First-time buyers dwindle

First-time homebuyers are disappearing from the Metro Vancouver housing market.

A new study by Ipsos-Reid shows that the massive numbers of first-time homebuyers who flooded the market in the first half of 2009 are dwindling.

Currently, about 29 per cent of homebuy-ers are first-time purchasers, down from 38 per cent in the first half of 2009.

Speedy recovery of housing prices, espe-cially in Metro Vancouver, is again pushing first-time buyers out of the market, rather than any decline in interest.

“Greater Vancouver in particular has seen a very rapid recovery in prices since the bottom of the market in the first quarter of 2009,” says Hanson Lok, senior research manager for Ipsos-Reid in Vancou-ver.

“While low mortgage rates have kept monthly payments within reach for first-time buyers and kept them in the market, escalating prices will push many first-time buyers back out.”

The study suggests that British Columbians feel the province is turning into a seller’s mar-ket, with 53 per cent of B.C. residents saying now is a good time to sell a home, up from 14 per cent during the same period a year ago.

Last week, RBC Economics reported that housing affordability in B.C. continued to decline in the fourth quarter of 2009, with the proportion of pre-tax income required to own a detached bungalow rising one per cent to 62.3 per cent; the proportion needed to own a standard townhouse rose 0.8 per cent to 48.9 per cent.

Prices in B.C. may climb higher, the RBC report notes, “as very strong demand and a limited supply of homes for sale combine to propel prices substantially higher.”

One of the great pleasures when purchas-ing a new home is making decisions about your kitchen.

What style should it be, how will the fam-ily use this space, is a special space needed for baking, what colour should the cabinets

be and what kind of material should the counters be are likely just some of the ques-tions homebuyers will ask.

It can seem more than a little overwhelm-ing but, for most of us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really think through every detail and get it right.

Items that were once considered extras, such as soft-close doors and drawers, are now standard issue from most manufactur-ers. It is a simple thing, but once you have experienced soft-close – especially if there

are teenagers in the household – there is no going back.

Cupboards and drawers have definitely evolved – manufacturers are now designing each and every nook and cranny. No longer is it necessary to buy the ugly plastic cutlery container; the silverware drawer is now designed specifically to your needs.

On many people’s New Year’s resolution list is a vow to clean out the kitchen junk

Kitchens: front and centre

drawer, but now, there are drawers with spac-ers so the rubber bands and glue sticks have their own little home. Doors that open with a gentle nudge of the hip make sense if your hands are full of garbage – like magic, the door opens and the garbage container slides out with the lid up. No more drips on the kitchen floor.

Creating a kitchen that will be used and enjoyed by each individual family is key, says Pacific Rim Cabinets vice-president and gen-eral manager Richard Kaufmann.

“There is no limit to the design and con-figuration of a new kitchen,” Kaufmann says.

“We work very closely with our clients from the time initial house plans come together to the final installation. It is very important we design a kitchen that is unique to each family and how they plan to use the space.”

Where kitchen appliances are concerned, some new trends are tak-ing shape.

“Serious home chefs are buying commer-cial style ranges because they want to have superior surface control on all burners,” says Matthew Hutchinson of Colony Warehouse in North Vancouver.

“Also, clients who can’t get a gas supply into their homes are taking a hard look at induc-tion cook tops. Induction tops give the per-formance of gas with a single surface to keep clean and they are safe because the element will not work unless a ferrous pot activates it by creating a magnetic field,” Hutchinson

notes. Panel-ready appliances are currently popular, as some people want to have their refrigerator, dishwasher and vent hood hidden underneath custom wood cabinetry.

By creating a piece of furniture, it minimiz-es the impact of the appliances visually in the kitchen space. It also cuts down on the stain-

less steel, which can be high-maintenance, in the kitchen area.

Noise is something to think about as well, says Hutchinson.

“Quiet dishwashers ... everyone wants to have the ‘silent’ dishwasher

and most are willing to pay a premium to get it,” he says.For those of us who have a nostalgic bent

and are fans of British television, the dream appliance is an Aga.

The first thing to consider if you are yearn-ing for one is, can your kitchen take the weight load? Made of cast iron with a patented burner system, the stove is always ready to cook; there are no delays waiting for the oven to pre-heat.

The Aga’s radiant cooking system is a gentle process that locks in the juices to preserve flavour, nutrients and texture. Buying an Aga

is not ‘one size fits all.’ Each unit is custom-built to the needs of the consumer, but once installed in your new kitchen, a new star chef is born.

