EDITOR’S NOTE

COLD WEATHER EQUALS HOT BUYS

MARLENE EISNER EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: marlene.eisner@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

It’s still a few weeks until it’s officially winter, but we all know the cold weather is on its way. Skiers and outdoorsy types rejoice, while the faint-of-heart prefer cocooning, cosy reading socks and a hot toddy by the fire.

When the wind is blowing and the snow is falling, you may not be thinking of getting out to visit presentation centres to find that home you’ve been dreaming about. But after you read Michelle Hopkins’ article on why buying a new home during the winter months can save you money, you may want to re-think your stay-at-home tendencies. See what she has to say on page 34 and who knows? You could end up in that new home sooner than you imagined – and save some money, too.

If you’ve already found your new home and need to sell your current one, check out our 10 Minutes With column on page 20. Editor-at-Large Stephanie Macdonald asks home stager Betty Wharton to share her best tips on how to make a home more attractive for a quick sale.

This issue of New Home + Condo Guide is packed with lots of great articles to help you find that new home you’ve been wanting, so snuggle into your favourite reading chair, grab a cup of Joe, and start reading.

EAST VAN CULTURE CRAWL

EAST VAN CULTURE CRAWL Sponsored by Beedie, the developer that owns the studios at 1000 Parker Street, the 23rd annual Eastside Culture Crawl took place over the weekend of Nov. 14-17. Visual artists and artisans of all stripes opened their East Vancouver studios to the public, and with more than 50,000 attendees, the event just keeps on getting more successful each year.

The Audain Art Museum’s Emily Carr exhibition Up in Whistler, discover the fascinating “Emily Carr: Fresh Seeing – French Modernism and the West Coast” exhibition, sponsored by Cressey, along with RBC. The exhibition of more than 50 paintings, watercolours and sketches investigates the fertile period of Carr’s life when she visited England and France with her sister, and studied with various instructors, including Henry William Phelan Gibb, who influenced her and broke her bonds with her previously conservative training.

14 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

This fascinating exhibition joins the Audain Art Museum’s incredible permanent collection of the art of British Columbia from the late 18th century to the present, including an important collection of 19th and 20th century First Nations’ masks.

Founded by Polygon founder Michael Audain, this can’t-bemissed art collection is housed in a stunningly modern floating wooden building designed by Patkau Architects. The Emily Carr: Fresh Seeing exhibition runs until Jan. 19, 2020.

DID YOU KNOW?

CMHC’s most recent forecast said townhomes and condos priced under $700,000 are expected to see the strongest demand over the next two years. “Meanwhile, conditions in the single-detached market are expected to remain soft, particularly in the higher-end segment of the market.”

Inspire Jericho On the evening of Nov. 7, a packed crowd joined together at the Arts Club’s Granville Island Stage for the fourth of the “Inspire Jericho Talks” series sponsored by the City of Vancouver and the MST Corporation. The series aims to offer potential solutions to urban challenges in the context of planning the 90-acre parcel of land known as the Jericho Lands, currently jointly owned by the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. This talk featured keynote speaker Magnus Schön of Kod Arkitekter of Stockholm,

who explained examples of urban developments in Sweden and abroad that combine landscape and architecture to support resilient, inclusive and sustainable communities. He emphasized using natural materials, such as wood, and employing complex adaptive systems that can evolve to meet a population’s changing needs while respecting the environment. His Seven Principles of Resilience include prioritizing walking and cycling over driving, clever storm-water management and a carbon neutral building strategy.

The Holland grand opening Holland Park is a jewel in Surrey Centre, right at the end of the Skytrain route connecting Surrey City Centre to the rest of the Metro Vancouver area. On a sunny Nov. 9, Townline’s newest project, The Holland, was unveiled at the top of Holland Park. Visitors to the new presentation centre enjoyed espresso, grilled cheese sandwiches and tacos from

the food trucks outside, before touring the new show home, and hearing the exciting details of the new development. Since the opening, the presentation centre has welcomed more than 800 prospective homebuyers intrigued by the central location, proximity to greenspaces and urban amenities, and an elegant and functional design.

