editor’snote

Solid investment decisions begin at home

I

s there a positive to buying a new home in our current economic climate?

You bet there is.

When you buy from a new-home builder, your investment is backed by a strong warranty program. It protects your deposit before the home is built and it offers protection against defects in work and materials, unauthorized substitutions and delayed closings or occupancies after the home is constructed.

What are the other positives of buying a new home? New housing prices are extremely competitive at this time and interest rates are low. If you think posted rates look good, ask your bank or mortgage broker if they can do better.

While no one can guarantee what their home will be worth in the next 10 or 20 years, ask a recent new-home buyer what the value of their home is now. Chances are you will see them smile. There has been a steady increase in the price of new homes, especially in communities with new amenities such as schools, shopping and transit. There are no rules about what exactly a builder or sales representative must tell you about your prospective new neighbourhood, so do some homework of your own and investigate the area.

The media often stresses the negative side of the story. It’s time to make solid investment decisions, and look beyond the doom and gloom. Investigate how you can make Canada’s economic environment work for you.

Happy new-home hunting!

Making informed choices

Canadians are making rational decisions when it comes to buying their first home

B

uying a home is a dream for many Canadians, but with rising prices, increasingly tight mortgage regulations and reports of questionable market conditions in some areas and housing categories, where to begin?

With careful planning and research, that’s where.

Indeed, Canadians are showing that despite any challenges facing the real estate market, they are taking the time to learn what they need to, and to make rational, informed choices.

A new survey from Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada reports a significant rise in the number of recent first-time buyers who put down more than 20 per cent on their homes – 56 per cent, up from 36 per cent last year.

Other new research, the BMO First-Time Home Buyer’s Report, indicates that two-thirds of first-time buyers say the latest changes to mortgage regulations – which reduced the maximum amortization for government-insured mortgages to 25 years from 30 – have not affected their buying timeline. Many even favour a 20-year amortization.

By saving longer for larger down payments, and aiming to pay off their mortgages sooner, clearly Canadians are becoming increasingly responsible about these important homebuying steps.

FREMONT BLUE Live on the water

by SUSAN M BOYCE

I

t’s a fi rst for the Tri-Cities: a dazzling master-planned community located directly beside the Pitt River and just steps from the Traboulay Trail. Introducing FREMONT BLUE. And if you thought you knew PoCo, get set to gain a whole new perspective on this dynamic city.

“This part of Port Coquitlam is undergoing the most significant new development of any area in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland,” says MOSAIC’s Geoff Duyker. “Our new FREMONT Riverfront District will bring 650 new homes, plus there’s 650,000 sq. ft. of new retail coming at The Fremont Fremont Village – much of it already open.”

neighbourhood really is like a secret gem, something you have to experience to truly understand.

GEOFF DUYKER

Enviable Lifestyles “FREMONT BLUE is the first phase in this masterplanned community and is one of those properties that’s so unique, you can

just sense what a great place it’s going to be to live in”, Geoff says. “Let’s face it, not many people have an opportunity to live on the water, and when they do, it’s typically at an extremely high cost. Here we have homes starting in the $350,000s – and the first ones will be ready for move-in this summer.”

He adds that many people still aren’t aware a place like this exists, and that’s something he wants to change. “MoneySense recently named Port Coquitlam as the third most livable city in the Province. And within Port Coquitlam, the Fremont neighbourhood really is like a secret gem, something you have to experience to truly understand.”

With construction now well underway, FREMONT BLUE’s distinctive character is already emerging. “This is our second property using the Saltbox architecture that we premiered at METRO in Burnaby,” Geoff says. “So naturally we’re continuing to fine tune, to make it even more striking and iconic.”

In true MOSAIC style, these homes use layered architectural details including rich, red brick and bold, blue shingles to create an intriguing visual texture. “Rather than just a plain bay window, we’ve also used corner-wrap windows and shadowbox frames in white to give an extra ‘punch’ that complements the building’s dramatic articulation.”

