Ignore the News: Why Right Now is a Good Time to Buy

2012-01-03T16:10:00.000-08:00

Many people can't seem to shake all the speculation they heard in the 2011 news about the state of the economy and the ever looming threat of a recession. Unfortunately, it's fears such as these, which are often perpetuated and exacerbated by today's pervasive media, that can lead to people holding off on making major life decisions or financial commitments. Although it is always wise to proceed with caution in uncertain times, how long can a person actually put their life on hold? Is there really any benefit to all of this waiting?

Well, many of our purchasers at Cadence recognized that the current economic conditions were actually presenting them with opportunities, not barriers, and decided to make their move regardless of what they heard in the news. As they realized, buying a home in today's market isn't really as risky as one might think; in fact, there are actually many different and compelling reasons why now is the perfect time to buy. Here are some of the factors our residents took into consideration while making the decision to purchase at Cadence:

1) They were buying and selling in the same market. Forget what your house was once worth in 2006 - it's 2012 now and times have changed, but you'll still be able to get a great new house!

2) They were simply moving equity from a old home that no longer suited them into a beautiful new home that would enhance their lifestyle.

3) There would probably never be a time where the price difference between an old home and a new home would ever be lower.

4) With home prices as low as they are now, commissions are less, taxes are less, and costs for moving are also less.

5) Presently, with fewer people having confidence to move, there is less competition in the marketplace which means it's easier to negotiate what you want.

6) Once the market improves and there is an upward pressure on prices, new homes traditionally appreciate faster than used homes and the cost of moving will be higher.

In addition to all of these factors, the Cadence Make A Move program has been designed to alleviate the risks and uncertainty commonly associated with homebuying. Our innovative purchase plan not only gives you plenty of time to sell your present home, but allows you to lock in your price and choice of lot, and protects you against any price increases/decreases. There is no additional commitment until your current home is sold and 90% of the balance is not due until you move in. What could be simpler than that?

So, keeping all of this in mind, why not start the new year off right by taking advantage of these favourable market conditions and make your move to Cadence at the Lakes.

Life's good lived at your own rhythm!

When it comes to building a home and selecting the right colours for your new space, many people can become overwhelmed when faced with the wide range of styles and options available to them in today's marketplace. Other people can have a very distinct vision in their minds of what they want, but then get frustrated when the colour on the walls doesn't actually match the tiny little paint chip they got from the store. Well whether you fall into the former or the latter of these two categories, we here at Cadence at The Lakes have got you covered!

At Cadence, we have worked exclusively with interior designer Eileen Ritchie, of Eileen Ritchie Homes, to create three beautiful interior colour palettes and eight stunning exterior colour palettes for you to choose from.

Cadence Hosts the Lake Country Business After Hours

2011-05-03T14:45:00.000-07:00

Cadence at The Lakes was the proud host of the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours event on April 27, 2011. The evening was a great success with many members of the local business community in attendence. Amazing wines from local vineyards, Gray Monk and Ex Nihilo, were served and several lucky people were the winners of of some great Lake Country door prizes.

We would like to thank the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce for all of their assistance as well as everyone who attended and helped to make the night memorable.

For more information on the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce and their events, including the upcoming Valley Wide Business After Hours / Trade Show, please visit their website.

2011-03-18T14:10:00.000-07:00

A new year is upon us and we are looking forward to an exciting 2011. Looking back, the end of 2010 was busy with a number of new residents calling Cadence home. We now have 11 homes either occupied or under construction with more activity in the community every day. So far, early in 2011, there has been very strong interest from the visitors at our show homes.

In talking to our visitors throughout 2010, however, we found a common theme. People were as eager as ever to make a move but were getting tired of having their lives on hold waiting for the economy to change. There seemed to be a number of things everyone had in common holding them back from making a move:

• Thinking they need to sell their home before making a commitment
• A general lack of confidence in the economy
• Fear that prices will continue to drop and they would be buying too soon
• HST – ongoing confusion, misunderstanding and uncertainty

In response, we have explored these concerns and have developed an all encompassing new program that addresses each and every one of these issues. We have reengineered our purchase program at Cadence at The Lakes to simplify the entire buying process and take the risk out of moving. We have looked at all of the elements of the current market and have implemented a brand new program called MAKE A MOVE.