Holiday Cheer HAVAN coat drive. The Homebuilders Association Vancouver members have been providing drop-off locations for people to donate lightly used and new coats since 1995, in support of the Lower Mainland and Surrey Christmas bureaus.

This year, the campaign runs until Dec. 1, with 48 HAVAN member companies offering 63 drop-off locations across 13 municipalities. Drop-off locations can be found at https://havan.ca/ event/coatsforkids/ The Gryphon Living toy drive supports the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau (LMCB), a local registered non-profit organization that distributes toys, clothes and food vouchers to more than 1,000 low-income families in Vancouver during the holiday season.

The Heights on Austin Coquitlam’s Best Views

It’s one of Coquitlam’s most established and charming neighbourhoods, a place where people celebrate traditional values while embracing the future. This is Austin Heights, where you’ll find a dynamic and amenity-rich community that’s wowing savvy homebuyers of all generations.

Introducing the East Tower at the Heights on Austin, the first of two residential towers.

“Beedie always designs with the homeowner in mind,” explains Sunny Hahm, director of marketing and strategy. “It’s why we’ve included premium features such as integrated Fisher Paykel and Bosch appliances, generous nine18 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

foot ceilings, and air conditioning.

And with homes on each floor ranging from one- to threebedrooms, this is going to become a vibrant, diverse community.”

Oh, and did you want to discuss views? Well, The Heights on Austin has them. Whether you prefer panoramic vistas of the Fraser River and Mount Baker or the forested mountains of the North Shore, these one-, two-, and threebedroom homes offer some of the best views in the Lower Mainland.

In fact, thanks to The Heights on Austin’s location at the crest of the hill, your toughest decision may well be which view you decide to wake up to every morning.

Amenity-Rich LifestyLe

“This is truly Coquitlam’s best neighbourhood, a place where an established community is undergoing an exciting revitalization,” says Hahm.

“People are often surprised when they learn that this is one of Coquitlam’s oldest, most established commercial and residential districts. Over 250 shops and services are within easy walking distance, including the newly renovated and expanded 65,000-sq.-ft.

Safeway in our new town centre at the base of the podium.”

Recreation is easy to find, too.

& Leisure Complex with ice rink, fitness, and swimming pool facility is right next door. Or check out the prestigious Vancouver Golf Club that’s just down the street. And perfect for a summer picnic or an evening stroll are the nearby Como Lake Park and the charming Mundy Park where you’ll find some of the best huckleberry picking in the Lower Mainland. “All together, there are 750 acres of green spaces within a four-kilometre radius,” Hahm adds.

“Austin Heights is definitely Coquitlam’s most walkable neighbourhood and reminiscent of other pedestrian-friendly communities like Edgemont Village, Burnaby Heights, and Dundarave,” Hahm says. “Places you really could park your car on a Friday and never drive anywhere until Monday.”

And getting around has never been easier with convenient access to both the Trans Canada Highway and Lougheed Highway, plus three SkyTrain stations — Lougheed, Burquitlam, and Braid — all within a five-minute drive.

A ReputAtion to count on

With 65 years of experience, Beedie Living is a local builder who remains committed to developing communities that will remain vibrant and livable far into the future. The Heights on Austin will be the company’s third community in Coquitlam in the past eight years, and plans are underway for a fourth — the 96-acre Fraser Mills.

“Fraser Mills will be the city’s first and only waterfront destination that will host over 4700 homes, restaurants, shops, parks, and a community centre,” Hahm says. “This community will be a new legacy that will shape the future of the region, and yet another milestone for Beedie.”

The Heights on Austin’s presentation centre and display suites are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 1032 Austin Avenue in Coquitlam.

Prices start in the mid $400,000s.

ADVICE | 10 MINutEs WItH

How to stage your home for a quick sale

by StepHanie MacDonalD

Betty Wharton of Happy Homes Transitions shares some home-staging tips.

New Home + Condo Guide: When you’re staging a smaller studio apartment, what are some of the tricks you use to make it feel more spacious? If there’s a Murphy bed, would you leave it up, or down?

