EDITOR’S NOTE

LOOKING BACK

TO PLAN AHEAD

MARLENE EISNER EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide

We thought 2020 was a tough year — and it was. Perhaps it was good preparation for 2021, a challenging 12 months that forced us to be ever courageous in the face of the continuing pandemic, new ways of working and socializing, natural disasters and economic uncertainty. But as always, we were resilient and adapted to the ebb and flow, ready to face whatever came our way. Looking back on the year is always a good exercise to help us prepare for what’s ahead, a practice we at New Home + Condo Guide embrace with serious enthusiasm. If you haven’t been keeping track of how the housing industry has been faring, you’ll want to take a few moments to read the articles on page 24 (The Year That Was 2021 by Susan M. Boyce) and page 29 (2021 Roared with Activity, Screamed for Supply by Cameron McNeill). These insights into the past year will give you the broad strokes you need to be up-todate on how to plan for your new-home purchase in 2022. Also in this issue, our mortgage specialist, Alisa AragonLloyd, explains mortgage and real estate fraud — and how to avoid it — and Susan M. Boyce spends 10 minutes with Michael Sikich discussing why homebuyers are flocking to Vancouver Island. Since this is our last issue of 2021, we want to take the time to wish you and your loved ones peace, health and happiness during the holiday season and beyond. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of our January 8, 2022 issue, where you’ll read about what the experts are predicting for the New Year.

One Park by Grand Long, a $330-million, mixed-use office, residential and retail project in Richmond, is the first ‘Class A’ office space to be constructed in the city in over 20 years.

Mass timber on Surrey’s horizon Vancouver developer Adera has announced plans to build Surrey’s first mass timber residential condominium residence, to be located on the southeast corner of 105th Avenue and 132nd Street in Surrey City Centre. The asyet unnamed pair of six-storey buildings and plaza will consist of 248, one- and two-bedroom

homes with an emphasis on costeffective floorplans that provide affordable home ownership options for first-time buyers and young families. It’s a great location near two elementary schools, SkyTrain, shopping, restaurants, and parks. Visit Adera.com for more information as it comes available.

The Vancouver Christmas market is back

New homes planned near BCIT A proposed joint venture between the Musqueam Indian Band, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, and Aquilini Development could see some 5,000 new homes plus a 450,000-squarefoot film studio coming to the 40-acre Willingdon Lands, located on the southwest corner of Canada Way and Willingdon Avenue. The development proposal was presented to the City of Burnaby on Nov. 23 and will now enter a

phase of public consultations. If approved, this master-planned community will incorporate a First Nations cultural centre, a medicine garden and an outdoor hearth where indigenous nations and the wider community can gather for learning and shared celebrations. Housing types are anticipated to include leasehold strata, market and affordable rentals, live-work units, and a much-needed daycare centre.

Get those Glühwein mugs ready! The Vancouver Christmas Market returns to Jack Poole Plaza until Dec. 24. This much-loved family tradition brings a German-style extravaganza of food and drinks, one-of-a-kind craft boutiques, and live entertainment to Coal Harbour. Check out the Christmas carousel, get a photo with Santa or your favourite Christmas character via the virtual reality photo booth, or simply savour the holiday lights and ambiance.

COVER STORY

TEMPLETON TOWNHOMES AND TESLAS Affectionately known as “the Tesla of townhomes,” Templeton is shaking up the way people think of life on Commercial Drive. This future-focused collection of condominiums, townhomes, and garden suites is the first to introduce Passive Haus construction to this popular Vancouver neighbourhood. And it’s definitely turning heads among savvy homebuyers. COMFORT, VALUE, AND A REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT

Sunny Dhillon, CEO and founder of DIMEX Group, believes Passive Haus design is definitely the way of the future. Why? The answer is simple. Passive Haus’ combination of environmental stewardship, quality, and sheer good looks creates homes that feel good.

