THE PRE-SALE HOME ADVANTAGE

If you are looking for your first home, you may wonder if you should consider purchasing a pre-construction home or go the re-sale route. While there are pros and cons to both, there are a number of advantages to choosing a pre-sale home not available with a resale.

A big plus of a pre-sale home is the financial structure. You’re locking in at today’s prices and by the time you move in, your home will have increased in value. As well, you only need to pay the deposit now. Mortgage payments begin when you move in. This can give you a couple of years to save more money for your down payment.

Another advantage is the rescission period, which is not available when buying a re-sale home. This seven-day cooling-off period allows you to consider if the timeline, price, and all the other factors will be an issue for you in the future. If yes, you can withdraw your offer without paying a penalty. If you do decide to buy, you are protected by a new-home warranty of two, five and 10 years that covers specific construction defects.

And finally, with presale, you get to choose the colours and design aspects to personalize your new home and be the first person to live in the space.

Before you make a decision on presale or resale, it’s a good idea to understand the specifics of Metro Vancouver’s real estate market cycle. Turn to page 30, where industry expert, Brittany Reimer, lays it all out in easy-to-understand terms. And if you have already found your new luxury right-sized pre-sale condo and need to downsize from your home, turn to page 36 to get tips from a professional organizer.

As always, this issue is packed with other interesting and informative articles to help you on your home-finding journey. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

3 WAYS TECHNOLOGY

HAS CHANGED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

TIM NG

In my last column, I wrote about trends in PropTech, a contraction of “property” and “technology,” in Canada. This time, I’m going to dig a little deeper into three ways PropTech is changing the real estate industry –for the better.

DATA COLLECTION

In our “Internet of things” (IoT) world, where virtually all appliances and devices are connected to the web, data has become one of the world’s most valuable commodities.

This data can be used to do everything from assessing a property’s future risks and opportunities, forecasting future rental rates, and identifying potentially profitable areas for development. The data can also be used for AI-driven (artificial intelligence) marketing campaigns.

AUTOMATION AND DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT

The COVID-19 pandemic affected virtually every aspect of our lives. Social distancing measures meant that many of the things we took for granted, such as meeting in person to sign sales contracts, were no longer possible.

Luckily, secure digital platforms such as DocuSign already existed and were quickly rolled out industry-wide. Going forward, the convenience of using these tools means that transactions can be completed from anywhere in the world.

Property insurance is also increasingly becoming digitized and

available 24/7. Homeowners can shop around for the best rates, apply and finalize their insurance paperwork remotely and at a time that’s convenient for them.

For real estate brokers, the automation of paperwork streamlines back-office processes, saving them time and money that can then be used for more important tasks like market research, client relations and closing deals.

Virtual reality tours make it possible for potential buyers or tenants to view a property from anywhere on the planet and secure their new residence from abroad.

TENANT AND LANDLORD INTERACTIONS

One of the biggest challenges of managing a rental property owner is trying to stay on top of maintenance. But today’s smart technology means that all the essential components –from HVAC systems to appliances to lighting – can be monitored and even controlled remotely. Some equipment can even self-perform diagnostics and let the landlord know when it’s due for servicing or time to replace a furnace filter.

Affordable streaming video systems also make it possible to remotely moniter the exterior and common areas of a property for theft or vandalism.

Communications tools such as Zoom and Teams, that we all adopted for work and school, also have applications for property owners. For example, a landlord, tenant and a service technician could meet remotely from three different locations to clarify a specific issue, and then those communications can be archived for future reference.

Sharing diagnostics reports from the equipment and photos or videos with the technician makes it possible to diagnose problems ahead of time so they can bring the necessary parts and tools with them and complete the repair in one visit.

Whether you’re a real estate agent, investor, landlord, tenant or wouldbe homebuyer, PropTech already has and will continue to find ways to make every aspect of the real estate industry more streamlined, efficient and transparent.

