Seymour Village Pure North Shore Location:

THINK YOU KNOW the North Shore? Well

North Vancouver

think again, because Seymour Village is about to change the way you imagine life in North Vancouver.

A partnership between Aquilini Development and Takaya Developments, a branch of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, this spectacular 25-acre masterplanned community is surrounded by majestic forest, natural grandeur and the lush greens of the Seymour Golf & Country Club to the northeast. You could say this is a little slice of paradise.

And here’s the news people have been waiting for. The first phase of Seymour Village homes celebrated its grand opening previews on September 26th, with sales starting on

October 10th, and they’re like nothing I’ve seen before in this neighbourhood — or anywhere else for that matter. The crisp angularity is dramatic and distinctly 21st Century, yet there’s also an inner sense of the organic minimalism that defined Frank Lloyd Wright’s trendsetting designs.

Each façade features extensive use of natural stained, wood siding and soffits. Glass with metal railings defines the generously sized balconies, and front doors are framed with panels that provide unanticipated punches of colour — blue, red, green.

For me though, it’s the L-shaped cladding that cascades from the roof and down one side that’s the most innovative feature. It’s one of those rare designs that quite simply

take my breath away because they’re so unexpected and so very creative.

Homes For Living Inside, these homes are thoughtfully crafted to make life easier. “Downsizers who already live on the North Shore love them because they have so much space,” says Deren Akinci, project marketer.

“Families like the open floorplans that make entertaining easy.”

And everyone loves the starting price of $689,900. “The cost of buying a single-family home in Vancouver

has gone through the roof,” Deren says. “Even in the suburbs it can be prohibitively expensive. At Seymour Village, you get a double benefit — the cost savings of a townhome and the extra value of purchasing a leasehold property. And you can still be in downtown Vancouver in less than 20 minutes. It’s a win-win all round.”

Connected Lifestyle “This whole area is amazing,” Deren says. “Everything that makes the West Coast such a desirable place to live

is nearby. You’re minutes from some of the best hiking and biking trails in Metro Vancouver, there’s no shortage of shopping and restaurants close by, Capilano University is about an eightminute drive, and if you haven’t been to the beach at Cates Park you should — especially since it’s only two minutes away.”

Of course, there’s also Deep Cove with its charming theatre and art gallery plus the famous Honey Doughnuts… which reminds me… I think it’s time for a snack. And on the way back, I can snag a growler and some of the most interesting gin around at the Deep Cove Brewers and Distillers. Life is good here on the North Shore.

The first offering at Seymour Village will be an exclusive collection of 49, three-bedroom townhomes. Three distinctive floor plans of either two or three storeys with homes ranging from 1,608 to 1,760 square feet.

Prices start at $689,900. Now open for previews at 590 Raven Woods Drive in North Vancouver, noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays. Sales starting October 10th. For more information visit seymourvillage.com or call 604.924.0818.

Upgrades for long term living

By Jane Lockhart | Photography by Brandon Barré

WHEN PURCHASING a new home or

condo, the buyer is faced with the dreaded decision of what upgrades to put their hard earned money towards.

The list of potential upgrades is often long and daunting, especially for someone who is “new” to buying new.

It is important to look at how long you want to live in the home for, potential projects or short-term renovations you may have in mind and the best return on your dollar.

20 YPNEXTHOME.CA

There are a couple ways to look at upgrades. There are the ones that can be done only during the building process (or are extremely expensive afterwards), ones that make the most sense during the building process and ones that are more of a cosmetic or superficial nature

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/inspiration

that are nice to have but can be done at anytime. It is hard for a new homeowner to think of what the long term plans for their new home are, but believe me; this exercise will be well worth it in the end!

In terms of upgrades that are best to be done during the building or

construction stages, these are things you are going to want to ask your builder about sooner, rather than later.

These upgrades are also a surefire way to increase your home’s value right out of the gate. Most builders adhere to an eight-ft. guideline in terms of ceiling height. However, new homes have been known to incorporate ceilings of up to a 10-ft. height. Higher ceilings immediately make a room feel larger and can add to its general design and appeal. They also adds a general feeling of luxury to a new home.

Many builders offer both brick and siding options on their floorplans. For this decision, homeowners really have to evaluate their long-term plans. Using brick helps guarantee your house will last through most any weather condition (think about a popular fairy tale with three pigs and a wolf!). Brick can also be quieter, blocking the homeowner from outside noise. That being said, aluminum siding is much, much more cost effective, but needs regular maintenance.

Unless you are planning on staying in your home for a very long period or want to ensure high resale value, siding might be the way to go.

Other areas to consider for upgrades during the building period of your new home can be additional lighting, pot lights, additional outlets (especially on a second floor), additional fireplaces, larger windows, larger windows in the basement and a rough in for the basement. These are all upgrades that almost have to be done before the house is complete and can be very costly once the house is built.

