LYDIA McNUTT SENIOR EDITOR NextHome EMAIL: Lydia.McNutt@ypnexthome.ca TWITTER: @LydiasTweets

When we first began planning NextHome – a rethink of the former New Home & Condo Guide – our team jumped at the opportunity.

Change is part of business, part of life, and increasingly part of the home-buying process.

Indeed, the home hunt has changed.

According to the latest census data, Vancouver continues to be a hot spot, with its rate of population growth exceeding the national growth rate. With almost 2.5 million people now calling Vancouver “home,” the question is, where exactly is home?

Here’s where NextHome steps in. With more than 25 years in the real estate business, we’re still your source for all things “home.” So, what’s changed?

For starters, we have a new name! In line with our new name, we also have a fresh, new look for our articles, which are designed to educate, entertain and inspire the homebuyer.

Changes aside, we remain your onestop shop for the latest and greatest in upcoming highrise and lowrise developments, complemented by local news and national topics that impact your home-buying decision.

There’s lots to take in, so sit back, relax and enjoy. You’re just getting started.

THE PACIFIC

BY GROSVENOR

A TIMELESS ADDITION TO VANCOUVER’S SKYLINE Long one of Vancouver’s best-kept secrets, the established, waterfront neighbourhood surrounding the intersection of Pacific and Hornby Streets is undergoing an evolution. As a new focal point for arts and culture with stunning modern architecture and a host of exciting new retail and amenities, downtown’s bright southern shore is becoming one of the City’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Introducing The Pacific — Grosvenor Americas’ newest residential tower that’s poised to become the next chapter in the legacy of this location. Situated on the original site of the famed Il Giardino Restaurant and designed by a team of Canada’s leading architects and designers, the 39-storey tower will be a timeless addition to Vancouver’s skyline.

16 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

ONE OF A KIND LOCATION

“In our view, this location already has more going for it than most neighbourhoods,” says Marc Josephson, Grosvenor’s vicepresident of development. “It’s incredibly close to the water, beaches, the seawall, parks, great restaurants and shopping. It’s also close to both English Bay and Yaletown, but given its position on the southern edge of the downtown peninsula, it’s also well connected to Vancouver’s other great neighbourhoods like Granville Island and Kitsilano. And with its current evolution — including new public investment, nearby grocery stores and new restaurants, and a new focus on arts and culture — the walkability and ambiance will be as good as it gets.

“Another differentiator is its southern orientation, which means

it’s one of the brightest parts of the downtown peninsula with allday light,” he adds. “And with that orientation comes some of the best views Vancouver has to offer.”

TIMELESS DESIGN

By design, The Pacific will have eye-catching architecture that Marc notes will be unique but timeless. “It complements the exciting evolution of the neighbourhood but brings an understated elegance that is revealed in different ways depending on whether you’re looking at the building from a distance or up close. The focus on refined details is where it shines.”

He stresses that like every Grosvenor development, the homes themselves are always the top priority.

“We start by designing from the inside out with a relentless attention to

detail. Italian cabinetry by Snaidero is custom-configured for every kitchen, master bathroom and master closet.

Interior layouts are meticulously planned. We’ve favoured quality and timelessness over design gimmicks, and have brought the aesthetic of the architecture into each home.

Many of the interior details have to be experienced first-hand.”

ARTS AND CULTURE HUB

What’s happening next door is equally exciting. “This part of downtown Vancouver is emerging as a focal point for arts and culture. As part of this, we will be building a seven-storey Passive House building for the City of Vancouver on the underutilized site across the lane and will make those spaces available to arts organizations and working artists,” Marc explains.

“It’s going to be quite unlike anything else in the City, and it’s an opportunity for us to give something back to the local community.”

The Pacific will begin previews soon. To make sure you’re among the first to receive more information and your personal preview invitation, register at grosvenorpacific.com, then get set to experience the lifestyle for yourself.

VANCOUVER’S BEST ROOFTOP PATIOS THERE’S NOTHING TO PERK UP VANCOUVERITES’ SPIRITS LIKE A SUNNY AFTERNOON ON A ROOFTOP PATIO. AS SUMMER COMES TO AN END, THIS MIGHT BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET A GLIMPSE OF THE CITY’S KILLER VIEWS FROM THESE PERCHED HOTSPOTS. BLACK+BLUE

THE SANDBAR SEAFOOD

1032 Alberni St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3

RESTAURANT

With plenty of outdoor fireplaces, colourful cube lights and zebra-print cushions, The Roof at Black+Blue is a popular patio destination, even after the sun goes down – no wonder it’s open nightly until 1 a.m. If you’d rather soak up some rays, make your trip up the private glass elevator during the afternoon cocktail hour for feature drinks starting at $5.

JOE FORTES SEAFOOD & CHOP HOUSE

777 Thurlow St, Vancouver, BC V6E 3V5

Joe Fortes bills its rooftop space as a garden rather than a patio – and it’s easy to see why. The lush plants and living wall create a green oasis perched above the hustle and bustle of Robson Street. The rooftop bar is a prime place for a chilled glass from the award-winning wine list. Snag a coveted table to dive into some of Vancouver’s best seafood.