HOW PROPTECH IS CHANGING THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

• Easy data collection for targeted and AI-driven marketing

• Automation of paperwork

• Secure digital transactions

• Contactless and remote communications

• 24/7 remote monitoring of rental and commercial properties

• Virtual reality home inspections and house tours from anywhere in the world

#InsideVan

by MICHELLE HOPKINS Vancouver

ROCKING FOR CHARITY: The Urban Development Institute (UDI) hosted the All-Star Jam for a Cause on Sept. 28 at Vancouver’s Mansion Nightclub. A pool of talented leaders from the real estate industry assembled bands to support kids and families living with juvenile arthritis to benefit Cassie and Friends Society, a charity that supports kids and families living with juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases through research, information, connection and support. Featured bands kept the crowd dancing with hits like Sweet Caroline. The musicians and bands that participated included Damn Chandelier, with UDI’s Ginny Normandeau, and guests Michael Ferreira and Guy Fournier; The Sellouts featuring Daryl Simpson, Derek Bosa, Barry Weih, Pete Ryznar and Brad Ricketts; The Approvals, which included Jon Stovell, Steve Jedreicich, Kenny Dietrich, Pete Ryznar, Joanne Zoleta, Mandy Newton and Andy Carson.

ALL-STAR JAM FOR A CAUSE

YOU KNOW?

EKISTICS Architecture has designed an upcoming multi-family project on Nanaimo Street called the Woodland Block, that will consist of 72 condominium units, ground-floor retail space, and townhouses on the East 10th and East 11th frontages, as well as the laneway.

An Autumn Harvest community event

A ground-breaking ceremony for Aldergrove Town Centre took place Saturday Sept. 8, followed by an Autumn Harvest community event. Hosted by the Janda Group and Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing, the public was invited to take part in the festival, which included

music, food trucks, a photo booth, pumpkin painting, games, and local artisanal vendors selling handmade goods. The familyfriendly Autumn Harvest community was an opportunity to celebrate Aldergrove’s rich, long agricultural history.

Being active about Passive House design

Lock-off suites come to West Coquitlam

The way families live today is different from even a decade ago. For its newest West Coquitlam project, the Robinsons Parkside Collection, Formwerks Boutique Properties is featuring two different lock-off suites where 30 of the 92 homes are separate, legal suites that can be rented.

Last year, the company debuted lock-off suites in a townhome project at The Robinsons, a first for Coquitlam, which proved to be

popular. “We’ve come to understand the mechanics of family and the possibilities of home and life should be endless. That’s why we’ve designed versatility into each home, like with our lock-off suites,” says Formwerks’ founder, Jim Bussey. “With a separate entrance, appliances and a bathroom, lock-off suites can be used for rental income, multigenerational family members, or for a home-based business.”

Shaun St. Amour, vice-president of operations for Clay Construction Inc., is on a mission to educate the next generation about the benefits of Passive House design. Every week, people can tune into his YouTube videos and watch him discuss cover topics such as the history and principles of Passive House design and the first Passive House, as well as see hands-on educational experiments. St. Amour says he wants to empower architects and builders on how to design and build better homes and buildings. A Passive House is designed to be extremely energy-efficient, reducing the amount of power needed to heat or cool, creating homes that are airtight and super insulated, with very little heat loss.

Circular Living SÕL

It’s official. Homebuyers are falling in love with SÕL.

“We’ve had over 100 realtors attend our pre-sale launch event plus another 115 seriously interested VIPs for this incredible, limited offering of urban SmartWood® homes,” says Eric Andreasen, Adera’s Vice-President of sales and marketing. “People are excited by the design concept, the prices, and SÕL’s great location. It created an incredible vibe.”

A community comprised of a six-storey midrise building with 92 market condominium residences and a second six-storey building with 109 rental suites, SÕL brings style,

flexibility and holistic living to the popular and rapidly growing West Coquitlam neighbourhood. Located at Como Lake Avenue and Robinson Street in West Coquitlam, these two buildings will complete one of Adera’s largest mass-timber communities to date. And with homes ranging from one-bedroom to family-friendly three-bedroom residences, some with private rooftop decks, there’s a home for everyone, whether you’re starting out, starting over, or rightsizing into the lock’n’go lifestyle.

“West Coquitlam, especially along the North Road Corridor, is a mature neighbourhood that’s undergoing

a dynamic renewal,” Eric says. “It’s an area with a youthful outlook and sense of unique character. People of all ages see the value of investing in this evolution. Many are looking forward to putting down roots.”

THE SMARTWOOD® ADVANTAGE

Long known for its leading-edge use of mass-timber construction, Adera’s proprietary SmartWood resonated with the City of Coquitlam’s commitment to holistic, environmental sustainability. “This is our third project in the West Coquitlam neighbourhood alone to incorporate this material,” Eric says.

