Life events get you moving

Good versus bad debt

The decision to move is often

triggered by a life event, such as a new

job or a new addition to the family, or

simply because you want a change of

scenery.

Whatever the reason, it’s important

to address what your new needs are

before you start hunting for a new

place – rather than during. With all of

the information available to you these

days, it’s easy to get distracted.

To keep you on track and up to date

on the latest listings available across

Canada, check out this issue and our

website, YPNextHome.ca. Not only will

you fi nd an easy way to connect with

prospective properties, you’ll be able

to dig deep on details such as such as

costs, neighbourhood information and

much more.

Deciding to move is easy, it’s fi nding

the right place that can sometimes be

tough. Let us help.

Drop us a line and let us know if you

have any questions or comments.

We’d love hearing from you.

One thing I’ve learned since starting in

real estate publishing is the di� erence

between what fi nancial 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 o� 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 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.

FINAL

PHASE

Property Profile | SHANNON WALL CENTRE KERRISDALE

IT’S BEEN DESCRIBED MANY WAYS:

unique, exquisite, enchanting. But one

sentiment shines through: homebuyers

have fallen in love with Shannon Wall

Centre Kerrisdale.

Once the Wall family residence,

this 10-acre estate in Vancouver’s

prestigious Westside has undergone a

transformation — a re-imagining that

honours the property’s heritage while

bringing a fresh, engaging contemporary

aesthetic. And now is your last

opportunity to be part of this new history

in the making. Introducing Beverly

House and Wilshire House, the two final

midrise buildings at Shannon Wall Centre

Kerrisdale, and coming soon, the long-

awaited Peter Wall Mansion.

One of a Kind HomesSituated on the top, southwestern edge

of the estate at Adera Street and 57th

Avenue, Beverly House and Wilshire

House will offer all the exceptional

finishing details that have defined every

home at Shannon Wall Centre Kerrisdale.

Gourmet kitchens with magnificent

composite stone countertops, your

choice of lacquer or oak cabinetry,

and top-of-the-line appliances from

Gaggenau, Liebherr and Bosch are

meticulously designed to become the

social and entertaining heart of each

home. Ensuites are opulent with marble,

chrome fixtures, and an elegantly

tranquil minimalism. And there’s space

— lots of space for the things that

matter most in life like friends, family

and simply enjoying the delights of a

quiet evening at home.

One of a Kind LifestyleStill, for many of the homeowners

who already call Shannon Wall Centre

Kerrisdale home, it’s the resort-

cover story

Shannon Wall Centre KerrisdaleNew History in the Making

Year-round heated lap pool at the Peter Wall Mansion

20 YPNEXTHOME.CA

style amenities that truly differentiate this

community — amenities you simply won’t

find everyday.

Think far, far beyond a fitness centre and

extensive landscaping. Shannon Wall Centre

Kerrisdale recreates the symmetric grandeur

of a formal English garden with manicured

boxwood hedges and lawns. There’s a four-

season, outdoor lap pool, and garden plots for

growing fresh herbs and flowers. And oh by

the way, there is also a fully equipped, state-

of-the-art fitness facility — just in case you

had the slightest, lingering doubt.

Close to What CountsNeed a final enticement? Okay, let’s talk

convenience to… well to everything. For

families, some of the province’s top ranked

schools are just minutes away — York House,

St. George’s, the International Baccalaureate

Sir Winston Churchill Secondary and, of

course, UBC. Four golf courses are less than

three kilometres away, the cultural diversity of

Vancouver’s downtown entertainment district

is close at hand, and when you’re ready for a

quick getaway to sun or snow, YVR is a short

10-minute cab ride away.

You could say, Shannon Wall Centre

Kerrisdale is the best of all worlds. Or you

could just say it’s home.

The Shannon Wall Centre Kerrisdale’s

neighbourhood presentation centre is

open noon to 5 p.m. daily at 2126 West 41st

Avenue in the heart of Kerrisdale Village. Main

presentation centre reopens April 2nd. For

more information visit ShannonWallCentre.

VANCOUVER


VANCOUVER

Neighbourhood Profile | KERRISDALE

KERRISDALE MAY BE PART OF

VANCOUVER but it feels like a charming

village. Kerrisdale features a shopping

district running generally along West 41st

Avenue between Larch and Maple Streets

and West Boulevard between 37th and

47th Avenues. Although the city officially

defines Kerrisdale as being south of

41st, the majority of the area’s residents

consider Kerrisdale’s boundaries to be

West 33rd Ave to the north, the Railway

right of way to the east, West 57th Street

to the south, and Blenheim Street to

the west. Kerrisdale has a well-heeled

ambiance, but a great selection of

independent shops and a great selection

of places to buy cool clothes and meet

with friends for afternoon coffee.

The Vibe:

The village has an eclectic mix of small

businesses, independent retail and

casual restaurants. The pace of life here

is relaxed and congenial, and the streets

are lined with luxury sedans and SUVs as

opposed to motorcycles or minivans.

Meet the Neighbours:

Expect to see a lot of cashmere, plaid and

tweed on these people. Many residents

are older in terms of age and definitely

skew into affluent, conservative territory.

Kerrisdale’s population is about equal

parts Asian Canadians and Caucasian

Canadians with the Asian population

making up more of the younger

families and the grannies being mostly

Caucasians. While there are a good

number of families populating the two

high schools and various elementary

schools, there are a high proportion of

retirees compared to the rest of the city.

In the area:

There are many parks in the Kerrisdale

area, the closest being Kerrisdale

Centennial Park, site of the Kerrisdale

Community and Seniors Centre at 42nd

Avenue and West Boulevard. Elm Park at

West 41st and Larch Street (and home

to Kerrisdale Little League); and Maple

Grove Park at Marine Drive, Yew Street

and West 51st Avenue.

Recreational facilities in the

neighbourhood include the Kerrisdale

Skating Arena, Kerrisdale Community

Centre and indoor pool and the

Kerrisdale Lawn Bowling Club located

at Elm Park. Other community facilities

include the Kerrisdale Branch of the

Vancouver Public Library at West 42nd

Avenue and West Boulevard and the

West-Main Health Unit at West 43rd

Avenue and West Boulevard.