Betty Wharton: The first rule to make a small condo

feel larger is to declutter, declutter, declutter! Limit decor, add a few pieces of large-scale art and use furniture with exposed legs to create a feeling of openness and movement. A fresh coat of white paint along with a mirror will add light, reflection and the perception of more space. Leaving a Murphy bed down gives a chance to add drama, comfort and warmth and helps the buyer really connect with the home. People can then imagine the space with the bed up but may have a hard time envisioning it down.

towels and a plant will add light and warmth. In the kitchen, add a few well-placed accessories, and if space permits, a piece of art to draw the eye away from problem areas.

you’re staging, how do you draw people’s attention to that?

B.W.: Every property and every stage is different, but

B.W.: It’s very important to determine what makes

your property stand out from the rest and to really showcase these features: Using low profile wellplaced furnishings to keep the buyer’s eye moving past the interior to an amazing view; clearing kitchen counters except for a few key items to frame highend appliances; arranging furniture to make a beautiful fireplace the focal point of a room – these are all great ways to draw people’s attention to the things that count. Of course, it’s also very important to make sure windows are spotless and appliances polished to really bring these selling features home.

NHCG: How do you downplay deficits?

B.W.: If a kitchen / bathroom reno isn’t in the budget,

then the best thing you can do is opt for spotless and simple. Investing in fresh paint and updating lighting can often make a huge impact at a low price point.

the goal is to connect with the most potential buyers.

A brand-new vacant show home is going to demand a high-end modern feel that may seem out of place in an older lived-in home. In these cases, editing, rearranging then adding accessories to polish and elevate existing furnishings is often a more palatable and cost-effective approach. Properties in the Fraser Valley tend to be larger, so homeowners often opt to only stage “the heart” (entry, living room, dining room, kitchen and master) of a vacant property to keep the budget more reasonable and focus on the space that the buyer really needs to fall in love with.

Betty Wharton’s Happy Homes Transitions is a “one-stop-shop” for home staging, organizing and downsizing, servicing all of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Wharton specializes in staging, decluttering and providing guidance to realtors and home sellers.

the missing middle A debate About density

by SuSAn M boyce

Speakers Gordon Price, Jake Fry and Daniel Oleksiuk

Celebrated for its spectacular lifestyle and temperate climate, Metro Vancouver’s high cost of housing remains a contentious issue: The water cooler conversation that’s tough to resist yet often the source of confrontation and conflict.

Where is the elusive “missing middle,” the sweet spot between single-family homes and the largescale multi-family developments?

This was the issue that a panel of three industry experts — Jake Fry, principal of Smallworks; Gordon Price, well-known speaker and a fellow of SFU; and Daniel Oleksiuk, a lawyer and member of Abundant Housing Vancouver — tackled head-on at the November meeting of the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).

Price noted that while the single-family era in Vancouver came to an end in the 1980s, the missing middle is still very much with us… it’s just no longer located 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

where we expect it to be. Today, it’s found in the outlying suburbs like Langley and Surrey. These are the areas that have embraced low- to mid-rise development, the gentle densification that practically defines the missing middle.

However, Oleksiuk pointed out that Vancouver does have plenty of examples. Some, like the stillattractive apartment building on a double lot that’s located at 11th Avenue and Quebec Street, are as old as 100.

Fry believes one key to making densification more palatable to neighbours in predominantly single-family areas is to simply keep development below the treeline. By retaining the same scale of character, it’s easier to accept. He’s excited that there have been several examples of single-family heritage homes being converted into two marketvalue homes, two that are offered at below market but when resold

would command market price, and one that will retain its affordable designation in perpetuity.

There was also spirited discussion about what happens to a neighbourhood like Shaughnessy, where populations are declining — a decline in vibrancy and diversity. Creating missing middle density would re-attract the young families with children who require schools and make use of amenities like rec centres, athletic fields and parks.

This demographic also spends more than any other, so it breathes new life into retail and services.

