editor’s note

What rules your new-home choice?

Lifestyle increasingly influential for buyers

N

ew-home buyers are often driven by different influences, but there’s no doubt lifestyle is an increasingly important factor. Whether you’re considering a home near the beach, a golf course or a city penthouse or pied-à-terre, you’re likely looking to compensate for what you don’t have in your current residence.

The amount of living space is usually the issue – either too much or too little. Most young families are looking for more living space, which is why builders are designing homes with interiors that maximize every square foot of living space to make the most of your money.

As we get older, the quest for living space may take a different direction. Downsizing is usually the answer, although many homeowners with existing homes in suburban or rural areas are acquiring townhomes or pied-à-terres in the city. An urban location gives owners and their friends a chance to enjoy the social and cultural activities of the city without having to drive for hours to get home.

In today’s hectic world, your new home will be your retreat, so it’s important to find is to find a home that suits your needs and lifestyle. In this issue, we profile new communities which offer the perfect place to put up your feet, plus the latest industry news and features about buying and owning a new home.

Enjoy!

On the new home market?

Good for you

S

o you’re on the market for a new home? Well, there are some of the advantages to buying new, such as: • New Home Warranty — New-home warranties usually cover defects in materials and construction, and coverage may extend to major structural defects and building code violations.

• Modern construction — As a new-home buyer, you’ll get a home built with the most current advances in construction technology.

• Materials — You’ll know what you’re getting in terms of construction materials.

• Efficiency — Your new home will meet the most current standards for energy efficiency, and this will save you money over the long haul.

• It’s new! — Perhaps the most obvious advantage: you won’t have to deal with a previous owner’s wear and tear on your appliances, your floors and your walls. Your house will be brand-spanking new, and yours to make your own, from scratch!

Modern luxury in a rural setting “Although the craftsman-style exteriors of these homes are in harmony with this heritage locale, the interiors are all modern comfort and convenience,” according to Ryan. Oversized main entry doors, large windows that let in plenty of light and ten-foot ceilings on the main level all contribute to a feeling of expansion.

Open floorplans with a social kitchen opening onto an eating area and great room further add to this feeling of spaciousness.

Not only do these homes offer all of these modern luxuries, but Epic Homes is also offering a little something extra for techsavvy homeshoppers: the option to install full home automaton systems.

It doesn’t get much more modern than that!

A place and a

space for everything by hellen buttigieg Whether you have a sprawling home with plenty of room or a cozy place that has little in the way of extra space, you need to create a system so that your home functions in a manner that accommodates your lifestyle needs. And whether you live large or small, chances are there’s a favourite spot in your home that sees more than its fair share of action. It’s a corner of the sofa you curl up in, or a spot at the breakfast counter that has a pile of things you want to get to “when you have a minute” which could use a little bit of help. Without designated spaces, you’re forever tucking things away that don’t have a real home — and wasting far too much time trying to remember where to retrieve them. Develop a place for each activity you do, and a space to keep those items that go with it to add some organization to your home — and your life!

Affordable and Gorgeous!

You get it all!

Albion Station melds the best of an urban lifestyle with the best that nature has to offer.

Once in a while a new townhome development, which combines the best of urban and rural living, delivers everything it promises and more!

Albion Station is just that … as one of the most exciting Boutique Developments to be built in Maple Ridge, the buzz is growing.

Inspired by West coast architecture, Albion Station offers contemporary sophistication; making it a unique opportunity for buyers to get in on a collection of finely crafted homes starting at $264,900 — less than many condos. This limited selection of 159 townhomes features two and three bedroom residences.

With nearly two decades of excellence in the industry, Platinum Group of Companies — the award-winning and Power Smart builder of numerous masterplanned communities — designed Albion Station.

The contemporary, open-concept homes, ranging from 1,144 sq ft to 1385 sq ft, feature laminate hardwood flooring on the main level, oversized windows to let in lots of natural sunlight, nine-foot ceilings and generous decks to enjoy the sunsets and views.

Many buyers are surprised by how many extras come standard in some of the three-bedroom homes at Albion Station: “Many homes come with a built-in dining room server, a built-in computer workstation and a walk-in rain shower, all of which are usually upgrades!” says Luana Matteazzi, sales manager for the project. “This exclusive collection of homes is superbly designed and crafted … it’s really just simply a matter of quality.”

