Heading into the final quarter of 2014 in Fernie, I am filled with optimism and excitement as I watch the economy and real estate markets stabilize. New settlers and adventure seekers are turning up in the Elk Valley again, filled with dreams of living, and playing more in the mountains.
“We’ve chosen Fernie because it is so authentic” are the words most commonly spoken by those looking to settle here. Our town is real and we have a culture that is attractive to many others who have spent what seems to be a lifetime at a desk in a city working towards a mountain lifestyle.
Although prices and demand have not yet returned to the levels we saw before the economic downturn in 2008 they are headed in an upward swing and the indicators point towards a period of growth for our market here in Fernie. Opportunity will be enhanced by the abundant supply of building lots coming to market, offering newcomers a chance like never before to build the next chapter of their lives.
The team at the Fernie Real Estate Company is stronger than ever, filled with excitement, energy and experience. We consistently punch way above our weight in results, commanding the top

Second Homes in Western Canada:
The prospective second home buyer has been watching the real estate market in Western Canada over the past few years with a keen eye.

T he prospective second home buyer has been watching the real estate market in Western Canada over the
past few years with a keen eye. The general downturn in the real estate market was influenced by a number of factors. Economic uncertainty and job security having the biggest impact on
buyers with disposable income. Buyers intent on bypassing the
Western Canada market were going south of the border where a strong dollar and stagnant market made for better investment and money savings. This was made apparent in the Fernie investment and recreational property sales. Towns immediately south in the

U.S. were offering a better “bang for the buck” than what was available in this region of British Columbia.
It looks like that is a thing of the past! The market is on the move with a resurgence in second home buyers purchasing locally. A falling Canadian dollar and strong market bounce back in the US means that going
across the border is no longer such a good proposition.
Fernie has seen condo sales up in volume over 64% year to year and single family home sales is up over 30%.
This is no surprise, reflecting the trends seen in other outdoor recreation hubs such as Canmore, where overall sales figures were up a staggering 34%.
Similar responses have been seen across Western Canada in these markets, a definite indicator that tables are turning in favor of the seller.
The market health is back to where it was pre recession in 2007, with single family homes and apartment condos leading the charge!

This has even started prompting some panic buying in sought after areas! Sellers are now asking a premium price for something that mid recession wouldn’t have held its value.
If you are a prospective buyer in this market, the time to move is now. It is clear that we are post recession and that second home or investment properties are hot items in locations
such as Fernie and Canmore.This flourish in activity will have
implications across the board. With single family home prices increasing due to the demand and willingness to spend from second home buyers, first home buyers entering the market will be facing a tougher buy with less options within specific price points.
Will we see the market statistics grow past that pre recession boom? Quite possibly! If the second home or investment market is something you have been considering, don’t wait to watch prices rise.
If you are a prospective buyer in this market, the time to move is now.

mortgage minder
Like many aspects of your life, obtaining financing on a new or existing home can be a lot less stressful and a whole lot more straight-forward if you’re prepared. But if you’re not prepared, there are many common mistakes you can make. Most of these mistakes are easily avoidable with some preparation and informed advice
Below are the Top 5 Mortgage Mistakes people make when trying to secure financing for their home:
Failing to choose the best product for your situation
There are many different types of loans out there. There are fixed- and variable-rate products, hybrid and no-frills mortgages, lines of credit, term options, amortization choices, and more.
And although choice is great, it can be quite overwhelming without expert advice. While one person would benefit from a variable-rate product, their neighbor may be better suited to a fixed-rate product. The key is to always explain your current situation and future goals in detail so we can select a product
that best meets both your current and longer-term needs.
automatically renewing with your existing lender
Although you may feel an allegiance with the current financial institution that holds your loan, they may not be able to offer you the best choices. When refinancing or renewing, it’s important to always shop the market for your best available option, much like you did when securing your first mortgage. This ensures you end up with the best mortgage rate and terms customized to your unique situation. In many cases your bank will offer you the posted rate in hopes that you’ll simply sign and return the commitment without shopping around. Make sure you do your due diligence when refinancing and renewing. After all, this is your home, your mortgage and your money!
signing documents without reading them
Never sign documents without reading them. If you’re unsure about something,
Top 5 Mortgage Mistakes

always ask for clarification. Remember that you’re the one entering into the agreement, so you need to understand and agree with that commitment.
taking your credit to the limitMake sure that your credit balances
are in your favor when it comes to your mortgage application. Lenders are looking for an appropriate debt-to-income ratio. In other words, you need to have more income than you have debt. Avoid running up a balance on your credit cards and pay down existing debts as much as possible.
Failing to plan aheadIf you know that you’ll need to obtain,
renew or refinance a mortgage, it’s essential to plan for it by ensuring your credit is in order. If it’s not, start preparing.
Don’t make any purchases on your credit cards that you can’t pay off and if you carry a balance on your credit cards, start paying them down. Refrain from making any large purchases before securing your mortgage. If you’re planning to buy a car, wait until after you have secured financing, as your debt-to-income ratio will rise and you don’t want this to occur while trying to secure a mortgage.
Understanding how the mortgage process works and how lenders qualify your loan will help you avoid the above mistakes. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, clarification is just a phone call or email away!

