Today’s homebuyers are online-savvy People are looking to the Internet before purchasing a home: CMHC TRICIA LESLIE The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s 2010 Mortgage Consumer Survey reveals a modern truth: the Internet has become an important resource for first-time homebuyers. Released last week, the survey shows that 89 per cent of first-time homebuyers indicated they looked online for mortgage-related information, while 84 per cent researched mortgage terms and conditions before deciding on a “(Homebuyers) mortgage option. More than twocan make thirds of those a bettersurveyed – 69 per cent – used an informed online calculator homebuying to compare differdecision ent options when shopping for a utilizing the home. information As a result, 85 they found per cent of firsttime homebuyers online.” noted they have a good understanding of the size of mortgage they could afford before buying a new home, CMHC reports. According to the online survey, the average Canadian homebuyer takes 12 months to plan their purchase. The survey polled more than 2,500 active mortgage users and asked participants a series of questions designed to gauge the attitudes and sentiments of recent mortgage consumers in Canada. The survey has been conducted since 1999, CMHC notes. CONTINUED ON P.2

Bring the indoors outside Whether planning a staycation or simply, new patio furniture, enjoy your outdoor space this summer MAGGIE CALLOWAY Your family has decided to vacation at home this summer. They are not alone, as an amazing number of people are deciding to forego travelling, but with a bit of a twist.
The money they would have spent on a vacation will now be spent making their outdoor space an enjoyable place, where the whole family will want to spend time. Kenorah Construction and Design owner Graham Collins says there is a definite shift in the way people are living in their homes. “Over half our clients are requesting either extensive outdoor living space designed as part of a major renovation, or at the very least, services such as electrical and natural
gas outlets installed and ready for future use,” Collins says. Many new homes in Metro Vancouver now come with electrical or gas already hooked up to service outdoor barbecues and fireplaces as well. People are now approaching their outdoor space with the same care as the interior of the home, Collins says. CONTINUED ON P.2

Mosaic Homes’ Peter Edmonds says today’s homebuyers are online-savvy. Above, a patio at Mosaic’s Knoll.
Armed with information, consumers can make a better purchase CONTINUED FROM P.1
“Canadians confirmed that they take the time to do research prior to buying a home,” says Pierre Serré, CMHC vice-president of insurance product and business development. ‘Informed homebuyers contribute to the continued strength of Canada’s housing system.” The survey notes that 81 per cent of recent homebuyers indicate they are comfortable with the level of their current mortgage debt, while 68 per cent feel there is a strong chance they will pay off their “Informed sooner homebuyers mortgage than required. contribute More than a quarter – 27 per to the cent – have already continued taken steps to pay strength of down their mortgage through lumpCanada’s sum payments or housing through increased system.” regular payments. Well-respected Metro Vancouver builder Mosaic Homes is known for its high-quality communities throughout the Lower Mainland. The company is currently selling new homes in Coquitlam and Surrey neighbourhoods, with more local communities in the planning. Mosaic Homes’ Peter Edmonds says today’s homebuyers are “definitely, without a doubt” online-savvy. “We consider online to be one of the most valuable tools in the homebuying process,” Edmonds says, noting that the depth and the wealth of information available online is astounding. “They can make a better-informed homebuying decision utilizing the information they found online.” Ultimately, it puts the consumer in better control of the entire homebuying process, because it holds the builders up to greater accountability, Edmonds says. But the more education, the better, he adds. “Consumers feel more relaxed when they’re armed with information ... it helps them make the right decision for themselves and it helps validate the purchase.”
Summertime outdoors...
the living’s easy Off the front: Making outdoor living both functional and elegant is importants
– Graham Collins, Kenorah CONTINUED FROM P.1
Whether that’s due to the emergence of superior outdoor products that pushed the focus to outdoor living, or due to the homeowner’s desire to spend more time outdoors – in a more elegant way – that pushed manufacturers to make more product available is not certain, he says, and likens it to the “chicken and the egg” adage. “Certainly the availability of great products has triggered people’s thinking about what is possible,” says Collins. “The accordion-style doors – which fold back on themselves, blurring the division between the interior and exterior space – the stainless steel fireplaces, the kitchen equipment specially made for the outdoor kitchen and can remain outside year-round without rusting ... all this contributes to making outdoor living both functional and elegant.” Collins gives a nod to the amazing amount of information available to homeowners these days, from home and garden television to online to publications such as New Local Home, a variety of media exposes people to ideas and products on a daily basis. Clients often attend the first meeting with pages torn out of newspapers and magazines to demonstrate their taste and wish for their new living space, he says. Kenorah automatically asks clients, even if they are doing an indoor renovation, if they have plans for a future outdoor space, Collins notes, because such a plan could have huge