Each residence is beautifully appointed with an exceptionally elegant kitchen — truly a chef’s dream. All are equipped with stainless steel appliances, imported stain and scratch resistant Quartz countertops with designer tile back splash, Maple Shaker soft close cabinetry and warm, stylish high end roller shades throughout.

Don’t feel like cooking? Then warm up with a favourite read by the living room’s linear energy-efficient electric fireplace with polished porcelain tile, or immerse yourself in the deluxe, spa-inspired, extra-deep soaker tub in the wellappointed bathroom.

20 metro vancouver new home guide | november 1 - 15, 2013

“ Many homes come with a built-in dining room server, a built-in computer workstation and a walk-in rain shower, all of which are usually upgrades!”

— Luana Matteazzi, sales manager This prime Maple Ridge location offers plenty of amenities, with easy access to Lougheed Highway and a quick jaunt to the Westcoast Express. Albion Station is adjacent to Albion Elementary School and numerous recreational opportunities, all within easy walking or driving distance. For those who love unique shopping, dining or waking and cycling trails, Albion Station is the right address. Come and experience the captivating charm of Maple Ridge — a vibrant city with many great outdoor adventures to discover, such as Rieboldt Park, Belle Morse Park and Thomas

Haney Park all within driving distance.

“Maple Ridge is also home to fabulous festivals, farmer’s markets, golf tournaments, and oodles of family fun,” adds Matteazzi.

This is your opportunity to live in a new home that melds the best of urban life with the best that nature has to offer, all for a price that will make you smile. The presentation centre is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily (except Fridays). Albion Station is located at 10151 240 St, Maple Ridge.

Jaeyoung at Fremont Blue Watching family grow

by Diane duflot

Jaeyoung Kim, his wife and two young children moved into a two-bedroom-andden townhome at Fremont Blue’s first phase in mid-August. The family was first attracted to the masterplanned community due to Mosaic’s Homes excellent reputation, but the project’s location, well-designed interiors and wellthought-out floorplans sealed the deal.

The view from here “The first time I saw the showhome,” says Jae, “I knew Fremont Blue was perfect for me.

There’s a quiet space for me to work in the den beside the garage. The second floor has two bedrooms as well as two bathrooms, and there’s a third full bathroom on the main floor.” A particular boon to Jae is that he’ll be able to watch his two children (now eight months and two years old) play outside as they grow older: “Every room had big windows, so we can see the backyard and playground throughout the house.”

Not only will Jae’s home grant him a view of his children playing outside in future years, but he’s thrilled about the broader vistas that he has from here, saying, “I can see the both the mountains and the river from my new home!”

Well situated After having lived in Burke Mountain, he is pleased to be on flat land by the river in Port Coquitlam, because, as he says, “being on the mountain meant a lot of up and down. It’s so much easier getting around and playing with young children on flat land.” There’s also the bonus of a nearby bike trail, perfect for Jae, who likes to “ride my bike for fun and exercise.” On top of this, “It’s only a 20 minute commute from here to work in Maple Ridge,” he points out. Jae is also “happy to be close to all the shopping nearby, including a Costco and a Walmart within walking distance.”

The Fremont Riverclub is another bonus for Jae, who is sure that his family will find exercise and entertainment there for years after it’s built in 2015. This 12,500 sq. ft. amenity space for the use of Fremont residents will house a swimming pool, Ping-Ping table, an indoor basketball court and a fitness area, as well as a Great Room, the perfect space to retreat for a board game or a good read.

BCREA: BC Home Sales on Upward Trajectory The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 6,498 residential sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in BC during September, up 43.2 per cent from September 2012. Total sales dollar volume was 55.7 per cent higher than a year ago at $3.49 billion. The average MLS residential price in the province was $537,458, up 8.8 per cent from September 2012.

“Consumer demand for housing in September was the strongest in four years,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA Chief Economist. “After declining for most of 2012, BC home sales have increased now for seven consecutive months.”

“While a return to a more normal level of demand is good news for buyers and sellers, relatively weak economic conditions and muted provincial job growth will likely limit continued acceleration of home sales over the next few quarters,” added Muir.

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume was up 5.7 per cent to $30 billion, compared to the same period last year. Residential unit sales were up 3.1 per cent to 56,347 units, while the average MLS® residential price was up 2.6 per cent at $532,745.

BEYOND THE BASICS

5

designer essentials

the bare Edison style bulb. This touch of industrial style plays well against traditional or modern furnishings because of the raw, elemental nature of the exposed filament.

