editor’snote

The big decision

A little extra research pays off with peace of mind

Y

ou’ve agreed that a new home is the way to go and you’re making headway, but you still have another big decision to make – choosing your home builder.

It pays to check the reputation of the builder/developer before you sign on the dotted line. You can start by finding out how long the company has been in business by asking the sales representative or visiting the company’s website.

Find out if previous purchasers are happy with their homes. Drive around an existing community built by the company and talk to anyone you run into anyone during your tour.

Naturally, you should spend some time visiting several different sales offices and model homes. Get a feel for each company and the staff employed there. Ask a lot of questions and expect to be treated with consideration and respect. No question is too “dumb.”

Think twice about any development where the salespeople push you to make a decision you’re not ready for, or where they are not happy to provide you with the information you request. There are certainly many other builders and salespeople out there who pride themselves on putting the customer first.

When you do find the right home and the right company, making that big decision will be a whole lot easier and enjoyable.

Be prepared

This adage is never more true than when buying your first home

T

he moment you decide to buy your first home is an important one – from getting your finances in order, to learning about mortgages, to researching builders and to getting out there to look at potential communities. Indeed, the excitement grows at every step.

Buying your first home can also be an emotional experience. There will be houses you fall in love with, communities you really want to live in and neighbours you can envision befriending.

As exciting as all of this is, it’s also important to not let your emotions get carried away – to buy more with your heart than your head. This is why you should take your time, do your research and conduct due diligence on every development, builder and home you consider.

This issue of New Home Guide, like all editions we put together, contains a variety of content to guide you through this process. Our goal is to help identify subjects, neighbourhoods, communities, housing types and builders for you to consider – in short, to help you prepare.

With this knowledge, and your own enthusiasm, you’re well on your way!

Ashbury Hill Home on the Rise

by Susan M Boyce

I

ts architecture is inspired by San Francisco’s iconic “painted ladies” – colourfully painted Victorian and Edwardian homes designed with a warm, utterly unique character and charm. It’s a place where flowerboxes are filled with blossoms, neighbours are friendly and architectural details are enhanced by fresh colours.

Introducing Ashbury Hill, an exquisite collection of just 64 townhomes situated on the gentle rise of 148th St. just south of 64th Ave. in Surrey. “Ashbury Hill is the only new home community in the Panorama neighbourhood with two acres of protected greenspace running along one edge,” says

sales manager Tara Lok. “And the best part is that all the three-bedroom homes in this first release have private backyards that back directly onto this permanent greenspace.”

Love Your Home Still Tara can’t wait to show me the interiors – this is where Ashbury Hill’s fresh, contemporary style truly shines. The first is a two-bedroom with a convenient den and powder room located just off the main entry that we instantly agree would make this perfect for a home office or guest room. On the main living level, the kitchen’s open concept makes it a natural focal point for casual entertaining or family gatherings. Unless of course it’s summer and your guest are hanging out on the deck – a massive outdoor space that easily handles the three chairs and large potted plants artistically arranged around a table that are shown here.

As we wander through the other showhomes, a common theme emerges: open, airy floorplans that feel good and live well. From nine-ft. ceilings on main

Ashbury Hill is the only new home community in the Panorama neighbourhood with two acres of protected greenspace running along one edge.

Tara Lok living levels for a greater sense of volume to thoughtful touches like an armoire niche between the master bedroom’s closets to transom windows above the front door, each home has a sense of individuality that’s inviting and flexible. Kitchens flow effortlessly into living rooms or dining rooms, many bedroom boast window box seating and storage seems to be everywhere.

There’s some wonderfully whimsical decorating ideas as well.

Hint: a boy’s bedroom with bunk bed above a camping tent/ hideout. “We just wanted to show people how much fun you can have when you’re decorating these homes,” Tara says.

Get Active, Get Involved Already known for its diverse local amenities, Panorama is a neighbourhood where you’re never short of things to do.

