Humanity Canada, says sheís d elighted to see children learning and growing. ì It is such a joy to see students across Canada being excited about writing and learning about the important issues of affordable housing and homeownership,î says Gibson. ì Since every submission means a $10 donation to their local Habitat, each student learns that even though they are 42

young, they arení t too young to start giving back and getting involved in their community.î Last year, nine-year-old Ryan Mota of Winnipeg won a $25,000 grant for expressing what ì homeî meant to him by entering his original poetry. Mota directed the money to the Habitat build of his choice.

This year, on top of the grand prize donation, nine runners-up will get the chance to direct a $5,000 grant towards the Habitat build of their choice. Additional prizes include an iPad and large pizzas for the classroom. ì Home is a special place, a place where all dreams come true, a place that everyone matters and everyone is involved. A place

where old friends reunite and new friends are made,î says Habitat for Humanity Canada president and CEO Mark Rodgers in an interview with NextHome. ì A house is much more than a home ñ ití s a place to put down strong roots in a community and truly grow. ì Our model of affordable homeownership provides families with the stability and independence to build the lives that they want and that their children need.î Submissions to The Meaning of Home contest will be accepted online until Feb. 18.

Winners will be announced in April. For more information, visit meaningofhome.ca.

FOREIGN BUYER TAXES AND THE MORTGAGE STRESS TEST DO THESE MEASURES HELP HOUSING AFFORDABILITY?

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Recently, Vancouver was named the second most expensive housing market in the world, second only to Hong Kong, according to the 15th Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Study. This doesnít come as a huge surprise to Vancouverites who have long watched the housing situation worsen.

If you listen to the news, you know that much of the blame has been placed on foreign ownership.

According to Statistics Canada, non-residents own 4.8 per cent of residential property in metropolitan Vancouver, accounting for 5.1 per cent of total residential value.

For years, buyers have mainly been coming from mainland China, but that is changing, says Robert Cheung, an independent mortgage broker who works with foreign buyers. Contrary to popular belief, by and large, Chinese buyers have been avoiding Vancouver as of late. ì Because of the new rules, foreign [buyer] taxes, and the Central Bankí s rigorous mortgage qualifications, they are staying away,î says Cheung. ì We also see foreign buyers coming from the United States, Southeast Asia and Europe.î The federal mortgage regulation policies, announced in January 2018, are making it harder

“

The federal mortgage regulation policies, announced in January 2018, are making it harder for people to get into the home market ñ especially the young and middle class who find it difficult to afford a home due to the mortgage stress test.

for people to get into the home market ñ esp ecially the young and middle class who find it difficult to afford a home due to the mortgage stress test. ì The stress test means people have to qualify at a two per cent higher interest rate than the bank is offering,î sa ys Cheung. ì This really hasní t been much of a problem for most foreign buyers because it is relatively easy for them to come up with a 35 per cent down payment.î Over the last few years, however, British Columbia has also introduced measures aimed at slowing down the number of non-residents looking to invest in Vancouver real estate.

The foreign buyersí 15 per cent tax rate was initiated in Greater Vancouver in 2016; in 2018, it was increased to 20 per cent,

and expanded to apply to the Nanaimo, Victoria, Fraser Valley and Kelowna regions.

Vancouverí s further attempt to address the cityí s housing crisis in 2016 was the introduction of a one per cent empty-homes tax on the assessed value of a home for homeowners who leave their residential properties vacant for more than 180 days a year. ì The goal of this tax is to have people either live in their homes or open them up to the rental market,î says Esther Lee, director of financial services in the City of Vancouver. ì This does not affect principal residences, or if you rent out your home for at least six months.î To further discourage foreign possession, the foreign tax also applies to ì satellite families.î ì Satellites families are

Canadian residents, however, if the major income earner in the family is working overseas, say in China, and not reporting or paying Canadian taxes, they will also be subject to the 20 per cent speculation tax,î says Raymond Lu, CA/partner, Manning Elliott.

Perhaps one of the most contentious issues facing foreign buyers, adds Lu, is the speculation tax the NDP government announced in February 2018. This is a two per cent property tax targeting outof-province owners. To put that into perspective, a $5-million home not used as a primary residence will be subject to an additional $100,000 levy. ì The speculation tax will be levied on residential properties in certain urban areas, if they are not being used as primary residences,î explains Lu. Additionally, nonpermanently occupied second or vacation homes in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Nanaimo and the southern tip of Vancouver Island, including Kelowna and West Kelowna, will be subject to this tax. ì These policies and regulations claim to solve market prices, but they arení t Ö they arení t fixing the affordability issue,î says Lu. ì Most Vancouverites caní t afford to rent these large, expensive houses most foreign buyers own nor can they afford to buy them.î
