Life events get you moving
Good versus bad debt
The decision to move is often
triggered by a life event, such as a new
job or a new addition to the family, or
simply because you want a change of
scenery.
Whatever the reason, it’s important
to address what your new needs are
before you start hunting for a new
place – rather than during. With all of
the information available to you these
days, it’s easy to get distracted.
To keep you on track and up to date
on the latest listings available across
Canada, check out this issue and our
website, YPNextHome.ca. Not only will
you fi nd an easy way to connect with
prospective properties, you’ll be able
to dig deep on details such as such as
costs, neighbourhood information and
much more.
Deciding to move is easy, it’s fi nding
the right place that can sometimes be
tough. Let us help.
Drop us a line and let us know if you
have any questions or comments.
We’d love hearing from you.
One thing I’ve learned since starting in
real estate publishing is the di� erence
between what fi nancial planners call
“good debt” and “bad debt”. Good debt,
like a mortage, is debt you owe on an
appreciating or income-producing asset,
such as your home, investment property,
or business. Consumer debt, on the
other hand, is considered bad, as you’re
paying o� something that’s depreciating
in value, such as a television, computer
or car.
No one is saying we shouldn’t purchase
those things, just that we should
purchase them with disposable income
and not credit when at all possible.
One thing that is saving people a
considerable amount of consumer debt
is getting rid of their car, or going from
two cars to one, and developers are
helping to make this a very easy lifestyle
transition by building great buildings
at transit hubs. When you take transit
to work, you save money on a car, and
never have to deal with the hassle and
expense of parking.
What would you do with all the money
you could save each month? It could all
add up to a vacation, a new television or
even a bigger home.

FINAL
PHASE
Property Profile | SHANNON WALL CENTRE KERRISDALE
IT’S BEEN DESCRIBED MANY WAYS:
unique, exquisite, enchanting. But one
sentiment shines through: homebuyers
have fallen in love with Shannon Wall
Centre Kerrisdale.
Once the Wall family residence,
this 10-acre estate in Vancouver’s
prestigious Westside has undergone a
transformation — a re-imagining that
honours the property’s heritage while
bringing a fresh, engaging contemporary
aesthetic. And now is your last
opportunity to be part of this new history
in the making. Introducing Beverly
House and Wilshire House, the two final
midrise buildings at Shannon Wall Centre
Kerrisdale, and coming soon, the long-
awaited Peter Wall Mansion.
One of a Kind HomesSituated on the top, southwestern edge
of the estate at Adera Street and 57th
Avenue, Beverly House and Wilshire
House will offer all the exceptional
finishing details that have defined every
home at Shannon Wall Centre Kerrisdale.
Gourmet kitchens with magnificent
composite stone countertops, your
choice of lacquer or oak cabinetry,
and top-of-the-line appliances from
Gaggenau, Liebherr and Bosch are
meticulously designed to become the
social and entertaining heart of each
home. Ensuites are opulent with marble,
chrome fixtures, and an elegantly
tranquil minimalism. And there’s space
— lots of space for the things that
matter most in life like friends, family
and simply enjoying the delights of a
quiet evening at home.
One of a Kind LifestyleStill, for many of the homeowners
who already call Shannon Wall Centre
Kerrisdale home, it’s the resort-
cover story
Shannon Wall Centre KerrisdaleNew History in the Making
Year-round heated lap pool at the Peter Wall Mansion
20 YPNEXTHOME.CA
style amenities that truly differentiate this
community — amenities you simply won’t
find everyday.
Think far, far beyond a fitness centre and
extensive landscaping. Shannon Wall Centre
Kerrisdale recreates the symmetric grandeur
of a formal English garden with manicured
boxwood hedges and lawns. There’s a four-
season, outdoor lap pool, and garden plots for
growing fresh herbs and flowers. And oh by
the way, there is also a fully equipped, state-
of-the-art fitness facility — just in case you
had the slightest, lingering doubt.
Close to What CountsNeed a final enticement? Okay, let’s talk
convenience to… well to everything. For
families, some of the province’s top ranked
schools are just minutes away — York House,
St. George’s, the International Baccalaureate
Sir Winston Churchill Secondary and, of
course, UBC. Four golf courses are less than
three kilometres away, the cultural diversity of
Vancouver’s downtown entertainment district
is close at hand, and when you’re ready for a
quick getaway to sun or snow, YVR is a short
10-minute cab ride away.
You could say, Shannon Wall Centre
Kerrisdale is the best of all worlds. Or you
could just say it’s home.
The Shannon Wall Centre Kerrisdale’s
neighbourhood presentation centre is
open noon to 5 p.m. daily at 2126 West 41st
Avenue in the heart of Kerrisdale Village. Main
presentation centre reopens April 2nd. For
more information visit ShannonWallCentre.

Neighbourhood Profile | KERRISDALE
KERRISDALE MAY BE PART OF
VANCOUVER but it feels like a charming
village. Kerrisdale features a shopping
district running generally along West 41st
Avenue between Larch and Maple Streets
and West Boulevard between 37th and
47th Avenues. Although the city officially
defines Kerrisdale as being south of
41st, the majority of the area’s residents
consider Kerrisdale’s boundaries to be
West 33rd Ave to the north, the Railway
right of way to the east, West 57th Street
to the south, and Blenheim Street to
the west. Kerrisdale has a well-heeled
ambiance, but a great selection of
independent shops and a great selection
of places to buy cool clothes and meet
with friends for afternoon coffee.
The Vibe:
The village has an eclectic mix of small
businesses, independent retail and
casual restaurants. The pace of life here
is relaxed and congenial, and the streets
are lined with luxury sedans and SUVs as
opposed to motorcycles or minivans.
Meet the Neighbours:
Expect to see a lot of cashmere, plaid and
tweed on these people. Many residents
are older in terms of age and definitely
skew into affluent, conservative territory.
Kerrisdale’s population is about equal
parts Asian Canadians and Caucasian
Canadians with the Asian population
making up more of the younger
families and the grannies being mostly
Caucasians. While there are a good
number of families populating the two
high schools and various elementary
schools, there are a high proportion of
retirees compared to the rest of the city.
In the area:
There are many parks in the Kerrisdale
area, the closest being Kerrisdale
Centennial Park, site of the Kerrisdale
Community and Seniors Centre at 42nd
Avenue and West Boulevard. Elm Park at
West 41st and Larch Street (and home
to Kerrisdale Little League); and Maple
Grove Park at Marine Drive, Yew Street
and West 51st Avenue.
Recreational facilities in the
neighbourhood include the Kerrisdale
Skating Arena, Kerrisdale Community
Centre and indoor pool and the
Kerrisdale Lawn Bowling Club located
at Elm Park. Other community facilities
include the Kerrisdale Branch of the
Vancouver Public Library at West 42nd
Avenue and West Boulevard and the
West-Main Health Unit at West 43rd
Avenue and West Boulevard.
The two public high schools are
Magee Secondary and Point Grey
Secondary, and for private schools
there are Crofton House (girls) and St.
George’s and Vancouver College (boys).