The two public high schools are

Magee Secondary and Point Grey

Secondary, and for private schools

there are Crofton House (girls) and St.

George’s and Vancouver College (boys).

Hot Spots

Hill’s – This excellent clothing store has a great selection of both high-end and more budget options as well as clothes for both the young and hip and older, more classic shopper. www.hillsofkerrisdale.com

The Secret Garden – This hidden gem is a fantastic place to take your mum out for high tea on her birthday. www.secretgardentea.com

Thomas Hobbes Florist – Thomas Hobbes is a Vancouver gardening icon and his store is full of treasures for the green-thumbed. www.thomashobbesflorist.com

Avenue Grill – The community stand-by with a sign from the “40s and an ever evolving menu. www.avenuegrillbc.comBenton Brothers Cheese shop – One of the best cheese shops in the city, and they don’t mind giving out samples. www.bentonscheese.com

Isola Bella Kids Clothes – Extremely pricey (home of the $100 onsie!), but these classically chic kids clothes are made to last generations. www.isolabellakids.com

» Average price on a 4 $ scale: $$$ = above average to $$$$ = luxury

» Types of properties: Retail space, detached homes, apartments. condos, townhouses

» Distance from City Hall: about 8 kilometres.

Quick Facts

Planes, Trains & Automobiles:

Very convienient to the airport and well

served by public transit, Kerrisdale is

about a 15 minute drive to downtown.

It is extremely walkable and is divided

by the unused CPR train tracks which

provide a walking path through

town. Busses run up Arbutus Street

(which turns into East Boulevard)

from downtown at close intervals and

across the city from Burnaby and East

Vancouver and through to UBC along

41st and 49th Avenues.

The Good, The Bad and The Rest:

» The good: This is a beautiful and very

friendly little village, very close to the

city centre but also close to UBC. The

streets are safe and green and everything

you need from London Drugs to sushi

is right at your doorstep. If you love

meeting your friends for tea, shopping

for houndstooth accessories and looking

at gardens, this is the place for you.

» The bad: It’s expensive, like much of

the West Side of the city, and if you’re

young and on the lookout for nightlife,

you are completely out of luck. Also

there is a lack of a good grocery store in

the village if you don’t have a car.

» If you enjoy peace and quiet you’ll

like it here. If you like to be in the middle

of the action you might want to look

elsewhere.

Dollars & Sense:

» Expensive. Kerrisdale is generally

upscale, but there are lots of sweet

older apartment buildings that are on

the reasonable side to rent. Some have

been turned into co-op buildings and

condos that are affordable to buy, but

many of these are getting bought out by

developers to build much bigger, more

expensive units in the near future.

The friendly community has a mix of elegant homes, nice, newer townhomes and many rental mid-rise apartment buildings built in the 60’s and 70s surrounded by lush gardens and pools. Tree-lined streets give the area an air of respectability and serenity. Recently, many condo buildings have started to replace some of the older apartment building from the 30s and 40s that line East and West Boulevards.

Rental Market: Kerrisdale has a large amount of rental apartment buildings, dating from the 1950s and 1960s offering large, luxurious suites. Many of the buildings have outdoor pools and extensive grounds. Rents are actually pretty

reasonable for the size of the suites, which were built for the luxury market many years ago. There are also smaller suites in older buildings along East and West Boulevards.

Lifestyle overview: Senior-Friendly and Genteel,Kerrisdale is a bustling village with lots of street activity, quite a few community street festivals and a lot of older folks. The tree-lined streets and wealth of independent shops and restaurants attract people from all over the city to shop and stroll. The pace of life here is relaxed and civilized and there are plenty of community resources for everyone from

kids to seniors. It’s not the most exciting neighbourhood in the city, but it sure is one of the most pleasant.

Et. Cetera: In 1905, British Columbia Electric Railway manager, R.H. Sterling asked Mrs. William McKinnon, a young Scottish woman who had recently settled in the area, to name the interurban stop at Wilson Road (today’s West 41st Avenue). She selected “Kerry’s Dale” after the name of her family home (Kerrydale) in Garlock, Scotland. Kerrydale means “little seat of the fairies”. It was soon changed to “Kerrisdale” as we know it today.

WHO’S READY FOR SOME MARCH

MADNESS, CANADIAN REAL ESTATE

EDITION?

It’s mid March, and spring begins

this weekend — signalling what is

traditionally the busy season in

real estate.

The madness in Canadian real estate hit a new peak this week when the

Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released its stats for February —

noting that the national average price exceeded $500,000 for the first time. In

February, the average price jumped 16.4 per cent year-over-year to $503,057.

So, in the spirit of the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament,

YPNextHome put together our own bracket of championship housing markets

across Canada.

30 YPNEXTHOME.CA

We paired the top proximate markets across the country, using official

CREA average price growth as the deciding factor. We chose a four-year

window, from 2012 to end of 2015, to provide longer-term, bigger picture

context of market performance.

It’s East versus West, as city market takes on city market to determine the

eventual Canadian slam-dunk champion.

Spoiler alert: it’s not Toronto or Vancouver.

WHY DID WE USE A FOUR-YEAR WINDOW?

Because we thought it would provide a more accurate picture of a real

estate market over the long term. There’s no secret, for example, that areas

such as Calgary and Edmonton are getting hammered due to the prolonged

slump in oil prices.

In Calgary, for example, home prices declined by 3.5 per cent in

February on a year-over-year basis. Ouch. But looking at it over the last

MARCHMADNESS


four years, the average price has actually risen 10

per cent. Not bad, eh?

REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL

Forget that CREA says the national average price

exceeded $500,000 — climbing to $503,057 – for

the fi rst time. Sure, it makes for interesting headlines

and provides some context on a national basis.

But as Toronto-based mortgage expert Calum

Ross says: “Saying there is a Canadian housing

market is no less ridiculous than saying there is

‘Canadian temperature.’”

