MADE IN MURRAYVILLE

MADE IN MURRAYVILLE

PART OF THE COMMUNITY A local builder with a long reputation of going above and beyond to ensure superior quality and buyer satisfaction, Infinity Properties also has a special attachment to the neighbourhood. “I grew up right here in Murrayville — about 10 minutes from The Belmont site,” says owner Tim Bontkes. “I know the business owners and entrepreneurs who have made Murrayville their home and invested in its evolution.”

And what an evolution it is. Even though The Belmont’s setting retains its quaint, rural charm a diverse array of urban amenities await exploration. Just down the street, literally, is the WC Blair Recreation Centre and for lively, shopping be sure to check the boutiques of Murrayville Square where you’ll also find an IGA Marketplace.

Schools at all levels are just minutes away, as is the Langley Events Centre for athletic opportunities.

For most people, though, no visit to Murrayville is complete without either coffee and lunch at Porters Bistro or a decadently tasty, home-baked confection from Tracycakes. And if you’re on the quest for farm-fresh veggies, look no farther than Ralph’s Farm Market where you can also snag a fabulous bouquet of flowers because, after all, who needs a special occasion to celebrate?

EXCLUSIVE PROFILE ONLINE http://nexthome.yp.ca/new-homes-for-sale/bc/vancouver/west-end

Explore neighbourhoods online If the number one rule in real estate is “location, location, location,” then making sure your next place is in the right “neighbourhood, neighbourhood, neighbourhood” is where we come in.

At YPNextHome.ca we have taken “neighbourhood” to the next level.

Finding a home is about more than just location; it’s about the micro details of the neighbourhood. To that end, we’ve collected data from across the country, right down to details of who lives there.

We invite you to explore the more

than 2,700 neighbourhoods we have on our website to find out not only lives there, but what their favourite activities and hobbies are, and even how they commute to work.

Essentially, your neighbourhood is an extension of your home. Get the facts before you decide.

This issue features a neighbourhood that we’ve explored and defined ourselves. It’s a small sample of what’s available online. I invite you to check it out and let us know what you think!

The weather is getting colder and wetter, the days are getting darker, and all you feel like doing is curling up on the sofa with a hot toddy to plan your holiday festivities. Who can blame you?

We’ve got not only the most comprehensive list of new homes in

the region, but also all the information you need to have about different neighbourhoods, financing options and expert mortgage advice, trending news, and design advice from all the best in the business.

1335 Howe St. Bespoke homes in the Beach District DOWNSIZERS WITH DISCERNING TASTE

Customized floorplans

and specific desires should pay attention to what’s happening at 1335 Howe St., where a 40-story tower will soon house a maximum of 120 exclusive, customizable, residences.

ONNI Group’s Vice President of Sales, Nic Jensen, says that ONNI is “building on the recent success of the Charleson, which exceeded the expectations of many downsizers moving from their single-family homes to be closer to their adult children downtown.”

Yaletown’s Charleson bucked tradition by offering less than 100 homes on 43 storeys (unlike the usual 300-plus homes in buildings with this number of floors), and it was met with rave reviews from buyers, because they were allowed to combine and reconfigure units into the square footage and the layouts they really wanted.

Likewise, homebuyers at 1335 Howe St. will be able to join 1100 to 1700 sq. ft. units into 2300 to 5600 sq.-ft. dwellings,

using the extra space to add a bedroom, a den, a family room—anything their heart desires, giving the homes a bespoke, rather than a one-size-fits-all, quality. “It’s a pleasure,” says Nic, “to be able to collaborate with each buyer to build a home that meets their specific needs.”

Boutique residences such as 1335 Howe St., which has a maximum of four homes per floor, appeal to homebuyers who would rather get to know a select few neighbours than meet a constant

Lavish features and finishes The amenities and features in these homes also don’t disappoint. The eighth-floor amenities area includes an outdoor pool and hot tub with southern exposure, providing ample sunlight and views of English Bay. The pool deck also features private cabanas and plenty of seating. With its high-end chef’s kitchen, as well as its indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas bridged by a doublesided fireplace, the lounge is every entertainer’s dream. The building’s oversized gym and attached yoga room are so well-equipped, assures Nic, “that homebuyers can confidently cancel their gym memberships and do all of their workouts close to home.”

Homes have expansive balconies, from which friends and family can take in views of Vancouver’s skyline, and each comes with a private two-

car garage in the parkade, so there’s no need to worry about parking or somebody carelessly scratching your car’s paint.

Top-of-the-line finishes complete the sense of luxury in these wellthought-out homes. Whether it’s the kitchen’s ¾-inch-thick polished marble or composite-stone countertops and breakfast bar, Wolf and and Sub-Zero appliances (including a wine fridge for those hard-to-find vintages), the bathroom’s walnut-veneer floating wood cabinets, the premium, wideplank engineered hard oak floors in the entry, kitchen, living, and dining areas or the high-efficiency heating and cooling system, the design and engineering of these homes is flawless.

What awaits homeowners beyond the building? When they walk through their lobby (which has over-height, grand, ceilings, of course), nodding goodbye to their full-service concierge, and pass the large water feature at the entryway, they

step into the very best of Vancouver.

Located in Downtown Vancouver’s Beach District, 1335 Howe St. offers the balance of cosmopolitan entertainment and natural beauty that so often puts this city within the top 10 places to live in the world.