home insPection
It would be too easy to think of a property inspection as merely an additional expense, but a professional inspection is an investment that can pay huge dividends in terms of peace of mind. Typically, an inspection is a thorough evaluation of the structure, systems and components of a home. The inspection report is usually multi-paged, and comments on the condition of foundations, electrical, plumbing, heating, water heaters, appliances, fireplaces, drainage, roof, walls, floors, attic, crawl spaces, patios, etc. and usually takes between 4 and 5 hours to complete. Most homebuyers undertake an inspection because they want to avoid unhappy surprises and unexpected repairs. An inspection can also provide a clearer picture of the condition of a property before you sell, build or remodel.
Bob Langfield has been a home inspector in Fernie for 10 years and brings 30 years of construction management experience to his business, Homegauge. He says, “It is important to make the right decision when engaging an inspector. The inspection report will provide information
that may influence the buying decision, identify safety issues, or highlight maintenance that needs be carried out. Make sure you engage an inspector with the right skill set to do the job.”
BC was the first province in Canada to license home inspectors in 2009, it was another two years before Alberta followed suit. Professional inspectors like Bob Langfield would like to see licensing become commonplace nationwide, “before licensing, consumers had no way of knowing if the inspector they hired is qualified to do the job. I am a member of the BCIPI (British Columbia Institute of Property Inspectors) and currently we are the only inspectors in BC required to pass a rigorous supervised mentor training program. This means that our members have completed supervised inspections before being authorized to undertake and charge the public for our services.”
There are an estimated 300 to 400 home inspectors currently operating in the province, and most are members of at least one of the three professional associations in B.C.

Protection Authority (BPCPA) are the licensing authority in our province; they aim to protect the buyer’s interests by: • Assessing the qualifications of, and requiring mandatory licences for home inspectors• Receiving and responding to complaints from consumers• Monitoring compliance through inspections and enforcement, with penalties that as high as $5,000
Licensing provides us with reassurance that we have the protection of a licensing body, and a point of contact to register any concerns or complaints. A home
inspection report is a vital component of the process when buying property. Many realtors will not write a contract without that subject.
Most of us love a surprise – gifts, treats, parties – those kinds of surprises are good. Finding out you have dry rot or faulty electrics after you’ve bought your dream home is not the kind of surprise any of us like.

Sitting on the edge of Mount Fernie Provicial Park, The Cedars consists of 100 acres in the Cedar Valley foothills. Upmost importance in this development is the preservation and establishment of recreation access, with 49% of the area being dedicated to green space. Bordering on Mount Fernie’s Provincial Park trail network provides an extension on the already world class trails allowing for hiking, mountain bike riding and of course Nordic skiing come winter time.
Another asset to this new community location is the current development of the Elk Valley Nordic Centre within The Cedars, giving skiers even more options and facilities right on their doorstep.
Focusing on family style homes with approximately 150 single family lots planned. Currently in phase one, 28 lots are officially on the market. Opening price point will start around $179 900 for a regular size lot with many options right up to half acre lots at the higher end.

In a shift towards new age initiatives, the idea is to have homes architecturally inspired by their surrounds with less focus on size and more on design. Building won’t be restricted to one company, giving owners freedom to build independently providing it complies with The Cedars architectural guidelines.
The Cedar Valley has an important history in the region and the town of Fernie. First explored by Europeans in the late 1800’s, the surrounding mountain range that sits immediately to the south was named the Lizard Range due to Salamanders discovered at the now world famous catskiing operations further up the valley, Island Lake Lodge. The Cedar Valley, Lizard Range and Mount Fernie have been a favorite year round recreation area for the community of Fernie and this new development will only aid in the access and enjoyment of these areas.
Pristine old growth forests, stunning mountains and recreation opportunities make The Cedars a leader in mountain town development. The importance of such a special environment is stressed with the incorporation of environmentally
friendly guidelines and green space preservation.
Being only minutes from the historic Fernie downtown means The Cedars is an ideal location for access to Fernie Alpine Resort only 5 kms down the road. Fishing on the Elk River is literally on your doorstep and the Fernie Golf Club and Country Club in close proximity.
If you have been waiting for an opportunity to live and play in the mountains then The Cedars could be the answer for you. Build your dream home in this idyllic location and spend your family time enjoying the best of British Columbia’s outdoors.
Full city servicing is complete with asphalt curbs and gutters scheduled to be installed Spring of 2015 and home construction commencing in 2015 as well.
