CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN A

STRANGE TIME

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

After an uncertain couple of months, British Columbia, under the steady, pragmatic and scientific leadership of disease expert Dr. Bonnie Henry, is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Our dedication to social distancing, staying at home and washing our hands means that we can now venture back out into the world, and though it is a changed one, our home province remains a beautiful, highly desirable place to live.

When living with uncertainty, it can feel like the ultimate comfort to own your own piece of this wonderful place, and that is why, after a couple of months of hiatus, the New Home + Condo Guide is back to help you find the perfect sanctuary to call home. In this, and the the next few issues, we’ll be talking with people who bought new homes during the lockdown, explaining new ways of visiting presentation centres in person and virtually, and looking at some of the buying opportunities and incentives bringing people into the market.

Homebuilding practices change over time, and this major challenge to our society will surely be a catalyst for evolving home design. Opportunities to work more from home mean that a commute is often not necessary most days of the week. This means people can live farther from the city and get more house for their money. Families living in a condo may value versatile spaces that can be used for offices, playrooms, guestrooms, depending on the situation, as well as amenity spaces geared toward those working or running businesses from home.

We are so glad to be back, and we look forward to being your guide as you begin this exciting journey toward your next home.

CLAYTON STREET GRAND OPENING

CLAYTON STREET GRAND OPENING In the good-old “before times”, on March 7th, over 65 people attended the Grand Opening of Clayton Street townhomes in the popular Clayton Heights neighbourhood in Surrey. The majority of visitors were families who took their time visiting and enjoying the snacks from the Melt Town Grilled Cheese and Poutine food truck.

Jericho Lands Community Engagement Results The first phase of the Jericho Lands project’s community engagement report has been issued showing strong support for creating a neighbourhood with a mix of residential, commercial, and job spaces. Other notable conclusions reached by this early planning process are:

The provision of smallscale, locally-serving, retail and services, as well as communal spaces accessible via walking and cycling is desired by a majority of respondents.

There is also a desire for new commercial development to complement existing local businesses in Point Grey Village and other local commercial areas.

There is strong support for retention of some of the greenspaces, mature trees, and open spaces that currently exist on the site. Interest in exploring opportunities for naturalisation, reintroduction of native plant species, introduction of pollinators, and daylighting of historical streams.

Interest in creating a variety of parks and public spaces that accommodate rest and reflection, public gathering, and that are child and dog friendly.

DID YOU KNOW?

Although COVID-19 has had a huge impact on sales volumes, it has not (yet) had a significant impact on home prices. The composite residential properties benchmark price in May was $1.028 million — almost unchanged from April 2020.

Elston Opens in Surrey Elston’s Official Grand Opening took place on Saturday May 30th in Surrey. The sales team welcomed over 60 visitors to the sales centre, who were treated to a complimentary gourmet coffee bar service while they waited for their turn to tour the show home, due to Covid Social Distancing practices being in place. ELSTON is an exciting

new collection of spacious family townhomes featuring four bedrooms with up to 1,880 square feet, double side-by-side garage in every home, well-appointed designer finishes all set amongst landscaped gardens. Homes are available from $639,900. The Elston Presentation Centre and Showhomes are located at 7127 193A Street, Surrey.

Highpointe breaks ground two months ahead of schedule

Kids and treats at Skagen’s Grand Opening

Also pre-covid-19, Adorable babies in strollers and toddlers leading their parents were in abundance at the Skagen Grand Opening on Saturday, March 14th. Overlooking the scenic Fraser River in the West Coquitlam neighbourhood known as Austin Heights, this new development is a collection of large, Scandinavian-inspired townhomes, built to Passive House standards, perfect for ecoconscious young families, as well

as downsizers who appreciate a nice view and a connected location. Delicious nibbles were on hand in the elegant show kitchen, including cupcakes and lemonade for the youngsters and pastries and gourmet coffee for the adults. Potential homeowners browsed the spacious floorplans and many commented on the thoughtfully designed public spaces, designed to encourage a community atmosphere and connect neighbours.