Purchasing a new home can be very exciting...and a little nerve racking! Make sure to take the time to really think about what you want in your new home, so once you move in, it’s perfect!

Q&A

Trends in the Fraser Valley Housing Market 10 Minutes with Scott Brown

IF YOU’RE NOT REALLY sure how far the Fraser Valley extends, you’re not alone.

But make no mistake: this expansive area is rapidly becoming a powerhouse in the Lower Mainland’s real estate market.

This issue, New Home Guide chats with Scott Brown, president of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing, about some of the things that make the Fraser Valley unique and appealing to today’s homebuyers.

Q: How is the Fraser Valley defined geographically?

A: We consider the Fraser Valley to encompass municipalities located south of the Fraser River and east of Richmond or north of the Fraser River and east of Port Coquitlam. So some of the primary real estate market areas include Surrey 24 YPNEXTHOME.CA

By Susan M Boyce

(Metro Vancouver’s emerging ‘second city’), Tsawwassen/Delta, Langley, and Maple Ridge.

Q: So is the Fraser Valley housing market an extension of the Metro Vancouver market?

A: Not at all. The media often talks about Metro Vancouver as if the entire market is the same as Westside Vancouver or downtown.

In reality, the Fraser Valley is more like a collection of micro markets. Many buyers here do not aspire to the Yaletown lifestyle and have more in common with homeowners in medium centers like Victoria or Calgary.

Which is not to say this demographic doesn’t appreciate or want quality. They do.

But it’s important to realize that just because a feature is popular in downtown Vancouver, doesn’t mean it will automatically be popular in the Fraser Valley.

Scott Brown TOP

Exchange by Hayer Lifestyles (Langley).

TOP RIGHT

Alder at Milner Heights

by Vesta Properties (Langley)

Q: What about the all-important issue of cost?

A: It’s under-reported, but price levels in the Fraser Valley have not increased in a meaningful manner since the re-set of 2009.

For example, the average price per square foot of townhomes in Surrey/ Langley is half what it is in Vancouver’s Eastside. Highrise condominiums of equal or better specifications sell for 20 to 30 per cent less than downtown Vancouver, and lowrise apartments sell for about 30 per cent less than equivalent product in Burnaby.

It’s also interesting to note that 70 per cent of townhomes sales in Metro Vancouver were in the Fraser Valley.

And homes here often move rapidly — Exchange in Langley sold over 100 townhomes in less than six months.

Q: What are some Fraser Valley market trends you see?

A: Townhomes are emerging as the new single-family. There’s a whole generation who grew up in the suburbs, moved to Vancouver, and are now returning to the neighbourhoods where they grew up, because for the same price they’d pay for a two-bedroom condo in Vancouver they can buy a three- or four-bedroom townhouse.

They don’t expect to own a singlefamily house and, unlike their parents, they aren’t willing to compromise

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

lifestyle. They expect to still be able to travel and go out for dinner.

Local and Mainland Chinese buyers will continue gaining influence in markets like South Surrey, White Rock and Maple Ridge. Many of these buyers are looking for “friendly and familiar” zones with first class schools for their children.

The demand for innovative product will continue gaining traction. From a high rise perspective, small is the new big — as evidenced by the success of products like Tien Sher’s Balance and Reliance Properties’ Prime in Surrey City Centre. Large “executive” townhome product like Ikonik Homes’ Jacobsen will become increasingly attractive as a viable alternative to single-family homes. Buyers also love private rooftop spaces like those offered at The Woods

by Gamercy and Exchange by Hayer Lifestyles — both projects sold 12-18 months faster than anticipated.

Master-on-the-main product will continue to appeal to the aging demographic found throughout Metro Vancouver and The Fraser Valley.

Heritage by Infinity Properties had almost 500 people come through their preview centre with virtually no

advertising, and Vesta Properties are seeing a similar reaction to their new release at Milner Heights.

There’s also a strong trend to resort areas for year-round living. The Cottages at Cultus were so popular that developer Jon Van Geel is now building Creekside Mills at Cultus Lake — a new community designed specifically as a full-time neighbourhood.

Q: Any Fraser Valley hot spots you’re keeping a particularly close watch on?

A: Abbotsford will be more active than it’s been during the last decade with some highly creative projects in the works including an exciting new mixeduse project from Matsqui Development Co Ltd. Tsawwassen is poised to follow White Rock’s lead and go from sleepy little town to vibrant community thanks to the South Perimeter Road, ongoing rejuvenation of the downtown centre, and Century Groups’ Southlands project — which will be a game changer.

And, of course, there’s the Surrey City Central neighbourhood. In the next five years, as many as 10,000 new residents will be living within five blocks of City Hall and the iconic 3 Civic Place creating a whole new level of vibrancy.

IT’S NO SECRET, I love South Surrey’s Morgan Heights neighbourhood. The air always feels fresh here and the location means easy walking to everything, from shops and galleries to parks and beaches.

