What rules your new-home choice?Lifestyle increasingly infl uenti al for buyers

New-home buyers are often driven by different in� uences, but there’s no doubt lifestyle is an increasingly important factor. Whether you’re considering a home near the beach, a golf course or a city penthouse or pied-à-terre, you’re likely

looking to compensate for what you don’t have in your current residence.The amount of living space is usually the issue – either too much or too little. Most

young families are looking for more living space, which is why builders are designinghomes with interiors that maximize every square foot of living space to make the mostof your money.

As we get older, the quest for living space may take a different direction. Downsizing is usually the answer, although many homeowners with existing homes in suburban or rural areas are acquiring townhomes or pied-à-terres in the city. An urban location gives owners and their friends a chance to enjoy the social and cultural activities of the city without having to drive for hours to get home.

In today’s hectic world, your new home will be your retreat, so it’s important to � nd is to � nd a home that suits your needs and lifestyle. In this issue, we pro� le new communities which offer the perfect place to put up your feet, plus the latest industry news and features about buying and owning a new home.

Enjoy!

We’re approaching February already – a period we often associate with blahs, but also a month worth celebrating, given that it’s the shortest of the year, and March and spring soon follow. And while the deadline for 2012 Registered Retirement

Savings Plan contributions isn’t until March 1, and April 30 for � ling your 2012 income tax return, perhaps we need to start thinking of February in a different light altogether.

Indeed, coming up in our two February issues is our Tax Matters content; the idea was to explore this topic in advance of � ling deadlines, to help readers learn about opportunities to take advantage of while they still can.

But, heeding the advice of experts, perhaps “tax time” should instead be a year-round task. From making regular RRSP contributions to comparing RRSPs and tax-free savings accounts to learning of the various credits available, tax planning for some is as necessary as the inevitable taxes themselves.

Preparing as best you can throughout the year might help minimize the sting come deadline time – and help you learn to embrace the opportunities to save, not just fear what you have to pay.

“The symbol of quality,” is more than a marketing tagline for local home builder Brad Hughes of Park Ridge Homes, now building the exclusive Abbey Road development in partnership with Woodbridge Homes. Whether his seasoned

team of professionals is building a $1-million custom home or a $400,000 townhome, attention to detail, superior building materials, quality control and attentive customer service are consistent.

“For every one of our projects, it’s all plywood construction – fl oor, ceiling, roof and walls. Never particle board,” explains Hughes. “We build for a discern-ing client and strive to have each home perfect when homebuyers move in. We educate them how to look after their home, and offer attentive customer service two, fi ve, even 10 years down the road.”

where landscaping and mature evergreens integrate for a private setting that’s also walking distance to the gym, grocery store and coffee shops.

While it’s easy to get swept away by Abbey Road’s modern finishes, con-temporary showhome and classic Georgian architecture, it’s the assurance of an honest work ethic and seeing the difference true quality makes, that is proving to be the real deciding factor for recent buyers.

“When you’re buying a home you should always look for the best you can afford, and here buyers are getting that amazing combination of a great location, quality construction by a trusted builder, and finishes that are second-to-none,” says sales manager Tara Desmond. “Those that have shopped around see the difference right away – nicely cased doors, abundance of pot lights, sleek quartz countertops and a natural-gas range, that are all standard finishes.”

WHERE WILL YOU SPLURGE? BUY TODAY AND RECEIVE $10,000 IN UPGRADES Choosing between a two, three and four-bedroom townhome and two colour schemes, is just the beginning of exciting choices that await buyers who visit Abbey Road’s presentation centre, now located within the community’s club-house and billiards lounge.

Priced from $379,900 including tax, seven floorplans ranging from 1,330 to 1,915 sq. ft. provide a wonderful variation of space to accommodate all stages of life whether you’re looking for a two-level with master on the main floor, or a plan with extra flex space for a home office, teen room or kids play area.

With a $10,000 upgrade incentive, you can even add crown mouldings, upgrade to professional-series appliances or bring home automation capabilities to your home. Having built custom homes for almost 30 years, Park Ridge Homes has been known to go beyond what’s on the upgrade list to accommodate buyers’ special requests for flooring or custom cabinetry. Their name has become syn-onymous with quality and their work has been rewarded in the industry.