4/16/13 5:16:17 PM

Here’s to Your Good Taste Although the first showhome is not quite ready, Geoff agrees to give me a sneak peek. This is a two-bedroom and den with an entertainmentfriendly central kitchen – big island/eating bar, plenty of counters and cabinetry space, and great appliances. Upstairs there’s one of the lavish master ensuites with luxuriously deep soaker tubs that always look so… well, decadent and relaxing.

“And check out this view,” Geoff says, directing me toward the massive cornerwrap windows. “That green area about 100 yards over there is Dominion Park. And you see Pitt River just beyond? Well, Traboulay Trail is right between the river and the park – less than a minute from your front door in other words. This really is a setting you won’t find often.”

Pitt Meadows, so FREMONT will be our second riverfront master-planned community and a continuation of our passion for exceptional design aesthetics,” Geoff says. “Ultimately, there will be rowhomes and condominiums, so there really will be something for people at all life stages – which is an exciting opportunity for us to be part of. And because the entire community will have an underlying architectural theme, it’s going to feel very cohesive and welcoming.”

Discover for Yourself FREMONT’s Home Store and three display homes open this May. Prices start in the mid $300,000s for these two-, three- and four-bedroom rowhomes. Exceptional access to schools, transit and parks plus a bridgeless commute to Vancouver.

Check it out for yourself at 2332 Ranger Lane in Fremont, Port Coquitlam. For more information and to priority-register, visit mosaichomes.com/fremont or call 604.552.0319.

FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS

showing their rational side

ACCORDING TO A NATIONAL SURVEY

conducted by Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada (Genworth Canada), first-time homebuyers are adjusting to the new mortgage requirements and making informed choices about homeownership.

The annual poll, completed in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Credit Counselling Services (CACCS), asked 1,514 Canadians questions about their fi nancial well-being and preparedness. The 2013 survey revealed that there was a significant rise in the number of recent fi rst-time buyers who

Canadians entering the real estate market are making financially astute choices by saving longer and putting down larger deposits on their homes,” says Brian Hurley, chairman and CEO of Genworth Canada.

say they put down more than 20 per cent on their homes (56 per cent versus 36 per cent in the 2012 survey). In fact, the number of people that said it is getting harder to save for that down payment is on the decline (50 per cent versus 55 per cent in 2012) with more fi rst-time buyers fi nding it easier to save money (nine per cent, up from five per cent in 2012). In addition, only 17 per cent of respondents thought it was a good time to buy, suggesting that low interest rates alone are not enough to entice Canadians to purchase a home.

“Canadians entering the real estate market are making fi nancially astute choices by saving longer and putting down larger deposits on their homes,” says Brian Hurley, chairman and CEO of Genworth Canada. “They continue to value homeownership and are being responsible about the way they enter into mortgage debt. This trend bodes well for a soft-landing of the housing market.”

Among fi rst-time homebuyers, the proportion saving for less than two years has decreased by nearly 30 per cent, while the proportion saving for more than five years rose by more than 50 per cent. This appears to indicate that fewer fi rsttime homebuyers feel a sense of urgency about entering the real estate market, which is consistent with the fact that fewer expect house prices to rise in the next twelve months.

“There is still a strong need for Canadians to have a better grasp on their financial situation,” says Henrietta Ross, CEO of CACCS. “More than 40 per cent don’t think their credit rating reflects them or don’t know what their credit rating is.

Counselling could help ensure they are fi nancially prepared to enter and maintain substantial investments, such as homeownership.”

CIBC Mortgage Poll:

CANADIANS THINK THE TIME IS RIGHT TO LOCK INTO A FIXED MORTGAGE A NEW CIBC POLL CONDUCTED

by Harris/Decima reveals Canadians are leaning towards fi xed-rate mortgages this Spring, marking the third consecutive year Canadians have chosen fi xed over variable.

The poll also reveals a change in Canadians’ expectations for interest rates, with more Canadians now believing today’s low rates will remain in place for at least the next 12 months.

