VANCOUVER’S HOUSING MARKET has certainly felt its fair share of house price pains. It has claimed its spot among the world’s most expensive housing markets, and certainly tops that list in Canada. To curb price growth, policies were put into effect, including mortgage rule changes and a foreign buyers’ tax. These have had some impact, and only time will tell the full outcome. In the meantime, demand continues to outpace supply. Something’s gotta give. The solution, some say, involves re-thinking the definition of “home.” Vancouver’s exceptional housing market has made it the logical subject to explore new housing types. Condos have long dominated the city skyline, and now, new forms of high-density lowrise are beginning to take shape at every turn. Stacked and back-to-back townhomes, and laneway houses have been well-received in Vancouver as a form of “gentle density,” says Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association. “Laneway homes in particular have been very popular in the City of Vancouver proper, and now are beginning to roll out to the surrounding suburbs as land prices continue to climb.” Gentle densification, de Wit explains, provides family-friendly groundoriented housing to buyers who cannot afford that traditional single-detached home. By the way, according to the latest resale stats from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, the average single-detached house now costs $1,474,200. “For most purchasers, I would think, the price and locational advantages outweigh the party-wall issues,” he adds. So, what now? “A great next step will be when cities begin to stratify and/or change tenure arrangements so that homeowners can transfer ownership of laneway homes or carriage houses,” de Wit says. “That’ll open up wholly new opportunities for families to gain access to certain neighbourhoods.”
KITSILANO
Although Kitsilano retains some of its hippie history, the neighbourhood has been gentrified over the years. The bulk of Kitsilano’s population is made up of singles and couples without children, but Kits’ grass-roots atmosphere makes it family-friendly, too – for families that can afford the tony housing prices here.

Platform Transformational living THIS IS IT, the opportunity you’ve been
waiting for to celebrate life in the vibrant and rapidly evolving downtown Port Moody neighbourhood. This is a community that’s known for its rich cultural and artistic connections and enviable outdoor lifestyle. And now you can be part of it all. Introducing Platform – a collection of 104 innovative, creative and dynamic homes located at Clarke and Moody Street, poised to redefine convenience. Here, you can just zip across the street, hop on the SkyTrain, and arrive in Vancouver in 38 minutes — only 28 if you prefer riding the rails of the Westcoast Express. You can also enjoy a bridgeless commute on four wheels 18 YPNEXTHOME.CA

or two, via the Barnet Highway. After all, choice is good.
Homes to celebrate life Inside, Platform homes will bring all the thoughtful design and signature finishings that are hallmarks of Aragon — including a full-height, reclaimed red brick feature wall. Flooring has the rich, warm ambiance of engineered hardwood flooring, there’s a linear fireplace for romantic evenings, and in summer, Sunscreen roller blinds will help keep you cool and comfy. Kitchens are thoughtfully created with flat-panel matte lacquer doors and black accented hardware. Quartz countertops with waterfall gable, full-height tile

backsplash and an appliance package that includes a Fisher & Paykel fridge with bottom freezer, as well as a Bosch dishwasher, wall oven and gas cooktop are sure to inspire your culinary artistry. When you’re ready for some selfindulgence, Platform’s bathrooms are sure to please with Brizo soaker tubs, frameless glass showers, and custom medicine cabinets to tuck accessories out of sight. The range of floor plans has something for everyone. Platform’s six-storey midrise will offer 86 homes ranging from studios to stylish, three-bedroom with 1,300 sq. ft. Ideal for families and downsizers, are 12 stacked townhomes with private rooftop decks and up to 1,570 sq. ft., intelligently designed to make entertaining and daily living a delight.
Particularly intriguing are the two styles of ground-level homes you’ll find at Platform. In addition to 12 garden studios offering 560 sq. ft. of open living space, six live/work spaces are already capturing the hearts of creatives like fashion designers, graphic artists and high tech innovators. “The live/work homes are a direct response to Port Moody’s deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit and culture,” explains Ameet Johal, Aragon’s director of sales and marketing. She adds that kitchens and living rooms will be designed to allow for soaring 20-ft. ceilings in the work area. “Entrepreneurs and artists can now see themselves working efficiently right in the comfort of their own home,” Johal adds.
Already gaining fame among craft beer aficionados, Brewery Row is just steps from your front door — four microbreweries (Moody Ales, Yellow Dog, Parkside Brewing and Twin Sails) and more anticipated in the future. Hungry? No problem. Everything from bakeries and ice cream parlors to fine dining at The Boathouse Restaurant, or chowing down on some of the best fish’n’chips found anywhere in the Lower Mainland at Pajo’s are just a few of the options that await exploration. With spring finally here, most people head to the recently revamped Rocky Point Park, where there’s lots to engage people of all ages: 29 kilometres of walking and cycling trails, a water spray park, outdoor swimming pool, skateboard park, boat launch and kayak rentals. In summer, you can also watch local painters in action as they set up their easels for Artists in the Park.
Experience it for yourself In the next several weeks, Platform’s presentation gallery and display suite will be unveiled. To be among the first to preview this exciting new community that’s coming soon to Clarke and Moody Street in downtown Port Moody, register today at aragon.ca/platform.

