For anyone who’s tried to qualify for a mortgage but has missed the mark because of the government stress test, here’s some good news: Going to a federally regulated bank is not your only option.

Mortgage Investment Corporations, or M.I.C.s, while not new, are private lender companies that are attracting new homebuyers. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. recently released its first ever Residential Mortgage Industry Report, with information on M.I.C.s. Read all about it on page 48 and decide if a M.I.C. would work for you.

More good news comes from the federal government’s First-Time Home Buyer Incentive Program (FTBIP), especially if you’re looking to purchase a newly built home. We’ve got all the details on page 48. The program starts Sept. 2, so check it out and see if you’re eligible.

And finally, the best news of all, New Home + Condo Guide, your complete and only guide to the new-home industry in Metro Vancouver, has ramped up distribution so now we’re everywhere you are. Look for our all-new yellow street boxes and racks throughout Metro Vancouver.

You can also pick up a FREE copy in select retail locations like Starbucks, Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons, Shoppers Drug Mart and more.

Good news all around.

STREET BEAT SERIES

THE HELEnA GuTTERiDGE PLAZA at Vancouver’s City Hall resounded with the melodic sound of Veda Hille’s distinctive voice and original songs at lunchtime on Wed. August 7. The performance was part of CoV’s Street Beat Series presented by VIVA Vancouver, a program that transforms road spaces into vibrant people places.

Friendly fun at the HAVAN Summer Social The sun was out on the afternoon of Aug. 7 at the Caesarstone showroom in South Burnaby, creating the perfect ambiance for the HAVAN Summer Social. Homebuilders Association of Vancouver members mingled and nibbled sausages from the Taste of HAVAN (Heaven) food truck, 14 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

Golf tournament fundraiser

ASPAC and the River Green Community presented a day of golf, fun and philanthropy to improve local health care at Richmond Hospital Foundation’s Golf Tournament on June 3.

Golfers played in the daytime and then came together for a fundraising dinner. Gifts from generous donors at the

tournament will fully fund the purchase of two new state-ofthe-art kidney machines. The event united nearly 150 golfers and more than 250 guests. ASPAC has been a long-time supporter of the Richmond Hospital Foundation and was Title Sponsor for the tournament for the ninth consecutive year.

Savour Summer series at River District by Wesgroup

Wesgroup’s River District in South Vancouver is the location of free Savour Summer events, annual celebrations of the season in River District’s Town Centre, including live music, interactive entertainment, food vendors and more. Pictured here is the July 13 headlining musical act Oot n’ Oots – a family friendly indie, folk music quintet from the Okanagan. The next event is Sept. 7, so head to the River District for another family fun day, featuring local alternative trio The Katherines.

Lougheed’s lively lunchtimes Shape Properties’ City of Lougheed is livening up lunchtimes on Fridays and Saturdays between noon and 2 p.m. throughout the summer, with live performances on Fridays and DJs on Saturdays.

Friday, Aug. 9 featured Sophia Danai playing the guitar, in the newly renovated “The Eateries” space in Lougheed Town Centre Mall. The mall is undergoing

extensive renovations with new retail coming in as the City of Lougheed residential towers go up around it. It’s a great opportunity to see some cool music as well as visit the impressive presentation centre to see the ambitious vision of the future of the City of Lougheed, conveniently located on the Millennium Skytrain Line on the Burnaby/Coquitlam border. nexthome.ca 15

Experience the New Abbotsford It’s a hip and happening part of the Fraser Valley, an urban centre with a unique vibe and an identity all its own. If you haven’t visited Abbotsford in a while, get ready to be impressed.

“Abbotsford is definitely now its own place,” says Geoff Duyker, Mosaic’s vice-president of marketing.

“You know you’re not in Surrey or Langley, even though they’re only a short drive away.”

Gardner’s location just east of where the Fraser Highway intersects Highway 1 redefines convenience and puts you close to all the amenities that are turning heads among savvy buyers.

18 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

“You’re right next door to Gardner Park and only steps to the trendsetting Highstreet Shopping Centre,” Geoff explains. “The Abbotsford International Airport, state-of-the-art hospital, as well as the University of the Fraser Valley are all only minutes away. And when you need to head into Vancouver or east to the Interior, access to Highway 1 is a snap.”