Or that traffi c at one end of the country is the

same at the other.

“Canada represents one of single largest countries

in the world and going from coast to coast, Canada

is home to a very diverse group of people with local

economics that are vastly diff erent,” he says.

Real estate is local, not national. You don’t

buy the Canadian market, or even a provincial or

regional one. You buy one home in one location.

If you’re buying a home in Chilliwack, BC, where

the average price is $336,000, or Yarmouth, NS,

where the average price is $125,066 — what do you

care what the national average price is?

The fact is, the national average price is heavily

skewed by Vancouver and Toronto, as Canada’s

most active and expensive housing markets. If these

two are excluded from calculations, CREA says, the

average is a more modest $355,235, and the year-

over-year gain is just 8.7 per cent.

HOW DID WE SELECT WHICH MARKETS FACE

WHICH MARKETS?

How did we “seed” the markets, using March

Madness parlance? Initially, geography.

Since real estate is local, market performance is

most infl uenced by the economic fundamentals

on a provincial, regional and municipal basis.

For example, Guelph would naturally take on

Cambridge, since these two markets are barely 23

kilometres apart, and therefore are subject to similar

challenges and opportunities in that area.

While geography was the key determining factor

for which cities face off in the fi rst round, we had

to make a handful of exceptions. For example,

the 32 city markets in the fi rst round for eastern

Canada were all located in Ontario, with the

exception of one maritime city, Yarmouth, NS. To

SOURCE: CANADIAN REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION

help compensate for the large geographical distance, we paired

Yarmouth with one of the Ontario cities located farthest east. And

while this still doesn’t necessarily make them fair opponents, it

wouldn’t be March Madness without a little controversy.

As certain cities failed to make it past the fi rst round, proximity

became less prevalent, and opposing cities advanced to the next

round based on which market had a higher increase in home price

growth over the last four years.

AND FINALLY...

Apologies to Quebec. CREA doesn’t collect the same detailed

data on this market.

How to take advantage of lower mortgage rates

SPRING AND SUMMER are nearly here.

It’s often the time when more people are

shopping for a home and when banks

start to o� er more competitive mortgage

rates. But if you already own a home,

how can you take advantage of lower

rates?

You can break your mortgage and

refi nance it at a lower rate, but there are

pros and cons of doing this.

Advantages

There are a number of benefi ts of

refi nancing your mortgage, including:

» Lower payments/interest costs: A

lower interest rate on your mortgage

could mean your payments will be lower

and you’ll likely pay less in total interest

than if you were to keep your current

rate. Try ratehub.ca’s mortgage refi nance

calculator to estimate what your savings

could be.

» Pay o� your mortgage faster: If you’re

making more money than when you

bought your home, you may decide you

want to pay o� your mortgage at a faster

pace. You could do that by shortening

your amortization period.

» Access home equity: If you’re

considering purchasing an investment

property or renovating part of your

home, you can access the equity in your

home (that’s the value of your property

minus your mortgage balance) to help

pay for either.

» Consolidate debt: If you have any

other debt, such as a credit card balance,

a car loan, or a line of credit, you can

consolidate it into your mortgage. By

consolidating your debt, you’ll pay less

interest and you’ll probably have lower

monthly payments on top of a lower

interest rate. Still, you’ll have the same

level of debt.

Disadvantages

Before deciding whether or not to break

your mortgage, you should be aware

that while there’s a potential to save a lot

of money, there are also costs involved:

» Mortgage prepayment penalty: If you

have a variable-rate mortgage, you’ll only

have to pay three months’ interest. But

if you have a fi xed-rate mortgage, your

prepayment penalty is the greater of

three months’ interest or the interest rate

di� erential (IRD). To determine the IRD,

lenders look at the mortgage rate you

have currently, the number of months

left in your term, the rate they could

charge you for a new mortgage term

similar in length to the remainder of your

term. You can estimate the penalty you’d

have to pay using ratehub.ca’s mortgage

» Mortgage discharge fee: If you decide

to use a di� erent lender, you’ll have to

pay a fee to discharge your mortgage

from your current lender. Lenders

set their own fees, which can vary by

province. These fees are typically in the

$200 to $350 range.

» Mortgage registration fee: You have

to pay a mortgage registration fee

whether you’re staying with or leaving

your current lender. Your lender removes

the current mortgage amount from the

title on your home and re-registers it

with a new mortgage amount. This fee is

usually around $70.

» Legal fees: You’ll have to consult with

a real estate lawyer when refi nancing

your mortgage. He or she will check

your mortgage’s terms and conditions,

register your new mortgage, and do

a title search to ensure there aren’t

any liens against your home. Legal

fees for refi nancing your mortgage

can be in the $700 to $1,000 range.

But if your mortgage balance is more

than $200,000 and you want to switch

lenders, your new lender may pay

these fees.

While large lenders may soon start

o� ering lower rates and you could pay

less if you break your mortgage, it’s best

to do some research to fi nd out whether

or not you’ll benefi t.

Access to NatureThen there’s Tsawwassen Shores’ setting right

next to the Pacific Ocean. Hint: beachcombing

among the sun-bleached driftwood, fresh sea

breezes and magnificent sunsets.

“We love running and biking, so having the

Blue Heron Trail right there is going to be

fantastic,” says one couple who purchased in

an earlier phase. “A couple of nights ago we

walked for 45 minutes and still didn’t get to

the end of it.” Plus, a traditional boardwalk with

seating and lookout points is currently well

under construction and anticipated to open

this spring.

City Savvy“This is definitely a neighbourhood you can

grow into,” Deren says. “For families, there are

top ranked schools nearby. The Tsawwassen

Mills Shopping Centre jut across the street has

announced that Sak’s Off Fifth Avenue and Bass

Pro Shop will be two of the first anchor tenants,

and with easy access to downtown Vancouver,

the US border, Richmond and YVR, it’s easy to

get anywhere.”

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MAKE your home green.

While some require a little more money than others

(purchasing new Energy Star appliances or installing

solar panels, for example), you can still make a

di� erence at home with a few simple tricks.

