Buying With Confidence Lessons learned at the GVHBA’s New Home Buyers’ Seminar
A
fter years of saving, Filipinoborn Maria Reyes and her husband are ready to purchase their first home. Since immigrating to Canada four years ago, Reyes, her husband and three young children have lived with family members. Her dream has always been to own her own home but she was unsure about all the ins and outs of the home buying process. Recently she attended the free Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) seminar for new home buyers to get answers to her most pressing questions. “With my brother, we have been able to save enough money to put a 25 per cent down payment on a $400,000 town home in Langley,” says Reyes. “I want to know exactly what all the costs involved are and why I need to use a Realtor.” For Graham and Anna, a
young Vancouver couple in their early thirties, they came to the seminar in hopes of getting educated about the process of home inspections and offers. The couple, who have started to save for their first home, say their parents are helping them out with a down payment. “We’ve done research online and calculated roughly what we can afford,” says Graham. More than 150 people came out to Surrey City Hall to listen to a panel of industry experts during the first of two free events that made up the 21st Annual GVHBA New Home Buyers’ Seminar – the second being held two days later at SFU’s downtown Vancouver campus. Prior to the two-hour seminar, attendees could ask questions
from a number of GVHBA members who hosted booths – everyone from mortgage specialists to Fortis BC, to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation CMHC (Canada’s national housing agency which helps Canadians find affordable ways to own a home), and home builders Polygon and Vesta Properties, to name just a few. Moderator Shayne Ramsay, CEO of BC Housing, kept the panel of six industry experts to their 10-minute presentations, which was followed by a lively Q&A. As prospective first-time home buyers, both Viv Newman and her 25-year-old daughter Diana Newman learned a lot from the information covered during the seminar. “For the past 22 years, I’ve lived with family members. I just came into an inheritance that will allow us both to purchase a home,” says Viv
Newman. “I’m looking at a single family home or duplex in South Surrey, while Diana wants an apartment in downtown Vancouver.” The mother-daughter team attended because the whole idea of buying their first homes seemed daunting. They both wanted help to demystify the process in order to make the best decision possible. “There are so many fees … I mean, I didn’t even know about the Property Transfer Tax,” says Diana Newman, adding the pamphlets and handouts are very informative. What amazed both was the importance of hiring a Realtor. “I was really surprised to hear there is no fee [for buyers],” says Viv. Diana, a business degree graduate, agreed and added: “I wasn’t going to use a Realtor but after hearing about how complex and ever-changing the real estate regulations are, I am. I also didn’t realize how complicated the contracts can be and what to ask for from a seller.” “I have a lot of homework to do,” Viv Newman quips as she leaves the event.

Now is your chance to become part of this new community—built from the ground up on the last section of Vancouver’s waterfront.

HAZEL A perfectly designed home in historic Maillardville I
n the heart Maillardville district – one of the most historic neighbourhoods in Coquitlam -lies a new contemporary boutique style apartment development called Hazel. Built by a well-respected builder in the industry, Hazel is inspired by the neighbourhood’s French-Canadian heritage. The building is a modern take on French architecture, which showcases brick accents, wrought iron accents and gabled roof lines fronting Roderick Ave., creating a look that offers timeless elegance. This collection of 34 stunning one, two and three bedroom apartment homes is the latest offering from developer Phoenix Homes, a company that brings decades of award-winning experience. Hazel offers a unique opportunity to purchase a timeless West coast modern residence, each with its own oversized private balcony or patio, for the busy, city dwellers. “The patios on the floor level can easily accommodate 15 guests while entertaining,” says Kiran Rai, Marketing Director, Platinum Project Marketing. Hazel’s location is unrivalled in its proximity and access to all parts of Metro Vancouver — within very easy and close access to Lougheed and the Trans-Canada highways and the Millennium SkyTrain line, as well as within walking distance to a great mix of cafes, restaurants and shopping. “Hazel is very family-friendly. It is only a block away from the elementary school and close to parks and forested hiking trails,” adds Rai. In keeping with the sophisticated heritage of the exteriors, the modern interiors, ranging from 554 to 971 square feet, feature high-end finishes such as nine-foot
ceilings, 7.5” wide plank laminate flooring throughout the entry, kitchen, living and dining areas and contemporary style carpeting in all bedrooms. The kitchens will inspire you to cook with their stainless steel appliances, wood grain laminate cabinetry, quartz countertops, large porcelain high gloss backsplash tile, a unique open shelf in accent colour, stainless steel undermount double bowl sink as well as in-sink disposal. Outside Hazel offers green space, spacious decks and patios, beautiful landscaping and a children’s play area for you to enjoy a coffee and meet your neighbours. For nearly two decades, Phoenix Homes has been and continues to be a trusted name in the industry; having built more than 500 homes in the Lower Mainland. Based on honesty and integrity, you can rest assured that your home will be one you cherish for decades to come. Whether you are a first time buyer or a young family starting out, you will be duly impressed by the rich attention to detail and the incomparable value of Hazel. Nicely appointed new homes, with timeless beauty and lush greenery right outside your doorstep at such value are rare today. A one bedroom home starts at only $220,900, while a three bedroom home starts at $350,900. This is an opportunity you definitely don’t want to miss. The Hazel presentation centre and display home, located at #104-827 Roderick Ave., Coquitlam, is open daily from noon to 5pm (except Fridays).