While overall the outlooks seemed mostly positive, Price did offer one cautionary note: “Single family remains an iconic form of housing in almost every culture from Little House on the Prairie to Downton Abbey.” But he cited North Vancouver’s emerging Moodyville as an “extraordinary neighbourhood,” a shining, current day example of how the desire to create more homes within a limited area can result in a winwin situation. “We hear about the failures, but we don’t celebrate our successes often enough,” he says.

Surprisingly, in a room filled with builders and renovators, few had heard of Moodyville.

And the over-riding message?

We need to move away from NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard) and BANANAism (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) and adopt a more YIMBYist attitude — Yes In My Back Yard. And that will be cause for celebration.

show home presents an

inviting interior by stephanie macDonalD Latimer Village at Latimer Heights is an ambitious new master-planned development in Langley, with a beautiful new presentation centre. We spoke to Marion Nordin, principal of Area 3 Design about how they made the presentation home so inviting.

New HoMe + CoNdo Guide: In this design you use

a lot of graphic art, specifically writing. How do you choose the kind of graphic art you want and where is a good place to find it?

MN: Dark paint colours can be overwhelming, which is why I like to put light art on the wall to soften the colour. We only tend to do one accent wall with the dark colours. We choose our paint colour to work with the other elements in the room, such as the headboard, bedding and sectional.

NHCG: When choosing a colour for the walls, do you use the same ones throughout the home, or do you treat each room like a separate entity?

MarioN NordiN: I wanted to do a travel-themed

model home, without it being overpowering.

I found the line art online and liked the simplicity of the images.

MN: We treat the entire unit with the same colour

NHCG: When using dramatic paint colours, how do you make sure you don’t overwhelm the room? Do you use the colours that are trendy, or do you make paint decisions based on other factors?

NHCG: What are the design principles of coordinating paint and wallpaper? The bathroom in the show home is a great example of this done really well.

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

themes for unity, but the accent colour can go from light to dark, or for example, charcoal to light grey.

MN: Our job is to complement the tiles chosen for the bathroom. We tend to use beautiful papers that have lots of texture and no pattern. We make sure that they work well with the trim colour and flooring.

NHCG: When you are designing a show home, how do you create a space that seems like a blank canvas for people to project their own lives on to, while also being an aspirational vision for them?

MN: We try to create a space that remains fairly neutral and will appeal to different age groups.

We try to stay away from “themed” rooms but include enough personal items that relate to how a prospective buyer might live in the space – using fabrics with texture, keeping the art abstract but not overly colourful, choosing furniture that has simple lines, area rugs, and drapery panels that are neutral.

Clearly mapping out how every room can be used allows people to picture themselves in the space. nexthome.ca 31

is winter a good time to buy a new home?

by Michelle hopkins

Ask any realtor and they will tell you that conventional real estate wisdom states that spring, and to a lesser extent summer, are the prime seasons for house hunting. One of the reasons for this is simply because people are more likely to get out and shop when the weather is nice.

Yet there are some very compelling reasons for braving the cold dark days of winter.

According to the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), buying in December can translate into more money in your pocket.

“In Vancouver, the typical seasonality effect is 0.3 per cent in average price drops every December,” says Jennifer Hunt, vice-president, REIN research and investor relations at REIN 34 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

- a real estate investment education, analysis, research and strategic leadership resource.

Although no statistics are available only for new builds, Hunt went on to say, “A 0.3 per cent price drop may not be a huge figure if you think about it, but that might mean thousands of dollars in high-priced markets like British Columbia.”

According to Zolo, the average price for a Vancouver home as of November 2019 was $1.2 million. Taking into account a seasonal 0.3 per cent drop, that same property purchased in the winter could translate to $3,600 worth of savings.

However, that may not be enough of a savings, so developers are also offering up all forms of imaginative incentives to attract purchasers.

“

The general narrative in the market today is that as a developer, you need to offer buyers something in December to sell your presales during the final winter push.

”

Winston Terraces

Adil Dinani, who sells new builds, has heard of a variety of winter enticements, including some headline-grabbing ones like free avocado toast, a year’s worth of free wine, free flights, ski and golf packages.