1. Move your fridge into the shade: Leaving your

fridge in the sunlight forces it to work harder than it

has to and wastes energy.

2. Replace your incandescent light bulbs with LED

ones: LEDs are a great green option as they use less

electricity, produce less heat and last longer than

your average incandescent light bulbs.

3. Put up thick curtains in the winter: You’ll keep

warmer in the colder months (sadly we have many

of them) without having to crank the heat and you’ll

conserve energy in doing so.

4. Sign up for online statements: You’ll save

money (some fi nancial institutions charge for paper

statements), de-clutter your home and save trees in

the process.

5. Use vinegar to clean: Clean everything and

anything you can with vinegar; it’s the perfect all

natural multipurpose cleaner!

6. Install a water-saving shower head: Admittedly

the wrong low-fl ow shower head can make for a

bad shower but nowadays there are many water-

saving options that don’t compromise pressure.

7. Buy local produce — and walk to the market

to get it: The less your food had to travel to get to

you, the better — and who doesn’t love a good local

farmers’ market?

8. Open your blinds: Avoid turning on the lights

in your house and instead open your blinds to

allow the sunlight to naturally brighten and warm

your home.

Inspiration | DESIGN SECRETS

AS DAYS BECOME longer and the warmth

starts to thaw through the rain and cold,

trends in home design are starting to

emerge. Spring is a time of new hope,

growth and purpose, and that is also

evident in design. Right now, there are

brighter, more vibrant colours, daring art

and accessories and a shift in the “rules.”

Natural elements still play as large a role

as they did in the autumn and winter,

but this time they are less structured and

more abstract.

This spring brings a large shift from

the traditional in terms of room layout.

We are seeing a blur in the lines of each

specific room in new designs. This also

impacts the tasks associated with that

space that generally predict how we

design. For example, wine fridges are

popping up in other rooms besides

just the kitchen. New this season is a

sleeker built-in design in the bedroom

and dining room. Mini fridges have

undergone a makeover and their newer

elegant form can now be found in

bedrooms or family rooms to make

access to a drink and snack easier.

Built-in coffee makers are now seeking a

home in the master ensuite or bedroom.

Along with this movement, there is

a progression of mirrored cabinets and

vanities leaving the bathroom. They

have begun popping up throughout the

home as well. These are great because

in addition to hidden storage space,

they add outlets too. The installation

of in-wall mirrored cabinets is now in

walk-in closets and mudrooms. The

mirrored cabinet isn’t the only item

making its way out of the bathroom.

Cabinets, minus the sink, are now

Bright, modern colour punctuates this powder room designed by Jane Lockhart Interior Design.

affi xed to walls to act as dressing tables.

These are ideal for a walk-in or even a

hidden nook in the master.

From appliances to hardware and

colour, the arrival of spring leaves no

part of design untouched. Perhaps

the most exciting part of spring is

the emerging colours both outdoors

and in. Spring often leaves its mark

with bright and bold colours. North

Americans welcome the change

after a long winter with lots of white!

Currently, there is a nod back to the

1980s with this season’s new colours.

There will be a modern take on colours

like dusty rose and hunter green.

The natural infl uences are still strong

this season, but more raw and abstract

then we have seen in the past. Now

woods have unfi nished edges in both

dining and coff ee tables. The colours are

earthier, giving the impression of natural

surfaces. These are combined with very

modern lines and brighter colours to

create a beautiful juxtaposition when

mixed together.

The end of winter is often met with

excitement, colour and new styles in

interior design. This year is no diff erent.

Colour is a strong player with less

defi ned spaces and a nod to raw nature.

Remember, this does not mean to

reinvent your style, but introduce the

pieces you love and mix them with your

current style. The only thing that matters

is that you love your space!

Natural materials highlight this living room designed by Jane Lockhart Interior Design.

Advice | CONDO PRO

Resort-style amenities at home

By Barbara Lawlor


IT’S A WONDERFUL THING when

coming home feels like a vacation

every day. That’s the case with many

condominiums today, which o� er

amenities and services similar to a

resort. This lifestyle choice is becoming

increasingly popular with people

who value their leisure time. The

freedom from worrying about building

maintenance, repairs and upkeep is

fabulous, and is only the beginning

of the resort mood that a modern

condominium o� ers.

For me and so many others, the

ambience starts in the lobby, which

really does set the tone for the building.

Developers put a lot of thought into

lobby design to provide a setting that

is like a beautiful hotel, with gorgeous

décor and the convenience of being

able to access concierge service. In

addition to the built-in security this

service provides, the concierge presents

a professional fi rst impression to guests,

announces visitors and o� ers practical

services such as receiving packages

and deliveries for residents who are

away. Some condominium concierges

will even go as far as booking theatre

tickets, scheduling dog-walking and the

like. A few condominium residences are

actually situated on top of a fi ve-star

hotel, which is, of course, the ultimate

in luxury.

And speaking of luxury, modern

condominiums have fabulous amenities

like rooftop gardens and garden terraces

where residents can barbecue and relax

amid lush greenery. These areas also

provide striking views, and when the

condo is also near the lake, it’s all the

more like spending time at the cottage.

Water-lovers also appreciate the fact

that the swimming pools and whirlpools

in today’s condominiums are situated

where they can get a lot of natural

light for a truly inspiring experience all

year long. And when you can count on

someone else to keep the water clean

and the pools maintained, it’s the best of

both worlds.

Recreational amenities and anything

that benefi ts health-conscious residents

are in demand, and you will fi nd that the

fi tness facilities in condominiums are

always in use. Convenient and bright,

these fi tness areas are pleasant to work

out in, and having them in the building

saves on commercial club fees. Some

condos have spas close to pools, change

rooms and saunas so residents can

indulge in a total spa experience. A few

even have a dedicated room specifi cally

for massage therapy, where a therapist

can come in and set up a portable table

– yet another luxury condo owners can

enjoy without leaving home.

Cinema-style screening rooms set the

scene for getting together with friends

to watch a movie or sporting events

without the hassle of driving somewhere,

parking and trying to see over the people

in the seats in front of you. For gala

entertaining, the party room is a great

option that eliminates the need for you

to clean up a big mess the next morning.