So you can bet I can’t wait to take a look at Morgan Rise, a brand new collection of 64 single-family homes from Foxridge Homes — especially since Diane Zarola, director of sales and marketing, has told me there are four, professionally furnished display homes for me to check out. I can’t wait.

Designed to Delight From the street, Morgan Rise’s architecture has an almost storybook charm — stone accents, steeply gabled

rooflines, inviting front porches and exquisitely proportioned windows that I can see will fill these homes with sunlight. No wonder Diane tells me that within three weeks of opening almost half these homes were sporting “SOLD” signs.

As we wander through the four display homes, the sheer good looks and intelligent design I’ve come to expect from Foxridge are evident everywhere.

Main floor ceilings that soar 10-foot high, fireplaces with luxurious stone surrounds and an art or TV niche above, vaulted master suites featuring lavishly appointed ensuites with granite counters and oversized, frameless glass showers — these homes have it all… and then some. Just off the front entry, there’s even an open, sunny flex-room that could be an office, formal dining room, library, mediation room… okay, you get the idea — its uses are limited only by your imagination.

Since Diane always remembers my passion for cooking, we spend some extra time in the kitchens.

In a word, they’re beautiful. But more importantly, they’re designed for function whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a lavish party for the entire family.

There’s an eye-level microwave integrated into a pantry wall, massive double sinks in a sexy-looking matte finish that I know is virtually indestructible, plus a centre island that’s sure to become a social hub of day-to-day life.

This is truly one of South Surrey’s prime neighbourhoods. — Diane Zarola

Enviable Location “This is truly one of South Surrey’s prime neighbourhoods,” Diane says. “Sunnyside Elementary is literally just around the corner and Southridge Private School is only a couple of blocks away. You can be on the freeway to YVR or the US border in minutes, the White Rock Beach Promenade is about a 10-minute drive, and there are four golf courses less than a 15-minute drive away.”

She points to the North Shore Mountains that float on the horizon to the north. “And couldn’t you just get used to looking at that,” she says. Well yes, I could… in about three minutes flat.

Morgan Rise’s four three-bedroom display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily at 159th Street and Mountain View Drive in South Surrey. Prices start in the $820,000’s. Be sure to stop in at the Design Centre where you can customize everything from flooring to fixtures for your new home.

Advice | QUICK TIPS

Autumn will soon be upon us and with that comes

Time management

By Hellen Buttigieg

BACK-TO-SCHOOL and back-to-work

season is upon us, and that means more time in the kitchen preparing lunches and dinners, and less time for you to put your feet up or get other errands done.

Here are some helpful tips to handle the stress of autumn.

What’s for dinner? Avoid the stress and expense of last-minute dinner decisions with a little advanced planning.

Ask your family to list their favourite meals and create a revolving two-week dinner menu (with a grocery list to match). Post it on the fridge so whoever comes home first can start preparing it.

Double the amount you make and freeze it for quick meals on the busiest nights.

Make school lunches easy. Designate one shelf in the pantry for school snacks only. Transfer foods to airtight containers

– you’ll save space because they stack well, and the food will keep longer. Pack lunches the night before and refrigerate.

Assign an area in the fridge for school lunches and drinks. With smaller children, encourage independence by storing their foods low enough for the little ones to reach.

Involve the kids. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Teach your kids how to do age-appropriate tasks and give them a weekly chore list. You will be helping them to develop important life skills. After you show them how to do each task, post a step-by-step checklist for them to follow when they do it on their own (use pictures for kids who are too young to read). This will allow them to work independently and gain confidence in their newly acquired skills.

Clean as you go. Handle small messes as they happen to save time and effort in the long run. Rinse dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher immediately after use, before the food hardens and sticks.

If something spills in the fridge, clean it as soon as you notice. If you stain an article of clothing, pre-treat it right away.

Keep wipes handy for quick bathroom and kitchen spot-cleaning.

How’s your “to do” list working out for you? If you find your “to do” list overwhelming and ineffective, consider approaching it differently. Rather than one long list, create several short ones based on the category of the task, i.e. errands, home, calls, computer, etc.

Keep your lists together in a small notebook that’s portable and always easily accessible.

Now, where was I? If you get interrupted while working on something important, use a notebook or a sticky note to jot down where you left off.

When you return to the task, you won’t waste as much time figuring out where to resume.

Multi-tasking reduces productivity.

Contrary to popular belief, multitasking may actually lower productivity.

Switching back and forth from one task to another costs time and leads to frustration and feelings of overwhelm.

As a result, stress increases and there is a greater chance of errors. Although simple tasks can be done at the same time, like watching TV and folding laundry, important, complex activities require our undivided attention.

Two-timing tasks. Double up your simple activities and you’ll be able to do more in less time. Rather than chatting with a friend at the coffee shop, meet at the gym and work out together instead.