1535 Johnston St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9

Nestled under the Granville Street Bridge on Granville Island, The Sandbar patio offers stunning views of the Burrard Bridge and False Creek. The menu features a wide selection of sustainably harvested Ocean Wise seafood, including an extensive daily fresh menu. The Sandbar’s sightlines truly show off Vancouver at its best – especially at sunset.

VIJ’S

3106 Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W2

Vikram Vij’s new namesake location on Cambie Street is topped with a charming rooftop patio. Covered with grape vines that will eventually grow to provide a canopy of shade, the patio is designed to feel more like a courtyard than an exposed rooftop – but with views only a rooftop can provide. Head on up to sip Tiki-style cocktails while you wait for your table downstairs, or make a full meal from the menu of rice bowls and other simple dishes available up top.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

WEST END

BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

The West End neighbourhood lies in downtown Vancouver, bounded

by Stanley Park in the west, West Georgia Street to the north, Burrard Street to the east and Pacific Avenue to the south. For architecture lovers there’s a whole block of heritage homes dubbed Mole 20 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

Hill, or art junkies will go for the funky, sometimes quirky, public art installations.

The West End is a luminous and richly diverse kaleidoscope of hang outs for the urbanite, the socialite and the sport enthusiast. Although glass skyscrapers abound, there are tree

lined streets and lanes and garden oasis cared for by volunteer “green thumbs.” If you like walking, cycling or jogging, it’s a Mecca.

THE VIBE

Along with its eccentricities, the West End is the second oldest and most

diverse neighbourhood in the city. It’s really one of the city’s shining stars! At one time, the West End was dominated by white wealthy elite! Today, Davie Street is famous for its gay nightclubs and to the city’s best queer bars.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

The West End is the fourth most densely populated neighbourhood. The 20 to 39 age group dominates, at 48 per cent; followed by the 40 to 64 age bracket at 34 per cent, and seniors making up 13 per cent of the population here.

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES:

This is one of the most walkable communities, yet it is within easy access to the Canada Line and transit. Many residents have tossed their car keys, opting instead for Car2Go… that is, if they ever leave this little slice of heaven!

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE REST:

I’m hard pressed to find anything bad to say about the West End, except if you drive … it’s a nightmare.

Surrounded by world-class parks and beaches, bustling with shops and eateries, minutes away from the downtown core, Coal Harbour and more, there aren’t many down-sides to this coveted locale.

HOT SPOTS BLOOMING FLOWER CART Located just outside the West End Community Centre, the Blooming Flower Cart bursts with a plethora of brilliantly colourful blooms. It helps to raise money for seniors, the homeless and mentally challenged in the community.

REAL ESTATE

Increased density and the appeal of downtown living have boosted the prices of real estate substantially over the last decade. Getting into this neighbourhood is not cheap; a condo apartment will cost you, on average, half a million and up. There aren’t many single-family homes here, and the relatively few found are heritage homes well into the millions.

THE FISH HOUSE IN STANLEY PARK In one of the most beautiful and romantic settings in the city, you’ll find this history site. If you’re craving seafood, make a beeline to the Fish House … your taste buds will thank you!

STANLEY PARK Voted Best Park in the World 2014 by TripAdvisor, Stanley Park is a 400-hectare rainforest surrounded by water. Walk, hike, cycle, lounge on the beach, visit First Nations totem poles and much more!

EXHILE BISTRO This uber-healthy restaurant and cocktail bar serves up ethically and organically sourced ingredients (mostly plant based) translating into cuisine that tantalizes all of the senses. A truly fresh take on produce!

+

STREET CORNER

“The West End has it all: diversity, great food, entertainment, a sense of community, Stanley Park and million dollar views. It’s hard to imagine why I would want to live anywhere else.”

– LORNA, MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

“You can walk anywhere in the West End at any time and feel safe! It’s a great and exciting lifestyle, with easy access to Stanley Park and the seawall.”

– PATRICK, REGISTERED NURSE

“I sold my Kerrisdale home to live here … the best decision I ever made! I walk everywhere and residents take the time to say ‘hi!’”

WATER TAXI There’s no better way to see the West End than by water.

A suggestion is to purchase a Hop On, Hop-Off Day Pass and really take in the spectacular scenery.

THE SYLVIA HOTEL Built in 1913, this grand dame is a landmark heritage building standing proudly on English Bay. Covered in vines and an iconic neon sign, it boasts a fabulous cocktail lounge with live music thanks to talented local artists.

POLITICAL AND POLICY UNCERTAINTY IN B.C. THREATENS ECONOMIC PROSPERITY The tenuous nature of the recent election in British Columbia has increased political and policy uncertainty to the highest levels since 2009, which could drive away business investment and slow the economy, according to a study by the Fraser Institute.

“Heightened uncertainty surrounding who will govern, and what policies the government will implement, act as a drag on business and the economy,” says Lydia Miljan, an associate professor of political science at the University of Windsor, Fraser Institute senior fellow and author of “Measuring the impact of the 2017 election on uncertainty in British Columbia.”