2 MULTI-TASK MASTERS › An absolute staple I’ve returned to again and again for many clients and many designs, simple stools can function as side tables, extra seats, or cocktail tables (especially when clustered

by YANIC SIMARD together), and tuck away or move easily to suit so many uses. If you see a form your love, reaching 16”-18” in height, ask a store associate if it can act as both.

THERE ARE SOME FURNISHING BASICS EVERY › Hard stools are great if you prioritize the table space (pulled space needs, that we all see every day: comfortable chairs, room- up to seats to hold a drink), and soft stools make for plusher brightening lamps, desks for perching that laptop or good book, seating (but can still hold a serving tray). Either way, use this beautiful art dressing the walls. As a designer, it’s my job to see as a chance to add a new texture, like faux fur, cowhide, rich beyond the basics, and look to pieces that don’t just serve an wood, or natural stone. obvious function, but solve each client’s specific design dilemmas while adding true beauty, and a sense of surprise. When you really open your eyes — and know where to look — you can find unexpected answers to design questions and take your space to a whole new standard of living.

The next time you’re shopping for some must-haves, bring my essential guide to going beyond the basics: 1 LIGHTEN UP › Adding layers of light to a room is key to beautiful design: harsh shadows from one lonely lamp drag down any decor, so you should always include as many types of lighting as possible (sconces, floor lamps, table lights, pendants, etc).

However, the lighting source doesn’t have to be strictly functional. Consider choosing a piece that make it’s own statement — after all, it’ll be under the spotlight. › Simple white shades are timeless (the modern trend being non-tapered cylinders and squares), but even more trendy is

40

great look, but don’t be afraid of asymmetry (and different periods) — the best groupings include some variety to suit all different seating situations. › Upholstered furniture does not have to use the same material on the front and back, which gives you another great chance to embrace a high impact look in a smaller dose. A bold fabric or fi nish on just one side gives a touch of drama without sacrificing any practicality.

Then use accent pillows in a relating fabric to connect it back to your sofa for harmony.

3 HIT THE BENCH › Often associated with pianos or parks, the humble bench is a powerful piece of seating. I like to use one in long or awkward floor plans for its ability to connect spaces. In a room too big for one seating group, break the space into multiple areas with a bench in the middle to serve both seating groups. It creates a visual line, while serving double duty. › A bench also makes a stylish seat for your dining table (just stick to a two-seater so nobody is trapped in the middle), or an extra cocktail table option for Standing Room Only occasions.

4 GET SEATED: › While most homes will have a standby sofa or sectional for everyday lounging, don’t underestimate the value of a full-sized, single seat chair. You’ll want something that will cocoon you when you just need some alone time. A pair of matching sofas can be a

5 LOOKING BACK › A mirror is often thought of as a fashion accessory — one full length in the bedroom for getting dressed, and one in the foyer for a quick headingout-the-door check. However, mirrors are bigger than ever as a decor accessory that, besides doubling the visual space, can bring beauty all their own. Antique mirrors, with natural (or applied) patina, bring a very on-trend touch of old world glam to a space. › I recently designed a custom aged glass mirror for a client, but you can simulate this look with a fun DIY project by picking up a stripping or antiquing kit, some gold spray paint, and a budget mirror. Make sure to read the directions carefully (and wear protective gear), and once the antiquing is finished a few tiny spurts of the spray paint will give it an extra level of dimension.

Now that you’ve got some great new ideas for next-level must-haves, you should be ready to take your decor from simply practical to reaching its full potential. And if you’re worried about mixing the pieces together, you’ve got a good start to that, too — all of these pieces can work together to start your cool new home look.

ADD TO THIS: › A sleek Calvin Klein Home sofa › Minam.com’s cool Market Shelf ladder-style shelving unit › An area rug that anchors the entire furniture group (try Restoration Hardware for a traditional woven style, or Pampa Leather for a rich leather patchwork) You’ll be well on your way to a total design solution. Now keep your eyes open, and look beyond the basics!

The Grove at Cambridge Come See What’s Cooking

by Susan m Boyce It’s a sunny Saturday, and here at The Grove at Cambridge, three tousle-haired boys are racing through the central mews-style courtyard in a lively game of “man hunt” tag. Window boxes are filled with potted plants, front doors are bright blue and the scent of freshbaked cookies wafts through the presentation centre. It all adds up to an irresistible feeling of welcome: a sense of coming home.

