Did You Know Chilliwack is One of the Top Cities in Western Canada to Invest in?
Tumblr media
PC: Western Investor
Western Investor rates Chilliwack BC #3 for Best Western Canadian Investment Towns. 
“The opening of the $200 million Molson Coors brewery in September is not the only good news for investors looking at the Lower Mainland community that has become an industrial real estate hot spot. The 400 jobs created by the new Molson Coors brewery will help speed the flow of people into Chilliwack, where house prices are rising faster than anywhere else in the Lower Mainland. In September, the average home price in Chilliwack, at $525,200, was up 1.2 per cent from a year earlier, while it had fallen 6 per cent in Greater Vancouver. Chilliwack’s economy is anticipated to expand by a steady 2.2 per cent this year and next, according to the Conference Board of Canada. Employment is set to grow by 1.5 per cent in 2019 and 2.4 per cent in 2020.  The unemployment rate, already at a tight 4.5 per cent, is expected to reach 4.4 per cent next year, one of the lowest in Canada.”
The REIN recently named Chilliwack one of the Top 10 BC Cities to invest in because of our “Economy, affordable real estate and skills-focused education.”
Chilliwack has so much to offer from our mild climate, shopping, arts and culture, great schools, growing leisure facilities and recreational opportunities, and competitive housing costs...we have a fantastic quality of life!

Top 5 Tips for the First-Time House Buyer
Words cannot describe the feelings you will experience when you buy your first home. As you get the keys and you walk through the front door, you may get overwhelmed with emotions. Knowing that you are the proud owner of the house, you will begin dreaming of what you would like to do in the house and how you will create memories to last you a lifetime. Stop! Before you become a homeowner, you would first have to check out different homes for sale in Chilliwack to find one that is right for you.
Remember, a home will be one of the biggest investments you make and you should not take it lightly. Here are the five most important tips that you should follow as a first-time homebuyer before you go out and purchase your home.
Take Stock of Your Financial Situation
Most first-time homebuyers jump in without realizing the financial commitment homeownership requires. Besides having money for the down payment, you will also need money continuously to maintain the house and pay local taxes. So, it is prudent to assess your financial situation and ensure you are prepared to own a home before you start checking out houses for sale in Chilliwack.
Check If You Qualify for the First-Time Home Buyers’ Program
In Canada, the First-Time Home Buyers’ Program can reduce or do away with the pay property transfer if you qualify for it. So, it is advisable to check whether you are eligible for this. You can enjoy partial or complete exemption, depending on your eligibility.
Get Pre-approved for the Mortgage
Before you begin looking for townhouses for sale in Chilliwack, it is advisable to get pre-approved for the mortgage. You can do this through a mortgage broker. When you get pre-approved, you will get an estimate of the mortgage amount you can apply for. As a result, you will have a figure to work with and you will not go looking for homes that do not fit into that amount. It can save you a lot of time and effort, and prevent you from getting disappointed.
Have a Savings Plan in Place
It is prudent to save money so that you can make a big down payment on your first home. That way, it will reduce the mortgage amount. In addition, set up an emergency fund that will help you pay for unforeseen costs that may crop up during the buying process or after you finish the purchase. Usually, every month, you should save about 5% of your total income as your emergency fund.
Hire a Real Estate Agent
Whether you are looking for townhouses or condos for sale in Chilliwack, it is advisable to hire a real estate agent. As a first-time buyer, you will not have a lot of knowledge about the real estate industry and regulations. Working with a reputed and reliable real estate agent will ensure that the entire process of finding the right property and finalizing the purchase goes off seamlessly. You will not have a thing to worry about as the agent will handle everything. Based on your budget and requirements, the agent will shortlist properties that you can check out, arrange an inspection, and also work with your lending institution to ensure you get the mortgage without a hitch. You will not find it stressful as a first-time homebuyer and will, in fact, enjoy the experience.
The Bottom Line
These are some of the tips that you should follow as a first-time homebuyer. When you do so, you will find that the entire buying process will go off without a hassle.

Structural Soil An Innovative Medium Under Pavement
Have you ever wondered how on earth trees grow in little square planters alongside roadways and sidewalks?
Here’s a great article by Denbow in Chilliwack BC that helps explain the simplicity of how structural soil works. It’s a simple process that makes a ton of sense. Hopefully you enjoy learning the simple steps of how things work as much as I did.
Unless you are one of the few in the know, you probably have. An education on structural soil help will help explain how growing trees below pavement is possible and how it provides urban areas opportunity to enhance the green space within city limits.
Here’s a great article from Cornell University that helps highlight the composition and uses of structural soil. There is a ton of valuable and informative information here, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Read the full article here.