ramifications, such as a change in the roofline to accommodate a covered terrace. Other things they take into consideration are power, water and gas lines for backyard items including heaters, pools, barbecues or water features. “The main question homeowners should spend time considering is just how your family plans on using the new space,” Collins says. “Is it pure entertainment, is it more family based? Is it a place you just want to sit and relax or do you plan on preparing food and dining?” Collins likely knows what he’s talking about. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association recently announced the finalists for Metro Vancouver’s first-ever home renovation awards, and Kenorah leads the way with 10 nominations, including a nomination for Best Outdoor Living Space. Sherry Forbes of Inform Interiors Inc. in Vancouver’s trendy Gastown says outdoor furniture has gone high-end and high-fashion. “What we are seeing is price is no object,” she

says. “What’s important is how they actually use that outdoor space. The first sunny day we have they are here in droves.” Royal Botania from Belgium is a best seller in outdoor furniture, Forbes notes. “It’s high-end but it has a really great line from modern to the tried-and-true teak,” she says. A company that started designing furniture for cruise lines, Royal Botania now creates residential outdoor furniture as well, with low maintenance in mind, says Forbes. “Their collection called O-Zon (Ozone), for instance, uses steel in the furniture,” she says. “Black is a very popular colour in outdoor these days, it’s very sophisticated and looks fabulous against the green of grass and plants.” Whether a homeowner dreams of a linendraped dining table placed under an arbour, decorated with flowers and candles, or a minimalistic, modern outdoors space complemented with a sleek, stainless steel barbecue, it is obvious they have plenty of places to go in Metro Vancouver for help in creating their personal, perfect outdoor space.

Recreational property that’s close to home Patio lanterns twinkle in the summer evening air, gently swaying every now and then with a breeze that helps make the warm night more enjoyable. Laughter can be heard as neighbourhood children play one last game of kick the can and, not too far away, there is cheerful singing around the crackling orange flames of a campfire. During the day, there is much exploring to do at a nearby creek and hiking and biking trails, and Cultus Lake always looks inviting for swimming, boating, kayaking or fishing. Lakeside picnics are always popular, and it’s not unusual to see riders on horseback taking in the scenery. At The Cottages at Cultus Lake, it’s easy to create fond summertime memories that will last a lifetime. That’s why Cultus Country Investments Ltd. is offering brand-new, cottage-style homes in an exclusive enclave at the south end of Cultus Lake in Chilliwack.

and notes that the developer fast-tracked construction as soon as the HST was announced. “Last summer, 30 cottages were complete. This summer, there’s 100,� Hare says. The Cottages at Cultus homes range from $379,900 to $629,900, so homebuyers could save approximately $44,093 if they invest in one of the higher-priced resort properties before July 1, Hare says. Out of the 218 cottages that will eventually be built, 140 have already sold. Many who have bought homes already make use of, or live in, the community. “Some people do live here yearround,� Hare says. “The majority of buyers use it as a second home, a resort purchase ... many people buy it as a legacy purchase.� The development’s location makes it popular with most buyers, making it close enough for people to come out just for the day, if they choose, Hare notes. “We have high demand for our cottages because of their proximity to Metro Vancouver and their unique design and craftsmanship,� he says.

