EDITOR’S NOTE

SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

AMANDA PEREIRA EDITORIAL DIRECTOR New Home + Condo Guide

With a puppy at home, it seemed like a no-brainer to get a camera to check up on her while we are out of the house. There are dozens of at-home security systems with service charges, but we preferred a camera system that provided us with the features we wanted without the outrageous monthly fee. We ended up buying two: one for our puppy, and one to keep surveillance on the front of our home. The app sends notifications to our smart device when it detects motion, and also keeps a feed saved to an SD card. I didn’t realize how important this camera would be until months after we bought it. I was home alone one evening and about to take a shower when I realized I had left the towels downstairs. When I turned the hallway light on, I stopped dead in my tracks as I thought I heard someone in the house. My blood ran cold and my fight-or-flight response went into overdrive. I took quick steps backwards and sent a flurry of panicked texts to my partner and best friends. I tiptoed back into the bathroom and sifted through our camera feed. Two shadowy figures loomed by our front door before taking off down the porch steps when I turned on the light. Now I wasn’t just afraid, I was livid. I stormed downstairs with my hairbrush in tow (in hindsight, not the smartest weapon of choice,) turning every light on in my path. I blanched when I got to the front door. Stuck in the door seam was a flyer advertising window treatments. A mix of elation and anger swept over me as I let out a squeak of relief. I wrestled the pamphlet out of the door frame, re-creating the sound that had scared the wits out of me 10 minutes earlier. The camera had given me the confidence I needed to get my body down the stairs and the evidence to confirm the departure of the night-time delivery guys. COMING SOON TO ALDERGROVE

Free timed-entry tickets on Saturdays for self-guided tours are available through the museum’s website, renniemuseum.org.

The QE Collection Launch Sightline Properties is pleased to introduce The QE Collection, the new phase of west side residences in Vancouver’s sought-after Cambie Village neighbourhood. A happy crowd celebrated the launch of The QE Collection on October 17 and joined the Sightline team in the outdoor courtyard at Just West, which was transformed into a whimsical pumpkin patch. Guests enjoyed a tour of movein-ready, designer show homes and fall-themed festivities including treats and tons of IG-worthy photo ops, complete with a one-of-a-kind photobooth. Plus, they were the first to learn about the entire QE Collection and had an opportunity to win a brand new Tesla 3 just for helping celebrate. Defined by three luxury townhome communities 12

DID YOU KNOW?

Another major redevelopment is proposed for Surrey City Centre, replacing ageing low-rise rental housing buildings with new towers containing thousands of homes.

RC at CF Richmond Centre Releases Towers 5 and 6!

Popolo Ground-breaking The team at Epix Developments and their partners in the exciting Popolo project are excited to inform the public that the construction at Popolo has begun. Epix Developments, Syncra Construction, and Propel Project Marketing Group celebrated the ground-breaking last week, and are looking forward to updating buyers and prospects with more milestones in the coming months. This fall,

the sales team is offering a final pre-construction release and a special pricing promotion. With just 15 homes available, buyers have a choice of any of Popolo’s 44 unique floorplans. In addition, Popolo is offering a limited-time flexible deposit program and free parking spots for all purchases. This is your final opportunity to own in the heart of Vancouver, just steps from The Drive, for as low as $604,000.

The wait is over. After selling more than 600 homes in Towers 1 – 4, demand has risen exponentially for the final homes in RC at CF Richmond Centre’s first phase. On October 16, Towers 5 and 6 homes were made available to the public, where buyers took advantage of SHAPE’s industryrenowned ideal deposit structure timing. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to own in Towers 5 and 6. Ideally located minutes away from Minoru Park, these modern city homes are steps from 45-acres of greenery and recreational amenities including tennis courts, a running track, the library, cultural centre, art gallery and a brand new $80 million Aquatic Centre.