Read the morning paper while running on the treadmill.

“My kryptonite is sexy built-in storage.”

—Todd

Love it or list it:

He says, she says

By Diane Duflot

RECENTLY, WE SPOKE to Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot of Love it or List it Vancouver, to get a “He says, She says” take on what makes each of them tick in regards to living spaces.

DD: How does budget factor into your design plans?

Todd: Budget often becomes a dirty word for almost all of us, but it is the single biggest factor when it comes to renovations and design. I believe you need to prioritize the core elements of the home that add value to a space. Get this right, and you can have fun with pillows and rugs down the road, get it wrong, and it’s lipstick on a pig.

Jillian: Staying on budget is a huge deal for a designer, but I tend to focus more on the intimate details of the space and try to save money by finding forgotten gems in the back of a antique shop rather than evaluating ROI. Yawn!

Photo Love It or List It Vancouver / Paul Joseph

DD: What elements are integral to your design style?

Todd: I’m not a knick-knack kinda guy, and in our busy house—with young kids running around—it’s never a good idea. I love practical design elements that are cool and fun, but also durable and low maintenance.

I love a minimal space; I hate things on counters for the most part. My kryptonite is sexy built-in storage.

Jillian: Clutter is a no-no in my space, but I love incorporating accessories that add personality to a home. A bare-bones house just seems depressing to me.

“Texture, inconsistency and little signs of love.”

—Jillian 38 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Phots Love It or List It Vancouver / Janis Nicolay

DD: How would you describe your design aesthetic?

Todd: I’m inspired by a contemporary West Coast aesthetic and gravitate towards unique spaces that reflect the environment around me. Exposed wood, stone and natural light add a certain timelessness and warmth to a space. I designed our home with playful elements so every room has an interesting architectural flare that makes for cool unique experiences.

Including a climbing wall in the front entry.

Jillian: I’m with Todd in that a house should complement the surrounding environment (I swoon over overgrown flower arrangements and tons of natural light), but my style leans more towards clean, romantic and a little bit country.

DD: You’ve both mentioned that it’s important to take account of a home’s surroundings in its interior. Is it also important to bring the aesthetic of the home’s interior into the outdoor living space? If so, how do you accomplish this?

Todd: West coast living is all about the outdoors and managing to create a great space that you can enjoy outside is absolutely critical for me. We built a huge deck that ties all the rooms together. It allows each of the bedrooms to have sliding doors, creating an environment that draws us out to enjoy the view and fresh air. This deck serves our family for BBQ’s, dance parties, kids bike riding, sand box, planter boxes, hammock time, and after it’s all done...a soak in the hot tub!

Photos Love It or List It Vancouver / Janis Nicolay OCT 2 - OCT 16, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE 39

Jillian: I absolutely love a home that flows effortlessly from indoors to out. I like to keep it fresh, airy, girly and a little bit country while focusing on creating a comfy space to entertain family and friends. My Vancouver house doesn’t offer a ton of outdoor living space, so I’ve made a point of incorporating that vibe into my Kelowna home with a big outdoor kitchen complete with a full dining set and twinkly string lights.

DD: Do either of you have a space in your homes that you identify as a personal sanctuary?

Todd: I like practical storage and I think every house needs a garage and workshop. I’m not a huge fan of the dedicated movie room or the cliché “man cave.”

Jillian: My workshop is my closet! This is probably the messiest room the house and takes a ton of turnover.

Photos Love It or List It Vancouver / Janis Nicolay

DD: What is your favourite room in your current house, and why is this space special to you?

Todd: My favourite space is my office because it is full of elements that reflect my past (show posters, a hockey stick signed by Wayne Gretzky, my first pair of ski’s). It captures the essence of why we choose to live on the West Coast and also gives me a space to hide away like a kid in his bedroom. It’s a luxury, but I also love to sit at the desk I built out of reclaimed hand milled cedar.

40 YPNEXTHOME.CA

PHOTO LOVE IT OR LIST IT VANCOUVER / DAVID STRONGMAN

DD: Do you see the bedroom as an important place to use space, perhaps because you view it as a sanctuary of sorts?

If not, what spaces in your home do you like the feel of a little more luxury?

Todd: An inspirational office, a large shower, a king size bed with hotel bedding and a view. I don’t need to waste valuable square footage where I sleep, although I wouldn’t mind a little “sanctuary time” with my wife, if Jill is willing to babysit. If you can find a little spot in your home that is just for you, especially when you live with others, it becomes a little sanctuary.

Jillian: A small bedroom would just not work for me—my bedroom is my sanctuary, not just my sleeping space, so I need to have enough room for some treasures.

Jillian: My kitchen. It’s basically all we need. It’s where everyone gatherers, everyone eats, its were all the messes are made and the memories are created.

DD: What makes a space worthy of the name “home”?