“Because Templeton is a unique methodology of homes that’s first to market in East Vancouver, people often don’t understand how Passive Haus will immediately benefit their lifestyle,” acknowledges Meghan Simington, Director of Marketing. “DIMEX Group’s founders, Sunny Dhillon and Elnaz Dhillon, wanted to design family homes that are purposefully built for the future. With the City of Vancouver’s new sustainability initiatives in mind, the solution was actually simple. Homeowners are now getting a home that’s designed to meet the City of Vancouver’s 2032 Step Code standards, provide superior air quality, and save as much as 90 percent on their heating bills with this methodology.” And she stresses that even though many folks think the

16 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2021–Jan. 8, 2022

price point will be prohibitive for purchasers, Templeton’s cost per square foot is actually the same as traditional construction. And in 10 years, you’ll save as much as $15,000 on operating costs. So what’s not to like about all that? A TESLA IN YOUR DRIVEWAY

Now here’s the super exciting part about Templeton and Teslas — a promotion that’s as innovative as these residences are. Until the end of December 2021, buyers who purchase a three-bedroom plus flex-room F Plan will receive a sleek, state-of-the-art Tesla vehicle at no charge. “We thought this was a fun, and very practical, way to show people that we’re totally committed to helping our

homeowners reduce their carbon footprint.” Meghan grins. “I bought my first electric car a few months ago, and I love it. I’m saving over $400 a month because I no longer have to buy gas, and I just plug it in when I get home every evening. You don’t even need a special charger, which is the same as our 100 percent electric homes at Templeton.” WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Long popular for its unique vibe, Commercial Drive is a melting pot of cultures, arts, and generations. It’s a neighbourhood where high fashion and organic food markets

rub shoulders with an eclectic array of art galleries, antique shops, and some of the finest coffee bistros in the city. When you visit, be sure to leave time to check out some of the many ethnic restaurants like Havana or Carthage Cafe. Templeton is located at First Avenue and Templeton Street in East Van. Presentation centre open by appointment at 610 – 1155 West Pender Street in downtown Vancouver. Be one of the first to experience future living today.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

CommerCial Drive (East VancouVEr)

“vanCouver’s GreenwiCh villaGe” by Lydia Mcnutt Equally known for Euro cafés, ethnic eateries and bongo drums, Commercial Drive is often described as “Vancouver’s Greenwich Village.” And if you’ve ever visited either of these places, you instantly get that vibrant, bohemian vibe that puts originality – and dare we say, oddity – on a pedestal. The Drive boasts Vancouver’s second-highest concentration of heritage commercial buildings and an abundance of Edwardian-style homes that bring its history to life. Whether you’re walking the 21-block area between Venables to the north and 13th Avenue to the south or absorbing it all from one of the many street-side patios, there’s lots to take in, in this vibrant east Vancouver pocket. NEIGHBOURHOOD vIBE

The Drive is home to more than 400 businesses, most of which are one-off, owner-operated and 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2021–Jan. 8, 2022

one-of-a-kind, offering everything from vintage clothing, folk art and books, to music, hardware and organic foods. Matching the area’s eclectic commercial profile, the residents here are a diverse bunch from a variety of ethnic, financial

and professional backgrounds. This iconic area is outside of Vancouver’s tourist district, making it a stomping ground for locals, or visitors to get a taste of some true-blue Vancouverites and home-grown flavours. MEEt tHE NEIGHBOURs

Called “Little Italy” in the 1950s, the neighbourhood has transitioned from a predominantly Italian and Portuguese population to a melting pot of cultures, brimming with bohemian beatniks and hipsters of every kind – students, writers, artists, musicians and laid-back souls. IN tHE aREa

The Drive boasts some two dozen independent coffee shops, as well as ethnic eateries of every variety. But leave room for a craft beer or three – area bars boast bottles and draughts by local breweries that are worthy of a toast. While shopping, stop by one of many outdoor markets and stock up on fresh fares for a picnic at Grandview Park or John Hendry Park at Trout Lake. PROs & CONs

Once you see past the gritty facade, you’ll come to appreciate the neighbourhood’s closeknit community spirit shared by hippies and families alike. PLaNEs, tRaINs & aUtOMOBILEs

Catch the #20 Victoria Drive bus which runs along The Drive, as well as both the SkyTrain’s Expo Line and Millennium Line at Commercial–Broadway Station. DOLLaRs & sENsE

This downtown-east Vancouver area boasts lower property prices compared to west Vancouver ‘hoods, but offers good city services, social scene, and is a transit hub connecting you to the rest of the city. nexthome.ca 19

ADVICE | MORTGAGE MINUTE

BEWARE OF MORTGAGE AND TITLE

FRAUD ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

Now a days, with the amount of information that is shared on the internet and social media, identity theft and Ponzi schemes are happening regularly. The last thing you want to worry about is yet another way to lose your hardearned money. But as a homeowner, you need to be aware of crimes on the rise known as mortgage fraud and real estate title fraud. MORTGAGE FRAUD

Some borrowers may think that providing false documents and making false statements are not a big deal. However, Canada’s Criminal Code clearly states that obtaining funds, including mortgages by providing false information, is a crime.