This area is home to Vancouver’s famous seawall, as well as two of its best beaches: English Bay Beach (or First Beach) and Sunset Beach. It also has all of the well-established retail diversions of Granville Island North and the newer stores popping up under the Burrard Street Bridge. Downsizers who come here to be closer to family will never need—or want—to leave.

The 1335 Howe St. presentation centre will be opening soon this fall at #1901 1372 Seymour St. For more information about registering for this exclusive collection of customizable, boutique homes with expansive balconies visit www.onni.com or call 604-689-8535.

IT WAS A PACKED HOUSE at Alabaster Homes on September 24th. The barbeque was lit, face painters were on hand, and there was a distinctive buzz of enthusiasm as people gathered to celebrate the grand opening of Oak + Park, a dazzling collection of just 40 townhomes that’s clearly wowing buyers with its style and location.

“I grew up in Marpole and I can’t wait to move back,” says Randy Fong who purchased a home at Oak + Park together with his wife, Alcina.

“It’s so central to everything and there are really good schools nearby.”

As if on cue, the couple’s young daughter giggles her approval from where she’s perched

on dad’s shoulder and points at the scale model. Dad beams. “It’s going to be a while till she’s ready to go there, but Sir Winston Churchill Secondary is one of Canada’s top ranked IB schools.

And since it’s just down the road, it will be extremely convenient.”

“I really like how much space we’ll have when we move here, and how open the floorplan is,” Alcina adds. “And I love the patio. We’re going to use it… a lot.” She’s also thrilled there’s a park and recreation centre just across the street, and that transit is right outside the property.

I grew up in Marpole and I can’t wait to move back.”

– Randy, Oak + Park buyer

Alcina and Randy can’t wait to call Oak + Park home for their growing family.

Alabaster presents a $10,000 cheque to David Lloyd George Elementary for their new playground.

Part of the Community “Not only is Oak + Park the flagship project for Alabaster Homes, it’s a significant project for the City of Vancouver because it marks a new era for the Marpole neighbourhood,” says Herman Kwee, principal of Alabaster Homes.

And Alabaster Homes is proud to be a contributing member of that evolving neighbourhood in other ways too.

“We learned that the playground at David Lloyd George Elementary had to be torn due to safety concerns,” says Yosh Kasahara, director of sales and marketing. “This school is within Oak + Park’s catchment area, so we know many of our homeowners will be sending their children there. It was heart breaking to think those kids wouldn’t have a playground when they returned

to school in September. We knew right away that this was something we wanted to contribute to in a meaningful way.”

Alabaster immediately stepped up with a $10,000 donation towards construction of a new playground.

It was a turning point in the school’s fundraising efforts, and Yosh is delighted to announce construction will be starting shortly — meaning that soon the sound of children playing will once again be heard at David Lloyd George.

Come See for Yourself “We have a great selection of homes still available, including our most affordably priced B-Plan at $1,237,800… but there are only four remaining so if you’re interested you should hurry,” Yosh says.

The Oak + Park presentation is open 1-4 pm weekdays in the Alabaster Homes office at 301 – 1788 West Broadway in Vancouver. Stop by and see for yourself why over 40% of these stylish homes have already been snapped up. For more information visit the new website oakandpark.ca or call 604.558.5851.

Property Profile | THE GREY

The Grey A rare offering of luxury condos in Vancouver’s prestigious West Point Grey IT’S NOT OFTEN there’s an opportunity

to own a brand-new maintenancefree home in the West Point Grey neighbourhood. Primarily single-family, the area is known for great views from the ridge, charming restaurants, shops and services, and close proximity to UBC and some of the city’s best public and private schools.

Neighbourhood Profile | YALETOWN

Yaletown Neighbourhood personality: Once a heavy industrial area dominated by warehouses and rail yards, Yaletown is now one of Vancouver’s hottest neighbourhoods and a frequent stomping ground for celebs. Old heritage buildings have been revitalized into top fashion and design shops, along with ubber hip restaurants and bars. The marina’s and parks provide a beautiful backdrop to the high-rise buildings that surround the hood. Yaletown is situated in the southeastern portion of Downtown, bordered by Homer St. to the west, Beatty St. to the east, Smithe St. to the north and Drake St. to the south.

28 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Quick Facts: • Population: 11,608 • Median Age: 37 • Average Household Income: $70,870 • Average house price: $591,875 The Vibe: Urban, upscale and hip are three words that describe this highly sought-after neighbourhood.

Meet the neighbours: While the majority of Yaletown residents are young professionals between 20 and 40 years old, posh penthouse dwellers, families, and a growing

number of empty-nesters also call this hood home.

In the area: Although there are some attached townhouses, the vast majority of homes in Yaletown are apartments and condos. Hamilton St. and Mainland St. are two of the busiest streets for nightlife in Vancouver with a bounty of bars and restaurants to choose from. Among the hustle and bustle are two parks that provide an oasis of green space and lovely views. This urban neighbourhood is just an easy walk from the centre of downtown

Vancouver or a quick ferry ride from Granville Island. Yaletown is home to the famous and historic Roundhouse Community Centre, once the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) – now a vibrant centre for arts and learning.

Pros & Cons: You just need to walk outside your door to find major amenities like shopping, restaurants, parks and more. Of course, you can’t expect to live in such a hip and

happening area without a hefty price tag.