“We firmly believe it is the building material of the future.”

Adera’s SmartWood® utilizes mass timber, specifically cross laminated timber panels (CLT), he explains, so it not only performs structurally as well as steel and concrete, but it’s just as quiet and more affordable. In addition, it doesn’t burn like traditional wood frame plus it sequesters enormous amounts of carbon, making it a win-win design for both buyers and the environment.

BUILDING FOR BETTER LIVES

“SÕL is part of our Building for Better Lives commitment to sustainability, the environment and the well-being of our owners,” Eric says. “By offering both condos and rental units, we’re creating a balanced, circular lifestyle.

And because this is a more boutique development, you actually get to know your neighbours, so it’s a much more social way of living.”

He’s also thrilled to announce that Adera is actively pursuing FitWel Certification for the entire community. This global, researchbased accreditation focuses on design strategies to optimize health and wellness, ones that can lower stress levels, reduce injury and absenteeism, and mitigate risks of illness. It’s a sustainable, new way of living, one Eric believes will become the way of the future.

The SÕL presentation has its Grand Opening on October 15 at 201-552 Clarke Road in Burquitlam Plaza. Register today at solexperience.ca to learn more.

WEST COQUITLAM

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Burquitlam is an exciting, emerging and sought-after neighbourhood. Also dubbed West Coquitlam, it is situated along the western edge of Coquitlam bordering the City of Burnaby to the west, the City of Port Moody to the north and the City of New Westminster to the south.

LIFESTYLE

This desirable stretch of urban living means it boasts bigcity amenities with great walkability, cultural diversity and a wide range of shopping and dining opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts, Burquitlam also has you covered with a great selection of parks.

VIBE

There is a progressive and vibrant feeling here, in part because of the influx of Lower Mainland city dwellers, many of who are young professional families. This is a community linked by nature, creating yet another layer of connectivity.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

This burgeoning enclave is attracting people of all ages who are putting down roots here because Burquitlam provides the best of urban living with rural delights.

IN THE AREA

If you are a history buff, you might appreciate a visit to the Robinson Memorial Park Cemetery. Built in 1935, it is filled with interesting, historical information about Coquitlam. After that, head next door to yet another landmark – the Vancouver Golf Club, arguably one of the finest private 18-hole championship courses in the Pacific Northwest.

PLANES. TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Living here means easy access to all parts of Metro Vancouver — whether it’s via Lougheed and the TransCanada highways by car or bus, or by way of SkyTrain and the Westcoast Express commuter rail train.

REAL ESTATE

The Evergreen SkyTrain along North and Clarke Roads has spurred growth in the region. Construction is underway in record numbers. Several new ones underway include Anthem’s SOCO master-planned community, and SÕL by Adera.

HOT SPOTS

KOREATOWN

The area around North Road is unofficially known as Koreatown. It’s a hub of Korean businesses including fabulous restaurants and cafes.

After satisfying your appetite, meander to great clothing shops or pick up some Korean ingredients at its grocery stores including Hanahreum Mart (H-Mart), and create your own Korean gastronomy.

THE TAPHOUSE

When it comes to pubs, this one excels. Its legion of loyal customers will tell you it offers an enviable selection of craft beer, delicious, organic cuisine, and great tunes. No wonder locals love this popular taphouse.

MOUNTAIN VIEW PARK

When it comes to recreational spaces, Mountain View hits it out of the park. Excuse the pun, but this is a favourite for fitness and exercise buffs of all ages.

It includes a playground, a grass playing field, a baseball diamond as well as a lacrosse box, a pickleball court, and outdoor exercise equipment.

SEPARATED OR DIVORCED?

ARE SOME TIPS FOR GETTING A NEW MORTGAGE

With well over 38 percent of marriages ending in divorce, marriage break-ups affect a wide range of Canadians. For those dealing with the breakdown of their

marriage, financial issues can be just as trying as emotional ones. During a separation or divorce, decisions on housing can loom large: You might want to keep living in the same neighbourhood to minimize disruption to your children, or you and your former partner may wish to have two residences close together so that your kids can attend one school and sleepover in different homes.

