EDITOR’S NOTE

THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN A

TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

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

There’s no getting away from it: global warming and the climate change that comes with it are negatively affecting the planet. Although reducing your carbon footprint while enjoying a modern lifestyle may seem overwhelming, there is a simple step to take now that can benefit you – and the planet – in the long-run. Choose to live in a transitoriented development.

We all remember the thrill and freedom of our first car, but these days, heavy traffic, long commutes, and high gas prices have taken the joy out of the “joy ride”. If you are looking for a pre-sale home and want to experience a cleaner, car-free life, consider living in transit-oriented development (TOD).

These artfully designed communities are being built near transit hubs and bicycle-friendly pathways, while also incorporating convenient retail and commercial services within walking distance of your new home.

Because TODs are a smart new-home buying option, we’ve included a number of articles in this issue that focus on these developments, so you can get in on the ground floor. Not sure what a TOD is? Why not start your research with the story on page 22 to learn more.

As always, this issue is packed with other great articles to help you find, purchase and personalize your new home. Turn to page 30 and read about the return of homebuyer incentives and if you are planning to decorate your new space, the article on page 44 is about furniture and design trends to look out for this fall.

We hope you enjoy what you see. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

FRAMED IN NEW WESTMINSTER

LOVING THE LOW-RISE LIFE Areva Living is about to launch First & Royal, the only upcoming wood frame building in New Westminster. First & Royal is a sixstorey lowrise featuring a collection of 189 residences, including townhomes and studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom condos starting from $299,000. Located park side, minutes from the New Westminster Pier and the Columbia SkyTrain hub, First & Royal will also offer an outdoor movie theatre on the roof-top deck.

This new project comes on the heels of The Royals, a heritage revitalization and development of two six-storey buildings.

DID YOU KNOW?

Surrey’s tallest residential tower, One Central, recently celebrated a topping off with partners and community members and is on target for spring 2023 completion.

Donating kitchen comfort

A growing interest There are many new multi-family projects vying for the attention of homebuyers, several of which offer great locations, nice architecture, lots of amenities and thoughtfully designed interiors. Urban garden allotment plots were popular before the pandemic and now is one amenity that has skyrocketed in interest. The most obvious reason is

when you have your own garden, you are picking your produce at its peak, making your food more nutrientpacked and tastier than what you find in the grocery store. Essence Properties understands this growing trend and will be offering garden allotment plots at some of its newest multi-family projects, including Eastin in Langley.

Pre-sale incentives More than 150 people lined up down the street on July 23 for Contour Metrotown’s public grand opening.

Attendees took advantage of incentives such as a 10 per cent deposit due in the first 24 months, and a 10 per cent discount on all homes, with savings up to $150,000. In addition, refreshments and prizes were given away and the first 50 people in line received a $25 Visa gift card. The 24-storey mixed use tower featuring 120 junior, one-, twoand three-bedroom homes is set to complete in spring 2025. Contour is a partnership between SVM Homes and Kirpal Group, and activity at the event surpassed its target sales projection for the weekend.

Wesgroup Properties recently launched a unique new pilot program. Once it sells out the homes of its new projects, the developer will donate display kitchens from its presentation centres. So far, the project has brought company volunteers together to help dismantle and load kitchen appliances, countertops and more, to help two charities — Habitat for Humanity and the North Shore Women’s Centre, a drop-in centre where women from different backgrounds come to access resources and other muchneeded support. Wesgroup Properties would like to continue to find ways to give back when it has valuable and useful pieces for the home that it no longer needs when the pre-sale process is complete. nexthome.ca

COVER STORY

THE AMAZING BRENTWOOD YOUR PLACE TO BE

Tower Six is the latest real estate opportunity in Neighbourhood Two at The Amazing Brentwood (view facing northwest)

It’s official: savvy homebuyers just can’t get enough of The Amazing Brentwood by SHAPE. Tower 5 in this sought-after master-planned community sold out within months of opening the doors as people discovered the unparalleled luxury and urban vibe that defines this shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in Burnaby.