Quick Facts
Planes, Trains & Automobiles:
Very convienient to the airport and well
served by public transit, Kerrisdale is
about a 15 minute drive to downtown.
It is extremely walkable and is divided
by the unused CPR train tracks which
provide a walking path through
town. Busses run up Arbutus Street
(which turns into East Boulevard)
from downtown at close intervals and
across the city from Burnaby and East
Vancouver and through to UBC along
41st and 49th Avenues.
The Good, The Bad and The Rest:
» The good: This is a beautiful and very
friendly little village, very close to the
city centre but also close to UBC. The
streets are safe and green and everything
you need from London Drugs to sushi
is right at your doorstep. If you love
meeting your friends for tea, shopping
for houndstooth accessories and looking
at gardens, this is the place for you.
» The bad: It’s expensive, like much of
the West Side of the city, and if you’re
young and on the lookout for nightlife,
you are completely out of luck. Also
there is a lack of a good grocery store in
the village if you don’t have a car.
» If you enjoy peace and quiet you’ll
like it here. If you like to be in the middle
of the action you might want to look
elsewhere.
Dollars & Sense:
» Expensive. Kerrisdale is generally
upscale, but there are lots of sweet
older apartment buildings that are on
the reasonable side to rent. Some have
been turned into co-op buildings and
condos that are affordable to buy, but
many of these are getting bought out by
developers to build much bigger, more
expensive units in the near future.
The friendly community has a mix of elegant homes, nice, newer townhomes and many rental mid-rise apartment buildings built in the 60’s and 70s surrounded by lush gardens and pools. Tree-lined streets give the area an air of respectability and serenity. Recently, many condo buildings have started to replace some of the older apartment building from the 30s and 40s that line East and West Boulevards.
Rental Market: Kerrisdale has a large amount of rental apartment buildings, dating from the 1950s and 1960s offering large, luxurious suites. Many of the buildings have outdoor pools and extensive grounds. Rents are actually pretty
reasonable for the size of the suites, which were built for the luxury market many years ago. There are also smaller suites in older buildings along East and West Boulevards.
Lifestyle overview: Senior-Friendly and Genteel,Kerrisdale is a bustling village with lots of street activity, quite a few community street festivals and a lot of older folks. The tree-lined streets and wealth of independent shops and restaurants attract people from all over the city to shop and stroll. The pace of life here is relaxed and civilized and there are plenty of community resources for everyone from
kids to seniors. It’s not the most exciting neighbourhood in the city, but it sure is one of the most pleasant.
Et. Cetera: In 1905, British Columbia Electric Railway manager, R.H. Sterling asked Mrs. William McKinnon, a young Scottish woman who had recently settled in the area, to name the interurban stop at Wilson Road (today’s West 41st Avenue). She selected “Kerry’s Dale” after the name of her family home (Kerrydale) in Garlock, Scotland. Kerrydale means “little seat of the fairies”. It was soon changed to “Kerrisdale” as we know it today.

WHO’S READY FOR SOME MARCH
MADNESS, CANADIAN REAL ESTATE
EDITION?
It’s mid March, and spring begins
this weekend — signalling what is
traditionally the busy season in
real estate.
The madness in Canadian real estate hit a new peak this week when the
Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released its stats for February —
noting that the national average price exceeded $500,000 for the first time. In
February, the average price jumped 16.4 per cent year-over-year to $503,057.
So, in the spirit of the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament,
YPNextHome put together our own bracket of championship housing markets
across Canada.

We paired the top proximate markets across the country, using official
CREA average price growth as the deciding factor. We chose a four-year
window, from 2012 to end of 2015, to provide longer-term, bigger picture
context of market performance.
It’s East versus West, as city market takes on city market to determine the
eventual Canadian slam-dunk champion.
Spoiler alert: it’s not Toronto or Vancouver.
WHY DID WE USE A FOUR-YEAR WINDOW?
Because we thought it would provide a more accurate picture of a real
estate market over the long term. There’s no secret, for example, that areas
such as Calgary and Edmonton are getting hammered due to the prolonged
slump in oil prices.
In Calgary, for example, home prices declined by 3.5 per cent in
February on a year-over-year basis. Ouch. But looking at it over the last