With four individually controlled ovens (roasting, baking, simmering and warming) and three individually controlled hot plates (warming, boiling, simmering) there is no limit to the five-star meals for the family.

Another top-of-the-line cooking range is the Wolf Dual Fuel Range. This appliance gives you the best of both worlds with a gas cook top and a convection electric oven that allows you, with its two fans and four heating elements, to select from 10 cooking modes. Wolf also produces the Sub-Zero Pro 48 with a glass-door refrigerator/freezer. This dual refrigerator, with three evaporators and advanced controls, takes design in a bold new direction for home refrigeration.

“People are looking for high-efficiency equipment,” Hutchinson says. “They want E-STAR refrigeration, water preserving dishwashers and any other appliance that will reduce the consumer’s carbon footprint. Inter-estingly, clients are looking more and more at coloured appliances; they want a choice other than stainless.”

Scott Wong of Coast Appliances agrees.“Appliances not only have a sophisticated

look, style and function, but (they) are trend-ing towards energy efficiency,” Wong says.

One new colour that is gaining in popular-ity is oiled bronze; Jenn-Air features a new line of appliances in oiled bronze. Softer than stainless steel, this new colour is the new neu-tral and lends itself to a variety of decors, with a little more warmth.

Polygon Homes, a major developer of new homes in Metro Vancouver, understands the needs and the dreams of homeowners. Staying on top of new innovation in kitchen design and then incorporating this research into new Polygon projects is one of the keys to the com-pany’s success, and it shows in the kitchens that sparkle and shine in Polygon showhomes.

A neighbourhood you’ll love

If you have been considering a move to the Morgan Heights neighbourhood of South Surrey, now is the time to visit the Cathedral Grove executive-style town-house community built by Polygon.

The final phase of this exceptional proj-ect opened on March 20; homes are selling fast. And it is easy to see why.

Cathedral Grove is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Metro Vancouver; nature is literally on the doorstep.

Residents can easily explore the shore-line trails of Crescent Beach and White Rock Beach – both are close to Cathedral Grove – then perhaps, stop for a coffee or fish and chips in one of the many nearby cafés. There’s also the vast network of nature trails that span South Surrey to discover, and many locals spend time kaya-king on the local Nickomekl River.

Shopping is right across the street at Grandview Corners, a walkable shop-ping plaza that offers 700,000 square feet of mixed retail including ‘big-box’ stores such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Future Shop, London Drugs and The Brick. There is an urban village lifestyle component at Grandview Corners as well, which offers a wide range of upscale and casual shopping opportunities (stores include H&M, Le Chateau, Aldo, RW & Co., Indigo (books), Smart Set, The Children’s Place and Cupcakes, among others), from fashion to home furnishings, casual bistros to restaurants. A Steve Nash Sports Club

Polygon’s Cathedral Grove offers new, exec-utive-style townhomes to homebuyers. With oversized windows and open plans to lend a spacious feeling, the homes exude comfort and style. Gourmet kitchens are a foodie’s delight, while ensuites are intended to pam-per. Residents who live at Cathedral Grove also have full access to its massive amenities club-house, the Evergreen Club (bottom left).

‘The community is buzzing with activity’

and a newly opened Thrifty Foods are also part of the attraction at Grandview Corners.

Young families will be pleased that a new elementary school, planned for just outside Cathedral Grove’s door, will add to the excellent schools that are already located nearby, including Southridge private school.

Morgan Creek Golf Course is close as well. Selected in 2008 as the Golf Facil-ity of the Year by the PGA of B.C., the popular course is a designated official PGA tour site; living at Cathedral Grove can be a dream come true for the golf enthusiasts in the family.

Built in the English Arts & Craft architectural style, the townhomes come with modern twists, such as the open-plan interiors with four bedrooms, gourmet kitchens, large family rooms, main-floor powder rooms, private fenced yards and double-car garages. Each of the three floorplans work won-derfully for families and/or homeown-ers who enjoy entertaining friends and family.

All the appointments in these stun-ning homes are finished to the highest quality. The kitchens feature solid maple over-height wood cabinetry in two se-lect stain finishes, paired with stainless steel pulls.

The kitchen island, a perfect place for homework or chatting with friends while you prepare dinner, is granite-wrapped, and the quality continues with energy-efficient stainless steel appliances by Bosch.

