BC Budget 2016: First-Time Buyers Sidelined, New

Home Buyers Win

Editorial: Budget Measures Promote Development– For Better or Worse

Guide to Being aLandlord #2: Furnished vs

Unfurnished Rentals

Tackling the real estate market in Vancouver and the surrounding areas can be a daunting

prospect. Mainstream media regularly deliver headlines such as “Aff ordability crisis” and “Must have $1 million” and report average prices and statistics that are enough to get anybody’s head reeling. For anybody who is simply looking for a home in the region at a price they can aff ord, it can seem like an impossible task.

What those media reports don’t off er is real, practical answers to questions that you may have as a prospective buyer. These could include:• Can I afford a Metro Vancouver

home on my income?• Which are the neighbourhoods

where I can find the best value?• Should I buy a new home or a

resale property?• Will I have to pay Property

Transfer Tax?• How can I fund my down pay-

ment?• How do the new minimum down

payment rules work? • What will happen to mortgage

interest rates?• What other costs do I have to

consider?

• How does living in a strata unit work?

• How can I save money on energyefficiency?

“It’s easy to get caught up in the buying frenzy. Understanding mortgage options and just how much one can aff ord, reviewing market data and fi nancial forecasts; knowing how to work with a REALTOR®, in what is a very strong sellers’ market; understanding what is covered by New Home Warranty – having answers to questions like these will help relieve pressure, and keep the buyer focused on their end goal” said Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA).

Luckily for local would-be buyers, help with all these questions and many more is now at hand.

The GVHBA is holding its highly popular, free annual Home Buyer Seminar on Wednesday, March 2, from 5pm to 8pm at SFU Harbour Centre in downtown Vancouver.

The event will kick off at 5pm with the Buyers’ Marketplace, which is your chance to meet industry companies, real estate services and home builders to get answers to some of your specifi c questions.

Then from 6pm to 7.30pm, the main seminar will tackle these topics:• Planning to buy a presale

condo? What are the benefits and considerations to investing in the presale stage?

• New homes: What are the benefits to purchasing a new home? What does the New Home Warranty cover?

• Legal documents: When and what should you be signing?

• Rates trending upwards: What is the best option? Variable or fixed?

• Home energy choices: Hard numbers and benefits for con-sideration.

• Strata councils: Living and working within the rules. What are your rights, resources and

responsibilities?• Market stats: Vancouver’s mar-

ket is hot! With multiple bid-ding, how does one work with a real estate agent to achieve one’s purchase goals? Where are the up-and-coming neigh-bourhoods?

The event will end with a Q&A session at 7.30pm, along with prize draws.

The GVHBA Home Buyer Seminar is free to attend but seating is limited and registration is expected to reach capacity in advance. Register your place today at gvhba.org/events. Those who are unable to attend in person can register at gvhba.org/events to view the live seminar online, and email or text in questions for the Q&A session.

Convenient location, nice views and quality construction make this townhome community hard to beat

I n P r i n t > O n l i n e > Y o u r c o m p r e h e n s i v e s o u r c e f o r l o c a l r e a l e s t a t e n e w s a n d l i s t i n g s

A sunny hilltop overlooking the mountains and rolling terrain is the site of developer Woodbridge

Properties’ latest boutique townhome community in Surrey’s Grandview Heights neighbourhood.

Tucked away on a quiet street among green space and mature trees, Oliver off ers three- to four-bedroom Craftsman-style homes embodying high-quality fam-ily living, in a location that is hard to beat.

With two schools within easy walking distance, residents will be able to watch their kids head off to school before stroll-ing over to the coff ee shops and stores at nearby Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners shopping centres.

“Everyone says ‘location, location,’ but ours really does have the location that makes it great, with an array of ame-nities at your doorstep,” says Jessica Radziszewska, marketing manager with Woodbridge Properties. “It’s low-density – only 57 homes on approximately three acres that are lushly landscaped – and overlooks the northern mountain range.”

Many of the homes will have views

of the mountains, but if they don’t, they will have a walk-out deck and/or yard, Radziszewska says.

With larger homes of just under 1,900 square feet and smaller homes between 1,500 and 1,640 square feet, Oliver off ers ideal options for families and downsizers alike.

“Homes are geared for families, but downsizers selling their big homes will also fi nd us very appealing,” Radziszewska says. “A lot of our homes are larger, with double-wide garages, a spacious open-plan main fl oor, good-sized bedrooms upstairs and a bonus room that has the option to be built out as a fourth bedroom with closet and an optional bathroom.”

Woodbridge has a history of devel-oping high-quality townhome commu-nities in Surrey, including Rosemary Gate, Blackberry Walk and Abbey Road. Likewise, Oliver homes will boast the highest-quality construction, Radziszewska says.

“Our construction partner, Park Ridge Homes, is known in the Lower Mainland for producing a quality home, using mate-

rials that you know are going to last,” she says.

The homes’ Craftsman-style archi-tecture features characteristic steeply pitched roofl ines, mullioned windows, gable trusses, painted wood trim and shingled exteriors, with columns framing the entry doors.