Dollars & Sense: Vancouver isn’t considered Canada’s most expensive housing market for nothing –and Yaletown is a classic example of how expensive this city can be. An average house price is $591,875 and that will most likely buy you a bachelor/ 1-bedroom suite. While renting the same bachelor/1-bedroom suite will cost you approximately $1,200$2,500+ a month.

Advice | CONDO SENSE

Family Condo Living Downsizing space while upgrading lifestyle and convenience

By Cameron McNeill

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice OUR CITY IS HOME to some of the

world’s best developers, architects and interior designers. As the babyboomer demographic heads into retirement and their children start their own families, we have seen a major change in market demand for larger family sized condominiums. In fact, there are now specific requirements from all municipalities to contribute a certain amount of inventory to family sized homes.

This is typically represented by three bedroom condos and townhomes which can range in size from 900 – 1,500+ square feet. In addition to the obvious price difference between a single family home and a condominium, we wanted to highlight five benefits you actually get from choosing a family condo: 1. Low maintenance living No more being solely responsible for lawn mowers, clogged gutters, broken hot water tanks, and having to roll out your garbage cans into the lane on cold winter mornings.

2. Rock star amenities Whether it’s a party room, swimming pool, steam room, state-of-the-art gym, concierge, outdoor lounge or bowling lane, chances are – a single family house won’t have one within one minute from your front door – so you really can live like a rock star.

32 YPNEXTHOME.CA

3. Fresh new everything We love fixer-upper success stories, but the reality is that not everyone has the time, skill or desire to engage with contractors and trades, while living amongst construction chaos. A brand new condominium home feels wonderful to move into! A clean, fresh canvas to personalize your way. Plus, all the kitchen and bathroom fixtures, freshly painted walls and sparkly kitchen appliances are brand new and covered under a limited time warranty. It’s peace of mind and well worth it.

4. Small spaces keep us connected Experts say that when same sex siblings share a room growing up that they remain closer and more connected into adulthood. Smaller spaces, as in only one place where there is a TV and one place to sit down and eat – pull couples and families closer to together. In this day of portable technology, it is even

more important to provide environments that are conducive to in-person conversations and shared activities.

5. Safety in numbers Multi-family communities with owners who care about their homes will also care about the entire building. Having close neighbours and a strata council to keep an eye on issues ranging from abnormalities to intruders to maintenance and warranty issues is a huge advantage. Additionally, they provide a great environment to build relationships with your neighbours. The fact that you have chosen the same place to live creates common ground and is a great start to friendships.

Millennials set on finding their perfect ‘YOLOcation’ despite steep city home prices, TD survey reveals

MILLENNIALS ARE APPLYING the “you only live once” philosophy to their home-buying approach with nearly half of surveyed Millennials who commute saying they are likely to spend more money on a home in order to live closer to work, compared to only 34 per cent of Canadians as a whole, according to a new survey from TD. Most Millennials are ‘sorrynotsorry’ about compromising their housing hopes when it comes to purchasing a new home. For example, an overwhelming majority of those surveyed, 80 per cent, said that commute time is paramount 34 YPNEXTHOME.CA

when buying a home. With location driving their decision in increasingly expensive urban housing markets, Millennials, many of whom are first-time homebuyers, may need to yield, proceed with caution, and ensure they understand their complete financial picture.

“While living close to work has many benefits, purchasing a home in expensive urban cities can come at a price,” says Pat Giles, associate vice-president, Real Estate Secured Lending at TD. “Finding your dream location means striking a balance among affordability, your nonnegotiables and your financial future.”

A city’s magnet of social activities and entertainment make it a mecca for lifeloving Millennials and they are stretching their dollars to shorten commute times.

According to the survey, this younger generation is unlikely to: » Move into a smaller house than they initially desired (68 per cent) » Sacrifice amenities, like convenient access to shops and services (81 per cent) » Compromise on their top choice of neighbourhood (80 per cent) » Give up a primary or secondary car (89 per cent)

“Finding the right home on the right street in the right postal code is possible, especially when you get great advice to steer you in the right direction” “Of course we want it all when it comes to finding our dream home,” Giles says.

“But it’s important to know what tradeoffs you’re willing to make based on what you can afford and where you are willing to live. If an urban location is paramount, then saving for a large down payment is important. If you can accept a longer commute time, you may actually be able to afford more “you only live once” moments, like vacations, over time.”

In today’s competitive housing market, TD offers the following tips to help Millennials make the right financial decisions when finding their YOLOcation without mortgaging their financial future: Goal Setting – When you decide to buy a home, it is important to make a pros and cons list and weigh them based on their importance. If your goal is to own a home close to work, consider the sacrifices that may need to be made on other desirables such as your targeted neighbourhood, or owning a car. Be sure to seek out professional financial advice as well. Talking to a mortgage specialist to get a pre-approval can help you understand where you stand financially, and help you shop with confidence.

Affordability Map – You no longer have to live in the urban core to enjoy the amenities of urban life. Grocery stores, entertainment, and recreational facilities are available in the suburbs, and in good quantity. While commuting a long distance to work each day may be less desirable to Millennials, sometimes going out of the city by 45 minutes to one hour – an average commute time for many Canadians, according to the TD survey – could mean long-term savings on a home, and a stronger financial future.

Firm Foundation – Take the time to build up a significant down payment.