Dazzling Details The Grove at Cambridge is collaboration between the husband and wife team of Hans and Noelle Rawlins — he builds, she designs, and the company is named GrayRose Homes after the middle names of their two children. It’s just the first hint of how family-centric this community really is… well, okay, it’s the second hint after the cookies.

Today it’s Noelle who’s showing me around and, naturally, our first stop is the kitchen. Big, bright and totally ready for entertaining, there’s a microwave intelligently located below the white quartz counter, an innovative track light system that runs from the working area all the way to an oversized, linen-shade pendant above the dining table and a cool feature I haven’t seen before — a built-in magazine rack at one end of the centre island. On one drawer there’s a sign: “Dare to Slam a Door or Drawer” — so much more fun than just saying everything is soft-close.

In the master ensuite upstairs, Noelle points out the vanity’s two make-up drawers above an open towel shelf.

“Lucky you! A Custom Shelf in every Master Bath” proclaims another sign and I can’t resist laughing out loud at the sheer whimsy.

We check out a second bedroom creatively finished with full chalkboard walls and a third decked out as a man cave with TV and mini bar. “I wanted to show a range of small, innovative things you could do on a modest budget to truly personalize your home,” Noelle explains. “After all, a home is all about day to day living.”

44 metro vancouver new home guide | november 1 - 15, 2013

“ After all, a home is all about day to day living.”

—Noelle Rawlins

Inviting Outdoors And here’s a cool extra. Part of the site’s wooded area has been preserved and enhanced with a walking trail leading to a secret forest hideaway with stump seating. “One of the neighbourhood girls had a birthday party here last week,” Noelle tells me. But I’m thinking it would be the perfect place to savour a home-baked cookie… or two.

The Grove at Cambridge offers just 26, three-bedroom and two-bedroom with den townhomes located at 14905 – 60th Ave. in Surrey. Presentation centre and display homes open every day from noon to 5 p.m.. For more information visit grayrose.ca or call 604.597.7177.

Yorkson South

A step in the right direction by janine mackie

Welcoming, inspiring, heart-warming — the spacious homes at Langley’s Yorkson South offer a comfortable lifestyle on generous lots. Inside, they’re remarkable — appointed with the kind of amenities that make living here so worthwhile. The materials are superb and the craftsmanship is apparent in every detail.

Built by Penta Builders Group, Yorkson South is a premier development of Craftsman-style homes. With extensive experience over 25 years, the builder’s scope of work includes renovations and restorations, high-end custom homes and commercial projects.

Desirable Neighbourhood Close to Langley Event Centre and New Elementary Schools With this newest community, Penta gives homebuyers the opportunity to invest within the up-and-coming Willoughby neighbourhood — an area poised for much growth and already benefitting from improved infrastructure including new elementary schools, commercial space, beautiful parks and enhanced public transportation routes.

“I’m confident that this is Langley’s best community of luxurious yet affordable single family homes,” said Steve Harder, sales and marketing manager. “It’s the kind of place you can be excited to come home to.”

Priced between $627,000 and $775,000 including GST, these homes offer a variety of floorplans ranging from 3005 to 4146 sq.ft. Prices include a fully finished basement, double garage and fully landscaped front and backyard.

Step inside the four-bedroom Dover show home and experience the designer decor and craftsmanship in living colour. Ideal for those who work from home, a den is located just beyond the entrance and a great room replaces the formal living room. All the daily family activities happen 52 metro vancouver new home guide | november 1 - 15, 2013

“ It’s the kind of place you can be excited to come home to.” here — a spectacular setting enhanced with a soaring double-height ceiling open to the upper level.

More than a set of cabinets and doors — the kitchen is the heart of this home. That said, you’re sure to love the shaker style wood cabinetry accented with crown moldings and a delicious menu of features from granite island with integrated eating bar to high-end Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances. Don’t be surprised if Christmas dinner is delegated to your place!

Bright Finished Basements with Large Rec Rooms While there’s plenty of affordable upgrade packages for personal customization, the standard package is luxurious in every way with engineered hardwood, wall-to-wall carpet in bedrooms, gas fireplace with designer surround and quality fixtures including water-saving toilets, contemporary sink basins and polished chrome faucets. It’s the small architectural details like arches, vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom and handsome stairs with handcrafted wood details and iron spindles that make a huge difference in creating a beautiful home.