As a valued partner with Park Ridge on Abbey Road, the development group of Woodbridge Homes brings extensive experience in the new home development industry, having created thousands of homes throughout Metro Vancouver, Wash-ington and California. With a current portfolio of new developments throughout the Lower Mainland, Woodbridge Homes is committed to providing families with a home that they’ll be proud to call their own for many years. For further details on other Woodbridge communities, please visit wbhomes.ca

Abbey Road is open daily (except Fridays) from noon to 5 p.m., at 2469 164th St. in South Surrey. Call 604.542.0660 for information or online at abbeyroadliving.com

ExpErts on thE Canadian housing markEt from BMO Financial Group and the industry participated in the inau-gural BMO Housing Panel for 2013 to discuss the past year and provide their outlook over the next 12 months.

According to Sal Guatieri, senior economist, BMO Capital Markets, after a decade-long boom, the so-called soft landing appears to be underway in most regions; the expectation is that this trend will continue into 2013.

“Home sales and housing starts will continue to moderate and prices will generally stabilize in most regions in 2013,” says Guat-ieri. “In the year ahead, the housing market will be supported by moderate job growth, steady immigration, growing demand from echo boomers entering their prime first-time home buying years, and a gradual shift toward more single-person households.”

The real estate market will benefit from continued low inter-est rates, with the Bank of Canada likely on hold for another year, he adds.

Guatieri also notes that Alberta and Saskatchewan could buck the national trend and see higher prices due to continued healthy economic growth and wage increases. Meanwhile, pricier Toronto and Vancouver are likely to have a bumpier landing than most other regions, with some prices declining moderately.

AffordAbility And consumer preferenceConrad Zurini, Broker of Record, ReMax Escarpment Realty, says affordability is in question in major cities including Calgary, Toronto and Montreal, with first-time buyers likely staying out of the market for the first half of the year.

Zurini adds that those looking to upgrade will still dominate, given lower interest rates. “People who are into walking, lifestyle and entertainment, the farm-to-table trend and buying local are going to fuel that market for the first half of the year.

“These consumers are all about amenities and lifestyle – they’re very established economically,” says Zurini.

Consumers buying for the first time will likely look to other cities in search of greater value.

“These buyers move with opportunity, following employment and searching out homes with their desired space, ultimately single-family residential homes,” he says. “In 2013, consumers will be paying close attention to the investment side of their buying decision.”

mortgAge And finAncing AdviceJohn Turner, national director, specialized lending, BMO Bank of

i n t h e n e w s

Montreal, outlined a number of factors buyers should keep in mind for financing the purchase of a home.

“The pre-approved process remains a very important keystone in the home buying process, whether you’re a first time home-buyer or a move-up buyer,” says Turner. “Generally speaking, most folks will need to borrow most of the purchase price of the home, so getting a pre-approved mortgage is a smart thing to do even before the home search starts.”

Turner adds that the down payment buyers are able to afford is another important aspect, and that there are strategies buyers should put in place to ensure they can maximize that amount – ultimately lowering their overall housing costs.

“There are a number of different strategies to save for a down payment. With RRSPs, for instance, customers can withdraw up to $25,000 for the purchase of a home,” he says.

Turner also reminds that consumers who pay off their debt quicker pay less interest, and that most mortgages have options embedded in them that help to save money in this way.

“At BMO, we’ve been encouraging customers to take a shorter amortization for some time,” he says. “In addition, rates are as low as they’ve ever been, so it’s certainly a good time to take advantage of this to pay off your debt sooner so you can retire comfortably and with as little debt as possible.”

SOUTH SURREY/WHITE ROCK

CHANGE IS IN THE AIR AT THE GREATER VANCOUVER HOME BUILDERS’ Association. On Nov. 1, 2012, Bob de Wit took over as CEO of one of the country’s largest home builder associations. And while there’s little question that stepping into the shoes of his predecessor, the often outspoken but always succinct Peter Simpson, will be tough, after three months it’s clear de Wit is rising smoothly to the challenge.

This issue, de Wit shares some of his thoughts about the future of home building in the Lower Mainland and what’s coming up for the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association.