The most common type of mortgage fraud involves a criminal obtaining a property, then increasing its value through a series of sales and resales involving the fraudster and someone working in cooperation with them. A mortgage is then secured for the property based on the inflated price. The following are some red flags for mortgage fraud: • Someone offers you money to use your name and credit information to obtain a mortgage. • You are encouraged to include false information on a mortgage application. • You are asked to leave signature lines or other important areas of your mortgage application blank. • The seller or investment advisor discourages you from seeing or inspecting the property you will be purchasing. • The seller or developer rebates you money on closing, and you don’t disclose this to your lending institution.

20 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2021–Jan. 8, 2022

TITLE FRAUD

When you purchase a home, you purchase the title to the property. Your solicitor registers you as the owner of the property in the provincial land title office. Title fraud normally starts with identity theft. This occurs when your personal information is collected and used by someone identifying themselves as you. There are several ways criminals can steal your identity without your knowledge that include: • Dumpster diving • Mail box theft • Phishing • Computer hacking Sadly, the only red flag for title fraud occurs when your mortgage mysteriously goes into default and the lender begins foreclosure proceedings. Even worse, as the homeowner, you are the one hurt by title fraud, rather than the lender, as is often the case with mortgage fraud. Unlike with mortgage fraud, during title fraud, you haven’t been

approached or offered anything – this is a form of identity theft. Here’s what happens with title fraud:

A criminal – using false identification to pose as you – registers forged documents transferring your property to his/her name, then registers a forced discharge of your existing mortgage and gets a new mortgage against your property. Then the fraudster makes off with the new home loan money without making mortgage payments. The bank thinks you are the one defaulting – and your economic downfall begins. The following are ways you can protect yourself from title fraud:

• Ensure you keep personal information confidential when on the internet or phone until you know who you are dealing with, how it will be used and if it will be shared with anyone. • Only carry minimal information and identification in your wallet and don’t have your social insurance card with you. • Check your credit report regularly. You can get them free when you request them from the Equifax and Transunion when they mail them to your home. If you notice anything suspicious, contact the credit bureau right away. • Check your financial, bank and credit card statements regularly for any inconsistencies and unknown charges. • Consider obtaining a title insurance policy, as title insurance protects against many title risks associated with real estate transactions. • Check your mailbox for mail regularly, if not every day. • Shred and destroy any financial and personal identification documents, as well as any unsolicited credit card applications rather than just simply throwing them away.

• If you don’t receive your bills or other mail, follow up with your creditors. • If you receive credit cards that you didn’t apply for or if you did apply for them and didn’t receive them. • Contact your mortgage lender first if you are having difficulty making your mortgage payments. The following are ways to protect

aware of any additional fees or charges. Ask questions if you are not sure. • Know and understand what you are signing. If you have questions, ask. If you are not comfortable or something is not right, do not sign the documents. • You might want to consider using your own solicitor for legal advice if you are asked to use the same lawyer as the seller.

yourself from title fraud when purchasing or refinancing a home:

“STRAW BUYER” SCHEME

• Work with a licensed real estate agent who is familiar with the area you are interested in buying. Select someone that can provide trusted referrals and check them out. • Check listings in the community where the property is located – compare features, size and location to establish if the asking price seems reasonable. • Always view the property you are purchasing in person, don’t buy without seeing it first. • Beware of a real estate agent or mortgage broker who has a financial interest in the transaction. • Ask for a copy of the land title or go to a registry office and request a historical title search. • In the offer to purchase, include the option to have the property inspected and appraised. • When giving a deposit when purchasing a property ensure the funds will be held “in trust” with a solicitor or a real estate agency and not directly with the seller. • Insist on a home inspection to guard against buying a home that has been cosmetically renovated or formerly used as a grow house or meth lab. • Ask to see receipts and permits for recent renovations. • Consider purchasing title insurance. • Review and make sure you are comfortable with the terms and conditions of the mortgage commitment letter or approval. • Review the “cost of borrowing disclosure statement” and be

Another term for mortgage fraud is the “straw” or “dummy” homebuyer scheme. For instance, a renter does not have a good credit rating or is self-employed and cannot get a mortgage, or doesn’t have a sufficient down payment, so he or she cannot purchase a home. He/she or an associate approaches someone else with solid credit. This person is offered a sum of money (can be as much as $10,000) to go through the motions of buying a property on the other person’s behalf – acting as a straw buyer. The person with good credit lends their name and credit rating to the person who cannot be approved for a mortgage for his or her purchase of a home. It’s important to remember if something doesn’t seem right, it usually isn’t. Always follow your instincts when it comes to red flags during the home buying and mortgage processes.

