EDITOR’S NOTE

LEARNING RESILIENCE 2020 REVIEW: PART ONE

STEPHANIE MACDONALD EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: stephanie.macdonald@nexthome.ca

+

As we near the end of a tumultuous year, we like to reflect on what happened over the last 12 months, and what we have learned. Because this year had so many unprecedented experiences and lessons, we find that we have so much to cover, that we are devoting two issues to the topic. This is Part One, and our coverage will continue in our yearly double issue that comes out on December 12.

I’m personally thankful this year to have gotten to spend lots of close time with my family, and Second Wave notwithstanding, to see British Columbians come together admirably to protect our vulnerable people while riding out the rest of the pandemic. In terms of the new home market here in Metro Vancouver, 2020 wasn’t a bad year at all. With people putting more value on home, re-evaluating their needs, and taking advantage of historically low borrowing rates, the new home market was a bright spot in the British Columbia economy.

In the following pages we have many possibilities for your perfect new home, whether you’re a first-time buyer, need more space, or are downsizing for a more carefree lifestyle.

We also have an informative story about investing in a presale condo or townhome, which can be a great idea in a robust real estate market. So, let’s stay the course, remember what we’ve learned from the past year, and welcome 2021 with optimistic enthusiasm.

CONCERT PROPERTIES WINS BILD SUSTAINABILITY AWARD Concert is proud to announce that it is the recipient of the 2020 BILD Awards’ prestigious Stephen Dupuis Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award.

Named after late BILD President and CEO Stephen Dupuis, this Pinnacle award, BILD’s highest distinction, is presented to an organization that is committed to corporate social responsibility. Recipients have proven that they have taken into consideration the kind of impact they have on all aspects of society including economic, social and environmental, and that, in the normal course of business, they are operating in ways that enhance society and the environment.

“Sociability City” at SFU’s City Conversations In this heartfelt contribution to the Pandemonium webinar series on Oct. 21, panelists from Vancouver, Toronto and London, U.K. reflected on the dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic that have affected our civic relationships in profoundly disruptive ways. Panelists brought ideas, evidence and stories from their practice and research on what is at stake for the common humanity of our cities as we 14 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

respond to, and recover from, the pandemic. What this kind of policy work demands is a recognition that rectifying inequities and injustices supports common community goals, even for the privileged.

In a conversation about how much kindness we should expect in conditions of austerity and resource scarcity, we need to create city structures that make clear that “we are all in this together”.

DID YOU KNOW?

A large parcel of land that was originally designated for rural housing has now been acquired by Metro Vancouver, in the interest of creating a large, contiguous park. The land, north of the Codd Wetland Ecological Conservancy Area in Pitt Meadows, was purchased last year for $7.3 million.

HAVAN’s Annual Coats for Kids Campaign

IKEA’s Black Friday Buy-Back Event On November 16th, IKEA Canada kicked off its Black Friday campaign, redefining what it means to ‘save’ with a series of initiatives enabling Canadians to not only save money, but also water, energy, waste and resources. From November 16th to December 2nd, IKEA will offer double the assessed value back to customers who give their

gently-used IKEA furniture a second life through its Sell-Back program. Nationwide initiatives also include discounts on some of IKEA Canada’s most sustainable products, incentives for donating furniture and electronics, and more. On Saturday, November 28, select IKEA Canada stores will host donation drives in their parking lots for both furniture and electronics.

UDI U40 Webinar about Creating Master-planned Communities As part of a series of informal webinars for the development community, in late October The Urban Development Institute’s Under-40 division hosted “The Power of Design: Informing and Influencing Master-planned Communities, now available on the UDI website. Speaking were Patrick Cotter from ZGF Architecture, Don Williams from Free Agency, and Maxime Zentner, interior designer at Marcon. It was moderated by Onni’s Morgan Davis and Concert Properties’ Henry McQueen. The topic was

integrating the design process across all creative partners to create ultimately livable masterplanned communities that offer real benefits to residents as well as surrounding communities.

Speakers identified key areas where collaboration is beneficial from the very beginning. Maxime spoke of the story and design narrative, including architecture and the design of amenities, to create person-centred spaces that are connected to the users. To hear what the rest had to say view the webinar at udi.bc.ca.

The Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN) is launching the 25th annual Coats for Kids campaign on Thursday, November 12, 2020, in support of the Lower Mainland and Surrey Christmas Bureaus, two groups whose many initiatives help to provide a warmer winter and brighter holiday season for families in need. To celebrate 25 years, in addition to collecting Coats for Kids, HAVAN is holding a $25 for 25 Years Fundraising Campaign, with the goal of reaching $25,000.00! It is estimated over the past 25 years, members have gathered 75,000+ coats for kids and teenagers, along with new toys and cash donations.

However, with Covid-19, Coats for Kids is facing some challenges.

With so many people working from home, access to drop off locations is significantly down.

From now until December 12th new or gently used winter jackets, hoodies, scarves, and mittens can be dropped off at a location near you. Locations are listed below and at www.havan.ca/coatsforkids. nexthome.ca 15

THE ROBINSONS PICTURE PERFECT IN WEST COQUITLAM News flash: Early Bird sales are now underway at The Robinsons in West Coquitlam. So if you’re one of many folks who’ve been watching and waiting for this collection of elegant townhomes, your patience is about to pay off.

“This is a very limited opportunity to take advantage of some exceptional pricing before the presentation centre opens early in the new year and we launch to the public,” says James McKenny, Formwerks’ director of sales and marketing. “If you’ve registered, you’ll have exclusive access to a virtual tour of these homes and a fly-through of the central courtyard and streetscape.”

When you book a private appointment, you’ll also be able to learn more about The Robinsons’ contemporary finishings — quartz countertops, European hardwood-style flooring throughout main living areas, stylish matte black faucets, and stateof-the-art appliances — as well as the two colour schemes that are bold enough to stand out yet timeless so they won’t go out of vogue.

TRENDSETTING BY DESIGN

Inside, The Robinsons is a showcase of efficient design. “There’s not a square inch of wasted space,” 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

James notes. “So you’re not paying for square footage that you can’t use — in today’s market, that’s more important than ever.”

And here’s something that’s wowing buyers of all ages.

The Robinsons will be the first development in Coquitlam to offer lock-off suites in select homes.

“These suites create exceptional flexibility,” James says. “We’re anticipating that if you choose to rent it out as a mortgage helper, the average rental income would be $1,200 per month. That’s money you could use to reduce your mortgage or help you qualify.

Of course, you could also use it as a private suite either for boomerang kids or parents who want to downsize and be closer to their family.”

WELCOME TO YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD

Connected and active, West Coquitlam is a community you’ll be proud to be part of. Parks, schools, retail, restaurants, and the Burquitlam SkyTrain station are all just a short, easy stroll from your front door. There’s also a planned, future greenway coming soon. So even though your home comes with two parking spaces, you’ll likely find yourself walking or biking more than ever.

“

The Robinsons’ presentation centre is coming in early 2021 to 711 Robinson Street in Coquitlam.

For more information and to book your VIP appointment so you can take advantage of early sales pricing, visit liveattherobinsons.ca.

Prices start in the high $800,000s and the first five buyers will receive a 5% credit — just one more reason to love your new home here.

This is a very limited opportunity to take advantage of some exceptional pricing before we launch to the public.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

BURQUITLAM COQUITLAM

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Burquitlam, with a population of 22,780, is nestled at the cross roads of two cities - Coquitlam and Burnaby. A fun fact: This neighbourhood has the distinction of being home to one of the oldest roads in the Lower Mainland – North Road built in 1859.

LIFESTYLE

The burgeoning Burquitlam neighbourhood, with its upscale amenities including great shops and malls, stunning parks, such as Burnaby Lake and Como Lake, offers a combination of urban sophistication and idyllic greenspaces – making this a truly urban/ rural lifestyle.

THE VIBE

This once established neighbourhood is going through a growth spurt, with a dizzying amount of construction. Yet, it still enjoys a Zen vibe thanks to all of its parks and trails. The migration of Lower Mainland city dwellers, with 54 per cent having a 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

post-secondary education, has definitely contributed to this evolving change.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

This enclave is a family-friendly one that is appealing to a growing number of professional Millennials.

Because of the Evergreen Line expansion and lower housing prices, even downsizers and Baby Boomers are enticed to this neighbourhood.

