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

The New Year is still a couple of weeks away, but for many of us, vacation mode has already begun. All of our regular responsibilities go by the wayside as we slow down, relax and take a few days off from the daily grind.

During the shorter days and longer nights of late-December, when it seems as if the world has stopped to take a breath, you may want to pause and think about the new home you’ve been dreaming of owning. Where would it be located? What would it look like? And most importantly, could you afford it?

This past year has been an interesting one for B.C.’s housing market, with prices across all home types seeing a much-needed correction. In her year-endreview on page 48, writer Susan M Boyce speaks to industry experts about the events of the past 12 months. We hope their insight will be helpful to you on your house-hunting journey.

Once you’ve found your next home, you may want to purchase some new furniture to celebrate. We’ve got you covered. On page 38, you’ll find 10 functional and stylish items that will add a touch of glam to any small space.

Wishing you and your family happy holidays and all the best in 2020!

NOV. 27

SPARKLING LIGHTS Renowned Vancouver artist Rodney Graham’s huge spinning chandelier is a sparkling, twirling 3,400-kilogram sculpture incongruously hanging under the Granville Street Bridge, beside Westbank’s Vancouver House. On Wednesday, Nov. 27, hundreds of people gathered to witness the first of daily lowering and raising of the spectacular, rotating piece of art.

City Conversations at SFU On Nov. 21, a group of urban planning enthusiasts and SFU students sat with their lunches to hear about the future of two of Vancouver’s historic amenities, Granville Bridge and Granville Island.

Granville Bridge is in need of significant structural safety work, and though Granville Island may be one of Vancouver’s premier attractions, it is notoriously hard to get to, and hasn’t had any new upgrades in many years. A new governance group has big plans for its revitalization, and the latest lunchtime City 14 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 14, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020

Conversations event at SFU about the future of these Vancouver icons featured David Beers, founding editor of The Tyee; Bethany Dobson, planner for Granville Island; Dale McClanaghan, past chair of the Granville Island Trust and member of the Granville Island Council, and Paul Krueger, Transportation and Public Space Planner, City of Vancouver. They spoke about the plan to place a green walking and cycling path on the bridge, as well as the possibility of an elevator from the bridge down to the island.

DID YOU KNOW?

Last month, home sales were up 1.3 per cent from September and 16 per cent year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted 7,304 units.

This was a fourth straight monthly gain, and a seventh over the past eight months. Momentum since the spring has lifted activity to the highest level since January 2018.

Shift Little Mountain penthouse release

Nightshift Ministries 15th birthday gala A wonderful evening was had for a very good cause at the Nightshift Ministries 15th birthday gala, where more than 200 people from its generous donor community gathered for an amazing evening of inspiration and fundraising on Nov. 22 at the Sky Hangar in Pitt Meadows. There was a live band, incredible nibbles and a spectacular dessert table, as well as a silent auction. Supported by many of the development and

real estate marketing companies in the Fraser Valley, including Infinity Properties, Vesta Properties and Fifth Avenue Marketing, the evening raised $269,000 to continue to reach out to vulnerable people in the valley communities who are struggling with homelessness, poverty, addiction and mental illness. The funds will also contribute to the launch of a new Mobile Outreach Unit in 2020.

UDI Craig Wright luncheon Over 300 people escaped the chilly autumn air into the posh BC Ballroom at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver at lunchtime on Nov. 21 for the latest of the Urban Development Institute’s luncheon series. While enjoying the always delicious Fairmont chicken or fish entrées, RBC Chief Economist and Senior VP, Craig Wright, enlightened the room with his global and national outlook for the upcoming year. Predicting

moderate growth of 1.5-to-two per cent, he touched on a number of risks to our economy such as a potential American recession and global trade wars that may indirectly impact Canada. Using an abundance of facts and graphs, he illustrated his cautious optimism that our economy is sufficiently buoyant to weather any challenges coming our way in the short term.

For more on Wright’s outlook, see story on pg. 30.