Although these incentives are creative, the principal at Dinani Group Royal LePage doesn’t think they are likely to get serious homebuyers to leave the comfort of their cozy home in the dead of winter.

However, introducing substantial, money-saving promotions allows developers to re-engage with buyers and realtors during the real estate market’s slowest time of year.

“The general narrative in the market today is that as a developer, you need to offer buyers something in December to sell your presales during the

ELIOT at Norquay

final winter push,” says Dinani.

“I’ve seen everything from free upgrade appliance packages, upgrades to more premium finishes throughout, a fully finished basement, to offering a free parking stall, valued at between $25,000 to $35,000.”

Dinani points to RAR Development’s ELIOT at Norquay in East Vancouver, which is hoping to attract buyers with a NO GST/ five-per-cent-off the purchase price for the winter season.

“The marketed price for a threebedroom home at the ELIOT is $885,000 (GST included),” says Dinani. “With the five per cent off, that home will cost you $842,700.”

At Quadstar’s Winston Terraces, a 26-townhome rooftop patio development in Langley, the builder recently introduced a break in the usual 15 per cent down payment rule.

“Rather than 15 per cent, buyers only have to come up with five per cent down,” adds Dinani. “In addition to that, buyers receive a free air conditioning upgrade and a fully furnished rooftop patio, complete with chairs, a fire pit, dining set, and a barbecue.”

Vesta Properties’ billiondollar Latimer Heights project in Langley is also offering some considerable cost savings.

“At Latimer Heights in Langley, we are featuring a $30,000 savings if you move into one of our rowhomes by the end of the year,” says Vesta Properties sales manager Tara Desmond. “While at Latimer Village, condo purchasers can receive up to a $15,000 incentive.”

With Lower Mainland developers offering opportunities to save big, it just might be worth slipping on those boots and warming up the car. nexthome.ca 35

market report SaleS activity ShowS signs of improvement

Scott Brown

The majority of information reported to new multi-family homebuyers is actually data on resales or previously owned homes.

It is not uncommon for developers and builders to list a small fraction of supply on the multiple listing service. This makes it challenging for potential newhome buyers to get the latest on new projects, pricing and the newhome market.

In response to this need, Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Limited produces and shares a quarterly report entitled The Fifth Dimension. The supporting data for this report is objectively collected and presented by Urban Analytics (UA), a leading provider of advisory services on the new multi-family home market. UA has been tracking this market in Metropolitan Vancouver since 1994.

In the recently released edition, overall sales activity in Metro Vancouver’s new-home market continues to be less than robust compared to previous years but is showing signs of improvement.

In the third quarter of 2019, 1,826 new-home sales were recorded, down 47 per cent from the same quarter last year but up eight per cent from last quarter.

Lowrise and townhome sectors performed particularly well compared to the last quarter, both up 11 per cent.

38 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

Market conditions have resulted in a lack of new high-rise project launches, which we predict will eventually lead to lower overall inventory levels in the coming year. High-rise projects that sold in the third quarter either offered a unique product, were well-priced, or had significant short-term buyer incentives.

The low-rise condominium sector continued to show signs of improvement compared to earlier in the year. A total of 646 low-rise condominiums were sold in the third quarter, down 46 per cent compared to the third quarter of 2018 but up 11 per cent from last quarter and up 156 per cent from the first quarter of 2019.

Notable sales activity recently occurred at the following projects: Dawson + Sawyer’s Fleetwood Village Condos (Fleetwood); Mosaic’s Parker (Surrey City Centre); Vesta Properties’ Latimer Village Condos (Langley); Polygon’s Elmstone at Westerleigh (Abbotsford); and Realco Properties’ Scott & Nicholson (North Delta).

The townhome sector has also shown noticeable signs of improvement over the past six months. A total of 563 new townhome sales were recorded in the third quarter of 2019, up 27 per cent from last quarter and up 17 per cent from the same quarter last year.