The study measured the volume of news stories about uncertainty to gauge changes in uncertainty levels over time.

It found that B.C.’s 2017 provincial election prompted the highest number of newspaper stories that included the term “uncertain” (in the context of B.C. politics and policy), based on an analysis of national and provincial

newspapers from 2009 to July 2017.

In April of this year, the term appeared in just eight newspaper stories, but that number jumped to 31 in May when B.C.’s election occurred.

In June, as the political wrangling continued over what party would form government, the term appeared in 26 stories. The previous peak over the eight-year period was 26 stories in May 2013 during the previous election.

But whereas spikes in stories about uncertainty receded quickly following the 2009 and 2013 elections – the number dropped down to just three stories in both July 2009 and July 2013– uncertainty levels remain high with 12 such stories appearing in July 2017.

In particular, the issues most

ONCE AGAIN...

BOC RAISES OVERNIGHT RATE The Bank of Canada (BoC) has raised its target for the overnight rate to one per cent, up 25 basis points. Sound familiar? The BoC recently raised interests rates back in July – from .50 per cent to .75 per cent.

According to a recent release from the BoC, “Recent economic data have been stronger than expected, supporting the Bank’s view that growth in Canada is becoming more broadly-based and self-sustaining... The Bank continues to expect a moderation in the pace of economic growth in the second half of 2017... but the level of GDP is now higher than the Bank had expected.”

22 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

associated with uncertainty – apart from the actual 2017 election results and who will form government, which accounted for 31 per cent of news stories – were energy and pipeline policies (24 per cent), taxation (17 per cent) and the economy generally (15 per cent).

Policy uncertainty stemming from the NDP and Green Party commitments to increase personal income, business and carbon tax rates, stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline, further review the Site C hydroelectric dam already under construction, and raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, could deter business investment and slow economic growth.

Research has shown political and policy uncertainty, which is amplified under minority governments, can drive down business investment by six to 10.5 per cent.

“In a global economy, where jurisdictions jostle for investment, heightened levels of policy uncertainty signal to investors that B.C. is not as attractive a place to do business as it once was,” Miljan says.

4 KEY FACTORS WHEN BUYING A PRE-SALE HOME PRICE

CAMERON MCNEILL

While there are general factors that influence which home a buyer chooses, such as financial situation, needs versus wants, and market conditions, here are a few other key considerations when purchasing a pre-sale home.

LOCATION

We’ve all heard the adage “location, location, location” and it continues to be the top deciding factor. When browsing neighbourhoods, walk and drive around the community to see what shops and services you would likely use and if they are conveniently located, like markets, cafes, restaurants, schools and parks. The location of a new development will also determine the price and design.

Developers design and build homes with targeted groups of purchasers in mind and will cater the floorplan, finishes, and appliance packages to those lifestyle requirements.

PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT

Explore your transportation options.

Will you drive, walk, bike or have access to a car share program? Look at your regular routine such as your daily commute and distance from work and social activities, and ask yourself if the time spent in-transit is worthwhile for you to live in one of your favourite neighbourhoods.

24 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

Compare prices of homes that appeal to you and if you’re working with a realtor, they can advise you on the pros and cons of each community and how it fits into your lifestyle. Also, consider the development and what it has to offer. It is often not about the lowest price, but rather the greatest value in terms of what is important to you and how you live.

“

Consider the development and what it has to offer. It is often not about the lowest price, but rather the greatest value in terms of what is important to you and how you live.

”

Additionally, it’s important to take the time to understand what you can afford by speaking with a financial advisor or mortgage broker and getting pre-approved. By arranging your finances in advance, you’ll protect yourself from over-spending or rising interest rates, ultimately providing peace of mind. Ask the development’s sales representatives about the pre-sale deposit installment structure along with your up-front costs such as parking, storage unit

and estimated strata fees. It’s strongly recommend that you carefully review the Disclosure Statement for your building’s details.

FLOORPLAN DESIGN

Good design is essential to the livability and enjoyment of your home.

It ensures your furniture will fit, that you have enough storage, and that your home functions the way you need it to.

At MLA Canada, we spend hours with our developers and their project teams designing efficient floorplans that incorporate open-concept kitchens and dining areas, built-in storage solutions and outdoor spaces with balconies, patios and rooftop terraces. There’s a strong focus on smart spaces, specifically for homes with multiple bedrooms. These bedrooms are often separated, with the living area in between them to allow for privacy.

Competition for condos and towns pushed Metro Vancouver home sales above typical levels in August. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that home sales in the region reached 3,043 in August 2017, up 22.3 per cent year over year, and a 2.8-per-cent increase compared to the previous month.

Last month’s sales were 19.6 per cent above the 10-year August sales average.

“First-time homebuyers have led a surge this summer in demand in our condominium and townhome markets,” says Jill Oudil, REBGV president. “Homes priced between $350,000 and $750,000 have been subject to intense competition and multiple offers across the region.”