Q: GVHBA has undeniably become a force to be reckoned with in the home building and renovation industry – more than 750 members with solidly diverse representation across all sectors: developers, builders, renovators and suppliers. What can consumers look forward to that will be of direct benefi t to them in 2013?A: One of the things we’re particularly excited about is that this spring we’re launching a new GVHBA website designed to make it even easier for consumers to fi nd the information they need about everything to do with home building and renovations.

We’ll also become more active on social media and increase our focus on providing educational seminars for both consumers and our members.

02 Nature’s Walk in Langley is a multi-category contestant in the 2013 Ovation Awards.

03 Jewel by Boffo was named Best Multi-Family Highrise at GVHBA’s 2012 Ovation Awards.

04 Lavish outdoor spaces woo buyers at Morgan Heights in South Surrey.

Q: So what are some of the upcoming GVBHA events consumers should watch for?A: One of our most popular events is still the First Time Home Buyers Seminar on March 19 – a free seminar that now attracts more than 700 people. This year, our panelists will include Robyn Adamache-Lake from CMHC, Tom Reeves from National Home Warranty, Greg van Popta from McQuarrie Hunter, and a senior representative from the Royal Bank.

Naturally, we’ll continue to offer our Home Renovation Seminars and the educational booth at the BC Home + Garden Show that runs Feb. 20 through 24 at BC Place. And later in the year, you can look forward to the Annual Parade of Renovated Homes.Q: What about the 2013 Ovation Awards? Can you give us any hints about what to expect in the fourth year of this annual competition?A: The Ovation Awards have definitely gained traction as a brand consumers recognize and respect. This year we received a record-breaking number of entries – all showcasing the excellence found throughout Metro Vancouver’s renovation, new-home construction and design industries. Finalists will be announced on Feb. 6 and winners will be revealed on April 20 Awards Gala at the Vancouver Convention Centre. It’s going to be a very exciting evening, but you’ll just have to wait to find out who the winners are.Q: Tell us a bit about your background. How did you become part of the GVHBA team?A: My career began 15 years ago in the technology sector. Since then, I’ve worked in corporate finance raising equity capital, been a consult-ant to educational institutions including UBC and the University of California, and four years ago was one of the partners who formed GreenAngel Energy Corp that invests in growth-stage technologies that find new ways to reduce a company’s carbon footprint.

But I knew I was looking for something new. When I met with the GVHBA board, I realized there was a strong entrepreneurial spirit among the members – especially the owner operators. And I like the way this organization can have a positive impact on housing affordability. It was a natural fit.Q: Any hot tips about neighbourhoods to watch?A: Anywhere with new or expanding transportation infrastructure – areas like Surrey or the Evergreen Line or, if you’re looking really long-term, Maple Ridge and Mission.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association represents the resi-dential construction industry in the Greater Vancouver Area. GVHBA acts as a liaison between local governments and housing industry groups, provides cutting-edge education and training, and hosts events like the Ovation Awards and the Annual Parade of Renovated Homes.

This spring we’re launching a new GVHBA website designed to make it

even easier for consumers to find the information they need. BOB dE WiT

The minisTer of finance and The Bank of canada have both expressed concerns over the amount of debt Cana-dians have been carrying. Indeed, a predictable result of an economy wherein the government is forced to keep interest rates low for an extended period is that consumers will find it hard to resist the temptation of borrowing beyond their means. Although there is an increased trend among Canadians ac-cessing equity in their homes, it is important to note there are two differences between those who borrow to support lifestyle and those who leverage to increase wealth.

Over the past few years, the number of Canadians who have taken out a line of credit on their home for anything from home improvements to vacations has increased to the point that the government has raised a red flag. Real estate investors need to be aware of who the government is really targeting – and that is the homeowner who is using his home equity to subsidize his current lifestyle. This is a valid issue, and the government should be concerned about this behaviour. However, this should not be confused with the prudent investor who uses home equity to increase his net worth.

While the government worries over the “lifestyle subsidizer,” the savvy real estate investor recognizes that this extended period of historically low rates creates a unique opportunity to leverage home equity into wealth, creating real estate investments. Inves-tors understand that in order to purchase cash-flowing rental properties, they will need to either come up with the down payment themselves or attempt to put together a joint venture partner. The simplest and least expensive source of capital (outside of cash on hand) is home equity. As such, it is common for almost every investor to set up a line of credit on their home in addition to their mortgage as a way of converting home equity into increased net worth. But what a lot of investors don’t un-derstand is that not all lines of credit are created equal.