From hiking and biking to eating out or just indulging in a day of shopping, everything you need is just minutes from your front door. Mind you, there’s plenty to keep you active right at home.

First there’s the Creekside Clubhouse boasting almost 3,000 sq. ft. of space comfortable space where you can hang out with family and friends. “It’s like having a country club without the pretense,” Tara says. Here you’ll find a fireside lounge with 16-ft. ceilings, big screen TV, entertainment kitchen and a full fitness studio.

Close by there’s the Coach House – an 860-sq.ft. free standing building with a cosy Great Room perfect for savouring some quiet time with just you and that latest best seller you’ve been itching to delve into. “In our community you’ll find not just one, but two guest suites,” Tara adds. “So when family or friends decide to visit for a few days, they can have their privacy and still be close by for all the festivities.”

And Tara has yet another bonus. “Right in the middle of the community, there will be an outdoor amenity space called The Meadow that’s going to be a fantastic place to relax and chat with your neighbours.”

The Ashbury Hill presentation centre and three display homes are now open noon to 5p.m. daily except Fridays at 100 - 14833 – 61st Ave. in Surrey. Priced from $294,900 for a two-bedroom home or $324,900 for a three-bedroom. Be sure to ask about Ashbury Hill’s limited special promotion!

Finding your new home begins with knowing

what price you can afford

Attractive mortgage rates and

home prices are still making 2013 look like a good year to buy a new home. There are a number of factors to consider – beginning with making certain your decision is one you can really afford.

Buying a new home is one of the biggest life decisions you will ever make and you want to ensure you are both financially and emotionally prepared, according to Kavita Joshi, director of client strategies at RBC. “Your first step should be to determine how much you can afford while still maintaining your chosen lifestyle.” Joshi provides the following tips to get started: Know how much you can afford before beginning your home hunt in earnest, take time to review down payment options, household income, current debt, estimated monthly housing-related costs and closing costs. You can visit the RBC online calculator to help determine how much you can afford (rbcroyalbank.com/cgi–bin/mortgage/tools/ howmuch/afford.pl).

Work with a budget and set a maximum amount on how much you are willing to spend to ensure you can buy your home and still live within your means. Online budgeting tools such as myFinanceTracker (rbcroyalbank.com/myfinancetracker) can help determine exactly where your money is going and how much you have to spend within the parameters you’ve set for yourself.

Do your research Friends, family members and websites can offer you helpful tips and advice. Also, consider reaching out to an RBC mortgage specialist (mortgage.rbc.com) who can give you insight into your finances.

Affordability tips for first-time homebuyers... Owning your first home is a milestone as well as an exciting experience.

However, many first-time buyers can be nervous about the process, as they don’t know what to expect or how to make the best decisions.

RBC Royal Bank research shows that homebuyers between the ages of 18 and 34 worry that buying their first home will mean living outside their means.

“With the proper advice and budgeting tools you can still live within your means and purchase your first home – you can do both,” Joshi says. “An RBC mortgage specialist can help you understand all the financial aspects of owning your

4/30/13 4:42:04 PM

“Your first step should be to determine how much you can afford while still maintaining your chosen lifestyle.” first home, by offering tailored advice and support.” Joshi offers some tips to help first-time homebuyers stretch their dollars even further: Create your wish list Determine what features in a home are need-to-have versus nice-to-have.

Establish your down payment amount It’s helpful to establish an amount you are comfortable with prior to making your purchase. You’ll be glad to know that there are options available depending on how much of a down payment you can afford.

Factor in your closing costs It helps to know up-front what your closing costs will be. When calculating closing costs, it’s fairly safe to assume you’ll need at least an additional 1.5 per cent of the purchase price.

Get pre-approved for your mortgage If you are unsure you qualify for a mortgage or how much you qualify for, speak with a mortgage specialist who can see if you can pre-qualify, so you’ll know what your mortgage options will be.