There were 4,245 new residential listings on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in August 2017. This represents a 1.1-per-cent decrease compared to the 4,293 homes listed in August 2016 and a 19.2 per cent decrease compared to July 2017 when 5,256 homes were listed.

The total number of properties 26 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

currently listed for sale on the MLS system in Metro Vancouver is 8,807, a 3.5 per cent increase compared to August 2016 (8,506) and a 4.2 per cent decrease compared to July 2017 (9,194).

For all property types, the sales-toactive listings ratio for August 2017 is 34.6 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 16.3 per cent for detached homes, 44.8 per cent for townhomes, and 76.3 per cent for condominiums.

Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.

“Conditions in our detached home market are distinct today from the dynamic in our condominium and townhome markets,” Oudil says.

“Detached homes have entered a balanced market. This means there’s less upward pressure on prices and that buyers have more selection to choose from and more time to make their decisions.”

The average price for homes in Metro Vancouver is $1,029,700. This represents a 9.4-per-cent increase over August 2016 and a one per cent increase compared to July 2017.

Sales of detached homes in August reached 901, a 26-per-cent increase from the 715 detached sales recorded in August 2016. The price for detached homes is $1,615,100 – up 2.2-per-cent from August 2016 and a 0.2-per-cent increase compared to July 2017.

Sales of apartment properties reached 1,613 in August 2017, a 20.1-per-cent increase compared to the 1,343 sales in August 2016. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $626,800. This represents a 19.4-per-cent increase from August 2016 and a 1.7-per-cent increase compared to July 2017.

Attached property sales in August 2017 totalled 529, a 22.7-per-cent increase compared to the 431 sales in August 2016. The benchmark price of an attached unit is $778,300. This represents a 12.8-per-cent increase from August 2016 and a 1.9-per-cent increase compared to July 2017.

OUTSTANDING BY DESIGN

“One of Summit’s most unique features is the split-level floorplans — something that’s totally unique,” says Brandon Trent from Hayer Builders Group. “Because the site is located on a sloping site in Panorama Heights, we’ve terraced the property so each home has a sunken living room that boasts soaring 11-ft. ceilings. And each home gets unbelievable views of the North Shore Mountains.”

Kitchens are big — really big. Think walk-in pantries, massive centre islands with integrated magazine rack on one end, and top-of-the-line appliances including a built-in wine fridge in every home. Seriously — when was the last time you saw a townhome with a built-in wine fridge that’s standard?

Upstairs, the master suite is cleverly situated at the top of a few steps creating the effect of being a separate, private wing. Definitely a single-family feature any parent can appreciate.

OUTDOOR APPRECIATION

But it’s Summit’s private rooftop decks that Brandon’s most excited about.

“Every one of them is structurally engineered to be hot tub friendly,” he says.

“Can’t you just imagine sitting in your hot tub and stargazing or watching the summer sunset?”

Summit’s presentation centre and two display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 14058 – 61st Street in Surrey. Priced from the low $700,000s. For more information, visit hayerlifestyle.com or call 778.591.6685.

ADVICE | GVHBA REPORT

LUXURY MEETS WEST COAST MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND GREEN BUILDING

BOB DE WIT

Each year our members enter their homes into the Ovation Awards for the opportunity to be chosen as one of Metro Vancouver’s leading residential builders, renovators or designers.

Entries are peer-reviewed by awardwinning industry professionals who build outside of Metro Vancouver, making an Ovation Award a coveted honour in our industry, and a symbol that consumers have grown to trust.

At the 2017 Ovation Awards, Adera Development Corp. was nominated 12 times and took home three wins, including Best Multi-Family Low-rise Development for its latest project, Prodigy. Adera has uniquely qualified itself in building sustainable, Green homes paired with luxury.

The Prodigy – which was awarded the Residential Environmental Assessment Program (REAP) gold certification, UBC’s proprietary sustainability certification program – ensures lower consumption of water, energy and resources; as well as higher quality indoor environments and construction practices. Fifty per cent of all materials used in building Prodigy were manufactured locally, with all lumber harvested from sustainable forests.

Prodigy was inspired by natural design aesthetic and achieves both visual and ecological harmony. This six-story pure wood-frame building comprises of one- to four-bedroom luxury homes. Located in the heart of Westbrook Village, homeowners enjoy incredible views of Mundell park over calming, Zen-like reflecting ponds.

Blocks away from amenities such as groceries, restaurants and coffee shops, Prodigy is a prime location for

families. Offering a larger selection of three-bedroom homes, Adera can certainly meet the needs of its clients, along with their ever-growing families.

Adera blends West Coast modern architecture with the natural elements of its surroundings, highlighting exposed wood beams, cedar soffits and warm brick cladding interplayed with glass. The dramatic two-story lobby bridge and breezeway draw attention, while floor-to-ceiling glazing fills rooms with stunning character.

The units themselves demonstrate an efficient floorplan; their fluid design lends easy movement to the homes and maximizes the kitchen, conducive to at-home entertaining.

Hosting a bigger party? Adera’s largest private covered rooftop lanai provides additional space and is accessible through a sky study boasting panoramic views of the surrounding neighbourhoods. This terrace is certainly a place where guests can relax in the hot tub, barbecue with friends and enjoy the breathtaking view.