Going back in time again, to a sunny Saturday, March 14th, Highpointe in Maple Ridge broke ground two months earlier than expected, due to the presale of over 65 homes in the previous two months. On hand for the ceremony was Mayor Mike Morden, as well as Carl Davis and Ron Davis from Concordia Properties, and councillors Kiersten Duncan, Gordy Robson, and Judy Dueck. While enjoying tastings from Golden Ears Cheesecrafters and Foamers Folly craft brewery, visitors could enter one or more of the Maple Ridge living-inspired prize draws, including a guided kayak trip for two on nearby Pitt Lake, local Fly-fishing lessons for two, two golf green fee passes at Meadow Gardens, Highpointe local merchant gift baskets, or concert tickets for two from the Act Centre for the arts. nexthome.ca 13

COVER STORY

ERA Maple Ridge A Community Evolution

The times they are a-changin’ in Maple Ridge. There’s a new energy, an urban vibe that’s as dynamic and unique as the people who call this city home.

And leading this evolution is a seven-acre master-planned community that’s coming to the heart of the downtown core.

Say hello to ERA Maple Ridge.

When complete, ERA will be home to some 2,500 residents plus a diverse array of retail shops, eateries, and services. “This is going to become the new centre of the city,” says Jeremy Towning, vice president of SwissReal Group. “It’s been seven years in the planning, so it’s exciting to 16 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

finally be breaking ground on the first phase.”

DAZZLING AMENITIES

Ready to talk amenities? Well get set to be wowed big time. “ERA is going to be the most amenity-rich community in the area… period,” Jeremy says with a contagious enthusiasm. Full details, he adds, are still a closely guarded secret, but he’s delighted to share a few hints.

Naturally, ERA’s freestanding clubhouse will include a stateof-the-art performance center for fitness plus a dedicated yoga space. Residents will also have use of an entertainment kitchen, lounge area, and party room.

Now, let your imagination take flight. How about a podcasting sound studio where you can download your latest artistic endeavour direct to YouTube? Check. Or a lavish pet spa including a doggie treadmill? Check.

“We know more and more people are working from home, and that trend will continue to grow,” Jeremy says. “But sometimes you just want to get out of the house and be with other solopreneurs, so we’re creating a series of co-working stations and boardrooms — great for making a strong impression when you need to schedule a business meeting.”

LOCATION Maple Ridge DEVELOPER SwissReal Group, Johnston Meier Insurance HOME TYPE Master planned community SALES CENTRE 22351 Dewdney Trunk Rd CONTACT neweramapleridge.com or 604.239.1898

All this plus a new park, walking trails, and plenty of comfy outdoor seating for when you want to gather with friends or simply indulge in a morning lattĂŠ and the latest blockbuster novel. At ERA life is good.

The ERA presentation centre and display home are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 22351 Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge. Prices in the first release of mid-rise condominium homes start in the mid $300,000s. A limited number of city homes clustered between the two buildings are also available, so be sure to ask when you visit.

VancouVer housing market: a cautious, wait and see approach

by Marlene eisner The coronavirus may have changed the way we live, for now, but it hasn’t changed where or how people need to live. And while social distancing has resulted in some very creative – and successful – new ways of conducting business, some at lease on industry insider is suggesting a wait-and-see strategy for some new-home purchasers, especially first-time buyers.

Jackie Quiring, marketing manager at Captus Advertising, a multi-media, multi-service marketing agency servicing many real estate developers in Vancouver says its team has been working from home since mid-March and has adapted well, conducting business over Zoom and telephone calls. Many of its clients have turned to virtual tours of show homes and presentations centres.

Video content creation has also been on the rise, she says, along with increased digital exposure.

However, with the reality that it’s not business as usual for real

Jackie Quiring, Marketing Manager at Captus Advertising 18 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

estate, Quiring says high levels of uncertainty and fear are motivating some buyers to wait on the sidelines before buying a new home.

“Many people have either already lost or are about to lose their jobs, savings and investments, making it difficult for them to secure a mortgage or even consider such a large purchase at this time,” Quiring tells New Home + Condo Guide. “Even though the Bank of Canada interest rates have been cut to stimulate the economy, mortgage rates haven’t necessarily followed. The Canadian economy and global economies have been severely weakened by COVID-19, and this will definitely cause ripples throughout the real estate industry, creating long-lasting consequences. The COVID-19 crisis has also been a catalyst for change and innovation too, which means potentially positive changes to the status quo, and a new way of approaching real estate development and sales in the near future.”

Looking forward, Quiring advises

anyone looking to buy a new home to wait until there is a clearer picture of how the real estate industry will look in the coming months.

“Despite signs of showing strong recovery in early 2020, the real estate market has been shaken by COVID-19, and that could result in prices falling in the next few months. A weakened economy, higher unemployment and unstable financial markets all suggest that homebuyers, especially first-time homebuyers, should exercise extreme caution. If you must buy, make sure you will be able to afford the mortgage payments should anything happen to your health or job. Read up on industry news, stay well informed and learn to research and critically analyze everything before committing to a property.”