Understand your payment options Many homebuyers give more thought to interest rates than the mortgage solution itself.

While rates certainly have to be considered, the different types of mortgages, various payment structures, terms and flexibility may have a much greater bearing on your overall costs of home ownership.

Consider unforeseen expenses ahead of time When you’re buying a home, especially for the first time, there are a number of related costs that you may not be familiar with, including: professional home inspection, lawyer fees, land transfer tax, property tax and property insurance. You also should take into account “one-time” costs, such as moving expenses, and ongoing costs like heating, electricity and water.

Be realistic You may be under – or over – estimating how much you can afford for a home. Online mortgage calculators make it easier to estimate accurately, by providing you with information on the maximum mortgage payment amount you can afford each month.

Love your new home Once you’ve received the keys to your new home, it’s time to sit back and enjoy every minute of being a new homeowner.

The Walks New style of townhome living

by Susan M Boyce

Y

ou’ve heard the old adage: location, location, location. Well, when it comes to The Walks in Surrey, get set to be surprised and delighted.

A brand new collection of just 26 townhomes, The Walks brings a stylish sense of vitality to the Scott Road Corridor neighbourhood. “The first key point in the location trio is that you’re close to four major transit route – Hwys. 10, 99, 15 and 91,” says sales manager Ravi Gill. “Second, you’re walking distance to all life amenities like shopping, restaurants, movies, schools and park. And the third location benefit is that these homes are positioned so there’s lots of open greenspace – meaning it’s a very park-like setting.”

We like to say The Walks is a crossover between a townhouse and a single-family home.

Ravi Gill

Designed for living “One of the features that really sets The Walks apart from other developments in this neighbourhood is the fact we incorporate double, side-by-side garages rather than the more typical tandem style,” Ravi says. The benefits, he explains, go far beyond the obvious convenience when you’re parking.

“These homes are at least 20 ft. wide – much wider than you usually find in a townhome – so they feel extremely spacious and open. Plus we can include plenty of single-family features like double-door walk-in kitchen pantries, nine-ft. ceilings on the main living level, bay windows, and walk-in master suite closets – after all, you can never have too much storage.”

The Walks also has outdoor spaces – lots of them. Start with private yards, add front and back balconies (some with views of the adjacent Cougar Park), then spice

it up with a children’s play area plus a lineal park spanning the length of the property. It’s all about savouring the best of our West Coast lifestyle.

Exceptional value Think all this comes with a big price tag? Think again. “Our prices start below $400,000 and that includes net taxes,” Ravi says. “Usually, you’ll pay at least $50,000 more to get a townhome with this level of finishing and a double garage.

We like to say The Walks is a crossover between a townhouse and a single-family home. Our purchasers just like to say it’s the best of all worlds.”

The Walks presentation centre and display home are open noon to 6 p.m. every day at 1 – 12092 – 70th Ave. in Surrey. Easy walking distance to transit, parks, schools and a diverse selection of shopping that includes Save-On-Foods, Chapters and a soon to be opened Target.

andering through the show units at Panorama Station, it is easy to imagine them peopled with moms, dads and kids all talking to each other while doing their own thing. These townhomes feel like home. Their open-concept designs promote interaction and their location in Sullivan puts them a stone’s throw from a great range of activities.

“This is a lifestyle,” says Swarn Johal, sales manager for Dreamstar, the family development business. “You aren’t just buying property you are buying a lifestyle.”

Active and historic location Recreation opportunities abound here. In minutes, you can be swimming, working out or dropping the kids for lessons at the YMCA. Cycling, walking and golf are all close by. White Rock beaches are so close they can become your regular go-to for summer picnics and brisk winter walks.

Great schools dot the nearby landscape as well. Highly ranked Sullivan Elementary is the catchment school and for teens it’s Sullivan Secondary Bell Centre for the Performing Arts right behind the trees. Two Kwantlen University campuses lie within a mile.

