The bonus of buying brand-new

SUSAN LEGGE

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Yellow Pages NextHome

re you thinking about buying a brand new condo since the resale market just doesn’t offer what you had in mind? It helps to think of the newcondo buying process in two different parts – buying and owning. And while each part has its own particular points to consider, there is one important element shared by both, the new-home warranty. Tarion is the warranty program covering all Ontario new homes and condos (excluding conversions of an existing building), by law. This agency acts as a dual role of regulator and insurer, protecting buyers from unforeseen problems and maintaining a high standard. Since 1976, Tarion has enrolled more than one million homes under warranty. It’s insurance you pay for as part of your new-home or condo purchase, and it is peace of mind that’s well worth the cost.

Tarion’s commitment to consumer protection starts right from the shopping stage through to ownership. To that end, Tarion offers a variety of resources for consumers, including a comprehensive website that educates you on all aspects of buying a new home, found at tarion.com Once you’ve settled into your new home, you can manage your warranty online through Tarion’s MyHome link. MyHome allows you to submit forms online and track their process so you have all your warranty information in one secure place. Links to info regarding each stage of the new-home buying process are also available at tarion.com, from finding a builder, illegal building, delayed closings and so much more. Once you see the value and the supporting resources a new condo offers, you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of buying new sooner.

12 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

ne thing I’ve learned since starting in real estate publishing is the difference between what financial planners call “good debt” and “bad debt”. Good debt, like a mortage, is debt you owe on an appreciating or income-producing asset, such as your home, investment property, or business. Consumer debt, on the other hand, is considered bad, as you’re paying off something that’s depreciating in value, such as a television, computer or car. No one is saying we shouldn’t purchase those things, just that we should purchase them with disposable income and not credit when at all possible. One thing that is saving people a considerable amount of consumer debt is

getting rid of their car, or going from two cars to one, and developers are helping to make this a very easy lifestyle transition in two meaningful ways. The first way is by incorporating carshare programs like Modo into their buildings, enabling people who don’t drive every day to get their errands done while saving hundreds a year on gas, insurance and maintenance. Another way is by building great buildings at transit hubs. When you take transit to work, you save money on a car, and never have to deal with the hassle and expense of parking. What would you do with all the money you could save each month? It could all add up to a vacation, a new television or even a bigger home.

Sakura

ONE OF A KIND IN SOUTH SURREY » by SUSAN M BOYCE “Dad. Mom. I want to live here. Pleeeease.” She may be pint sized, but there’s no mistaking that this is one Sakura visitor whose mind is made up. She wants to call South Surrey home and she wants to live at Sakura. From the smiles on their faces, it seems her parents are in full agreement. “Virtually the day construction began, people started asking when these homes would be available,” says Carly Willey, sales manager. “Sakura is something absolutely different in the South Surrey market — like Westside chic meets boutique fashion. People would literally be driving by, stop, and get out of their car to take a closer look.” HIGH DESIGN

No question about it, the first display home’s two-storey foyer with ultra-modern chandelier makes a dramatic statement of arrival — as if I’ve just stepped into the lobby of a contemporary art gallery. There’s a sense of airiness that only increases as we head upstairs to the open, sundrenched main living level. This is definitely an “oh wow” space where I could get comfortable very, very quickly. 16 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

Everything flows together — living room, kitchen, dining area — yet each has the ambiance of being distinct. And here’s something cool you just don’t see in a townhome — the living room is loft style and overlooks the foyer. Very different, very cosmopolitan. Mom, dad, and daughter are now happily ensconced at the kitchen’s eating bar discussing where their furniture and

Sakura is something absolutely different in the South Surrey market — like Westside chic meets boutique fashion. — Carly Willey

pictures could go. “This is such a cut above everything else we’ve seen in the neighbourhood,” dad says noticing my interest. “The quality, the finishings, everything. And it meets one of my absolute criteria — lots of natural light. Just look how bright it is in here.” Upstairs, Sakura has more surprises including a master suite with a 12-foot vaulted ceiling, massive walk-in closet with built-in wood organizers, as well as a totally unexpected view all the way across to the North Shore Mountains. In the ensuite, I discover a frameless glass shower with rain showerhead, heated flooring, and dual sinks that are cleverly separated by a slightly raised center vanity with drawers. More storage, lots of counter space, and room to keep my ‘stuff ’ separate from his ‘stuff ’ — this I like.

EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF

Sakura offers just 75 four-bedroom townhomes priced from the low $500,000s. Private previews of Sakura’s first limited release of homes are now happening by appointment only at 15688 – 28th Avenue in South Surrey. Be sure to hurry over and experience this one-ofa-kind community for yourself. To book your private appointment, call 604.538.5588 or visit SakuraLiving.ca.

TECH SAV V Y TOO

“Another feature buyers are really excited about is that every Sakura home is roughed in for a state-of-the-art HomePOINT™ home automation system,” Carly says pointing out the sleek, integrated touch panel on the wall opposite the kitchen. “From here you’ll be able to control everything from inside temperature and lighting to security and audio. Plus, for buyers who want it, we’ll design a customized automation program that suits their specific needs.” COMMUNITY LIFESTYLE

Sure to be a hit with homeowners, Sakura will feature extensive landscaping including water features — a perfect complement to the area’s proximity to the beaches and Serpentine River. Plus Carly tells me the Sakura Clubhouse will mean owners have access to a yoga/fitness centre, children’s play area, as well as an entertainment lounge with kitchen. “Parents are also excited because they’ll be walking distance to Sunnyside Elementary and Southridge Private School,” she adds. “The new South Surrey Aquatic Centre is barely five minutes, there are multiple golf courses close by, plus all the amenities of the Morgan Crossing shopping district are right down the greenway.” In other words, this is one ultra connected place to live.

Prefer more living space, a landscaped yard and a full basement? Elevate’s private reserve of luxurious threeand four-bedroom duplex homes, with no strata fees, is sure to surpass expectations with prices from $650,000. “Our goal was to make it affordable for families to move to South Surrey,” says Legendary Developments’ marketing director Rav Brar. “Quality finishes and luxurious touches showcase attention to detail whether you’re buying a townhome or a duplex at The Hamptons.” You won’t find upgrades here for the simple reason, Legendary wants homebuyers to walk through their showhomes and have the confidence that what they see is what they will get in their own home. Built-in wine racks, quartz countertops, maple shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, beautiful crown mouldings, engineered hardwood, electric and gas fi replaces, wooden closet organizers and modern light fi xtures are all included. Many large evergreen trees were retained throughout the eight-acre site, giving it an established feel. Today magnolia trees burst into bloom, alongside beautiful landscaping and designer street lamps sourced from California. There’s that sense you’re in a quiet village far from the city, while really it’s justa short stroll to The Shops at Morgan Crossing, restaurants at Grandview Corners, and the new aquatic centre opening this fall. 18 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

//INSIDE MORTGAGES

Rates 2015 vs 2014 It’s a Lender Spring Shootout! » by KRIS GRASTY

KRIS GRASTY

is a mortgage broker with Dominion Lending Centre’s Canadian Mortgage Experts and an active member of the MBABC. Kris maintains a strong focus on educating clients on all options. For more information visit his website at www.krisgrasty.ca or reach him at kris@cmexp.com.