With a down payment of at least 20 per cent, buyers can also save on mortgage

insurance premiums upfront. Consider setting up a savings account to regularly put aside money, which will not only help you save for your ideal home, but will also help you prepare for other costs such as lawyer’s fees and moving costs.

First-time buyers should also consider contributing to an RSP and benefit from withdrawing up to $25,000 tax-free through the Canadian government’s Home Buyers’ Plan.

“Location drives real estate prices, but so do emotions,” says Giles. “Finding the right home on the right street in the right

postal code is possible, especially when you get great advice to steer you in the right direction.”

About the TD YOLOcation Survey TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group to conduct a custom survey of 6,337 Canadians aged 18 and older. Responses were collected between February 25 and March 17, 2016. This report includes a question to all Canadians, then a subgroup of 1,753 Millennials, followed by those who commute to work.

WALKING UP HASTINGS STREET in Burnaby Heights is almost like going back in time. The little Italian delis, cafes and authentic trattorias, small independent shops and services with mom and pop behind the counter might lead you to believe you are in Brooklyn, not just outside Vancouver. “It’s sort of what Commercial Drive used to be”, says Vince D’Ovidio, marketing manager for Aquila Developments (Verdi) Inc. “When that area got run down, a lot of Italian families moved here to raise their kids in a nicer neighbourhood. They never left, and it’s easy to see why”.

With easy access to downtown Vancouver via Hastings, as well as Tri-Cities and the rest of Burnaby, Burnaby Heights is central too. And in the centre of this great place is Verdi on the Heights, a mixed-use low-rise collection of one-bedroom and den to three-bedroom and den condominium homes that is built to stand out from the crowd. An elegant exterior with Westcoast wood accents illustrates the attention to quality and detail that this project displays from the outside right into the beautiful, livable homes themselves.

Style and function work together in these smart layouts featuring a choice of one-bedroom

and den, two-bedroom and den and three bedroom and den homes. Wide plank laminate and elegant tile floors throughout complement the quartz counters and other high quality finishes, but it’s the kitchens that are really exciting, especially if there’s a chef in your household. “Every home features Bosch cooktops and wall ovens and Fischer Paykal fridges, standard,” says Vince. Bathrooms are elegantly appointed with versatile glass shower enclosures.

For those moving from a single family home, there’s no need to say goodbye to the garden, as Verdi on the Heights has sunny rooftop garden plots where you can garden away, socialize with the neighbours and look at the beautiful view of the mountains. A rooftop social area with a barbeque will be the perfect place to grill up some steaks with your home grown veggies and relax with friends and neighbours while watching the sunset.

Built by Aquila Developments (Verdi) Inc., you know that Verdi on the Heights is backed by all the experience and reputation of the Bosa family tradition.

The Verdi on the Heights presentation centre will be located at 3908 Hastings Street, directly across from the building site. Register for more information today at verdiliving.com or by calling 604.563.3020.

Advice | MIND OVER MORTGAGE

Understanding mortgage default insurance Example of a premium calculation for a home purchase:

By Alisa Aragon

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MORTGAGE DEFAULT insurance is

commonly referred to as mortgage insurance. It is often mistaken for homeowner/property insurance or mortgage life insurance. Homeowner/ property insurance protects the individual’s home and possessions in the home against damages including loss, theft, fire or other unforeseen disasters.

Mortgage life insurance is designed to repay any outstanding mortgage debt in the event of homeowner death or longterm disability.

The mortgage default insurance increases the opportunities for homeownership with a low down payment, as saving for a 20 per cent down payment can be difficult in today’s housing market. There are two types of mortgage options; conventional mortgages, which are loans with a minimum 20 per cent down payment, and high-ratio mortgages, which are loans with less than 20 per cent down payment.

In Canada, mortgage insurance is required by the Government of Canada on all high-ratio mortgages.

The insurance protects the mortgage lender only against a loss caused by non-payment of the mortgage by the borrower and it is not a protection for the homeowner. However, the mortgage insurance enables borrowers to purchase a home with a minimum down payment of five per cent.

* The cost of default insurance is subject to change if the purchase price or appraised value, the amount of down payment or the amortization changes. The final premium and the cost of the mortgage default insurance will be disclosed in the mortgage commitment document from the lender.

Mortgage default insurance is provided by insurers such as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Financial Canada and Canada Guaranty. Each mortgage insurer has its own criteria for evaluating the borrower and the property, and it decides whether or not a mortgage can be insured. The lender and not the borrower selects the mortgage insurer. It is possible that the mortgage application can be approved by the lender but might not be approved by the insurer.

The mortgage default insurance premium is a one-time charge and it is paid by the borrower to the lender.

The premium can be paid in a single lump sum at the time of closing or it can be added to the mortgage amount and repaid over the amortization period (or the life of the mortgage). The cost of default insurance is calculated by multiplying the amount of the funds that are being borrowed by the default insurance premium, which typically varies between 0.5 per cent and 6.0 per cent. Premiums vary depending on the

amortization period of the mortgage, the loan to value ratio, the size of the down payment and the product.

It is important to note that for insured mortgage loans the maximum purchase price or as-improved property value must be below $1,000,000. The borrowers can port the mortgage loan insurance from an existing home to a new home and may be able to save money by reducing or eliminating the premium on the financing of the new home.