Todd: The people who live there. The little shoes scattered on the floor, the familiar place you sit and drink your coffee, the table you host family and friends. A ‘home’ is a reflection of you and should be personalized with elements that reflect you and your passions.

Jillian: The story of your life being told through collections of furniture, art, artefacts, fabrics and lighting. Eclectic mixes of the things that make you happy, calm, alive, fresh, mellow and grateful. Texture, inconsistency and little signs of love.

Photo Love It or List It Vancouver / David Strongman

DD: Is being a Vancouverite important to your design style?

If so, how?

Todd: Yes! I am totally influenced by my surroundings. I am passionate about west coast architecture, which is very dynamic and innovative especially in the residential market. We don’t have row upon row of identical houses like some parts of the country. I like to try and reflect the dramatic landscape that we build our houses on. We don’t have harsh winters allowing us to introduce tons of glass and incorporating natural light. Vancouver is known for open floorplans, exposed timber, wood both outside and inside, flat or somewhat flat roofs. I could go on forever, but growing up here has put this type of architecture in my DNA. Jillian: I think Vancouver’s eclectic personality totally vibes with my overall love of mixing and matching the old with the new. B.C. is such a gorgeous place to live, and I’m constantly inspired by the natural environment and incredible, creative people that call it home.

Love It or List It Vancouver’s hosts, Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot will both be appearing at the 2015 Vancouver Home + Design Show. They will be presenting onstage together on Friday, October 23 at 7 p.m., and Todd is doing a solo presentation on Saturday, October 24 at 2 p.m.

Advice | MIND OVER MORTGAGE

What is the difference between a deposit and down payment?

By Alisa Aragon

IT IS IMPORTANT to determine the difference between a deposit and down payment and at which point each of them have to be paid.

The deposit is the money that you put down to secure the property that you are purchasing, in other words you are proving that you are serious about buying the property. There is no set amount on how much the deposit amount is. When you are writing an offer to purchase with your real estate agent, they will require a deposit amount. That amount will depend on the purchase price and how quickly you will be closing on the sale. The deposit is applied against the purchase price of the property when the sale closes. The deposit will become part of the down payment. If you don’t close on the property, the deposit is lost.

The down payment is the money that you put up front when you purchase a property. Down payments typically range from 5 per cent to 20 per cent of the total value of the property. The minimum down payment required to purchase a property is 5 per cent. There are different down payment requirements when you are purchasing. If you are an employee, you can put as little as 5 per cent down payment. For self-employed individuals it can be as low as 10 per cent and if you are purchasing a rental/ investment property you will need to put a minimum of 20 per cent down payment. The full

amount of the down payment is payable when the sale closes.

Below are a couple of examples:

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

Example 1: The buyers are buying a property with a purchase price of $525,000. They will be putting a 10 per cent down payment ($52,500). They removed subjects and their offer has become a firm deal on October 2nd, at this point they give a deposit of $26,250. They will be closing on November 15th and the buyers will need to pay the balance of the down payment of $26,250, making a total down payment of $52,500.

Example 2: The buyers are buying a property that is under construction and the developer

is asking for a 10 per cent deposit. The property that they are purchasing is $619,900 plus GST. They have given a deposit of $61,990. The final purchase price with GST is $650,895. The buyers are only putting a down payment of 5 per cent ($32,544.75). The buyers will be getting the difference back at the time of closing after the deductions have been made for the closing costs.

Mikey Young At Heart APP can save lives

By Marlene Eisner

THE NEW MIKEY YOUNG At Heart APP is an educational program that teaches life-saving skills through informational videos on how to perform CPR and use a MIKEY (Automatic External) defibrillator.

These skills can increase the odds of survival for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest victim by up to 75 per cent.

The free APP is named for an initiative of The Mikey Network, a registered charity established in 2003 by Heathwood Homes and The Heron Group of Companies.

The Network has placed more than 1,850 automated external defibrillators called MIKEYs in public places, and to date, 27 lives have been saved because a MIKEY was on hand.

The Mikey Network is offering students to earn high school volunteer hours; students can download the app, watch the videos, learn how to use a MIKEY defibrillator, then take quizzes that earn them volunteer hours when completed. Students can also sign up to be a Mikey Young At Heart Program Ambassador at their school.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen to anyone of any age, anytime, anywhere, and unless the person is resuscitated within a few minutes, there is little chance of

46 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

survival. Nearly 7,000 incidences occur in Ontario each year, mostly in public places, and many to otherwise healthy young people. The Mikey Network places MIKEY defibrillators to offer people who collapse outside of a hospital setting a second chance at life.

It’s easy to make a life-saving difference. All it takes is a little time and attention.

IT’S OFFICIAL. Langley homebuyers have fallen in with Alder at Milner Heights. “We celebrated our grand opening on September 19th, and we sold 25% of our first phase that weekend alone,” says Leah Erridge, marketing specialist.