The amenities in condominiums really do

expand your lifestyle potential far beyond

the square footage of the suite. And if

you are fortunate enough to live on top

of a fi ve-star hotel, you have the ultimate

in vacation-style living at your fi ngertips,

with access to things like housekeeping

services, valet parking and room service.

Fun, relaxing, invigorating, tranquil,

beautiful, bright – today’s condominium

amenities are more exciting and varied

than ever before. In so many ways, living

in a condo is like having a mini-resort or

getaway under your own roof. And when

you do choose to go away on vacation,

that holiday feeling begins the moment

you lock the door and leave, knowing your

home will be protected and looked after.

Property Profile | THE BURQUITLAM CAPITAL

IT’S A NEIGHBOURHOOD IN THE MIDST of an exciting transition: a dynamic neighbourhood

with visionary outlook and a deep-rooted pride in the diversity of its heritage. This is

Burquitlam, a place where the future is bright. It’s also where you’ll find The Burquitlam

Capital, a 23-storey residential tower with eye-catching architecture, a location that’s close

to everything, and some downright “oh wow” pricing.

Defining a Community“For many people, the cost of a home in Vancouver puts ownership out of reach,” says John

Gilmour, vice president of Magusta Development. “Here you can buy a brand new, two-

bedroom home for less than the cost of many older, resale one-bedrooms in Vancouver,

and you’re still only half an hour from downtown via the SkyTrain. Burquitlam is truly ‘that last

great place’ to buy, and The Burquitlam Capital is poised to take homeownership to a new

level as a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented urban hub.”

Part of the allure, he explains, is The Burquitlam Capital’s location within the

neighbourhood. “We’ll be on a high point right at the curve of the Evergreen Line and only

a three-minute walk to the new

Burquitlam SkyTrain Station. You’ll

be able to access all the new shops

and restaurants that are coming to

this neighbourhood as well as at

Lougheed Town Centre. Plus we’re

adding over 10,000 square feet of

brand new retail and restaurant

space at the base of the building.”

And while specifics are still a secret,

John’s excited to announce he

anticipates one of those eateries will

be “an extremely popular” restaurant

from Vancouver. So stay tuned for

more details.

Invest in Your Future“Whether you’re a first-time buyer,

an investor, or perhaps a parent who

wants to give your child a place to

live while they’re at university, this is

an incredible opportunity for people

with vision,” John says. “Burquitlam

has already changed dramatically

— in five or 10 years, it’s going to be

amazing.”

The Burquitlam Capital’s

presentation centre is anticipated to

open late April in Coquitlam. Prices

for these one- and two-bedroom

homes start at $197,900. For more

THAT LAST GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME

Now that Lougheed, Burnaby and Port Moody have been extensively developed and housing

prices seem beyond reach to many, there is still one great place to live: Burquitlam. Located just

on the border of Burnaby and Coquitlam, Burquitlam is the last community to be developed with

its own SkyTrain station. And at the heart of it all, less than a three-minute walk from the new

Burquitlam SkyTrain Station, is The Burquitlam Capital: that last great place to call home,

where everything you’ve been searching for is finally within reach.

WANT TO LIVE AT LUCKY NUMBER seven?

Would you ever live on the 13th floor?

How superstitious are you, and how

much would it affect your next home

purchase? You might not think that

finding the perfect home has much to do

with luck and superstition, but for some,

it’s on the list.

You have to do your research and

check out the tangible factors, but it just

so happens that the wrong number can

stigmatize a property and hurt the price

— or add value because of a luck factor.

Numerology plays highly in real estate

superstition, because it’s so integral

— street names, street numbers, floor

numbers, suite numbers and even sale

prices. Home pricing strategy, says

Realtor Yan Gurevich, is affected by

numerology and personal connections

to lucky or unlucky numbers, and

to personal and sometimes weird

preferences. He notes that you’ll see

numbers that add to a specific lucky

number, or the inclusion of repeated

numbers, like an 888 price point.

So what are the lucky — and not so

lucky — numbers?

4 UNLUCKY

Tetraphobia. In Chinese it sounds

like the word for death so 4, and any

number with a digit of 4 is to be avoided:

40, 444, 441. Numerous buildings

exclude the fourth floor. You may find

buildings like hotels, apartments and

even hospitals without a fourth floor

and even without a room number 4. In

fact, Vancouver has had an increasing

problem with developers wanting to

omit the fourth floor, 14th floor and any

other floor with the number 4 — even

excluding suites with the number 4.

According to Chief Building Officer Pat

Ryan, as reported in the Vancouver Sun

November 2015, it was becoming a

safety issue, and the city issued a bulletin

to developers that removing floors for

cultural or superstitious reasons would

have to stop, citing that, for example,

it could pose a danger to firefighters

in case of emergency, who would not

be able to rely on finding an actual

floor by numerical sequence if random

Need a little luck to find that perfect home?

numbers were arbitrarily missing in some

buildings.

7 LUCKY

Whether it’s the number of days it took

the divine to create the world or the

fact that 7 is a number that repeats itself

in too many obvious ways — 7 seas, 7

colours in the rainbow’s spectrum, 7

notes on the scale — it’s lucky and it’s

62 YPNEXTHOME.CA

worked out well for playoff games and

James Bond (007) too. My house address

is number 7, and without fail, everyone

that has ever visited has remarked that

my home is lucky. I can’t disagree — it’s

been good to me.

8 LUCKY

An auspicious number in Chinese

culture, 8 is considered to be the luckiest

number. Have you ever seen a property

listing price with the last three digits 888

— as in $400,888? Now you know why.

9 UNLUCKY

In Japanese, 9 sounds like the word for

torture or suffering and is to be avoided.

13 UNLUCKY

Triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the

number 13, has long been a superstition.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the fear of

Friday the 13th. Whether it stems from

The Last Supper in the Christian faith,

where Judas was the 13th apostle to sit

at the table, or from Viking lore, we’ll

never know — but it’s among the most

famous of superstitions, enough so that

a great number of buildings — rentals,

condos and office buildings — don’t offer

a 13th floor.