The recovery and forthcoming stability overall are driven by investor and end-user demand in suburban markets in the Valley and Tri Cities. Product in all suburban

markets between $300,000 and $550,000 continues to absorb quickly. Adjusted townhome prices in Langley/Surrey are absorbing extremely well, too. While condominiums above $750,000 are moving slower, there are first signs of improvement in the large townhome niche. The primary detractor has been consumer concerns about the resale value of their current property and how long it will take to sell.

All in all, prices have stabilized and volume levels will improve.

We project a fourth quarter result of 2,500+ units and foresee a probable 11,000 to 13,000 salesyear in 2020.

amEnItIEs and your

lIfEstylE Cameron mCneill

When people describe their ideal home, there’s a lot of focus on lifestyle. Beyond the everlasting desire for spacious layouts, modern kitchens and a great location, home purchasers want to buy into a community that invites them to live their best life. This is where amenities come into play.

A well-considered amenity package has the power to satisfy any wellness and social need, while making the every day easy, luxurious and more enjoyable.

Developers are racing to offer better and better amenities – common spaces that are unexpected yet useful. In this exercise, creativity is an asset.

Over the years, we’ve seen the standard amenity package – mainly comprised of a fitness room and party lounge – morph into something more elaborate. To begin with, fitness is expanding beyond just a few cardio machines. Fully equipped gyms, sometimes complete with punching bags, are paired with yoga studios, basketball courts and infrared saunas, encouraging residents to ditch their monthly gym memberships. It’s easier to stick with your wellness goals when everything you need is truly only steps from your living room.

That non-descript party lounge is now designed to the same elevated ideal as residences.

40 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

Sports court at Kings Crossing by Cressey Development Group.

Fireplaces, cozy places to sit, longtable dining areas and catering kitchens with premium appliances are incorporated into spaces with personality. The lounge is intended to be used every day to meet with neighbours or to simply hang out with a book, rather than purely for special occasions. This revamped lounge is about belonging to a community and providing the space to be together.

Adding to that notion of togetherness, games rooms, libraries, co-working spaces, workshops, music rooms, kids’ playrooms and other purposeful areas are cropping up to inspire connection.

Nature and the outdoors are closely tied to a high quality of life, which makes them a must-have in today’s residential developments.

We’ve seen a range of outdoor amenities strike a chord with residents – from rooftop patios to courtyard gardens to outdoor

pools. You’ll even find off-leash dog parks and bocce courts.

It’s said that variety is the spice of life. In our modern, fast-paced society, we want everything at our fingertips – a social life, health and wellness and entertainment. Why not have it all at home?

Townhome or condominium living is no longer a compromise.

With enhanced amenities, it’s an experience that rivals the singlefamily home and opens the door to an unbelievable lifestyle.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

Garden City Lands in Richmond

RICHMOND CENTRE

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Richmond City Centre runs roughly from Blundell Road north to Middle Arm of the Fraser River and from No. 4 Road, west to Gilbert Road, with a small extension at the north end of Gilbert to take in the neighbourhood around the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The whole of Richmond has the highest percentage of immigrants of any city in Canada and the second highest percentage of visible minorities (about two46 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 30–Dec. 14, 2019

thirds). Those numbers are even more evident in the City Centre.

The population of this downtown core is growing rapidly - from 38,610 in 2006 to 48,185 in 2011, and is expected to reach 100,000 by 2041.

LIFESTYLE

Let’s put it this way - this enclave attracts well-heeled fashionistas and Asian cuisine culinary snobs.

It’s fair to say, “Lifestyle of the rich and the very rich.”

VIBE

Richmond Centre, being very culturally diverse and vibrant, is increasingly becoming a destination neighbourhood for the region, with the combination of the emerging dining scene, major malls and shopping, attractions like the Night Market, River Rock and the Richmond Olympic Oval.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

This urban “village” is coming to life as a new neighbourhood filled

HOT SPOTS

RICHMOND NIGHT MARKET

Richmond Olympic Oval

with high-density condominium buildings attracting a lot of young Asian adults and seniors. These two cohorts make up the two fastest growing segments of Richmond’s population.