Introduction
The major impediment to establishing trees in paved urban areas is the lack of an adequate volume of soil for tree root growth. Soils under pavements are highly compacted to meet load-bearing requirements and engineering standards. This often stops roots from growing, causing them to be contained within a very small useable volume of soil without adequate water, nutrients or oxygen. Subsequently, urban trees with most of their roots under pavement grow poorly and die prematurely. It is estimated that an urban tree in this type of setting lives for an average of only 7-10 years, where we could expect 50 or more years with better soil conditions. Those trees that do survive within such pavement designs often interfere with pavement integrity. Older established trees may cause pavement failure when roots grow directly below the pavement and expand with age. Displacement of pavement can create a tripping hazard. As a result, the potential for legal liability compounds expenses associated with pavement structural repairs. Moreover, pavement repairs which can significantly damage tree roots often result in tree decline and death.
The problems as outlined above do not necessarily lie with the tree installation but with the material below the pavement in which the tree is expected to grow. New techniques for meeting the often opposing needs of the tree and engineering standards are needed. One new tool for urban tree establishment is the redesign of the entire pavement profile to meet the load-bearing requirement for structurally sound pavement installation while encouraging deep root growth away from the pavement surface. The new pavement substrate, called ‘structural soil’, has been developed and tested so that it can be compacted to meet engineering requirements for paved surfaces, yet possess qualities that allow roots to grow freely, under and away from the pavement, thereby reducing sidewalk heaving from tree roots.
Convential Tree Pits are Designed for Failure Looking at a typical street tree pit detail, it is evident that it disrupts the layered pavement system. In a sidewalk pavement profile, a properly compacted subgrade of existing material often is largely impermeable to root growth and water infiltration and significantly reduces drainage if large percentages of sand are not present. Above the subgrade there is usually a structural granular base material. To maintain a stable pavement surface the base material is well compacted and possesses high bearing strength. This is why a gravel or sand material containing little silt or clay is usually specified and compacted to 95% Proctor density (AASHTO T-99). The base layer is granular material with no appreciable plant available moisture or nutrient holding capacity. Subsequently, the pavement surrounding the tree pit is designed to repel or move water away, not hold it, since water just below the pavement can cause pavement failure. Acknowledging that; the above generalizations do not account for all of the challenges below the pavement for trees, it is no mystery why trees are often doomed to failure before they are even planted.
The subgrade and granular base course materials are usually compacted to levels associated with root impedance. Given the poor drainage below the base course, the tree often experiences a largely saturated planting soil. Designed tree pit drainage can relieve soil saturation, but does nothing to relieve the physical impedance of the material below the pavement which physically stops root growth.
A New System to Integrate Trees and Pavement
‘Structural soil’ is a designed medium which can meet or exceed pavement design and installation requirements while remaining root penetrable and supportive of tree growth. Cornell’s Urban Horticulture Institute, has been testing a series of materials over the past five years focused on characterizing their engineering as well as horticultural properties. The materials tested are gap-graded gravels which are made up of crushed stone, clay loam, and a hydrogel stabilizing agent. The materials can be compacted to meet all relevant pavement design requirements yet allow for sustainable root growth. The new system essentially forms a rigid, load-bearing stone lattice and partially fills the lattice voids with soil (Figure 1). Structural soil provides a continuous base course under pavements while providing a material for tree root growth. This shifts designing away from individual tree pits to an integrated, root penetrable, high strength pavement system.
This system consists of a four to six inch rigid pavement surface, with a pavement opening large enough to accommodate a forty year or older tree (Figure 2) .
The opening could also consist of concentric rings of interlocking pavers designed for removal as the buttress roots meet them. Below that, a conventional base course could be installed and compacted with the material meeting normal regional pavement specifications for the traffic they are expected to experience. The base course would act as a root exclusion zone from the pavement surface. Although field tests show that tree roots naturally tend to grow away from the pavement surface in structural soil. A geotextile could segregate the base course of the pavement from the structural soil. The gap-graded, structural soil material has been shown to allow root penetration when compacted. This material would be compacted to not less than 95% Proctor density (AASHTO T-99) and possess a California Bearing Ratio greater than 40 [Grabosky and Bassuk 1995,1996]. The structural soil thickness would depend on the designed depth to subgrade or to a preferred depth of 36 inches. This depth of excavation is negotiable, but a 24 inch minimum is encouraged for the rooting zone. The subgrade should be excavated to parallel the finished grade. Under-drainage conforming to approved engineering standards for a given region must be provided beneath the structural soil material.
The structural soil material is designed as follows. The three components of the structural soil are mixed in the following proportions by weight, crushed stone: 100; clay loam: 20; hydrogel: 0.03. Total moisture at mixing should be 10% (AASHTO T-99 optimum moisture).
Crushed stone (granite or limestone) should be narrowly graded from 3/4 -1 1/2 inch, highly angular with no fines. The clay loam should conform to the USDA soil classification system (gravel <5%, sand 25-30%, silt 20-40%, clay 25-40%). Organic matter should range between 2% and 5%. The hydrogel, a potassium propenoate-propenamide copolymer is added in a small amount to act as a tackifier, preventing separation of the stone and soil during mixing and installation. Mixing can be done on a paved surface using front end loaders. Typically the stone is spread in a layer, the dry hydrogel is spread evenly on top and the screened moist loam is the top layer. The entire pile is turned and mixed until a uniform blend is produced. The structural soil is then installed and compacted in 6 inch lifts.