» 45 per cent of Canadians said they would choose a fi xed rate mortgage if they had to decide today; fi xed rate mortgages were most popular among 25 to 34 year olds, with 54 cent stating they would select a fi xed rate mortgage, likely due to the predictability a fi xed rate offers to first-time homebuyers » 26 per cent of Canadians said they would choose a variable rate mortgage » Another 25 per cent said they were uncertain which mortgage would be right for them, an increase over the 16 per cent who were undecided in 2012

Highlights of the poll include: » 46 per cent of Canadians believe today’s low rates will remain unchanged over the next year, a notable increase from the same poll two years ago when only 24 per cent of Canadians believed interest rates would remain low

“Deciding between a fi xed or variable rate mortgage is one of the most important decisions in finding a mortgage that is right for you,” says Colette Delaney, executive vice-president of mortgage, lending, insurance and deposit products, CIBC. Delaney notes that balancing debt, savings and other financial goals is important to achieving what matters to you in the long term. A predictable mortgage payment at today’s low interest rates

can help you to pay down your mortgage faster and minimize interest costs, which can keep your broader financial goals on track. “Your mortgage should fit your life, you shouldn’t have to re-arrange your life for your mortgage, and that’s where an advisor can help you determine the mortgage terms and payment that fit with your financial goals.”

While fi xed mortgages were popular in the poll, this year’s results also saw an increase in Canadians uncertain as to whether a fi xed or variable rate mortgage would be right for them, highlighting the importance of getting advice about which option is the best fit with your finances.

for your next mortgage term and consider the impact to your budget if you renew at higher rates a few years down the road.”

Low rates an opportunity to accelerate debt repayment

In a poll released by CIBC in January 2013, Canadians identified paying down debt as their number one financial priority for 2013 for the third year in a row. Delaney notes that low mortgage rates can help Canadians to accelerate their debt repayment.

“With debt repayment a top priority for Canadians again in 2013, there is an opportunity to take advantage of today’s When will rates rise? Canadians see rates remaining low low mortgage rates to reduce your mortgage principal faster.”

Forty-six per cent of Canadians believe today’s low rates will To further accelerate debt repayment, one strategy offered remain unchanged over the next 12 months. This is a change by CIBC is to set your mortgage payment at the amount it from past poll results, where Canadians were more likely to would be if rates were one to two per cent higher.

This trend suggests Canadians could face challenges in “Your mortgage is one component of your overall financial the future if they don’t consider rate changes as part of their plan, which means you can’t choose a mortgage purely on rate” long term mortgage strategy. adds Delaney. “A number of factors, including amortization, “Our poll suggests that some Canadians are growing ac- the flexibility to make extra payments, and whether or not you customed to the low rates we are experiencing, however it’s have other debt should all be considered when choosing the important to take a long term view when deciding which mort- mortgage that’s right for you.” gage is right for you,” says Delaney. “You need to plan ahead

Mackenzie Estates History meets vision

by SUSAN M BOYCE

S

pring’s definitely in the air. And that’s got people thinking about a new home, especially here at Mackenzie Estates in Surrey’s East Clayton neighbourhood.

Now well under construction, Mackenzie Estates’ architecture has an almost whimsical charm – sweeping gables, façades with multiple colours and textures, plus intriguing pop-out niches and gently curved interior streets.

“Another neat aspect about Mackenzie Estates is the fact it’s a heritage site with a long history in the community,” says Mark Lofthouse from LA Marketing. He points to a rustic homestead on one corner of the property. “In the early 1900s, that was known as Lawrence Cottage. We’re going to restore it, relocate it, then transform it into our amenity building – so we’ll preserve some of that history.”

All our plans are designed to utilize every inch of space well — even the garages. MARK LOFTHOUSE

Fabulous Floorplans The site may be historic, but inside these homes are all about 21st Century living. First on our tour is a Plan A end home that’s flooded with natural light from massive windows on three sides. Mark assures me that yes, every home has 10-ft. ceilings on the main floor and yes, every home has the same lavish crown mould-

ings and over-sized baseboards. “Details like this create a sense of elegance that our buyers appreciate,” he explains.