WOW! The big banks have lowered their rates! Two major lenders announced last week that they have lowered their posted rates. While this is great news for shoppers out there and advertised just in time for the Spring Rush, the reality is that bank rates have finally come to a level that has been accessible by Mortgage Brokers for quite some time now. Over the last few weeks leading into the spring market, I have been asked numerous times how the mortgage rates today compare to last year. Let’s talk about averages year to year, as there are always time-limited specials, rate deals and promotions that are not globally available or applicable to all clients. Seeing as most people typically are only looking to compare five-year rates, the average expected rate will be used. In 2014, Fixed rates hovered in the 2.89 – 3.09 per cent range depending on the lender, most around 2.89 per cent while variable rates were around prime -0.45 to prime -0.50 per cent. Prime was at 3.00 per cent so the effective rates were 2.50 to 2.55 per cent on average. MARCH 2015; Fixed rates are in the 2.59 - 2.79 per cent at present, most seeing around 2.79 per cent. High Ratio (lower down payment) clients are getting better rates due to the mortgage being insured and less risk borne by the lender. Variable rate discounts are slightly better around prime -0.55 to prime -0.65 per cent. Prime today is lower due to the Bank of Canada’s January rate cut. Prime is now 2.85 per cent, so effective interest rates seen by most clients will be around the 2.20 per cent range.

22 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

RATES ARE IN SLIGHTLY BETTER SHAPE THIS YEAR DUE TO TWO DIFFERENT FACTORS; The Bank of Canada’s overnight lending rate cut of 0.25 per cent this past January affects variable rates, though this time the banks decided not to match the rate cut and only reduce prime by 0.15 per cent. The Five-Year bond yields have also come down quite a bit this year. Bond Yields are essentially the cost of funds that the banks are lending out for mortgages, and rates provided are generally 150 basis points higher to allow for profit and risk. Five-Year yields are 0.871 as of the time of this writing, in comparison to 1.748 the same day last year. This is the primary reason for the reductions seen in fixed rates. These key rate influencers do not always align like this, and we often see a greater average spread/difference between fixed/variable offerings. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE AVERAGE CLIENT?

$300,000 Mortgage | 25 year amortization FIXED 5 YEAR 2014 - 2.89% = $1402.86/month 2015 - 2.79% = $1387.61/month ($15.25 /month less) VARIABLE 5 YEAR 2014 - 2.50% (2.35% today) = $1321.60/month 2015 - 2.20% = $1299.50/month ($22.10/month less)

In closing, though rates are better this year, impact is minimal. Rates have come down, but the overall effect qualifying may be affording a mere $3,000 increased mortgage amount using the above example. Monthly savings on payments, sure, though it is doubtful that $15 – $20 a month constitutes a major difference. It must be said that it is NOT all about rate! There are many nuances to differing lender products, restrictions or higher penalties sometimes associated with the lowest rate products. Speak to a Mortgage Broker about your plans as we can advise you more thoroughly than your bank, while helping you shop around to find the most suitable product to meet your needs.

//MIND OVER MORTGAGE

To buy, or lease your new car? LEASING OR BUYING A VEHICLE IMPACTS YOUR DEBT RATIOS » by JORGE & ALISA ARAGON

JORGE & ALISA ARAGON

are Mortgage Experts with Dominion Lending Centres Mountain View. They are active members of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association. Jorge & Alisa focus on the overall needs and plans of their clients and then find the best mortgage to suit their needs. For more information visit YourMortgageSolutionsGroup.ca or contact them at aaragon@dominionlending.ca.

The question of whether it’s better to lease or buy a vehicle is a common dilemma. And do you buy or lease a new or used vehicle? The answer depends on the specifics of your situation. It’s important to realize that many consumers overburden themselves with car leases or loans they simply can’t afford. While most of us require a vehicle to get to and from many destinations, we don’t need a high-end vehicle to serve this purpose. The key to remember when you are looking to purchase a home and obtain a mortgage or refinance an existing mortgage is that, if you overspend on a vehicle, it affects your debt ratios and may restrict or negate your mortgage financing ability. When making a lease-or-buy decision, you must, look at your financial abilities in terms of your debt ratios. And if you are unsure about how leasing or purchasing a vehicle will affect your ratios, it’s best to talk to a Mortgage Expert prior to making your decision.