IN THE AREA

Dating back to 1911, its crown jewel is the Vancouver Golf Course. Recognized as one of the finest golf clubs in the Pacific Northwest, it is set in a stunning 176-acre woodland park setting.

PLANES TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Accessible transportation services like buses, the Evergreen SkyTrain and the Westcoast Express commuter rail train, are within a short distance to

most new condo buildings, providing fast access to downtown Vancouver.

REAL ESTATE (NEW BUILDS)

With housing prices about one-third of the price of comparable properties on Vancouver’s west side, it’s no wonder Burquitlam is booming.

There’s a lot going on in Burquitlam since the new Skytrain was built, from townhomes to low rise condominium projects to masterplanned communities.

Lougheed Core Area Master Plan envisions the drastic densification of 72-acres immediately north of Lougheed Town Centre Station, including redevelopment of the mall, Anthem’s impressive SOCO master-planned community, and just up the street, Adera’s Duet project with city homes and townhomes.

COTTONWOOD PARK Undergoing extensive upgrades to 2.5 acres (to be completed this summer) of park space with a new playground, water play area, social area, washrooms and covered picnic area. coquitlam.ca/parks-recreationand-culture/parks-and-trails/ park-finder/cottonwood-park

THINKING OF INVESTING IN A PRE-SALE? THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF INVESTING IN A PRE-SALE CONDO OR TOWNHOME

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD When you are thinking of investing, your options can be a bit overwhelming. There are a lot of factors in play: how much money you have to invest, your tolerance for risk, your personal interests, and your general financial goals.

The Metro Vancouver real estate market, particularly for new buildings, has proved very resilient to changing economic 24 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

times, and so, for many people, has become an effective way to invest money. Before you invest in anything, you should reach out to your financial advisor, as well as a reputable Realtor. Mike Stewart is one of those people; an award-winning Vancouver Realtor with MikeStewart.ca, and founder of VancouverNewCondos. com, Mike and his colleagues help

buyers and sellers of both new and existing homes throughout Greater Vancouver, The Fraser Valley, Southern Vancouver Island, and The Okanagan Valley.

The following are some very good reasons some people choose to invest in pre-sale condos, according to Mike’s extremely informative website, mikestewart.ca.

Pre-Sales allow investors potential capital appreciation in a rising market prior to completion, without the hassle of tenants, the cost of property taxes, and maintenance fees.

50 Electric Avenue in Port Moody

• Low Hassle Investment with Potential for Capital Appreciation – Pre-sales allow investors potential capital appreciation in a rising market prior to completion without the hassle of tenants, the cost of property taxes and maintenance fees. Presales can often be sold prior to completion by the original buyer of the pre-sale for a profit (sometimes not at a profit) and this is referred to as an “assignment of contract”.

• Warranty Protection – When the property completes the investor gets a property with a full 2/5/10 Warranty which in most cases means low cost and low hassle ownership during the life of the warranty.

• Leverage – An investor may be able to purchase a pre-sale by putting down a deposit of

five to ten per cent. Should the property increase in value before completion, an investor could see a significant return on the deposit money invested. Also, in a rising market, an investor may be able to buy a presale a with a five per cent or ten per cent deposit and then complete on the property with over 20 per cent in equity without putting up any more money, up due to the increased value of the property at completion. This would allow the investor to avoid costly CMHC high-ratio insurance premiums required for properties purchased with less than a 20 per cent down payment.

• Low Cost of Ownership – New condos built by good developers, in most cases, will not require a lot costly and time-consuming repairs or maintenance on the

part of an owner/investor as compared to an older building.

• Popularity with Tenants – Newer buildings tend to be popular with tenants for a lot of the same reasons they’re popular with investors, newness, no need for repairs or troublesome and costly maintenance as well as the modern conveniences that newer building tend to come with such as gyms, saunas, hot tubs, concierge, swimming pools, etc.

• Newer Suites Often Get Higher Rent – Brand-new is popular, and very often prospective tenants are willing to pay a premium to rent a newer suite over an older suite.

Kush Panatch, of Panatch Group has a lot of experience building nexthome.ca 25

homes for all types of buyers, including investors. “Regardless of buyer type, with presales, buyers benefit from the ability to plan their payments due to the fact that they know exactly what they are paying and when, there are no bidding wars, a variety of home types and colour schemes to choose from, and the peace of mind that comes with the new home building warranties that are in place for years after completion”.