Thanks to its almost square configuration, this plan also gives delightful new meaning to the concept of kitchen as heart of the home. Storage is amazing – plenty of room for all those gadgets and gizmos dear to any foodie’s heart. But it’s the way the entire space flows effortlessly outward until it morphs into the rest of this main living level that most captivates me. There are distinct areas for dining, relaxing, even working at the built-in tech nook, yet everything feels cohesive, connected and inviting.

“All our plans are designed to utilize every inch of space well – even the garages,” Mark says opening the door. This home has a side-by-side garage and after he paces out a generous carlength from the entry, there’s still at least seven feet of room left plus a bump-out area at the side.

“This is such a bonus,” Mark says. “Workshop and cycle repair maybe? Mini-gym?” I nod although my mind immediately thinks “wine cellar.” But choice is good right?

Mackenzie Estates offers 71 three-bedroom townhomes priced from the low $300,000s. Grand opening April 27-28 at Fraser Hwy. and 184th St. For more information and to priority-register so you’re among the first to see for yourself, visit mackenzieestates.ca or call 604.538.2125.

Breeze South Surrey savvy I

t’s official. Breeze is a hit with savvy homebuyers on the quest for a spacious, contemporary townhome in South Surrey.

“Pre-sales were superb, we’re halfway sold out, and demand has been so strong we’ve released another phase with exciting new floorplans months ahead of schedule – People are absolutely just in time for the market,” says wowed when they see spring a clearly delighted Breeze’s architectural E r ic A nd re a sen , style and exotic curb v ice-president of appeal. marketing and sales.

Eric Andreasen “It’s been amazing watching this site go from bare land to a vibrant community that almost 100 people are calling home in just about a year. I’d say it’s been a blockbuster success all round.”

by Susan M Boyce Exotic, dramatic, connected The Breeze experience, he says, starts immediately as you arrive. “People are absolutely wowed when they see Breeze’s architectural style and exotic curb appeal. Dramatic flat rooflines, cedar soffits, expansive windows and a portico-style entryway to each home – it’s all a reflection of the natural beauty that’s part of our West Coast lifestyle.”

Interiors, too, are breathtaking. “We’ve made kitchens and bathrooms a real focal priority, with some of the best finishings you’ll find,” Eric says. “Details like having a spacious dining island so guests can choose to eat there if they don’t need to spread out to the dining room, keeping the main living area open to maximize use of every square inch, and having spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows so there’s a sense of flow between your home and the central courtyard – it’s all part of the active, social lifestyle our buyers enjoy.”

“The kitchen definitely pushed our hot buttons,” says one couple who purchased almost as soon as Breeze came to market last fall. “We both enjoy cooking together, so having a big one was a must. And we have a good sized deck right off the kitchen, so it will be perfect for barbecuing with friends or just on our own.”

Location, location, location “This part of South Surrey is always such a sought after neighbourhood because of its proximity to Morgan Crossing,” Eric says. “Everything from fashion to dining, from sports and services to banks and coffee shops is right there. Plus access to the Peach Arch border is a snap for anyone who likes to pop across to Blaine for cheap gas and groceries, and if you do need to get to downtown Vancouver, you can be there in about 45 minutes – this morning I drove it in just under 40.”

Active living Also winning accolades and capturing hearts is the upcoming West Coast Club at Breeze, the community’s spa-inspired amenities building. “This is going to be so much more than a just a workout area and some sofas,” Eric stresses. “West Coast Club at Breeze will be a social hub for the entire community, a place where people are able to relax and chat with their neighbours, entertain larger groups of friends, and yes, get a good workout too.”

Plans include a yoga/dance studio, lounge/meeting spaces, entertainment kitchen, massive outdoor terrace and indoor/outdoor fireplace. “At every project where we’ve offered amenities, buyers have told us they love having a dedicated club. At Breeze, our homeowners will

benefit from everything we’ve learned from previous buyers. There’s no doubt in my mind that this will be our finest effort to date.”