When you buy, you pay for the entire cost of a vehicle. You typically make a down payment, pay sales taxes and pay an interest rate determined by your loan company based on your credit history. Later, you may decide to sell or trade the vehicle for its depreciated resale value. When you lease, you pay for only a portion of a vehicle’s cost, which is the part that you “use up” during the time you’re driving it. You have the option of not making a down payment, you pay sales tax only on your monthly payments, and you pay a financial rate, called a money factor. You may also be required to pay fees and a security deposit. At lease-end, you may either return the vehicle or purchase it for its depreciated resale value. As an example, if you lease a $20,000 car that will have, say, an estimated resale value of $13,000 after 24 months, you pay for the $7,000 difference (called depreciation), plus finance charges and possible fees. When you buy, you pay the entire $20,000, plus finance charges and possible fees. This is fundamentally why leasing offers significantly lower monthly payments than buying. Lease payments are made up of two parts – a depreciation charge and a finance charge. The depreciation part of each monthly payment compensates the leasing company for the portion of the vehicle’s value that is lost during your lease. The finance part is interest on the money the lease company has tied up in the car while you are driving it. Loan payments also have two parts – a principal charge and a finance charge. The principal pays off the full vehicle purchase price, while the finance charge is loan interest. Since all vehicles depreciate in value by the same amount regardless of whether they are leased or purchased, however, part of the principal charge of each loan payment can be considered as a depreciation charge. The remainder of each loan principal payment goes toward equity – or resale value – which is what remains of your car’s original value at the end of the loan after depreciation has taken its toll. The longer you own and drive a vehicle, the less equity you have. With leasing, you may have the option of putting your monthly payment savings into more productive investments, such as your mortgage, an investment property or a vacation home, which will increase in value.

Wynnridge CRAFTSMAN-INSPIRED HOMES WITH DOWN-TO-EARTH PRICING » by JANINE MACKIE To find a community where single-family homes are still affordable, you have the option of a lot backing onto a protected greenbelt, and nearby merchants sell freshly caught fish and locally grown produce, is like finding a little piece of heaven on earth. No wonder Wynnridge by Falcon Homes, a family-oriented neighbourhood in the Albion area of Maple Ridge is capturing the hearts of couples and families all the way from West Vancouver to just down the street. “The response has been nothing short of phenomenal,” describes Wynnridge’s sales manager Judy Duncan between writing up sales. What’s to love at Wynnridge? Well for starters homes are priced from $599,900, there’s no strata fees, the country setting near Kanaka Creek Regional Park is idyllic and floor plans include both traditional rancher homes with master-on-the-main as well as three- and four-bedroom family homes. Like a breath of fresh air, the real selling feature is the power of choice, says Judy. “People tell us what they want in a home and we create that!” FALCON HOMES SETS HIGH STANDARD FOR CUSTOM HOMEBUILDING IN MAPLE RIDGE

It’s all about customization here; whether structurally to enlarge a bedroom, add a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, include a separate spice kitchen or personalize colour schemes, hardwood and light fixtures. Adding an outdoor living room has proven to be the most popular option: fully covered deck and outdoor fireplace with ample room for barbecue and all-season furniture. “We believe that innovative design and quality craftsmanship are more than promises, they are the foundation of our business,” says Fred Formosa, owner of Falcon Homes, who personally works with each buyer, often 30 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

tweaking blueprints and customizing floor plans. “Our wish is that you can be proud to call it your home.” A welcoming streetscape is taking shape here with Craftsman homes finished with natural cedar and stone accents, and welcoming front porches. Three showhomes are open daily and showcase spacious kitchens featuring massive islands, walk-in pantries and premium appliances. Check out the newest plan -- the Alouette, a four-bedroom home with open main floor stretching right out to the backyard - ideal for families with young children. Wynnridge is open every day noon to 5 pm at 11007 Harris Dr., with access via 240 St. and Kanaka Creek Road in Maple Ridge. Learn more at wynnridge.ca or call 604.812.1460.