Since there are different products available from individual lenders and are subject to lender’s guidelines, it is important to talk to a Mortgage Expert to analyze your situation, present several options and help you decide which product works best for you.

Property Profile | SAVILE ROW IN BURNABY

Savile Row in Burnaby Limited time purchase incentive—Only five townhomes remain BECAUSE SAVILE ROW is nestled in between stunning Deer Lake Park and magnificent Burnaby Lake Park, it’s easy to forget it’s in the middle of bustling Burnaby, close to shopping meccas, Lougheed Town Centre and Metrotown, and that commutes downtown are a breeze from here. Living this close to nature while still benefiting from the perks of city living is the best of all possible worlds.

Savile Row’s Tudor-inspired townhomes with private yards look very much at home in the neighbourhood considered to be Burnaby’s cultural centre, and residents will find plenty to do nearby at Burnaby Village Museum and Shadbolt Center for the Arts.

The interiors here attest to Woodbridge Northwest’s longstanding reputation for excellence in design: large windows filter natural light, while nine-foot ceilings and open layouts make generous spaces feel more expansive and luxurious finishes, available in three colour palettes, perfect the refined appearance of these homes.

Warning: Savile Row’s kitchens might turn even reluctant cooks into inspired chefs. The polished-quartz countertops are matched by matte white porcelain backsplashes, and the three choices of cabinet styles are each elegant and sophisticated. Touches like softclosing cabinetry and under-cabinet lighting 44 YPNEXTHOME.CA

make time spent in the kitchen seem effortless.

Top-quality, stainless-steel appliances complete the sleek look and efficient running of these kitchens.

The wide array of amenities onsite allows homeowners to entertain in style. Common areas with children’s play zones keep little ones entertained without venturing too far, while outdoor BBQs make the entertainment clubhouse an ideal locale for summer entertaining. For smaller, more private, al fresco gatherings, every home has an outdoor gas hookup.

State-of-the-art equipment in the residentsonly gym, as well as a yoga and spinning studio, make it easy for residents to stay in great shape without travelling to—or paying for—the gym.

Add to this such thoughtful details as side-byside private garages and secure bike lockers and it might not be surprising that only five threebedroom townhomes remain. With Woodbridge Northwest offering a limited-time purchase incentive $10,000 for every home sold, these last few homes likely won’t last long.

Only five 1205 to 1227 sq. ft. three-bedroom townhomes left. The Savile Row presentation centre, located at 4991 Claude Avenue in Burnaby, is open Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment Monday to Friday. For more information, visit www.liveatsavilerow.com or call 604-833-1606.

COMING SOON to Langley’s much-loved Willoughby

Heights neighbourhood, Crest is an intimate collection of just 16 spacious, four-bedroom townhomes. Each offers more than 2,600-squarefeet of contemporary living space — meaning they’re perfect for families of all sizes.

“These homes have the ambiance and function of a single-family residence, but you gain back the time you would have spent doing chores like mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters,” says project marketer Michelle DesRosiers.

Intelligently designed floorplans include all the design features modern buyers insist on: gourmet kitchens, spa-inspired ensuites, fenced and landscaped yards, and main-floor powder rooms.

Every home also features natural gas features like a high-efficiency furnace, condensing water heater, gas range and barbeque outlet.

Connect with Life Life at Crest offers easy access to a diverse array of amenities. Retail from big box to boutique can be

And when you want to get physical, there’s sports and recreational options to satisfy every fitness level from casual to extreme — starting with the Langley Events Center or the Township’s extensive urban trail system.

Proud to be Local Brought to you by Essence Properties, a family-run company with over a decade of history building quality homes in the Fraser Valley area, Crest will begin sales this fall. Designed for today’s families, these four-bedroom homes are located at 19938 – 70th Avenue in Langley.

Lattice Townhomes at Milner Heights Your last chance to own a new home in the popular Milner Heights neighbourhood AFTER TEN YEARS of building Milner Heights, one of Langley’s most sought-after developments, respected builder Vesta Properties will be launching the final phase of this award winning neighbourhood in late fall. Surrounded by parks, open spaces, nature trails and ponds, yet so close to all the conveniences you could ask for, Milner Heights offers you the best of traditional living with all of the urban amenities. Following in the footsteps of the very popular Alder at Milner Heights and Prestwick at Milner Heights, Lattice at Milner Heights will be a beautiful addition to the neighbourhood and is sure to sell out fast. “These townhomes will be perfect for those looking for the very first time or those looking for a little more space in a wellestablished neighbourhood, close to all of Langley’s best amenities,” says Olivia Ohashi, Vesta’s assistant marketing manager.

The Milner Heights community is located at 208 Street and 72 Avenue, and is a 62 YPNEXTHOME.CA

thoughtfully-designed master-planned community offering home types for people at all stages of their lives. First-time homebuyers, families, and downsizers are all represented here — creating a vibrant neighbourhood people love to call home.

At Lattice Townhomes, Classic Westcoast Craftsman-style architecture create a varied, elegant streetscape, where front porches invite relaxing with a coffee or chatting with neighbours in the evening.