Looking up towards Queen Elizabeth Park near Hillcrest Centre, Talk Shop Media and Aragon Development hosted an event releasing the spectacular, two-level penthouse homes at Shift Little Mountain, featuring spacious rooftop decks complete with views and full outdoor kitchens. Guests sipped hot chocolate or coffee and enjoyed warming bites like hot hummous and pita and Middle Eastern shwarma fillings hot out of the oven. The festive holiday décor was completely sustainable and reused and created by influencer and decorator Randa Salloum to showcase how holiday decorating can also be eco-friendly (and edible!). To see these beautiful penthouse homes for yourself, pop into the Shift Little Mountain presentation centre at 103-5089 Quebec St, Vancouver, and ask for a tour. nexthome.ca 15

COVER STORY

Highpointe

Elevated Living

Every once in a while, a community comes along that ticks all the boxes for all the right reasons; stylish architecture, luxury finishings, great floorplans, plus a location that puts you within walking distance to a diverse array of sophisticated amenities.

Introducing Highpointe, a collection of 153 apartment residences that brings a whole new level of sophisticated, urban living to scenic Maple Ridge.

Highpointe is ideally located on a sloped property adjacent to a seven-acre park in a quiet, well-established residential neighbourhood boasting tree-lined streets and panoramic views of Mount Baker and the Fraser River. From here, it’s an easy walk to downtown Maple Ridge, the West Coast Express, and a new B-Line to the Evergreen Line — meaning you’re connected to all the things that make life easy.

Plus, the myriad of adventures and experiences that make Maple Ridge so popular with outdoor adventurers of all ages are right at your doorstep — miles of hiking and equestrian trails, streams and rivers to fish or raft down, as well as numerous lakes and, or course, the muchloved Golden Ears Park.

LOCATION Maple Ridge BUILDER Concordia Properties HOME TYPE Lowrise SALES CENTRE 11641 – 227th Street CONTACT highpointeliving.ca

YOUR PERFECT LIFESTYLE

Offering an astonishing 39 floorplans, your toughest decision may well be which one most perfectly fits your unique lifestyle.

Here’s just a hint of what you’ll discover at Highpointe: Two-storey city homes at ground level, sky loft penthouses with soaring 19-ft. ceiling and a mezzanine overlooking the living-room, open-concept studios, and family-friendly plans, with one-bedrooms starting in the low $300’s.

SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION

“Highpointe’s most significant differentiator is its 100 per cent steel and concrete construction,” says Wayne Lyle, sales and marketing director. “It’s simply a better, more energy-efficient and safer construction than wood frame. It’s non-combustible, there’s no shrinkage or warping, and both insulation and soundproofing values are superior.”

He adds that he’s talked to many parents who are helping their children get into the housing market, and it’s this extra peace-of-mind that’s often the deciding factor in where they purchase. “And with Highpointe’s energy conservation features and climate controlled interiors, you know you’re making a solid investment for years to come.”

THOUGHTFUL STYLE

Inside, Highpointe homes define thoughtfully appointed elegance: Nine-ft. ceilings, oversized windows, stylish Napoleon fireplaces, and elegant bathrooms with Kohler fixtures. Kitchens are designed to kick your culinary aspirations into high gear: Generous counter space, built-in appliances including a wall oven and microwave, and a five-burner gas cooktop. Clearly you’re ready for five-star entertaining, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or the entire family for a celebratory, sit-down dinner.

And here’s an innovation you simply won’t find elsewhere; sundecks feature a combination of glass railings on the lower half and retractable Lumon windows on the upper.

“In winter, you have a fully enclosed solarium where you can still enjoy the feeling of being outside while expanding your inside living space,” Wayne explains.

“Then, in summer, just retract the glass and you’ve got an open, breezy balcony.” Brilliant.

Highpointe’s presentation centre and display suite are now previewing at 11641 – 227th Street. Grand opening anticipated for January 2020. For more information and to register for updates as they’re released, visit highpointeliving.ca or call 604.362.3730. nexthome.ca 19

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

silveR valley MAPLE RiDGE

by MiCHELLE HoPKins

Mother Nature certainly blessed Silver Valley. This Maple Ridge neighbourhood is tucked into the Golden Ears Park and located on the north side of the Alouette River. It is at the gateway to some of Greater Vancouver’s hottest recreation areas for residents and visitors alike.