If you’re among the people who missed this earlier offering, here’s some news you won’t want to miss.

Tower Six is coming soon, and these homes are going to have even more of a “Wow Factor”.

ICONIC BY DESIGN

“Tower Six is going to be an incredibly special building in so many ways,” says Brenda Parris, marketing director with SHAPE. “It’s our most boutique tower to date—only 369 exclusive homes located on the far northwest corner of this master14

New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 6–20, 2022

planned community. The views will be amazing—the North Shore Mountains, the sparkling ocean, and the Vancouver skyline.”

But it’s Tower Six’s iconic architecture that Brenda is most excited about. “This building’s signature cascading terraces offer a seamless transition from The Amazing Brentwood’s urban energy to the serenity of the surrounding neighbourhood, a unique design that celebrates the rarity of its location within the community. When people ask which building you live in, all you’ll have to say is ‘the one with terraces,’ and everyone will know exactly where you mean.”

And make no mistake, these private terraces are massive, with some as large as 3,000 sq. ft. For anyone who loves entertaining and dazzling views, these exquisite spaces simply await your design inspiration to be transformed into a landscaped oasis

like no other. An outdoor kitchen, harvest dining table, intimate lounge seating with a fire pit, water feature or private garden, the options are as limitless as your imagination.

MAKE A STATEMENT

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is no ordinary residence.

“Tower Six will feature The Amazing Brentwood’s largest, most spectacular lobby with a striking exterior water feature,” Brenda says. Inside, the hotel-inspired Lobby Lounge will span 4,500 sq. ft., with soaring double- and triple-height ceilings and windows.

Accessed via either the Willingdon Avenue or Brentwood Boulevard entryways, this multi-lounge space features contemporary wood panelling, a double-sided fireplace, plus the convenience of a full-service concierge. “In short, every detail has been meticulously curated to enhance your lifestyle,” Brenda says.

400,000+ sq. ft. of market-leading retailers include Nike, Adidas, Sephora, Cineplex VIP and B.C.’s first locations of H&M Home, The Rec Room and L.L.Bean with more to come in Neighbourhood Two.

DYNAMIC COMMUNITY

“The Amazing Brentwood has already evolved into a community and an urban destination,” Brenda notes. “Global brands like L.L.Bean, H&M Home, and Sporting Life have all chosen Brentwood as their first locations in B.C. because they understand there’s an unmistakable energy here, a magic that’s taking on a life of its own and will just keep getting stronger over time.”

Sure to become the centre of outdoor social gatherings year-round is The Amazing Brentwood’s one-acre public plaza, an extravaganza of art installations, comfortable seating and patios that create a unique energy and vitality.

Don’t feel like cooking? No problem. Here’s just a teaser of the more than 30 eateries right outside your door: HaiDiLao Hotpot, Hello Nori, Neptune Seafood, Small

Tower Six’s signature cascading terraces, view facing west

Victory Bakery, OEB Breakfast, Bella Gelateria, and TABLES, The Amazing Brentwood’s signature casual dining space. Salud!

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

BRENTWOOD BURNABY A LAID-BACK VIBE

by MIKE ARCHIBALD A quiet, pretty pocket of Burnaby, this small neighbourhood is located between Lougheed Highway in the south, Hastings St. in the north, Springer Ave. in the east and Willingdon Ave. in the west. It’s a place of condos, modest homes, pleasant parks and friendly folks, and the stretch of Hastings St. offers small-business shopping at its best, from bakeries to ramen.

LIFESTYLE

It’s the best of both worlds in Brentwood: you’ve got a mellow residential area bordered on the north 16

New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 6–20, 2022

by a nearly corporate-free shopping district. The houses are older—i.e. better looking—and quite compact, with cozy cul-de-sacs here and there.

The southern boundary consists of Brentwood Town Centre, which is balanced by the presence of a Skytrain station in the same spot.

