Looking to BUY or SELL a home? To assist you in making the best decisions, a professional Realtor can provide

the most up to date information on the real estate market, price, fi nancing

and comparative properties in your area.

What makes a city great? According to the

recently released Top British Columbia

Investment Towns report by The Real Estate

Investment Network (REIN), a city that is

experiencing strong economic growth ranks

the highest.

In its report, REIN analyzes the current and

future prospects for real estate investment

in the province over the next decade. For

the average consumer and homeowner, the

results of this report show that the values

and potential future values of their homes are

supported by strong economics, not specula-

tion, says Don Campbell, one of the report’s

authors, and senior analyst for the REIN.

“This should provide the homeowner/buyer

additional confi dence in their property pur-

chase,” he says.

Two cities that made the grade this year

are Chilliwack (8th) and Langley coming

in at number 10 on the list. “Chilliwack’s

lower property values compared to the Fraser

Valley and Lower Mainland have always

been appealing, but rents had not crept up

for properties to make sense here,” says

Campbell.

Langley has been on REIN’s list of “must

watch” cities, but this is the fi rst time it has

actually been acknowledged as a top invest-

ment city in British Columbia.

Besides Langley’s lower-than-average house

prices, REIN cites the completion of the new

Port Mann Bridge, the expansion of lanes on

the Trans-Canada Highway and the addition

of a RapidBus as reasons the city will have

a positive impact on its current and future

residents.

“Population ultimately drives real estate

demand, both rentals and homebuyers,” says

Campbell. “Without population growth you

have a dying or stagnating market that will

eventually underperform other regions in the

area and these shrinking regions may hold

‘discount’ deals, but will continue to shrink

and prices will continue to slide downward.”

Other towns that ranked high are Surrey,

Chilliwack, Maple Ridge and cities in

Northeast B.C.

In a rapidly changing world, no longer can

consumers buy and hope that their real estate

purchase will be sound.

“In these confusing and tumultuous times,

consumers must begin to think more stra-

tegically when making a big purchase such

as their home,” Campbell says. “This report

helps to cut through a lot of this confusion

for both investors and consumers about to

take the plunge into home ownership by

unveiling whether the area is a good place

to purchase.”

If the area is not strong economically, it often

makes more sense to rent if they really want

to live there, until the strength returns to

their particular market.

“People with money for a down payment may

consider using that money to buy an invest-

ment property in an economically strong mar-

ket, particularly with the low interest rates

we are experiencing, and have a renter pay

down their mortgage, while at the same time

renting where they want to live,” Campbell

says, adding Kitsilano is as an example of

where to rent, and then invest in the eco-

nomically strong Fort St. John and rent out

the property.

The report is available free of charge at

RECREATIONAL PROPERTY IN BC:BARGAINS & BOOMERS

Many boomers have fond youthful memo-

ries of idyllic summer vacations fi lled with

smores by the fi re, games of hide n’seek and

endless hours lying on the beach.

Today, it is those boomers who are reener-

gizing the demand for recreational properties

across much of the province.

“Everybody dreams of owning recreational

property and lots of boomers are getting on

the bandwagon and buying,” says Whistler

Real Estate Company’s realtor Patrick Kelly.

Recreational property is defi ned as a sec-

ond home; that cabin in the woods, that rural

retreat, the condo on a golf course, the cot-

tage on the lake or the beach house.

“Primarily, it’s a lifestyle decision rather

than money-making one,” says Kelly. “People

often buy to have it as a family legacy.”

In Whistler, recreational property also

encompasses time share condos and hotel

rooms.

After a dismal few years in the early

2000’s, when the market for recreational

property went fl at, Kelly says thankfully the

tides are shifting. There are many factors for

this: easy credit, faith that real estate will

keep its value and an economy that is doing

fairly well.

Sechelt is showing some improvement as

prices are 15 per cent lower than they were

fi ve years ago. Bill Binnie, owner/broker at

Royal LePage, admits sales have been slow in

the past year but the recent provincial elec-

tion seems to be buoying sales.