LIFEstyLE

Boasting stunning views, fantastic trail networks, creeks and rivers, and its jewel, Golden Ears Park, this is a haven for equestrians and outdoor enthusiasts.

It is safe to say it’s a healthy, outdoorsy lifestyle that attracts people to this enclave.

VIBE

With lots of young families living here, the vibe possesses an alluring fusion of city/country.

it was home to 11,000 residents and the number is increasing rapidly. Approximately 75 per cent of Silver Valley residents are professionals earning $80,000plus (2011 census).

This area is also very popular with equestrians, so it is very common to see people riding horses along the trails. This is mostly a young professional family demographic, with children under the age of 12, with the bulk of the population in the 35 to 54 age range.

IN tHE AREA

Silver Valley is all about nature; there is no retail to be found here. However, the neighbourhood is a mere nine minutes by car to the Haney Place Mall, where the trendiest retailers for clothing and apparel, home décor and appliances, health and beauty items and more can be found. In addition, it isn’t far to the city centre, where you can find everything you need.

MEEt tHE NEIGHBOURs

Originally, this was a rural residential and large-lot suburban hamlet of about 600 residents. By 2016, 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 14, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020

Golden eaRs paRK As one of the largest parks in the province, Golden Ears Park is prized for its plethora of recreational activities!

Designed with both daytrippers and campers in mind, it offers swimming, windsurfing, waterskiing, canoeing, boating, fishing and features three large campgrounds.

however, in 2017, TransLink launched two new bus lines to the northern suburb of Silver Valley.

REAL EstAtE (NEw BUILDs)

Real estate in Silver Valley consists of townhomes and single-family homes. You won’t find condos here. The average price for townhomes is in the $500,000 range, while homes range

between $799,000 upwards of $1.3 million.

The up-and-coming Sagebrook, in the heart of Silver Valley, features 40 executivestyle homes ranging from the mid-900’s to approximately $1.3 million. Homes will range from 3,000 to 4,000-sq. ft. lots, offering six bedrooms, and some with legal suites.

using innovative technology

to build houses by stephanie MacDonalD

Eric Andreasen, VP of Marketing and Sales at Adera Development, is an expert on building sustainable and superior quality wood homes. We spoke with him about why wood is a good option for comfortable living and a healthier environment.

New Home + Condo Guide: Adera is celebrating 50 years this year. What do you think are some of Adera’s defining buildings and lasting legacies?

Eric Andreasen: The two buildings that really stand out to me recently that define Adera’s quality and style, are Sail, up at UBC, and the Shore in North Vancouver. Sail won a Georgie Award for best residential community and was the first six-storey wood frame development at UBC, built to REAP Platinum standards with sustainable eco-friendly green technology. Sail’s mechanical system uses an innovative wastewater heat-recovery system that can recapture 75 per cent to 90 per cent of the building’s wastewater energy and reuse it to provide heat to the hydronic systems in the buildings, thus significantly reducing its environmental footprint.

The Shore is an incredible project built on the former North Vancouver public works yard. There are four West Coast modern-design buildings built around a magnificent, peaceful courtyard, with a fountain and public art. The homes all have large balconies, lanais or rooftop decks where residents can appreciate the beauty of the North Van surroundings.

NHCG: What exactly is SmartWood™, and why did Adera decide to start using this technology for housing in B.C.?

E.A.: Adera had been perfecting the highestquality wood buildings since we started, and on the eve of the 50th year, we decided to take this technology to the next level, so we patented the name SmartWood™ for our cross-laminated timber products. This product is from sustainably managed forests, it is actually safer in terms of fire safety and seismic activity, and because it is lighter, it requires far less steel and concrete in the foundation. It has been 22 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 14, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020

proven to be just as strong as concrete and steel, with a much smaller footprint to use in a building, as the panels are manufactured in a controlled facility and then trucked to the site, in many fewer truckloads than a concrete building would require. It provides just as quiet a home as a concrete building, through our added QuietHome™ technology.

NHCG: What are some of your upcoming projects that you are the most excited about?