There two different types of lines of credit (LOC) in the Canadian mortgage market and it is critical for a savvy real

estate investor to understand the difference. One is a tradi-tional “static LOC” and the other is a “re-advanceable mortgage LOC combination.” On the surface, they may appear similar, but what makes them different is critical to the savvy real estate investor.

A static LOC is the LOC that most homeowners are fa-miliar with and one that the majority of banks and lenders have been offering up for years. It is, quite simply, a line of credit that is placed behind the first mortgage. If a homeown-er has more than 80 per cent of equity in their home they can apply to access that home equity (up to 80 per cent) in the form of a line of credit. The challenge with a static LOC – also known as a Home Equity LOC or HELOC – is that it is static, meaning that if the amount of equity you have in your home were to increase over the course of the mortgage, the maximum amount of money that you would be able to draw out would remain the same, regardless of how much you may have reduced the original mortgage amount by. For example:

Home Value = $400,000 Mortgage Amount = $250,000 80% of Home Value = $320,000 Amount of accessible Home Equity = $ 70,000

In the above example, a HELOC can be arranged for $70,000. This in itself is a fairly straight-forward transaction and one that the majority of Canadians undertake when arranging for a LOC. However, let’s assume that the homeowner in the above example took advantage of every pre-payment privilege available and also had excess cash available through employment bonuses or com-missions. Let’s further assume that this homeowner was able to pre-pay as much as $50,000 of their mortgage over the next two years and were now at a point where they wanted to access some of the additional $50,000 in built-up equity to purchase an in-vestment property. Unfortunately, for our investor, since the

product they chose was a static HELOC, the majority of lenders would need them to re-apply to have the limit on their HELOC increased. Aside from the inconvenience of a new application process, which could be declined if there were any changes in employment (such as shifting from an employee to being self-employed, or simply having a spouse go on maternity leave) our investor would also be subject to ad-ditional legal and appraisal costs. All this because they didn’t get the right advice in the first place.

What they should have arranged is a re-advanceable mortgage/LOC combination. The difference is simple and obvious, but unfortunately many Canadians are still not familiar with the fact that they exist. As the name would suggest, a re-advanceable mort-gage is created in such a way that every dollar of equity that is created by paying down the mortgage portion of the loan, is re-advanced to the line of credit.

In the above example, the $50,000 that was used to reduce the mortgage would be automatically re-advanced to the client and made available to them in their line credit.

The original mortgage would be struc-tured exactly the same with $250,000 set up as a mortgage amount and $70,000 made accessible in the LOC. The difference with the re-advance-able mortgage is that as the $50,000 of equity is paid off the mortgage, the

accessible equity in the line of credit is increased by that same $50,000. In other words, every dollar of equity that is paid off your mortgage is automatically re-advanced to your line of credit. There is no need to re-apply to have it re-advanced – it is done so auto-matically. And the best part is that any time you use money from your line of credit for an investment that has the intention of making money – the interest on the line of credit is tax deductible – a process that is commonly referred to as the smith Manoeuvre.

The proper use of this product is critical for the savvy real estate investor as it ad-dresses two critical areas. The first and most obvious is the fact that access to money for down payments is one of the biggest obstacles to the real estate investor. Using a re-advanceable mortgage/LOC allows an investor to build up funds toward their next down payment simply by making their mortgage payment every month and allowing it to accumulate in their LOC over time. The second less obvious advantage of this product is that it should forever eliminate the argument among couples over whether they should use a particular lump sum of money to pay down their mortgage or invest. proper uti-lization of this product will allow them to do both. simply apply the excess cash onto your principal residence mortgage, thereby reducing your immediate mortgage costs, and then have those same funds re-advanced to your line of credit where it can remain indefinitely available to you until such time that you are ready to invest.

