neighbourhood where you’re just minutes from a diverse array of urban amenities, yet you’re surrounded by lush, green forest? A community of elegant townhomes with plenty of space for your family, at a price you can afford? Well say hello to Maplewood Place in North Vancouver — a collection of 61 townhomes that’s amazing savvy homebuyers with its North Shore style, versatile floorplans, and one-of-akind location adjacent to the famous Maplewood Farm.

Love the Location “This is such a cool part of North Vancouver — a true hidden gem that 16 YPNEXTHOME.CA
once you discover, you want to hang onto,” says Peter Edmonds, director of marketing with Anthem Properties, adding that new townhomes are virtually impossible to find here. Best of all, it’s a neighbourhood that’s connected to — well, everything. “Families love how close Maplewood Place is to everything — great schools, rec centres, restaurants.” He points to the west. “About a three-minute walk over there is a wonderful neighbourhood shopping centre with coffee shops, a liquor store, restaurants, and soon Metro Vancouver’s second Stong’s Market — anyone who’s been to their Westside Vancouver store knows what an amazing grocery Stong’s is. You’re half a block to a park along the Seymour River, you can be on the Second Narrows Bridge in about five minutes, and if you’re craving one of the best avocado on toast sandwiches going, just head over to Café Orso in Deep Cove.”
Celebrate Your Good Taste With five distinct floorplans available, Maplewood Place really does have something for every lifestyle. First there’s a single-level, two-bedroom with open great rooms and two patios — one front, one back. Or check out the traditional two-level, stacked plans featuring two bedrooms upstairs and comfortable main-floor living below. Maplewood Place even offers one bedroom homes — particularly appealing to first time buyers and young singles. Then there’s the E Plan, a design Peter says is one of Maplewood Place’s most unique. At a single glance it’s easy to understand why. This threelevel beauty redefines the kitchen as “heart of the home” — a centrally located culinary hub featuring composite quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and enough storage to satisfy even the most demanding chef. The display home also showcases white Shaker cabinetry with black matte pulls, one of the two colour schemes available and an eyecatching detail unlike anything I’ve seen before. The second floor is where you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms for the kids, the main bathroom, genuine laundry room with side-byside washer/dryer, and… a door at the bottom of a second fight of stairs. “We really did save the best for last,” Peter says with enthusiasm. Arriving on the top floor is definitely one of those “aha” moments. More than a master suite, this room spans the entire floor and is a true retreat designed exclusively for mum and dad. Want a few hints?
This is such a cool part of North Vancouver — a true hidden gem that once you discover, you want to hang onto. —Peter Edmonds Okay, try these: massive walk-in closet, ensuite with spacious shower and double vanity, room for a king-sized bed as well as extra large night tables, and my favourite, a flex-space with door. Sure that extra room would be great for a home office as it’s shown, but my mind’s already wandering in different directions — library, a place to put the stationary bike or treadmill, even a hobby room for those with more crafting skills than I possess. After all, choice is always good. Value You Can Count On “Maplewood Place offers terrific affordability and long term investment potential,” Peter says. “It’s an emerging neighbourhood, you’re buying new so you have the peace of mind that comes from having a new home warrantee, and you’re getting all the design and style you’d expect from a single-family home.” Sounds like win-win all around.

PICTURE THIS. A spacious townhome facing onto
protected greenbelt and located only minutes from the ever-expanding amenities of Surrey’s new downtown. Now say hello to Aria, a boutique collection of just 50 homes that’s well under construction on 64th Avenue at 143rd Street in Surrey. According to sales manager Sheela Patel, response has been resoundingly successful. “We were over 50 per cent sold within five weeks of opening. And since many of these homes will be ready for occupancy in the next three months, you can be moved in and settled in time for the holiday season.”
Many of these homes will be ready for occupancy in the next three months. — Sheela Patel
What Families Want “One of the first things people fall in love with is the kitchen,” Sheela says as we step into the first display home. Her gesture takes in the curved-glass hood fan, wine fridge and microwave built into the centre island, and my favourite, a large window above the sink — definitely this is a space designed for family living. In the adjoining living room, I discover a lineal fireplace that I’m guessing must be more than four feet wide and framed with an elegant, textured surround. Above, a recessed TV niche could also be a gallerystyle showcase for a treasured painting or sculpture. Laundry is intelligently located on the third level by the bedrooms — no running up and down stairs every time you need to switch clothes from washer to dryer. Stepping into the master suite reveals yet another smart design feature — a walk-through closet with mirrored doors, meaning you’ve always got one last chance to check your ‘look’ is perfect. As I venture further, I find a spacious room with vaulted ceiling and one of my favourite features — a window-box seat. There’s even the convenience of double sinks in the ensuite — meaning plenty of room for both of you.
The Aria presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 14285 – 64th Avenue in Surrey. Three- and four-bedroom homes priced from $358,800. For more information, visit arialiving.ca or call 778.885.6700. SEPT 18 - OCT 2, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE 35