Check out the New Breeze And Eric’s got one final piece of good news. “We’re always delighted to get feedback from our homeowners. We’ve listened to our buyers’ comments, and this summer, we’ll be releasing some new features that will create some exciting new options and alternatives.” He smiles. “But you’re just going to have to visit to find out more.”

Breeze currently has a few select homes ready for immediate occupancy – meaning you could be hosting your friends and family for summer barbecues in no time at all. New phases coming soon.

The Breeze presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. every day at 15 – 16223 – 23A Ave. in South Surrey. For more information, visit adera.com or call 604.582.1113. apr 19 - may 03, 2013 | metro vancouver new home guide 55

Four reasons to choose an energy-efficient new home 01

ENERGY SAVINGS Today, 17 per cent of all energy used in Canada goes toward running our homes. We consume a significant amount of energy for heating our homes in the winter and cooling them in the summer, and don’t forget about the energy we use to heat water used for bathing and cleaning.

Imagine the savings on your energy bills if you choose an energy efficient new home.

02

BETTER TO LIVE IN Energy efficient homes have fewer of those uncomfortable drafts and cold spots. Some homes have specially designed ventilation systems that bring fresh outdoor air in and send stale indoor air out. R-2000 certified homes, for example, are built using healthier building materials, such as low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, flooring and cabinets to further improve the indoor air quality.

03

BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Most of the energy we consume in Canada comes from fossil fuels. As a result, the energy we save in heating, cooling and powering our home will help reduce our environmental footprint. In

addition, using energy efficient light bulbs, low-flow showerheads and water-conserving toilets will all contribute to a Greener home. Many new energy efficient homes are being built using insulation, drywall or wood trim that were manufactured using recycled materials.

04

AFFORDABILITY Buying expensive, custom-built homes used to be the only way to acquire an energy efficient home. Today, thanks to initiatives such as Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), the EnerGuide rating system, R-2000 Standard, and Energy Star for New Homes, consumers looking to achieve greater energy efficiency at home have a much wider array of energy efficient options to choose from, even in tract built homes.

If you are planning to buy a new home in the coming months, spend some time on the NRCan website at newhomes.nrcan. gc.ca or call 1.800.O.Canada (1.800.622.6232) for more information on the various energy efficiency programs that are available in Canada. NC

Container architecture

Q&A

WITH CORLEY BANKS

by SUSAN M BOYCE HERE ON THE WEST COAST, THEY’RE PRACTICALLY

part of the scenery. Walk along the Stanley Park Seawall and you’ll probably see a minimum of a dozen freighters loaded down with massive shipping containers filled with goods and materials either coming or going to foreign lands.

A container’s seagoing lifespan is approximately 10 years, 15 tops. But what happens to these incredibly strong, metal structures after that? So far in Canada, the answer is “not much.” However, in Europe container architecture is a wellestablished, respected housing alternative.

And now, some Canadians are saying it’s time to follow suit. This issue New Home Guide talks with Corley Banks, founding partner of Arch/Inter Designs about some of the

myths and realities of building houses out of containers.

Q: What’s the biggest misconception people have about container architecture?

A: When people think about a shipping container, they think “box.” So they think it’s going to be very limiting when in fact, it’s quite the opposite — it’s all to do with how you put them together. You can stagger them, put them perpendicular to each other, stack them… the combinations are endless.

They’re also extremely durable, resistant to rain and wind, they can take a huge amount of stress, and because most containers are 40 ft. long by eight ft. wide by 9.5 ft. high, even if you use a foot along the top for plumbing and electrical, you’re still going to end up with rooms that are 8.5 ft. high.

This isn’t a new idea. In Europe, you see container buildings all over — they’re even used for apartment buildings.

Q: You’re currently designing an 1,800 sq. ft. house/artist’s gallery in Anmore. What’s been the biggest challenge?