four years, the average price has actually risen 10
per cent. Not bad, eh?
REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL
Forget that CREA says the national average price
exceeded $500,000 — climbing to $503,057 – for
the fi rst time. Sure, it makes for interesting headlines
and provides some context on a national basis.
But as Toronto-based mortgage expert Calum
Ross says: “Saying there is a Canadian housing
market is no less ridiculous than saying there is
‘Canadian temperature.’”
Or that traffi c at one end of the country is the
same at the other.
“Canada represents one of single largest countries
in the world and going from coast to coast, Canada
is home to a very diverse group of people with local
economics that are vastly diff erent,” he says.
Real estate is local, not national. You don’t
buy the Canadian market, or even a provincial or
regional one. You buy one home in one location.
If you’re buying a home in Chilliwack, BC, where
the average price is $336,000, or Yarmouth, NS,
where the average price is $125,066 — what do you
care what the national average price is?
The fact is, the national average price is heavily
skewed by Vancouver and Toronto, as Canada’s
most active and expensive housing markets. If these
two are excluded from calculations, CREA says, the
average is a more modest $355,235, and the year-
over-year gain is just 8.7 per cent.
HOW DID WE SELECT WHICH MARKETS FACE
WHICH MARKETS?
How did we “seed” the markets, using March
Madness parlance? Initially, geography.
Since real estate is local, market performance is
most infl uenced by the economic fundamentals
on a provincial, regional and municipal basis.
For example, Guelph would naturally take on
Cambridge, since these two markets are barely 23
kilometres apart, and therefore are subject to similar
challenges and opportunities in that area.
While geography was the key determining factor
for which cities face off in the fi rst round, we had
to make a handful of exceptions. For example,
the 32 city markets in the fi rst round for eastern
Canada were all located in Ontario, with the
exception of one maritime city, Yarmouth, NS. To

help compensate for the large geographical distance, we paired
Yarmouth with one of the Ontario cities located farthest east. And
while this still doesn’t necessarily make them fair opponents, it
wouldn’t be March Madness without a little controversy.
As certain cities failed to make it past the fi rst round, proximity
became less prevalent, and opposing cities advanced to the next
round based on which market had a higher increase in home price
growth over the last four years.
AND FINALLY...
Apologies to Quebec. CREA doesn’t collect the same detailed
data on this market.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE
How to take advantage of lower mortgage rates
SPRING AND SUMMER are nearly here.
It’s often the time when more people are
shopping for a home and when banks
start to o� er more competitive mortgage
rates. But if you already own a home,
how can you take advantage of lower
rates?
You can break your mortgage and
refi nance it at a lower rate, but there are
pros and cons of doing this.
Advantages
There are a number of benefi ts of
refi nancing your mortgage, including:
» Lower payments/interest costs: A
lower interest rate on your mortgage
could mean your payments will be lower
and you’ll likely pay less in total interest
than if you were to keep your current
rate. Try ratehub.ca’s mortgage refi nance
calculator to estimate what your savings
could be.
» Pay o� your mortgage faster: If you’re
making more money than when you
bought your home, you may decide you
want to pay o� your mortgage at a faster
pace. You could do that by shortening
your amortization period.
» Access home equity: If you’re
considering purchasing an investment
property or renovating part of your
home, you can access the equity in your
home (that’s the value of your property
minus your mortgage balance) to help
pay for either.
» Consolidate debt: If you have any
other debt, such as a credit card balance,
a car loan, or a line of credit, you can
consolidate it into your mortgage. By
consolidating your debt, you’ll pay less
interest and you’ll probably have lower
monthly payments on top of a lower
interest rate. Still, you’ll have the same
level of debt.
Disadvantages
Before deciding whether or not to break
your mortgage, you should be aware
that while there’s a potential to save a lot
of money, there are also costs involved:
» Mortgage prepayment penalty: If you
have a variable-rate mortgage, you’ll only
have to pay three months’ interest. But
if you have a fi xed-rate mortgage, your
prepayment penalty is the greater of
three months’ interest or the interest rate
di� erential (IRD). To determine the IRD,
lenders look at the mortgage rate you
have currently, the number of months
left in your term, the rate they could
charge you for a new mortgage term
similar in length to the remainder of your
term. You can estimate the penalty you’d
have to pay using ratehub.ca’s mortgage
penalty calculator.
» Mortgage discharge fee: If you decide
to use a di� erent lender, you’ll have to
pay a fee to discharge your mortgage
from your current lender. Lenders
set their own fees, which can vary by
province. These fees are typically in the
$200 to $350 range.
» Mortgage registration fee: You have
to pay a mortgage registration fee
whether you’re staying with or leaving
your current lender. Your lender removes
the current mortgage amount from the
title on your home and re-registers it
with a new mortgage amount. This fee is
usually around $70.
» Legal fees: You’ll have to consult with
a real estate lawyer when refi nancing
your mortgage. He or she will check
your mortgage’s terms and conditions,
register your new mortgage, and do
a title search to ensure there aren’t
any liens against your home. Legal
fees for refi nancing your mortgage
can be in the $700 to $1,000 range.
But if your mortgage balance is more
than $200,000 and you want to switch
lenders, your new lender may pay
these fees.
While large lenders may soon start
o� ering lower rates and you could pay
less if you break your mortgage, it’s best
to do some research to fi nd out whether
or not you’ll benefi t.

Access to NatureThen there’s Tsawwassen Shores’ setting right
next to the Pacific Ocean. Hint: beachcombing
among the sun-bleached driftwood, fresh sea
breezes and magnificent sunsets.
“We love running and biking, so having the
Blue Heron Trail right there is going to be
fantastic,” says one couple who purchased in
an earlier phase. “A couple of nights ago we
walked for 45 minutes and still didn’t get to
the end of it.” Plus, a traditional boardwalk with
seating and lookout points is currently well
under construction and anticipated to open
this spring.
City Savvy“This is definitely a neighbourhood you can
grow into,” Deren says. “For families, there are
top ranked schools nearby. The Tsawwassen
Mills Shopping Centre jut across the street has
announced that Sak’s Off Fifth Avenue and Bass
Pro Shop will be two of the first anchor tenants,
and with easy access to downtown Vancouver,
the US border, Richmond and YVR, it’s easy to
get anywhere.”