On average, there are 57,000 divorces in Canada every year and because of that, a growing number of people are looking for advice on how to pick up the financial pieces and set out on their own. One of the more important issues to think about is the need to maintain a healthy credit rating to help ensure your financial independence and, among other things, provide a solid foundation to approach home ownership solo.

Here are some general tips on how to approach purchasing a home following a separation or divorce:

• Know what it takes to qualify for a mortgage. Whether you are planning to buy out your former partner’s equity or you want to search for a new home, after any property settlement, anyone who is divorced or separated must qualify for a new or refinanced mortgage with only their own income. Most lenders require a separation agreement before proceeding with a mortgage. Also, alimony and child support payments will have an impact on your mortgage qualification, so consult a mortgage expert to help you with your specific situation.

• Keep an eye on your credit rating. After a separation or divorce, it

is important for you to establish credit independently of your former spouse, especially if you lack a credit history. Once again, a mortgage expert can offer advice on how to improve your credit score before applying for a mortgage. Any debt in you and your former spouse’s name is the responsibility of both of you and if the joint debt is not handled in a timely manner during the divorce or separation period, it will affect the credit ratings of both of you.

• Get a mortgage pre-approval. If you wish to purchase a home after your separation or divorce, it is vital to get pre-approved for a mortgage, as it will clearly indicate how much of a home you can afford.

• Look for smart ways to manage extra expenses and personal debt. A separation or divorce can mean numerous added expenses. Getting a new mortgage can be an opportunity to access equity in your home or consolidate high-interest credit card debt. You could opt for

lower monthly payments, which will give you a larger monthly cash flow.

If you find yourself making a fresh start because you are newly separated or divorced, you may be suddenly faced with many uncertainties and decisions. An experienced mortgage expert can help you take advantage of home finance opportunities. A mortgage expert offers advice on maintaining or repairing a credit rating and will make sure you have access to a diverse range of borrowing options to help get you back on your feet.

Picture this: A sophisticated, contemporary home that’s within walking distance to SkyTrain, schools and parks, plus every urban amenity you need to simplify your life. Oh, and there’s also a dazzling array of places to satisfy your desires when you need some retail therapy or feel like letting someone else do the cooking.

Now say hello to Amaya Living. Located at 108 Avenue and 140 Street in the ever-evolving Surrey Central neighbourhood, where you’re close to what counts and yet can still enjoy the relaxation of being out of the hustle and bustle. In short, you have the best of all worlds.

No wonder more than 20 percent of these homes sold within the first two weeks.

Poised for Growth

“This part of Surrey is experiencing incredible growth,” says Vipran Sandhu, sales manager. “People understand that it’s a fantastic time to purchase a new home here because there are so many conveniences already just steps from

your front door and it’s just going to keep getting better.”

Rapidly, he lists off just a few of the many things buyers say contributed to their decision: The location is equidistant to the Central City Mall and Guildford Town Centre, within walking distance to T&T Supermarket, four elementary schools plus a secondary nearby, an established SFU campus, and UBC poised to launch a new satellite facility soon. There’s also brew pubs, global cuisine and a diverse array of recreational opportunities, including cycle routes in every direction.

But the biggest attraction, hands down, is proximity to transit. “The Gateway SkyTrain station is about a 10-minute walk, so getting to downtown Vancouver is a breeze,” Vipran says. “You might even decide to go car-less, since getting around is so easy.”

ceLeBrate home

Inside, Amaya Living homes are spacious, designed for living life on your own terms. “Because our floorplans are larger than what

you’ll typically see in this area, they appeal to end users as well as investors,” Vipran says. And with homes ranging from one- to threebedrooms plus a select number of stacked townhomes, there really is something for every lifestyle.

Homes at Amaya Living start in the mid-$400,000s. Be sure to ask about pre-sale pricing discounts and a zero-percent assignment fee, as well as some exciting free upgrades. For more information, visit amayaliving.ca and register today.

WILLOUGHBYWILLOWBROOK

AN EMERGING NEIGHBOURHOOD

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Willoughby is nestled in the north of Langley Township and south of the Trans-Canada Highway. Once a sleepy farming community, Willoughby is an emerging neighbourhood that is one of the fastest growing municipalities in the province.