The bathrooms in every unit continue the commitment to excellence. Ensuites offer a deep soaker tub and separate showers surrounded by natural stone inserts encased in handset ceramic tile.

The heart of the Cathedral Grove community is the private Evergreen Club, a spectacular 7,500 square foot clubhouse.

Residents can enjoy the fireside great room lounge, the theatre room, a fully equipped fitness studio, billiards and darts, and an outdoor pool and whirl-pool spa.

The Evergreen Club also has two furnished guest suites and a resident concierge for your convenience.

Polygon president and CEO Neil Chrystal is pleased with how Cathedral Grove homeowners have made the com-munity come to life.

“The community is buzzing with ac-tivity ... our visions of families enjoying the pool on hot summer days, the fitness studio alive at the crack of dawn with homeowners meeting for workouts before heading off to work, wine-tasting evenings and other such events – all these images have become reality,” Chrystal says.

“The homeowners at Cathedral Grove have made this a special place, one we at Polygon are all very proud to be a part of.”

Homes are priced from $489,900. Visit www.polyhomes.com for details.

New Delta homes offer more

Morningstar Homes’ South Pointe at Sun-stone homes feature an amenity that has not been seen in Delta homes for years, due to bylaws: basements. The single-family detached homes come with full, unfinished basements that homeowners can use or furnish however they wish. The execu-tive-style homes come with the style and qual-ity that is synonymous with Morningstar’s reputation, and fea-ture spacious rooms, oversized windows and ensuites designed to pamper.

Set in a peaceful neighbourhood lined with quiet, well-kept streets, a new community has just opened its doors to homebuyers.

Morningstar Homes’ latest project, South Pointe at Sunstone, is the company’s third collection of single-family homes in the North Delta neighbourhood, located on 82 Avenue off Modesto Drive.

And these brand-new homes boast a fea-ture that has not appeared in any new Delta home for years: they include full, unfinished basements.

Because of previous municipal bylaws, basements were prohibited.

After hearing from buyers in its previous Sunstone communities, Terella and North Pointe, Morningstar president Dale Barron says it became clear that basements are a key home feature that homebuyers want.

“In the case of South Pointe, the message was loud and clear – people are looking for sustainable and affordable homes that have the extra space implicitly offered by a base-ment,” Barron says.

“We are going to meet that demand with South Pointe and be the first to do so.”

Morningstar worked with the Corporation of Delta and the zoning was changed to allow the basements in South Pointe homes.

The new community will be 88 single-fam-ily homes in total. All residences offered in the first phase are three- and four-bedroom executive homes that range in size from 3,323 square feet to 3,598 feet and are available in five different floor plans.

South Pointe combines the traditional craftsmanship and quality that Morningstar has become known for. All were built with Morningstar’s Green Star program, which en-sures that homes are built using technologies, products and practices that improve energy efficiency, reduce pollution, improve indoor air quality, reduce maintenance and preserve natural resources.

Basements a plus at South Pointe

Live in a ‘gorgeous natural setting’

South Pointe houses are stylish and invit-ing, featuring oversized windows to allow natural light inside, spacious rooms for enter-taining, and spa-like ensuites.

The North Delta neighbourhood is central in Metro Vancouver, close to two major com-muter routes and just a short drive to both the ferry terminal and airport.

Surrounding the quiet community, which borders the Fraser River, are plenty of parks, endless trails and green space, including Watershed Park and one of the world’s largest peat bogs, Burns Bog. Schools and commu-nity amenities are all nearby, from the Sungod and North Delta recreation centres to local golf courses and the George Mackie Library.

Shops, a community centre and Sunstone’s village market, which includes a grocery store and a coffee shop, are all within close proxim-ity of the new neighburhood.

“To own at South Pointe is an opportunity for residents to experience the best the region has to offer and at an affordable price,” Barron says.

“The neighbourhood is centrally located in a gorgeous natural setting that’s difficult to find in the suburbs today.”

If the opening weekend launch is any indication, homebuyers will soon snap up all

available South Pointe homes.Potential homebuyers were lined up Satur-

day morning to get a glimpse of the new com-munity, and several hundred people toured the neighbourhood during the weekend.

Only 14 homes were released, and Morn-ingstar sold eight of those at the launch event.

“It went really well,” Barron says, noting that house hunters gave high praise to the homes, inside and out.

“We’re excited to be back in Delta.”South Pointe homes start in the high-$600s

range.Visit www.morningstarhomes.bc.ca for