Advice | BUYER PROFILE
A Family Celebration Steve and his family discover Heritage By Susan M Boyce Steve (centre) with his two sons Brodie (left) and Tyler (right) take in the Fraser River view from their existing acreage property.
ONE THING TO KNOW about Steve: when he commits to a project, he’s meticulous about research. So when Steve decided to downsize from a large family house on Langley acreage, he took his time examining options — lots of time and lots of options. The original plan had been to purchase a smaller acreage that would still accommodate two custom homes — one for himself and his two adult sons, a second for his daughter, sonin-law, and their two children. But as he started considering the logistics, the maintenance-free lifestyle of a townhome began to make sense. “I spent months scouring every new development from White Rock to Maple Ridge and as far as Mission –but nothing worked,” he says with a good-natured shrug. Then one day, a friend mentioned Heritage by Infinity Properties. Steve 40 YPNEXTHOME.CA
checked the developer’s website and his search suddenly took a different direction. “I liked the Arts and Craft architecture, and having three bedrooms with a master on the main was perfect for our family structure.” He smiles. “Let’s face it, guys like their own space. Here, one son will be able to have his man cave on the lower level, the other can be upstairs, and I’ll still have the whole main level.” The open, contemporary floorplans were winners too. “I’ve never liked townhouses where you walk in, go up a long set of stairs, and arrive on an upper floor that looks like a bowling alley — which is what my daughter and son-inlaw are living in right now. Heritage is completely different — open and feels more like the house we’re used to. This will be a good transition for us. And at the price point, it’s the best deal I found anywhere. You could say all roads just
kept leading me back to Heritage.” Cinching the deal was Heritage’s location in the historic Murrayville neighbourhood. “This is quieter and more family-oriented community than Yorkson, where I’d also looked, so it’s really like having the best of all worlds.” And there’s a unique, very cool epilogue to his story. When Steve brought his daughter and her husband to see the presentation centre, they were so delighted they decided to purchase a new home there as well. “So we’re going to see our family vision come together in the end,” he says. “Just in a slightly different format than we originally thought.” Heritage is located at 22084 Fraser Highway in Langley.

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING
Location, information and timing The new adage for real estate in 2015 By Wayne Karl
DESPITE WHAT YOU often hear, buying a home isn’t only about location, location, location. True, this is the time-tested first rule of real estate, but there are other determining factors you must consider as part of your selection process. Indeed, it’s 2015 and there’s a new rule of thumb for buying real estate. Location First, what does that old adage really mean? Of course, we’d all love a high-end home in the best neighbourhood. But that’s not possible. What to do, then? For your own enjoyment while you live in your home as well as for future resale potential, proximity to transportation, shopping, schools and other amenities is among the key determinants that affect your property’s appeal and ultimately its value. After all, those are the qualities potential buyers look for when searching for a home; the more of them your home has when you go to sell, the more
desirable it will be to a greater number of people. This equates to demand – multiple offers and a higher price. Information Whether you’re a first-time homeowner, “buying up” to accommodate a growing family or “right-sizing” as an empty nester, education is critical. And these days, with digital media and mobile technology, all the information you need is at your fingertips. From the content in this magazine or at ypnexthome. ca, to the resources available to you at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC), to the local market expertise of your Realtor, the more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions about buying, maintaining or selling your home. Timing Though your home is your primary residence, it is also an investment. Where you buy is usually determined largely by where you want to live, work and play. But when you buy
and when you sell, is also important. Like any financial instrument, real estate can fluctuate in value and your timing can determine how good of an investment it is. There’s no shortage of media reports on the ups, downs, crashes and surges of the housing market. But if you’ve done your research, you won’t be spooked – or excited – by big-picture reports on short-term market performance. You know that real estate is not national or even regional – it’s immensely specific. You don’t buy the Canadian market and you don’t buy a provincial or even regional market. You buy a specific home, on a specific street in a specific neighbourhood. So, it’s not just about “location, location, location.” The new adage is “location, information and timing.” Do well with all three, and over the long haul your home is going to be one of the best lifestyle and investment decisions you ever made.