THE VIBE

Laid back is the best expression to sum up Brentwood: there’s very little noise north of the town centre, and the mood is sedate. It’s a nice walk to the commercial district on Hastings, where there are lots of places to

chill—and chilling is what you’ll see on a sunny day, with legions of residents enjoying coffee and biscotti outside cafes or ambling leisurely through a grocery trip.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

According to the City of Burnaby’s Neighbourhood Profiles, this is a relatively young neighbourhood, with the largest age bracket being 20-44.

Second in the age stats is the 45-64 bracket. The area is ethnically diverse, with nearly half the population consisting of immigrants. It’s a middle-class neighbourhood, with

HOT SPOTS

CHEZ CHRISTOPHE Everybody say, “mmmm.”

Christophe’s creations are heaven for the taste buds, and as a Swiss-trained chocolatier, he brings expertise and refined taste to his work. The creations are truly inspired.

TAKE SUSHI

families housed in neat condos and little one-level homes.

IN THE AREA

Brentwood Park is a spacious, lush area for a stroll with the dog or fun with the kids; you might happen on some Tai Chi exercising as well.

Adjoining it is Brentwood Preschool, and nearby are three places of worship: The Sanctuary, Holy Cross Church and Brentwood Park Alliance Church. Other amenities in the neighbourhood include Beecher Park and Alpha Secondary School.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Lougheed Highway at the south is a major thoroughfare, but Hastings St. up top, while a main street, is quite mellow in terms of traffic, and

Willingdon Ave. isn’t very busy either.

Together the bordering roads provide great transportation in and out of the neighbourhood. Public transportation is great, with multiple bus lines on Willingdon and Hastings and the Brentwood Town Centre Skytrain Station. Bike options are not great.

This is a cut above your average sushi spot. These guys get creative, with sashimi plates that are as beautiful to look at as they are scrumptious to eat.

Special items include a fresh oyster dish—delicious.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REST

What’s not to like? With two commercial centres at opposite ends and nothing but peace and quiet in between, it makes for the perfect environment for families (temporary residents and singles, not so much).

And hey, if the suburbs are too quiet for you, the Skytrain will whisk you into Vancouver. The minus column is pretty empty, but one item in it is the relative lack of proper sidewalks.

BON BON BAKERY Italian baking! One look at the Wedding Cake Gallery and you know these guys are solid pros. Their pastries are also superb, and they have some very inspired cookie creations.

ADVICE | HAVAN REPORT

A TRANSIT CORRIDOR PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST PASSING THROUGH

RON RAPP

New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 6–20, 2022

On June 21, 2022, Vancouver City Council voted in favour of the new Broadway Plan that lays out the nature and direction of development and redevelopment along the Broadway rapid transit line currently under construction. This plan has been in the making for more than four years and will establish a baseline

for growth in this area over the next 30 years, bringing in as many as 50,000 new residents.

This plan was controversial, hotly debated, and involved many hours over several days of public hearings to listen to arguments from proponents and opponents. It was also subject to more than 40 amendments

“

For too long, we have avoided and postponed efforts to create an accessible, efficient and integrated transit system, and have followed land use and zoning policies that are “exclusionary” in nature, and prioritized lower density housing forms in demand areas.

introduced by members of council and the mayor. It did pass, and that was absolutely the right thing to do.

financial contributions from federal, provincial, and municipal sources. As well, for it to be paid for and operated successfully, it requires a high volume of regular users. The low populations and density that are often adjacent to these new (and older) transit lines simply cannot provide the required level of support.

The higher densities contemplated will be a springboard for development, but they will also provide much needed housing and an increase in supply to slow the movement to the fringes of our urban areas that encourage sprawl, eat up valuable agricultural lands, and promote a car-reliant and commuting culture. The volume and variety of housing choices planned around transit lines will provide affordable housing options for service workers, the “missing middle” cohort, and offer consideration to renters with significant below-market components.

RESIDENTIAL DENSITY ESSENTIAL

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Whether the Broadway line, or the proposed rapid transit links extending south of the Fraser River and into Langley, it is essential that the land adjacent to these transit corridors are allowed to have a significant increase in residential density and retail and commercial use because without this support, the transit lines cannot be financially sustained.