All this plus a list of nearby shopping outlets, restaurants, and schools that’s nothing short of spectacular. And don’t forget the many parks, community centres, and outdoor recreational opportunities that are woven into the fabric of life in Abby.

Gardner, Geoff notes, will be aimed squarely at first-time buyers and young families ready to make the move from a condo into a townhome. Floorplans include two-bedrooms, two-plus-den, and three-bedrooms with a starting price point in the low $400,000s.

The community will feature Mosaic’s classic, shingle-style architecture and thoughtfully designed, contemporary interiors.

Naturally, you can expect the meticulous attention to detail and proportions that you’ve come to expect from a Mosaic home. Stylish details include trendsetting matte black kitchen faucets, 10-ft. ceilings on the main, seven-ft. windows, and spacious private backyards.

“We’ve built thousands of homes throughout Vancouver, Langley and Surrey,” Geoff says. “We’ve been looking for the opportunity to bring this homebuilding expertise to Abbotsford for some time, so we’re thrilled to finally be here with this intimate collection of just 77 townhomes.

“And we will continue to make improvements based on what our previous buyers tell us is important to them. For example, we now include a powder room in our two-bedroom-and-den plans.

We’ve also designed a harvest table for our two-bedroom homes that not only adds counter space, it becomes a focal point when entertaining.”

Gardner’s home store and two model homes open Sept. 14 at 2838 Livingstone Avenue in Abbotsford. Be sure to register early for this exciting opportunity.

ron rAPP

Micro-homes are a solution for adding housing to existing neighbourhoods to sustain thriving communities. Given the high cost of renting in Vancouver and low interest rates, the micro-home is a housing form worth considering.

With a smaller footprint and lower purchasing price, microhomes are suitable for first-time buyers, young families wanting to get into the market, and downsizers, too, looking to stay in their established neighbourhoods.

Speaking with HAVAN members Abstract Homes and Renovations, creating space capable of adapting to a variety of family needs is key to maximizing small-living space.

The Ovation Award home Bright Investment offers a centrally located efficient kitchen design with efficient work triangle. The island serves many purposes, with a workstation for multiple cooks, doubling as an easy breakfast/lunch bar, or just a great place to hang out when entertaining friends.

In addition to efficient design, maximizing space with cleverly designed ‘flex-rooms’ is an award-winning solution and key to …continued on page 24

expanding livable areas in small spaces.

Working with Smallworks Studios/ Laneway housing Inc., a flex space was created in what appears to be part of the kitchen in the Bright Investment micro-home. The kitchen space is interchangeable as a dining area, den or in-home office.

Featuring a three-panel, frostedglass sliding-door, privacy is possible when desired, and also helps to further define the space.

The popularity of one-level living with the master on the main is a magnet for mobility-challenged and aging-in-place homeowners, and provides for an easy-to-care-for lifestyle.

One level living is enhanced with a vaulted ceiling, skylights and triangle upper and transom windows in bedrooms to expand the visual space. Eight-foot sliders on either side of the home bolster a sense of spaciousness. The front patio creates seamless indoor/outdoor living, further extending livable space.

The modern craftsman style exterior blends seamlessly into the established Vancouver neighbourhood, with the door facing the street, not the lane. Complete with white picketed fence, this micro-laneway-home offers smart solutions to Vancouver’s growing need for alternative housing options.

austin heights Coquitlam

by Michelle hopkins

Located in the heart of southwest Coquitlam, Austin Heights began its life as a bedroom community in the post-war era. Since 2011, this sleepy community has been experiencing major transformations after three decades of no change.

LIFESTYLE

As one of the oldest districts in the city, this neighbourhood has a strong sense of history, yet like many other neighbourhoods in Coquitlam, Austin Heights is reinventing itself as it undergoes a face lift.

ThE vIbE

Think quaint town meets city living; a laid-back village vibe with urban amenities awaits you in what many locals say is one of Coquitlam’s best and most vibrant neighbourhoods.

32 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

mEET ThE NEIGhbOURS

This neighbourhood is home to 3,340 residents with an average household income of $51,656, making it one that is very much a middle-class enclave.