There are many factors to consider before investing your money in a pre-construction condo or townhome unit. Firstly, it’s important to Find a reputable builder. You are putting your money and trust into a building that doesn’t exist yet. Consult an organization such as The 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

Homebuilders Association of Vancouver (HAVAN) to find a reputable developer, and then ask questions such as: “Were past projects completed on time and if not, how delayed were they?

Next, you must choose the right location. The higher the population density in an area, the higher the demand. Says Kush, “if the development, like Panatch Group’s 50 Electronic Avenue, is located close to transit and amenities, then it will always be in demand, ensuring lasting value. The sentiments from our buyers are that they are excited to be making one of the biggest investments of their lives in a community that is growing and has so much to offer”.

Lastly, though short-term profits from assignments are possible,

our market has lots of potential for people who think long-term.

Realtors and economists say that long-term goals are the most important thing to consider when it comes to pre-construction condo investment. “If an investor believes the value of a condo will increase over time, they are probably right,” Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist for CIBC World Markets said in an interview with CTVNews.ca. “The condo space is the most affordable channel to homeownership.

Demand will continue to be strong. I think within the next year or two, profiting from investment may be tricky. But, I think from a long term investment, they will do extremely well.” https://www.mikestewart.ca

BUYER PROFILE

CATHY AND DAVINDER DISCOVER LIGHTHOUSE

CELEBRATING THE RIVERSIDE LIFESTYLE

by SUSAN M BOYCE When Cathy and Davinder discovered Port Royal in Queensborough a few years ago, they knew they’d found the neighbourhood they want to call home forever. They bought a sundrenched, two-bedroom condo beside the river from a co-worker, and in no time were settled in.

Then their family grew to include Armaan, whose sunny smile instantly captivates all who meet him, and the couple realized they would need a larger home.

“I’ll be working part-time from home during the pandemic,” Cathy says. “Davinder is a teacher and does comic art on side, so our home office isn’t really a kid-friendly zone. And, besides, Armaan needs his own space.”

But Cathy and Davinder just couldn’t see themselves moving away from Port Royal. “We love the lifestyle here,” Cathy explains.

“Being beside a working river is something you don’t find every day. And it’s so important to us that Armaan can enjoy green spaces all around as he grows up.”

When they saw the signs go up for Lighthouse, only a block away, everything simply fell into place. “We both love the huge, open-concept floorplan with the living, dining, and kitchen areas all flowing together. Even when we’re cooking, we’re still able to keep an eye on our little one.” She’s also thrilled that the reclaimed-brick feature wall, a much-loved Aragon 30 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

tradition, will be even larger than the one in their current home.

“The amount of storage in the kitchen and bathroom is amazing, too,” Cathy says enthusiastically.

“Aragon does storage so well. Plus having the entry separate from the living space, really gives you a sense of entering your home, of arrival.”

The couple are also delighted their new home includes an EV charger in the garage. “It’s so annoying when you have to go to the grocery store to charge your car,” she admits. “Now we won’t have to.”

With move-in day fast approaching this December, Cathy says she and Davinder are looking forward to sipping a glass

of wine in front of the fire as well taking morning coffee on their balcony. “The deck is surrounded by trees and overlooks the courtyard, so I’ll be able to watch Armaan when he’s old enough to play there on his own. We can even see the river and the Patullo Bridge from there.”

Finally, here’s one last bit of serendipity to Davinder and Cathy’s story. “The co-worker we bought our current home from is also buying a new condo in Lighthouse — so we’ll be neighbours again,” Cathy say.

“That’s going to be fun for all of us.”

AN “INTERESTING” YEAR IN REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS OF 2020 AND THE CHANGES THAT HAVE IMPACTED HOMEOWNERS AND PURCHASERS

ALISA ARAGON

Well, we started the year with relatively low interest rates, that were projected to be slowly moving upwards. Everyone was 32 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 28–Dec. 12, 2020

looking forward to the typical spring housing market. And then COVID-19 happened, which was something that we could never have imagined would happen in our lifetime. Everyone has had to adjust how we do things, yet it has brought to many the opportunity to re-focus and give time to slow down and reflect on what is important in their lives.