Advice | INSIDE MORTGAGES
Depreciation Reports Important ways they may affect your property value or mortgage approval By Kris Grasty
THOUGH ONTARIO passed this legislation over 10 years ago, the deadline for Depreciation Report compliance for B.C. was December 13th, 2013. These reports determine if reserve funds are established and allocated properly, reducing the risk to lenders by making strata homeowners less likely to face large special assessments. Depreciation Reports are not meant to force people to pay higher strata fees, although they can illuminate the need for higher contingency funds. After initial preparation, the reports must be reviewed every three years. The cost to prepare the initial reports may be several thousand dollars, but follow-up reports may cost less, as much of the input may just be revisions of existing data. Now the part that everyone seems to be going crazy about – increasing condo fees! Legislation does not force strata corporations to increase condo fees or even follow the financial recommendations. For far too long though, these fees have started artificially low to get folks in the door and to keep current owners complacent, only to have many cry foul when they have to pay cooperatively towards an “unexpected” roofing project on a 35-year-old property. Inevitably, some condo fees should go up after a report is completed.
Do your due diligence; the banks will! The ongoing proof of a property’s current state of repair will place proactive strata corporations who
Basic functions of a properly prepared Depreciation Report
1. Document an inventory of the common property, and common assets, as well as other strata property to be maintained. 2. Provide for an on-site inspection of the properties and assets to determine the overall condition or current state of repair. 3. Establish the remaining useful life of the inventoried properties and assets. 4. Estimate a projected maintenance, repair and replacement cost over a 30-year period.

raise funds appropriately and focus on maintenance in a favourable light versus those who focus on a more costly repair-and-replace approach. As a current condo or townhome owner, a Depreciation Report gives you valuable insight into the financial health of your strata, as well as the scope and cost of future repairs. Conversely, Depreciation Reports grant the home purchaser more transparency and help anticipate the costs of upcoming maintenance. Depreciation Reports also protect lenders. As more and more properties use them, lenders will also rely on them
5. Prepare a forecast for how the strata corporation plans to raise the capital to fund the outlined anticipated cost of repairs and maintenance.
to determine their risk of lending on a mismanaged property. Lending rules for qualifying for a mortgage have changed over the last few years: now, lenders may either refuse to lend on a property if there is no report provided or if recommendations have not been implemented; or they may lend less money, contingent on a potential future levy or assessment. Finally, although Depreciation Reports may add a little cost and effort up front, they protect investors from future contingency shortfalls and so protect the value of their investment for the long term.

BOUTIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL, excavation is now underway at Ivory Mews. Brought to you by Otivo Development Group, this intimate collection of just 27 townhomes offers the charm of heritage architectural design and the urban savvy of contemporary interiors. In short, it’s like having the best of all worlds, and is an exciting addition to the Edmonds area.
Location, Location, Location It’s an old adage, but it’s true. When it comes to real estate, location is king — and Ivory Mews has what it takes to wow. “This is such an up and coming neighbourhood,” says Donato DeCotiis, president. “It’s a very quiet, residential street but it’s so close to shopping, schools, parks and transit — great for families in other words.” He’s not exaggerating either. The shops of Highgate Village are barely a couple of blocks, the SkyTrain station is an easy stroll, plus there are parks, schools, a library and the popular Edmonds Community Centre awaiting exploration just minutes away.
It’s a very quiet, residential street but it’s so close to shopping, schools, parks and transit. — Donato DeCotiis 48 YPNEXTHOME.CA
Westside Style As a Burnaby resident for over 40 years, Donato says he wanted to create homes that stand out in the neighbourhood. Clearly, he’s succeeded. “People constantly tell us Ivory Mews has all the charm and character they associate with Westside Vancouver,” he notes. Even better, because Ivory Mews is located on a quiet, tree-lined street, there’s a great sense of community — people actually know their neighbours and kids are often found playing games or riding their bikes. It’s a neighbourhood where lifelong friendships are born. Ivory Mews will be located on 18th Avenue in Burnaby and will be comprised of 27 homes ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom townhomes and single-level flats. So there’s a size to meet every lifestyle from first time buyer to growing families to active downsizers. The Ivory Mews presentation centre is open noon to 5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday (closed Thursday/Friday) at 7385 Edmonds Street in Burnaby. Priced from $299,900.