At this point, it should be noted that there is absolutely no additional cost to having the limit on your line of credit increased. You pay interest only on the amount of money you access and only when you access it. It is for this reason that investors looking to access potential equity for the purposes of investing should always use this tool instead of refinancing with a brand new mortgage. If the entire amount of equity were to be accessed in the form of a mortgage, then you would be paying principal and interest payments on the entire amount from the very start of the mortgage.

When used for the purpose of making an investment that has the intention of making money, not only is this a prudent tool for tax purposes but it is also a tool that will help add to your net worth. so as we move into the spring and summer markets, remember, you’ll continue to read headlines about how Canadians are using their homes as ATMs and we should all be cautious about accessing too much equity in our homes to subsi-dize our lifestyles. You, on the other hand, will be utilizing the right tool to access equity to purchase properties that have enough cash flow to service the debt on the subject property and pay the interest on the line of credit. so don’t worry too much about what you read in the headlines, they’re talking about the other guys…

Exploring CartE BlanChE’s sumptuous 3,928-sq.-ft. showhome is as pleasurable as sampling a decadent box of European chocolates. At each turn, a savoury surprise awaits – neutral richness in the Great Room, bedrooms filled with a ganache of colour, and tasteful pairings of rustic country and chic French inspired furnishings.

Nestled in the natural beauty of Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, Wallmark’s boutique development features 16 custom homes, each built on an estate-sized private greenbelt lot ranging in size from 5,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. With just one customized lot remaining, the developer is now selling the coveted showhome, for

CARTE BLANCHE

just shy of $1.1 million, plus the option to purchase all the furnish-ings valued at more than $85,000. Even if that’s not in your New Year’s budget, Carte Blanche is certainly a place to dream and get ideas as to what’s trendsetting in everything from colour palettes to spa baths. The home itself was designed by local architect, Bob Rusbourne, who specializes in the design of single-family “Street of Dreams” homes with an emphasis on practical liveability. The home’s architecture was a jumping off point for interior designer Leslie Waters when styling the showhome.

“I decided to compliment the exterior with a light French Country feel to most of the rooms,” explains Waters.

French Country is defined by its elegant look, with a touch of nature and country mixed in. This look can be achieved by bring-

ing in many of the elements at Carte Blanche: Natural inspiration, rustic country-inspired details, petrified or antiqued woods and decorative faux finishes such as the metallic colour blocks painted in the powder room.

For Waters, the exclusive interior designer for Wallmark Homes and owner of West Coast Design Interiors Ltd., a showhome’s decor doesn’t merely revolve around the creation of an aesthetic interior. It’s about creating a custom space that resonates with homebuyers even if that means juxtaposing beautiful silk drapery in one room with Bob Marley nostalgia in another.

If potential buyers step into the front door and have a peaceful sense of being home, that’s just the beginning of the adventure. She strives to create a display home that showcases its multiple purposes

– places to dine and entertain, areas to unwind and relax, rooms teens will love and spaces enlightened by oversized acrylic canvases by local artists.

“I love good art. It’s the perfect way to express your own personality and style within your home,” says Waters. Two local artists, Carmel Clare and Lauren Schnarr generously put their paintings in the showhome on consignment.

Sales Manager Gina Halinda says these custom crafted homes have captured the fancy of buyers looking for a high-end alternative to the typical West Coast design. While an almost 4,000-sq.-ft. home may feel like a step up to many, the majority of buyers have actually been empty-nesters who are downsizing and love the oppor-tunity to work alongside a designer to personalize every aspect of their new home.

Don’t assume with its formal drawing room complete

with chandelier that this home is more pretense than prac-tical. Just around the corner the spacious laundry room and mud room are prepped to even handle dog dishes and an entourage of after-school backpacks should a family choose this home.

Handsome wire-brushed oak hardwood ties each room together while bringing warmth to the great room which includes a conversation area in front of the hand-painted fireplace surround, a formal dining area overlooking the backyard, and an impressive open-concept kitchen boasting professional-series appliances, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and a sprawling island topped with double-width granite. Restoration Hardware was Waters destination for many of the showhomes’ key pieces including the kitchen stools and dining room chairs.

Showhome visitors won’t be alone if they dream of



transplanting the gallant master bedroom into their own home with its two walk-in closets, handsome solid maple furniture, and spacious ensuite bathroom. This spa retreat features a step-down shower for a luxurious expansive space, private toilet area, as well as shapely Maax freestand-ing acrylic bathtub.

