What’s Your Home Worth? Vancouver real estate values up nearly 17% over past year
T
he value of residential real estate in Vancouver over the past year has gone up by 16.96 per cent – far greater than the already-high 9.5 per cent of the previous year but only the fourth steepest increase in BC, according to BC Assessment figures released January 4. Lions Bay in West Vancouver saw the province’s highest rise, at 17.96 per cent year over year, followed by Squamish at 17.33 per cent and Burnaby at 17.07 per cent. However, the most expensive properties in the province, based on market values as of July 1, 2015, were to be found on Vancouver’s West Side. A detached ocean-view house at 3085

REW.CA /NEWS TO READ THESE STORIES AND MUCH MORE REAL ESTATE NEWS AND ADVICE
Point Grey Road in Kitsilano, owned by Lululemon co-founder Chip Wilson, was valued as BC’s most expensive property for the third year in a row, now worth $63.87 million. Last year the 30,600 square-foot property was valued at $57.6 million, so it has seen a rise of nearly 11 per cent – more than $6 million. The province’s second-ranked property is around the corner at 4707 Belmont Avenue in Point Grey – a street commonly known to locals as Billionaires’ Row. That home, which ranked third last year, is now valued at just over $57 million as of July 1, 2015, up from $50.1 million the previous year.
BC Government Raises Property Tax Grant Threshold in Wake of Soaring Values
The only non-West Side property to make BC’s top five is an entire private Gulf island – James Island, which is valued at $51.6 million and ranks in third place, down from second place in 2015. Across the whole of BC, property values have risen by 11.1 per cent over the year to a total of $1.34 trillion. The differences between northern and southern BC were much more marked than in the previous year, with many northern jurisdictions registering significant declines in property values. The biggest drop was in Tumbler Ridge, where home values fell by a third. In terms of what this means for
Expectations Vs. Reality: A Vancouver Home Buyerʼs Guide to Being Realistic
property taxes, most home owners in what BC Assessment defines as the Vancouver Sea-to-Sky region (Vancouver, North and West Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast) can expect increases in 2016. Homeowners should receive BC Assessment notices in the mail during early January, if they have not already received one of the early-warning notices sent out in December to warn some homeowners of particularly steep increases.

PARK & METRO IS ALREADY 90 PER CENT SOLD S outh Cambie might be one of the smallest of Vancouver’s neighbourhoods but since the Canada Line went in, this former sleepy enclave is attracting young and old back into its fold. With a variety of upscale boutiques, bakeries, bars, specialty stores and a selection of ethnic restaurants, it’s no wonder. This is where one of the province’s most respected builders, Marcon, unveiled Park & Metro, two low-rise red brick buildings. Because of its desirable address, more than 90 per cent have already sold.“People from all over the Lower Mainland, including Richmond, Burnaby, and Vancouver itself, are excited that they can come back to the city and actually afford to buy a home,” says Celia Chiu, Park & Metro Sales Manager. “This neighbourhood is close to some of the city’s best private schools, which many of our buyers have told us was a real draw as well.” Park & Metro’s collection of 73 one, two and three bedroom residences, ranging from 517 to 1,313 square feet, is located on a quiet residential street yet close to all of
the urban amenities home buyers are looking for. Its location, nestled in one of the city’s most coveted neighbourhoods, is also surrounded by parks, trails and athletic fields. The West coast homes are distinguished by open interiors appointed with high quality, bright, spacious kitchens with Bosch stainless steel appliances, full-height pantry, Quartz countertops, built-in microwave and generous size master bedrooms with room for a king size bed, and the comfort of air conditioning for every home On those balmy summer nights, residents can grab a bottle of wine and food and head to their oversized patios, decks or terraces and take in Vancouver’s cityscapes. Park & Metro also features parking and full size storage/bicycle lockers and rain screen technology. “For those who love the outdoors, Park & Metro is close to Queen Elizabeth Park, Langara Golf Course and the North Arm Trail Greenway,” says Chiu. “With prices starting from $415,800 we are appealing to a large cross section of buyers.”
It’s the level of quality, features and finishes that is Marcon’s signature. Since 1985, locally owned Marcon has stayed true to its mandate of consistently exceeding expectations, both before and after homeowners receive the keys. For more than three decades, Marcon has built a stellar reputation for constructing more than 8,900 quality homes across the province. Most notably though, the builder is renowned for its
Customer Care program. “I don’t think anyone in the Lower Mainland can touch Marcon’s customer service department,” says Chiu. “Its comprehensive service continues throughout the process and beyond, which means any issue or problem will be resolved quickly and efficiently.” Don’t miss this opportunity to buy in South Cambie. With more than 90 per cent of the homes in both buildings sold, Chiu expects
them to sell fast. Three bedroom townhomes are also available, ranging from 1,496 to 1,927 SF.