Consisting of 84 spacious two- and threebedroom townhomes of approximately 1,440 to 2,500 square feet, each home also offers bonus flex space, convenient main-floor powder rooms and secure single or double attached garages. Inside, Lattice townhomes become even more inviting. Contemporary interiors boast airy nine-foot ceilings, wide-plank laminate hardwood-style floors and open-concept kitchens (most with islands) featuring quartz countertops and premium stainless steel

appliances. Main bathrooms invite relaxation with a deep fiberglass soaker tub plus dual vanities in the master ensuite alongside a generous walk-in-closet. “A lot of thought has been put into the design of each townhome in order to maximize livable area” explains Olivia, “one that is inviting yet functional, with beautiful finishes and plenty of storage solutions.”

Lattice at Milner Heights is just around the corner from Langley’s best amenities, including Willoughby Town Centre, Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Costco, high-quality schools and familiar dining outlets. Transit via the Carvolth Exchange makes it easier to get everywhere faster than ever before.

With over 25 years of industry experience, Vesta Properties is committed to adding value to homeowner’s everyday lives. With more than 3,500 homes in over 40 award-winning neighbourhoods in both BC and Alberta, the “Vesta” name is synonymous with quality so you know you are investing in a home that is going to last.

Sales for townhomes will be starting this fall, so don’t miss out on your last opportunity to own at this award-winning community. Register today for more information about this great new addition to Milner Heights: milnerheights.ca.

REBGV September Report: Metro Vancouver home sales dipped below the 10-year monthly sales average for the first time since May 2014.

METRO VANCOUVER home sales totalled

2,253 in September 2016, a decrease of 32.6 per cent from the 3,345 sales recorded in September 2015 and a decrease of 9.5 per cent compared to August 2016 when 2,489 homes sold.

Last month’s sales were 9.6 per cent below the 10-year sales average for the month.

“Supply and demand conditions differ today depending on property type,” Dan Morrison, REBGV president said. “We’re seeing more demand for condominiums and townhomes today than in the detached home market.”

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled 4,799 in September 2016. This represents a decrease of one per cent compared to the 4,846 units listed in September 2015 and an 11.8 per cent increase compared to August 2016 when 4,293 properties were listed.

The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 9,354, a 13.4 per cent decline compared to September 2015 (10,805) and a 10 per cent increase compared to August 2016 (8,506).

The sales-to-active listings ratio for 68 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

September 2016 is 24.1 per cent. This is the lowest this ratio has been since February 2015. Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12 per cent mark, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it reaches the 20 to 22 per cent range in a particular community for a sustained period.

“Changing market conditions are easing upward pressure on home prices in our region,” Morrison said. “There’s uncertainty in the market at the moment and home buyers and sellers are having difficulty establishing price as a result. To help you understand the factors affecting prices, it’s important to talk with a REALTOR®.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $931,900. This represents a 28.9 per cent increase compared to September 2015 and a 0.1 per cent decline compared to August 2016.

Sales of detached properties in September 2016 reached 666, a decrease of 47.6 per cent from the 1,272 detached sales recorded in September 2015. The benchmark price for detached properties is $1,579,400. This represents a 33.7 per cent increase compared to September 2015 and a 0.1 per cent increase compared to August 2016.

Sales of apartment properties reached 1,218 in September 2016, a decrease of 20.3 per cent compared to the 1,529 sales in September 2015.The benchmark price of an apartment property is $511,800. This represents a 23.5 per cent increase compared to September 2015 and a 0.5 per cent decline compared to August 2016.

Attached property sales in September 2016 totalled 369, a decrease of 32.2 per cent compared to the 544 sales in September 2015. The benchmark price of an attached unit is $677,000. This represents a 29.1 per cent increase compared to September 2015 and a 0.1 per cent decline compared to August 2016.

Advice | QUEEN OF GREEN

The sustainable shopper’s guide to cleaners You don’t need chemicals to keep your home sparkling clean — especially these ones

By Lindsay Coulter

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

SHOPPING TIPS 1. Read the label: Opt for products that list ingredients (many don’t). Avoid those with hazard symbols.

2. Go fragrance-free: “Fragrance” is a mix of chemicals— some linked to cancer and neurotoxicity—that can trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma. Even “unscented” products may contain fragrance to mask chemical odors.

3. Wash with plain soap: Antibacterial soaps often contain triclosan (see below).

4. Freshen air naturally: Synthetic air fresheners mask odor with a mysterious mix of chemicals.

Ventilate properly— open a window.

5. Simplify: Choose the smallest number of quality products. some CHEMICALS TO AVOID Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs)/ nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) Found in liquid laundry detergents, stain removers, and all-purpose cleaners. Can mimic estrogen and have reproductive effects on aquatic organisms.

Monoethanalomine (MEA) / diethanolamine (DEA) / triethanolamine (TEA) 70 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Found in liquid laundry detergents, and all-purpose and floor cleaners.

Can react with nitrites to form cancercausing nitrosamines. MEA is also known to induce asthma. Harmful to fish and other wildlife.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QUATs) Found in bathroom cleaners and fabric softeners. Irritate and sensitize skin, cause allergies, and trigger asthma. Don’t readily degrade in the environment. Toxic to fish.

Sodium laureth sulfate (SLE) + sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) Found in dish soap with other ethoxylated alcohols (look for “eth” in the chemical name). Can be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, which may cause cancer, and is

persistent in the environment.

Triclosan Found in “antibacterial” products (e.g. soaps and disinfectants). May interfere with hormone function and contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Harmful to fish and other wildlife.

*This is not an exhaustive list of toxic chemicals found in household cleaners.