Quiring is convinced the real estate industry and the economy will recover.

“It’s just a matter of time,” she says. “When in doubt, wait it out. Be patient with the world as it begins its healing process.

Stay positive and healthy.”

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

RIDGE MEADOWS MAPLE RIDGE

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Ridge Meadows encompasses both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. This neighbourhood focuses on two distinct regions, along 240th street (east Maple Ridge) to Silver Valley and the downtown core between 228th Street and 222nd Street and Dewdney Trunk Rd. and the Haney Bypass.

LIFESTYLE

Ridge Meadows is known for its natural beauty, mild climate and 20 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

high-quality lifestyle. This enclave is particularly great for people who want to live close to an urban area but have access to outdoor recreation close by.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

VIBE

In four words – Mostly young, hip, active.

If you ask those who live here, key themes run through both – green, pedestrian-oriented, unique and vibrant. Perhaps that is why it attracts young families – that and lower housing prices. In fact, it boasts the most affordable

residential real estate in Metro Vancouver and a young fastgrowing population.

IN THE AREA

As a walkable business district in Maple Ridge, downtown has much to discover, like the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre with its newly renovated pool, the 500-

HOT SPOTS

seat Arts Centre showcasing several sought-after shows, unique independent restaurants, four local craft breweries, three pubs and a library. You couldn’t want for more. Meanwhile, not to be outdone, 240th Street is home to great parks, rivers and trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding, the Albion Sports Complex, the ever-popular Planet Ice, and the highlyregarded Meadowridge School, an independent, International Baccalaureate school on an idyllic 27-acre campus.

MEMORIAL PEACE PARK & BANDSTAND

Highpointe

In the heart of downtown, this park is happening! Throughout the year, events include the Jazz and Blues Festival, Bard on the Bandstand, Remembrance Day, Celebrate the Night and the always popular Christmas in the Park and Santa Claus Parade.

Memorial Peace Park is also home to the Haney Farmers’ Market and Movies in the Park.

We could go on and on …

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Maple Ridge as a whole has seen recent major transportation infrastructure improvements.

Whether you hop on transit or take a car, Ridge Meadows is not far from the new Golden Ears, Pitt River and Port Mann bridges and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which have greatly improved access to both Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the USA. The nearest airport, Pitt Meadows Regional Airport, isn’t a long drive from here.

REAL ESTATE: (NEW BUILDS)

In both areas, you’ll find detached homes, townhomes as well as condo buildings. There are quite a few large mixed-use projects coming soon, such as the classically-styled Brickwater at the Village and the masterplanned community of ERA Maple Ridge. With this influx of new residents and businesses the future of these charming communities is very bright.

Brickwater Village Courtyard ACT ARTS CENTRE For those who love arts and culture, the ACT offers great performances, gallery exhibitions, arts programs, and special events. From Celtic Jam nights to Friday Night Dance, comedy nights and life drawing and much more, there is definitely something for every art lover, no matter your genre.

BUYER PROFILE

ROBERT AND TINA

When Robert and Tina first met in Port Moody, two things happened: they fell in love with each other and they fell in love with Port Moody. When the couple decided to take their relationship to the next level, there was no question where they wanted to share a home.

“Some realtor friends suggested we should check out 50 Electronic Avenue,” Robert says. “We immediately saw the quality, but what clinched the deal was the rooftop patio. I can’t wait to get up there and watch the sunsets. I’m going to build some outdoor furniture and install a movie projector on the wall.” He grins. “And Dexter, our mostly poodle with a bit of chihuahua rescue dog, is going to love it too.”

Tina and Robert worked closely with the sales team to choose a suite that would be their dream home.

They signed the presale agreement and made the down payment. It was early March.

Just days later, BC was in Covid-19 lockdown.

“Yes, we were nervous so we backed out,” Robert admits. “But after three weeks we realized 24 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

something: we can weather this. We don’t need to get a mortgage for at least three years. Metro Vancouver will always be a desirable place to live, so we’ll be okay.”

They called the presentation centre and kept their fingers crossed — was the suite still available?

“Yes, absolutely.” Even on the phone, there was no question the sales manager had a twinkle of delight in her eyes. “We’ve been saving it for you.”