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MAKE your home green.
While some require a little more money than others
(purchasing new Energy Star appliances or installing
solar panels, for example), you can still make a
di� erence at home with a few simple tricks.
1. Move your fridge into the shade: Leaving your
fridge in the sunlight forces it to work harder than it
has to and wastes energy.
2. Replace your incandescent light bulbs with LED
ones: LEDs are a great green option as they use less
electricity, produce less heat and last longer than
your average incandescent light bulbs.
3. Put up thick curtains in the winter: You’ll keep
warmer in the colder months (sadly we have many
of them) without having to crank the heat and you’ll
conserve energy in doing so.
4. Sign up for online statements: You’ll save
money (some fi nancial institutions charge for paper
statements), de-clutter your home and save trees in
the process.
5. Use vinegar to clean: Clean everything and
anything you can with vinegar; it’s the perfect all
natural multipurpose cleaner!
6. Install a water-saving shower head: Admittedly
the wrong low-fl ow shower head can make for a
bad shower but nowadays there are many water-
saving options that don’t compromise pressure.
7. Buy local produce — and walk to the market
to get it: The less your food had to travel to get to
you, the better — and who doesn’t love a good local
farmers’ market?
8. Open your blinds: Avoid turning on the lights
in your house and instead open your blinds to
allow the sunlight to naturally brighten and warm
your home.

Inspiration | DESIGN SECRETS
AS DAYS BECOME longer and the warmth
starts to thaw through the rain and cold,
trends in home design are starting to
emerge. Spring is a time of new hope,
growth and purpose, and that is also
evident in design. Right now, there are
brighter, more vibrant colours, daring art
and accessories and a shift in the “rules.”
Natural elements still play as large a role
as they did in the autumn and winter,
but this time they are less structured and
more abstract.
This spring brings a large shift from
the traditional in terms of room layout.
We are seeing a blur in the lines of each
specific room in new designs. This also
impacts the tasks associated with that
space that generally predict how we
design. For example, wine fridges are
popping up in other rooms besides
just the kitchen. New this season is a
sleeker built-in design in the bedroom
and dining room. Mini fridges have
undergone a makeover and their newer
elegant form can now be found in
bedrooms or family rooms to make
access to a drink and snack easier.
Built-in coffee makers are now seeking a
home in the master ensuite or bedroom.
Along with this movement, there is
a progression of mirrored cabinets and
vanities leaving the bathroom. They
have begun popping up throughout the
home as well. These are great because
in addition to hidden storage space,
they add outlets too. The installation
of in-wall mirrored cabinets is now in
walk-in closets and mudrooms. The
mirrored cabinet isn’t the only item
making its way out of the bathroom.
Cabinets, minus the sink, are now

affi xed to walls to act as dressing tables.
These are ideal for a walk-in or even a
hidden nook in the master.
From appliances to hardware and
colour, the arrival of spring leaves no
part of design untouched. Perhaps
the most exciting part of spring is
the emerging colours both outdoors
and in. Spring often leaves its mark
with bright and bold colours. North
Americans welcome the change
after a long winter with lots of white!
Currently, there is a nod back to the
1980s with this season’s new colours.
There will be a modern take on colours
like dusty rose and hunter green.
The natural infl uences are still strong
this season, but more raw and abstract
then we have seen in the past. Now
woods have unfi nished edges in both
dining and coff ee tables. The colours are
earthier, giving the impression of natural
surfaces. These are combined with very
modern lines and brighter colours to
create a beautiful juxtaposition when
mixed together.
The end of winter is often met with
excitement, colour and new styles in
interior design. This year is no diff erent.
Colour is a strong player with less
defi ned spaces and a nod to raw nature.
Remember, this does not mean to
reinvent your style, but introduce the
pieces you love and mix them with your
current style. The only thing that matters
is that you love your space!
“ Cabinets, minus the sink, are now affi xed to walls to act as a dressing table. These are ideal for a walk-in or even a hidden nook in the master.”
Natural materials highlight this living room designed by Jane Lockhart Interior Design.

Advice | CONDO PRO
Resort-style amenities at home
By Barbara Lawlor
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
IT’S A WONDERFUL THING when
coming home feels like a vacation
every day. That’s the case with many
condominiums today, which o� er
amenities and services similar to a
resort. This lifestyle choice is becoming
increasingly popular with people
who value their leisure time. The
freedom from worrying about building
maintenance, repairs and upkeep is
fabulous, and is only the beginning
of the resort mood that a modern
condominium o� ers.
For me and so many others, the
ambience starts in the lobby, which
really does set the tone for the building.
Developers put a lot of thought into
lobby design to provide a setting that
is like a beautiful hotel, with gorgeous
décor and the convenience of being
able to access concierge service. In
addition to the built-in security this
service provides, the concierge presents
a professional fi rst impression to guests,
announces visitors and o� ers practical
services such as receiving packages
and deliveries for residents who are
away. Some condominium concierges
will even go as far as booking theatre
tickets, scheduling dog-walking and the
like. A few condominium residences are
actually situated on top of a fi ve-star
hotel, which is, of course, the ultimate
in luxury.
And speaking of luxury, modern
condominiums have fabulous amenities
like rooftop gardens and garden terraces
where residents can barbecue and relax
amid lush greenery. These areas also
provide striking views, and when the
condo is also near the lake, it’s all the
more like spending time at the cottage.
Water-lovers also appreciate the fact
that the swimming pools and whirlpools
in today’s condominiums are situated
where they can get a lot of natural
light for a truly inspiring experience all
year long. And when you can count on
someone else to keep the water clean
and the pools maintained, it’s the best of
both worlds.
Recreational amenities and anything
that benefi ts health-conscious residents
are in demand, and you will fi nd that the
fi tness facilities in condominiums are
always in use. Convenient and bright,
these fi tness areas are pleasant to work
out in, and having them in the building
saves on commercial club fees. Some
condos have spas close to pools, change
rooms and saunas so residents can
indulge in a total spa experience. A few
even have a dedicated room specifi cally
for massage therapy, where a therapist
can come in and set up a portable table
– yet another luxury condo owners can
enjoy without leaving home.
Cinema-style screening rooms set the
scene for getting together with friends
to watch a movie or sporting events
without the hassle of driving somewhere,
parking and trying to see over the people
in the seats in front of you. For gala
entertaining, the party room is a great
option that eliminates the need for you
to clean up a big mess the next morning.
The amenities in condominiums really do
expand your lifestyle potential far beyond
the square footage of the suite. And if
you are fortunate enough to live on top
of a fi ve-star hotel, you have the ultimate
in vacation-style living at your fi ngertips,
with access to things like housekeeping
services, valet parking and room service.
Fun, relaxing, invigorating, tranquil,
beautiful, bright – today’s condominium
amenities are more exciting and varied
than ever before. In so many ways, living
in a condo is like having a mini-resort or
getaway under your own roof. And when
you do choose to go away on vacation,
that holiday feeling begins the moment
you lock the door and leave, knowing your
home will be protected and looked after.