However, that is changing as it morphs into its new metropolitan identity. It is also a friendly one where neighbours help neighbours.

IN ThE aREa

You’ll never be far from Mother Nature’s best, with hundreds of acres of greenspace close by. Austin Heights is dubbed the city’s original walkable neighbourhood, so you can leave your car at home and go grab a bite to eat or pick up some groceries.

PLaNES TRaINS & aUTOmObILES

Major highway connections to downtown Vancouver are within easy reach and the Lougheed SkyTrain station is 10 minutes away by public bus.

REaL ESTaTE (NEw bUILDS)

Multi-family apartments represent 85 per cent of the housing stock, which is the highest amount across all communities in Coquitlam. Still in flux, the future looks bright for Austin Heights with highrises along Austin, roads closed off for pedestrian walkways and, in the south part, carriage homes, triplexes and fourplexes on big single-family lots.

Over the last few years, it has, and still is adding, approximately 5,000 more residents in another 2,500 homes in the area between Blue Mountain to Linton streets and Foster to Rochester avenues.

Property buyers today are not only striving to find the perfect home, but also the perfect investment for their future.

New-home purchasers are trying to balance multiple desires as they look for thriving, highdemand neighbourhoods that will ultimately allow them to reside in a high-growth community. As the market is ever-changing, it is vital for a buyer to monitor each living community closely, and track how a region is unfolding in the real

comfortable access to local amenities are all contributing factors in the appreciation or depreciation of a living community. Additionally, it is beneficial to be mindful of certain risks that may be arising in the community where you are looking for a property. Limited employment opportunities in the area, declining businesses, and no potential upgrades in amenities or developments may be a significant sign of a potential decline in the growth of a neighbourhood.

CONSIDEr EVEry OptION

There are a variety of up-andcoming neighbourhoods that are seeing a significant rise in value

within the Lower Mainland. Several areas are going through in-depth changes that aim to enhance their city. Implementing transportation, schools and shopping are all positive signs that a community is on the rise. Not every option may be on your horizon initially, however, if future growth in value to your home is what you’re looking for, re-evaluate some of the districts that are currently growing rapidly in popularity.

We are seeing great investments into the Squamish community with rising values and an investment in city amenities, walkability and downtown core. New Westminster has seen massive changes with its waterfront housing amenities, Brewery District and retail expansion, and it shows no signs of slowing down, with exciting changes still to come.

West Coquitlam, Surrey City Central, Lions Gate Village and River District all continue to see investments from municipal infrastructure, amenities, housing and more.

It is vital as a buyer to take the appropriate steps to find out about an up-and-coming

neighbourhood in order to satisfy your long-term goals and needs.

As a homeowner, there is some peace-of-mind knowing that your property is increasing in value and demand. Make sure you carefully observe provincial and regional trends, demographics and city improvements. Develop meaningful relationships with trustworthy advisors such as your realtor or city officials who are willing to give you some insight on the up-and-coming districts within the Lower Mainland. Once these steps are finalized, you will be on your way to investing in the perfect property.

When developing the design for this four-bedroom family home, I truly wanted it to be sophisticated but functional. With a little extra thought and creative planning, it can be done. Here are some key design tips for creating a cohesive, functional family-friendly home.

Start by re-thinking the purpose of the rooms in your house and change them up to suit your everyday living. It can be a struggle to space-plan your home.

It’s essential to stand back and look at how you think you should use the space versus how you actually use the area. These can be vastly different.

I often consider changing out the purpose of a room to suit our client’s lifestyle. That’s precisely what we did for this bright and airy family home. We swapped out the traditional living room at the front of the house for a home office with custom builtin shelves. Many modern families no longer need a formal sitting area. And although it’s nice to look at, it’s not practical. We added some extra personality by cladding the backs of the shelves in a luxurious navy grass cloth to add depth. The cabinets below can hide toys or board games for occasional play times as well.

This small sunny zone is now a convenient place to sit back and read a book or squeeze in a conference call to the office.

Another change you can make is to re-purpose your formal dining area. In this case, we converted the dining room into an open space for entertaining.