17 UNLUCKY

In Italy, 17 is not a welcome number.

The Roman numerals for 17 (XVII) are

an anagram for VIXI — a term implying

you’re dead, similar to the term RIP (Rest

In Peace). You don’t want your address

denoting you’re dead. Real estate, in turn,

rules out 17 — which is easier and less

intrusive than ruling out the number 4!

18 LUCKY

In Hebrew, the same digits are used for

letters and numbers, so every word can

be read as a number and every number

can be sounded out. The digits for 18 are

read as the word “life” which is invested

with a belief of luck, especially luck to

live a long life. To live at number 18 or on

the 18th floor would invest the residence

with luck for a long life.

666 EVIL

From the book of Revelations, John

The Apostle’s reference to ‘The number

of the beast’ (chapter 13) is associated

with Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

Though in Chinese culture, the

pronunciation of 666 sounds like “things

going smoothly” so the number is

favourable. I once had a colleague who

lived at 668. She joked that she was ”The

Neighbour of the Beast.” This one is

pretty universal.

There are other superstitions and signs

of luck in real estate, beyond buying a

home with a yard full of four-leaf clovers

on St. Patrick’s Day. The colour red is a

symbol of luck in Chinese culture and

occasionally comes up, from the paint

palette to the marketing material of new

developments.

Some agents and homeowners believe

that burying a little statue of St. Joseph

will help their home sell. There are a few

differing views about how the statue

should be buried, though all agree that

the statue should be wrapped to keep it

clean as a sign of respect. You can buy

a St. Joseph House Selling Statue

Kit online.

Feng Shui is also given some

consideration. If a property has bad

energy or no flow, it can be a deterrent

for a sale. Feng Shui can even relate

to a residence’s placement on a street

and how the energy will interact with

the flow in the neighbourhood. A home

at the T of an intersection can get too

much chi too fast, and that’s not good.

But for now, may luck be with you for

your real estate ventures.

Property Profile | HYDE CANYON

IT’S NO SECRET THAT I LOVE SURPRISES. So arriving

at Hyde Canyon instantly puts a smile on my

face. This collection of 64 estate homes is like an

unanticipated, hidden gem, a community that has it

all — amazing views, a naturally tranquil setting, and

homes that clearly fit the descriptor of “luxurious

elegance.”

“People are astonished when they arrive for

the first time, because they simply don’t expect

it to be so beautiful here,” says Clare Player, lead

sales representative. Her gesture takes in the lush

greenery of the adjacent ALR lands and the exquisite

landscaping that’s been added to complement each

home.

“There are over two kilometres of walking trails

within the property itself,” she adds. “So it’s great

for jogging, walking the dog, or an after dinner

stroll.” All this and you’re still less than 15 minutes

from the bustling retail and dining mecca

of downtown Langley or the boutiques and

galleries of Fort Langley.

Okay, time to take a closer look.

Luxury to SatisfyInside, Hyde Canyon homes are designed

to satisfy the most discerning homeowner.

These homes are spacious — really spacious.

Ranging from 3,800 to 5,000 square feet,

each of the four, fully furnished display

homes showcases a different style —

everything from classic French country villa

to über modern minimalist.

Well-appointed kitchens are designed to

become the true heart of each home — a

culinary and social hub featuring massive

centre islands, wall mount pot-fillers above a

gas range, and the convenience of double

wall ovens. The effect immediately has

me planning family celebrations and

cooking extravaganzas with my foodie

friends. Mind you, there’s also the outdoor

kitchen that Claire tells me has been a

popular upgrade with many early buyers.

Continuing our tour, I discover

living rooms with soaring, two-storey

vaults, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, and a

seamless connection to covered, year-

round entertainment patios. There are

welcoming foyers, main-floor powder

rooms, and ensuites that redefine luxury

with freestanding soaker tubs, frameless-

glass showers and over-sized tile flooring.

In short, these are homes with class and

character.

“Buyers are also delighted that having

so much space gives them plenty of

opportunity to personalize their home,”

Clare says. “Gyms, yoga studios, games

rooms, and home theatres are all

extremely popular.” Still, I have to confess

by favourite is the lower-level wine room

with floor-to-ceiling bottle display wall

found in the third showhome. I mean

seriously, how cool is that?

Family AttitudeFor active, growing families, Hyde Canyon

is a winning location too. Sports are

diverse and plentiful. Parks, including

the delights of Williams Park with its

forest and picnic areas, are found in

every direction. Schools at all levels

include Montessori, Fundamental and

private Christian schools, plus Kwantlen

Polytechnic University. And when you’re

ready to tee off, all you need do is pick

your favourite among the half dozen golf

courses within a short drive.

The Hyde Canyon presentation centre

and display homes are found at 24455

– 61st Avenue in Langley and are open

1-5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday.

Priced from $1.3 million. For more

Inspiration | DESIGNER ADVICE

By Yanic Simard

Fall in love with PINK

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT incorporating the colour pink into your interior, you probably

associate it with being juvenile or ultra feminine. This doesn’t have to be the case. Pink

actually is a very versatile colour that works well with almost any hue. It will add softness

and sophistication, depending on what you pair it with and how you use it. Following are

four schemes that will help inspire you to “think pink” in a sophisticated way.

How to incorporate pink into grown-up designs

68 YPNEXTHOME.CA

MORE INSPIRATION ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/inspiration

Stark white + deep pinkNothing is more clean, fresh and hotel-esque

than a room with white walls, white upholstery,

white drapery… and a touch of pink can add some

warmth to the scheme. Try using pink only in the

artwork, like we did with this beautiful bedroom

and stretched canvas art headboard. Accent it with

mirror, like these mirrored side tables.

Pink wallpaper, such as Trove’s Nekkar in Pink

(available at Industrial Storm in Toronto) will add

beauty and elegance to any room setting.

