Editorial: Why Vancouver Isnt Really That

Unaffordable

Are you thinking about buying your rst home? Perhaps youve already started looking for that dream place to call your own. Or maybe youre already a homeowner, but are downsizing or returning to the market after many years.

Whatever your situation, if youre not familiar with todays market and current nancial rules, the prospect of taking on a home purchase can be quite daunting. You need to know the answers to ques-tions such as:

Can I a ord a home in todays hot market?

Should I buy a resale property or a new home?

What are the new lending rules? How much can I withdraw tax-free

from my RRSP for a down payment?

Do I have to pay Property Transfer Tax? What other closing costs are involved? What insurance do I need?Fortunately, all these questions and

many more will be answered at the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (GVHBA) Annual Seminar for New Home Buyers. Now in its 21st year, this free-to-attend session always attracts hundreds of would-be homeown-ers eager to learn about the process and maximize their chances of landing that dream property.

In fact, the seminar has become so popular that, for the rst time this year, GVHBA will be running two seminars one at Surrey City Hall on Tuesday February 10, and the second at the SFU Downtown campus in Vancouver on Thursday February 12.

Both seminars run from 6-9 pm, and will pack in the following essential infor-mation sessions:

What Consumers Need to Know about Buying a New Home and Home Warranty Insurance presented by Home Protection O ce, Division of BC Housing

The New Lending Rules for Home Buyers presented by Dominion MacKlem Mortgages

How Realtors Can Help, Market Update, Pricing, Choosing a Realtor presented by REBGV

Housing Market Overview pre-sented by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation

What Will Your Lawyer Do for You? Closing Costs, Tips for Buying a New Home presented by McQuarrie

FortisBC: Your Key to Savings presented by FortisBC

GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit said, With new home development continuing to rise in so many communities across Metro Vancouver, consumers have a lot of choices to consider. Knowing where the markets are hot and what developers are o ering is part of buying smarter.

He added, This is a one-stop informa-tion shop for new home buyers, so any-one considering buying a home should come to this free seminar.

Spaces are limited, so you must register in advance to snag your spot. Register online at www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Although the seminar is free, attend-ees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

Most of us have wondered what its like to live in a vast, multimillion-dollar, hyper-luxury condo in downtown Vancouver. Perhaps youre even a luxury real estate buyer with a few million burning a hole in your pocket, wondering which fabulous downtown pad to call your home.

Either way, the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia will have no doubt caught your eye, towering 48 oors above the downtown core. So, to sate all our curi-osity, REW.ca jumped at the o er of a private tour of the penthouse and the ve sub-penthouses that are currently listed for sale.

The tour begins in the glamorous lobby with a $250,000 crystal chandelier, where REW is greeted by Bruce Langereis, the president of developer Delta Land Group who lives in the building and is its ambassador, and managing broker Yvonne Drinovz. In the plush elevator it is apparent that Langereis is a popular face around the building he is greeted

as an old friend by a resident, with whom he jokes about a dish of hers that he has clearly enjoyed. Despite the buildings luxury, there is an immediate sense of community.

On the 45th oor we enter one of ve listed sub-penthouses the smart-ly staged south-facing 4501, boasting 270-degree views and one of the icon-ic triangular balconies jutting out high above Howe Street. It has four bedrooms, a den and a media room in 3,784 square feet, along with a sizable but not huge liv-ing room, a generous dining space and an open-plan kitchen with top-notch nish-ings and appliances.

The master bedroom has incredible English Bay, Stanley Park and Lions Gate Bridge views how many people living downtown could watch reworks from their bed? Theres a beautiful dressing room and a white marble master bath-room with classy touches like a cast-iron tub and in- oor heating. The second bed-

room has a bathroom and walk-in closet, plus its own entrance from the hallway a re regulation requirement that hap-pily turns the space into an ideal nanny, granny or guest suite.

The result of having so many rooms in the unit is a sense of intimacy and liv-ability rather than excess luxury. Despite the huge oorplan, no individual room is particularly large making this a func-tional home designed for a family and visiting friends rather than wealthy indi-viduals who might prefer larger entertain-ing spaces.

The six sub-penthouses, on oors 45-47, each take up half of a oor with one, the south-facing 47th- oor unit, already sold for over $8 million. The ve remaining listed units are on the market for between $7.7 million and $8.1 million, and range from 3,483 to 3,784 square feet.

Upstairs, in the 48th- oor penthouse, it is a di erent story again. It is a rare true penthouse, taking up the entire top oor

and completely encircling the elevator core. And, aside from one lavishly staged corner, the penthouse is currently a vast empty concrete shell, waiting for whoever takes it on to do with it what they will. They could put a bowling alley in this section, quips Langereis.

Of course, it also has incredible 360-degree views and several large bal-conies, including a west-facing covered terrace currently home to an outdoor kitchen and bar. Fireworks party, anyone?

So how much is the penthouse going for? A cool $18 million. Its not a hard-and-fast price, says Langereis. Theres some negotiating room for the right buyer. We have built a community in the build-ing, so its partly about getting the right residents in the penthouse that will re ect the community that we have become.

amenities, and for links to more information.