We already had a great eating nook adjacent to the …continued on page 38 36 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

kitchen where the family spends all its meals together. So instead of having a formal dining table that rarely gets used, there’s a grand piano that steals the show. Don’t forget, just because the room isn’t being used the way the builder intended it, doesn’t make it wrong. It makes it yours!

You can also add practical sophistication with a mix of old and new. Get rid of your stained old college futon! Nobody wants to sleep on it anyways. Instead, find unique vintage pieces, so it’s not all big-box store finds. By blending these old items with some more contemporary pieces, you’ll make your home feel more curated and expensive!

Sophisticated design is easy but making it practical can seem impossible. Just remember that family-friendly homes require flexibility. I continually remind my clients that how they think a room should function is not always how it works best. Think beyond the traditional uses for rooms and live your life by a design that suits how you wish to truly live every day.

What are M.I.C.s? an alternate way to finance a new home

by MIChelle hopkIns

Rob Carlsen has been investing in rental properties for more than two decades. However, in 2017, he and a partner began investing in fixer-uppers.

“We started buying older townhomes in Langley and Surrey for the sole purpose of flipping them for profit within less than a year,” Carlsen says. “Because the big banks don’t like short-term lending, and we

42 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

didn’t qualify under the bank’s new borrowing rules, our only alternative was to get our financing through a M.I.C.” (Mortgage Investment Corporations and private lenders company.)

With Vancouver’s over-heated real estate prices and increasing federal government regulations, (like the mortgage stress test), M.I.Cs have become extremely

Rob Carlsen funds his residential real estate investments through a M.I.C.

Tyler Wilson is a mortgage broker and partner at Pilot Mortgage, Dominion Lending Centres.

attractive to investors, first-time homebuyers and immigrants.

According to a spokesperson at CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), the main activity of a M.I.C is residential mortgage lending.

Under Canadian law, M.I.Clending is limited to the financing of real property in Canada, and at least 50 per cent of its assets must be invested in residential mortgages or insured deposits.

Carlsen weighed his options and felt the higher interest rates and extra fees charged at a M.I.C were worth it.

“A M.I.C was an ideal situation in order for us to keep profiting from flipping homes,” says Carlsen. “We

are paying 7.99 per cent interest, but it is worth it to us. We also had to pay a one per cent brokerage fee to set up the financing.

We analyzed our profit versus expenses, and we felt we were still getting a very good return on investment (R.O.I.).”

M.I.C.s aren’t new, says Tyler Wilson, a mortgage broker and partner, Pilot Mortgage, Dominion Lending Centres. In fact, they’ve been around since 1973.

“We have been using M.I.C.s as an alternative lending solution for clients for 10 years,” says Wilson.

“However, since 2018 when the mortgage rules changed, we have certainly seen an increased demand for this type of financing.

They now make up about 15 per cent of our business.”

His firm works with clients, such as Carlsen, as well as first-time homebuyers.

“We look at a client’s income, the value of the property, assess their risk and then we ask ourselves, ‘Does a M.I.C. make sense for this particular client,’” says Wilson. “If it does, we explain all of the fees.”

Typically, a M.I.C. will charge a lending or brokerage fee of between one to three per cent of the amount borrowed, depending on the risk the M.I.C. is taking on. In addition, whereas a bank loans money based on a person‘s income, a M.I.C. bases its approval on the value of the property it is financing.

“A client also pays for the M.I.C.’s legal fees to register the mortgage.

The amount varies between $1,000 and $2,000,” explains Wilson, adding M.I.C.s are so well capitalized, the risk to borrowers is extremely low.

“Another benefit of using a M.I.C. is how quickly they will approve a loan, typically within 48 hours, versus a bank, which can take up to two weeks now.”

Wilson went on to say: “M.I.C.s allow clients to buy a home, carry financing between sales or allows developers, who are seeking construction financing, to continue to build homes.”

cmhc recently put out its first ever residential mortgage industry report in which it states the following about m.i.c.s: • As unregulated entities, M.I.C.s do not take deposits and are not subject to federal or provincial mortgage lending rules • Average mortgage is $194,760 • Interest rates fluctuate between seven – 15 per cent, depending on the risk the M.I.C. feels the loan is • 61 per cent of M.I.C.s are based in Ontario and B.C. • Market share of M.I.C.s is only one per cent (2015 stat) but growing, versus banks at 75 per cent

• M.I.C.s hold an estimated $13-$14 billion of outstanding mortgages. Its share of mortgage starts was more than double its share of the stock, which is partly due to its increasing market share in the uninsured space.