Property Profile | THE BURQUITLAM CAPITAL
IT’S A NEIGHBOURHOOD IN THE MIDST of an exciting transition: a dynamic neighbourhood
with visionary outlook and a deep-rooted pride in the diversity of its heritage. This is
Burquitlam, a place where the future is bright. It’s also where you’ll find The Burquitlam
Capital, a 23-storey residential tower with eye-catching architecture, a location that’s close
to everything, and some downright “oh wow” pricing.
Defining a Community“For many people, the cost of a home in Vancouver puts ownership out of reach,” says John
Gilmour, vice president of Magusta Development. “Here you can buy a brand new, two-
bedroom home for less than the cost of many older, resale one-bedrooms in Vancouver,
and you’re still only half an hour from downtown via the SkyTrain. Burquitlam is truly ‘that last
great place’ to buy, and The Burquitlam Capital is poised to take homeownership to a new
level as a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented urban hub.”
Part of the allure, he explains, is The Burquitlam Capital’s location within the
neighbourhood. “We’ll be on a high point right at the curve of the Evergreen Line and only
a three-minute walk to the new
Burquitlam SkyTrain Station. You’ll
be able to access all the new shops
and restaurants that are coming to
this neighbourhood as well as at
Lougheed Town Centre. Plus we’re
adding over 10,000 square feet of
brand new retail and restaurant
space at the base of the building.”
And while specifics are still a secret,
John’s excited to announce he
anticipates one of those eateries will
be “an extremely popular” restaurant
from Vancouver. So stay tuned for
more details.
Invest in Your Future“Whether you’re a first-time buyer,
an investor, or perhaps a parent who
wants to give your child a place to
live while they’re at university, this is
an incredible opportunity for people
with vision,” John says. “Burquitlam
has already changed dramatically
— in five or 10 years, it’s going to be
amazing.”
The Burquitlam Capital’s
presentation centre is anticipated to
open late April in Coquitlam. Prices
for these one- and two-bedroom
homes start at $197,900. For more
information and to priority register,
visit burquitlamcapital.com or call

THAT LAST GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME
Now that Lougheed, Burnaby and Port Moody have been extensively developed and housing
prices seem beyond reach to many, there is still one great place to live: Burquitlam. Located just
on the border of Burnaby and Coquitlam, Burquitlam is the last community to be developed with
its own SkyTrain station. And at the heart of it all, less than a three-minute walk from the new
Burquitlam SkyTrain Station, is The Burquitlam Capital: that last great place to call home,
where everything you’ve been searching for is finally within reach.

WANT TO LIVE AT LUCKY NUMBER seven?
Would you ever live on the 13th floor?
How superstitious are you, and how
much would it affect your next home
purchase? You might not think that
finding the perfect home has much to do
with luck and superstition, but for some,
it’s on the list.
You have to do your research and
check out the tangible factors, but it just
so happens that the wrong number can
stigmatize a property and hurt the price
— or add value because of a luck factor.
Numerology plays highly in real estate
superstition, because it’s so integral
— street names, street numbers, floor
numbers, suite numbers and even sale
prices. Home pricing strategy, says
Realtor Yan Gurevich, is affected by
numerology and personal connections
to lucky or unlucky numbers, and
to personal and sometimes weird
preferences. He notes that you’ll see
numbers that add to a specific lucky
number, or the inclusion of repeated
numbers, like an 888 price point.
So what are the lucky — and not so
lucky — numbers?
4 UNLUCKY
Tetraphobia. In Chinese it sounds
like the word for death so 4, and any
number with a digit of 4 is to be avoided:
40, 444, 441. Numerous buildings
exclude the fourth floor. You may find
buildings like hotels, apartments and
even hospitals without a fourth floor
and even without a room number 4. In
fact, Vancouver has had an increasing
problem with developers wanting to
omit the fourth floor, 14th floor and any
other floor with the number 4 — even
excluding suites with the number 4.
According to Chief Building Officer Pat
Ryan, as reported in the Vancouver Sun
November 2015, it was becoming a
safety issue, and the city issued a bulletin
to developers that removing floors for
cultural or superstitious reasons would
have to stop, citing that, for example,
it could pose a danger to firefighters
in case of emergency, who would not
be able to rely on finding an actual
floor by numerical sequence if random
Need a little luck to find that perfect home?
numbers were arbitrarily missing in some
buildings.
7 LUCKY
Whether it’s the number of days it took
the divine to create the world or the
fact that 7 is a number that repeats itself
in too many obvious ways — 7 seas, 7
colours in the rainbow’s spectrum, 7
notes on the scale — it’s lucky and it’s
62 YPNEXTHOME.CA
worked out well for playoff games and
James Bond (007) too. My house address
is number 7, and without fail, everyone
that has ever visited has remarked that
my home is lucky. I can’t disagree — it’s
been good to me.
8 LUCKY
An auspicious number in Chinese
culture, 8 is considered to be the luckiest
number. Have you ever seen a property
listing price with the last three digits 888
— as in $400,888? Now you know why.
9 UNLUCKY
In Japanese, 9 sounds like the word for
torture or suffering and is to be avoided.
13 UNLUCKY
Triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the
number 13, has long been a superstition.
Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the fear of
Friday the 13th. Whether it stems from
The Last Supper in the Christian faith,
where Judas was the 13th apostle to sit
at the table, or from Viking lore, we’ll
never know — but it’s among the most
famous of superstitions, enough so that
a great number of buildings — rentals,
condos and office buildings — don’t offer
a 13th floor.
17 UNLUCKY
In Italy, 17 is not a welcome number.
The Roman numerals for 17 (XVII) are
an anagram for VIXI — a term implying
you’re dead, similar to the term RIP (Rest
In Peace). You don’t want your address
denoting you’re dead. Real estate, in turn,
rules out 17 — which is easier and less
intrusive than ruling out the number 4!
18 LUCKY
In Hebrew, the same digits are used for
letters and numbers, so every word can
be read as a number and every number
can be sounded out. The digits for 18 are
read as the word “life” which is invested
with a belief of luck, especially luck to
live a long life. To live at number 18 or on
the 18th floor would invest the residence
with luck for a long life.
666 EVIL
From the book of Revelations, John
The Apostle’s reference to ‘The number
of the beast’ (chapter 13) is associated
with Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
Though in Chinese culture, the
pronunciation of 666 sounds like “things
going smoothly” so the number is
favourable. I once had a colleague who
lived at 668. She joked that she was ”The
Neighbour of the Beast.” This one is
pretty universal.
There are other superstitions and signs
of luck in real estate, beyond buying a
home with a yard full of four-leaf clovers
on St. Patrick’s Day. The colour red is a
symbol of luck in Chinese culture and
occasionally comes up, from the paint
palette to the marketing material of new
developments.
Some agents and homeowners believe
that burying a little statue of St. Joseph
will help their home sell. There are a few
differing views about how the statue
should be buried, though all agree that
the statue should be wrapped to keep it
clean as a sign of respect. You can buy
a St. Joseph House Selling Statue
Kit online.
Feng Shui is also given some
consideration. If a property has bad
energy or no flow, it can be a deterrent
for a sale. Feng Shui can even relate
to a residence’s placement on a street
and how the energy will interact with
the flow in the neighbourhood. A home
at the T of an intersection can get too
much chi too fast, and that’s not good.
But for now, may luck be with you for
your real estate ventures.