Sullivan has a rich history as well. The area was settled before the turn of the century, and by 1908, when the Sullivan clan finished the BC Electric Railway, it had become a major logging, lumber milling and shingle manufacturing community. When walking through the many trails and parks in the area, you will experience the heritage yourself through the many vintage plaques and historical memorabilia.

Gradually, the population of the community shifted so that it now has the highest proportion of professionals in Surrey.

“Bonus!” Johal jokes, adding families are really attracted to the strong community that exists here.

Great design Add elegant, family-centric townhouses to the mix and you have a winner. Unlike many townhouses that have one or two rooms per level, Panorama Station puts all the nine-ft. ceiling living spaces

on one floor and the bedrooms upstairs. Each unit has a washer and dryer upstairs, a powder room on the main floor and a bathroom and ensuite upstairs. There are two sinks in the ensuite “for those busy mornings,” says Johal. The bedrooms are spacious and bright. An electric fireplace provides a nice focal point on the main floor. Many of the homes have mountain views.

The project includes 82 townhouses units ranging from 1,380 to 1,761 sq. ft., an outdoor amenity park in the centre and Sam’s Club House arranged around clusters of large trees. The 16-unit per acre density makes it much more open than the usual developments. While there are three two-bedroom units available, the rest are three bedrooms in two configurations. The linear tandem garage design and the side by side double garage with flex room.

“One of the things I really like is the privacy of the balconies. You aren’t facing each other, so you don’t have to barbecue with your neighbors, unlike the many projects in the area,” says Johal, adding each home has an enclosed yard as well.

The opportunity to buy starts with the Grand Opening Saturday, May 4 when the deal will be sweetened with incentives, including a commitment by Dreamstar to pay the GST. With prices from $339,800 to $449,800 and opening day incentives, this is one project you really want to check out.

First-time buyers expect to spend

$300,000, with average down payment of $48,000: BMO Home Buying Report According to the BMO First-Time Home

Buyer’s Report, the average amount Canadians planning to buy their first home in the next five years plan to spend is approximately $300,000, with an average down payment amount of $48,000 (16 per cent).

The report also revealed: ›O n average, first-time homebuyers expect to be mortgage free in 20 years, with 20 per cent estimating it will take between 10 and 19 years › T hose planning to enter the real estate market for the first time are twice as likely to choose a fixed rate over a variable rate mortgage (46 per cent versus 20 per cent) › F urthermore, first-timers who expect interest rates to stay the same or decrease over the next five years, still prefer fixed rate over variable rate mortgages (39 per cent versus 23 per cent)

“Buying a home is one of the most important financial decisions one can make,” says Laura Parsons, mortgage expert, BMO Bank of Montreal. “It’s crucial that those planning to enter the market are well prepared – not only to manage their costs, but also to pay off their mortgage as soon as possible. Determining what your mortgage payments and overall costs of home ownership will look like, and then living in that financial reality for a year before entering the market, can be an effective strategy.”

Parsons adds that it is encouraging to see that buyers say they are in a position to pay down their

Average Spend on First Home $300,000

mortgage in 20 years or fewer. “Homebuyers can shorten that timeline further by choosing a shorter amortization and taking advantage of accelerated payment options.”

According to the report, two-thirds of first-time buyers (66 per cent) say the latest changes to mortgage regulations – which included reducing the maximum amortization for government-insured mortgages to 25 years from 30 years – have not affected their buying timeline, while one-in-five (19 per cent) say they will have to wait longer before buying as a result.

“A shorter amortization is the most responsible approach to home financing; it’s something BMO has been encouraging their customers to consider for years, as it means becoming debt-free sooner,” says Parsons.

Additional findings include: › Six-in-10 (63 per cent) first-time buyers have made cutbacks to their lifestyle to save for their first home, with just onein-four (27 per cent) expecting their parents or other family members to help them pay for their first home › The majority (59 per cent) of first-time buyers have had to hold off buying their first home because of increasing housing prices › The same number (59 per cent) wish they had bought their first home five years ago.