The Ovation Awards acknowledge quality and excellence in our industry.

ADVICE | MIND OVER MORTGAGE

MORTGAGE PORTABILITY, AND WHAT IT MIGHT COST TO MAKE YOUR MOVE

ALISA ARAGON

Selling your current home and moving into a new one can be stressful, but what about the added worry of whether you are able to carry your current mortgage over to your new home?

Porting your mortgage enables you to move to another property without having to lose your existing interest rate, mortgage balance and term.

And, better yet, the ability to port also allows you to increase your mortgage amount without paying a penalty. It’s important to note, however, that not all mortgages are portable.

When it comes to fixed-rate mortgages, you usually have a portability option. If you require additional funds, there are two ways that lenders can do this.

Some lenders will “blend and extend,” meaning they will look at your current interest rate and compare it to their current available rate. They will then blend the two rates, which becomes the new interest rate you will have for your new term. In this circumstance, the amortization period may increase or remain the same.

Another way some lenders (most commonly banks) port your mortgage is by maintaining your current mortgage rate, amount and terms,

42 NextHome.ca | Richmond / North Delta / Tsawwassen

and the additional mortgage funds you need become a new mortgage at the current interest rate, with a new amortization period and a new maturity date. The challenge with this is that you will have two different mortgages renewing at different times and with different amortization periods. If you ever decide to move your mortgage to a new lender, you will likely have to pay a penalty.

“

There are instances where it’s better to pay a penalty at the time of selling and get into a new term at a brand new rate that could recoup your penalty over the course of the new term.

”

If you have a variable-rate mortgage, porting is usually not an option. In this case, when you break your existing mortgage, a three-month interest penalty will be charged. This charge may or may not be reimbursed with your new mortgage.

While porting typically ensures no penalty will be charged when you sell your existing property and buy a new one, some conditions may apply.

» Some lenders will let you port your mortgage, but your sale and purchase have to occur within a certain period, which can range from the same day up to three months. » Some lenders don’t allow a term to be changed, or will force you into a longer term as part of agreeing to port your mortgage. » Some lenders will reimburse your entire penalty, regardless if you’re a fixed- or variable-rate borrower who is simply getting a new mortgage with the same lender and replacing the one being discharged.

Additionally, some lenders will even allow you to move into a brand new term of your choice and start fresh. » There are instances where it’s better to pay a penalty at the time of selling and get into a new term at a brand new rate that could recoup your penalty over the course of the new term.

INSPIRATION | DESIGNER ADVICE

for the love of LAYERS!

story by YANIC SIMARD photo courtesy of CB2

1 | Layering fabrics isn’t just for furniture. Rugs can look amazing layered too. I love adding a cowhide rug to tie together unusual furniture arrangements or punctuate the centre of a space. A sheepskin-style rug also makes a stylish accent to areas such as the edge of the bed, under a footstool, or even draped over a chair or bar stool for a softer seat.

TIP: Layer rugs like crazy to get a patchwork quilt look that adds huge drama – mix five to seven smaller rugs in one room (check out the CB2 photo on the opposite page for inspiration). Alternately, you can use carpet tiles to fake a large rug under your existing one, and fill in the edges of a room.

2 | Copper, gold and brass bring a classic yet trendy style and warm undertones without feeling like an overly strong colour. If you’re timid (or already invested in silver), start small by layering these metals in with accents such as frames, tableware and lamps. The mix of silver and gold hues creates a subtle Art Deco-inspired vibe, so there’s no reason not to sprinkle one in, while letting the other dominate.

TIP: Bronze tea light votives reflect an extra-warm glow. Line up three, five or seven (odd numbers work best) on a silvery tray or cart for a contrast statement and sparkling mood-lighting.

3 | Pillows are one of my favourite ways to add style – they can move from living room to bedroom and beyond, and dress a room up, or down. Rather than picking dramatic new colours, grab some neutral but bold patterns that can layer behind your existing favourites for a more filled-in feel.

TIP: For my YSS collection, I wanted a dash of liveable safari style, so I tamed a tiger print pillow in a warm tan and winter-white. An animal print like this adds unexpected drama standing alone on your dining chairs, or slinking between the sofa cushions. Safari Tiger Print Crewel Embroidered Square Cushion. Visit YSSelected.com 4 | Lush textures are great for adding warmth to the eye and the hand. A sumptuous blanket, folded neatly at the end of a bed or tossed casually on a sofa, adds some interchangeable luxury and can move between rooms for new looks.

TIP: Spread a blanket across the cushions of a sofa and tuck it in at the edges, for a noncommittal contrastupholstery look. Pictured left: Chevron Jacquard Cotton Throw; Aspen Deluxe Faux Fur Throw. YSSelected.com 5 | Don’t forget the vertical surfaces! An extra layer of drapery helps avoid heat loss through windows, so consider mixing a sheer layer with a heavy blackout-lined layer – you can keep your existing curtains and add a double rod.

