Smaller households, smaller homes

Happy Holidays!

Canadian households are shrinking

according to Statistics Canada data.

Seven decades ago, the average

household consisted of 4.3 people; by

2011, the average size had dropped

to 2.5 people per household, albeit,

there’s plenty more of us to house.

While the majority of Canadian

homes over the last century were built

to support larger families comprised of

two parents with children, nowadays

one or two people make up the

majority of households, which is why

apartment and condominium living

— in urban areas in particular — have

become increasingly popular.

The impact of smaller families on

the Canadian housing market has been

signifi cant, spurring a dramatic change

in the types of homes and apartments

being constructed.

The introduction of urban

townhomes, bachelor apartments,

studio lofts and condominiums of

all shapes and sizes is e� ectively

servicing smaller families and

singles who need homes and nearby

amenities. While larger homes are

still a need for some, the next time

you see another crane in the air

keep this new demographic dynamic

in mind.

What are your resolutions for 2016?

Here at YP NextHome, ours is to be

an even better resource for all your

real estate needs. To this end, we’re

working hard to streamline and

enhance our magazines and make

your web experience even better.

To accomplish this, we’re going to

be amalgamating New Condo

Guide and New Home Guide into

one comprehensive volume, fi lled

with all the new construction

homes and neighbourhoods you

want to know about.

Is a new home on your list this

holiday? What better hint to Santa than

leaving a few YP NextHome magazines

by the fi replace? Don’t have a fi replace?

Maybe by this time next year you can

have one in your happy new home.

We’re here to help, and welcome

your feedback, so drop us a line and

let us know how we’re doing.

Happy holidays!

SOUTH SURREY/WHITE ROCK

Property Profile | THE HAMPTONS

IT’S NO SECRET. I love surprises. So arriving at The

Hamptons in South Surrey immediately captures

my attention. Located just two minutes from the

shopping mecca of Grandview Heights — yes, I timed

the drive on my way over — there’s an unanticipated

sense of being surrounded by country. The air smells

fresh, and today a light wind is whispering through

the many stately, mature trees.

From the street, The Hamptons has an old world

charm I find irresistible — brick accents, picket

fences, and gabled rooflines. A teenager, balanced

expertly on a skateboard, waves at young mom

busy decorating her front porch for the holidays as

he zips past. No question this is one very family-

oriented community too.

Homes to Match Your LifestyleBrought to you by Essence Properties and

Legendary Developments, The Hamptons is

comprised of two distinct home types — Essence, a

collection of townhomes, and Elevate, 40 freehold

duplexes that offer a cost-effective alternative to

single-family residences.

“Legendary Developments has a long

history of excellence building homes

throughout Surrey and Langley,” explains

Seeta Dhaliwal, partner in Essence

Properties. “So when we decided to

create a new sister company, Essence

Properties, it meant future homebuyers

will get the benefit of all same expertise

and knowledge, just with a focus on

multi-family design.”

Clearly the Essence townhomes fit

the bill. “You get all the sophisticated

finishings today’s homeowners insist on

— crown moulding, hardwood laminate

flooring throughout the main living

levels, stainless steel appliances, and

finished basement,” Seeta says. “Plus you

have access to the Beach House, our

community amenity building that features

an entertainment lounge, a screening

room where you can watch the latest

blockbuster with your friends, a fitness

room and yoga studio to help you keep in

shape, even a community garden.”

Across the street, the Elevate duplexes

are wowing a diverse array of buyers

from downsizers to upsizers taking the

next step on the property ownership

ladder. “People tell us they like knowing

they own the land and don’t have to deal

with a strata council,” Seeta says. “And

since there are windows on three sides,

it feel extra light and bright — just like a

single-family home but with out paying

the high price.”

Building Better HomesEssence Properties will also continue

the Legendary Developments mandate

to continually search for ways to

improve the homes they build. “We

build every home as if we were going

to live in it ourselves,” Seeta notes. “We

look for ways to improve on the things

past buyers tell us they love about their

home and what we can do better in the

next ones.”