E.A.: Crest is our most recent mass timber building

on the North Shore. It’s in an amazing location, the engineering is unparalleled, and it’s really the kind of landmark building that can be enjoyed by residents as well as adding to the community as a whole. The views have been maximized, and the modern architecture is really distinctive, including a stunning sail out of one side of the building that gives a dramatic line that echoes the mountain and ocean location. The building is already over 90 per cent sold out at this point, so I guess buyers are as enthusiastic about it as we are at Adera.

ADVICE | HAVAN REPORT

BUILT BETTER

BY DESIGN RON RAPP

Have you ever walked into a home and suddenly found yourself in a space that just felt right? That unexplainable feeling one gets walking into a wellbuilt home has a lot to do with good design and construction.

Crest, an Ovation Awardwinning 179-unit, six-storey midrise that includes 18 two-

level concrete townhomes is an excellent example of building design on the cutting edge.

Built by Adera Development Corporation, in partnership with Integra Architecture and Portico Design Group, the complex is designed to reflect the birthplace of West Coast Modern style, infusing architecture that honours the surrounding forests and mountains on the North Shore.

Each home reflects the west coast using natural materials balanced with contemporary design aesthetics, creating living

26 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 14, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020

spaces that are elegant, practical and invite the outdoors in, creating a sense of balance and harmony.

But it goes deeper than just surface materials.

Setting a new industry standard for wood construction, Crest is built using Cross Laminated Mass Timber (CLT), a multi-layer mass timber product that matches the strength and durability of concrete and steel at a fraction of the weight. In addition, CLT is carbon negative and uses wood exclusively from sustainably managed forests. CLT opens the

Crest by Adera

door to a new, ecological way to construct mass timber buildings of the 21st century. Less foundation required means an overall reduction in concrete and rebar use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions that act as a carbon sequestering material. The use of CLT itself requires reduced labour forces, meaning small crews can install large areas quickly and quietly.

The construction material isn’t the only element that pushes industry standards. Adera’s signature Quiet Home technology is an innovative construction floor-and-wall-assembly system that significantly reduces sound transmission between homes, while also reducing heat loss, odour emissions and increased fire rating.

These building and design innovations might not be something you think of or see every day,

Economic outlook With craig Wright

by SuSan M Boyce

Next year will feel much like last year on the housing front according to Craig Wright, chief economist with Royal Bank, at a recent address to the Urban Development Institute in Vancouver.

Growth will moderate, although he predicts B.C. will be topof-the-pack for 2020 capital investment intentions, with a projected 12.9 per cent increase from 2018. The next closest province, Quebec, is projected to show a 5.7 per cent increase.

The quesTion of supply

Not surprisingly, the issue of affordability was up-front-andcentre for a large part of Wright’s stats-filled presentation. “This is not a demand issue, it’s a supply issue: We don’t build enough new homes or offer enough alternatives like purpose-built rentals,” he emphasized. It’s a familiar refrain, but one he noted politicians still seem to prefer to ignore.

He cited a recent meeting between 18 developers, two economists, and “several” local politicians. When city officials posed the question, “How to fix the affordability problem?” the developers were unanimous: Increase supply. To which the politicians replied, “Well, of course you’d say increase supply — you’re builders.” When both economists immediately gave the same answer, however, it caused city officials some consternation — although whether they will take

Craig Wright and UDI’s Anne McMullen discuss the economic outlook for 2020.

the recommendation to heart remains unknown at this point.

Although bureaucratic red tape, especially at the municipal level, continues to create delays bringing the needed new product to market, it’s the shortage of skilled trades people that’s of even greater concern to many developers and builders. “It’s difficult to attract top people in this kind of market,” said Wright.

Brace for a recession

“We’re also hearing the recession word creeping into conversations,” Wright noted. Brexit plus the escalating U.S. and China trade wars are at least partially to blame. He anticipates Canada will experience its 11th recession since 1930 sometime in the next seven to 48 months.

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 14, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020

Nor can Canadians look forward to a balanced federal budget any time soon. With a projected $115-billion deficit, the country can expect to remain in the red for a long time.