And no wonder. The newest neighbourhood in this award-winning masterplanned community by Vesta Properties, Alder offers four distinctive home types, a tranquil setting that’s still just minutes from the burgeoning amenities of downtown Langley and Willoughby, plus a warm, friendly ambiance.

Life on Your Own Terms Today, though, I’m here to experience Alder’s two, brand new showhomes. Leah’s already told me the themes and I’m intrigued: “mid-century modern” and “reused/recycled.”

As we step into the ’70s-inspired mid-century modern, I hear myself give a sigh of appreciation.

The kitchen is massive and flows effortlessly into a sun-drenched, open-concept living room with electric fireplace, turquoise accents and retro-chic dining table set for six — although for a family dinner celebration, it would easily fit eight or more.

I resist an impulse to settle comfortably on the king-sized, white sectional and head for the family room. Here I discover a deck with gas hook-up and plenty of space for outdoor lounging furniture — definitely where you’d find me barbequing most nights and a feature that’s found in every Alder home.

Upstairs, Leah has another surprise — a master suite that feels so spacious it’s like two bedrooms combined.

This also where Vesta has intelligently located the washer/dryer — because who wants to be continually running up and down the stairs checking laundry?

For something completely different, Alder’s second display home has the rural charm of reclaimed wood dining room bench, a downright funky black chandelier, plus a cottage-style bookshelf recessed right into the livingroom wall. This plan also a groundlevel flex room decked out here as a TV/media space but that could easily be an office, gym, or guest bedroom.

“We really wanted to showcase some different decorating ideas,” Leah explains. After all, choice is good.

Alder at Milner Heights offers 119 townhomes ranging from priced from 1,650 to 3,150 square feet. Two display homes open noon to 5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday (closed Thursday/ Friday) at 7059 – 210th Street in Langley. For more information visit milnerheights.ca or call 604.371.0928.

BoC decision to hold overnight lending rate generally

good news for Canadians

By Alyssa Richard

THE BANK OF CANADA (BOC)

released its regularly scheduled interest rate update on Sept. 9, announcing it would not change the overnight lending rate from 0.50 per cent. With the economy performing better than expected and a federal election in full swing, the BoC opted to leave things as they are and not make any changes for the time being.

In the previous interest rate announcement on July 15, the BoC cut the overnight lending rate by 25 basis points. It was the second change in just six months, echoing a 25 basis point cut in January. July’s announcement led to a flurry of activity, as consumers came searched for lower mortgage rates.

In this most recent announcement, however, the BoC had a somewhat more positive outlook. A statement from the central bank said “the stimulative effects of previous monetary policy actions are working their way through the Canadian economy.” The BoC also cautioned that Canada’s economic future will be heavily influenced by factors beyond its control. Uncertainty in China and

the growing economic strength of the United States were two major pressures cited by the Bank.

Attention is now shifting to the U.S. Federal Reserve, which could potentially raise interest rates in that country as early as this month. Earlier this year, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that the Fed would raise rates in September, but experts are now saying it could be later this year before they pull the trigger. It’s still seen as a matter of when – not if – rates will go up there, and when they do, it will be the first such increase since 2008.

The Bank of Canada has said they wouldn’t necessarily follow an American lead, but a U.S. rate hike would have implications on our economy, and would likely push the Canadian dollar down even further relative to the greenback.

By deferring any further changes to the overnight rate, the BoC has left

For the average Canadian, today’s announcement is generally good news.

If you have a variable rate mortgage, your interest rate should stay the same for the time being. itself breathing room to react to an American rate increase.

For the average Canadian, today’s announcement is generally good news. If you have a variable rate mortgage, your interest rate should stay the same for the time being. Even though the major banks didn’t pass along the entire discount from this year’s rate cuts, don’t expect them to use today as an opportunity to step up any competition.

The Bank of Canada’s next opportunity to change the overnight lending rate is Oct. 21.

Neighbourhood Profile

New Westminster Rich heritage, bright future

By Diane Duflot

THE FIRST CAPITAL of British Columbia,

New Westminster is situated on the Burrard Peninsula and comprises the area from North of the Fraser River to Tenth Avenue and the width from Marine Drive to Brunette Avenue.

Known affectionately as “The Royal City” thanks to Queen Victoria naming it after Westminster, the part of London that holds the buildings of Parliament.

New West is made up of a broad range of micro-neighbourhoods, and 60 YPNEXTHOME.CA

it truly offers something for everyone: from the heritage homes of Queen’s Park to the modern condos downtown.

There is a pride of place here, and it’s often said that people who move here never want to leave.

Density means accessibility and diversity New West might be considered the poster city for the housing diversity that many Vancouver politicians say the

region needs to adopt to make room for the ever-growing population. The types of home on offer here are diverse. Older apartments are usually the cheapest option, but new condos are still relatively affordable in this city. Single-family homes vary in price, depending on which area of New West they’re in and their size, of course. Queen’s Park and Glenbrooke North can be a bit pricey, but buying in Queensborough will give you more bang for your buck.