When we went into lockdown, Canadian financial institutions provided mortgage payment deferrals for up to six months to assist homeowners with their mortgages during COVID-19, as well as other creditors such as credit card companies and car loans. Many home buyers wanting to get into the market, and homeowners wanting to make

a move, decided to hold off and wait — which slowed the housing market. Both the provincial and federal governments rolled out programs to assist Canadians personally and with their businesses.

The Bank of Canada made two unscheduled announcements reducing the overnight rate from 1.75 per cent at the beginning of March to 0.75 per cent, with another cut to 0.25 per cent. This was done to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on the economy in efforts to support the credit and financial system.

This was the sharpest decline in the economy since the global economic crisis of 2008/2009 when the overnight rate was last at 0.25 per cent.

After businesses started reopening, the housing market

“

began to pick up. Many home buyers resumed their home searches, and homeowners looking at upsizing to a larger home started listing their homes for sale.

Interest rates started to come down to historical lows. Tiff Macklem; the new governor of the Bank of Canada, was “unusually clear” that interest rates will remain low for a long time. That there were no plans to raise rates until capacity was absorbed, and inflation fits its two per cent target on a sustainable basis, which they estimated would take at least two years. This means the prime rate will remain unchanged, which ultimately affects variable mortgages and lines of credit.

Also, the qualifying interest rate (Benchmark of Canada) was reduced from 4.94 per cent to

The housing market has strengthened in large part due to the record-low mortgage interest rates and the demand by home buyers and homeowners that have maintained their income levels during the pandemic.

”

4.79 per cent which, to borrowers, meant an increase in their borrowing power.

The housing market has strengthened in large part due to the record-low mortgage interest rates and the demand by home buyers and homeowners that have maintained their income levels during the pandemic. The good news is that the housing market is contributing to the recovery of the economy.

The announcement of Pfizer that they have a highly effective vaccine in the works and Moderna stating that the COIVD-19 vaccine as 94.5 per cent effective in their preliminary analysis, has pushed up the US and Canadian bond yield, leading many to suggest a slight increase in fixed mortgage rates, and that discounts on variable rates may be reduced in the near future.

Since 2020 has been an unprecedented year with so many changes and unknowns, it can be confusing and overwhelming for purchasers and homeowners to remember and understand all the changes. For that reason, it is important to talk to a Mortgage Expert that can assist you with our expertise and guidance. There are many differences amongst all lenders, and we will ensure that you get the best lender based on your individual needs.

Alisa Aragon obtained her Mortgage License from the University of British Columbia and started her own mortgage business in 2011.

She has recently established a new company, Bridgestone Financing Pros, and is on the Board of Directors for the Homebuilders Association of Vancouver (HAVAN).

big style, small spaces

right rug How to choose the

BY LISA ROGERS

Rugs are a tricky business. Finding the right rug can literally transform your entire space for the better.

Select the wrong one? It throws everything off-kilter. Another important factor is price. They can be expensive, and often they’re one of the bigger investments you make with your home furnishings.

So, understanding how to choose the right rug is paramount – and it doesn’t have to be stressful. There are very simple rules to consider when you’re out on a buying trip.

Here are my fail-proof tips!

COLOUR

Pretty obvious starter, but finding the right rug comes to colour first. If you already have a lot going on in your space in terms of colour (or pattern), then you may want to stick with a singlecolour rug (in a neutral shade) to balance everything out. If you desire a patterned rug with many shades, then it’s much easier to choose your rug first, then add in the furniture and accessories afterwards so everything in the room coordinates.

TEXTURE

NATURAL

This isn’t something that immediately comes to mind for people, but texture is important, too – especially given it will be directly under your feet. I love texture and its ability to make a room feel rich and layered, and it’s an easy way to set the intention for the tone or vibe you want your space to give off. From velvet to sisal or a much fluffier pile or shag, there is so much to choose from. Don’t forget traffic volume, either. For high-traffic areas, I recommend a stronger weave in a more durable fabric.

For bedrooms, you can go for cosy materials such as a lovely viscose or shag.

Natural rugs made from sisal, jute or seagrass are also durable, making them great in hightraffic areas. These tend to come in more neutral palettes or are dyed a colour, and are usually very affordable.