On a more positive note, Wright acknowledged that the housing market recovered more quickly than he expected from the financial impact of the infamous stress test. “In combination with a number of other initiatives, we actually achieved a soft landing. We do need to revisit it, but it’s too soon right now. Let’s watch and observe a bit longer to see if low interest rates continue.”

movie settings that Bring You

Home for the Holidays by aManDa Pereira

The holidays – a time of

overindulgence and leisure.

Around this time of year, many people find themselves sprawled out on the couch by a roaring fire toting an oversized bowl of popcorn while watching one of the season’s holiday classic films. These movie storylines are usually as memorable as their characters, but have you ever bothered to consider the setting of those films? As a kid I didn’t, but as an adult and Millennial first-time homeowner who is juggling mortgage payments, chores and all the other bits that come with homeownership, I can’t help but wonder: Just how did these people afford those homes?

1. Home Alone

“This is my house; I have to defend it.”

The 671 Lincoln Ave. address has become an iconic landmark in Chicago thanks to the 1990’s film Home Alone, starring Macauley Culkin. By Toronto and Vancouver pricing standards, this infamous red brick Winnetka, Illinois-based two-storey Georgian home almost seems attainable if you have a little over $1.585 million (as of 2015) burning a hole in your pocket. At six bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and 4,234-sq. ft., this home has retained its original floorplan, but has received a much-needed facelift to fit modern standards. (Goodbye green tiled kitchen counters and red floor runners.) Reality aside,

32 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 14, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020

what exactly did the McCallisters do for a living that would allow them to be globetrotters and own a then-$874,000 home (based on 1990s prices)? Todd Strasser’s novelization of the film depicted Peter McCallister as a prominent businessmen (vague), and Kate McCallister as a fashion designer (which would explain the sharp 90’s fashion sense.)

2. A CHristmAs story

“Fra-GEE-leh… it must be Italian!”

The address at 3159 W 11th St. in Cleveland, Ohio is home to an incredible 19th century Victorian house that was the setting of the 1983 film A Christmas Story, which takes place in the early 1940’s.

The home was bought in 2004 on

© 20th Century Fox

neWBie notes

© (C) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

eBay by a fan for a paltry $150,000.

The house, which had previously been reconfigured to incorporate modern windows and wood siding to cover the original vinyl, was returned to its near-replica film glory. In addition, the home across the street was purchased and converted into a museum that features many notable props from the film. While it’s never been entirely clear what the Old Man did for a living outside of fight with the coal furnace, the median yearly salary for men in the 1940’s was $956 as per the census – imagine buying a home on that? (What mortgage stress-test?)

2

“I need to get out of town.

You know, I think I need some peace and quiet…or whatever it is that people go away for.”

The premise of this 2006 rom-com movie is based on a concept that Airbnb has come to dominate since its inception in 2008. House swappers, Iris and Amanda, exchange homes during the holiday season in pursuit of R&R and soul searching.

Whether you prefer a whimsical English cottage, or an opulent, practically palatial L.A. villa – the settings of this film fulfilled the best of both worlds.

Here’s a fun fact, though: only one of these properties existed.

The other was entirely constructed for the purpose of the film. In two weeks’ time, the Rosehill Cottage based in Surrey, England was erected and ready for exterior shooting. The interiors for the cottage were created entirely on a soundstage in Culver City, California. Its fictional inhabitant, a society columnist editor for the Daily Telegraph, is portrayed

by Kate Winslet. A comparable cottage of the same price in Surrey today goes north of £600,000 (about £422,000 in 2006) – next to a one-bedroom London flat at £350,000 (£246,000 in 2006.)

Based off similar salaries available on Glassdoor U.K., one can wager Winslet’s character earned approximately £40,000 per annum.

Across the pond is Amanda, portrayed by Cameron Diaz, an affluent and newly single owner of a thriving production company that specializes in movie trailer creation. She resides in a Mediterranean-style mansion that is not only very real, but sold for an estimated $9.5 million in 2019 (approximately $7.4 million in 2006.) Located at 1883 Orlando Rd., much of the interior of Amanda’s home was constructed on a separate soundstage to the very inexpensive tune of a $1

million – and that’s without any utilities or exterior walls.