Rail District launches master-planned project in Abbotsford Infinity Properties, a local and award-winning developer specializing in multi-family residential projects, celebrated the official groundbreaking of their largest project to date: The Rail District. The Rail District will be a multi-phased master-planned community comprised of over 650 townhomes and condos, as well as 80,000-square-feet of commercial and office space. Spread over 19 acres, this major development is located on the former property of the historic Clayburn Brick plant. Infinity Properties shared the celebration with Mayor Braun, councillors, city staff, key consultants, partners and the Infinity team. The Rail District will be a very walkable community within close proximity to Abbotsford’s downtown

core. Construction at Rail District has commenced, and the anticipated sales launch of the first 91-unit townhouse site comprised of two- and threebedroom homes will be in the Fall of 2022.

DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

MARPOLE

Marpole is a mostly residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of the City of Vancouver. Its borders are Angus Drive to the west, 57th Avenue to the north, Ontario Street to the east and the Fraser to the south. It has seen much change over the years, largely due to the construction of the Oak Street Bridge and the Arthur Laing Bridge, leading to the southern suburbs via Highway 99 and Vancouver International Airport, respectively.

THE VIBE:

LIFESTYLE:

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS:

This neighbourhood has a strong sense of history, particularly within its aging population. Archaeologists have found evidence that Marpole was inhabited as far back as 3500 B.C. This is also one of Vancouver’s oldest settlements, which was called “Eburne Station” in 1860. The area received another boost when the Lulu railway and the BC Electric interurban train were built in 1908, increasing its accessibility to and from other areas of the Lower Mainland.

The 2011 census recorded Marpole’s population as 23,832 and the median age as 41.6. Because this neighbourhood is a high-traffic area, it’s less expensive than most areas of the city, and students and seniors are taking advantage of the prices here, as well as many new Canadians. There are also several seniors’ homes in the neighbourhood. The area appeals to the “day trippers” and “night owls” who enjoy the proximity to not only the downtown core but also the vibrancy of nearby

New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 30–Nov. 13, 2021

Marpole is a juxtaposition of contradictions: not only does the combination of young students and senior citizens contribute to this feeling, but so does the pairing of quiet residential areas dotted with ample greenspace with the major arterials that run through the city. Plans to bridge the areas that feel somewhat cut off from each other due to being bisected by busy streets are in the works.

ARMADILLO BOUTIQUE Some serious savings on some serious fashions are available at this high-end discount boutique. Get brand-name clothing, for much, much less, and it will be your little secret.

MILLTOWN BAR AND GRILL Off the beaten path, on Richmond Island, this place is worth coming to on a sunny day, when you can watch the sailboats at nearby Milltown Marina while enjoying a burger and a craft beer.

Richmond. Marpole is an eclectic mix of residents that have come together to form a real community. IN THE AREA:

The shopping in Marpole is along the Granville corridor, and although it is mostly smaller, independently owned shops, there are also some larger

chain stores here. The lower mainland’s oldest community centre, Marpole Oakridge Community Centre, is located in this neighbourhood, too. There is also plenty of greenspace in Marpole: Winona Park has three terraced fields for football, Ebisu Park boasts a climbing rock and Oak Park features basketball courts and water park.

MARPOLE MIDDEN This ancient Musqueam village and burial site was once inhabited by Coast Salish people from at least 4,000 years ago until about 200 years ago, when smallpox arrived on the Northwest Coast.