HERE ARE SOME POPULAR STYLES: KILIMS

Kilims have become incredibly popular lately for their flat weave, bright tones and graphic patterns. Made out of woven wool and cotton, the rugs are easy to clean, durable and versatile.

OVERDYED

The overdyed rugs create a wonderful unique, distressed look and suit spaces with a moderate amount of traffic.

TUFTED

Tufted wool rugs are a great way to introduce warmth, luxury and subtle texture to your space.

These tend to last longer in spaces where there isn’t as much traffic, limiting the wear and tear.

SIZE

A rug should fit the size of your seating area and not necessarily your entire room. What you want is that when you’re sitting on your couch or a chair, your feet are still on the fabric, not the floor. Leave at least six inches of rug space on each side of the furniture; make sure there is at least one inch of exposed floor between the rug and the walls (this further anchors an arrangement rather than looking like wall-to-wall carpet).

For a much larger room, opt for a rug that is big enough to contain all four legs of couches, chairs, coffee tables or side tables.

Consider a rug in your dining room; if you were to pull your chairs back, the chair legs should still be sitting on the rug itself.

For your bedroom, place the rug under the front two-thirds of your bed, or under the entire bed and nightstands. Allow two to three inches on each side of the bed to have a soft place for your feet to land when you get out of your bed. Alternatively, you could also

place a runner on each side of the bed, or a single runner at the foot of the bed. Again, this all depends on your personal preference.

WHERE TO BUY

Shop with your eyes first. I love looking through my favourite decor magazines, as well as

online, for ideas on interior spaces, colour stories and trends.

Recognize that antique rugs are very expensive, so if you happen to see a popular vintage style you like, there may be a possibility it has been reproduced at a lower price point by a retailer. Although I typically have nothing against department stores, they tend to have selections that are also mass-produced. Go to the retail level instead: Pottery Barn and Elte always have great options.

2020: The Year No oNE PrEdICtEd

Cameron mCneill

When the clock struck 12:00am on January 1st, 2020, we had no idea of the impact COVID-19 would have on our local economy.

We first felt the impact of the pandemic on local Chinese New Year celebrations, back in January.

In real estate, Chinese New Year is always an occasion to be celebrated at local presentation centres as Vancouver’s Chinese community plays such a major role in fueling the local market. When those events were cancelled, to curb the spread of the virus, that was the first time we have seen a naturally occurring external factor, such as a virus, impact our local real estate market.

As we continued into spring, protocols were put in place to ensure safety measures were implemented at presentation centres and open houses. And on March 14th, shock and uncertainty arrived in Metro Vancouver’s real estate market as the region went into lock down. This forced project delays or cancellations while activity ceased for both buyers and sellers. Many stakeholders took a step back to wait and see how the next few months would unfold.

As we waited for the situation to normalize, one thing became clear: Vancouver and British Columbia were handling the pandemic better than most jurisdictions around the world. The

New York Times even featured B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry for the outstanding work she and her team had done to flatten our curve.

Vancouver was put on the global map once again as one of the best places in the world to live. As the situation normalized, so did our real estate market.

Activity returned in the summer — and September and October saw record-breaking months for both the pre-sale and resale markets. Part of this can be attributed to pent-up buyer demand from previous months, but part of this activity further affirmed Vancouver and British Columbia as the best places to live, work, and raise a family.

As we navigate our second wave of COVID-19, and see our daily case numbers continue to

rise, a small level of uncertainty has returned to our local economy. However, seeing this pandemic through the first wave there is no denying that an increased value has been place on Vancouver’s real estate market, a sense of place, and the importance of feeling secure in where you choose to call home.

Comfort is Key

1

Has the pandemic indefinitely changed the way you live and dress? Casual wear has become de rigueur, with pyjama and sweatpants breaking sales records this year. And, with so many working from home and spending more time inside, many homeowners are rethinking how they can make their spaces more organized, functional and relaxed. We have entered a new age of comfort. When the outside world seems daunting, we want our homes to be a source of solace, our clothes to be unrestrictive and unapologetic.

As the winter bears down on us and restrictions change weekly, sheltering in place should be a time to slow down and surround ourselves with life’s little pleasures. It could be mastering the art of sour dough bread, curling up by a fire with family or snuggling in a super soft throw – whatever comfort means to you, embrace it and let it carry you through the pandemic.