While it’s entirely plausible that Amanda could have afforded to rent a more luxurious home in the English countryside, the film’s house-swap premise has less to do with exerting one’s affluence, and more to do with what the experience of adopting something new provides its leading ladies with: an opportunity to get away from their problems for a bit, and find a new lease on life along the way.

Whether you aspire to own a red-bricked two-storey Georgian mansion, a nearly 100-year-old Victorian house, a cottage in the English countryside, or an extravagant L.A. villa – these homes and their inhabitants all have one theme in common: they all evoke the spirit and warmth of the holiday season. nexthome.ca 33

ADVICE | CONDO SENSE

What do strata fEEs

mEan for you?

Cameron mCneill

Moving from a single-family or rental home into your newly purchased condo or townhome could be your first introduction to strata fees. Naturally, you may question any monthly fee that’s made in addition to your mortgage payments. But this one comes with huge benefits – just like owning a home.

WHAT IS A STRATA FEE?

The strata fee is comprised of two separate funds – an Operating Fund and a Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF). These are mandatory for all strata corporations in British Columbia. The Operating Fund covers everyday expenses, such as building insurance, property management fees, landscaping, garbage collection, upkeep of common property and amenities, cleaning, and ordinary repairs. The CRF takes care of more infrequent expenses, or those occurring less than once a year, including upgrades to the lobby or amenities and a new roof or elevator.

Understandably, more luxurious developments, with amenities like pools, hot tubs, and a 24-hour concierge, will typically ask for higher strata fees.

HOW IS THE STRATA FEE CALCULATED?

The amount of your strata fee is based on the size of your

home – the more sq. ft. you own, the higher your fee. In a new development or presale, the operating budget and strata fee schedule are determined by a property management company hired by the developer. Once the total expenses are estimated, they are divided by the unit entitlement of each strata lot to arrive at individual fees.

After a Strata Council is formed, these expenses and resulting fees can be re-examined, and then approved by a majority vote at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The strata corporation must inform owners of new strata fees within two weeks of the budget passing.

HOW DO STRATA FEES BENEFIT THE HOMEOWNER?

Strata fees remove responsibilities from the homeowner. Gone are the days of shovelling driveways, raking leaves, and clearing your own gutters. You don’t need to worry about the maintenance that goes hand-in-hand with single-

family homes. You’ll experience peace of mind knowing there’s a fund to keep the home you’re proud of in good repair.

Depending on the development, these monthly fees can provide you with a resort-like lifestyle. Fitness centres, catering kitchens, co-work spaces, rooftop terraces, theatres, and more become part of daily life.

These shared amenities also create community – which is priceless.

When you’re purchasing a new home, speak with your realtor or a sales team to understand what your monthly strata fees may be.

colour 2020 trends

Benjamin Moore chose “First Light” as its colour of the year.

Designer Andrea Colman gives us a sneak peek into the hottest hues for the new year.

As the year winds down, all eyes are looking ahead to the hottest trends of the upcoming year and beyond. As always, colour will lead the design inspiration for 2020. Large paint brands have already started releasing their 2020 palettes – which will help dictate what we see on the runways, in the showrooms and interiors the world over.

Have you ever wondered what inspires these thoughtful colour trends? The “colour of the year” is usually chosen to represent

an emotional connection to the world around us. Here are some strong 2020 themes, and the hues that reflect them.

You already know that the Earth has been top-of-mind politically, socially and equally prevalent in the world of art and design. Recent environmental concerns, as well as eco-friendly innovations coming on the scene, are inspiring a movement toward nature, in terms of the hottest colour choices. The growing popularity of the green and blue colour family, which as a

designer I love working with, will continue to evolve. Companies like Behr (behr.ca) have announced its 2020 colour of the year, literally called “Back To Nature”– a gentle, warm moss green.

Heritage and tradition will be a top 2020 trend and is already being echoed in Pantone’s (pantone.com) highly anticipated colour forecast for the coming year. You can expect to see a palette inspired by the familiar and the relatable, featuring historical classics such as burning bright red, navy blue, saffron yellow and orange peel. Our familiarity with these colours brings stability to our homes and lives. …cont’d on pg. 46

…Colour trends cont’d from pg. 44

Third on the list of trending topics, but arguably number-one in importance, is the theme of serenity.