TIP: A lightly patterned inner sheer (try a tone-on-tone white) under a solid heavy drape, draws the eye’s attention to the layered effect by adding drama to the background instead of the foreground.

PROPERTY PROFILE

SWITCH TURN ON LIFE Turning heads in South Surrey, Switch is a dynamic, distinctly tech-savvy collection of just 35 three-level boutique townhomes inspired by classic design, yet with a style that’s pure 21st Century. And best of all, some of these residences are ready for occupancy — meaning you could be totally settled into your new home in time for Thanksgiving with the family.

Homeowners will also enjoy the luxury of premium stainless steel appliances, large pantries, main-floor powder rooms, full-sized laundry upstairs where it’s convenient to the bedrooms, and quartz counters. “Plus, you have a balcony and fenced yard or patio — prefect for barbecuing and outdoor entertaining,” Suniel adds.

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

From the street, Switch’s architecture is a rich blend of white exteriors with black accents, railings and window frames. Step inside though, and you’re going to be surprised.

“Switch incorporates home automation to a degree that hasn’t been seen in South Surrey townhomes before,” says Suniel Dardi, director of sales and marketing. Using state-of-the-art Nest technology, homeowners can control every aspect of their home from their mobile devices — from lighting and temperature to security and the fire alarm. “So, not only can you make sure your home is toasty warm and well lit when you get home after work, the system will send alerts directly to your smart phone if anything requires attention.”

Ideally positioned in South Surrey’s Grandview neighbourhood, Switch puts you within walking distance of the ever-evolving shops, eateries and services found at Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners. For young families, top-ranked schools including the prestigious Southridge School are nearby.

LEEDING THE WAY TO A GREENER WORLD NEW STANDARDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAVVY

BY SUSAN M BOYCE As global warming and erratic, often violent weather continues escalating around the world, the pressure’s on for the building industry to develop ever more sustainable, environmentally savvy construction techniques.

It’s no longer enough to pay lip service to going Green by simply listing 54 NextHome.ca | South Surrey / White Rock

items like energy-efficient appliances, dual-flush toilets or low-VOC paints — many of which are now mandated by building code — on a project’s feature list. Consumers and governments want tangible, measurable innovations.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) helps builders provide them.

LEED BASICS

Originally created as a measure of the environmental health of large, commercial buildings, when the LEED for Homes program was introduced, BC’s construction industry embraced it.

In its simplest form, LEED for Homes assigns a point value to

strategies and features that create superior environmental performance in key areas. Energy efficiency, reduced water consumption, indoor air quality, even proximity to transit are all considered and evaluated.

An independent, third party then verifies whether a building meets the requirements for one of LEED’s four levels of certification — certified, silver, gold or the coveted platinum rating. The result is an easily identifiable benchmark both for consumers and the building industry.

BUILDING FOR A HEALTHIER WORLD

With a shelf of awards that attest to its visionary commitment to going Green, residential development firm Adera continues to push the boundaries of sustainable construction. In North Vancouver, the much-honoured Seven35 project was not only Canada’s first multifamily to achieve a LEED for Homes Platinum rating, but also the first residential community to incorporate

“

“Many consumers would love to drive an electric car — on-site chargers will make owning one viable”

a waste-water heat recovery system — a process that saves homeowners as much as 75 per cent on domestic water heating costs.

Eric Andreasen, Adera’s vicepresident of marketing and sales, says he anticipates innovations like solar panels and CLT (cross laminate timber) construction, which Adera is using in Virtuoso at UBC, will become more common in the near future.

“Energy is expensive, so it’s important for the building industry to design homes that reduce consumption.”

He also predicts a growing trend of more electric-car charging stations — another feature found at Virtuoso.

“When Tesla came out with a new model for about $40,000, people camped out to be able to buy one.

Many consumers would love to drive

”

an electric car — onsite chargers will make owning one viable.”

Like many industry insiders, Geoff Duyker from Mosaic Homes is pleased the City of Vancouver now requires homes to be built to LEED standards. “Vancouver has taken a strong leadership role in sustainable building — which directly aligns with our company’s core values.” He notes that like all their developments, Cambia Park and Edward, both currently under construction on the Cambie corridor, were designed with many of these criteria long before the new regulations were in place.

“Not only are these homes healthier to live in, but they’re also easier on the environment.” A win for consumers: a win for the environment.

Located at UBD, Virtuoso by Adera incorporates CLT construction, electric-car charging stations, and a spectacular setting in the heart of BC’s largest university

PROPERTY PROFILE

MONTROSE SQUARE NEW VIEW ON PORT COQUITLAM Think you know Port Coquitlam?

Think again.

Introducing Montrose Square.

Comprised of four, six-storey condominium residences plus a purpose-built rental building and a seniors’ residence, Montrose Square is poised to bring a whole new vibe to downtown PoCo. Best of all, with an astonishing 27 different floorplans ranging from one to three bedrooms offering nearly 1,500 sq. ft. of living space, there’s something to suit every lifestyle — from the first-time buyer to growing family to active downsizer.

