Vancouver Real Estate and the Chinese New Year of the Fire Rooster T he Chinese New Year is upon us, with celebrations that started January 28 and end around February 11. The Rooster is one of the 12 Lunar New Year signs in the Chinese Zodiac, and each year also has one of five elements that rotate in two-year cycles. As last year was the Year of the Fire Monkey, this will be the Year of the Fire Rooster. One year ago, we published a story about Vancouver real estate during the Year of the Fire Monkey, with predictions for overseas buying patterns and possible government interventions. So how much did our experts get right – and what can we expect from the New Year of the Fire Rooster? The Year of the Fire Monkey Last year, those who take heed of such things observed that the Year of the Monkey denotes financial turmoil and unexpected events – especially in a “fire” year. Some speculated that this could translate into more local real estate sales, as volatility in China’s stock markets led to investors turning increasingly to Vancouver as a safe harbour. Others warned that it meant the

market could be full of unpredictability – as indeed it was.
Foreign Buyer Tax This time last year, speculation was already rife that the BC government might bring in a foreign buyer tax to try to help with affordability. The Year of the Fire Monkey did indeed see the introduction of a 15 per cent Property Transfer Tax (PTT) surcharge for overseas buyers, but only after the market was already slowing through natural self-correction. Luxury Homes Tax Around the same time, industry insiders were also mulling the possibility of a PTT surcharge on all high-priced homes. This was another policy to come to fruition right at the beginning of the Year of the Fire Monkey, with February’s BC Budget announcing that the PTT on the portion of a home sale above $2 million would increase from two to three per cent.

touted in last year’s Year of the Monkey predictions also became a reality in 2016, with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson announcing in September the new policy to tax those who leave their home empty for more than six months of the year. More details were then released in November following a public consultation. 2017’s Year of the Fire Rooster So with the Year of the Monkey bringing much of the volatility and dramatic change that was predicted, what does the New Year of the Fire Rooster bring? The Rooster is associated with trustworthiness and hard work, and those doing business are advised this year to stick to well-proven paths to ensure success, rather than risky ventures. Sounds like it could be business as usual in terms of Chinese buyers investing in Vancouver real estate, then? Or perhaps not, according to Richmondbased fortune teller and astrologer Sherman Tai. “In the last 12 to 15 years, every year I was telling people that if they

have money to invest, to invest it in the property market,” Tai told REW.ca’s sister publication Business in Vancouver. “In my last year’s prediction in the Year of the Fire Monkey, I asked them to stop.” Tai advises investors to continue being cautious, and thinks Vancouver real estate prices could fall up to 10 per cent this year. This is in line with widely reported industry predictions, but Tai says that it is because the stars say that Vancouver is currently a bad location for real estate. “Some stars are good for property, and some stars are bad for property,” Tai told BIV. “This year, the bad star is going into the house.” However, developers who believe in the influence of the Lunar New Year may have reason to be optimistic, as may our current provincial leaders in the upcoming election. Tai believes that the Year of the Fire Rooster will be great for the BC Liberals, as Christy Clark’s own Year of the Snake astrological sign is compatible with the Rooster – and the BC Liberals have historically been compatible with the development industry.

UNPARALLELED WATERFRONT LIVING AT HORSESHOE BAY WEST VANCOUVER
N
estled in West Vancouver and surrounded by the waters of Howe Sound and B.C.’s majestic coastal mountains, Horseshoe Bay is truly captivating to locals and tourists alike. Rising above the ocean, Westbank’s newest development, Horseshoe Bay West Vancouver, will offer dazzling views for those who seek unparalleled luxury living. “There is really not a lot of oceanfront land available for redevelopment, and Horseshoe Bay West Vancouver is the first multi-family project in the bay that offers real waterfront living,” says Ben Amzaleg, Westbank sales manager. “There has been a shortage of housing options for those who live in West Vancouver and want to downsize and stay in the community. Westbank is offering a solution that hasn’t been readily available.” Designed by award-winning Merrick Architecture, this sophisticated collection of 158 West Coast-inspired residences – comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom
condos, fi ve penthouses and a few townhomes – will epitomize contemporary elegance from each of its six unique buildings. Framed by a wall of windows with resort-style views of the shoreline and sailboats in the water below, the homes will be showcased by 10-foot ceilings (17foot ceilings in the penthouses), brushed oak floors, top-of-the-line Miele appliance package, travertine gas fireplaces and an extensive use of natural stone throughout. The expansive outdoor living will feature generous-sized patios – some equipped with outdoor kitchens and hot tubs. “This is the first time in North America that Miele professional series gas ranges will be in a multi-family building,” adds Amzaleg. Besides its picturesque location, Horseshoe Bay West Vancouver will be LEED-certified and amenity rich, including a European-inspired cobblestone piazza with public art and green common areas.
“Built like a shoe-shaped piazza in Portifino, Italy, the piazza will foster a strong sense of community and connectivity, where people who live here will really feel a sense of belonging, where neighbours know each other,” he adds. “In addition, the entire ground floor of the first building will be scattered with retail and coffee shops.” Besides its charming village featuring unique gift shops, coffee houses and seafood restaurants, Horseshoe Bay’s Whytecliff Park is a favourite for its tranquil, rocky coastline, which serves as a sanctuary for hundreds of marine animals. For boat enthusiasts, Westbank will offer its residents a marina lifestyle. The jewel in the project will be Paul Merrick’s boat house with its soaring parabolic arches. The boat house will be home to a topend Corsair 25 powerboat by Chris-Craft that will be available for pleasure cruise bookings by the residents of the project.
For 25 years, Westbank has been synonymous with design innovation and for being a leader in sustainability and often exceeds LEED Gold standards. “The homes will have a very unique and environmentally friendly heating and cooling geo-thermal system, where we will draw water from the ocean to heat and cool the homes,” explains Amzaleg. With exceptional finishes, an incomparable location and world-class waterfront views, Horseshoe Bay West Vancouver is sure to become an iconic landmark. Horseshoe Bay West Vancouver’s sales centre, located at 1502 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, is open noon to 5pm daily (except Fridays). Prices upon request. Tentative occupancy is slated for late 2019 to early 2020. For more information, call 605-925-9331, email info@horseshoebaywestvancouver.com or visit www.horsehoebaywestvancouver.com.
