BC Home Hunters Reveal Surprising Must-Haves: Survey
W
hen it comes to must-haves in buying or renting a home, a recent survey of BC residents says that, after the price, there is one other thing more important than bedrooms, size or location – and that’s private outdoor space. According to a survey carried out by Insights West on behalf of Resonance Consulting, and presented to an Urban Development Institute (UDI) seminar January 24, the key home feature to BC residents is the price. Eight out of 10 respondents identified cost as their most important feature, and it was the top concern of each of the individual age groups, which breaks down as 83 per cent of Millennial respondents, 82 per cent of Gen-Xers and 75 per cent of Baby Boomers. However, for all respondents as a whole, the second-most important feature was private outdoor living space (65 per cent) – whether a yard or just a balcony. This was prioritized over number of bedrooms (55 per cent) in third place and overall square footage (52 per cent) in fourth. Storage space rounded out the top five of features, at 51 per cent of respondents, with the first of several location-based features – walking distance to amenities –

coming in sixth at 49 per cent. Age Differentiation The priorities vary considerably when broken by age group, however, with Millennial respondents putting proximity to work in second place (63 per cent), followed by access to transit at 55 per cent. Bedrooms and square footage were the fourth- and fifth-highest priorities for Millennials, with outside space coming in sixth. In the larger cohorts of Generation X and Baby Boomers, both groups put outside space in second place of priorities, with Gen X putting number of bedrooms in third place, while indoor parking was thirdmost important to Boomers. Gen X filled out its top five with proximity to work and storage space, while Boomers’ fourth- and fifth-ranked concerns were storage space and the reputation of the developer or management. Chris Fair, president and CEO of Resonance, told the UDI audience when presenting the report, “Private outdoor space isn’t nearly as important for Millennials than it is for Gen-Xers and Boomers… whereas Millennials prioritize proximity to work. And Boomers, while

they love their car, were also the strongest in favour of walking distance to amenities, which ranked lower for Gen-Xers and Millennials.”
or move to a new area. The latter results hit headlines recently, with some media outlets reporting that there could be a disastrous “exodus” of management-age Vancouver residents, as 40 per cent of Metro Vancouver-based Gen-Xers told Insights West that they were considering selling up and moving to a new area.

Trade-Offs and Sell-Ups The report also identifies “nice-tohave” factors and possible trade-offs, such as whether respondents would live in a smaller home in order to be closer to work, as well as whether respondents are expecting to stay in their current location MOST IMPORTANT HOME FEATURES Cost of housing Private outdoor space Number of bedrooms Overall square footage size Storage space Walking distance to shopping/dining/entertainment Garage/indoor parking Pet friendly Reputation of developer/building management Access to public transit Proximity to work Sustainabily/energyefficiency ratings Design/Interior design

MORNINGSTAR
Gets it Right Again in South Surrey
Award-winning developer introduces its newest luxury single-family homes enclave – Pacific Heights
S
outh Surrey boasts some of the best weather in the Lower Mainland, as well as sandy beaches, quaint seaside havens and great schools. It’s no wonder people want to live here. Here’s another reason: Morningstar Homes’ newest luxury single-family homes enclave, Pacific Heights. “Pacific Heights is an exciting and evolving neighbourhood in South Surrey that offers a unique blend of urban appeal and rural charm,” says Deborah Calahan, Morningstar Homes’ vice-president of sales and marketing. “Response was immediate when we opened our doors for the first time on Saturday, January 28, and within two hours we were sold out of our first release!” Pacific Heights is a boutique collection of 30 homes, comprised of four or five bedrooms with fully finished basements (which can be upgraded to a suite). These sophisticated residences will feature 3,400-plus square feet of family living.
Pacific Height’s West Coast-inspired architecture is showcased by beautiful exteriors with strong accents of wood, stone work and shingles. Front porches with impressive eight-foot-high entry doors and two-car garages give each front elevation a prominent and luxurious impression. Each beautifully appointed home includes vaulted ceilings, wide plank hardwood floors, quartz counters, plush carpeting, oversized windows and a high-end stainless steel appliance package. One of Morningstar’s signature features is a custom window seat in most bedrooms and dining rooms (plan permitting). “I think what makes Morningstar Homes stand out is the thoughtfulness that goes into the design of each home,” adds Calahan. “We design our homes not only based on the location – the lay of the land – but we also take into account how people will live in their home and what they are looking for
today to give them the highest level of livability possible.” Each residence also provides natural privacy with yards featuring generous sized patios or decks, lush verdant landscaping and scenic views – some residences on the upper slope will offer fabulous ocean and mountain vistas. The uncommon elegance and highend features make these truly beautiful homes. Pacific Heights is yet another example of the quality that award-winning Morningstar Homes is well known for; it is the standard the company delivers in each of its projects. Morningstar Homes is among the largest single-family home builders in BC, with nearly 2,000 homes to its credit, so you can rest assure that the superiority and workmanship will meet your expectations. Besides being close to parks and trails, recreation and shopping, Pacific Heights is minutes to seaside communities such as Crescent Beach and Ocean Park. It is
also near Morgan Crossing, Grandview Corners and the new state-of-the-art recreational facility, the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre. 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. For outdoor enthusiasts, Surrey is home to more than 600 parks and greenbelts, as well as seven major golf courses. Some of its jewels include Crescent Beach, Green Timbers Urban Forest and Bear Creek Park, to name just a few. Pacific Heights is now selling. The sales centre is located at 168th Street and 18th Avenue and is open daily from noon to 6pm (except Fridays). Prices start from $1.5 million. Tentative occupancy is set for November 2017-June 2018. For more information, call 778-291-0559, email redgren@mstarhomes.com or visit www.mstarhomes.com.