TEO

Be natural.

Be comfortable.

Be here.

by Janine Mackie

S

ome of the best discoveries in life come when you least expect them, in places you may never even had thought to look. Near every possible convenience from shopping and schools, to live theatre and recreation, Teo, a boutique collection of West Coast townhomes offers what many other new developments in Surrey don’t: A quiet location which may feel seemingly far from the rush of modern living, while in reality is close to everything.

Groceries, Newton wave pool, arts centre and schools nearby Tucked away on Hyland Rd., this peaceful residential neighbourhood between 64th and 72th, is just off King George Blvd., and offers an alternative to homebuyers looking for a more peaceful existence.

“It’s easy to pass by and not even know

it’s here,” says Teo’s project manager, Sacha Singh. “The homes back onto a protected greenbelt and appeal to those who appreciate the good things in life, a respect for simplicity, natural materials and above all a feeling of home, comfort and individuality within a small-scale development.”

Not only is Teo within walking distance of Hyland Elementary, its prime location is just a block from the bus route, making connections to the Skytrain into Vancouver via the Expo line, effortless.

Special spring bonus takes $10,000 off any Teo home in Phase 1 The first 19 homes at Teo have just been released for sale including two-bedroom, three-bedroom and three-bedroom-plus-den floor plans ranging from 1,277 to 1,441 sq. ft. and priced from just $314,900. For a limited time, the developer Alpha Beta will reduce homes by a further $10,000.

“Surrey is recognized as one of the top future real estate investment cities in Canada, so we’re excited to be able to offer young couples, first-time buyers and families alike the opportunity to invest in this community at such an affordable price point,” Singh says.

Designed by Boldwing Continuum Architects, modern living spaces are enhanced with all the features of a custom home including an abundance of windows which bathe homes in natural light, and plenty of in-home conveniences that complement both entertaining and family life.

“Being a boutique style community, this collection of townhomes backs onto a protected greenbelt and appeals to those who appreciate the good things in life...”

Sacha Singh, project manager

Summer barbecues on the spacious deck On a beautiful spring weekend, the three-bedroom showhome welcomes a steady stream of potential homebuyers who are enthralled by the gourmet kitchen outfitted with Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, generously sized double undermount sink with Kohler fixtures and tile backsplash, elegant quartz countertops and dark espresso cabinetry with soft-close hinges. Two colour schemes provide the alternative of a white kitchen. Open living rooms offer plenty of space for entertaining and are accentuated with cosy fireplaces featuring custom designed mantels.

Large decks, private backyards and patios capture the imagination as the ideal spot to host a weekend barbecue or escape with the weekend paper. Low strata fees leave snow removal and lawn maintenance to professions, so Teo residents can spend their days at a nearby golf course, or enjoying all the great services nearby, including the Newton Wave Pool and Recreation Centre or trails at nearby Hazelnut Meadows.

Teo’s own Amenity Room makes planning a social event a breeze, and there’s even a gazebo trail with a small child’s playground. Even the garages were thoughtfully designed to include space for two cars parked in tandem.

In favour of relaxed living, the homes at Teo are both stylish and practical, with easy-to-care-for laminate wood flooring throughout the main floor, living, dining and powder room, and the luxury of textured nylon carpet in the upstairs bedrooms.

Kid-friendly bedrooms and community playground Kids can’t help but fall in love with the showhome’s bedroom decor – a sweet owl motif in the baby room and a snazzy race car theme in the other – both heightened with large daylight windows and spacious closets. Master bedrooms are beautifully finished with lavish ensuites featuring large soaker tub, walk-in shower and fullwidth vanity mirror.