Street-level garden suites offer large patios and the joy of having your own front door that opens onto Just West’s expansive courtyard. This inviting

community gathering space will feature a children’s play area, dining and lounge seating, plus an outdoor media screen for enjoying movies or cheering your favourite sports team on during warm evenings. MODERN BY DESIGN

Inside, these homes are an oasis of function and style. Gourmet kitchens include a state-of-theart Miele appliance package and a large centre island sure to become the social hub of each home. Spa-inspired bathrooms offer a luxurious retreat for unwinding after a long day. Ninefoot ceilings and generously sized windows create an inviting, airy ambiance to enhance your life every day.

effervescent sheen, directly contrasts to the monotonous and monochromatic dullness of grey. One symbolizes joy and optimism, while the other elicits an almost sterile sense of the familiar. As a result of these naturally opposing qualities, they’re not the most straightforward combination to execute. But with an understanding of how to balance

their inherent characteristics, they can be a fresh and elegant accent to any home. The effect that yellow has on a space is similar to the impact turmeric has on food; a little goes a long way. Yellow by nature is an attention-drawing hue – we don’t use it as a highlighter because it fades into the background. Because of this, it’s most effective

when used with confidence and a sense of purpose. Our homeowners wanted a serene and contemporary retreat, with the elegance and gravitas of the Guggenheim. They wanted fresh, contemporary, understated yet compelling... which naturally led to the idea of yellow as an accent. To make sure the home didn’t get too loud and vibrant, we used grey as a key element and diffuser. We used it to upholster the custom sectional and as a base note in rugs, artwork and decor. In a way, grey is like a chameleon – it can take on the tint and hue of nearby colours. When mixing grey and yellow, think about the vibrancy and contrast levels. To hit the perfect curated note in this home, we mixed in an abundance of texture, shapes and sheen throughout. Our starting point in the formal dining room was a custom-designed trio of yellow, black and grey abstract art pieces. Understanding the impact of their dominating presence, we turned up the collective volume of the rest of the room. Using a high-gloss white lacquer table, creamy and natural chairs, and modern and structural white Pantone chairs as table ends,

we brought up the energy and interest level of the remaining space, which mellowed out the attention-drawing artwork. When trying to round out your space, think about the varying stylistic differences between your two loudest pieces. While turning up the volume can be used as a balancing tool in some cases, never underestimate the power of mother nature. At Louis Duncan-He Designs, that natural West Coast perspective is embedded in our DNA. In the Great Room, we added natural driftwood tables; ombre textured throw pillows, canary kissed florals and a large-scale rug with a fluid water motif in a golden spectrum of yellow and greys. With the room’s sheer size, openness and ceiling height, the best way to add serenity and tone down our striking accent colour

was to go natural. Introducing more stylized and sculptural pieces would have skewed the space more dramatic and daring, which would have taken the room in an entirely different direction. You can never go wrong with the addition of natural and organic elements to a home, and by doing so in this space, we were able to hit that perfect note straddling high-end design and relaxing oasis. Thinking about the past year, and looking forward to the future, grey and yellow seem to be the exact combination of colours that accurately reflect the emotional state of the rest of the world. While I can certainly appreciate the symbolism that lives within this powerful colour combination, I marvel at the transformative powers they can have in our hearts and home.

IT’S A HOT MARKET! JAMIE SQUIRES

Whew! It’s been a hot market all year, especially this past summer and even now as we are fully in gear for fall. Demand for new homes is at an all-time high, even without foreign buyers due to the Covid-19 restrictions in place. Sales were slightly slower in September compared to August, though an anomaly. If you look at the numbers, it isn’t due to a slowdown in the market, but a lack of inventory. Everywhere sales have slowed there has been little to no new product or listings added to meet the demand. With less product available, the correlation to fewer sales makes sense, especially as prices have further increased over September and October to try and slow the high demand on the small number of homes available for sale. This will most likely persist as restrictions lift, borders open and immigration gets back on track. How do you get into the market when there is very little inventory so you can make a long-term plan to grow your equity? Whether you qualify for the space you need today or for a space too small that you can’t use, you can still get in with the smaller space and rent it out until it gains enough equity to enable you to buy a home at a size you need. This can take anywhere from five to 10 years on average, however, in a market like it is now, it may take significantly less time. One of the best ways to get in is to purchase a new home by presale.