The costs associated with the provision and construction of these transit lines is staggering, requiring

For too long, we have avoided and postponed efforts to create an accessible, efficient and integrated transit system, and have followed land use and zoning policies that are “exclusionary” in nature, and prioritized lower density housing forms in demand areas. This supply and demand imbalance is at the core of what is driving the housing and affordability crisis we are facing today.

By placing lower density options first, the viability of expanding transit

”

and other civic infrastructure and services becomes questionable and very expensive. In the Lower Mainland, surrounded by a border, the sea and mountains, highly valuable land resources become even more expensive, driving the spiral of rising costs we have witnessed, and setting the stage for conflict between existing residents and proponents of higher densities.

In every major urban centre across the globe where mass transit lines have been established, there has been the building of higher density and mixed-use developments that grow and thrive in a symbiotic fashion with the residents, becoming successful, vibrant, and sustainable communities that complement the existing lower density neighbourhoods adjacent.

Change is the only constant, and in this instance, these changes are well precedented, will address urgent needs, and will build sustainable communities to the benefit of all.

A TRANSIT-ORIENTED LIFESTYLE CONVENIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

by SUSAN M BOYCE Once upon a time, not so long ago, owning a car was a rite of passage.

Every teen longed for the freedom of having their own set of wheels. For less than five bucks per fill, these gas guzzlers were the ultimate in cool.

Buses? Well, they were reserved for nerds and the elderly.

That was the norm until climate change became impossible to ignore. Greta Thunberg and the Paris Accord were suddenly part of the everyday vernacular, and an entire generation can no longer imagine a home without recycling bins and blue boxes.

Today, transit is the new cool, two wheels are the preferred commuting vehicle for legions of people of all generations, and EVs are taking over roads and parkades everywhere.

THE NEW URBAN LIFESTYLE

For savvy developers, this paradigm shift is radically changing the way they design neighbourhoods. Transitoriented developments (TODs) are, according to many, the way of the future, a welcome return to a 22

New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 6–20, 2022

SkyTrain remains the transit option of choice for many.

THE SIX D’S OF TODS Here are the six key components, known as the Six D’s, that define a TOD. 1. DESTINATIONS: Well-coordinated land use and transportation options that allow fast, reliable, and cost-effective travel between destinations.

Century City Holland Park’s foyer directly accesses the bike repair station (far right).

more socially engaged, active, and sustainable lifestyle.

“As our lives get busier, transitoriented communities offer a new level of convenience, accessibility, and urban living,” says Brenda Parris, director of residential marketing with SHAPE Properties. “By developing communities that include shops, restaurants, entertainment and social spaces, with homes that are seamlessly connected to rapid transit, you have easy access to the entire region without the burden of traffic.

You get to experience the best of the city within steps of your front door.”

TODs, Parris says, are increasingly attractive to new buyers who value social experiences, environmental sustainability, personal well-being, and the luxury of convenience.

Homeowners who invest in these communities also typically enjoy an exponential return on their investment and their lifestyle for generations to come.

AUTO LIBERATION

Bob Ransford, Century Group’s vicepresident of development, could well be considered a poster boy for the TOD lifestyle. “I haven’t owned a car for six years,” he says. “Being auto-liberated gives you a sense of freedom you often don’t think about until you experience it.”

Ransford uses his three-hour daily commute productively attending to emails, paperwork, research or reading, and feeling grateful he’s not one of the folks stuck in the traffic jams he cruises past.

“Designing TODs is always about the benefits of having services and amenities close enough so you don’t actually need a car. For example, at Century City Holland Park in Surrey, we advertised the number of minutes it took to walk to things like pubs, shops, and transit.” He adds that all were less than 10 minutes, and most were under five.

Another significant benefit he says many people don’t think about is enhanced buying power. “When you don’t have auto expenses like insurance, gas, repairs, and, in most cases, a loan payment, that’s extra money you have available. So you could purchase a larger or more premium home, or you might decide to bank those funds toward goals like travel, education, or starting a business.”