When you’re out and about, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to meet and greet your neighbours. These are people who share your values, families you’ll grow to know and celebrate with. Your children will make lifelong friends, enjoying memorable experiences and happy times as the years unfold.

Join other families, professional couples and even downsizers who’ve taken the exciting step of making Yorkson South their home. Show home and sales centre open Saturday through Wednesday from 1 to 5 p.m. at 21089 78B Ave. in Langley. More information at yorksonsouth. com or call Steve Harder at 604-533-3491.

RADIUS

Purpose-driven homes let modern families live large

by JANINE MACKIE

PRESTIGE AND FAMILY COMFORT come together in perfect harmony at Radius in Murrayville. While couples sip on their lattes at nearby Porter’s Coffee House and kids dive into the waves at WC Blair Recreation Centre, just down the street a new community of homes is creating a buzz of excitement with its purpose-driven design.

Only 20 single-family homes, on lots ranging from 4000 to 9600 sq.ft., Radius is akin to that special-edition art print, reserved vintage or collector’s edition sports car. Built with precision and inspired by smart design, there’s nothing resembling cookie-cutter construction here.

Each four- and five-bedroom residence spanning 2934 to 3720 sq. ft. is unique both in architectural design and layout. Motivated to meet the wish lists of modern families, Hayer

And move in today you could, with homes ready for immediate occupancy and others nearing completion in early 2014.

Contemporary meets country is the decorative theme; cohesive with the homes’ exteriors painted in heritage colours, and heightened with stone accents, wood trim and front porches. There’s a design package to complement varying tastes whether drawn to crisp whites, rich shades of espresso or traditional red woods.

“We have people coming from nearby acreages who say it’s so refreshing to find a new home with so much space, and others moving up from a townhome that are equally impressed by the craftsmanship and notice the unique design features like quartz countertops, ten-foot ceilings and concrete fireplace surround,” said Klassen.

Most visitors to Radius find themselves lingering longer in the kitchen, a space well-proportioned for all the happenings of a busy family — school lunches prepped on the island, weekend coffee and brunch or hosting the next team party. Elegant and functional, all the essentials are there: walk-in pantry, double bowl sinks and full complement of Kitchen Aid appliances including a gas range.

Whether you choose to go upstairs or down, there’s much living to be had.

Homebuyers appreciate all the flexibility these homes offer. While the basement is furnished as a media and games room, it could easily be converted into a great mortgage helper. Upstairs the loft looks like an inviting spot to do homework or hang out with friends after school, but could also be easily finished as an additional bedroom.

While you’re contemplating which floorplan suits you best, don’t be surprised if your kids have discovered the large enchanting bedrooms or your better half is in the master retreat soaking up a luxurious five-star experience. There are two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired ensuite with an extra-wide soaker tub, frameless-glass shower and private toilet area.

“It’s all about doing things a little bit different and designing a home that lives and feels better.”

—Ken Klassen, sales manager Builders Group is truly a homebuilder dedicated to setting new standards.

“It’s all about doing things a little bit different and designing a home that lives and feels better,” says Sales Manager Ken Klassen.

Dream of living on a private cul-de-sac like the one where you grew up? Check. Or long for a traditional backyard with plenty of room for kids to run and play? Check.

Five homes sold in the fi rst month of opening, and the momentum continues as homebuyers now have the opportunity to tour a beautifully furnished display home. Don’t be surprised if you catch yourself saying, “I could move in today!”

Tips for choosing a

new-home builder

You’ve made your decision — You’re ready

to buy a new home. But with literally thousands of builders of all shapes and sizes to choose from, how do you know which builder is right for you?

Choosing the right builder can be just as important as choosing your new home. When you purchase a home, you also “buy” the company that will build it for you. Their experience, skills and commitment to customer service will play a key role in determining how satisfied you are with your condo and with the whole buying experience.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) offers the following tips on how to find and select a new-home builder that will meet your needs and expectations: To begin your search, check the Homes section of your local newspaper to find out which companies are building in your area, the types of homes they offer and the prices you can expect to pay. (Editor’s note: New Home Guide is a great place to start!) Ask friends, family members and co-workers for names of reputable builders they have dealt with. You can also check the web sites of home building associations or warranty providers.

When you visit a builder, ask how long they have been in business, how many homes or communities they build each year and what kind of background and experience they have.

Make sure the builder belongs to an industry organization and has the licences and registrations re62 metro vancouver new home guide | november 1 - 15, 2013

quired for your province. Ask for reference and contact them to find out if they are satisfied with the homes they bought and the service they received.