a showcase of new homes Open House:
A Showcase of New Homes opens its doors May 13 Home sweet home. Home is where the heart is. Be it ever so humble ... There are so many common quotes and sayings that mention the home, it is obvious that ‘home’ has been important to the human family for centuries. Home means safety and refuge, comfort and warmth. It gives the homeowners a sense of pride as well as a property to showcase and maintain in their own style. Home is where special memories happen, whether at the dinner table or around the Christmas tree or gathered in the kitchen. Starting next Thursday, the public will have a chance to see what’s hip and hot in brand-new

homes throughout Metro Vancouver. That’s when the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association’s spring event starts. Open House: A Showcase of New Homes runs May 13 to 16 at 22 home sites spread throughout Metro Vancouver, from North Vancouver to Abbotsford. In total, 50 showhomes from 16 local builders will be on display for the four-day event. GVHBA CEO Peter Simpson says it’s a great idea for people who are hunting for a new home to come and check out the event, but also, for those who aren’t necessarily planning to purchase in the near future. “It is a good opportunity to showcase the latest and greatest in new home design,” Simpson says, adding that includes everything from interior design, colour schemes, flooring, and wallpaper to the building itself and what products were used to construct it. “It’s a tour of ideas, basically ... people can pick up free ideas on design.” The builders who are participating in this year’s showcase are all high-calibre developers with established reputations in the Metro Vancouver area, Simpson notes.
Vesta Properties’ Milner Heights offers a variety of new homes to potential buyers in a central Langley neighbourhood. Check them out during the GVHBA’s Open House: A Showcase of New Homes May 13 to 16.
The GVHBA holds the free event twice every year, in the spring and fall. It’s neat to see what new trends are taking shape, whether it’s green building techniques and products or finding out the latest in interior décor, he says. A self-confessed “housing junkie,” Simpson has been involved in the local housing industry for years, but says he always manages to notice something that’s new on the Open House tour, no matter how familiar he is with the sector. “If you’re in the market for a new home, this is an opportunity to come and see what’s new in the market,” he says. “There’s a good range of prices and homes.” From chic condominiums to luxurious singlefamily houses, Open House: A Showcase of New Homes features dwellings to suit every homeowners’ income. And that’s not even touching on some of the amazing resort-style amenity facilities and clubhouses at many of the multi-family developments. From pools and fitness centres to entertainment lounges, guest suites and games rooms, the sky is the limit. “Some of the amenity buildings these places have are among the best in North America – not just Canada,” Simpson says. He’s looking forward to the event and hopes to see you there. Visit www.gvhba.org for more information.

Wallmark Homes is also participating in the showcase event with Birchwood Estates, a community of single-family homes in a quiet, yet central Coquitlam neighbourhood.
ParkLane Homes’ Waterfront residences at Bedford Landing come with river-front views of the Fraser River in a peaceful Fort Langley community. See for yourself during the Open House event.

The developer over-delivered,” says Hare. “This developing recreational community is connecting and growing in ways we couldn’t have imagined when we started building. It has been really exciting to watch.” Visit www.cultuslakecottages.com for more information.

Kore: Kits living at its best
Live in a neighbourhood youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love One of the most desirable places to live in Vancouver is Kitsilano, fondly referred to as Kits. The eclectic community, a mixture of history, culture and trendy businesses, is convenient to everything. From Kits Beach to UBC, from downtown Vancouver to the Planetarium to Bard on the Beach in the summer, Kits is close. Vancouver International Airport is a short trip away, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a short hop across the Burrard Street Bridge to several cultural institutions. Commuting to work is a walk, a bike ride, or a quick bus ride or SkyTrain jaunt away. As well as Kits Beach, time can be spent strolling the sands at Spanish Banks and Jericho beaches or, perhaps, participating in a game of beach volleyball or ultimate (frisbee). Jericho has its own sailing club and tennis club, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ocean Access Community Centre to explore. Shopping is special in Kits, with dozens of unique boutique stores not found anywhere else, and when it comes to food, there is almost an embarrassment of choice. Every kind of ethnic cuisine is available, from Indian to Lebanese to Thai to Vietnamese. Brunch is always popular at CafĂŠ
Toyo Developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kore, at the corner of West Third and Burrard, offers brand-new homes with a Kitsilano address to homebuyers.