FEATURE | YEAR IN REVIEW

Latimer Village features lavish outdoor amenities.

THE YEAR THAT WAS 2021 REBOUNDING AND REBUILDING by SUSAN M BOYCE

It’s been another year of dramatic change, a year that tested people’s courage in the face of natural disasters and economic uncertainly. But through it all, we showed our resilience and adaptability. And as 2021 draws to a close, it’s gratifying to look back on some of the highlights that prove it’s going to take more than a pandemic to stop us. MARKETS BOUNCE BACK

Industry watchers are unanimous in saying the sheer strength of the market rebound came as a welcome surprise after last year’s global meltdown. “By the end of this year, we will see more sales than we saw in 2016, which was the peak of the market,” notes

Michael Ferreira, principal and well-known market analyst with Zonda Urban. He cites renewed interest in highrise developments as one component of this escalating demand. Areas of note, he says, were Metrotown, Burquitlam, and one that caught many people off-guard, the Fraser Valley. “Tein Sher’s Flamingo One tower sold out in a weekend. And earlier this year, Vesta Properties launched two new towers at Latimer Village in Langley. The site is at 200th Street and Highway 1 in a predominantly ground-oriented neighbourhood that isn’t near the upcoming SkyTrain stations. And yet the majority of those homes were still sold within a few months.”

24 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2021–Jan. 8, 2022

Tien Sher Group of Companies also made history in April when they sold 138 of the 142 suites at Q5 in Whalley in a single day with not one person entering the discovery centre — the entire sales process was done electronically in the order contracts were received. “People were, quite literally, able to buy a home from the comfort of their sofa,” says Charan Sethi, president and “chief visionary officer.” SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Lack of supply is the greatest challenge Tracie McTavish, executive director of rennie, sees both now and moving forward. “MLS listings in October were under 10,000. Normally they would be 14,000 to 15,000.”

Outdoor spaces like this courtyard at Q5 are increasingly high on buyers’ must-have list. The first highrise residences in Langley are virtually sold out. (Vesta Properties)

All 886 homes at King George Hub’s first two towers, Plaza One and Plaza Two, were sold within eight months.

The pandemic, he adds, has accelerated the awareness of dwindling supply to meet increased demand. “In 2020, people saved a lot of money because they weren’t taking vacations or going out. Now people are tired of waiting, so they’re going through their bucket list — a new car, a boat, a new or sometimes a first home. There were a lot of move-up buyers in 2021.” Ironically, one area that hasn’t fared as well is downtown Vancouver, where prices have become too high for the average buyer. Still, McTavish notes there is

Co-working spaces, a fireside lounge, and a location in Surrey’s new downtown wowed buyers at Q5 by Tien Sher.

a spillover into other parts of the province as buyers search for a larger home at a more competitive price point. “Vancouver Island and Kelowna are on fire,” he says. “A few years ago, launching a condominium in Kelowna at $450/ square foot would be unheard of. Now you’re seeing product come to market at $1,000/square foot and selling out in a weekend.” STILL ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN THE WORLD

Like others throughout the development community, McTavish reiterates that our resilience as British Columbians

is one of the greatest highlights of 2021. “We got vaccinated, we were diligent in handling all aspects of COVID, and we adapted to the changes,” he says. “This year has proven BC is more than just a beautiful province, we’re a province with character and strength of will. And as we get it all behind us, we will continue to survive and thrive.” Be sure to join us in January 2022 when we take a look at what the experts are predicting for the New Year. And in the meantime, however you celebrate, may your holiday season be filled with joy and peace. nexthome.ca 25

