headwaters creekside community Best South Surrey Location for Quiet and Convenience
S
outh Surrey has recently been infused with a new urban lifestyle that includes affordable home ownership, trendy shops and restaurants, and great walk-ability uncommon to suburban communities. The area also benefits from amazing rivers, trails and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Daytime canoe tripping can easily lead to a dressed-up dinner on the town, all within the same neighbourhood.
“You can hear the birds chirping and the frogs croaking here in South Surrey, and within minutes, you can be on the Pacific Highway or at the Peace Arch border crossing,” says Andrea Hakesley, a longtime resident of the area and sales manager for Headwaters Creekside Community. Headwaters is nestled into the Rosemary Heights neighbourhood of South Surrey, literally backing on to a charming creek, and surrounded by tremendous green space that provides a true, quiet tranquility. The four-story, condominium community is complete, with construction vehicles long gone, and homes ready for owners to move in and enjoy. The tucked-away location is a perfect choice for privacy, but it also has great accessibility to major transportation routes to Vancouver, Langley and the U.S. border. “Headwaters has the best location in South Surrey — it’s away from the hustle and bustle of busier streets, yet just minutes from great shopping at newer pedestrian malls like Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners,” says Josie Gordon, marketing manager with Pacesetter Marketing. “Add the nearby golf, beaches and abundance of natural parks, and this becomes an enviable tranquil oasis for new home buyers and downsizers alike.” The peaceful setting is perfect for the quiet of Headwaters, and brings a lovely sense of community through friendly neighbours and wonderful
shared amenities spaces. The overall property is unique to the area, offering a range of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom layouts that include a work / live floorplan with a fully contained, 220 sq.ft commercial office space with separate entrance and bath. Shared space includes the Live Work Play centre, with rentable office space, copy centre, screening rooms and party space. Each Headwaters home is stylish and functional with interiors designed by the award-winning False Creek Designs. Gourmet kitchens feature stainless steel appliance packages, polished granite countertops and under-cabinet recessed lighting. Spa-inspired bathroom are luxurious with Bianco Venato Marble countertops, rain shower heads and minimalist soaker tubs. Colour schemes soothe with choice of espresso or vanilla, and are reflected in finishing materials, flooring and cabinetry, including beautiful built-in closet organizers. Condominium homes in South Surrey are proving to be a growing trend, with the current market showing increases in sales in the area, continued development and interest in the larger community, combined with current low mortgage rates. Priced to sell, Headwaters is a sound investment. With financial incentives currently offered, you can own at Headwaters with monthly payments starting at only $716/month and only 5% down — making right now the best time to buy! Headwaters is located at 15428 - 31st Avenue in Surrey. Of the 20 homes remaining, pricing starts at $287,900 for 1-bedroom floorplans, $320,900 for 2-bedroom homes and $417,900 for spacious 3 bedroom floorplans. Three fully furnished display homes are currently open, showing a range of layouts and views, and is open daily (except Fridays) from noon until 5pm. More information about Headwaters is available at www.headwaterscommunity.com or by contacting 604.560.5535 or info@headwaterscommunity.com.

angley offers something for everyone, from city to country, trendy to traditional. Willoughby is one of several distinct communities within the city, and is quickly growing a reputation for family-friendly and affordable housing. Wonderfully situated within a quick drive to Highway 1 and the new Park & Ride station, it’s also a short drive south into the city centre for shopping, recreation and much more.
design meets family function to meet the needs of the youngest family member through to oldest of the clan. The open concept layout of the townhomes includes galley kitchens and main floor powder rooms — great for guests as well as toddlers. The homes are defined by the motto, “Play. Love. Grow.” and each interior is testament to that notion; perfect for families who are always on the go.
Arcadia is a brand-new residential community in Willoughby that will offer a collection of just 88 family-oriented townhomes. The community includes plenty of outdoor green space and a separate children’s play area that is adjacent to an ecological greenway. Nature and “critter corridor” may be steps away, but urban conveniences are also nearby, a stone’s throw in the other direction.
Arcadia townhomes make it easy for families to get along inside as well as out — building design includes extra concrete between floor levels for better sound control. Other special features throughout the development include radiant heating to keep the temperature just right, continuous hot water and use of water and heat-resistant HardiBoard on the exterior in place of regular vinyl siding. Thoughtful, quality construction and design details are evident throughout each home as well as the overall townhome community.
“Willoughby Town Centre is across the street, offering the ultimate remedy for busy families’ shopping lists.

mortgage matters
Should you go with a fixed-rate mortgage or a variable-rate mortgage?
D
eciding which of these mortgage rates is right for you depends largely on your needs and your general approach to personal finance. Consider the following list to get a better idea as to which mortgage rate is for you:
You Should Probably Get a Variable-Rate Mortgage If: • Your income can handle changes in your required mortgage payment based on changes in your variable rate • You want to save the most money on interest payments
• Fixed interest rates are not expected to decrease any time soon and variable rates are lower than fixed rates • A drastic increase in fixed rates is likely in the near future
You Should Probably Get a Fixed-Rate Mortgage If: • You have an income that varies greatly from month to month • You do not like changes in your budget • Fixed-rates are predicted to increase dramatically in the near future and you are already leaning toward the fixed-rate option
centum Pacific mortgages inc., 421 Pacific Street, Vancouver, bc V6Z 2P5

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver* is currently $631,600. This represents a 5 per cent increase compared to August 2013.
Sales of detached properties in August 2014 reached 1,158, an increase of 10.1 per cent from the 1,052 detached sales recorded in August 2013, and an 85.6 per cent increase from the 624 units sold in August 2012. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 6.6 per cent from August 2013 to $984,300.
“Broadly speaking, home prices in the region are continuing to experience modest, incremental gains,” Harris said.
Sales of apartment properties reached 1,126 in August 2014, an increase of 10.6 per cent compared to the 1,018 sales in August 2013, and a 55.3 per cent increase compared to the 725 sales in August 2012.