Transit-oriented developments — living in one helps you to stay cool and enjoy the journey. Keep your eyes on the many beautiful, sustainable, and connected TODs coming your way.

2. DISTANCE: Well-integrated street networks that encourage walking or cycling and provide easy connection to transit routes.

3. DESIGN: Lively, animated streetscapes that create spaces for people to gather, socialize and enjoy a safe, inviting public realm. Parking, if it’s provided, is tucked away from the sidewalk and plaza interfaces.

4. DENSITY: Concentrate growth and density within 800 metres of transit, allowing more frequent service.

5. DIVERSITY: Incorporate different housing types, retail, and services to create vibrant, resilient neighbourhoods for every generation.

6. DEMAND MANAGEMENT: Create incentives that encourage people to find alternatives to private vehicle use, such as segregated bike lanes, shady pedestrian walkways, outdoor patios and plazas.

The Amazing Brentwood features engaging public plazas and direct access to SkyTrain.

ADVICE | INDUSTRY EXPERT

HOW TRANSIT PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT

BRITTANY REIMER

Access to public transit plays a vital role in many peoples’ lives. That is why TransLink has committed to quadrupling rapid transit offerings, expanding bike lanes and more in the Transport 2050 strategy laying out plans for the next 30 years.

Developers continue to respond to the demand by homebuyers to develop in areas that provide access to everything they need within walking, cycling and public transit distance and increasing development in dense communities.

At an Urban Development Institute (a non-profit organization representing those in all facets of land development and planning) luncheon hosted in April, TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn spoke on the future of transit and how it affects real estate, and vice versa.

“We can’t ignore that transit plays a vital role in keeping the region moving and that there is an opportunity to do something different, to innovate and work with the construction industry, while addressing shared goals,” said Quinn.

Other highlights in the report included doubling regional bus service levels; expanding shared mobility options, for example cars, bikes and e-scooters; managing the transition to smart EVs; and promoting multimodal mobility where people can make trips easily using multiple forms of transport. Hundreds of kilometres of traffic-separated cycling paths will be built as well.

The expansion of major public transit presents many opportunities for development in the Greater Vancouver area. We’re seeing new initiatives coming into play that speak directly to the need for increased density and affordability in the housing market. One notable example is the Broadway Plan, which aims to combat the lack of affordable housing in Vancouver by integrating housing, jobs, and amenities by the new Broadway Station – spanning from Mount Pleasant to Kitsilano.

The good news is that there is already pre-sale housing ready to go in convenient neighbourhoods.

Frame, consisting of 217 concrete one- to three-bedroom homes, by Coromandel Properties & Peterson Group, is located at the corner of Kingsway and Earles Street, nestled between downtown and Metrotown.

The 29th Avenue SkyTrain Station is only a 10-minute stroll away, while Metropolis, with its 330 stores, is just a 10-minute drive away. And anytime residents are hungry, popular restaurants like Do Chay, Xing Fu Tang

and House of Dosa are all right on the doorstep.

For those who want to be even closer to B.C.’s largest shopping centre, O2 Metrotown by Keltic at Sussex Avenue and Beresford Street is virtually next door. The 32-storey condominium is also 350 metres from Metrotown Station that can get riders into the heart of Vancouver in 20 minutes. There are plenty of additional amenities easily walkable or bike-able to: Bonsor Recreation Complex has a pool, weight room and yoga and racquet sports facilities; and Central Park houses a pitch & putt course, playground, and picnic spots, among other things.

Brittany Reimer is managing director of MLA Canada’s Fraser Valley branch. Brittany uses her experience, relationships and passion for the real estate marketing industry to help push MLA into a new frontier.

Good news Homebuyer incentives are back

by SuSan m boyce

Industry watchers are unanimous, Metro Vancouver’s long overheated market is finally showing signs of cooling ever so slightly. And as the frenzy of bidding wars that saw properties sell in mere days for 15 or 20 percent over asking are abating, many developers are reintroducing a past staple of new home marketing — buyer incentives.

