“Buy Smart” With the Help of GVHBA’s 2017 Homebuyer Forum
F
or both first-time home buyers and those returning to the real estate market, there is one golden rule to follow – and that is to “prepare before you purchase,” according to the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA). On March 1, 2017, the association is holding its 23rd annual Homebuyer Forum, presented by BC Housing, to help local buyers do just that. Bob de Wit, CEO of the GVHBA, said, “The demand for real estate continues to outpace supply, adding pressure on the buyers across Metro Vancouver... When it comes to getting into the market, gathering market intelligence will help empower people to buy smart.” This market intelligence will come in the form of expert industry seminars and panel discussions during the free evening event at SFU Harbour Centre, which is being held on the same day that the new mortgage stress test is implemented. The sessions scheduled are:
7.00-7:45pm: What Product is Right for Me? – Highrise, lowrise, wooden structures, concrete, locations, amenities and more are reviewed. “Understanding mortgage options, the BC HOME loan, how much one can afford under the “’stress test’ regulations, reviewing market data and financial forecasts and knowing how to work with a REALTOR® in what continues to be a very strong seller’s market will help relieve pressure and keep the buyer focused on their end goal – owning a home,” added de Wit. Forum participants confirmed to date include: • Shayne Ramsay, CEO, BC Housing; • Wendy Acheson, VP & Registrar, BC Housing; • Robyn Adamache, Senior Market Analyst, Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation; • Tony Gioventu, Executive Director, Condominium Home Owners’ Association of BC; and
• Dan Morrison, President, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. A Marketplace will run concurrently from 3pm until 9pm, offering attendees the chance to interact with real estate and industry specialists and view a variety of housing forms and product from municipalities across Metro Vancouver. The event, sponsored by REW.ca and its publisher Glacier Media, will be held on March 1. The event opens at 3pm and runs until 9pm, with seminar
sessions from 5pm to 7.45pm. SFU Harbour Centre is located at 515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver (cross street is Seymour). The forum is free to attend but requires registration, and all attendees are asked to bring a donation to the Surrey Food Bank. The forum seminars will also be streamed online, which also requires registration. For more information and to register for attending in person or online, go to www.gvhba.org/homebuyer_forum
5.00-5:45pm: Getting Ready to Buy – Expert panel featuring review of the BC HOME loan, CMHC stress test, new home warranty products 6.00-6:45pm: Market Intelligence – Where to buy, how to buy, condo rules and realities of raising a family without a picket fence

New Heights of Family Living at Plateau in South Surrey A
fter spending a few frustrating months looking for a resale home, Ashifa Jumani decided to consider a new build. “I spent so much time last year going to open houses only to find out the homes had multiple bids, and they all went for more than the asking price,” says Jumani. The professional mother of a sevenyear-old daughter began researching some of the top Lower Mainland builders. She was impressed with what she read about Foxridge Homes. “Foxridge has a reputation as a fantastic builder that stands behind their homes,” she adds. “When I visited the sales centre at Plateau at Grandview Heights, I knew this is where I wanted to live.” Jumani says the whole purchasing process was stress free. “I was able to choose everything, from the colour to the cabinetry, to finishing the basement (upgrade) to make my home really mine,” says Jumani. “I can’t
stress enough how professional its sales team is.” The award-winning developer’s Plateau at Grandview Heights is a collection of 65 single-family homes, all between 2,650 and 2,700 square feet, in the highly desirable Grandview Heights neighbourhood of South Surrey. “Phase 1 (19 residences) sold out in two months,” says Jennifer Collins, Foxridge Homes project sales manager. “Buyers were drawn to Foxridge’s reputation, but also because they like that Plateau is in an established neighbourhood with great amenities, yet away from the busy roads.” Foxridge is now preselling Phase 2 and is expecting to open a brand-new show home in late spring. The contemporary, open-concept, three-bedroom homes feature 10-foothigh ceilings, hardwood flooring on the main floor, a stunning linear fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen with premium cabinetry, a Samsung stainless-steel
appliance package, a kitchen island and quartzcountertops. They also boast a two-car garage and a fully fenced backyard. “Some homes will even offer a threecar driveway with a detached two-car garage, which is a rare find in new home builds,” adds Collins. Purchasing a Foxridge home means buyers have exclusive access to its Foxridge Design Centre, where home buyers can personalize and customize their new home – from flooring to faucets, cabinets to counters, and much more. Plateau at Grandview Heights is centrally located to Morgan Crossing, Grandview Corners and the new stateof-the-art recreational facility, the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre. Besides being close to parks and trails, recreation and shopping, the homes are a short drive to Crescent Beach and Ocean Park. South Surrey also has a reputation for having excellent schools, including
the award-winning Southridge, a co-ed private school catering to kindergarten to Grade 12 students, which is only fi ve minutes away from the Plateau community. For more than six decades, Foxridge Homes has been the largest builder of single-family-detached homes in Western Canada. They have built a reputation for designing classic, energy efficient homes for today’s busy families. Known for innovation, inspired floor plans, and a wonderful sense for colour and texture, they build homes that echo the way people live, work and play. Plateau at Grandview Heights Presales Centre, located at 15879 29A Avenue, Surrey, is open daily from noon to 5pm. These stunning homes start at $1.2 million (including GST). Tentative occupancy is set for September 2017. For more information, call 604-560-6438, email plateau@qualico.com, or visit www.foxridgehomes.ca/metrovancouver