S omet i mes t a k i ng t he road less travelled has its benefits, especially when you discover a community as special as Teo. Visit the showhome open daily (except Fridays) from noon to 5 p.m. at 13864 Hyland Rd. in Surrey.

quicktips

tips to help

you take control

by Hellen Buttigieg

ideally, your home is an expression

of you. You relax there, you entertain there and you do your living there, from stressful moments to sweet serenity. But sometimes life can get busy, and the last thing on your mind is whipping your home into shape.

However, you can live with disorganization for only so long. It ends up making the day more difficult when you’re always on the hunt for some misplaced item that needs urgent response, and it eats up too much time when you always have to clear up a space before you can actually take care of something that needs your immediate attention. It doesn’t take much to take control and reclaim your home. ›› Quick tips on organizing your home: Re-purpose your rooms. Rooms without a specific purpose tend to become museums or dumping grounds. If there are rooms in your home you seldom use, like a formal living room or dining room, consider converting the space into a home office, playroom, or craft and hobby room, depending on your current needs and lifestyle.

Have a “to-do” zone. Most of us keep an on-going “to-do” list but what about the materials that are required for many of those tasks, like the gift you still have to wrap or the library book you have to return? They often end up strewn about in different parts of the house. It makes it much easier if all 52 metro vancouver new home guide | may 3 - 17, 2013

the physical items you need to take action on are located in one place. Consider designating a bookcase, shelving unit or an extra closet as your “to-do” zone to act as a temporary holding tank for work still in progress.

Create a homework centre. Create a study space conducive to doing homework. Find a location away from the TV. Some children like to do their homework in a central location like the kitchen, where Mom and Dad can help. Designate a cupboard or basket for homework supplies and stock it with scissors, glue, pencils, pens, paper and any other items your child will require on a daily basis. For those who prefer to do homework away from any interruptions, make sure there is a comfortable desk surface, adequate lighting, and comfortable seating in addition to homework supplies.

Designate a cupboard or basket for homework supplies and stock it with scissors, glue, pencils, pens, paper and any other items your child will require on a daily basis.

“Catch-up” day brings peace of mind. Dedicate one day per

month to take care of all the annoying little tasks in your home that you never seem to get around to. Whether you realize it or not, those loose doorknobs, broken switches and burned-out light bulbs deplete your energy each time you walk by them.

Assigning a specific day to tackle these minor aggravations gives you permission to do the seemingly insignificant things that you

would normally consider a waste of your time. The added bonus of having a regular catch-up day is that you won’t feel guilty about not taking care of the task as soon as you stumble across it.

Tidy doesn’t mean perfect. Organizing is not necessarily about how it looks; it’s about how it works. If you are not naturally neat, avoid storing everything behind closed doors. Not only can it make you feel ill at ease, it may also be virtually impossible for you to maintain that kind of system. Choose furniture pieces that provide visible storage instead, like a coffee table with shelves underneath. Keep the system low maintenance; if you never seem to get around to hanging your clothes on hangers, place some open bins in your closet.

Keep rooms tidy in less than two minutes. Items that don’t belong in a room are the main contributors to visual clutter. Get into the habit of removing “move elsewhere items” when you leave the room and placing them on their way to where they do belong. For example, if something belongs upstairs, place it at the bottom of the staircase and take it to the proper room the next time you go up.

You’ll be amazed at how effective this technique can be in keeping rooms tidy with minimal effort. ›› Quick tips on organizing your home office: Being comfortable means being productive. Anything that causes you discomfort at your desk will drain your energy and lower your productivity.