LIFESTYLE

Willoughby has a real smalltown feel, a community where neighbours greet each other with a smile. Whether it be walking or hiking at Gabriola or Yorkson parks or catching a game at the Langley

Events Centre, residents enjoy plenty of leisurely opportunities.

IN THE AREA

Many young families have been drawn to this neighbourhood because of its affordability. Already, there are two new elementary and middle schools, with a new high school that opened in 2019.

The 322,312 sq. ft. Langley Events Centre is the home base for seven different sports and more than a dozen sporting teams. There is also both the Willoughby Recreation Centre and the Willoughby

Community Centre for residents to drop by and enjoy.

DOLLARS & SENSE

Aside from costing roughly half the price of a home in the Lower Mainland, many residents say it offers a better quality of life. Willoughby celebrates its rural roots while embracing its growing urban ones.

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES

It’s easy to get in and out of the city since Willoughby is right off the freeway and most of Langley

is within a few minutes of it. Commuting to Vancouver is less than an hour on most days.

REAL ESTATE

There is a healthy mix of housing available, with an even split between single-family and multi-family homes (townhouses to condos and apartments) from which to choose.

HOUSING MARKET SHIFT

Investors, owners, potential buyers and real estate agents alike have been keeping both eyes on the shift in the Metro Vancouver market. While the

real impact of these shifts can be a divisive and difficult thing to ascertain, anyone seeking to better understand the effects of market changes should turn their attention toward market cycles in general and what they are and how they work.

While no two market cycles are alike, understanding a typical cycle can help you maximize

returns by making informed and well-reasoned decisions.

WHAT IS A MARKET CYCLE?

In real estate, a textbook market cycle is made up of four main phases: Recovery, expansion, hyper supply, and recession.

Recovery: During this phase, market growth is stagnant, with

limited housing starts. This presents opportunities for investors to keep an eye out for any signs of advanced recovery and to jump on belowmarket value properties.

Expansion: The next phase in the cycle consists of strong economic growth and an increase in demand for housing as the economy improves. Buyers also start to gain confidence,

which leads developers to create properties that can be sold at a higher market value.

Hyper supply: A market may experience this when the housing supply exceeds buyer demand. This is typically a result of developers and investors trying too fervently to increase the supply when demand is high.

Recession: The final phase means that supply has exceeded demand by a wide margin and there are high vacancy rates.

It’s important to note that not every market follows a classic market cycle and is dependent on several external factors including government policies, socio-economic factors, demographics and technology. For example, we know that the Lower Mainland has suffered from a decades-long period of undersupply in housing. This means that our market may be less prone to the hyper-supply phase of market cycles.

WHAT HAS CHANGED IN RECENT CYCLES?

The speed in which information is reaching consumers has had a large impact on established market patterns. Today’s homebuyer is increasingly well-informed, with access to a large and diverse amount of information. Because of the quick distribution of information via social media and the internet, market sentiments and activity can change at a faster rate based on headlines and chatter.

The result of this is reflected in the numbers when you look at the acceleration in velocity and amplitude of the ups and downs. In many ways, the information explosion is a blessing and a curse to the real estate industry. Homeowners and buyers can stay informed and make the best decisions for themselves. However, the sharing of information can lead to reactivity and result in over-pronounced enthusiasm or pessimism. When the landscape is shifting so rapidly, there is more pressure to react quickly out of fear. However, the reality is that without time for deep consideration

and understanding, unintended consequences can sneak in.

WHAT DOES A MARKET CYCLE LOOK LIKE TODAY?

In the past, industry insiders often mentioned the ‘seven-year cycle’ in real estate, while other research concluded that the average real estate cycle span is more like 18 years. But with the continued increases in the speed of the market cycle, it’s no longer accurate to talk about the industry in these ways.

We are now much closer to threeyear cycles as a result of the volume of information available and the rate of how it is distributed. Geopolitics have become not only relevant to the conversation but extremely important. Overnight news now has an immediate impact. In the past, troubling economic news would occur overseas, and there would be time to contemplate its potential consequences and how you react. Now, reactions can be immediate.

With the speed of market changes moving at an increasingly brisk pace, it’s becoming easier to be caught up in ‘hype’ or to make snap decisions as you try to avoid market ‘FOMO’. To not get caught up in this fearbased decision-making, it’s crucial to take in a fuller, more holistic view of the market.