Cliffstone Rowhomes EFFORTLESS LIVING » by SUSAN M BOYCE As always, the first thing I notice when I drive through the Kanaka Creek neighbourhood is just how fresh the air is here. The second is how this community has become a dynamic, welcoming place where neighbours know each other and lifelong friendships are formed as families put down roots. AMAZING VALUE

Even better, today I’m getting a tour of an exciting new homeownership option — freehold rowhomes. “Cliffstone offers the only non-strata rowhomes in Maple Ridge,” says Diane Zarola, Foxridge’s sales and marketing manager. “These homes already offer a price advantage over comparably-sized single-family houses, but when you add in the fact you’re saving $150 to $200 monthly maintenance fees, it makes a huge difference to the amount of home you can get.” “Initially, my husband and I were looking at townhomes in Burquitlam,” says one buyer. “But when we realized that for $200,000 less we could actually get a bigger home here, it was a no 34 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

brainer. The value you get in Maple Ridge and especially at the Cliffstone Rowhomes is incredible.” WELCOME HOME

And what homes they are. Fenced front yards are already filled with colourful plants, and Diane points out the Clematis plants that will soon wrap the pergolas above each entry gate in a fragrant, purple cloud of blossom. We step through the front door of the showhome and I experience a definite OWM — “oh wow moment.” To my right is a comfy looking flex-room that’s been decked out as a his’n’hers office but could just as easily be a library, studio or music room. Still, I’m

immediately drawn toward the sunny kitchen/great room I see just ahead. In a word, it’s awesome. I feel myself relax as if I’ve just left the rest of the world behind — although I confess that after work I’d have a hard time deciding whether to cozy down with my book and a glass of wine in front of the fireplace or on the extra-wide window box seat. The dining table is set for six, but there’s so much space, I’d have no hesitation inviting 10 or even 12 people for a full, sit-down dinner — especially when I take a closer look at the kitchen. Now while I’m a very social person and love chatting with my guests, selfishly I prefer to keep my cooking area to myself. This intelligently designed beauty lets me do exactly that. I open the door to what I assume is a pantry and discover a convenient backdoor closet — smart. “It’s over there,” Diane says as if reading my mind. Sure enough, tucked neatly below the stairs — space that’s typically wasted — is a huge pantry with shelving. Upstairs, I find four bedrooms including a master with an ensuite that truly deserves the descriptor “spa-like.” Hint: massive soaker tub, spacious glass shower, elegant tiling, and plenty of natural light. And just like at the Cliffstone single-family homes just around the corner, buyers at the Cliffstone Rowhomes will have full access to Foxridge’s famous Design Centre where they can choose from a dazzling selection of finishes and fittings to truly personalize their home. Now just to be clear, if you’re thinking it’s a choice between three colour schemes, think again. During my last visit here, I estimated there were over three dozen possibilities for the porcelain tile, at least half a dozen different fireplace surrounds, five mirror frames, and 10 counter materials including quartz and granite. The stack of flooring options was so tall I couldn’t begin to guess how many, but I did notice one of my personal favourites — a high-end laminate that not only looks just like a hand-scraped exotic hardwood, it feels like it too.

Before I regretfully take my leave, Diane and I pause for a moment to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine on the back patio. The size of the backyard is perfect — lawn for lounging in a chaise longue, space for a casual dining table for four, plus an inviting outdoor sofa and coffee table grouping. “In this showhome we also extended the patio with paving stones and put in an outdoor fire pit just to show people some fun ideas they could add when they move in,” Diane says. DON’T MISS OUT

Only 26 ownership opportunities exist at the Cliffstone Rowhomes so why not check them out for yourself. Three- and four-bedroom designs available. Showhome open noon to 5:00 daily at 23915 – 111A Avenue in Maple Ridge. For more information visit foxridgehomes.ca or call 604.380.0045. MAY 1 - 15, 2015 | METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE 35

Think luxury when it comes to Highland Park Metrotown’s master suites — massive amounts of natural light, an extra wide window ledge for flowers or ornaments, double walk-through closets and spa-like ensuites with ultra-cool his’n’hers sinks innovatively formed in a single unit. CLOSE TO WHAT COUNTS