Sun Towers Celebrate the Metrotown lifestyle COMING SOON TO METROTOWN, Sun Towers is poised to raise the bar on luxury living in Burnaby. Located on Beresford Street just 40 metres from the newly refurbished Metrotown SkyTrain Station and directly across from the retail delights of Metropolis Mall, Sun Towers will complete Burnaby’s Golden Row — five elegant, distinctly cosmopolitan towers situated side-by-side along The Beresford Art Walk.
Enviable neighbourhood One of Metro Vancouver’s new urban centres, there’s a dynamic energy here. Shopping, dining, schools and entertainment venues are, literally, just steps from your front door. Central Park is barely two blocks away, and whether you prefer two feet or two wheels, the BC Parkway awaits exploration. 24 YPNEXTHOME.CA
Of course, you can always stay home and savour the delights found at The Solaris Club. This exclusive residents’ amenity spans three levels and will offer a 60-ft. pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, regulation size badminton court, indoor golf, games area, music room and quiet study room. Or step outdoors in the 6,700-sq.-ft. Sky Garden featuring children’s play area, ping-pong, outdoor kitchen and dining, a fire pit and a sculpture garden. Sure to be a hit with residents juggling busy schedules, Sun Towers’ concierge will help simplify your life, make you feel like a true VIP, and happily arrange some of the many programs that will be offered — think personal trainer, private chef, yoga instruction, pet grooming and car detailing, and you’ll start to get the picture. For working parents, there’s even an on-site day care.
Elegant by design Inside, Sun Towers provides classic elegance. Kitchens are a showcase of cutting-edge efficiency and technology — Bosch appliances integrate seamlessly with custom, Germanmade Nobilia cabinetry and full-slab marble backsplashes. Ensuites are for pampering your soul as well as your body, featuring oversized floor and wall tiles in Carrera marble, floating vanities, and frameless glass showers. And just in case you need a few more incentives, air conditioning, roller blinds and bike lockers are standard. Sun Towers offers 285 homes ranging from one- to threebedroom. Sales started in April, so be sure to register now at SunTowersMetrotown.com.

Advice
How to choose the “right” condo By Bob de Wit
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice SEARCHING FOR THE “RIGHT” CONDO OR TOWNHOUSE can feel like a daunting
task, with development booming across Metro Vancouver. Along with deciding factors such as location and price, it makes sense to look beyond the unit and research the development itself. It’s easy to forget about some of the essentials, when you’re busy being wowed by the flashy sales centre.
Things to consider: • Age of the building: If you are not purchasing a new unit, make sure you know the age of the building, as there may be existing warranties. BC Housing’s 2-5-10 New Home Warranty is offered on all new buildings, and stays with the unit even if there is a transfer of ownership, within the warranty timeframes of 2-5-10 years. For details go to bchousing.org • Building amenities: Think about your lifestyle, not just today, but five or 10 years down the road. It can seem exciting to think you can pop downstairs to partake in a yoga class or share the views from a communal patio deck and barbecue, but you will be responsible for the upkeep through strata fees. Although they are a lifestyle bonus, be sure these extras are something worth paying for in your long-term plan. • Community: Look at the complex as a whole development, versus a particular unit. Each complex is designed to attract 34 YPNEXTHOME.CA
a certain type of buyer, resulting in a relatively instant community. Amenities and the connections to the community around the complex will give you a good idea if this will be the right community for you. Bike paths linking you to neighbouring parks, or direct access to transit hubs will attract different buyers with different needs and lifestyles. • The builder: It’s definitely a good idea to check a builder’s credentials. Do your due diligence. Google-search their name. Speak with residents from past developments. This is particularly important if you’re purchasing pre-sale without the ability to see the finished product. And check to see if the builder has won any industry awards. The Ovation Awards, Metro Vancouver’s local awards program is an institution consumers can trust. Highlighting
the best in new-home construction, renovation and design, the 2017 finalists were recently announced and can be viewed at ovationawards.ca/finalists. This year, the public is invited to cast a vote for the Best Residential Community with Shaw Peoples’ Choice Ovation Award. Check out the four 2017 entries and cast your vote from now through April 17 at Shaw.ca/ovation/. The 2017 winners will be announced on April 29 at the Ovation Awards Gala.