This allows you to put your down payment on a home yet to be built so your equity can grow before any mortgage payment is ever due. Plus, if you need to rent the space, the rent typically covers the mortgage and other costs associated so you can further your equity growth as required based on your household income and space requirements. Watch for pre-sale developments marketed as ‘Coming Soon’ or ‘Register Today’ and ensure you go online to register. If you have a realtor, note it on the registration form. You should also tell your realtor to register on their own as well just in case there are early Realtor packages that may be sent that they can share with you. Then watch your email and phone for further information from the development’s representative sales team on news, release timing updates etc. Finally, in a market like this, if an available home meets your criteria and you know the development is busy, choose your home quickly so you don’t miss out. Some new developments will have a selection process. Each one is different, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully, yet quickly. In most selection processes there will be an online form that will be date and time

stamped with your submission, typically allowing anywhere from two to five, if not more selection choices. This is so that if your first (or second, etc.) selection is not available when it is your selection form’s turn (based on the date and time stamp received), the developer’s team can still assign you a home to write on. There are a couple of great presale opportunities coming soon in the Fraser Valley you can register for today, including the exciting new Aldergrove Town Centre at atcliving.ca, Prosper near Guildford in Surrey at prosperguildford.ca, and Chronicle coming to historic Cloverdale in Surrey at liveatchronicle.ca. Visit fifthave.ca to check out more new early registration opportunities as they become available. Jamie Squires is Senior Vice President & Managing Broker at Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Ltd, and has has over 18 years in the industry. Fifth Avenue now has over 40 years of experience Bringing People Home in the Fraser Valley and beyond, and brings an unparalleled level of expertise and an innovative approach to the marketing and sales of new-home developments from the ground up.

6 COMMON MISTAKES EVERY HOMEBUYER SHOULD BE AWARE OF

JESSE ABRAMS

People often say it’s good to learn from your mistakes. But, when it comes to buying a home, you don’t want to leave any room for error. Whether you’re a seasoned homeowner or a first-time buyer, there are many common missteps that can occur throughout the mortgage and buying process, 34 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 30–Nov. 13, 2021

which could end up costing you thousands of dollars. To ensure you’re prepared to take the plunge, here are six common mistakes to avoid when buying a home. NOT GETTING PRE-APPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage isn’t exactly mandatory, but it offers many advantages for homebuyers. It establishes how much you can borrow early on in the process. Understanding your home affordability not

only makes for a more efficient home search, but it allows you to set a realistic budget so you’re not overspending. A pre-approval will also benefit you in the case of a bidding war – something very common in today’s hot market. When a buyer is pre-approved for a mortgage, a seller is often more likely to accept their offer because it shows credibility and that they are serious about making the purchase. And, if you’ve already been pre-approved, it’s also a good idea to consider

these common errors so you can ensure final approval upon your home purchase. FAILING TO CONSIDER OTHER COSTS

Coming up with a down payment is only one piece of the puzzle, and while it’s very important, many buyers lose sight of other expenses that come with buying a home. These often include closing costs, insurance fees, property taxes, legal fees, monthly living expenses, moving costs and the list continues. If you plan to purchase in a highrise building or a lowrise property, it’s worth noting that maintenance fees and other costs will differ – making it even more important to understand the difference and evaluate your budget accordingly. Failing to factor in these costs or allocating too much of your monthly income toward mortgage payments might make it difficult to meet other household expenses after moving in. To avoid this mistake, review your savings and consider all of these expenses before beginning the process. Getting pre-approved is a good first step because it allows you to create a budget to factor in these unforeseen costs. LIMITING YOURSELF TO ONE LENDER

One of the most common mistakes many homebuyers make is not shopping around for different lenders. Mortgage terms and products vary between lenders, which is why shopping around gives buyers the benefit of comparing options so that they can make the best choice. In some cases, many homebuyers think that getting a mortgage can only be done with the big banks. However, there are many mortgage lenders in Canada, such as credit unions and monoline lenders that may have better mortgage options than the banks.

