City of Vancouver Planning Process “Out of Sync with

Residents”: New City Manager

Editorial: New Shadow Flipping Rules are Fine, But

Wonʼt Help Struggling Buyers

April 2016 was likely the hottest April in recorded history – and that was also true for Greater Vancouver real estate.

Residential unit sales in the region saw the busiest-ever April – although they didn’t reach the highs of the previous month, according to the latest statistics from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) issued May 3.

April home sales in Greater Vancouver totalled 4,781, a 14.4 per cent rise compared with the 4,179 sales recorded in April 2015, 41.7 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month, but a drop of 7.6 cent compared with March 2016, when 5,173 homes were sold.

A total of 1,979 single-family homes were sold in April, which is a rise of nine per cent from the 1,815 transactions recorded in April 2015, but a 7.3 per cent drop compared with March’s 2,135 detached home sales.

Sales of townhouses and other attached homes were the only property type to drop year over year. The 695 total was fall of 11.6 per cent over the 785 transactions in April 2015, which is likely to be a result of the extremely limited inventory of this housing type. Sales were also down 11.6 per cent compared with March’s 786 townhome transactions.

It was a diff erent story for condo-apartment units,

2,107 of which exchanged hands in April 2016, an increase of 33.4 per cent compared with the 1,579 sales in April 2015. Condos once more saw the fastest annual sales growth of the three home types, and were again the property type with the highest total sales. However, April’s fi gures were a 6.4 per cent decline from March’s 2,252 condo-apartment sales.

New and Active Listings Property inventory only slightly improved in April,

with new listings for all home types in Metro Vancouver up 3.9 per cent to 6,127, compared with the 5,897 units listed in April 2015. However, this was a drop of 2.4 per cent compared with the 6,278 new listings in March 2016.

With so many buyers looking for homes, this meagre off ering of new listings was not nearly enough. The total number of properties currently available for sale on Metro Vancouver’s MLS® as of the end of April is 7,550. This is a 39.3 per cent drop from the 12,436 active listings at the end of April 2015, although a 2.6 per cent increase compared with 7,358 total listed properties as of the end of March.

Greater Vancouver’s sales-to-active listings ratio for April 2016 is now 63.3 per cent, now in its 14th consecutive month of the sales-to-active-listings ratio

being above 30 per cent in Metro Vancouver, as the sellers’ market keeps its fi rm grip.

“Home buyer competition remains intense across the region,” said Dan Morrison, REBGV president. “Whether you’re a home buyer or seller, it’s important to work with your local REALTOR® to get the information you need and to develop a strategy that will help you navigate today’s market.”

Benchmark Prices Metro Vancouver’s combined residential property

type benchmark price predictably set another new record in April, at $844,800 – a year-over-year rise of 25.3 per cent compared with April 2015.

The area’s typical detached home is now priced at $1,403,200, a rise of 30.1 per cent compared with the same month last year, and once more the steepest price rise of all the property types. This was a rise of 4.5 per cent over March’s $1,342,500.

The benchmark price of a townhome or other attached unit in Greater Vancouver increased 22.1 per cent over April 2015 to $608,600, up 3.3 per cent compared with March.

Condo-apartment benchmark prices rose 20.6 per cent from April 2015 to $475,000. This property type increased in price by 2.6 per cent compared with March.

The historic fi shing village of Steveston blends the best of urban sophistication with rural charm. It is a mixed bag of

small independent shops, trendy restau-rants, bistros and coff ee shops, all within about eight square blocks.

Now there is another reason to move into the neighbourhood. Bordered by a 15-acre park, the former Steveston Secondary site in Richmond has received a major facelift. Welcome to Polygon’s Kingsley Estates – a collection of 133 executive-style four-bedroom townhomes ranging from 1,688 to 2,008 square feet.

“Kingsley Estates is a benchmark new community in Richmond,” says May Kam, Kingsley Estates sales manager. “Imagine experiencing exceptional townhome living in a serene community alongside a magnifi -cent 15-acre park, complete with lush land-

scaping, a private clubhouse, and a live-in caretaker for additional peace of mind.”

Architecturally, the Tudor-inspired homes at Kingsley Estates are highlighted by exposed timber detailing and steeped gable roofl ines. These thoughtfully designed West Coast-inspired homes feature four bed-rooms, overheight 10-foot ceilings in the main-fl oor living areas, powder rooms with marble fl ooring and large windows with views of the surrounding treetops. The kitch-ens are complemented with wood or acrylic fi nish cabinetry, engineered stone counter-tops with full-height marble backsplash, large islands, gas cooktops and walk-in pantries.

The homes also boast side-by-side garag-es, maintenance-free landscaping and a charming front yard with quaint wooden fencing.

After a long day, residents can head over to the private clubhouse and unwind beside the fi replace’s warmth or lace up their runners and get in a workout in the fully equipped fi tness room. The clubhouse is designed to become the hub for neigh-bours, family and friends to get together. The indoor-outdoor gathering space is sepa-rated by the double doors that lead from the lounge to a courtyard with plenty of space to relax and enjoy soirees.

Parkside living, endless cycling and walking trails, quality fi nishes and a great location in Steveston – just some of the reasons why Polygon’s Kingsley Estates is so appealing to many.

“Living in the fi nest area of Richmond comes with exclusive benefi ts, including being minutes from the restaurants, bou-tiques and shoreline pathways of Steveston

Village, as well as the exciting shopping andurban amenities of Richmond city centre,”adds Kam.

The Polygon family of companies is syn-onymous with building excellence. Withmore than three decades of experiencein the province, Polygon has built morethan 26,000 homes throughout the LowerMainland – everything from concrete high-rises and wood-frame condominiums totownhomes and single-family communities.The developer is known for its commitmentto quality design, sound construction andexceptional customer service.