In this issue, we chat with Jamie Squires, president of marketing at Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing, about some of the bonuses buyers might discover at a presentation centre.

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 6–20, 2022

new home + condo Guide: Prepaid strata fees used to be a fairly common incentive. Are these making a comeback?

Jamie squires: They are. Prepaid strata fees for one or two years have always been popular with buyers. The developer puts the money in a trust fund and the money is paid directly to the strata every month. The other option is to take an equivalent, lump sum payment that’s applied against the purchase price, which is a good option for many first-time buyers since it lowers the required down payment.

nh+cG: What about mortgage buy-downs now that interest rates are climbing far more rapidly than most people predicted?

Js: Again, we’re definitely seeing buy-downs return to the market.

It’s important,however, to put this in perspective. Rising rates reduce buying power, but we’ve enjoyed historically low interest rates for a number of years, so there was only one way for them to go. A variable mortgage has always been a gamble.

One thing we’re encouraging buyers to do right now is get a

blanket appraisal that locks in the rate until completion rather than just for three or four months. It’s not really a buyer incentive, but it is something people should be aware of. nh+cG: What are some of the other incentives you’re seeing in the market?

Js: Parking stalls prewired for an EV, a free air conditioning upgrade, appliance upgrades, and reduced or completely eliminating assignment fees are several incentives people seem to like. There was also one developer who gave every homeowner free avocado toast for a year in the coffee shop on the street-

Insignia, Surrey condos

level retail. That was a funny one, but buyers liked it. nh+cG: What’s the most innovative incentive you’ve seen?

Js: There’s a condo development in Maple Ridge that’s offering a $1.00 deposit. Full details aren’t available yet, but I do find this one a bit concerning. Right now, it appears that to qualify, you need to own another home. I’d be worried buyers might have to take out a collateral or second mortgage on their first home.

It’s definitely something you would need to be very, very cautious of and have an experienced real estate lawyer on board.

nh+cG: Any final thoughts?

Js: Even with rising interest rates, now is a good time to be shopping for a new home. Developers are more open to negotiating. So, no matter what the advertised incentives are, when you go into a sales centre, think about asking for extras. And if there are two things you really want, for sample an EV parking space and air conditioning, ask for several other items, too. That way you can let some things go and everyone feels like they’ve won. Because win-win is always good.

A shady deal Now is the time to begin thinking about what goes on under your trees and on the north side of your house, where you will find some interesting opportunities to plant a ‘shade’ garden.

For fool-proof garden performance, we recommend the winter tough ‘PJM’ varieties if you live in Ottawa.

Boxwood (Buxus) electrified in their intensity. They like to grow in an open, peaty soil. Once they dry out, they do not rehydrate well, so to prevent drying, be sure to mulch with five cm of shredded cedar bark.

Rhododendrons Rhodies, as they are affectionately known in the business, have a special place in the shade garden. They love an acid soil, which is opposite to the alkaline stuff most of us put up, if you live in Southern Ontario. Always plant your rhododendrons in an open, sandy soil mixed with finely ground-up pine bark, about 30 per cent by volume.

Here is a broad-leafed evergreen that performs very well in Ottawa and Montreal. Since boxwood is an evergreen, treat it as such with a humus-based soil of peat or compost, and fertilize with an evergreen food such as 30-10-10 every month or so until the middle of the summer.

Check out the many boxwood hybrids that have been introduced over the years. You will get a deeper colour and more finely textured foliage with these versus the original version of Korean Boxwood.

Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium)

Native to B.C., this plant features holly-like leaves that remain on the plant all winter and are replaced each

spring as new growth occurs. They have a delightful yellow flower in spring and a dense, shrubby growth habit. Oregon grape matures to about one metre or so high and equally wide. We like it best when planted on the fringe of a hardwood bush or under the shade of tall deciduous trees and shrubs.