You may connect with this theme from your own day-to-day life; the world seeks balance from the stresses that are so common with modern-day living.

The new year marks the start of a new decade and reinforces the need to strike a balance between home and work. Dulux (dulux.ca) has heard our cries for calmness, it seems, with its release of the 2020 colour of the year, “Chinese Porcelain.” This rich, traditional hue emits a feeling of calm, restfulness and hope – precisely what most of us need when we come home at the end of a long day.

Benjamin Moore (benjaminmoore.ca) chose “First Light” as its Colour of the Year. A soft, rosy hue which represents a new dawn of idealism, design and living.

With a new decade on the horizon, the industry leader took a fresh approach to mark this milestone.

It’s certainly interesting to think about why specific trends are hot, while others are not. Consider the places, people and events that have inspired them, and let that, in turn, inspire you to create something beautiful, whether it’s a wardrobe, a piece of art or an interior.

year in review a look back at 2019 by susan m boyce

It’s been “an interesting year” according to many Metro Vancouver real estate insiders and developers.

No secret among buyers and sellers alike, prices across all housing types experienced a muchneeded correction in 2019. The most recent report from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) indicates the average price of a home in October was $992,900, down 6.4 per cent from October 2018. Single-family detached homes showed the steepest drop, falling 7.5 per cent to $1.4 million, while townhouses and condos both declined just under six per cent to $771,600 and $652,500, respectively.

However, REBGV numbers also indicate sales across the region were up 45 per

cent from last October and 10 per cent above the 10-year sales average.

Tracie McTavish, executive director at rennie, says this escalating sales environment was something he predicted last spring based on information sourced by the company’s in-house research and statistics arm, rennie intel.

“We have 22 active sales centres, and over the last four months, we’ve seen a 50 per cent increase in both the number of visitors and the number of sales,” McTavish notes. “Our resale team is reporting they have almost no inventory available, and when they do, they’re more and more seeing correctly priced product go into multiple offers.” …cont’d on pg. 52

“

Vancouver consistently ranked among the top three places to live anywhere in the world…

”

…Year in review cont’d from pg. 49

geographic reversal

The Fraser Valley south of the river appears to have become the star of the current market. “In 2009, downtown Vancouver came back first after the economic downturn,” says Scott Brown, president and CEO of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing. “But in 2019, the suburbs were definitely more buoyant.”

Brown attributes this shift to lower prices plus the increasing urbanization and amenitization of places like Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford. “These used to be bedroom communities where you had to go somewhere else, probably downtown Vancouver, to get urban amenities. Now, even though Vancouver will likely always be viewed as ‘downtown,’ it’s not necessarily a place people aspire to live. Rather, they

might only use those Vancouver amenities once or twice a month, because they have so much available where they live and at a much lower price point.” leT’s geT real abouT pricing

Frustration regarding government charges continued through 2019, with little optimism for a change in the foreseeable future. “In Vancouver, fees and taxes now account for 26 per cent of the cost of a new home,” notes Michael Ferreira, managing principal of Urban Analytics.

How’s this for a sobering taste of reality: The price of a snazzy new condo listed for $1.02 million includes a whopping $267,454 in taxes. “Why is this message not out there — especially when so

Liberty by Platinum Group addresses the desire for singlefamily space and features in a lock’n’go, strata environment.

Venue by Tien Sher is part of the new evolution of Surrey Central City.

many people get up in arms about the price of gas? Perhaps we should advertise the price without the tax,” Ferreira said at a recent presentation to the Urban Development Institute (UDI). “Here’s a condo that costs $750,000. But, oh wait, there’s tax on top of that.”

We’re sTill World class

Despite the challenges, though, industry people and consumers agree: Metro Vancouver will always be a place people want to live, work, and play.

“Vancouver consistently ranked among the top-three places to live anywhere in the world,” McTavish says. “You don’t wake up one morning and discover it isn’t a fantastic, beautiful city.”

It’s a sentiment Ferreira shares.

“Always remember where we live… because it’s pretty awesome.”