• CMHC’s study suggests the risk factor is low, as M.I.C.s do have measures in place to control credit risk

First-time buyers of new homes get more oF an incentive Details regarding the federal government’s FirstTime Home Buyer Incentive Program (FTBIP) were announced recently, and it seems there’s more help available for first-time buyers of new builds than for Canadians considering the purchase of resale residences.

The program, which will take effect on Sept. 2, 2019, is designed to help Canadians with incomes of up $120,000 buy their first home by reducing their monthly mortgage payments without having to increase the amount money they put down. The bonus for purchasers of newly constructed homes is an incentive amount of between five and 10 per cent, while the incentive for resale purchasers is set at five per cent.

How does the FTBIP program work? Read on.

Like all loans, the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive needs to be paid back eventually. In this case, it can be paid back in full at any time with no penalty. The 46 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

homeowner can choose not to pay anything back for 25 years, or after the property is sold, whichever occurs first. The amount of the incentive that needs to be paid back is calculated using the property’s fair market value at the time of repayment and is to be repaid whether the property value increases or decreases. No interest is accumulated on the incentive.

“Buyers utilizing the program ideally should be in frequent communication with their mortgage professional to determine at the earliest point that a refinance would be possible to pay out the FTBIP,” advises Tom Gasparec, a mortgage agent with The Mortgage Centre. “Assuming a 10 per cent annual appreciation, our estimation shows that there would be sufficient equity to pay out the 10 per cent incentive shortly after year-two of owning the home.

This strategy would provide the buyer with optimal return on investment utilizing the program.” …continued on page 48

THE TIDE IS TURNING ON OCEAN VIEW PROPERTY

The ebb and flow of the market has washed over the Lower Mainland, and like many, White Rock real estate has slowed in 2019. And while we all know that cycles come and go – we also know that real quality endures. So it’s with great excitement that the quality and enduring value of Altus in White Rock is now under construction.

For those who have joined the Altus community and named us “The Best New Ocean View Homes in the City”, the start of construction means you’re one step closer to moving in. If you haven’t visited the Presentation Center and discovered the convenience of a full-time Concierge, the Oak Room, and ocean views, we hope to see you soon because the tide is turning and homes like these will be the last of their kind in White Rock for many years to come.

Once processed and accepted, new-home buyers must call 1.833.974.0963 to activate the FTHBI payment and provide the name of the lawyer/notary they have chosen to close the deal. They must provide lawyer/notary information as soon as they have chosen one and no less than two weeks prior to closing.

The program is a complement to another firsttime homebuyer incentive change made earlier this year, which increased the RRSP withdrawal limit to

$35,000 from $25,000. All in all, the program may help lower mortgage payments, but not the cost of a home in hot markets, says Gasparec.

“The FTBIP program does not resolve the supply/demand issue, it will only exacerbate Canada’s over-heated housing market as it makes buying homes easier for Canadians, which drive prices up,” he says.

more facts on the program: • Canada’s First-Time Home Buyer Incentive to help qualified first-time homebuyers purchase their first home launches on Sept. 2, 2019, with the first closing on Nov. 1, 2019.

• The incentive will allow eligible first-time homebuyers who have the minimum down payment for an insured mortgage with CMHC, Genworth or Canada Guaranty, to apply to finance a portion of their home purchase through a shared equity mortgage with the government of Canada.

• No on-going repayments are required, the incentive is not interest bearing, and the borrower can repay at any time without a pre-payment penalty.

48 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 24–Sept. 7, 2019

• The government shares in the upside and downside of a change in the property value.

• The buyer must repay the incentive after 25 years, or if the property is sold.

• The incentive is available to first-time homebuyers with a qualified annual household income of up to $120,000. At the same time, a participant’s insured mortgage and the incentive amount cannot be greater than four times the participant’s qualified annual household income.