Habitat for Humanity Canada to undertake biggest build project ever Habitat’s 34th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project to build 150 homes over six days in 2017 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Canada

has marked World Habitat Day – by announcing that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn will be in Canada for Habitat for Humanity’s 34th Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project in July, 2017 to help build 150 homes for Canada’s 150th anniversary.

This will be Habitat Canada’s biggest build project ever and will take place in every province and territory across the country with President and Mrs. Carter focusing their efforts in Edmonton, Alberta, and in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

“It is an honour to host President and Mrs. Carter. We are grateful for their support and the many volunteers whose commitment to Habitat’s mission has helped us empower communities through affordable home ownership,” says Mark Rodgers, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada. “These are homes that provide families with the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life.”

Habitat Canada has a long history of creating affordable housing opportunities. One in seven households, including 735,000 children, do not have a decent and affordable place to call “home” in Canada. Every day thousands of families are forced to decide between paying rent or putting food on the table.

Habitat’s model of affordable home ownership helps to change that.

People living in Habitat homes not only help to build their own houses, they also pay affordable mortgages. Habitat for Humanity’s innovative approach helps working families on a new path to better, affordable living conditions that lead to improved health and stronger childhood development. Access to affordable home ownership can help decrease a family’s 74 YPNEXTHOME.CA

reliance on food banks and allow them to move out of social housing which frees up space for those on waiting lists.

Everyone in Canada has the right to a safe, affordable and decent place to live in and yet so many families do not have that. By supporting the Carter Work Project, Canadians can help build a more caring nation through volunteering – where neighbours help neighbours build homes that provide a safe and affordable foundation for a better life.

Since 1984, President and Mrs. Carter have traveled around the world with Habitat, to build and improve homes. Their time and effort helps to raise awareness of the critical need for affordable home ownership around the world. Inspiring millions over the last three decades, President and Mrs. Carter have worked alongside nearly 100,000 volunteers in 14 countries to build, renovate and repair more than 4,000 homes.

Participating affiliates are now working on identifying and procuring build sites as part of the Carter Work Project.

To learn how you can become a part of the 34th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project, visit habitat.ca/cwp. Information on future build sites will be updated as it becomes available in 2017.

Advice | SMALL SPACES

The real micro condo experience

By Kara Kuryllowicz

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MICRO-CONDOS ARE becoming a reality in Canada’s major urban centres and while some might question the livability of spaces that start at 300 sq. ft., I know you can love living in these tiny homes, because I’ve done it.

I myself lived in a 150-sq.-ft., justrenovated studio in the Latin Quarter in downtown Paris a decade ago, long before “micro condo” was a true term.

Tucked into a centuries-old, three-story structure built around a cobblestone courtyard and hidden behind a protective façade that ensured both serenity and safety, my brand-new-to-me studio was minutes by foot from every imaginable amenity as well as several Metro stations.

I could walk virtually everywhere and anywhere, which helped me saunter off the wine, chocolate and croissants but more importantly, it helped me get to know one of the world’s most extraordinary cities at street level.

Outdoor markets, bistros, museums, boulangeries, mosques, department stores, gardens, hammams, and the Seine were all footsteps away.

Today’s worldwide reality is that if you want quick, easy access to everything that represents the best of any urban centre, chances are you’re going to pay downtown or up-and-coming neighbourhood prices. Unless you’re fabulously wealthy, that also means you’ll happily sacrifice square footage to put convenience, accessibility and a city’s cultural smorgasbord at your toe tips.

80 YPNEXTHOME.CA

My small space forced tidiness and put the kibosh on the random acquisition of unnecessary odds and ends which freed up both time and money My studio on Rue de la Clef may have been tiny, but it was truly perfect. When interior designers and developers are challenged to cram everything into such a small space, their creativity has to coordinate between functional layouts to the selection of multipurpose appliances, furniture and accessories.

Be flexible, be adaptable and you can successfully entertain in your small home.

Twenty years my junior, my neighbour Zuzannah from Budapest and I hosted a romantic soiree for four, serving the appetizers at my place, taking two steps across my threshold to her mirror-image unit for the main course and back to mine for dessert.

Solo, I even welcomed six new friends (France, Sweden, the U.S., Yugoslavia, Spain) for a multi-course and incredibly

cosy, but still memorable dinner without ever leaving my own studio.

If you’re considering one of the new micro-condos coming on-stream in Toronto, know that the city outside your front door may matter more than the square footage that lies behind it.

My small space forced tidiness and put the kibosh on the random acquisition of unnecessary odds and ends which freed up both time and money. As importantly, it ensured I rarely gave in to my hermit tendencies and pushed me out the door and into everything that the City of Light had to offer day to day.

Was there a downside? My heart says “No!” but my head remembers “Yes!” My splendid studio didn’t feel quite as spacious or the lofty ceiling seem quite

as high once I’d deployed precise foot placement to climb the narrow ladder to my double bed. Its original, exposed wooden beams became a little less charming each time I whacked my skull wriggling under the duvet or sat up in a panic after a dead-of-night visit from the hostile spirit resident. Soaping an ankle guaranteed my rear end would pop out of the steamy shower stall into the cool winter air and the novelty of resting my head in the sink while on the commode soon paled.

Would I choose to live small today?

Absolutely!