Upstairs there’s a great teen hangout complete with laptop and study nook, and two bedrooms lined with large windows and bay-window seats. The showhome’s basement is configured as a recreation and party room with a wet bar and wine cellar, media lounge and poker table. It’s not surprising the basement bedroom is the designer’s favourite, furnished with an eclectic collection of vintage finds she discovered along Com-mercial Drive.

Carte Blanche is sure to inspire home decor dreams with its elegant twist on the quintessential pleasures of life! Visit daily at 1321 Kingston St. in Coquitlam, open noon to 5 p.m. (except Fridays). Learn more at carteblanchehomes.ca or call 604.420.5220.

IF “NOTHING IS CERTAIN BUT DEATH AND TAXES,” as several famous authors have waxed in various forms, it seems Canadians have a curious way of preparing for the inevitable.

While the deadline for contributing to one’s Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) for the previous tax year is March 1, and for � ling a return April 30, many Canadians take it right down to the wire – especially on the � rst point.

With these deadlines not too far around the corner, it’s an appropriate time to discuss how consumers tend to begin most of their tax planning.

Indeed, as many experts suggest, the best tax planning should begin during the year – not at tax deadline time. But, like death, perhaps Canadians just don’t like to think about taxes, viewing them as an equally unsavoury topic.

How else would you explain that, looking at the bigger picture, we are seemingly even more short-sighted: personal � nance and taxes are not subjects that are taught to any depth in our public education system. David Chilton lamented this fact in his 1989 best seller, The Wealthy Barber. More than 20 years later, the challenge still exists – for Canadians of every age.

f u n d a m e n t a l l y s p e a k i n g

Wayne Karl is an award-winning writer and editor with experience in real estate and

business. In Fundamentally Speaking, Wayne explores the basics – such as economic

fundamentals – you need to examine when buying property. He can be reached at

[email protected] or follow him on Twitt er at Twitt er.com/WayneKarl

CONSIDER, FOR EXAMPLE:» A recent CIBC poll conducted by

Harris/Decima shows that many Canadians across a wide range of ages say they do not feel � nancially prepared for their retirement.

» According to a new TD Retirement Realties Poll, too many Canadians procrastinate in saving for retirement; 15 per cent plan to save for retirement for only less than � ve years before leaving the workforce. More than two-thirds (69 per cent) of retirees say, in hindsight, they should have saved for retirement for 25 years or more

» A recent BMO study found that more than a third (40 per cent) of Canadians are unclear on the differences between an RRSP and a tax-free savings account.

» If, like many Canadians, you believe that you pay too much tax, then tax-planning, and thinking of ways to minimize tax, should be a year-round task.

SOME SUGGESTIONS, COURTESY OF A VARIETY OF SOURCES:Meet with a � nancial advisor to devise your strategy, including plans to buy a home, reduce debt and save for retirement.

Contribute to RRSPs regularly, even if smaller amounts throughout the year to avoid having to come up with a large lump sum at deadline time.

Manage and budget your spending, to better control where and how you spend and identify opportunities to save.

Remember that your � nances are connected. Making progress on one aspect of your goals can lead to an opportunity to improve in others.

Taxes are indeed certain, so planning to minimize what you pay, while maximizing your assets and developing the discipline to do both, is a sound strategy.

CHART FIGURE MORTGAGE AMOUNT÷ 1,000

INTEREST RATE MONTHLY PAYMENTAMORTIZATION PERIOD

CALCULATE YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS

01Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and

your spouse.

02Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to

make on your home.

03Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you

expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column

and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

05Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow. Divide by 1,000.

06Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly

property taxes.

07If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly

income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SEE IF YOU’LL QUALIFYFOR A MORTGAGE ON YOUR DREAM HOME

MORTGAGE PAYMENT CALCULATION CHART

This table shows the monthly payment of principal and interest for each $1,000 of mortgage. Example: The monthly principal and interest payment for a $300,000 mortgage with a 25-year amortization period at 5% is as follows: ($300,000 ÷ 1,000) X 5.82 = $1,746

The Drive. It’s a neighbourhood like no other. Boasting an eclectic vibe, a dis-tinctly artistic outlook, and some of the

most authentic Italian coffee shops in the Lower Mainland, The Drive is where history merges with modernist vision. It’s a place where you never quite know which favourite neighbour you’ll meet on your way to snag some fresh veggies or exotic cheeses at the local deli, but you do know the conversation will be lively and entertaining.