• The property must be located in Canada and must be suitable and available for full-time, yearround occupancy.

• Investment properties to be used as rentals are not eligible.

eXAMPLe OF A neW-COndO PUrCHASe: Melanie has an annual qualifying income of $90,000.

To be eligible for the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive, she can purchase a condominium unit up to $350,000. She has the required minimum down payment of five per cent of the purchase price – $17,500 from savings.

Melanie can receive $35,000 in a shared equity mortgage (the incentive), which is 10 per cent of the price of her newly constructed home.

This would reduce Melanie’s mortgage payments by $200 a month, a savings of $2,401 a year.

If Melanie decides to sell the condominium and when she does it is worth $320,000, she will have to repay the 10 per cent incentive as a percentage of the home’s current value, which in this case would be $32,000 at the time of

eXAMPLe OF A neW-HOMe PUrCHASe: John wants to buy a new home for $400,000 and has saved the minimum required down payment of $20,000 (five per cent of the purchase price).

Under the Incentive, John can apply to receive $40,000 in a shared equity mortgage (10 per cent of the cost of a new home) through the program.

This lowers the amount he needs to borrow and reduces his monthly expenses.

As a result, his mortgage is $228 less a month or a savings of $2,736 a year.

Ten years later, John decides to sell the home for $420,000. He will have to repay the Incentive as a percentage of the home’s current value. John would have to pay 10 per cent, or $42,000 at the time of selling the house.

How about driving around to four different liquor stores to get enough boxes to only pack half of your belongings? Forgetting to forward your mail leads to missed bill payments and a damaged credit score. Shopping around for moving quotes; how do you know you’re getting great value?

TSAWWASSEN LANDING AUTHENTIC WEST COAST LIFESTYLE

There’s a buzz happening on the seaside in Tsawwassen at Tsawwassen Landing, a spectacular 120-acre, master-planned community by Onni. Excitement is building at Tsawwassen Landing for New Haven, an upcoming new phase of three- and fourbedroom single-family homes that are capturing the hearts of homebuyers looking for something special.

Like Onni’s previous, award-winning neighbourhoods, Tsawwassen Landing will place a major emphasis on walkable, family-oriented design — a community dotted with greenspaces and parks that’s filled with a diverse selection of home types for all generations. Pedestrian and cycling pathways will connect to the ocean beaches and the boardwalk as well as to the Tsawwassen Mills Mall and an upcoming village-style shopping district.

“Now that this neighbourhood has so many urban amenities and conveniences open, it’s becoming one of the town’s favourite places to live,” says Andrew Joblin, Regional Sales Manager with Onni.

“People who’ve already purchased at Tsawwassen Landing tell us they’re looking forward to being able to walk everywhere — Winskill Park, shopping, restaurants, schools, and of course, the seaside walkway. Everything you need is right outside your door.”

THE HOME YOU DREAM OF

Like everyone involved in this project, Andrew is particularly excited. “We’re very cognizant that people want their home to look and feel unique, so we’ve created a wide variety of plans and exteriors.

When you walk down the street, you’ll see homes with different rooflines, entryways, front doors, and colours. It’s going to create an engaging look.”

Inside, these homes are all about luxury. You’ll find gourmet kitchens ready to kick your culinary adventures into high gear with Wolf and SubZero appliances, a built-in pantry with adjustable shelving, and an entertainment-sized island with ample seating because it’s still true, all good parties end up in the kitchen.

Main living areas feature overheight ceilings

and luxurious wide-plank flooring, ensuites invite relaxation with a decadently deep soaker tub, stone countertops, and in-floor radiant heating. Plus, you’ll find roller blinds throughout, a cozy gas fireplace in the living room, and the comfort of air conditioning.

As yet another bonus, some of these homes will include a coach house above the garage — ideal as a mortgage helper, guest suite, home office, or perhaps even decked out as a sports lounge with big-screen TV, a pool table, and lots of comfy seating.

The grand opening of the New Haven Presentation Centre and two designer display homes is Saturday, September 21 at Tsawwassen Landing. Be sure to register today for updates as they’re released. Visit ONNI.COM or call 604.638.3500.
