G reater Vancouver home sales over the month, which rose more than 36 per cent year over year, according to Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported March 2. Like January’s figures, and like the Fraser Valley, the residential unit sales volume is the highest ever recorded for the month of February in Greater Vancouver, said the board. Sales Greater Vancouver home sales in February totalled 4,172, a 36.3 per cent rise compared with the 3,061 sales recorded in February 2015 and an increase of 65.6 per cent versus January 2016, when 2,519 homes sold. February’s sales were 56.3 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month and were also 65.6 per cent higher than January’s figures, as the spring market got under way early. Split by property type, there were 1,778 detached home sales in the region in February, a rise of 37.2 per cent versus February 2015, and an increase of 69.8 per cent month over month. Townhome and other attached property sales continued to grow, although they further slowed their rate of annual sales growth in February. The total of 604 sales was a year-over-year increase of 15.9 per cent and a jump of nearly 61 per cent over January. Sales of condominium-apartments totalled 1,790 in February 2016, an increase of 43.9 per cent compared with February 2015. This was once more the fastest annual sales growth of the three types, and again the property type with the highest total sales. It was also a 63 per cent leap over January’s figures. Listings Property inventory was still tight in February, although it continued its recovery compared with recent months. New listings for all home types in Metro Vancouver totalled 5,812 in February 2016, an increase of 7.1 per cent compared with February 2015, and a strong boost of 30.8 per cent month over month. The total number of properties currently available as of the end of February is 7,299. This is a 38.7 per cent drop compared with February 2015 but an 8.9 per cent increase compared to January 2016. Greater Vancouver’s sales-to-active listings ratio for February 2016 is 57.2 per cent, making it the 12th consecutive month that the sales-to-active-listings ratio has been above 30 per cent in Metro Vancouver, as the strong sellers’ market retains its firm grip. Benchmark Prices Metro Vancouver’s combined residential benchmark price predictably set another new record in February, at $795,500, a rise of 22.2 per cent compared with February 2015 and a 0.7 per cent rise over the previous month’s price. The area’s typical detached home is now priced at $1,305,600, a rise of 27 per cent compared with the same month last year, and once more the sharpest rise in prices of all the property types. This was a rise of 0.9 per cent over January’s $1,293,700. The benchmark price of a townhome or other attached unit in Greater Vancouver increased 17 per cent over February 2015 to $569,600, up 1 per cent compared with January.

Onni Group unveils the last offering in the sought-after Victoria Hill masterplanned community in New Westminster

In the highly sought-after masterplanned community of Victoria Hill, one of the largest and most

respected developers in Canada, Onni Group, is once again off ering a unique and exciting new project, The Royal.

Designed by award-winning Yamamoto Architecture, The Royal will feature two boutique four-storey buildings blending the best of Old World charm with today’s contemporary design.

The Royal features only 63 homes, including six townhomes centered on a

beautifully landscaped plaza that will cre-ate a gathering place and further encour-age the sense of community that has made Victoria Hill so popular with its residents. Thoughtfully designed, these homes will refl ect the lifestyle needs of fi rst-time home owners, downsizers and empty nest-ers.

Situated at the heart of the award-win-ning community, nestled between Centre Pond Park and The Grand Lawn, with heritage trees, paths and greenways, it’s easy to understand why there’s been such a huge response.

“The Royal will be the last chance to buy a brand new home in Victoria Hill, a well-established neighbourhood with over 40 acres of green space,” says Sam Jenkins, regional sales manager at Onni Group of Companies. “This will be a very limited opportunity and is the fi nal piece of land to be developed at Victoria Hill, which Onni has been building for over a decade now.”

Victoria Hill is attracting a lot of buzz from the immediate or surrounding cities, everyone taken by the natural beauty that surrounds this community.

“It’s a much more aff ordable option and more and more people are moving here for its central location within the Lower Mainland and the bridgeless commute downtown,” he adds.

Ranging from 610 to 1,385 square feet, The Royal features spacious one- and three-bedroom homes that include gen-erous outdoor space (with particularly large terraces on all upper-level homes) for entertaining or catching a spectacular sunset.

Then there is the private, residents-only amenities space. It showcases a 1,300-square-foot professionally equipped fi tness centre with state-of-the-art weight-lifting equipment. As well, there is a well-appointed outdoor lounge for dining and entertaining with direct access to a beau-

tifully landscaped rooftop overlooking the Fraser River with a BBQ area and artifi cial turf lawn.

The Royal off ers a truly carefree living experience in this New Westminster com-munity. Starting from $329,900, these beautifully appointed homes are rare today. In addition, your new home is close to transit, shopping and everything an urbanite wants.

“The Royal is the fi nal chapter for Victoria Hill,” adds Jenkins. “A pedestrian friendly neighbourhood located right next door to Queen’s Park … people love the sense of community that Onni has created here and really appreciate how connected it is to transit yet hidden away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.”

For more information, call 604-523-0733, email [email protected] or visit www.onni.com/theroyal. Open daily from noon to 6pm (except Fridays). Estimated completion is slated for fall 2017.