ADVICE | CONDO SENSE

2021 ROARED WITH ACTIVITY, SCREAMED FOR SUPPLY

CAMERON MCNEILL

Who would have thought that 2021 would have brought such a robust level of pre-sale activity? Equally, it proved to us that there is an extreme lack of supply in the Greater Vancouver marketplace. Despite the continuance of a global pandemic, our province witnessed incredible demand for housing, and pre-sales across all regions saw overwhelming activity. As a result, housing supply has become a scarce resource. The scarcer it becomes, the higher the price points accelerate. A combination of market fundamentals is at play here. Generational low mortgage rates, lack of supply, and the newly adopted work-home relationship powered people’s purchasing decisions. This year, we saw many buyers looking farther to secondary markets like Coquitlam, Langley, Kelowna and Squamish as they became pushed out of price points in Greater Vancouver. In turn, price points in those regions have also risen, with pre-sale developments that typically took a few years to sell out, now selling out in a matter of days or weeks.

benefits of buying a pre-sale property. Although it may not be complete until a few years ahead, pre-sale is giving buyers more choice to decide on location, on finishings and amenities. As a result, pre-sale developments across the province are selling out faster than ever. We saw this at Caban by Cressey in Kelowna, where its entire 120 condominiums sold out in 24 hours of launching. We’re seeing this at Eastin by Essence Properties in Langley, with over 90 percent sold in its first weekend. The last 12 months have truly proven to be an incredibly active year for our pre-sale market, and one that exceeded our predictions made at the beginning of 2021. BACK IN APRIL, WE MADE BOLD PREDICTIONS

WE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN

Earlier this year, we anticipated that we would see double-digit growth in most pre-sale markets. We knew that developments were coming back to market after a slump in 2017 through to 2019, yet it still would not be enough to satisfy demand. Our prediction was that there would continue to be upward pressure on housing prices across Greater Vancouver. We now know that this year’s market activity far exceeded our predictions, and this pressure for more supply is only going to continue as we look to 2022.

Our nation and province are of the most sought-after places to live and invest in. Despite the hardships we’ve endured this year, from catastrophic drought and wildfires to the more recent devastating rain events, we prove to be resilient, time and time again. Our Canadian values remain strong, as does our real estate market for 2022.

SECONDARY MARKETS WERE ON FIRE

Because resale saw such limited supply across many regions, buyers have become more patient with their choices. They’re also understanding more of the

than ever. Remember, 2021 was an active market without this influx of new immigration. As borders continue to reopen, our real estate markets will witness upward pressure on all home types across many of our regions.

OUR REGION DESPERATELY NEEDS MORE HOUSING

With projected immigration of 1.2 million new Canadians expected to land in the next three years, we need housing now more

ISLAND BOUND A MORE LAID-BACK LIFESTYLE by SUSAN M BOYCE

It’s a well-known truism: there’s an allure to island living. Somehow, life seems a bit calmer, more social when you’re “an islander.” And as the pandemic-driven shift toward larger, more flexible home design continues, Vancouver Island is attracting attention from a diverse range of buyers looking for this more laid-back lifestyle. In this issue, we chat with Michael Sikich, principal at The Agency real estate marketing group, about some of the additional benefits. New Home + Condo Guide: Vancouver Island, especially the five municipalities that make up the Western Communities of Victoria, have seen a boom in development over the last few years. What’s the attraction? Michael Sikich: Well, there’s the obvious: it’s more affordable than Vancouver, the outdoor recreation is amazing, and it’s more laid back — people here understand how to enjoy life. But there are many other aspects people are just now discovering. The quality of post-secondary schooling, for example, is becoming a big draw. UVic has a great reputation and is expanding, Royal Rhodes University is attracting attention globally, plus Camosun College is also close by. We’re now seeing people who want to invest in real estate looking at some of the projects we’re marketing in Langford because their children are talking about moving to the Island to go to school. There used to be a perception that Victoria was 36 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2021–Jan. 8, 2022

mainly retired people, but that’s changing and it’s never been the case in the Western Communities — they’ve always been very family-oriented. NH+CG: Has the new emphasis on working from home impacted sales? MS: Yes. Zoom and video conferencing are now so seamless and accepted that one of our consultants had moved there at the beginning of the pandemic and many clients only found out recently. So, you’ve got the benefit of being able to have more space at home at a better price point, yet when you step off the ferry, you really do feel like it’s a different world than the Lower Mainland. NH+CG: What’s something you think would surprise most people about the Western Communities? MS: How livable and vibrant they are. In fact, last year,

Maclean’s magazine named Langford one of the most livable communities in Canada and BC’s number one community for people who work from home. You’ve got all the urban amenities people want, there’s a thriving arts and cultural scene, and the vacancy rate is near zero — so you know you can live, work, and play right in the same neighbourhood.