This popular annual summer night market features 120 food vendors, dishing up everything from Afghan Bolani and Korean drumsticks, to corn dogs and traditional Asian street snacks such as barbecued squid and succulent BBQ’d skewered meats.

IN THE AREA

Glitz, a new condo development by iFortune

Richmond Centre is transforming into a much more walkable community with a vibrant streetscape, a transition from its recent past, when it was mainly characterized by large shopping malls surrounded by sizable parking lots and car-oriented strip mall development. It is also where you will discover Aberdeen Centre, the second-largest Asian mall in Canada, just behind Pacific Mall in Markham, Ontario.

RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT Richmond’s only Forbesrated four-diamond resort hotel, it is home to a 144slip marina, several dining options and a show theatre.

And lest we forget, you can gamble the night away.

PLANES, TRANS & AUTOMOBILES

The Seniors Centre at the Minoru Centre for Active Living

Served by the Canada Line, with four stations in the City Centre area (and a fifth in planning stages), and minutes to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), it’s no wonder people are moving here in droves.

REAL ESTATE: (NEW BUILDS)

Park Village condos by Grand Long Holdings Canada Ltd. and Park Village Investments Investment

Residential development is typically low- and mid-rise condominium buildings. Many towers also incorporate some commercial uses at lower levels. There’s also a significant amount of retail, office and hotel development, primarily along No. 3 Road.

GOLDEN VILLAGE Boasting the best Chinese food outside of China, if you start at Alexandra Road and go three blocks in any direction, you’ll find approximately 200 restaurants serving Asian cuisine.

NEWBIE NotEs

HomeownersHip before marriage

by AmAnDA pereirA My partner M and I lived with his family for two years before deciding it was time for us to spread our proverbial wings and leave the nest. After a few months of looking, settling on a new build, and solidifying our buy by signing on the dotted line, the agent representing our builder looked at my partner seriously, pointed a finger at him and said: “You got her the house, now it’s time you made an honest woman out of her.”

I gave him a weak smile in response. The statement, though perhaps well-intentioned, was completely out of this century.

Still, it made me consider just how much the trend has shifted in terms of the order of life’s traditional milestones.

A decade ago, my ultraconservative, very traditional Portuguese grandmother might have erupted into histrionics while collapsing to the floor at the idea of me living out of wedlock – never mind buying real estate without a ring on my finger.

When I told her in 2017 that M and I had bought our first home, she touched my hand and said, “Parabéns.” – congratulations. She was proud of our accomplishment in a landscape that makes it challenging for Millennials to get into the market to begin with.

According to two recent reports, we are not alone in choosing to buy a home before committing to matrimony. A study in 2018 of homebuyers conducted by the Canada Mortgage and Housing

Corporation found that less than half of Millennial first-time homebuyers surveyed were married, compared to Gen Xers, based on a survey in which nine per cent of responders were firsttime homebuyers.

A 2019 report by Pew Research Center substantiates this claim, noting that not only are Millennials less financially secure next to their predecessors, but the trend for getting married later in life has been going on for nearly two generations. Only 46 per cent of surveyed Millennials between the ages of 25 and 37 were married, compared to 67 per cent of Baby Boomers and 57 per cent of Gen Xers at the same age.

It’s not just the perception of marriage that’s changing, it’s the size of home desired

by Millennials, too. First-time homebuyers are purchasing

smaller homes, with 61 per cent having purchased a singledetached home in 2018. Long gone are the days of aspiring to own a home like the McCallister’s à la Home Alone: Pew Research Center notes that Millennials are experiencing a shift in priorities with a renewed focus on convenience and minimalism.

McMansions are now a thing of holidays’ past.

The emphasis on marriage before buying real estate isn’t what it once was. Call it a change in trends, a shift in priorities, or financial and emotional maturity.

The only thing that is for certain is while we may be delaying exchanging vows, we aren’t giving up on our aspirations for homeownership – we’re just delaying the nuptials in exchange for the keys and the satisfaction of saying ‘home sweet home.’