BUILDING COMMUNITY

“Montrose Square’s architecture is going to be something fresh and different in this neighbourhood,” says Trevor Street, project marketer for Montrose Square. The first two storeys, he explains, will feature brick columns and arches framing covered walkways that meander past a diverse array of ground-level, boutique shops and eateries.

Above, each building’s façade is stepped back and staggered, creating an intriguing visual and affording some third-level homes terraces in excess of 1,000 sq. ft.

Then there’s the public promenade connecting Montrose Square to the city’s new recreation and community complex. Inspired by the ambiance of European plazas, this central amenity is sure to become a social hub; a gathering space where neighbours and visitors alike can simply hang out and enjoy a steaming latté or picnic lunch.

CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

“People often don’t realize how connected Port Coquitlam is to everywhere,” Trevor says. “You can walk to the West Coast Express station in under five minutes, schools at all levels are nearby, plus you can be strolling along the Traboulay Trail in under 10 minutes.”

And here’s a cool bonus: everyone who calls Montrose Square “home” will receive a five-year membership for the brand new recreation complex with gym, pool and ice rink right next door.

Montrose Square will be located at Mary Hill Road and Kelly Avenue in Port Coquitlam. The presentation centre is coming soon. With more than 27 floorplans starting from the low $300,000s, there’s a home for every lifestyle. For more information register today at montrosesquare.com.

INVESTMENTS THAT PAY OFF

VERSUS WHAT RENTERS WANT

BY LYDIA MCNUTT

S

upply and demand, economic conditions and population growth will all impact your investment condo’s rental potential. Unfortunately, these factors are not within your control. What you can control, when it comes to the housing market, is whether you buy here and now, or wait.

Purchasing an investment condo at the right time and in the right place, then selling when values hit a high point, is just part of the story. Between the “buy” and the “sell,” there’s money to be made.

While you let time work its magic and watch your property appreciate in value (as it historically has done) you can rent your condo and earn while you wait. It sounds easy enough – if you can give renters what they want.

NextHome conducted The Great Canadian Real Estate Survey to find out what people want in a new condo. Then we asked some condo experts where these must-haves fall on their scale of investor importance.

62 NextHome.ca | Coquitlam / Port Coquitlam / Pitt Meadows / Maple Ridge

Location trumps all else EXPERTS AGREE: Transit-oriented locations lead straight to the bank.

Location, location, location – this has always been the starting point of great real estate purchases, and an investment or rental condo is no different. The experts agree: this is one “rentability” factor that definitely pays off.

We asked and you answered...

RENTABILITY FACTOR

No. 1 LOCATION

42%

Prefer a downtown location

36% Want close proximity to transit

“The golden rule for investors is to select a condo close to public transit,” says condo pro Barbara Lawlor, president and CEO of Baker Real Estate. In addition to freedom from traffic jams, Lawlor says being car-free is a double win in this pricey housing market.

“With Toronto housing prices the way they are today, many buyers and renters do not own cars, which helps with home affordability.”

It’s the same story in Vancouver – which tops the list of Canada’s priciest housing markets. Opting for public transit over vehicle ownership leaves more money in the bank

for a down payment on a home. But money aside, transit hubs are very much about lifestyle.

“We’re seeing a trend toward transitoriented communities for accessibility and convenience, such as Cambie Corridor, Burquitlam, Brentwood and Metrotown,” says Cameron McNeill, co-president of MLA Canada, a Western Canada-based analytics and advisory group. “There has been a shift to one-car families or individuals preferring not to own a vehicle, and these groups want to be within proximity to public transit.”

PROFITABILITY FACTOR

Condo investors and experts agree: location trumps all else when it comes to rentability and resale value alike.

Double win!

SEPT 15 - 29, 2017 63

We asked and you answered...

RENTABILITY FACTOR

No. 2 SUITE SIZE

38%

Seek a two-bedroom suite 30% Prefer a one-bedroomplus-den plan

20% Want a threebedroom unit

Size matters Whomever said size doesn’t matter, was wrong. Yes, small suites are more affordable up-front, but think beyond that initial cost and consider a long-term investment in livability.

PROFITABILITY FACTOR

Investors confirm, the greatest demand – and rental value – is for twobedroom suites.

Why? Room for family, friends and added functionality of the unit.

EXPERTS AGREE: Bigger is better – and more easily rentable.

Why? Compact units are a red flag to renters, who equate their small size with lifestyle compromises.

“Size is important,” says Cole Romaniuk, a condo investor, real estate broker and condo property manager at Calgary-based Karen King & Associates Inc. “I find that twobedrooms rent significantly faster than onebedrooms. It’s a critical threshold of livability – that 700-sq.-ft. sweet spot where a lot of

64 NextHome.ca | Coquitlam / Port Coquitlam / Pitt Meadows / Maple Ridge

condo investors sit. As soon as you go below that threshold, renters see it as having to make sacrifices on their lifestyle.”

A demographic shift in the renter is increasing demand for larger suites. It’s not just the young and the restless who are looking to rent. Families are opting to rent in Canada’s hottest markets, in direct response to unaffordable housing prices.