WELCOME TO RIVER GREEN, THE CENTRE OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS How you live is profoundly shaped by where you live. Those choosing to live at River Green, the newest waterfront community next to the Richmond Olympic Oval, will discover that their neighbourhood inspires health and wellness.
COME HOME TO HEALTHY LIVING
The City of Richmond is the picture of health, with residents living almost four years longer than the national average. In fact, the International Awards for Livable Communities in London, UK honoured Richmond as the overall winner for Healthy Lifestyle. To complement this focus, every River Green home will be within walking distance of the Richmond Olympic Oval â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a facility transformed after 2010 into one of the premier sport, recreation and wellness centres in North America.
THE LEGACY OF THE OVAL
The Richmond Olympic Oval is a venue celebrated for its awardwinning design as well as its remarkable breadth of services.
THE OVAL PLANS INCLUDE:
Â&#x192; 2 Olympic-size ice rinks, with a removable board system to
allow for short-track skating and special events on a 50,000 square foot sheet of ice Â&#x192; 42,000 square feet of hardwood courts with 6 basketball, 6 volleyball and 14 badminton courts Â&#x192; VTXDUH IHHW RI KLJK SHUIRUPDQFH V\QWKHWLF VSRUW Ă RRULQJ that includes: Â&#x2021; PHWUH ODQH UXQQLQJ WUDFN Â&#x2021; PHWUH ODQH VSULQW WUDFN Â&#x2021; LQGRRU VRFFHU KDQGEDOO FRXUWV Â&#x2021; YROOH\EDOO FRXUWV Â&#x2021; EDGPLQWRQ FRXUWV Â&#x192; VTXDUH IRRW Ă&#x20AC;WQHVV FHQWUH

BEYOND THE OVAL
River Green will be a tonic for those who enjoy taking their exercise in a natural setting. Close to home, residents will be able to jog, cycle or walk through the community, enjoying the breezes rolling off the river.

HEALTHY SURROUNDINGS
Chris Phillips, the developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape architect, has been blending the best of nature and urban living for three decades. At River Green, his designs are founded on his dedication to native planting and textures that create beauty in harmony with nature. A timber boardwalk will link the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play area to a rest area, while basalt stepping stones create a graduated approach to the water feature. River Green will be home to those who embrace health and wellness, along with the exceptional standards of their home. ,W ZLOO UHGHĂ&#x20AC;QH TXDOLW\ RI OLIH IRU UHVLGHQWV RI WKH /RZHU 0DLQODQG

Modern, elegant living at Kore
Get a home with a view in Kitsilano CONTINUED FROM P.12
Zen, appies are a must at Nevermind, and dinner at Hell’s Kitchen is always an amazing dining experience. The famous vegetarian restaurant, The Naam, has won awards every year for its cuisine. Open 24 hours, the facility offers live blues, folk and jazz music every night. Even if there’s a line-up – and there usually is – the wait is well worth it, as The Naam is as much a part of Kits as the ocean. It is in this neighbourhood Toyo Development has built its fantastic Kore project. Designed by WT Leung architects and supported by Lot 30 Design Inc., this six-storey building contains 31 units of one- and two-bedroom residences and penthouses. Located at the corner of West Third and Burrard, Kore is modern, elegant and beautifully practical. “This location is truly fantastic – you are part of the Kits lifestyle,” says Kore marketing spokeswoman Kristine Peng. “You are right in the heart of what makes Kitsilano so special.” The design of each home has been