SURREY/LANGLEY
Property Profile | HYDE CANYON
IT’S NO SECRET THAT I LOVE SURPRISES. So arriving
at Hyde Canyon instantly puts a smile on my
face. This collection of 64 estate homes is like an
unanticipated, hidden gem, a community that has it
all — amazing views, a naturally tranquil setting, and
homes that clearly fit the descriptor of “luxurious
elegance.”
“People are astonished when they arrive for
the first time, because they simply don’t expect
it to be so beautiful here,” says Clare Player, lead
sales representative. Her gesture takes in the lush
greenery of the adjacent ALR lands and the exquisite
landscaping that’s been added to complement each
home.
“There are over two kilometres of walking trails
within the property itself,” she adds. “So it’s great
for jogging, walking the dog, or an after dinner
stroll.” All this and you’re still less than 15 minutes
from the bustling retail and dining mecca
of downtown Langley or the boutiques and
galleries of Fort Langley.
Okay, time to take a closer look.
Luxury to SatisfyInside, Hyde Canyon homes are designed
to satisfy the most discerning homeowner.
These homes are spacious — really spacious.
Ranging from 3,800 to 5,000 square feet,
each of the four, fully furnished display
homes showcases a different style —
everything from classic French country villa
to über modern minimalist.
Well-appointed kitchens are designed to
become the true heart of each home — a
culinary and social hub featuring massive
centre islands, wall mount pot-fillers above a

gas range, and the convenience of double
wall ovens. The effect immediately has
me planning family celebrations and
cooking extravaganzas with my foodie
friends. Mind you, there’s also the outdoor
kitchen that Claire tells me has been a
popular upgrade with many early buyers.
Continuing our tour, I discover
living rooms with soaring, two-storey
vaults, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, and a
seamless connection to covered, year-
round entertainment patios. There are
welcoming foyers, main-floor powder
rooms, and ensuites that redefine luxury
with freestanding soaker tubs, frameless-
glass showers and over-sized tile flooring.
In short, these are homes with class and
character.
“Buyers are also delighted that having
so much space gives them plenty of
opportunity to personalize their home,”
Clare says. “Gyms, yoga studios, games
rooms, and home theatres are all
extremely popular.” Still, I have to confess
by favourite is the lower-level wine room
with floor-to-ceiling bottle display wall
found in the third showhome. I mean
seriously, how cool is that?
Family AttitudeFor active, growing families, Hyde Canyon
is a winning location too. Sports are
diverse and plentiful. Parks, including
the delights of Williams Park with its
forest and picnic areas, are found in
every direction. Schools at all levels
include Montessori, Fundamental and
private Christian schools, plus Kwantlen
Polytechnic University. And when you’re
ready to tee off, all you need do is pick
your favourite among the half dozen golf
courses within a short drive.
The Hyde Canyon presentation centre
and display homes are found at 24455
– 61st Avenue in Langley and are open
1-5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday.
Priced from $1.3 million. For more

Inspiration | DESIGNER ADVICE
By Yanic Simard
Fall in love with PINK
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT incorporating the colour pink into your interior, you probably
associate it with being juvenile or ultra feminine. This doesn’t have to be the case. Pink
actually is a very versatile colour that works well with almost any hue. It will add softness
and sophistication, depending on what you pair it with and how you use it. Following are
four schemes that will help inspire you to “think pink” in a sophisticated way.
How to incorporate pink into grown-up designs

MORE INSPIRATION ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/inspiration
Stark white + deep pinkNothing is more clean, fresh and hotel-esque
than a room with white walls, white upholstery,
white drapery… and a touch of pink can add some
warmth to the scheme. Try using pink only in the
artwork, like we did with this beautiful bedroom
and stretched canvas art headboard. Accent it with
mirror, like these mirrored side tables.
Pink wallpaper, such as Trove’s Nekkar in Pink
(available at Industrial Storm in Toronto) will add
beauty and elegance to any room setting.