“The Sunshine Coast in particular with its

quaint communities with many amenities,

from Gibsons to Sechelt to Edgemont and

everywhere in between, is starting to sell,”

says Binnie.

Although much of the province’s vacation

hot spots are experiencing increased sales,

there are exceptions.

The Gulf Islands have seen its fair share of

ups and downs, says Janet Moore with Royal

LePage (Nanaimo Realty).

“The Gulf Islands certainly

have their challenges, one being the

commute … often, people have to take

two ferries to get to their vacation home,”

she says. “Our other challenge is that many

people went south of the border for recre-

ational properties because they are 50 per

cent less than here.”

The best deals right now are in Thetis,

Chemainus, Ladysmith and Yellow Point.

“A property on Thetis Island listed for more

than half a million and sold for $356,000,”

Moore adds. “A Ladysmith waterfront

assessed for $425,000 sold for $75,000 less

than its assessed value.”

In the recently published Landcor Report

by Landcor Data Corporation, which looks at

where people are buying, it states that “Of

the 89,103 recreational titles identifi ed by

Landcor, 87,025 or almost 98 per cent are reg-

istered to Canadian addresses: B.C. 80,060;

A l b e r t a

5 , 6 7 8 ;

Ontario 713;

with 574 scat-

tered in other prov-

inces. The foreign contin-

gent: USA 1,551; Germany

159; UK 103 with the other 265 titles world-

wide with Oman, China and a bunch of others

a mere one title apiece.”

To people sitting on the fence, debating

whether to spend their hard-earned money

on recreational property, the report states:

“Don’t wait and buy land, buy land and wait.”

VANCOUVER EAST

Polygon’s highly anticipated new collection of

homes at Lakeside, is now selling in the heart

of North Delta’s landmark master-planned com-

munity of Sunstone.

“People have been waiting ages for Lakeside,”

said Sales Manager Theresa Liljedahl. “With

their wider fl oor plans, these homes look like

single-family dwellings rather than townhous-

es. Master bedrooms on the main fl oor allow

for one-level living, with less stairs and more

usable space. While previous Sunstone com-

munities have appealed to fi rst-time homebuy-

ers with young children, Lakeside is attracting

empty nesters who are ready to downsize their

living area but not their quality of living.”

Attention to detail can be seen in every aspect

of Lakeside from its strong fi rst impression

and the curb appeal of its Seaside architecture

to its modern interiors with wide open-plan

layouts featuring over 2,000 square feet of

living space. Select Lakeside homes also boast

dramatic vaulted ceilings. Gourmet kitchens

feature stone countertops and fully integrated

stainless steel appliances while the elegant

master ensuites off er oversized soaker tubs,

separate showers, and dual under-mount sinks.

“The Lakeside community backs onto Sunstone

Lake; it is the premium location within

Sunstone,” added Liljedahl. “Every home has

a large private patio or backyard, many with

views of the lake, so there is lots of outdoor

living space. The lake itself is surrounded by

parkland and homeowners will enjoy instant

access to nature along the walking trails.”

Residents will also enjoy exclusive access

to the Sunstone Club, featuring over 12,000

square feet of resort-style amenities includ-

ing an outdoor pool and hot tub, a fi replace

and lounge area, an exercise room, a private

party room, and two guest suites available

only to Sunstone residents. It’s your own place

to relax, exercise, and spend time with family

and friends.

As a Polygon community, you know Lakeside

townhomes will be built to the highest stan-

dards. Polygon is among the most well-estab-

lished and highly respected home builders in

the province and has built over 21,000 homes

in the Lower Mainland.

Three bedrooms start in the low $600’s and are

proving popular with todays homeowners. Stop

by and tour the two show homes open noon to

6 p.m. daily (except Fridays) at 10500 Delsom

Avenue in North Delta and fi nd the Lakeside

home that’s right for you.