The development team also came up

with an innovative way to encourage

kids of all ages who live at Essence to

get outside and play. Space that could

have been used for two additional

units became, instead, a half basketball

court — a great alternative to a pool

that’s typically expensive to maintain

and often doesn’t get used all that

much. “Basketball, on the other hand,

is a social sport as well that engages all

generations and gets people interacting

with their neighbours,” Seeta says

adding it’s not uncommon for lifelong

friendships to start with a spontaneous

game of 21.

Experience For YourselfThe Hampton’s presentation centre and

display homes are open noon to 5 p.m.

daily except Fridays at 23rd Avenue

and 164th Street in sunny South Surrey.

Elevate’s remaining duplexes are priced

from $779,800: remaining Essence

townhomes from $448,800. For more

payments it can lead to even more serious consequences

such as foreclosure.

» In order to ensure that you stay on time with your mortgage

it is a good idea that you keep at least three months’ worth

of mortgage payments in savings account for emergency

situations.

» If you are having trouble making your payments or know you

will be late for an upcoming payment, talk to your Mortgage

Expert or contact your lender directly.

» To ensure your fi nancial peace of mind, you should also

prepare a detailed monthly budget and stick to it. If you

haven’t already created a budget, use CMHC’s Household

Besides your mortgage, property taxes and insurance,

owning a home comes with many other ongoing costs.

» These range from maintenance and repair costs to expenses

such as landscaping fees, utilities and strata fees. Be sure

you include all the costs of homeownership in your monthly

budget.

» Take a few minutes each month to review your budget,

check your spending and see if you are meeting your

fi nancial goals. If you are having trouble sticking to your

budget, talk to a Financial Advisor for help.

» No matter how far you look ahead, unexpected costs can

arise at any time. Try to set aside a percentage of your take-

home pay in an emergency account to help you deal with

any unexpected problems, major repairs, illness or job loss.

» To keep your home safe and sound year round, prepare

and follow a regular schedule of monthly maintenance and

a stop to many of the most common and costly problems

most homeowners encounter, before they can occur.

» As a family, you should also get to know your home’s basic

components and how to adjust or turn these systems o�

in case of an emergency. Create a fi re evacuation plan,

maintain your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detectors

and always keep a list of emergency numbers (such as 911,

the poison prevention line, your doctor, neighbours and

relatives) close to the phone.

IT’S BEEN A HOT, hot year for the Metro Vancouver real estate

market. As 2015 draws to a close, sales volume and prices

are both up compared to 2014, bidding wars and launch day

line-ups are reappearing with escalating frequency, and many

developers are scrambling to keep up with demand.

“By the end of the year, overall sales will likely be more than

15,000 and could very well exceed 16,000 — which will be a

new benchmark,” says Scott Brown, president of Fifth Avenue

Real Estate Marketing Ltd.

“The market is finally moving past the hangover from the

2008/09 economic downturn and getting back to solid

fundamentals,” says Diane Delves, president and CEO of

Quantum Properties. “People are seeing real estate as a

solid investment again, projects that have been shelved —

sometimes for years — are underway, and there’s a lot of

optimism going forward.”

Tracie McTavish, president of Rennie Marketing Systems,

agrees, noting that signs of this positive change actually began

appearing toward the end of 2014. “Typically we shut down our

presentation centres over the holidays, but last December there

was so much demand we kept them open over Christmas and

the New Year. We ended up selling 49 homes during a period

when we normally go dark.”

Spotlight on LifestyleLike many other industry watchers, McTavish says he’s seen

the trend for homebuyers to consider the complete package

of product and lifestyle — rather than focusing exclusively on

location — steadily gaining traction during 2015. “Geographic

distinctions are being rubbed out. Today’s buyers are far more

likely to say ‘I want a two-bedroom at a certain price, where

can I buy one?’ rather than saying they want a home in a

particular neighbourhood.”