Small studios in superb cities like Toronto can deliver adventure, freedom and inspire a curiosity and sense of adventure that can lead to a brand new world of wonder.

How do you choose what retail to go into a master-planned community

by Stephanie MacDonald IN A CITY CONFINED BY WATER,

mountains and bordering cities, it’s amazing that there is still a place left to build a master-planned community. But River District is not only master-planned, but also waterfront, and as people have started to move into the first phases, Wesgroup has just announced the new retail anchors for the town centre. Save on Foods, TD Bank, Westminster Savings and Starbucks – by Spring 2017 River District will be an amenity-rich walkable neighbourhood for its residents, as well as the rest of South Vancouver.

“We really wanted to make sure that the shops and services were frontloaded into the first phases of the project,” says Wesgroup’s David Wesik.

“Polygon already has two projects of about 400 homes, so there’s already people living down here, and when our Town Centre is done by 2018, River District will be three times the size of Granville Island, have more residents than Yaletown, and incorporate 25 acres of park space – a larger area than all of Gastown”. 500 residents have already moved in, with a further 1,100 homes projected for completion by Summer 2018, so this means a lot of potential customers.

How does the choosing process happen?, What are the most important considerations when choosing the best mix of retail, services and businesses for the residents?

“What’s unique about River District is that it is a small city within a city, and it’s in an area that was really underserved by amenities before. So these new businesses will be a benefit for many other residents of South Vancouver as well.”

With 7.2 million square feet of residential space, 230,000 square feet

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

of retail space, and 140,000 square feet of office space, River District still has many retail opportunities to come. With the major grocery store, two financial institutions and Starbucks, David says, “we’ve taken care of a big part of most people’s daily shopping habits. People want to get groceries, do banking and get a coffee.”

Romer’s Burger Bar is a great place for a casual meal and a drink, and soon there will be many more restaurants and cafes, particularly independents.

“Independents add character to a neighbourhood, so they are important. We get a wish list from some of our buyers and we try to incorporate those types of businesses, to get away from the sameness. Our job is to attract the right mix of businesses. Getting the large retailers in at first helps get in the office space filled as well.”

Wesgroup’s efforts at city building have also extended eastward, with the equally successful Brewery District master-planned community, which was also in an area which was underserved with shopping and amenities. Many other local companies such as MOSAIC, Cressey and Polygon have created livable and convenient masterplanned residential areas from Coquitlam to Chilliwack, and the 2010 Olympic Games were the impetus for two of the most important in recent memory: The Olympic Village in Southeast False Creek and the Richmond Oval in Richmond.

People are really starting to appreciate the benefits of living in a walkable, closeknit community, and getting the mix of retail and services right is a big step to getting there.

CANADA’S LARGEST COMMUNITY BUILDER

MADE IN MURRAYVILLE PART OF THE COMMUNITY A local builder with a long reputation of going above and beyond to ensure superior quality and buyer satisfaction, Infinity Properties also has a special attachment to the neighbourhood. “I grew up right here in Murrayville — about 10 minutes from The Belmont site,” says owner Tim Bontkes. “I know the business owners and entrepreneurs who have made Murrayville their home and invested in its evolution.”

And what an evolution it is. Even though The Belmont’s setting retains its quaint, rural charm a diverse array of urban amenities await exploration. Just down the street, literally, is the WC Blair Recreation Centre and for lively, shopping be sure to check the boutiques of Murrayville Square where you’ll also find an IGA Marketplace.

Schools at all levels are just minutes away, as is the Langley Events Centre for athletic opportunities.

For most people, though, no visit to Murrayville is complete without either coffee and lunch at Porters Bistro or a decadently tasty, home-baked confection from Tracycakes. And if you’re on the quest for farm-fresh veggies, look no farther than Ralph’s Farm Market where you can also snag a fabulous bouquet of flowers because, after all, who needs a special occasion to celebrate?

The Belmont at Heritage Made in Murrayville

NOW THERE’S AN EXCITING, new opportunity to do just that. Introducing The Belmont at Heritage, a collection of 66 executive condominium residences that builds on the success of the Heritage townhome community right next door.

Here you’ll discover West Coast modern architecture with dramatic black window frames, metal railings, and charcoal brick accents. Generous balconies too — perfect for outdoor dining or simply chilling out to watch the sunset.

SPACE AND COMFORT Inside, The Belmont homes are spacious — up to 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms and a comfy den. Finishing details are meticulously chosen to replicate the single-family experience — master ensuites with both a soaker tub and a shower, open concept great rooms where the kitchen becomes as much a social hub as a place to cook, and private patios or decks with gas outlets so you can just crank up the heater and enjoy outdoor dining in any season.

“We’ve had a fantastic response, especially from people who want to stay in the neighbourhood where they’ve raised their family but are now ready for the convenience of lock’n’go, single-level living,” says Brandon Trent, senior project manager. “The Belmont is currently the only new condominium actively selling in Murrayville, so these sophisticated buyers recognize that this is a rare opportunity to have it all.”

“A local builder with a long reputation of going above and beyond to ensure superior quality and buyer satisfaction, Infinity Properties also has a special attachment to the neighbourhood.”

The Belmont offers 66 executive condominium homes ranging from 600 to over 1,400 square feet.

The Belmont Home Store and model home are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 22084 Fraser Highway in Langley. For more information, visit madeinmurrayville.ca or call 778.277.1611