Highland Park Metrotown

REDEFINING A NEIGHBOURHOOD » by SUSAN M BOYCE It’s official, homebuyers have fallen in love with Highland Park Metrotown. And no wonder. The architecture is boldly distinctive, at once rich and inviting yet with a dramatic sense of arrival. Since my first visit, the already extensive landscaping has matured into a lush oasis that reminds me of an English country garden. The overall effect has a natural beauty I associate more with traditional, tree-lined neighbourhoods like Shaughnessy or Point Grey. “We sold 21 homes on opening weekend alone when we released our second phase,” says Twylia Kuss, vice president of Bogner Development Group. “This is the only townhome development in the Metrotown area that offers ground-oriented homes. Some also have side-byside double garages which have been a huge hit with buyers and a big part of our success. And now all our phase one purchasers have moved in, there’s a very lively, uplifting ambiance evolving.” INTERIOR ELEGANCE

Inside, these homes have space — lots of space. Kitchens are extra large and have an easygoing sense of flow — big counters or islands, tons of natural light plus a comfy eating bar for casual meals or a get-me-on-the-go-fast breakfast. Mind you, when it’s time for entertaining, the adjacent dining room could easily handle a family gathering of 10 — even though the showhome’s table is set for only six. 38 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | MAY 1 - 15, 2015

When it comes to convenience, Highland Park Metrotown has you covered too. Just a short walk and you could be browsing the shopping mecca of Metropolis at Metrotown — over 400 stores just waiting exploration — or exploring the greenery of Central Park or Byrne Creek Ravine Park. Access, too, is easy… no matter where you want to go or how you like to get there. Kingsway is a reliable driving route to downtown Vancouver or just hop on SkyTrain — after all, there are two stations less than a 10-minute walk away. Prefer two wheels to four? Check out the Highland Park Line trail that runs alongside the SkyTrain all the way to town — after all, choice is good. The Highland Park Metrotown presentation centre and two show homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 6088 Beresford Street in Burnaby. Three- and four-bedroom townhomes priced from the low $600,000s. Be sure to ask about how you can save $10,000 on the home of your choice with Highland Park Metrotown’s special promotion.

Real Estate Scores Canadians like to invest in two things: real estate and hockey. With the NHL playoffs kicking off across North America, it would come as no surprise that Canada’s most expensive real estate cities are also home to some of the highest ranking NHL teams. Check out the prices of homes in Canada’s 7 NHL cities - they rank as the most expensive according to the Canadian Real Estate in 2014. 1 VANCOUVER: With an average sale price of just over $800,000, Vancouver tops the list as the most expensive NHL city in Canada, and with zero Stanley Cup wins under their belts, it would seem Vancouverites prefer to invest in real estate than hockey players. 2 TORONTO: This metropolitan city peaks at around $550,000 per house. This hockey-loving city has 16 Stanley Cup wins, but nothing since 1967 when the average house price was only $24,000! It seems Torontonians will see many more rising house costs before another cup win. 3 CALGARY: Coming in $460,000 per

a place for hockey champs. Although they’ve won 5 championships, the city has been ousted from this year’s playoffs. 5 OTTAWA: Averaging at $358,000, Ottawa may be below the

national average for the price of homes, but they’ve made it to the playoffs this year, beating out Toronto, which is all the capital city’s citizens really care about, since they don’t have to worry about record-setting home values pricing them out of the market!

home, Calgary has only seen one Stanley Cup win. They’ll face off against their rival, Vancouver, in the first round of the playoffs. Canadians will be eagerly watching to see if Canada’s most expensive city will obliterate the oil tycoons.

6 MONTREAL: With 18 cup wins, this city has a decent housing price of $320,000. Les Habitants may have a thing or two to teach the ever-warming west coast about something we east coasters like to call, skating.

4 EDMONTON: Coming in just below the national average, Edmonton’s average sale price is $360,000. The city may be a cheaper place to buy real estate, but it certainly isn’t

7 WINNIPEG: Finishing off the list with an average price of $278,000, Winnipeg is the cheapest NHL city to buy a home, but with no Stanley Cup wins, it’s unclear what this city is investing their money in, since it’s clearly not real estate or hockey.
