BUYING YOUR
FIRST HOME? Are you thinking about buying your first home? Perhaps you’ve already started looking for that dream place to call your own. Or maybe you’re already a homeowner, but are downsizing or returning to the market after many years. Whatever your situation, if you’re not familiar with today’s market and current financial rules, the prospect of taking on a home purchase can be quite daunting. You need to know the answers to questions such as: • Can I afford a home in today’s hot market? • Should I buy a resale property or a new home? • What are the new lending rules? • How much can I withdraw tax-free from my RRSP for a down payment?
GO TO
REW.CA /NEWS TO READ THESE STORIES AND MUCH MORE REAL ESTATE NEWS AND ADVICE
• Do I have to pay Property Transfer Tax? • What other closing costs are involved? • What insurance do I need? Fortunately, all these questions and many more will be answered at the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) Annual Seminar for New Home Buyers. Now in its 21st year, this free-to-attend session always attracts hundreds of would-be homeowners eager to learn about the process and maximize their chances of landing that dream property. In fact, the seminar has become so popular that, for the first time this year, GVHBA will be running two seminars – one at Surrey City Hall on Tuesday February 10, and the second at the SFU Downtown campus in Vancouver on Thursday February 12.
Mortgage Lenders Set For New Rate War After Interest Rate Cut
Both seminars run from 6-9 pm, and will pack in the following essential information sessions: • “What Consumers Need to Know about Buying a New Home and Home Warranty Insurance” – presented by Home Protection Office, Division of BC Housing • “The New Lending Rules for Home Buyers” – presented by Dominion MacKlem Mortgages • “How Realtors Can Help, Market Update, Pricing, Choosing a Realtor” – presented by REBGV • “Housing Market Overview” – presented by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation • “What Will Your Lawyer Do for You? Closing Costs, Tips for Buying a New Home” – presented by McQuarrie
Ask the Expert: Difference Between Deposit and Down Payment?
Free seminar for first-time and returning home buyers aims to demystify process • “FortisBC: Your Key to Savings” – presented by FortisBC GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit said, “With new home development continuing to rise in so many communities across Metro Vancouver, consumers have a lot of choices to consider. Knowing where the markets are hot and what developers are offering is part of buying smarter.” He added, “This is a one-stop information shop for new home buyers, so anyone considering buying a home should come to this free seminar.” Spaces are limited, so you must register in advance to snag your spot. Register online at www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288. Although the seminar is free, attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

A PENTHOUSE TOUR OF THE PRIVATE RESIDENCES AT HOTEL GEORGIA Most of us have wondered what it’s like to live in a vast, multimillion-dollar, hyperluxury condo in downtown Vancouver. Perhaps you’re even a luxury real estate buyer with a few million burning a hole in your pocket, wondering which fabulous downtown pad to call your home. Either way, the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia will have no doubt caught your eye, towering 48 floors above the downtown core. So, to sate all our curiosity, REW.ca jumped at the offer of a private tour of the penthouse and the five sub-penthouses that are currently listed for sale. The tour begins in the glamorous lobby with a $250,000 crystal chandelier, where REW is greeted by Bruce Langereis, the president of developer Delta Land Group who lives in the building and is its ambassador, and managing broker Yvonne Drinovz. In the plush elevator it is apparent that Langereis is a popular face around the building – he is greeted
as an old friend by a resident, with whom he jokes about a dish of hers that he has clearly enjoyed. Despite the building’s luxury, there is an immediate sense of community. On the 45th floor we enter one of five listed sub-penthouses – the smartly staged south-facing 4501, boasting 270-degree views and one of the iconic triangular balconies jutting out high above Howe Street. It has four bedrooms, a den and a media room in 3,784 square feet, along with a sizable but not huge living room, a generous dining space and an open-plan kitchen with top-notch finishings and appliances. The master bedroom has incredible English Bay, Stanley Park and Lion’s Gate Bridge views – how many people living downtown could watch fireworks from their bed? There’s a beautiful dressing room and a white marble master bathroom with classy touches like a cast-iron tub and in-floor heating. The second bed-
room has a bathroom and walk-in closet, plus its own entrance from the hallway – a fire regulation requirement that happily turns the space into an ideal nanny, granny or guest suite. The result of having so many rooms in the unit is a sense of intimacy and livability rather than excess luxury. Despite the huge floorplan, no individual room is particularly large – making this a functional home designed for a family and visiting friends rather than wealthy individuals who might prefer larger entertaining spaces. The six sub-penthouses, on floors 45-47, each take up half of a floor – with one, the south-facing 47th-floor unit, already sold for over $8 million. The five remaining listed units are on the market for between $7.7 million and $8.1 million, and range from 3,483 to 3,784 square feet. Upstairs, in the 48th-floor penthouse, it is a different story again. It is a rare true penthouse, taking up the entire top floor
and completely encircling the elevator core. And, aside from one lavishly staged corner, the penthouse is currently a vast empty concrete shell, waiting for whoever takes it on to do with it what they will. “They could put a bowling alley in this section,” quips Langereis. Of course, it also has incredible 360-degree views and several large balconies, including a west-facing covered terrace currently home to an outdoor kitchen and bar. Fireworks party, anyone? So how much is the penthouse going for? A cool $18 million. “It’s not a hardand-fast price,” says Langereis. “There’s some negotiating room for the right buyer. We have built a community in the building, so it’s partly about getting the right residents in the penthouse that will reflect the community that we have become.” Go to REW.ca for our full photo gallery of the penthouse tour and the building’s amenities, and for links to more information.