If this is the community you want to call home, 2013 is starting out with some news that’s going to get you jumping for joy. Sales at The Jeffs Residences are about to begin. And make no mistake, these townhomes and manor resi-dences have plenty of attitude and unique piz-zazz. Or, as Ryan Lalonde, principal of BLVD

Marketing Group, expresses it, they “take design and luxury to new levels in a highly creative neighbourhood — but you really have to see them for yourself to truly understand just how exceptional they are.”

UniqUe Homes for UniqUe LifestyLeFirst on our tour are the manor residences. Originally home to Vancouver alderman, Dr. Thomas Jeffs and his family, this elegant, 1907 manor house was shifted to the southwest corner of the property before being completely reinvented as six dramatic apartment homes plus a pièce de résistance penthouse. “One of the developers lives just a few blocks down the road, but all three wanted to create a design so unique that when someone says ‘I own the turret at The Jeffs Residences,’ everyone will know exactly which home you mean,” Ryan explains as we head to the fourth floor.

Apparently the gentleman who arrived just ahead of us is already smitten with this one-of-a-kind home. “I love this space. It just feels so… good,” he says making an intense, 360 survey of the two-storey living room. “And who knew you’d get such a great view of downtown.” Ryan

takes a moment to show him that yes, the heritage-style (but totally 21st Century, energy-efficient) windows really do open fully to let in refreshing spring and summer breezes. We leave him admiring today’s winter view of the snowcapped North Shore Mountains and head over to check out the townhomes.

“Townhome developments are extremely rare on The Drive,” Ryan says opening the door to the newly opened showhome. “The Jeffs Residences is even more unusual because it’s introducing a level of luxury that hasn’t been offered in this neighbourhood before.”

A marriage of tradition and modernism, this floor plan has an easy-going, open ambiance that’s enhanced by natural light flooding in though windows on both sides. “Because our partner’s are all extremely connected to this neighbourhood, they purposefully designed The Jeffs Residences to appeal to the people who love the unique lifestyle here,” Ryan says.

“It’s all about details,” he explains, pointing out the contemporary quartz counters and an eating bar create a visual counterpoint to the kitchen’s heritage-style, white Shaker cabinetry. Storage is everywhere: generous coat closet by the front door, full-height pantry wall, even a nook under the stairs for seasonal items. “Let’s face it, it doesn’t mat-ter whether you’re single, a couple, or a family, you can never have too much storage can you?” Ryan asks. True.

Next stop: second floor. Two bedrooms, laundry room with stor-age, linen closet, main bathroom with comfy looking soaker tub, tech nook on the landing, and a second set of stairs I’m betting will lead to a master suite spanning the entire top floor — a guess that Ryan’s delighted to confirm. This space continues The Jeffs Residences’ un-derlying theme of luxury with a frameless glass shower, vaulted ceiling, and thick, soft, easy-on-the-toes carpeting. Even the walk-in closet is special — filled with natural light from a window, it’s large enough to be a mini office. It all adds up to a welcoming retreat where daily stresses simply melt away.

AmAzing neigHboUrHood“People who’ve been following our progress are typically buyers who want to live in the neighbourhood because they love The Drive’s diverse commercial amenities and easy access to downtown Van-couver,” Ryan says. “Parents love it because their kids can benefit from being in the catchment area for some of the Eastside’s most sought after schools. Young professionals love it because they’re a short stroll to eateries, specialty boutiques, or cultural venues of all types. And if you’re a cyclist, you’re right in the centre of bike routes to get you almost anywhere.”

“And if you want a great brunch, you have to try the Havana Club.” It takes a second before I recognize the man from the Turret Suite who’s now donned helmet, sunglasses, and bicycle jersey. “Best Eggs Benny going — honest.” Then, in a flash, he’s gone. I check my watch and realize I’ve got just enough time to confirm his recommendation, after all, everyone’s got to eat sometime…