Hot pink + jet blackOne strong colour deserves another. You don’t want
the room to look unbalanced, so to counteract the
boldness of a hot pink, introduce another powerful
colour such as black, which will even everything out.
Keep in mind that the pink doesn’t always need to
be in the paint. The black can also be in the upholstery,
such as black leather club chairs. The fi nish that would
work well here would be a rich looking type of natural
wood, such as zebra wood.
Medium pink + light greenWould you ever upholster your dining chairs in solid
pink fabric? Well, I would! Lavish looking crushed
velvet paired with a neutral wall treatment such as
grasscloth with a subtle hint of green in it looks really
striking. A touch of gold will take the look up to the
next level — such as with Tom Dixon’s gold Etch
Pendant Lights.
Soft pink + dark blueHave you thought about using pink on the ceiling?
Deep, dark blue painted walls, like Benjamin Moore’s
CC-964 Blue Grotto, paired with 2085-60 Pink
Petals as an accent colour for the ceiling looks really
classy. This combination works particularly well for a
bathroom. Refl ective surfaces can help make a space
more mature looking. Introduce a copper element into
the mix.
Natural ways to incorporate pink:
» Pebble stone tile with chalky pink variation
» Maple or bamboo fl ooring with subtle pink graining
» Granite stone countertops with rose pink veins
Colours that clash:
» Mint green
» Orange
» Purple

Advice | CONDO SENSE
By Cameron McNeill
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
VANCOUVER REAL ESTATE is hotter than
ever and, with limited inventory and
home demand near record heights,
bidding wars and homes selling over
the asking price are taking place on a
signifi cant number of homes for sale.
“In the past six months, on average
we’ve been seeing three to fi ve o� ers all
the way up to 20 o� ers on every desirable
home on the market. In these situations,
it is not uncommon to see homes sell for
fi ve to ten per cent over asking” says Pete
Shpak, TAC Real Estate Agent.
For those serious about winning a
bidding war, this means putting your
best foot forward with an o� er free of
subjects to fi nancing and inspection,
as well as a tight closing date. All of
which put a ton of stress on buyers
who feel panicked, picking the next
home available instead of the best
home for them.
Buying presale can relieve some of the
pressure. In the lower mainland, buying
presale means buying a home before it
has fi nished construction and in many
cases before construction has even
started. Your home may take up to three
years to be ready for you to move into
depending on how early you buy and the
type of home you’re buying.
Presale a� ords you the time, selection,
and spread out deposit structure desired
in such a signifi cant decision. The
seven-day rescission period permits
you the time to really think through
your decision, you can choose between
multiple fl oorplans to fi nd the one that
best suits your lifestyle and a spread out
deposit structure allows you additional
time to save for the deposit, and the end
result is a brand new home!
The key to presale success is to stay
up-to-date on upcoming projects in
your desired neighbourhood. Ensure that
you’ve registered online to be fi rst to
receive important information, make sure
you’re working with a realtor for early
information, and visit the MAC website
which lists presale homes that are now
selling, as well as presale communities
that are coming soon.

MOVE OVER VANCOUVER, with your pricey homes, bridges and
traffic congestion. Just like Brooklyn has sucked all the young
creative and middle class out of Manhattan in the last couple
of decades, Burnaby is about to do the same to Vancouver.
A large supply of new buildings, proximity to transit, post-
secondary institutions, recreation and shopping are going to
make Burnaby the first residential choice, no longer the back-
up plan.
Large, diverse and spread out, unassuming Burnaby has
always been defined primarily by its proximity to the city, but
soon it will also be defined as where everyone young and cool
now lives.
It’s always been a nice, respectable suburb where you grew
up before moving into the city, (though you might move back
once you had a kid and wanted to settle down). In the 1980s
the mall at Metrotown became an attraction, but although
both Skytrain’s Millennium and Expo lines go through either
end of the city, Burnaby was still a place
you had to get through on your way to
somewhere else.
Not so today. The available land,
progressive growth strategy and
plethora of transit hubs have turned
Burnaby into a destination and a coveted
place to live. With exorbitant prices in
Vancouver and very little housing supply,
Burnaby’s transformation has been
drawing homebuyers from all over Metro
Vancouver, and they’re primarily young,
educated, and upwardly mobile. And
they’re snapping up Burnaby condos and
townhomes like they’re fresh cronuts on
sale. Shape Properties’ Brentwood Town
Centre redevelopment has had three

residential towers sell out in less than a
year. Station Square in Metrotown had
similar spectacular success.
Now Concord Pacific, famous for
creating much of the Yaletown we know
and love on the vacant Expo lands, is
getting in on the action with a new
26-acre master-planned community
just on the other side of Lougheed from
Brentwood Mall.
“Concord Brentwood will transform
an underutilized industrial area into a
beautiful and diverse mixed-use park-
side community that completes the
exciting revitalization of the Brentwood
Town Centre neighbourhood,” says
Matt Meehan, senior vice-president
of planning with Concord Pacific
Developments Inc.
Designed by award-winning architect
James K.M. Cheng of Vancouver,
Concord Brentwood will consist of
10 glass and concrete towers, most
between 40 and 45 storeys tall. Tower
1 of Phase 1 will consist of 426 units on
45 storeys. It’s being marketed as “the
new Yaletown”, which appeals to young
professionals looking for a trendy and
connected place to call home.