Greg Zayadi, vice president of sales and marketing at Anthem

Properties, agrees. “When they find the right product at the

right price, people will move, even if it means commuting.”

In West Coquitlam, Black+Whites by Intracorp drew architectural inspiration from the pizzazz of 1930s New York.

Year in ReviewA banner year for real estate

However, he stresses it’s a mistake to assume the

‘right’ product — the type of home everyone aspires

to — is automatically a single-family, detached

house with a white picket fence.

“Increasingly, buyers are making a choice to

purchase townhomes and condos… even if they

have a million dollars in the bank. Many consumers

don’t want the big house — younger buyers often

don’t even want a car. And that’s perfectly fine,

because a well-designed 600 or 700 or 800 square

feet can be extremely comfortable, give them all the

space they need, and be close to the urban centres

where they want to live. Think about it, do they have

this discussion about single-family living in Europe

or New York?”

Remembering 2015And for all you folks who love detail, here are some

of the specifics.

According to research from Urban Analytics, at

the end of the third quarter (Q3) overall sales were

up 20 per cent over 2014 with a large number taking

place in sub-markets. Not surprisingly, one negative

result of this increased activity is that available

supply of all product types is down — at the end

of Q3 only 721 townhome units were available for

purchase which translates to 2.64 months of supply.

The condo sector fared a bit better with a 4.1 month

supply of concrete condo and 4.6 months of wood

frame supply available.

Speaking to a sell-out audience at the Urban

Development Institute, Urban Analytic’s managing

principal Michael Ferreira offered some additional

insights and highlights of townhouse hot spots

from 2015.

In North Vancouver, a market that’s seen virtually

no townhouse development for many years, two

recently released projects — Maplewood Place

and Seymour Village — chalked up 30 sales in two

weeks, and 28 in the first week respectively, leaving

no doubt there is still plenty of pent-up demand for

townhome product.

Hits in the Tri-Cities market included Fremont

Village by MOSAIC Homes (116 units in the past year

and more than 300 units since launching in spring

2013) and Intracorp’s Black+Whites that wowed

buyers with its 1930s New York style and colourful

front doors.

Ferreira gave top marks to Village Green as this

year’s best selling Maple Ridge project, citing its

two-storey design as the primary differentiator.

And in Langley, Exchange’s sharp pricing and

rooftop decks, details that proved particularly

attractive to entry-level and restart buyers, resulted

in 98 sales in just six months.

Be sure to join us next issue when we take a look

at what industry insiders are predicting for 2016.

Neighbourhood Focus | FLEETWOOD

A THOUSAND PEOPLE move to Surrey

every month, and many of them

fi nd a home in the neighbourhood

of Fleetwood. The area’s northern

boundary follows 96 Avenue from 148

Street to 164 Street. Its eastern boundary

is a stepped edge following 164 Street

south from 96 Street to 90 Avenue and

then cutting east along a greenbelt

joining with 88 Avenue; the boundary

then continues east on 88 Avenue until

168 Street, then follows 168 south to 80

Avenue where it turns east and continues

to 172 Street and fi nally continues south

along 172 until 76 Avenue. On the south

side, the boundary follows 76 Avenue

from 172 Street to 152, then heads

north up to 80 Avenue, then west along

80 Avenue to 144 Street. The western

edge is bounded by 144 Street from 80

Avenue 92 Avenue where it turns east till

148 Street, then continues north along

148 to 96 Avenue.

Lifestyle New and old mix in the Fleetwood

neighbourhood in east-central Surrey.

With its large lots, the area is slowly

being revitalized with newer larger

houses replacing the housing stock built

largely in the ’60s and ’70s. Families can

In the Area – key amenities Major sports and recreation facilities

have been constructed throughout

Fleetwood and its many amenities are

a draw for residents from all parts of

Surrey. Surrey schools have a good

reputation, and the city has also invested

heavily in preserving green spaces either

as natural greenbelts or as parks.