Adding a glare screen/radiation filter on your computer monitor may prevent headaches and eyestrain. Placing something inspiring and uplifting on the wall facing you can spark your creativity. Add a plant to breath life into your workspace and absorb toxins in the air. Feng Shui experts suggest placing your desk in the

I did this recently and I’m amazed at how much more comfortable I feel. If it’s not possible for you, a recommended correction is to hang a mirror that gives you a clear view of the door from where you are sitting. ›› Quick tips on organizing your life : Set mini-goals for success. When setting organization goals, be sure to make them attainable. Break up the task into baby steps to increase your success. For example, rather than setting out to organize the entire bedroom in one sitting, make it your goal to organize one dresser or even just one drawer at a time. If a goal can be reached easily, the sense of gratification you feel will keep you motivated to continue. Celebrate with a mini-reward after each mini-goal is reached and enjoy a big reward once the entire job is complete. may 3 - 17, 2013 | metro vancouver new home guide 53

bat, but once you’re in the market, it’s easier to move up.

So, while the answer to the question – What type of home should you buy? – is specific to circumstances, there are also some common guidelines you can follow.

What type of home should you buy?

by WAYNE KARL WHAT T Y PE OF HOME SHOULD YOU BU Y?

How much can you afford?

Experts agree it is never a good idea to make yourself house-poor, and it is a very common mistake, particularly of first-time buyers, to buy more home than you can really afford. Meeting with a mortgage broker or your banker will help determine your full financial picture, assessing everything from your credit rating to how much you have saved for a down payment. And with tougher mortgage rules recently taking effect, buyers should “stress-test” their plans – seeing how well you could cope with higher mortgage payments brought on by rising interest rates.

How much will it really cost?

Another common homebuyer mistake is not being prepared for all the closing costs involved: lawyer fees, land transfer taxes, utilities, insurance, and home inspection and appraisal fees and insurance. All of these costs add up, and ultimately should factor into your overall home-shopping budget.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving up to a larger home or downsizing to a smaller one, the answer to this question is a very individual one. It short, it really depends on your situation – everything from the amount of your down payment to where you work to whether you have kids Where do you want to live? to other personal circumstances.

Wendy and Kim at Hampstead

Home dreams come true

by Susan M Boyce

Wendy and Kim weren’t really

thinking about a new home. Certainly not a new home in Maple Ridge. But while they steadily upgraded their New Westminster house, they kept an eye on trends and new home communities.

“We’d been to hundreds of places – often just to get ideas – but Kim was always dead set against moving to Maple Ridge,” Wendy admits. “Then Hampstead’s ad caught our attention. We liked the online virtual video, so we thought why not check it out? When we walked into the Hampstead showhome, we looked at each other, and just said ‘uh-huh.’

That big, grand entryway, the skybridge, the open living space – it was like Portrait Homes had taken our vision and built it.”

The perfect location The couple knew they wanted the Garibaldi plan, but they also fell in love with a lot backing onto the greenbelt. Undeterred by the fact this particular lot was one that hadn’t actually been released yet, Wendy began methodically following up every day. “It got to the point the sales staff would say ‘Hi Wendy’ when they picked up the phone,” she says laughing at the memory. Her persistence paid off though, and the day Lot 26 came on the market, Wendy and Kim signed a sales contract.

Living here feels like we’re on a permanent vacation.

Wendy

Making it unique “Rob and his staff were awesome about allowing us to make changes that would make our home exactly what we wanted,” Wendy says. “He’s one of those genuinely kind men and so passionate about building homes. And he was always so patient when we had questions.”

Even when the couple decided they really did want to add an outdoor living space, the Portrait team made it work. “Because it was quite late in the building process, we thought our move-in day might be pushed back a month,” Kim says.

“But Rob called and said if we didn’t mind workers in the backyard, we could still move the same day we were supposed to.”

In January, the couple and their two dogs took possession of their new home, and they’re unanimous that moving to Maple Ridge was the perfect choice. “We have zero regrets,” Wendy says with a bubbly and irresistible enthusiasm. “We’re both avid hikers and cyclists, so having all that right outside is fantastic. At night, it’s so quiet you can hear the frogs croaking and we often see deer. Living here feels like we’re on a permanent vacation.”

Hampstead is the newest phase of Portrait Homes’ award-winning Silver Ridge master-planned community. More information at portraithomes.ca
