How Changes to New Home Rules

Affect Buyers

Vancouver Sees Drop in Housing Starts in

October: CMHC

How to Turn Your Home into an Investment

Property

From the North Shore to White Rock to

UBC to Chilliwack, fi rst-time buyers con-

tinue to make inroads into the Lower

Mainland’s booming real estate market.

Spurred on by continued low interest

rates and often taking advantage of a

helping parental hand, these purchasers

are smart and committed.

Here we take a look at the top fi ve trends

among this savvy, growing demographic.

Transit OrientationEnvironmentally sophisticated, fi rst-time

buyers increasingly embrace a lifestyle

that’s less reliant on private vehicles,

meaning proximity to transit is a major

factor in where they purchase. Transit-

friendly neighbourhoods like the

Cambie Corridor, Metrotown,

Brentwood and the new

downtown Surrey are the

new superstars for this

demographic.

Many fi rst time

buyers are simply saying “no” to owning

a vehicle at all – they’ll put that extra

money toward a down payment or paying

off their mortgage faster. According to

data compiled by ICBC, some are taking it

one step further and not even bothering to

get a driver’s license.

Space and AmenitiesTo make the move from renting, many

fi rst-timers are willing sacrifi ce size as

long as the space functions well. Savvy

developers are responding with increas-

ingly innovative ways to make smaller

units multi-purpose – islands that expand

to become a dining table, sliding walls

that allow interior rooms to be separated

or combined, offi ce

nooks, and so on.

Urban amenities

are also essen-

tial to this demographic since they tend

to view them as an extension of their liv-

ing room. Many will forsake entertaining

at home altogether, preferring instead to

meet friends at the local coff ee shop or

restaurant. Bonus: no dishes to clean up

after.

Migration to the ’BurbsWhether it’s the ability to own a larger

home or simply a desire to pay less than

a comparable home in the city, moving to

the suburbs is one enticing alternative to

existing urban centres. For many, the pri-

mary motivator is being able to purchase

a bigger home with a yard. Others want

a quieter, more rural neighbourhood. Of

note are the outlying areas where, once

a critical mass of new homes is achieved,

new amenities and jobs follow. Prime

examples of this are Yorkson in Langley

and Morgan Heights in South Surrey.

The Bank of Mom and DadThe Bank of Mom and Dad (BMD) is rap-

idly becoming a fi nancial necessity for

most fi rst-time buyers. In fact, according

to a Bank of Montreal survey, about 40

per cent of fi rst-time buyers in Metro

Vancouver expect some fi nancial

assistance from parents.

“Without the help of my fi ancé’s dad, we

wouldn’t have been able to purchase a

home,” says one 26-year-old fi rst-time

home buyer, adding that their mortgage

payments will be only $300 more than

their current rent.

Anecdotal evidence also suggests many

BMDs are also allowing adult children to

remain at home longer with minimal or no

rent payments, so they can save their own

down payment.

Cyber SavvyOnline research continues gaining

momentum especially with younger fi rst-

time buyers. According to Shaadi Faris,

vice-president of Intergulf, “The extensive

online research conducted by homebuyers

is highly evident. Buyers are coming to us

with knowledge of how the purchase pro-

cess works, know what specifi c features

and dimensions they are looking for, and

have fi rm fi gures in mind.”

Social media, too, is changing how buyers

shop. Many sales representatives report

buyers coming into a presentation centre,

liking what they see, and within minutes

connecting with friends or partners for

their input.

Facing retirement and a 40+ year old

home in need of repairs, Michael and Myrna

Chen had to decide between renovating or

buying a new home.

“Our house needs a lot of renovating and

the lot is too much work for my husband,”

says Myrna of their home in Steveston.

“We had seen Zenterra’s Zen Townhomes

and really loved them. When we found

out about Hyde Park, we bought one sight

unseen.”

Other considerations for the couple

included price and location.

“We really like the location and we are

getting much more value for our dollar in

South Surrey. In addition, it’s so close to

everything and yet there are lots of trees

and green space so that you don’t feel like

you are in a big row of homes,” she says,

adding she can’t wait to live in a brand

new home.

Hyde Park is a master-planned town-

home community sitting on over 10 acres,

located minutes from Morgan Crossing.

“Three acres will remain as green space.

The fi rst phase consists of 58 homes which

we are pre-selling,” says Donna Dalkie,

Sales Manager, Zenterra Developments.

“These are beautiful transitional Arts and

Crafts designed homes, with brick and

cedar shake accents, featuring an eclectic

colour palette which has never been seen

in the area.”

The West Coast contemporary residenc-

es, ranging from 1200 to 3000 square feet,

off er a selection of two to fi ve bedroom

(some with a master on the main and built-

in wet bar in the basement) homes.

The extra-spacious interiors are dis-

tinguished by engineered laminate wide

plank fl ooring throughout the main,

sprawling windows to bring the outdoors

in and luxurious master ensuites with tile

surround. The gourmet kitchens include

your choice of Shaker-style or Italian two

toned contemporary cabinetry, islands,

quartz countertops, single slab quartz

backsplash and a premium stainless steel

appliance package.

Hyde Park will feature Zenterra’s

Signature Entertainment Wall, which was

so well received in Zen. This custom-built

wall is distinguished by a fully integrated

wire management system and accentuated

by a modern elongated electric fi replace.

Residents will enjoy exclusive entry into

the private Lancaster Club – a 5500 square

foot two-level clubhouse featuring a gym,

media room, games room, multi-purpose

sports room and a fully landscaped outdoor

patio with barbecue and seating area to

encourage a sense of community.

Hyde Park is yet another example of

the excellence and quality that Zenterra

Developments is well known for; they are

the standards the company delivered in

its last two hugely successful projects –

Zen and Boardwalk. The award-winning

developer has garnered a trusted name in

the industry.

The uncommon elegance and high-end

features appointed in every suite make

these truly beautiful homes. This is a won-

derful opportunity to be part of a scenic

and vibrant neighbourhood minutes from

great schools, parks, beaches, shopping,

culture, and entertainment.

With prices starting in the low

$400,000’s come and discover what the

excitement is all about. The Grand Opening

is slated for Saturday, Nov 29th from noon

to 6 p.m. The presentation centre is located
