How the Transit Vote Affects Home Buyers and Property Values M
etro Vancouverites are heading to the polls – or, in this case, their nearest post box – as mail-in voting continues for the emotionally charged Transportation and Transit Plebiscite – aka “the congestion tax”. Although the question is how to fund transit improvements, the debate has rapidly become about whether people believe TransLink should be trusted with more funds. Many issues like impact on housing affordability have been largely ignored. Even getting both sides to agree on how much the new tax would cost has proved impossible. “Yes” supporters say the 0.5 per cent sales tax will take $125 per year out of the average household’s pocket. “No” supporters say it will be more than double that amount – $258 per year.
Property Purchasing Power So what’s the tax’s impact on ability to purchase a home – especially for cash-strapped first time buyers? The new tax will reduce income and therefore borrowing power – no matter which side’s estimate is correct. “At today’s mortgage rates of 2.69 per

cent, if we take the higher estimate of $258, it would reduce a person’s home buying power approximately $5,400,” says Mark Belling, CEO of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing. He stresses, however, this is more than offset by the costs savings of living close to regular, reliable transit. For the rapidly expanding demographic of urbanites who embrace a carless lifestyle, transit also opens the possibility of an immediate bottom line benefit. “The average parking stall costs $25,000 to $30,000,” notes Robert Grimm, principal of Portrait Homes. “That could mean the difference between a studio or being able to afford a onebedroom home.”
Will New Transit Push Up House Prices? Over the long term, most industry watchers agree housing prices will continue to rise throughout Metro Vancouver due to its geographical constraints. And there are precedents to suggest they rise more rapidly when improved transit arrives. According to an Urban Analytics report commissioned by the Onni Group just

after the Canada Line was built, land values along the Cambie Corridor rose 19 per cent in the months leading up to completion. They climbed an additional 14 per cent in the first six months of operation – a 33 per cent increase in one year.
transit nodes like Marine Gateway, Metrotown or Brentwood allows more efficient land use – which means developers have the cost savings associated with economy of scale,” he says.
The Evergreen Effect
What about Immigrant and Offshore Buyers?
Further east, where the Evergreen Line is under construction, the Tri-Cities have shown steady but more moderate price increases, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. The rapid spike in prices many predicted would accompany the new SkyTrain line has failed to materialize. What has occurred is a construction boom that’s highlighting neighbourhoods like Burquitlam as a more desirable place to live. Howard Steiss, principal at Texor Homes, notes many buyers are attracted to the greater bang for their buck that’s possible when transit makes commuting easier. Although the new tax would add to the cost of construction materials, David Podmore, chairman and CEO of Concert Properties, points out this may not be as severe as it appears. “The higher density we see around
Overseas and immigrant buyers consider proximity to transit a must have. “Offshore markets are light years ahead of us in the way they look at transit,” says Bill Szeto, president of Otezs Project Marketing. “In any major Asian or European city, transit is the dominant way people move around.” However, Rolf Neufeld, managing director of credit structuring with Bank of Montreal, believes the vote will have little long-term impact. “Vancouver land values are going to keep rising regardless,” he says. “And there will be some transit improvements even if the vote is no.” So while Metro Vancouver awaits the results of the transit vote, Szeto makes a final comment. “Even 15 or 20 years ago, people asked why anyone would want to live next to the SkyTrain… now they ask why wouldn’t you want to live there?”

CITYHOMES OFFERS LUXURIOUS AND DISTINCTIVE
Tsawwassen Living
There’s a new project coming soon that is set to change the way people think about Tsawwassen living. Century Group introduces CityHomes, a boutique-style masterplanned community offering distinctive homes that are similar to townhouse living. Instead of going into a lobby and sharing communal hallways to reach your home, these one-, two- and threelevel residences, ranging from 700 to 1,900 square feet, all feature their own private entry. “This is a whole new and exciting style of living,” says Doug Lucier, marketing and sales manager, Sutton Group Seafair Realty. CityHomes is a stunning collection of 41 low-rise West Coast-style character residences showcased by natural stone, stucco, HardiePlank accents and fully landscaped yards and communal courtyard. Nestled along a tree-lined street, CityHomes fit seamlessly into a quiet community in the heart of sunny Tsawwassen. The exclusive design offers the perfect blend of urban and rural living. Minutes from your new home, you’ll love the lifestyle and sense of community that comes with having fabulous boutique shopping and services at your doorstep. Each open-concept home comes complete with its own secure underground parking stall and minimal maintenance to worry about.
“Many of the three-bedroom homes will have two parking stalls,” adds Lucier. Inside, the homes promise finishes that will inspire. From the luxurious hardwood flooring to the nine-foot ceilings and lofts, to the gourmet inspired kitchens with quartz countertops and Energy Star KitchenAid stainless steel gourmet appliance package and stunning soft-close cabinetry, everything speaks to sophisticated and elegant living. “Right now, choose from two professionally designed colour palettes – Sandcastle and Beach,” says Lucier, adding that some of the patios or decks are perfect for entertaining family and friends. Living at CityHomes puts you in the middle of everything. Located in thriving heart of Tsawwassen, where small town life still exists with friendly people and a charming downtown core, CityHomes greets you with a walkable neighbourhood close to protected parklands, recreational activities, walking and cycling paths. Shopping and dining is handy too, just a short drive away. Everything is on your doorstep, including being only a short drive to the ferries. Meanwhile, you are only 20-minute drive from Vancouver International Airport, half an hour from downtown Vancouver and for shoppers bound for Bellingham and Seattle, the US border is just 30 minutes to the south. Direct access to transit and the highway
takes away some of the stress of daily commuting. For those passionate golfers, there are five golf courses within a very short distance away. CityHomes comes to you from awardwinning Century Group. For more than five decades, Century Group has become synonymous with creating neighbourhoods that people want to live, work and play in. Defined by walkable streets connected to natural landscapes, the developer is renowned for communities that offer the best in lifestyles for today’s busy urbanites. With all that CityHomes has going for it and with prices for a two-bedroom starting from under $360,000, the best part of CityHomes is calling it home!
