How to Turn Your Home into an Investment

COQUITLAM PORT COQUITLAM PORT MOODY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2014info@rew.ca • 604-435-7977

From the North Shore to White Rock to

UBC to Chilliwack, fi rst-time buyers con-

tinue to make inroads into the Lower

Mainland’s booming real estate market.

Spurred on by continued low interest

rates and often taking advantage of a

helping parental hand, these purchasers

are smart and committed.

Here we take a look at the top fi ve trends

among this savvy, growing demographic.

Transit OrientationEnvironmentally sophisticated, fi rst-time

buyers increasingly embrace a lifestyle

that’s less reliant on private vehicles,

meaning proximity to transit is a major

factor in where they purchase. Transit-

friendly neighbourhoods like the

Cambie Corridor, Metrotown,

Brentwood and the new

downtown Surrey are the

new superstars for this

demographic.

Many fi rst time

buyers are simply saying “no” to owning

a vehicle at all – they’ll put that extra

money toward a down payment or paying

off their mortgage faster. According to

data compiled by ICBC, some are taking it

one step further and not even bothering to

get a driver’s license.

Space and AmenitiesTo make the move from renting, many

fi rst-timers are willing sacrifi ce size as

long as the space functions well. Savvy

developers are responding with increas-

ingly innovative ways to make smaller

units multi-purpose – islands that expand

to become a dining table, sliding walls

that allow interior rooms to be separated

or combined, offi ce

nooks, and so on.

Urban amenities

are also essen-

tial to this demographic since they tend

to view them as an extension of their liv-

ing room. Many will forsake entertaining

at home altogether, preferring instead to

meet friends at the local coff ee shop or

restaurant. Bonus: no dishes to clean up

after.

Migration to the ’BurbsWhether it’s the ability to own a larger

home or simply a desire to pay less than

a comparable home in the city, moving to

the suburbs is one enticing alternative to

existing urban centres. For many, the pri-

mary motivator is being able to purchase

a bigger home with a yard. Others want

a quieter, more rural neighbourhood. Of

note are the outlying areas where, once

a critical mass of new homes is achieved,

new amenities and jobs follow. Prime

examples of this are Yorkson in Langley

and Morgan Heights in South Surrey.

The Bank of Mom and DadThe Bank of Mom and Dad (BMD) is rap-

idly becoming a fi nancial necessity for

most fi rst-time buyers. In fact, according

to a Bank of Montreal survey, about 40

per cent of fi rst-time buyers in Metro

Vancouver expect some fi nancial

assistance from parents.

“Without the help of my fi ancé’s dad, we

wouldn’t have been able to purchase a

home,” says one 26-year-old fi rst-time

home buyer, adding that their mortgage

payments will be only $300 more than

their current rent.

Anecdotal evidence also suggests many

BMDs are also allowing adult children to

remain at home longer with minimal or no

rent payments, so they can save their own

down payment.

Cyber SavvyOnline research continues gaining

momentum especially with younger fi rst-

time buyers. According to Shaadi Faris,

vice-president of Intergulf, “The extensive

online research conducted by homebuyers

is highly evident. Buyers are coming to us

with knowledge of how the purchase pro-

cess works, know what specifi c features

and dimensions they are looking for, and

have fi rm fi gures in mind.”

Social media, too, is changing how buyers

shop. Many sales representatives report

buyers coming into a presentation centre,

liking what they see, and within minutes

connecting with friends or partners for

their input.

Looking for a newhome? Start here.

I n P r i n t > O n l i n e > I t ’ s A l l H e r e

Facing retirement and a 40+ year old

home in need of repairs, Michael and Myrna

Chen had to decide between renovating or

buying a new home.

“Our house needs a lot of renovating and

the lot is too much work for my husband,”

says Myrna of their home in Steveston.

“We had seen Zenterra’s Zen Townhomes

and really loved them. When we found

out about Hyde Park, we bought one sight

unseen.”

Other considerations for the couple

included price and location.

“We really like the location and we are

getting much more value for our dollar in

South Surrey. In addition, it’s so close to

everything and yet there are lots of trees

and green space so that you don’t feel like

you are in a big row of homes,” she says,

adding she can’t wait to live in a brand

new home.

Hyde Park is a master-planned town-

home community sitting on over 10 acres,

located minutes from Morgan Crossing.

“Three acres will remain as green space.

The fi rst phase consists of 58 homes which

we are pre-selling,” says Donna Dalkie,

Sales Manager, Zenterra Developments.

“These are beautiful transitional Arts and

Crafts designed homes, with brick and

cedar shake accents, featuring an eclectic

colour palette which has never been seen

in the area.”

The West Coast contemporary residenc-

es, ranging from 1200 to 3000 square feet,

off er a selection of two to fi ve bedroom

(some with a master on the main and built-

in wet bar in the basement) homes.

The extra-spacious interiors are dis-