Hot pink + jet blackOne strong colour deserves another. You don’t want

the room to look unbalanced, so to counteract the

boldness of a hot pink, introduce another powerful

colour such as black, which will even everything out.

Keep in mind that the pink doesn’t always need to

be in the paint. The black can also be in the upholstery,

such as black leather club chairs. The fi nish that would

work well here would be a rich looking type of natural

wood, such as zebra wood.

Medium pink + light greenWould you ever upholster your dining chairs in solid

pink fabric? Well, I would! Lavish looking crushed

velvet paired with a neutral wall treatment such as

grasscloth with a subtle hint of green in it looks really

striking. A touch of gold will take the look up to the

next level — such as with Tom Dixon’s gold Etch

Pendant Lights.

Soft pink + dark blueHave you thought about using pink on the ceiling?

Deep, dark blue painted walls, like Benjamin Moore’s

CC-964 Blue Grotto, paired with 2085-60 Pink

Petals as an accent colour for the ceiling looks really

classy. This combination works particularly well for a

bathroom. Refl ective surfaces can help make a space

more mature looking. Introduce a copper element into

the mix.

Natural ways to incorporate pink:

» Pebble stone tile with chalky pink variation

» Maple or bamboo fl ooring with subtle pink graining

» Granite stone countertops with rose pink veins

Colours that clash:

» Mint green

» Orange

» Purple

Advice | CONDO SENSE

By Cameron McNeill


VANCOUVER REAL ESTATE is hotter than

ever and, with limited inventory and

home demand near record heights,

bidding wars and homes selling over

the asking price are taking place on a

signifi cant number of homes for sale.

“In the past six months, on average

we’ve been seeing three to fi ve o� ers all

the way up to 20 o� ers on every desirable

home on the market. In these situations,

it is not uncommon to see homes sell for

fi ve to ten per cent over asking” says Pete

Shpak, TAC Real Estate Agent.

For those serious about winning a

bidding war, this means putting your

best foot forward with an o� er free of

subjects to fi nancing and inspection,

as well as a tight closing date. All of

which put a ton of stress on buyers

who feel panicked, picking the next

home available instead of the best

home for them.

Buying presale can relieve some of the

pressure. In the lower mainland, buying

presale means buying a home before it

has fi nished construction and in many

cases before construction has even

started. Your home may take up to three

years to be ready for you to move into

depending on how early you buy and the

type of home you’re buying.

Presale a� ords you the time, selection,

and spread out deposit structure desired

in such a signifi cant decision. The

seven-day rescission period permits

you the time to really think through

your decision, you can choose between

multiple fl oorplans to fi nd the one that

best suits your lifestyle and a spread out

deposit structure allows you additional

time to save for the deposit, and the end

result is a brand new home!

The key to presale success is to stay

up-to-date on upcoming projects in

your desired neighbourhood. Ensure that

you’ve registered online to be fi rst to

receive important information, make sure

you’re working with a realtor for early

information, and visit the MAC website

which lists presale homes that are now

selling, as well as presale communities

that are coming soon.

MOVE OVER VANCOUVER, with your pricey homes, bridges and

traffic congestion. Just like Brooklyn has sucked all the young

creative and middle class out of Manhattan in the last couple

of decades, Burnaby is about to do the same to Vancouver.

A large supply of new buildings, proximity to transit, post-

secondary institutions, recreation and shopping are going to

make Burnaby the first residential choice, no longer the back-

up plan.

Large, diverse and spread out, unassuming Burnaby has

always been defined primarily by its proximity to the city, but

soon it will also be defined as where everyone young and cool

now lives.

It’s always been a nice, respectable suburb where you grew

up before moving into the city, (though you might move back

once you had a kid and wanted to settle down). In the 1980s

the mall at Metrotown became an attraction, but although

both Skytrain’s Millennium and Expo lines go through either

end of the city, Burnaby was still a place

you had to get through on your way to

somewhere else.

Not so today. The available land,

progressive growth strategy and

plethora of transit hubs have turned

Burnaby into a destination and a coveted

place to live. With exorbitant prices in

Vancouver and very little housing supply,

Burnaby’s transformation has been

drawing homebuyers from all over Metro

Vancouver, and they’re primarily young,

educated, and upwardly mobile. And

they’re snapping up Burnaby condos and

townhomes like they’re fresh cronuts on

residential towers sell out in less than a

year. Station Square in Metrotown had

similar spectacular success.

Now Concord Pacific, famous for

creating much of the Yaletown we know

and love on the vacant Expo lands, is

getting in on the action with a new

26-acre master-planned community

just on the other side of Lougheed from

Brentwood Mall.

“Concord Brentwood will transform

an underutilized industrial area into a

beautiful and diverse mixed-use park-

side community that completes the

exciting revitalization of the Brentwood

Town Centre neighbourhood,” says

Matt Meehan, senior vice-president

of planning with Concord Pacific

Developments Inc.

Designed by award-winning architect

James K.M. Cheng of Vancouver,

Concord Brentwood will consist of

10 glass and concrete towers, most

between 40 and 45 storeys tall. Tower

1 of Phase 1 will consist of 426 units on

45 storeys. It’s being marketed as “the

new Yaletown”, which appeals to young

professionals looking for a trendy and

connected place to call home.

What is so attractive about Burnaby?

For one thing, Burnaby’s leaders have

created a very dynamic action plan for

development that works around four

town centres, Brentwood, Metrotown,

Edmonds and Lougheed, 11 urban

villages, and seven suburban multi-

family areas that will support the over

2,000 units of new housing Burnaby will

need each year for the next 25 years of

population growth. Sustainability, transit,

educational facilities and parks are

integral to this strategy.

In his annual address refl ecting on

the year past, Mayor Derek Corrigan

spoke about some of the development

and plans for future greenspace. “In the

rapidly developing Brentwood Town

Centre, for example, the Gilmore Station

Plan, developed in partnership with

the community, will ensure citizens’

expectations are front and centre. The

plan includes signifi cant open areas

among the many new residential and

commercial buildings. In addition,

conceptual design work is well under

way for the much-anticipated Willingdon

Greenway that will link Brentwood Town

Centre to Confederation Park. This

green space will provide an attractive,

pedestrian oriented public park linking

the Heights and Brentwood Town

Centre, two iconic areas of our city.”