Dollars & Sense The Fleetwood area isn’t a high-end

neighbourhood; rather, its shops and

services cater to middle-class families

with middle-income budgets. But that

doesn’t mean there aren’t good grocery

stores, like Fresh St. Market, located

at Fleetwood Park Village, with its deli

counter and specialty foods, as well as

retail chain stores as well as mom-and-

pop shops.

Planes, Trains & AutomobilesFleetwood residents will fi nd tra� c

somewhat of a hassle, especially if their

daily commute is heading downtown.

But the neighbourhood is fairly close to

both Highway One and the new South

Perimeter Road. The Fraser Highway

bisects Fleetwood, taking residents east

to Langley or west to central Surrey.

Bus service isn’t optimal, but the City

of Surrey’s long-term plan is to have

light rapid transit connecting Fleetwood

westward to the SkyTrain grid in central

Surrey and eastward to Langley City.

The Good, the Bad & the Rest It’s taking a while for Fleetwood to

modernize and some neighbourhoods

still have rundown homes and vestiges of

neglect. But as the City of Surrey pushes

forward with its planning, focusing on

development and density in town sites

like Fleetwood, the area is slowly getting

a more 21st century feel to it.

still fi nd a house with a yard at a relatively

reasonable price in Fleetwood, but the

city has also started densifying the town

centre area and townhomes and condos

have been built close to the commercial

hub at Fleetwood Park Village.

The Vibe Fleetwood residents love their quiet

neighbourhood—far from the crime that

City of Surrey is sometimes known for.

While the area is primarily residential, there

are services and amenities so Fleetwood

residents can spend their leisure hours

close to home. City sta� take pride in

the area’s many parks and their beautiful

gardens are a testament to their hard work.

Meet the Neighbours Surrey is a multicultural city and

Fleetwood is also a destination point

for many new Canadians. About 20 per

cent of the residents of Surrey speak

Punjabi as their fi rst language, but also

immigrants from the Philippines, China

and other parts of the world are making

Fleetwood their home. According

to 2010 Statistics Canada numbers,

incomes in Fleetwood, at about $50,000

per annum, are slightly below average

incomes in Surrey.

AS DALE AND EDWIN were signing the

sale contract for their two-bedroom and

den townhome at Brooklyn Village, they

looked out the presentation centre’s

window and could see the foundations

of their new home being poured. It

would be another four months before

they could move in, but after searching

for over a year, they had no hesitation

about the wait.

“We saw a lot of places, and we just

kept coming back to this one,” Dale

says. “It’s a quiet location, the price was

what we were looking for, and we really

liked the openness of the layout. Plus

we’ve got two large bedrooms, a

garage for Edwin’s car, and a den on

the lower level.”

Dale gives a good natured shrug as

he confesses that initially he felt a bit

hesitant about having the kitchen in the

middle of the main fl oor. Now, though,

he’s a convert. “It works really well when

it’s just the two of us, and it’s great for

entertaining.”

Sealing the deal was being able to

purchase a sunny, end unit. “We didn’t

actually realize how dark our condo

was until we moved here. Now we have

windows on three sides, so it’s always

bright inside.”

Buying during preconstruction, the

couple were also able to choose their

colour scheme and add a few tweaks

to the fi nishing details. “Anne, the sales

manger, was so accommodating,”

Dale says. “Mostly it was small things.

For instance, the center island had an

electrical outlet on one end, but we

wanted one on both ends. She made

it happen.”

Advice | BUYER PROFILE

Dale and Edwin at Brooklyn VillageWorth the Wait

by Susan M Boyce

On July 1st, one of the hottest days of the summer, the

moving van arrived at the front door and Dale and Edwin fi nally

arrived at their new home. In September, they truly put their

kitchen to a test of functionality when they hosted a catered

party for 40 friends and family. It was a gala celebration with

some happy extras.

“I have a clergy friend who did a house blessing for us,” Dale

says, then smiles. “Edwin and I have been together for 20 years,

so at the end we got married too. It was a wonderful day.”