Cadence at The Lakes' innovative new MAKE A MOVE program has been designed to fully address all of today’s complicated issues faced by a purchaser. Our program has been tailored to dramatically simplify the entire buying process, eliminating all of the common ‘barriers to entry’ and paving the way for purchasers to MAKE A MOVE.

• No need to sell your home first – a small deposit secures your choice of home and lot and locks in your price
• You choose when construction starts – leaving you with plenty of time to sell your home
• We build your entire home on a small deposit – you pay the balance once the home is complete
• Prices are protected against both increases and decreases
• In most cases there will be no additional cost due to the HST

So come and see us at Cadence at The Lakes! We are pleased to have added a second furnished Show Home decorated by award winning designer Eileen Ritchie. This Fresco home is move in ready and suitable for anyone looking for a fabulous place to live early in 2011. Value priced at $430,695.00 on a fully landscaped lot the Fresco is open for viewing daily along with our Adagio Show Home.

For more information on this revolutionary new purchase program and to see all of the great changes taking place at Cadence, please visit Bill Wendt and Eric Brenneman. They are at the Cadence Show Homes daily between noon and 4 pm. With over 30 years combined experience in the Okanagan’s finest maintenance free lifestyle communities Bill and Eric look forward to showing you how you can MAKE A MOVE – NOW!

This is why you should move to BC...

Frequently Asked Questions

2010-10-29T15:30:00.001-07:00

Q. Is Cadence at The Lakes freehold property?

A. Yes. Cadence is a freehold strata title property, which means you own your lot and your home in their entirety. It is not leasehold, nor is it First Nations property.

Q. What is a bare-land strata? Do I pay fees for this?

A. A bare land strata is governed by The Strata Property Act and refers to the subdivision of land into strata lots and common property. In a bare-land strata development, each lot is individual and, in our case, features a self-contained, single-family dwelling. This is unlike a conventional strata development, where all of the lots share the land and buildings, as well as the common property.

The common property at Cadence is the recreational facility that all residents will have the exclusive right to use. Because this property is shared between the homeowners, a monthly strata fee will need to be charged in order to cover the ongoing cost of maintenance. However, since the fees for bare land strata do not need to cover the expense of maintaining all the individual dwellings in the development, they are significantly lower than conventional strata property fees.

For more information on what else your strata fees will cover, please refer to the Maintenance Free section of our website.

Q. How stable are the monthly fees? Will these increase when the recreation centre is built?

A. The fees are based on the budget provided by the Developer in the Disclosure Statement and costs for maintaining the recreation center are already included.

Q. Do I pay for geothermal heating and cooling? Do I have any options?

A. You have two options for paying your geothermal costs. One option is to become a customer of TerraSource Geothermal Utility Services and pay a fixed monthly fee (usually around $77.00) for unlimited heating and cooling. This rate is linked to the Consumer Price Index in British Columbia and increases only if the Consumer Price Index increases. Your other option is to purchase your entire geothermal system outright. By doing this, you will own your own ground loops and would never have to pay another monthly fee. This is why it is common to hear that geothermal energy pays for itself in about 8-9 years.

For more information, please refer to the Geothermal section of our website or visit TerraSource Utility Services.

Q. What if I want to first be a Terrasource Geothermal Utility Services customer and then purchase my geothermal system at a later date?

A. No problem. You can purchase your system outright at any time. The customer cost for this option is equal to the current Monthly Loop Access Fee multiplied by the Early Termination Multiplier (109).

Q. When will the recreational centre be built? What does it mean that it’s been “bonded for”?

A. Due to its location, the recreation facility will be built with the third phase of Cadence at The Lakes. When you hear that it has been “bonded for,” it means that the funds to build the facility have been secured with a letter of credit in favour of the District of Lake Country. As such, there is no risk that the recreation facility will not be constructed.

Q. Is this a gated community?

A. Cadence at The Lakes features an attractive perimeter fence and landscaped boulevard, but does not have an actual gated entrance. This is because the District of Lake Country will continue to be responsible for maintaining the roadways, sewer system, light standards, and fire hydrants within the development. Consequently, because these costs do not need to be accounted for in the Strata budget, the savings are passed on to residents in the form of lower monthly strata fees.