Now, about those shade trees If you have trees on your property that were planted within the last three years, watering is of critical importance this time of year. A mature 20-metre-high maple tree transpires over 500 litres of water on a hot day.

That is why it is important to get water on its roots.

Apply water to the root zone of your young and mature trees by placing a hose at the base of the tree with just a trickle of water coming out at the end of it. Leave it there for three or four hours. The water needs to seep deeply into the root zone for it to be of any benefit.

ADVICE | MORTGAGE MINUTE

VARIABLE VERSUS AN ADJUSTABLE-RATE

MORTGAGE ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

It’s more commonly known that there are two types of mortgages: fixed rate and variable rate. However, you may not aware that there are two types of mortgages where the interest rate can change depending on the lender’s prime rate. These are known as a variable-rate mortgage and an adjustable-rate mortgage.

It’s good to know the difference, since most people are currently opting to go with a variable rate or adjustable-rate versus a fixed rate.

AN ADJUSTABLE-RATE MORTGAGE (ARM OR FLOATING RATE):

Your mortgage payments will automatically adjust based on your lender’s prime rate to ensure that you maintain the original amortization schedule of your mortgage (the number of years it will take to pay it off).

When the Bank of Canada makes any changes to its overnight key lending rate, it affects your lender’s prime rate, which in turn affects the changes in your interest rate.

This means that when the prime rate increases, your mortgage payments increase, and if the prime rate decreases, your mortgage payments will decrease.

A VARIABLE RATE MORTGAGE (VRM):

A variable rate mortgage is one where the interest rates change with the market but your monthly payments are always the same. So, the difference between a variable

rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage is that with a VRM, your payments will remain the same regardless of what happens to your lender’s prime rate during the term of your mortgage. If the prime rate increases, your payments will not change, yet you will be paying more interest and less principal. If the prime rate decreases, you will be paying more principal and less interest.

However, it is important to be aware that your amortization period maybe longer if interest rates (prime rate) increase or shorter if the prime rate decreases.

COMMONALITIES BETWEEN VARIABLE AND ADJUSTABLERATE MORTGAGES

With both types of mortgages, if you choose to pay out your mortgage early, your penalty will only be a three-month interest penalty.

You can also lock your variable or adjustable mortgage into a fixed rate at any time during the term without paying a penalty. However, you will need to lock into a longer

term compared to what your current term is. For example, if you have three years and five months left on your term, you will need to lock into a four year or higher term. If you do choose to lock in, you must be aware that you will be subject to much higher penalties.

If you are not sure of whether to go with a variable or an adjustable mortgage or if you are concerned with the with prime rate increasing, talk to a mortgage expert and they will help you find the best option for your individual needs.

As our lives our home should evolve in its style or function or a combination of both to meet those changes

New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 6–20, 2022

Y

ou’ve undoubtedly heard the term “forever home,” but does it actually exist? Every few years in our lifetime, whether on purpose or not, our circumstances change – a new job, a new spouse, a new child, a change of scenery. All this to say, our lives change and in turn, so do our homes.

At least, that’s what should happen. Think about all the milestones you’ve enjoyed through the last 10 to 15 years, big and small. If your home hasn’t changed in that time, then it’s probably not working for you anymore. Our homes should evolve, whether in its style, function or more likely, a combination of both.

How do you endure all that change? And more importantly, how does your budget survive? Whether you’re building, renovating or updating, here are my two tips to lead your home through life’s paces.

›››Timeless appeal

The most painless way of surviving change is by choosing timeless finishes and furnishings for your home from the get-go. Neutrals never seem to go out of style, and there’s a very good reason for that. Neutral colours have universal appeal because, if you think about it, there’s not much about this palette to offend. It is subtle, simple and frankly, it doesn’t have a lot to say. While this last point might sound somewhat negative, it’s actually a good thing — especially in relation to longevity. Rather than making a bold statement, neutral hues tend to hang back and let the other elements do all the talking. Focal points and pops of colour can come in small but potent doses, and then when it’s no longer in style, it’s relatively easy and cheap to update.