Today, as the construction gets underway, Robert says it’s cool being able to watch their building as it goes up. And since he and Tina are currently renting a condominium just down the road, it’s something they do almost every day. “We often walk in Rocky Point Park which is right across the street from 50 Electronic Avenue,” he says, adding the proximity to this popular outdoor destination was another reason they’re “super stoked” about their purchase.

VANCOUVER’S HOMEBUILDERS STEP UP TO

PANDEMIC CHALLENGE

by MARLENE EISNER

The coronavirus may have changed the way we live, for now, but it hasn’t changed the desire to own a home. Social distancing has resulted in industry professionals coming up with some very creative – and successful – new ways of conducting business, including the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN), a professional organization with more than 1,100 members that include builders, developers, renovators, designers, suppliers, sub-trades and leading professionals who build 65 per cent of the homes in Metro Vancouver.

HAVAN has created a COVID-19 resource page on its website with real time information on stimulus and the numerous support programs being advanced by government. The organization’s offices were already using RingCentral, a VoIP system, including phone, chat rooms, and video conferencing, so the tech transition was relatively easy.

26 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

“We are finding our members are also adapting quickly, using these online tools for ‘face-toface’ meetings,” says Rapp. “Many of our members’ sales offices are closed, however, they are still open on an appointmentonly basis, with the appropriate limiting distances, and or information, collateral materials, specs, and virtual 3-D tours, and even sales agreements being transferred directly to client’s devices. The majority of our builder and renovator members continue to work, following the safety protocols outlined by the government.”

With so many employees now successfully working from home, Rapp wonders if this ‘home-office’ culture will continue and become more the norm, and how it will affect new-home design.

“The need for expensive office and workspace, with the attendant overheads, will start to be rethought, and the positive affects of reduced commuting volumes on greenhouse gases and climate are very significant,” he says. “I expect that homes will start to introduce dedicated workspace and enhanced electronic infrastructure and capacities to accommodate effective and efficient work from home opportunities.”

Other positives he sees coming out of this difficult time include a good opportunity for homebuyers.

“Buyers at this time, as restrictions begin to be relaxed, have a perfect storm of opportunity to enter or continue

Ron Rapp, CEO of HAVAN

to move along the housing continuum. Interest rates are at historic lows, federal and or provincial incentives are still in place, prices have eased to some extent, and vendors are more motivated. Care should be undertaken to ensure that permits, approvals, and construction financing are secured, and that disclosure documents are up to date and accurate particularly regarding projected strata fees.”

Because the construction sector in B.C. has continued to operate, it has been able to contribute to the local economy and “help to increase the pace of recovery as other sectors are permitted to reactivate. I expect that once the province ’reboots’ and gradually allows all sectors to re-engage, there will be some significant pent-up demand that will come to bear, and in conjunction with low interest rates and eroded prices, the outlook for the real estate sector could be quite bright. “

VANCOUVER HOUSING MARKET ADAPTS WELL TO PANDEMIC

by MARLENE EISNER

The coronavirus may have changed the way we live, for now, but it hasn’t changed where or how people need to live. In fact, social distancing has resulted in some very creative – and successful – new ways of conducting business, according to Scott Brown, the president and CEO of Fifth Avenue Marketing, a company that specializes in the marketing and sales of new residential communities for developers throughout B.C. For Brown, while it’s not business as usual, adapting to the circumstances has meant positive changes for his team.

“We have had to be more adaptable than ever before and it has strangely energized our 28 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

Scott Brown, President and CEO of Fifth Avenue Marketing

team,” Brown tells New Home + Condo Guide. “I am grateful for our staff response and proud of them. Necessity is truly the mother of invention and we have adopted new and enhanced uses of technology quickly. I truly believe that when this passes,

many of these approaches will continue on and be part of the new and next normal.”

Some of the technology being incorporated in its daily exchanges with clients include everything from Zoom to future tour, online contract presentation and fulfillment internet-based services. While this style of doing business is meant for the current situation, Brown says when things open up, new-home buyers and investors will want to keep some of the new practices.

“I think consumers will still want to visit sites in person, but I think they are going to expect more online tools and guided technology-based human

interaction prior to agreeing to visit,” he explains. “We could see more online traffic and less actual site visits. I also think the expectations of human interactions will grow. To offset the high-tech experience, consumers will want to ensure the utmost professionalism and service or more positive ‘high touch’ in-person experiences.

Finally, I do expect consumers to prefer one-to-one interaction and will shy away from crowds and large events through 2020.”

For anyone wanting to get into the new-home market, Brown offers up these tips on how to go about it, and what to be mindful of.