Q. Is there an age restriction at Cadence?

A. No. Cadence at The Lakes offers maintenance-free resort style living for all ages.

Q. Is Property Transfer Tax (PTT) payable on the lot and home?

A. At Cadence at The Lakes, we offer a purchasing package that is unique to most developments. When you purchase at Cadence, we will allow you to separate the contracts of the lot and home so that you can buy your lot in a separate transaction from the purchase of your home. If you decide to pursue this option, you will only have to pay property transfer tax on the value of the lot. This could save you approximately $4500 - $8000 depending on the price of your home.

For more information, please visit http://www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/individuals/Property_taxes/Property_Transfer_tax/ptt.htm

Q. Are Cadence at The Lakes and The Lakes the same entity?

A. No. Cadence at The Lakes is a community being built within the already established neighbourhood of The Lakes. We are a bare-land strata development offering home and lot packages for those seeking a maintenance free lifestyle. The Lakes itself sells lots for either builders or purchasers to build their own homes and is not stratafied.

Q. How close are you to the airport and UBCO? What is the distance to Vernon or Kelowna?

A. We are just 13 KM from the Kelowna International Airport and 15 KM from UBCO. Cadence is 20 minutes south of Vernon and 20 minutes north of Kelowna.

Q. What style of homes do you offer and how are they priced?

A. Cadence at The Lakes offers rancher-style single family homes with seven different floorplans to choose from and a wide range of finishing options. Prices for house packages vary depending on the size of the lot and the style of the floorplan; however, all of our prices include the house, lot, landscaping, and exposed aggregate driveway. Packages at Cadence can range between $379,900 to $549,900* and can be built to suit almost every budget.

* Subject to availability.

Okanagan Valley Corridor Expansion

2010-09-30T14:46:00.000-07:00

Many people have asked us how the expansion of the highway between Winfield and Oyama will affect our development. Well the good news for all of our residents and prospective buyers is that new highway does not impact our development at all; in fact, it only makes life at Cadence even more convenient!

As you can see from the illustration below, the new highway, part of the Ministry of Transportation's expansion of the Okanagan Valley Corridor, will be upgraded from two lanes to four lanes and will be realigned so that it sits west of the existing highway.

The realigned section of highway will run just below The Lakes subdivision; however, this will have zero impact on the homes at Cadence due to the buffer zone created by Phase 3 of The Lakes and the fact that the highway is situated downhill from the development. So not only will this expansion have no negative impact on Cadence, it will actually benefit our residents by increasing road capacity in the area, creating a safer driving environment and reducing travel times between Lake Country and Vernon.

For more information on the Okanagan Valley Corridor Expansion, including an FAQ, please visit the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure's website: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/OkanaganValley/projects/winfield-oyama

There is also a great video animation of the expansion available:

Maintenace Free Living at Its Best!

2009-04-21T10:42:00.000-07:00

Blue skies and warmer weather mean great things for outdoor enthusiasts in the Okanagan - the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the grass is getting greener. But greener grass is also longer grass, which means it's time to start dragging out that old mower again! Unless, of course, you live at Cadence at The Lakes...

Cadence at The Lakes is proud to be Lake Country's newest bare land strata community. We have worked hard to develop a comprehensive strata agreement that ensures our residents receive the best value for their money. For only a third of what some people pay to live in a stratafied condo development, Cadence home owners will enjoy the following services:

• All landscaping, including maintenance of irrigation (start up & shut down)
• All snow removal, including driveway & walk way
• Maintenance of the Cadence recreation area (pool, hot tub, etc)
• All insurance for common property and amenity site
• Management fees and other fees for operating a strata corporation

So don't waste your all your precious outdoor time toiling over the lawn. At Cadence at The Lakes, we do all the hard work for you! Life's good lived at your own rhythm...

Okanagan Home Sales Up in March

2009-04-14T09:34:00.000-07:00

According to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board, single family residential sales for the month of March are up 52% across the Valley. This is good news to those interested in real estate as, traditionally, the average monthly increase is usually only around 28%.

At Cadence at The Lakes, customers are able to get unparalled quality and value for their money. Our houses, including the lot and landscaping, are priced very competitively and range from just $369,000 to $550,000. With six different floorplans to choose from, including an extensive list of upgrades and options, you can build the home of your dreams at a price that works for you. Cadence at The Lakes. Live life at your own rhythm!