Think upholstery and bedding, window coverings, area rugs, artwork, and small pieces of furniture. Meanwhile, go neutral for larger-scale elements that are also generally more expensive, including flooring, countertops and cabinets, backsplash, appliances, walls and even larger pieces of furniture. By going neutral, you won’t have to update these any time soon.

›››But change does happen

Whether you like it or not, change happens. Some of my clients’ first instinct is to resist change, and that never works out well. Instead, it’s best to embrace it. The “timeless” tip above admittedly requires some forethought when planning, designing and outfitting your home. But if you haven’t thought quite that far ahead in the past, don’t be afraid to make some changes as life happens, to enhance your home’s function and ensure it performs the way you

need and want it to. This is the main reason the home decor and renovation business is such a booming one.

Try to get ahead of life’s changes. We don’t always know what’s coming down the pipe, so when purchasing something new for the home, always look for a multifunctional option. Aside from performing its primary function, multi-purpose pieces will always give you a lot more mileage by virtue of their design. For example, an ottoman that doubles as storage and triples as extra seating or a table-type surface gives the standard foot-rest-only ottoman a run for its money. The great news is, multifunctional design has found its way into every room, so there’s no excuse!

I believe the “forever home” is more about adaptability than a particular property with a set style. As our tastes evolve and our household structure changes and grows, a home’s interior needs to bend to meet those needs. A welldesigned home can meet every need, and look great at the same time.

Furniture and design trends to watch for

osy palettes, inspiration from past decades, and a bold expression in design that highlights an awakening we have all experienced as we slowly slip out of the pandemic — these are the drivers behind the trends to expect this fall.

While we move toward embracing comfort, sustainability continues to be a focus in the supply chain. We will need to be intentional about spaces that will impact how we live while emphasizing our well-being and productivity. As we say goodbye to all-white kitchens, fast furniture, minimalism, and open floorplans, we are excited about the optimism and revival these trends are offering in everything from colours and material to furniture and design.

Most importantly, as we move into the subsequent seasons and infuse our homes with personality, there will be a return to lasting style. Consumers are ready to purchase one-of-akind, beautifully well-made items for timeless design that will look great no matter what the decade.

An ode to nature, a return to decadence and

an embrace of what is being termed as “newstalgia” — this is what is coming for fall 2022

MODERN TAKE ON VINTAGE CLASSICS Inspiration taken from the decadent art deco movement, a refined 1960 to 1980’s retro vibe and a modern play on the grand millennial chic of the 1990s has resulted in layering these decades and artfully recreating and honing these eras to usher them into 2022.

With the return of the roll arm sofa, skirted furniture and plush channel tufting, the textures feel calm, mindful and warm. The prints evoke a feeling of nostalgia while celebrating the now, all the while honouring and satisfying our craving for serenity and wellbeing, elevating our need for newness and excitement.

From warm ochres, muted terracotta and sage to earthy browns and fanciful caramel, these tones will live in harmony and add warmth and richness, bringing the fall indoors to provide a reinvigorating, comfortable and exciting vibe for when we settle into the winter season.

EMBRACE THE EXCESS While we loved the minimalist japandi style with the peaceful calm vibes of the Scandinavian influence, maximalism is ushering its way into our design schemes and we are loving it all. It gives us a chance to indulge in personality, glamour and create breathtaking moments with one-of-a-kind pieces in the home. Luxe wallpapers, detailed tile installations, sculptural detail and an array of playful shapes and architectural touches means this trend is about going big and bold.

This season’s furniture, decor, and design trends are all about embracing luxe. Think ultravelvets, coloured marble, honed-in sculptural pieces and the everevolving rattan and statementmaking light fixtures. We anticipate designers curating bespoke pieces and consumers paying tribute to their one-of-a-kind taste to honour the maximalist design style. Expect to see a refreshing spotlight on warm earthy neutrals in stone and clay materials, and minimally textured plasters that will reflect the craftsmanship and artistry we love.