10 tips to put your tax refund to work By Alisa Aragon
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
IF YOU HAVEN’T FILED your 2016
income taxes already, time’s a-wasting. Meanwhile, those who have already received their refund are probably planning on how to spend it. In general, it can be a real challenge to spend our money wisely – especially tax refunds, which may seem like free money. While it is tempting to spend it on something “fun,” every astute financial planner, adviser, broker or financial journalist will tell you that you should not aim at getting a large refund. By definition, a tax return means you are giving the government an interestfree loan. If you want to get less in a refund, you should reduce the amount of money the government withholds from your pay cheque. To do so, you can increase the number of exemptions you claim. It’s usually smarter to save the extra money all year long and earn interest for yourself. While it is very tempting to use your tax refund on things such as a vacation, put a down payment on a new car or a big screen TV, there are many other ways to generate future value and accelerate your progress to financial freedom. » Contribute to your RRSPs. Not only will you make that money tax free, 52 YPNEXTHOME.CA
you can use up to $25,000 of your RRSPs toward a down payment as a first time homebuyer. As long as you put back 1/15 of the funds that you withdraw back every year you will not pay taxes on that money. » Start saving for a down payment for an investment property. By choosing the right property, the rental revenue will cover your mortgage payments and your equity will increase month after month. » Make a lump sum payment on your mortgage. This is a great opportunity to pay down your mortgage fast by making a lump sum payment. By doing so you will reduce the amount you pay in interest as your payment will go directly towards the outstanding principal. While you mortgage payments will remain the same, you will be closer in paying off your mortgage faster.
debt can counteract those efforts. By using your refund to lower your debt you can start putting more money in savings. » Start a contingency fund. If you don’t have one, start a contingency fund or add more money to the one you already have. Realistically, you should have at least 3 months of your pay cheque saved. It can take a while to save but your refund can help you get there. You will be glad to have that money available when the unexpected happens. » Start your own business. Have you been thinking of starting your own business? Your refund can help you jump-start your plans. A little extra cash is a great way to get your new venture moving in the right direction.

When Ikhbal & Bilkiz took their first serious look at Sync, everything came together in an instant.
PERHAPS IT WAS THE RED FRONT DOOR. Maybe it was the park just across the street.
attention to it before.” Then one spring afternoon as they were about to head home after a visit, the couple realized that their next home could be the one just on the other side of the road. “We’d already sold our house and had only been considering another single-family home,” Bilkiz says with a twinkle in her eye. “It was our realtor who suggested we should at least look at townhouses. After all, if we were going to spend the same amount on a resale house in South Surrey, why not buy a brand new home here at Sync?” That was on a Friday, the day that Sync’s presentation centre happened to be closed. But a peek through the window convinced the couple to return first thing Saturday morning. “When we walked in, I said to my husband ‘this is my home’.” Ikhbal and Bilkiz made an offer on a three-bedroom unit that was ready for immediate occupancy. There was just one glitch – only minutes before, another buyer had signed a contract on the same home. In an almost unbelievable turn of fate, at the same time one of the sought-after corner homes had become available. Within an hour, that second property was sporting a bold, red “sold” sign. Ikhbal and Bilkiz were officially the proud owners of a brand new, threelevel townhome. They moved in about a month later. “This is such a nice neighbourhood and we’ve made so many friends in the year we’ve lived here,” Bilkiz smiles. “I believe that when you find a home you love, just buy it.”
But one thing’s undeniable: when Ikhbal and Bilkiz took their first serious look at Sync, everything came together in an instant. “Both our sons had moved out, so it was just the two of us in a big house,” Bilkiz says. “Ikhbal’s nephew lives across the street from Sync, but we’d never really paid