So, before heading to your local bank, it’s recommended to shop around to see what’s available in the market. At Homewise, our team helps both first-time and seasoned buyers navigate the market to find a mortgage that best suits their unique needs by shopping around with multiple lenders so that they can feel confident and prepared when buying a home. HAVING TOO MUCH DEBT

Before buying a home, prospective buyers should take a close look at their credit to understand if it’s something they can afford right now. Many start this process too quickly without paying attention to their credit score and debt levels, leaving them in a difficult financial situation later on. Having strong credit, specifically your debt-toincome ratio and credit score, is a key factor lenders consider when approving you for a mortgage. So, before your mortgage closes, you may want to avoid getting a new credit card or taking out any large loans. Taking on new debt while your mortgage application is pending can impact your ability to get approved. If your credit score falls and your debt-to-income is poorly impacted, lenders can go as far as changing the terms of your mortgage or denying it entirely. NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER INCENTIVES

The Canadian government has many great programs to help firsttime buyers in the homebuying process. However, our team at Homewise has noticed that many first-time buyers aren’t fully aware of these programs and incentives – causing them to lose out on money saved and other useful benefits. Each of these resources help to increase home affordability and alleviate some of the roadblocks new buyers face when buying a home.

FAILING TO READ THE FINE PRINT

In any transaction, it’s always important to pay attention to the fine print and clearly understand the terms and conditions involved with your mortgage, especially before signing anything. If you’re not familiar with mortgage jargon, you can always consult with an experienced mortgage advisor. We’ll break down all of the complex details so that you can clearly understand what your mortgage entails and the types of privileges and penalties you’re being presented with. Believe it or not, doing this can save you thousands of dollars if you were to ever switch your mortgage, break it early or make a lump sum prepayment. For example, let’s say you’ve recently received a monetary gift of $10,000 from your parents and would like to use that extra money to pay off your mortgage faster. This would require you to make a prepayment, which is possible but might result in a penalty fee if you don’t have prepayment privileges in your contract. This is why it’s important to clearly understand the terms and conditions before you lock in your mortgage. Buying a home is an exciting milestone that marks a new chapter in your life. At the same time, it’s essential to stay on top of all the important details, steps and expenses that come with purchasing and owning a home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an existing homeowner, this milestone investment is definitely worth doing the right way.

Multi-dimensional

monochromatics by DIANA ROSE DESIGN

How to achieve a monochromatic look that is anything but boring

onochromatic spaces are trendy, yet timeless, effortless in their aesthetic, and strategic in their execution. There’s no doubt this chic look requires a thoughtful approach, and a commitment to see it

New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 30–Nov. 13, 2021

through. Of course, a few tips from a professional designer will go a long way to mastering this classic look. Here’s how you can add interest to a monochromatic interior, while staying true to this one-hue wonder. Colour is often an easy way to add personality and warmth to a home. It brings the eye

where you want it, and even in small doses, it can have a strong impact. When you’re working with just one colour option within a monochromatic motif, you can create the same effect using contrast and vibrancy. Crank up the brightness and saturation of your colour of choice and use it to highlight

the focal points in the room, and take the eye where you want it to focus. When your colour palette centres around light neutrals or white, add pops of black in small but powerful punches. You can also achieve a different level of contrast using materials and texture. Incorporate wood and stone and other natural elements into your space, with items such as glass and reflective metallics. Each of these is different from the others in terms of texture, but they’re all neutral by style standards, so they won’t compromise your overall monochromatic aesthetic. What about the “soft” elements in your space? Pillows and throws, window treatments, upholstery and the rug beneath your feet can all go a long way in adding warmth and texture to a monochromatic space. Linen, silk, cotton, corduroy, wool, faux fur, chunky knits and other options