What is so attractive about Burnaby?
For one thing, Burnaby’s leaders have
created a very dynamic action plan for
development that works around four
town centres, Brentwood, Metrotown,
Edmonds and Lougheed, 11 urban
villages, and seven suburban multi-
family areas that will support the over
2,000 units of new housing Burnaby will
need each year for the next 25 years of
population growth. Sustainability, transit,
educational facilities and parks are
integral to this strategy.
In his annual address refl ecting on
the year past, Mayor Derek Corrigan
spoke about some of the development
and plans for future greenspace. “In the
rapidly developing Brentwood Town
Centre, for example, the Gilmore Station
Plan, developed in partnership with
the community, will ensure citizens’
expectations are front and centre. The
plan includes signifi cant open areas
among the many new residential and
commercial buildings. In addition,
conceptual design work is well under
way for the much-anticipated Willingdon
Greenway that will link Brentwood Town
Centre to Confederation Park. This
green space will provide an attractive,
pedestrian oriented public park linking
the Heights and Brentwood Town
Centre, two iconic areas of our city.”
Burnaby also has many of the
province’s leading academic institutions,
including SFU and BCIT. But most of all,
it has the potential to supply enough
new homes to ensure that there are
many new, aff ordable options. With
the infl ux of new residents comes new
businesses, restaurants and amenities.
Says Dan Wilson, Executive Vice
President of Shape Living, “The Amazing
Brentwood addresses the region’s
aff ordability by providing a vibrant
master-planned, mixed-use community
with a variety of housing alternatives to
the single family home. Its location, a
20-minute drive from downtown, also
off ers an aff ordable way to commute via
SkyTrain, which is seamlessly connected
onsite. By creating this world-class
community full of shopping, dining and
entertainment, residents can enjoy an
urban lifestyle with homes at nearly half
the cost of owning downtown. Shape
also plans to deliver this high density
mixed-used model at Lougheed next, a
42-acre transit-oriented master-plan.”
Mayor Corrigan is certainly happy
with the direction his city is progressing.
“The city is again well positioned to
build on our plans and achievements,
keeping Burnaby a city that models
social, environmental and economic
sustainability, and is nationally
recognized as a great — and, I would
argue, the best — place to live, work,
learn and play”. When Vancouver is a
ghost town of Airbnb rentals and absent
millionaires, all the fun will be happening
next door in Burnaby — the new
Brooklyn of the Pacifi c Northwest.
Just like Brooklyn has sucked all the young creative and middle class out of Manhattan in the last couple of decades, Burnaby is about to do the same to Vancouver.

BURNABY/NEW WESTMINSTER
Advice | MIND OVER MORTGAGE
By Alisa Aragon
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
WHETHER YOU ARE a fi rst time buyer,
looking at buying a bigger house or
downsizing, if you are looking at buying
an investment property it is important to
do it be prepared. This spring a sellers’
market is in full swing, which is more
noticeable in certain areas of the Lower
Mainland. With historically low interest
rates, buyers are making the jump into
homeownership, because for many,
their mortgage payments will be less
than what they are paying in rent. It is
certainly a great time to get into the
market. However, in a sellers’ market
buyers fi nd themselves in competition
with other buyers to purchase a home.
Buying a home can be exciting but
having to compete for it can add a lot
more stress. In this case, a property’s
asking price and what the property will
sell for is quite diff erent, and in most
cases the selling price will be well above
and beyond the listed price.
When a homebuyer goes into a
multiple off er situation, they are less in
control. As a buyer, you need to prepare
yourself by doing work upfront and with
the understanding that you might not get
the property in the end.
During multiple off er situations, the
seller is not obligated to negotiate or
accept any of the off ers. The seller has
the liberty to choose the best off er to
negotiate and they will accept the off er
that best refl ects their needs. While price
is important, that will not be the only
Coming out on topImprove your chances, and reduce your stress, in a multiple o� er situation

factor they consider. They will also look
at things such as subject conditions,
completion and possession dates.
Here are some things you can
consider and help you feel more in
control of the situation when going into
multiple offer situations:
» Get pre-qualified by a Mortgage
Expert – One of the most important
aspects of buying a home is knowing how
much you qualify for. You will need to
know what you are comfortable paying
on a monthly basis but also what is the
highest amount you can offer. While you
might be qualified, the lender still has to
approve the property you are buying.
» Prepare and have all your
documentation ready – It is important
that you provide your Mortgage Expert
will all the documentation the lender
is going to require upfront. Especially
since time will be of essence, you
don’t want the added stress of getting
documentation when you are in the
middle of negotiations and during the
subject condition period.
» Having the right real estate agent – It
is critical that you have an agent that has
your best interest in mind. As a buyer it
is not your job to seal the deal, it’s your
agent’s responsibility to know what is
your limit and respect that. Don’t let your
agent try to upsell you on the price and
encourage you to go above your budget.
It’s their job to research comparable
properties in the area and advise you,
but you are the one that makes the final
decision. After all, it’s your money.
» Set your boundaries – Once you set
your budget, stick to it. Determine how
exactly how much you can go over if
you end up in multiple offers. Don’t get
sucked in by emotion and peer pressure
because in the end it can end up costing
you a lot more money.
» Consider doing a home inspection
ahead of time - The buyer could
consider your offer more readily if it
doesn’t include a “subject to inspection”
clause.
» Be flexible – Winning a multiple offer
situation might be as easy as agreeing
to the seller’s conditions such as closing
dates, buying the property “as is” or even
tightening the subject removal dates.
This is important if the seller has already
bought another property and is anxious
to move on. By agreeing to make the
transaction as easy as possible could
mean winning over a more generous
offer. When buying a property “as is” and
limiting the subject conditions (such as
requesting that a missing knob or floor
tile be replaced) might work in your
favour too. If your agent is aware of any
information about the seller’s situation
and if you can be flexible in any way, take
advantage of this opportunity that might
help you get your offer accepted.
» Write it down – Perhaps you might
want to write a quick letter to the
seller explaining who you are and
why you want to buy their home so
much. Buying and selling a home is an
emotional time for everyone, especially
if the seller has lived in that home for a
long time and raised their family there.
Sometimes, it’s not about the highest
offer but it can certainly also be about
an emotional connection. Even though
your offer might be lower than the
others, some sellers might feel a strong
connection to your story and decide
that it’s not about the money but about
someone who will really appreciate a
great home!
» Know when it is time to walk away
– Multiple offer situations can be
stressful and sometimes listing agents
strategically set the price of the home
below market value to start a multiple
offer situation. Make sure you stand firm.
Buying your home is about a great
investment and you have to be smart
about it. In the end, it’s about being
comfortable on what you are paying a
month and happy with the decisions you
make. After all it’s about finding a home
that will be a great place to start building
equity and creating memories.
If your agent is aware of any information about the seller’s situation and if you can be flexible in any way, take advantage of this opportunity that might help you get your offer accepted.