“Buyers should start by clarifying their purchase and/or investment

goals and objectives and needs for the next one to five years,” he says. “Then get the best mortgage / financing advice you can. With low interest rates, consumers may have considerably more buying power now than they realize or actually did have last year. If they think prices are going to increase at some point, which they certainly tend to, consider buyer more home now than you might have previously considered. Lastly, I do suggest having a contingency plan financially in case something like this was to occur in the future.”

Looking forward, Brown says the good thing is that B.C. and Metro Vancouver have been proactive in its response to COVID – 19.

“We have frankly been fortunate.

I expect the largest market area (and the majority of market areas it is comprised of) in the province to recover quickly relative to other cities and areas like in 2008, but the high-end or luxury market will recover less quickly than the market for relatively more affordable product in growing typically more development friendly suburban markets.

Good news and a ray of hope on the home-buying horizon.

PROPERTY PROFILE

EASTRIDGE AT PANORAMA EXQUISITE IN EVERY DETAIL It’s fresh and inviting: stylish, distinctive homes located in the popular East Panorama neighbourhood.

Introducing Eastridge Panorama, a collection of 36 rancher-style townhomes inspired by the charm of modern farmhouse style and built by a developer with deep roots in the community.

“These homes are a unique offering in this area,” says Deanne Millington, marketing manager with award-winning Infinity 38 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

Properties. “By design, Eastridge Panorama feels like single-family living — open-concept floor plans, large windows, plus the convenience of a master-onthe-main living which is wowing active downsizers and growing families alike.”

THE STYLE YOU CRAVE

Inside and out, Eastridge Panorama has a comfortable familiarity that’s blended with an exciting modern edge.

Board-and-batten exteriors with

mullioned windows pay homage to Surrey’s long history as a hub of farming and agriculture while creating a sophisticated, eyecatching curb appeal.

Inside, buyers have plenty of opportunities to personalize their new home. One feature you simply don’t see in the average townhome is the ability to add shiplap ceiling details to compliment the shiplap feature walls that come standard. It’s just one of the ways Infinity Properties goes above and beyond to create homes with a unique personality.

Kitchens, always the heart of a home, include state-ofthe-art appliances including a gas range, quartz countertops, display shelving, and marbleinspired subway tile backsplash.

It’s a space designed with cooking and entertaining in mind — although you’ll likely find yourself

lingering at the over-sized island frequently, savoring morning coffee or a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc after work.

You can bring your imagination to the lower level, because with nine-foot ceilings, there’s lots of space for the things that matter in your life. How about a rec room with pool table? Perhaps a media room plus personal workout space with yoga room are more your style. And there’s always the optional wet bar so you know drinks and snacks are always within easy reach. Whatever you choose, with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom on this level, you can rest assured your guests will have the luxury of space and privacy.

Double, side-by-side garages are each equipped with a dedicated circuit ready to accommodate a Level 2 electric

car charger — another forwardlooking bonus that’s good for you and the environment too.

A NEIGHBOURHOOD TO SAVOUR

Life is never dull when you live at Eastridge. Morgan Creek Golf Course is just around the corner, and Crescent Beach is a quick 10-minute drive. You can walk to the shops at Panorama Village just across the way, and be sure to check out Big Ridge Brewing when you feel like raising a pint with friends.

The Presentation Centre at Eastridge Panorama is now open from 12-5PM daily (except Fridays) at 5528 148th Street in Surrey. Come see for yourself why these homes are selling fast. For more information, visit eastridgepanorama.ca.

ADVICE | LEGALLY SPEAKING

COVID-19 WHAT AGENTS, BUYERS AND SELLERS NEED TO KNOW

JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

42 New Home + Condo Guide | June 13–27, 2020

The current crisis is affecting everyone and changing the way homes are bought and sold.

We are experiencing delays that were unexpected. We are seeing financing delayed, lawyers away, clerks away and clients in isolation.

What are some things to know?

We are recommending that all agents include something like the following in all agreements of purchase and sale: *The Buyer shall pay the balance of the purchase price, subject to the usual adjustments by wire transfer.

The parties acknowledge and agree that all closing documentation can be signed electronically and forwarded by email or fax in accordance with the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000, S.O.2000,c.17 The parties agree that the keys to the property shall be left in a lock box at the property and the code to the same is to be provided to the buyer’s lawyer in escrow pending closing of this transaction.