bring various tactile experiences into the room. Look for a variety of patterns and textures, but stay true to your colour palette. Lighting also plays a key role in bringing depth and dimension to a space, and should include a combination of ambient, task and accent lighting. Ambient is the general lighting in the room, often in the form of ceiling fixtures, including pot lights or a chandelier. Task lighting is intended to illuminate a specific area, such as a kitchen countertop or desk. Last but not least, accent lighting is decorative and is used to highlight features such as architectural elements, artwork or other focal points. Together, your lighting plan will enhance your home’s function, while adding a sense of warmth and welcome. Monochromatic interiors can get a bad rap for their limited colour palette, but one colour doesn’t have to be one-

did you know? Light temperature plays a role in the overall ambience of your home. Warm light leans to yellow on the colour spectrum, with a comforting, intimate look. On the other hand, cool light bulbs have bluish undertones, resulting in a brighter, crisper appearance that leaves you feeling more alert and on point.

dimensional. The appeal of monochromatics is the versatility and endless adaptations, despite the use of just one hue.

COMING SOON TO ALDERGROVE

ALDERGROVE TOWN CENTRE

URBAN CONVENIENCE: COUNTRY ALURE

It’s a first in Aldergrove: a dynamic, mixed-use masterplanned community located adjacent to the sparkling waters of the newly revitalized Bertrand Creek. Introducing Aldergrove Town Centre, where the joys of country living and the conveniences of an urban setting intersect. Here you’ll discover wineries and farms, restaurants and local artisan shops, plus the tranquility and open spaces where your family can put down roots. It’s like having the best of all worlds right outside your front door. UNIQUE CREEKSIDE LIVING

Ideally located midway between Langley and Abbotsford, this collection of 194 low-rise and mid-rise homes is a rare opportunity to be part of an evolving community that will offer creekside living at its finest. Here the sunrise over Mount Baker will be a backdrop to your early morning jog. Perhaps an après-dinner bike ride or stroll with your sweetheart along the expanded trail system beckons. Or you could choose to explore the diversity of nearby outdoor recreational opportunities and natural habitats. Because now, more than ever, people are savouring the ability to connect with nature. A COMMUNITY TO CALL HOME

Aldergrove Town Centre’s three buildings will be clustered around a lively village centre complete with a highly-anticipated freestanding daycare and an iconic

clock tower. “Meet me at the clock tower,” is sure to become a frequent invitation. “Our goal is to create a community gathering place both for today and the future,” says Sonny Janda, President of the Janda Group. “Aldergrove Town Centre will be a neighbourhood where people can live, work, eat, and play: a place that preserves Aldergrove’s charming core and honours the inherent natural beauty of the surrounding area. It will be a dynamic combination of urban conveniences with the allure of simpler country living with access to greenspaces and outdoor activities.” And with excellent proximity to transit as well as major highways, getting away is a breeze. SOCIAL LIFESTYLE

Aldergrove Town Centre’s amenities are thoughtfully designed to encourage social interaction. Sure to become a popular gathering spot is the community’s rooftop deck. This inviting outdoor space offers a barbeque kitchen, harvest dining table, children’s play area, and garden plots for growing the freshest salad ingredients right at home. Inside, you’ll be able to get fit in the gym and dedicated yoga room with ballet barre for stretching. And since working from home is here to stay, there are also flexible co-working spaces, two fully enclosed phone rooms, semi-private desks, and even a coffee station.

ONE OF A KIND

“At Aldergrove Town Centre, we’re creating a vibrant heart in one of the Lower Mainland’s most convenient locations, one that balances the modern excitement of city life with the charm of country living just a stone’s throw away,” Janda says. “It’s designed for modern families seeking a safe and peaceful setting that fosters a true community spirit. At Aldergrove Town Centre, we’re redefining what it means to live in the Fraser Valley.” Aldergrove Town Centre’s presentation centre opens soon onsite at 27540 Fraser Highway in Aldergrove, close to major commuter routes including the Fraser Highway and Highway 1.