Once you have narrowed down your list, visit the builders’ models. Go through each one in detail, carefully noting down what you like and what you don’t. Take your time, and if you feel you don’t know enough about construction, bring someone with you who does.

Read through each builder’s website and other information materials to get a clearer picture of the company and what they have to offer. If possible, request a tour of a work site to look at a community that is currently under construction.

If you’re considering buying in a new development, go on a tour of the community or take a close look at the master plans. Ask yourself if this is the type of community where you could see yourself living or raising a family for years to come.

Always bring a notebook or even a camera with you. Ask as many questions as you can think of, and write down the answers to review later. After all, you’re choosing the place your family will call “home” for the next five, 10 or perhaps many more years.

Take your time, and make sure you make the choice that’s right for you.

Breeze

Welcome to the Club

by Susan m Boyce

“ The West Coast Club at Breeze is going to become the heart and soul of the entire Breeze community.” —Eric Andreasen It was a fun-filled celebration of community and family, just the type of event the folks at Adera love best. And so, on October 19th, new homeowners, friends and family gathered to celebrate the Grand Opening of the West Coast Club at Breeze.

“People have been waiting for this day,” says Eric Andreasen, Adera’s vice president of marketing and sales. “The West Coast Club at Breeze is so much more than just a place for fitness and health, it’s going to become the heart and soul of the entire Breeze community — a private, exclusive club where people can gather to entertain and socialize.”

And what a space it is. Exposed wood beams, soaring two-storey glass walls, as well as the 70 metro vancouver new home guide | november 1 - 15, 2013

sundrenched, outdoor entertainment lounges that have become a treasured Adera signature. Of course, there’s also a full chef’s kitchen, comfy fireside lounge, expansive outdoor deck, fitness area and yoga space where for today’s event, two local homeowners are giving yoga demonstrations — a preview of the lessons they’re planning to offer every week.

“Having community building events like this is so important to the feel of a neighbourhood,” Eric says unable to suppress a smile as he spots an enthusiastic five-yearold who’s charming the other guests and giggling while she gives her own demonstration of Downward Facing Dog. “Think about how often you can live somewhere for years and never meet your neighbours. Here, you can connect with the people around you who have similar interests — whether it’s yoga, skiing, dog-walking, or even classic movies.”

New Homes, New Plans But opening the West Coast Club at Breeze isn’t all that’s going on in this dynamic, South Surrey neighbourhood.

“We’ve also just launched our Cirrus Collection featuring a new release of our most popular floorplans as well our brand new 2014 Current plan — a two bedroom and den,” Eric says, adding that the first Current homes will be available for occupancy at the end of October. “We’re always evolving our plans and this plan is a direct response to things our buyers tell us they want in a home — design features with even more openness on the main floor and bigger ensuites with more spacious showers.” Additionally available are new plans with at-grade front entries, which are very popular with discerning customers wanting something a little different.

Location, Location, Location “This part of South Surrey is always such a sought after neighbourhood because of its proximity to Morgan Crossing,” Eric says. “Everything — from fashion to dining to sports and services, to banks and coffee shops — is right there.

Plus access to the Peace Arch border is a snap for anyone who likes to pop across to Blaine for cheap gas and groceries, and if you do need to get to downtown Vancouver, you can be there in about 45 minutes.”

Most Affordable Certified Home as well as Most Energy Efficient and Sustainable Community at the prestigious 2013 department G Awards sponsored by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – BC Chapter.

“Winning awards like this supports our commitment to having sustainability as part of our core values is something that’s truly worthwhile,” Eric says. “Our homeowners appreciate it too because they feel they’re making a positive contribution and that their homes will maintain their value now and into the future.”

Award Winning Design Like every Adera community, Breeze is proud to be a model of sustainability and eco-friendly design. Earlier this year it received two International Gold Nugget Awards of Merit — one in the Multi-Family Housing Project category, the other in the International Residential Project category. In September, Breeze was also named

MORTGAGE AMOUNT ÷ 1,000 (MORTGAGE AMOUNT $125,000)

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SEE IF YOU’LL QUALIFY FOR A MORTGAGE ON YOUR DREAM HOME

01

Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

02

Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

03

Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04

Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

78 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | NOVEMBER 1 - 15, 2013

05 06

Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow. Divide by 1,000.

Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

07

If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate.

If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