LAYERS By Yanic Simard | Photos courtesy of CB2
1. Layering fabrics isn’t just for furniture. Rugs can look amazing layered too. I love adding a cowhide rug to tie together unusual furniture arrangements or punctuate the centre of a space. A sheepskin-style rug also makes a stylish accent to areas such as the edge of the bed, under a footstool, or even draped over a chair or bar stool for a softer seat. TIP: Layer rugs like crazy to get a patchwork quilt look that adds huge drama – mix five to seven smaller rugs in 54 YPNEXTHOME.CA
one room (check out the CB2 photo on this page for inspiration). Alternately, you can use carpet tiles to fake a large rug under your existing one, and fill in the edges of a room. 2. Copper, gold and brass bring a classic yet trendy style and warm undertones without feeling like an overly strong colour. If you’re timid (or already invested in silver), start small by layering these metals in with accents such as frames, tableware and lamps. The mix of
silver and gold hues creates a subtle Art Deco-inspired vibe, so there’s no reason not to sprinkle one in, while letting the other dominate. TIP: Bronze tealight votives reflect an extra-warm glow. Line up three, five or seven (odd numbers work best) on a silvery tray or cart for a contrast statement and sparkling mood-lighting.

‹ 4‹ 3. Pillows are one of my favourite ways to add style – they can move from living room to bedroom and beyond, and dress a room up, or down. Rather than picking dramatic new colours, grab some neutral but bold patterns that can layer behind your existing favourites for a more filled-in feel. TIP: For my YSS collection, I wanted a dash of liveable safari style, so I tamed a tiger print pillow in a warm tan and winter-white. An animal print like this adds unexpected drama standing alone on your dining chairs, or slinking between the sofa cushions. Safari

4. Lush textures are great for adding warmth to the eye and the hand. A sumptuous blanket, folded neatly at the end of a bed or tossed casually on a sofa, adds some interchangeable luxury and can move between rooms for new looks.
5. Don’t forget the vertical surfaces! An extra layer of drapery helps avoid heat loss through windows, so consider mixing a sheer layer with a heavy blackout-lined layer – you can keep your existing curtains and add a double rod.
TIP: Spread a blanket across the cushions of a sofa and tuck it in at the edges, for a noncommittal contrastupholstery look. Pictured centre: Chevron Jacquard Cotton Throw;
TIP: A lightly patterned inner sheer (try a tone-on-tone white) under a solid heavy drape, draws the eye’s attention to the layered effect by adding drama to the background instead of the foreground.

NDP leading in B.C., according to recent polls

It seems that the province may be turning its back on Stephen Harper’s federal Conservative party in favour of Mulcair’s NDP. A recent Insights West survey of over 800 British Columbians showed the NDP was far ahead of the Conservatives (an Angus Reid poll with about the same number of respondents also showed the NDP in the lead, though with a narrower margin). Conventionally, the province is divided between Conservatives and New Democrats. It’s likely that Harper’s Conservatives will be focusing some energy on turning this around over the next while in their campaign.
depending on economic conditions. The Conservatives’ pledge to make the home renovation tax credit a permanent fixture could either make the current hot housing market all the hotter…or have no impact whatsoever, according to experts. Many are critical of Harper’s announcement because they believe he is providing help to those who don’t need it: people who already own their own homes, rather than those who are struggling to enter the housing market.
Conservatives promise home renovation tax credit
Vancouver, Surrey sourcing independent transit funding
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has promised to introduce a new, permanent home renovation tax credit if he’s re-elected this October. The plan, which would cost the federal government about $1.5 billion a year, would likely be phased in over the course of the 2016-17 fiscal year,
With Metro Vancouver’s transit plebiscite well behind us, Vancouver’s mayors are still trying to decide who will be responsible for funding the $7.5-billion 10-year plan that they had in mind for the future of the region’s transportation. As it stands, there is no alternative method to fund the

proposed transit improvements, but some of Metro’s mayors are considering separate, independent transit funding for their cities. Although the outcome of the plebiscite dictates that the mayors should not introduce other funding sources prior to the next municipal election in 2018, operating costs at TransLink are on the rise. With labour agreements due for renewal in 2016 and upgrades to the 30-year-old Expo SkyTrain line and stations soon to be necessary, this problem will only be exacerbated. Green Acres? Developers sell farm livin’ Community gardens have become increasingly popular lately, and developers are paying attention to the trend. Developments such as Creekside Mills at Cultus Lake in Chilliwack, Southlands development in Delta and High Point Estates in Langley are making outdoor pursuits such as farming and horseback riding more accessible to the average homeowner. Likely, both Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor of TV’s Green Acres would be on board with this kind of farm livin’.