Neighbourhood Profile | KITSILANO
Kitsilano By Diane Duflot
KITSILANO, OR “KITS” as it’s known to Vancouverites, is situated in Vancouver’s West Side on the south of English Bay, sandwiched between Fairview and Point Grey hoods on the east and west. This prime location offers the best of the Vancouver lifestyle: excellent shopping and night life, as well all the water sports you can handle at.
Lifestyle: Kits is the place to be for the young and the young at heart: nearly half of
66 YPNEXTHOME.CA
the population here falls into the 20 to 39 age range, but the next highest population demographic is the 40 to 64 group, who make up nearly a third of Kits residents. The vibe: Bring your Lulus and surfboard. Kitsilano typifies the active Vancouver lifestyle, so the nearest yoga or Pilates studios aren’t far away. The summer brings crowds to the beach in search of fun in the sun: tennis, volleyball,
paddle-boarding and surfing are just a few of the outdoor sports that keep people moving at Kits Beach. Meet the neighbours: Although Kitsilano retains some of its hippie history, the neighbourhood has been gentrified over the years. The bulk of Kitsilano’s population is made up of singles and couples without children, but Kits’ grass-roots atmosphere makes it family-friendly, too – for families that can afford the tony housing prices here.
Kits is an easy commute to downtown and to UBC, making it popular with young urban professionals and students.
Hot Spots Kidsbooks A specialty bookstore made just for kids! This store has a huge selection of youth novels and of course the all the classic children’s books you read as a kid.
In the area: The main attraction in Kitsilano is Kits beach, which attracts droves of tourists and locals alike all summer long. Nature and exercise lovers are sure to find their fix in Kits’ abundance of outdoor activities and range of fitness classes. A variety of ethnic groceries and fantastic eateries make this an ideal locale for foodies to boot. Planes, trains and automobiles: TransLink is readily accessible in Kitsilano, and bike lanes abound. It’s easy to get to, from and around Kits by car, but parking can be difficult because of residential parking restrictions on most side streets. An easy way to avoid this is to try one of the car shares currently available in Vancouver, since many of these offer designated parking spots.
Harvest Deli If you’re in the mood for some great deli cuisine, this is the place to go. The ingredients are always fresh, making each bite of that meaty sandwich so flavourful.
Lotusland Electronics & Music

Quick Facts
Street Corner “Kitsilano is the definition multicultural. There are some many different people from all over the world around here. There are professional couples, young families. There are people living well beyond their means!” – Philip du Moulin, host of Urban Suburban “Throughout Kitsilano, you’ve pretty much got it all. It’s a beautiful place to live, shop and work.” – Sarah Daniels, host of Urban Suburban
Kitsilano’s Farmer’s Market With the Kitsilano’s Farmer’s Market, it’s never been easier to buy the freshest local fruits and veggies. While it’s not the biggest market, it is still a charming place to walk around and explore! APR 14 - 28, 2017 | NEW HOME & CONDO GUIDE 67
Advice | CONDO SENSE
Presentation centre prep: 5 questions you’ll want to ask By Cameron McNeill
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
A VISIT TO THE PRESENTATION CENTRE
can tip the scales in favour of one new development over another. The sales representatives are there to provide details of the new community. This can include viewing the building model where the project is located, learning about the neighbourhood, and walking through the display suite to get a feel for layout, features and finishings. The representative will provide a brochure about the project with detailed floor plans for you to take home and review. Beyond all this, here are some questions you should ask: » What’s included in the base price? As you’re touring the display suite, find out what features are included in the purchase price and what’s considered an “upgrade,” so you can factor this into your decision and budget. Ask about the building’s parking, bike lockers, storage and/or car-share programs, all the features of the home, construction questions, and anything else that is important to you in your buying decision. » What colour schemes are available? One of the benefits of pre-sale projects is that you can choose the colour coordination of your home. Most new developments, depending on how far out the project is to completion, will allow buyers to choose from two or three colour schemes for their home, which have been pre-determined by an interior designer with consideration for cabinet colour, flooring and/or wall paint.

home. You can then factor in the monthly strata fee to your home finances.
» When is construction and completion expected, and what’s the deposit schedule? Average construction time for new developments is two to three years. The benefit of pre-sale is that it allows homebuyers time to plan comfortably for their new home, save money before completion, and pay off their deposit based on the terms outlined by the developer. Most pre-sale projects will require between 15 and 20 per cent of the total deposit paid in segments, so make sure you are comfortable with the schedule and amount.
» What units are available and where are they located? Find out what floor plans are available, including number of bedrooms/baths, the floor number, the views and orientation (north, east, south or west), even which side of your unit sees the sun rise and set. The sales representative can walk you through the homes available, based on your preferences. Bring someone with you to the presentation centre to share in the experience and help with your decisionmaking process. Plus, with two or more people, you can be sure to ask all the necessary questions to get a complete understanding of the pre-sale process and all the great home features.
» What is the strata fee and are there any amenities included? The sales representative will let you know the estimated average price per square foot and what is included such as utilities, air conditioning and building amenities. These facilities can provide added value in your home and may save you money on a fitness membership, if included in your