Renting is also gaining popularity as a lifestyle choice among the more-mature market segment. “The willingness of downsizers to rent has been an interesting development,” says Shaun Hildebrand, senior vice-president of Toronto condo market research firm Urbanation. “Demographic trends suggest this will be a key area of growth going forward.”

Amenities?

Thanks... but no thanks EXPERTS AGREE: This one’s a dud.

You might think a condo with a swimming pool or reading lounge might appeal to renters, but walk into one and in most cases, you’ll find it empty.

According to our experts, building amenities like this don’t appeal to investors either. They don’t yield much of a return in rental income, according to popular expert opinion – especially a pool.

“In this day and age, it’s not a desired amenity,” says Romaniuk. “New condo builders aren’t including pools, and a lot of the buildings that do have them are aging, which can be a significant cash crunch for investors when it comes to condo fees,” he explains.

“The average cost to operate a pool yearround is between $30,000 and $50,000.

When you think about that on a price-perunit basis, it’s a lot of money just to maintain a pool that doesn’t get used very well.”

Romaniuk admits he steers investors clear of pools. ”The investor won’t get a return, but it’s something they pay for in their condo fees.”

So now that we’ve established what costs, let’s see what amenities pay off.

According to The Great Canadian Real Estate Survey, the most desirable amenity among end-users isn’t technically an “amenity.” It’s a parking spot.

Hit the brakes... huh?

“Parking will absolutely increase the rent, especially downtown in a major city,” Romaniuk confirms. “Two parking stalls is an automatic rent-booster,” setting your unit apart from your two-bedroom competitors with only single-vehicle parking to offer, he says.

The survey named the second mostpopular amenity as “adjacent retail.”

We asked and you answered...

RENTABILITY FACTOR

No. 3 AMENITIES

43%

Name parking as the most important amenity 28% Name adjacent retail/ commercial space as important 19% Name a fitness centre as important PROFITABILITY FACTOR

Condo investment experts agree: amenities don’t matter – given that parking isn’t technically a condo amenity.

In fact, pools, hot tubs and saunas are underused, costly to maintain, and a cash crunch for condo investors.

SOUTH MAIN

A GO-TO PLACE FOR DÉCOR ENTHUSIASTS South Main – SoMa for short – has transitioned into one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Vancouver. Foodies and fashionistas flock to the area to indulge in the eclectic mix of shops and restaurants – from mom-and-pop eateries to upscale boutiques. Crossing through the historic Mount Pleasant area, this up-and-coming neighbourhood was ranked among the coolest streets in North America, by Cushman & Wakefields.

With an array of shopping options, it’s no surprise that the area has also become a go-to spot for those looking to dress up their homes with one-of-a-kind accessories and furnishings.

THE LAST WORD

Q&A WITH

DON R. CAMPBELL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR, EDUCATOR AND AUTHOR

BY WAYNE KARL

WHEN IT COMES TO REAL ESTATE INFORMATION, FEW PEOPLE ARE AS WELL READ AND OBJECTIVE AS DON CAMPBELL. NEXTHOME GETS HIS TAKE ON WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE HOME FRONT. NEXTHOME: We’re supposed to see a National Housing Strategy at some point this year. What do you expect from it?

Does the economy and growth there actually warrant such activity, or is it more of a case of these buyers moving their capital from Vancouver and Toronto, to Montreal? How do you see this playing out?

DON CAMPBELL: Given the “optically driven” policy decisions we are witnessing across the country, it is really anyone’s guess what the announcements will be. But when the policies are announced and details released, we will be analyzing it in great detail.

NH: It’s been a year since Vancouver introduced a Foreign Buyers’ Tax. What has been the real, overall impact on the market there?

DC: There was the expected lull in activity, especially in the $2 millionplus value category, but that capital has started to flow back in. And given the change in government and the stated goal of reviewing the current tax, we will see a swarm of capital entering the market again to get ahead of any further changes or tightening.

NH: What other issues are emerging that may impact markets in BC? DC: Affordability of ground oriented

units for families will be a growing problem. This will push people

further out from the core regions and put a big demand on infrastructure spending (whether it be for light rail or road expansion. This is inevitable.

However, we must factor in the government change as a market dynamic to watch. Policies matter... and BC’s new government needs to ensure that it is designing and implementing policies that have a long-term positive impact on renters and homeowners, and to not just make expedient announcements for optical reasons.

NH: You have always said that

the health of any real estate market depends on the economic fundamentals. There’s been a recent spike of activity from foreign buyers, and therefore prices, in Montreal.

DC: Montreal has quietly been a magnet for foreign capital, especially European, for many years. But now that Canada has become a “safe haven” for capital – not because we are better than before, but because many regions of the world have become more volatile – capital flow for both real estate and our companies is on the rise. When the Foreign Buyers’ Tax was implemented in Vancouver, that capital moved to other regions for a while, but has now come back. The same will prove true for Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area – a lull as the air clears but then the flow will return. Montreal, with no foreigner tax, is just another place capital is finding as a resting place.

The fact is, we live in interesting times, and, frankly, after analyzing markets for more than 25 years, Canada always seems to be living in interesting times.