MORE PHOTOS ONLINE ypnexthome.ca

This city is home to all types— singles, couples, empty-nesters—but young families are a rapidly growing group, and it’s no wonder why: from splash pads scattered throughout the neighbourhood, to the petting zoo at Queen’s Park, to Motoring Munchkins at the Arenex, New West has an abundance of amenities for tots, but there is plenty of entertainment for all ages year ‘round in New West, too, whether it be strolling through streets in Queen’s Park to gaze at the cherry blossoms from the end of March, the Hyack Festival in May, the Queen’s Park Annual Garage Sale in May or the Sapperton Day Street Festival in June.

Walkable and transit friendly New West Mayor, John Coté, who has lived in the city for most of his adult

This sweet spot has a reputation for great coffee and for feeling like home away from home. Customers fetch their own simple drinks and place settings and servers bring the food and any specialty drinks.

The Royal City Farmer’s Market

life, views it as “extremely walkable and transit friendly,” crediting recent changes for the positive to “the growth of transit-oriented development in the area.” Since New West is a fairly small suburb, it is easy to navigate on foot (if you don’t mind climbing a few hills), and necessities are close to home in all of its neighbourhoods.

If you’d like to venture farther afield, the city is also easily accessible by public transit, and since it’s adjacent to Surrey, Burnaby and Coquitlam, commutes to these cities are fairly swift. A bridgefree commute downtown makes it a predictable, if not super fast commute.

Rich history of a former capital Buildings here reflect the rich history of the former capital, and areas are becoming increasingly gentrified. Mayor Coté, who has lived here most of his adult life, has seen “a lot of change in the last 10 years, and significant revitalization. There has been an influx of thousands of residents downtown, and with them has come a new energy and vibrancy.”

Mayor Coté sees this as just the beginning of changes to come, noting that “in the future, there will be a great connection between downtown and the waterfront, and a pedestrian bridge will soon connect Queesborough to those areas as well.”

62 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Held at the Quay during Winter months and in Tipperary Park in the Summer, the Royal City Farmer’s Market, is more than a bunch of fruit and veggie stands, it’s a community gathering place.

Queen’s Park

This sprawling park has plenty of activities for the whole family: tennis courts, an arena, the Arenex, a play ground, and both a spray park and a petting zoo from May to September.

The Quay

From the River Market (which is home to terrific eats, a circus school, and even hosts music and baking lessons for tots) to a walk along the pier, New Westminster Quay has something for everybody.

Pink Ribbon Bakery

Delish cupcake concoctions are on sale here on the daily. Need a cake for a special occasion? Sheila can sculpt pretty much anything anybody can dream out of cake, delicious cake.

Hot off the web The skinny on what’s happening in real estate in the lower mainland. For more details on these stories, and for more real-estate news, visit nexthome.yp.ca/news

By Diane Duflot

Wellbeing of Metro Vancouver’s aging population vital In about 25 years, a quarter of British Columbians will be over 65 years old.

Those who don’t want to drive, or can’t, might consider cities to be the obvious place to live, since they are more walkable, offering easy access to transit, shopping, health care and greenspace. Making cities better places to live for an aging population is a worldwide concern. Not only does taking care of an aging population help to foster the fair and equal treatment of all citizens, but retirees are also important economic contributors in our communities, buying goods and services that help to keep others employed. Furthermore, the aging population has a wealth of knowledge and skills that the younger populations should be tapping into. Keeping the aging population healthy also means lower health costs overall.

Up your alley: revisioning Vancouver downtown laneways Downtown laneways are getting a

MORE STORIES ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

makeover. If you’re used to thinking of laneways as dark, dingy paths that you would rather avoid walking down at night, then you may want to check in with what’s happening with laneways today. The City of Vancouver is encouraging builders to make downtown laneways more pedestrian friendly. Case in point: the new Telus Garden office and residential development, located in the 500-block of West Georgia St., is making the adjacent laneway a more pleasant place to be. Once this development is complete, the laneway will be much more than a space for delivery trucks; instead, it will feature retail space and an art lantern installation. The idea of rethinking laneways as retail space seems a natural extension of their being repurposed for housing throughout the city. Since 2009, close to 2,000 laneway houses have been approved,

a number which is certain to increase steadily, as Vancouver searches for more room in which to house its ever-growing population.

Urban rooftop gardens: sustainability is looking up As the interest in living local continues to rise, urban dwellers are looking for a new space to grow food. Enter the rooftop garden. Also known as “green roofs,” these are located at the top of a house or a building that is protected with a waterproof barrier, and they are cropping up in cities across North America. Not only does a green roof have the potential to beautify an often overlooked space and to produce food that the inhabitants of the building can consume, but green roofs can also minimize the effect of rain runoff, such as flooding or even water supply contamination. On top of this, urban gardens filter out pollution, purifying the air, and they keep the roof warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which moderates the amount of energy necessary to maintain the temperature indoors.