Burnaby also has many of the

province’s leading academic institutions,

including SFU and BCIT. But most of all,

it has the potential to supply enough

new homes to ensure that there are

many new, aff ordable options. With

the infl ux of new residents comes new

businesses, restaurants and amenities.

Says Dan Wilson, Executive Vice

President of Shape Living, “The Amazing

Brentwood addresses the region’s

aff ordability by providing a vibrant

master-planned, mixed-use community

with a variety of housing alternatives to

the single family home. Its location, a

20-minute drive from downtown, also

off ers an aff ordable way to commute via

SkyTrain, which is seamlessly connected

onsite. By creating this world-class

community full of shopping, dining and

entertainment, residents can enjoy an

urban lifestyle with homes at nearly half

the cost of owning downtown. Shape

also plans to deliver this high density

mixed-used model at Lougheed next, a

42-acre transit-oriented master-plan.”

Mayor Corrigan is certainly happy

with the direction his city is progressing.

“The city is again well positioned to

build on our plans and achievements,

keeping Burnaby a city that models

social, environmental and economic

sustainability, and is nationally

recognized as a great — and, I would

argue, the best — place to live, work,

learn and play”. When Vancouver is a

ghost town of Airbnb rentals and absent

millionaires, all the fun will be happening

next door in Burnaby — the new

Brooklyn of the Pacifi c Northwest.

Just like Brooklyn has sucked all the young creative and middle class out of Manhattan in the last couple of decades, Burnaby is about to do the same to Vancouver.

BURNABY/NEW WESTMINSTER

Advice | MIND OVER MORTGAGE

By Alisa Aragon


WHETHER YOU ARE a fi rst time buyer,

looking at buying a bigger house or

downsizing, if you are looking at buying

an investment property it is important to

do it be prepared. This spring a sellers’

market is in full swing, which is more

noticeable in certain areas of the Lower

Mainland. With historically low interest

rates, buyers are making the jump into

homeownership, because for many,

their mortgage payments will be less

than what they are paying in rent. It is

certainly a great time to get into the

market. However, in a sellers’ market

buyers fi nd themselves in competition

with other buyers to purchase a home.

Buying a home can be exciting but

having to compete for it can add a lot

more stress. In this case, a property’s

asking price and what the property will

sell for is quite diff erent, and in most

cases the selling price will be well above

and beyond the listed price.

When a homebuyer goes into a

multiple off er situation, they are less in

control. As a buyer, you need to prepare

yourself by doing work upfront and with

the understanding that you might not get

the property in the end.

During multiple off er situations, the

seller is not obligated to negotiate or

accept any of the off ers. The seller has

the liberty to choose the best off er to

negotiate and they will accept the off er

that best refl ects their needs. While price

is important, that will not be the only

Coming out on topImprove your chances, and reduce your stress, in a multiple o� er situation

factor they consider. They will also look

at things such as subject conditions,

completion and possession dates.

Here are some things you can

consider and help you feel more in

control of the situation when going into

multiple offer situations:

» Get pre-qualified by a Mortgage

Expert – One of the most important

aspects of buying a home is knowing how

much you qualify for. You will need to

know what you are comfortable paying

on a monthly basis but also what is the

highest amount you can offer. While you

might be qualified, the lender still has to

approve the property you are buying.

» Prepare and have all your

documentation ready – It is important

that you provide your Mortgage Expert

will all the documentation the lender

is going to require upfront. Especially

since time will be of essence, you

don’t want the added stress of getting

documentation when you are in the

middle of negotiations and during the

subject condition period.

» Having the right real estate agent – It

is critical that you have an agent that has

your best interest in mind. As a buyer it

is not your job to seal the deal, it’s your

agent’s responsibility to know what is

your limit and respect that. Don’t let your

agent try to upsell you on the price and

encourage you to go above your budget.

It’s their job to research comparable

properties in the area and advise you,

but you are the one that makes the final

decision. After all, it’s your money.

» Set your boundaries – Once you set

your budget, stick to it. Determine how

exactly how much you can go over if

you end up in multiple offers. Don’t get

sucked in by emotion and peer pressure

because in the end it can end up costing

you a lot more money.

» Consider doing a home inspection

ahead of time - The buyer could

consider your offer more readily if it

doesn’t include a “subject to inspection”

clause.

» Be flexible – Winning a multiple offer

situation might be as easy as agreeing

to the seller’s conditions such as closing

dates, buying the property “as is” or even

tightening the subject removal dates.

This is important if the seller has already

bought another property and is anxious

to move on. By agreeing to make the

transaction as easy as possible could

mean winning over a more generous

offer. When buying a property “as is” and

limiting the subject conditions (such as

requesting that a missing knob or floor

tile be replaced) might work in your

favour too. If your agent is aware of any

information about the seller’s situation

and if you can be flexible in any way, take

advantage of this opportunity that might

help you get your offer accepted.

» Write it down – Perhaps you might

want to write a quick letter to the

seller explaining who you are and

why you want to buy their home so

much. Buying and selling a home is an

emotional time for everyone, especially

if the seller has lived in that home for a

long time and raised their family there.

Sometimes, it’s not about the highest

offer but it can certainly also be about

an emotional connection. Even though

your offer might be lower than the

others, some sellers might feel a strong

connection to your story and decide

that it’s not about the money but about

someone who will really appreciate a

great home!

» Know when it is time to walk away

– Multiple offer situations can be

stressful and sometimes listing agents

strategically set the price of the home

below market value to start a multiple

offer situation. Make sure you stand firm.

Buying your home is about a great

investment and you have to be smart

about it. In the end, it’s about being

comfortable on what you are paying a

month and happy with the decisions you

make. After all it’s about finding a home

that will be a great place to start building

equity and creating memories.

If your agent is aware of any information about the seller’s situation and if you can be flexible in any way, take advantage of this opportunity that might help you get your offer accepted.