A: Even though the process is already used and quite straightforward, finding a fabricating shop that was willing to do the physical transformation took a lot of time and research.

062-063 Q&A Corley Banks - Crazy for Containers-WK.indd 62

4/16/13 5:35:00 PM

03 02

04

01 The ground floor of this 1,800-sq.ft. home Arch/Inter is going to build in Anmore.

02 In the UK, containers were used to build this “Colourful Container City.”

03 This Quebec home was one of the first Canadian houses built using containers.

04 An innovative, fun way to add some design punch.

We finally found a company called Mod-Pro who converts containers into construction offices for companies like PCL or even into modular schoolrooms. It was a natural because they were already set up for it.

Q: So what is the process?

A: In the most simplistic terms, it’s actually quite similar to a mobile home. Conduits for electrical and plumbing are installed in the shell — usually across the ceiling or floor. Any spaces required for windows and doors are cut out. The shells are then put on a truck — let’s face it, you already know they’re going to fit — and it’s all shipped off to the site.

When the containers arrive, you just weld it all together, finish the inside, and add the exterior materials that can be anything from cedar shingles to metal to manmade products like HardiPlank.

One thing we’ve recently started doing is putting the insulation on the outside rather than the interior. Since you’re adding siding in any case, it make more sense to add the four inches required for the insulation to the outside rather than have it encroach into the interior living space.

Q: You’re a fan of green construction techniques. How do container homes fit with that philosophy?

A: I’ve always been an eco-girl looking for different ways to be green, and this fits on many levels. First, you’re recycling existing materials that would otherwise just be taking up space.

There’s far less waste during the conversion, and any left over materials like flooring or wiring can be used on the project.

It’s also much less intrusive on the land because so much is done in a shop rather than on site, and when you get to the site, it’s very fast to put up. And all that adds up to cost effectiveness — between 15 and 30 per cent cheaper than traditional building methods.

Q: You’ve described the Anmore project as “crazy creative.”

Can you give us a few hints?

A: Sure. Each level is actually three containers put side-by-side lengthwise, but by staggering them, we’ve created lots different outlooks on the property and the lake — almost like little hideaways within the overall, very open floorplan. There are lots and lots of windows throughout, but upstairs we’re adding huge banks of window walls to give a gallery feeling. We’re also going to add other features like rainwater collection basins and outdoor areas perhaps with a fire pit and definitely with lots of relaxing spaces. It’s a very exciting project and one we hope will set some new trends.

Corley Banks is a partner at Arch/Inter Designs in Vancouver. In addition to pioneering shipping container architecture in Vancouver, the company offers interior design and architectural services.

Conquer clutter this spring

Tips for a tidy home Spring is traditionally a time to freshen your

house from top to bottom. This year, the cleaning and organizing specialists at Molly Maid have some easy and inexpensive ideas to get your home clutter free and organized. Before cleaning, try these tips:

Hanging shoe organizers make great storage for cleaning supplies, kids’ toys, toiletries and yes, even shoes! In the kitchen, these handy organizers can hold spice jars, even small utensils.

No more mismatched sheets. Keep sheet sets together by tucking top and fitted sheets into their matching pillow case.

Cleanse your closet. Spring is a great time to give your closet the once over. Decide if you want to keep, toss or donate items that are seldom or never worn.

Storing belts, scarves and ties is easy when you attach round shower curtain hooks to hangers. Belts won’t fall down and fabrics will be crease free.

Decorate and organize at the same time. Attach stuffed toys to a strip of velcro in the play room to create a fun way to display kids’ favourite plush toys.

Corral metal clippers, nail files, and hair elastics in one handy place - secure a magnetic strip inside the medicine cabinet. Voila!

Store rolls of wrapping paper in a garment bag and vow to never juggle loose rolls again.

Packing a suitcase? Stuff shoes with socks or other small items. Then put each pair of shoes inside a shower cap to prevent clothes from getting dirty.

For more organizing and decluttering tips, visit mollymaid.ca