Arouse your inner designer at the

VANCOUVER HOME + DESIGN SHOW 2015

By Michelle Hopkins

THE MUCH ANTICIPATED Vancouver Home + Design Show 2015 at Vancouver Convention Centre West returns bigger and better. Every year, the show draws tens of thousands of visitors. Most attend to gather inspiration and learn about the newest fall trends in home décor and renovation from interior design gurus such as co-host of W Network’s Love it or List it Vancouver Jillian Harris, and hundreds of the industry’s finest Canadian renovation, decoration and landscaping specialists.

Whether you are revamping your kitchen, downsizing or switching up your home décor, this year’s show will enthuse and arouse your inner designer.

“The Vancouver Home + Design Show is gearing up for another stellar season,” says Tyson Kidd, show director.

“Not to be missed is the return of Game of Homes Vancouver judge Cheryl Torrenueva, as well as a special 68 YPNEXTHOME.CA

one-time-only appearance of Samantha Pynn from HGTVs Open House Overhaul.”

One of the biggest trends at this year’s show can be summed up in one word—texture, texture, texture—whether it be in your furniture, accessories, landscaping, wall paint or flooring, texture is by far the biggest craze to hit our shores.

“Add texture to any space and any piece in or around your home,” says Kidd. “Finding a wallpaper, blanket, area rug or throw pillow that you can’t stop touching is one of the most satisfying additions to your space.”

The Vancouver Home + Design Show 2015 runs from October 22 to the 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. For more information or to purchase tickets to this year’s show, visit www.vancouverhomeanddesignshow.com or call 604.639.2288.

New Home Guide asked three guest speakers to provide us with what’s trending right now: » TV interior stylist Janette Ewen and designer/fabricator Jef Hancock, founders of Parker Barrow and cheeky-chic décor aficionados: » Fall and spring 2016 is about bringing a few Miami Beach pops into your décor, whether on a throw, pillows, accessories or on an accent wall. Liven up your space with “winks” of teal and blue. “These Miami Beach hues were inspired by the colours of Morocco and Greece, and work especially well with mid-century modern décor. We also will see more concrete grey in homes.” » Add whimsical/playful accessories to create a cozy feel.

Think everything from floating brightly coloured balls hanging from the ceiling to an oversized wing sculpture,

» »

»

to an old rotary phone and large candelabras. Use your imagination and rethink how an item can be repurposed.

When adding conversation pieces play with scale. A hot pink accent wall might seem a bold move, but it works wonders when paired with warm rose gold metallics and generoussized shapes. “The pink rooms, walls and furniture that we are seeing now are revisiting the Golden Girls era but with more of a Santa Fe feel to it.”

Brushed warm metallics, whether they are gold or bronze fixtures or a copper hood fan, add personality to your home.

Fabrics and prints. A wallpapered ceiling or bold geometric accessory can easily take a space from drab to fab.

Example: Lattice wallpapers with large lobster or shark prints are in vogue. “Actress Elisha Cuthbert (of the series 24 ) recently put our lobster print wallpaper in her PEI bathroom,” says Ewen.

Layering shades of white anywhere in your home is still red hot.

OCT 2 - OCT 16, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE 69

» Incorporating a few edgy industrial elements blend history and hipness even to modern decor. Think Edison-style light bulbs, industrial lamps, trunks or card catalogues. » Ornate double doors at the entrance can be “your calling card to your home.” OR loft or barn-type doors with sliding mounting tracks give separation to an open concept design. » Carpets in large geometric patterns.

Christina Dennis, blogger at The DIY Mommy, winner of the show’s Western Canada’s Next Home Stylist competition: » Move over stainless steel! Mixed metals, such as warm tones of chrome, burnished copper and hammered bronze, are the must-have metals. You can include mixed metals into your hardware, accessories and light fixtures. “Brass or copper sinks lend an air of elegance to your kitchen.” » Black or dark-coloured walls in Marseille hues such as burgundy or oxblood. “Where we went for light, bright colours on accent walls in recent years, we are now seeing deep, rich coloured walls.” » Pillows in burlap, leather, faux fur or with words and quotes are easy and inexpensive ways to change your décor for the new season. » Rugs are always in style. “I made a faux cowhide rug from fabric I found online.” » Mixing up vintage with industrial has been trending for a couple of years now and it doesn’t seem to be going out of style anytime soon. » Old doors can be painted, distressed and made into tabletops, frames or pieces of artwork.

70 YPNEXTHOME.CA

In the end, it’s all about letting your personality shine through: All the designers agree on one thing: If a trend doesn’t reflect your personal style or resonate with your lifestyle, don’t follow it.

Your home décor should be an extension of your individuality.