Understanding the pace of the market cycles can be a helpful tool when deciding to purchase a home or invest in real estate. However, it has proven over the years that the right product for the right homebuyer will always sell, regardless of the pace of market cycles.

Sure to become a year-round hit for people wanting to soak up a resort ambience without the travel hassles are the club’s pool and outdoor lounge area.

CELEBRATE DOWNSIZING DISCOVER YOUR LIBERATING ADVENTURE

BY SUSAN M BOYCE

Downsizing. It’s a word laden with emotion, a word that’s been known to strike terror into the hearts of the most stalwart house owner. How will I fit my stuff into my new, luxury condo? I’ve got so many memories. Where do I start? Help!

In this issue of New Home + Condo Guide we aim to calm all of your fears as we chat with Heather Knittel, owner of Good Riddance Professional Organizing Solutions, about how to transform downsizing into a more joyful, less stressful experience and even a liberating adventure.

New Home + Condo Guide: What misconceptions trip people up when they start downsizing?

Heather Knittel: The biggest one is not giving themselves enough time. People simply don’t realize how much stuff they’ve accumulated over the years. So, they’ll look at the garage or the basement and think, ‘Yeah, I can do this in a couple of hours,’ when, in fact, it’s probably going to take them several days. I tell people to allow at least twice the amount of time they think each room will take.

And, here are two simple tips to start: Make sure you have

bags and boxes, so you have an easy way to separate things to be donated, thrown out because they’re broken or unusable, or kept. Don’t pile stuff on the floor because that’s how items get mixed up.

NH+CG: Leaving the family home is an emotional experience. How do you decide what to keep?

HK: You really need to look at your stuff with a critical eye. Remember, downsizing is about how you live your life now and will live it moving forward into the future. It’s not about how you lived in the past.

Sure, when the kids were growing up you might have enjoyed summer camping as a family, but do you really need all that camping gear now? Probably not, so get rid of it. I often see the same thing with crafts. Clients

will look at something like macrame supplies and say, ‘Oh, I used to enjoy doing that in the ’80s.’ But again, it’s unlikely going to be part of your new life, so reclaim that space.

NH+CG: What items do people find most difficult to part with?

HK: Clothes are hard because they’re often associated with memories of a special event or person. I once had a client with 20 suits from his professional life — all hanging unused in his closet. We decided to keep one to represent that part of his life and donated the rest so somebody else could make use of them. People like to know their clothes are going to a good cause like a church or nonprofit thrift shop, and that makes it easier to relinquish them.

Books are another potential

problem area. Just because a book is old, doesn’t mean it’s valuable. They’re also heavy to move — especially those beautiful coffee table books. My suggestion is to keep a few that you love and will actually re-read, then simply deposit the rest into one of the book-drops you find around town.

NH+CG: What about family mementoes?

HK: Surprisingly, parents are often more attached to memories like their children’s sports trophies, scholastic awards and grade school artwork than the kids are themselves. A great way to keep the memory and not the clutter is to just take a picture — and if it’s digital, you can share it with the whole family.

Remember, downsizing is about how you live your life now and will live it moving forward into the future. It’s not about how you lived in the past.

SHOULD WE CARE?

RON RAPP

“High-performance home” is a commonly seen tag in the residential construction sector. Stated simply, it is a home that is built over and above the basic requirements of the BC Building Code and optimizes the performance of a structure for increased energy efficiencies and comfort, health, and safety levels.

To build higher performing homes in BC, the pathway that has been

adopted is based on the BC Energy Step Code. Energy performance thresholds are assigned to each step, with Step 1 performing 10 percent better than code, through to Step 5, reflecting a more than 50 percent improvement. The target in BC is for all new homes being built to be ‘net-zero ready’ (Step 5) by 2032, meaning the home is ‘’ready’’ to produce as much energy as a homeowner consumes by having an energy source such as geothermal or solar panels.

High-performance homes are constructed with enhanced wall assemblies, increased insulation

values, and reduced “air change” rates, making the home more airtight and the heating and cooling more efficient. Combined with efficient mechanical systems, air is exchanged and circulated through the home for higher indoor air quality, a benefit to anyone dealing with allergies, asthma, and coping with hotter summers, and pollutants such as wildfire smoke.