The parties agree and acknowledge that in the event

“

Our lawyers are working remotely and attending at the office only when necessary. Our clerks are working remotely, but we are functioning like a fine tuned automobile, firing on all cylinders. We are conducting introductory meetings by Skype or Zoom.

”

either the BUYER, BUYER’s lender, SELLER, any of their respective attorneys and their service providers becomes the subject of a voluntary or mandatory COVID-19 virus quarantine or closure prior to or at the time for performance hereunder that results in the parties inability to perform on the closing date stated herein, the closing shall be automatically extended at the request of either party for a period of up to ten (10) business days after such quarantine or closure order is lifted, up to a maximum

delay of forty five (45) days unless the parties otherwise mutually agreed to extend the performance date farther.

The parties herein acknowledge and agree that they are required to close this transaction notwithstanding any impacts of COVID-19, save and except the closing of the Land Registry Office(s) and all financial institutions. That’s it — that’s the clause. Share it with your real estate lawyer.

We deal a lot with Chicago Title, as our clients’ title insurer.

They have just sent out a notice that for the duration of the emergency we can and may accept signatures remotely effected as valid signatures with the originals to be obtained later.

This will enormously help us close your deals.

Our lawyers are working remotely and attending at the office only when necessary. Our clerks are also working remotely, but we are functioning like a fine-tuned automobile, firing on all cylinders. We are conducting introductory meetings by Skype

or Zoom. We are closing deals the same way. Banking can be worked out.

So what does it all mean? If we all work together and take advantage of current technology with the support of the Law Society, title insurers, real estate agents and all those peripheral people that help us to close deals we will continue to prevail and you can still close your dream house and move in and live happy ever after. *Special thanks to Jonathan Schwarz of Revolution Realty at www.revolutionrealty.com for providing the clause for this article.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. So help me!!!

Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. I will try to deal with them in print or electronic form. nexthome.ca 43

ADVICE | FINANCIAL

COVID-19 UPDATE AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

ALISA ARAGON Since being labeled a pandemic per the World Health Organization (WHO), the effect of COVID-19 has begun to ripple through the world’s economy including Canada and has caused several effects.

With the quarantine, selfisolation, cutbacks, temporary business and store closures many people will need assistance with their existing mortgages and mortgage financing.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS:

The one most people are talking about is that the Bank of Canada has lowered the overnight rate from 125 to 75 bps, to reduce the interest cost burden for businesses and consumers alike.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

This will affect anyone with variable rate mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and lines of credit. Most lenders have started reducing their prime rate to 2.95 per cent from 3.45 per cent before the first Bank of Canada announcement on March 4th. However, lenders have reduced the discounts on variable rate mortgages.

Fixed mortgage interest rates are dependent on the bond market which has dropped considerably. While typically fixed mortgage rates move upwards or downwards in parallel to the

bond market. Currently, lenders (including banks, credit unions and mono-lenders – lenders that are federally regulated and have access through them via Mortgage Experts only) have increased fixed rates as of last Friday and again this week. The reason being is that the lenders need liquidity. Therefore, fixed interest rates are increasing.

In addition, OSFI (Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions) has suspended the proposed revision in the qualifying mortgage rates slated to begin April 6th. Therefore, mortgages with less than 20 per cent down payment (high ratio) will continue to qualify based on the Benchmark of Canada rate, currently at 5.19 per cent, but it is expected to fall soon to 5.04 per cent. For mortgages with over 20 per cent down payment (conventional) will continue qualifying at the greater of the Benchmark of Canada rate or the contract rate plus 2 per cent.

WHAT YOUR LENDER CAN DO FOR YOU?

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many lenders are providing homeowners with beneficial options during this time to help alleviate some of the financial stress.

Depending on your lender, the following are some options available for you during this time: • Deferred mortgage payments (some lenders up to 6 months) • Re-amortization of the loan • Capitalization of outstanding interest and costs • Special payment arrangements

Lenders are asking that you contact them if your financial situation is due to the COVID-19 virus and if you are in true financial stress. Each lender has their own formal process that you would need to go thru for them to defer your mortgage payments. And at some point, you will need to make good on those missed payments.

Mortgage payment deferrals are not being offered to clients that are still actively employed and are not experiencing financial hardship. The lender can require you to provide third party verification such as a record of employment, letter from employer confirming layoffs, etc.

It is important for you to contact your lender before your miss a payment as it will affect your credit report.

At this point, it is critical that you stay informed from reliable information sources.

Information is power and the more information you have at your disposal as the situation develops, the better prepared you will be to manage your household and finances.

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

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