The benefits of a high-performance home include better built doors and windows for enhanced thermal performance, adding to increased year-round comfort, and noise abatement. Durability and security are also enhanced with better-built

hardware and frames. Add automated Wi-Fi-based control systems, and you can monitor your property, manage lighting, operate locks and more from anywhere via your phone.

Residential construction today involves building science and high technology that requires trained and knowledgeable consultants, builders, and their trades. A professional licensed builder will assure that your new home purchase meets code, is properly constructed, maintains warranties, and delivers the best value for your family.

All builders of wood frame single-family, and multi-unit homes will have to meet Step Code 3 in 2022, but some municipalities are requiring homes to be built to Step 4 or Step 5 now, while others have yet to mandate Step 3 or less. Therefore, it is important to ask

the builder which threshold they are building to, and what features and specifications are deployed to meet the performance targets. Energy choices for heating and cooling your home, and water heating should also be reviewed, as many municipalities are limiting or precluding the use of natural gas, and this may also limit choice, or availability of appliances, fireplaces, patio heaters, and barbecues. Built to become a legacy, highperformance homes create value now and into the future, with resale value preserved as new homes will all be built to this higher

standard. HAVAN offers extensive information, podcasts, and resources for consumers at havan.ca/highperformance-homes.

CONDO DESIGN ON A BUDGET

IDEAS FOR DECORATING YOUR SPACE AFFORDABLY

by LISA ROGERS

There’s this misguided idea that we need to spend a small fortune to add high style and personality to our homes. While that is true in some instances, with investment pieces such as a quality living room couch or a bed, you don’t have to go over budget to elevate your home design. Some foolproof design ideas will instantly add a wow factor.

CREATE YOUR VISION BOARD

The essential step in decorating is starting with your vision or master plan before you buy anything. It takes restraint, but you don’t want to go shopping for pieces you’re not confident will fit in your home – it can be a costly mistake. Pull together paint colour and fabric swatches, images you find inspiring online (Pinterest is great for this), and magazine clippings from your favourite publications. From there, you will gravitate towards an overall look and feel that you like best and want to achieve in your home.

DON’T DO EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE

Thinking about every room in your home and what you want to do can be overwhelming, so take it slow, stay patient and start with one room at a time. It will eliminate that anxiety about trying to tackle a massive project all at once. If you’re looking to purchase big items (a new couch, bed or dining room table), try to stay as neutral as possible with the colour, style and fabric choices.

You don’t want to tire of these big-ticket items quickly and eventually replace them – they should last years. By staying neutral (and not falling victim to a trend), you won’t get tired of your pieces, and you can always change up your look with soft furnishings (pillows, throws and accents), which are much less expensive.

KEEP SCALE IN MIND

When designing a new space or revamping an existing one, it’s very easy to get caught in the moment and want to splurge and buy all the (new) things. That’s why the scale is essential – not only does it curb our impulses, but it gives us a literal translation of what can fit into our space and what we actually need. Take measurements of your space or new pieces you’re looking to purchase and assess whether they’ll work or contribute to “overstuffing” your space (which happens more times than you realize). Think about the purpose, too: How will you use these pieces? And do they matter to the overall quality of living in your home?

STICK WITH THE ESSENTIALS FIRST

Remind yourself that designing or redesigning your home is a process. Stick with the essentials first – the must-haves and can’t-live-withouts – then gradually incorporate the remainder items, accessories and artwork over time. Enjoy the time spent. It can be a lot of fun sourcing antique markets, road-tripping to vintage shops,

or perusing a gallery on your next vacation for that piece of artwork. You will appreciate what you’ve found and the journey you’ve taken to get there by taking your time.

FRESH PAINT

Paint is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform your rooms. A fresh coat can immediately refresh your space and give it new life. If you’re not thrilled about painting an entire room, think about an accent wall or even painting the trim; it can still create an exciting new visual appeal.

MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE

Take stock of your existing pieces and move things around or to another room. It’s surprising how pieces can feel born anew once you move them into a different space. It’s also a great exercise in seeing what you don’t need and already have.

CHANGE ACCENTS AND FIXTURES

Another budget-friendly hack is swapping out the existing fixtures in your kitchen and bathrooms with new knobs or handles or your lighting fixtures with unique lamp shades. New throw pillows can update a space and consider bringing in fresh linens for when the seasons change.