In a street tree installation of such a structural soil, the potential rooting zone could extend from building face to curb, running the entire length of the street. This would ensure an adequate volume of soil to meet the long term needs of the tree. Where this entire excavation is not feasible, a trench, running continuous and parallel to the curb, eight feet wide and three feet deep would be minimally adequate for continuous street tree planting.
There will be a need to ensure moisture recharge and free gas exchange throughout the root zone. The challenge may be met by the installation of a three dimensional geo-composite (a geo-grid wrapped in textile one inch thick by eight inches wide) which could be laid above the structural soil as spokes radiating from the trunk flair opening. This is currently in the testing stage. Other pervious surface treatments could also provide additional moisture recharge, as could traditional irrigation.
When compared to existing practice, additional drainage systems, and the redesigned structural soil layer represent additional costs to a project. The addition of the proposed structural soil necessitates deeper excavation of the site which also may be costly. In some regions this excavation is a matter of standard practice. However, this process might best be suited for new construction and infrastructure replacement or repair, since the cost of deep excavation is already incurred.
The Urban Horticulture Institute continues to work on refining the specification for producing a structural soil material to make the system cost effective. It is patent pending and will be sold with the trademark ‘CU-Soil’ to insure quality control. Testing over five years has demonstrated that stabilized, gap-graded structural soil materials can meet this need while allowing rapid root penetration. Several working installations have been completed in lthaca, NY, New York City, NY, Cincinnati, OH, Cambridge, MA and elsewhere. To date, the focus has been on the use of these mixes to greatly expand the potential rooting volume under pavement. It appears that an added advantage of using a structural soil is its ability to allow roots to grow away from the pavement surface, thus reducing the potential for sidewalk heaving as well as providing for healthier, long-lived trees.

Why Rating Your Realtor Is So Important
Tumblr media
As technology grows and our society evolves, the old ways of doing things have changed. We now look to others in a much broader way for help. REVIEWS and RATINGS are a major factor in the way people choose to purchase something or hire someone. In most professions there are websites that allow you to rate your experience with that professional. In my industry these rating sites are just starting to become a popular way for consumers to choose their realtor. I ask all my clients to visit www.rate-my-agent.com so they can rate their experience with me. Most realtors have chosen not to take this route as they find it risky for themselves to be judged on a public form.
I feel it is important to give the public as much info about ourselves as we can when they are making the most expensive purchase of their lives. I am confident to have this on my website and I hope people start to use this tool in order to make an informed decision on who they should hire. A lot of people like to rate restaurants where a meal may cost you $50-$100, but they do not rate their realtor where the average home in Chilliwack sells for more than $500,000. Definitely something to think about!

Tips For Choosing the Right Chilliwack Real Estate Agent
Tumblr media
Finding a Chilliwack real estate agent who is right for you requires doing a little homework, and asking the right questions. Choosing an agent is a decision that could ultimately cost OR save you thousands of dollars! Keep in mind the individual you choose will be handling almost every maneuver in the biggest financial investment of your life. Experience, interests and expertise vary from agent to agent, so you should ask VERY specific questions in order to align your own needs with the abilities of your representative. Here's a great list of questions you can use as a guide to find the agent that is right for you!
Tumblr media
1. How long have you been involved in residential real estate in this area?
If the agent hasn’t been connected to the residential real estate market for several years, s/he will be out of touch with the cyclical nature of the current market. Your agent must be familiar with trends of the local market and have an eye for the ways in which it will change. This knowledge could mean the difference of thousands of dollars in the long-run. 2. What is your marketing strategy for my home?
A realtor should be able to lay out for you, in detail, a marketing plan to sell your home. Examine this plan carefully. How much money does the realtor allot for advertising? What type of media does s/he use? They should be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of one form of media over another, explaining why their particular marketing strategy will sell your home faster and for top dollar. The realtor should employ current, innovative marketing techniques that indicate creativity and a willingness to market outside of the box. Stay away from realtors who rely on traditional, dated forms of advertising. They simply won’t work in the current real estate market. 3. How do you support a buyer throughout the process?
A realtor should be able to indicate how s/he will support you through each step of the home-buying or selling process, offering you a unique system to suit your needs and goals. Also, ask if a specialist will be available at each level of the sale. Your realtor should always be on hand to answer questions, but the specific resources of an expert can be invaluable during different stages of the process. 4. What other properties has your company sold in my area?
The realtor should be able to provide you with a complete, detailed listing of their own sales in your area, as well as other comparable sales. You should get a clear idea of what you might be able to expect both from the realtor and from the current market. 5. What is your experience with financing options? How would you suggest I approach my own financing plan? Each buyer requires a different financing strategy. A realtor should be able to suggest a plan catered specifically to your financial background and needs. Don’t just depend on your lender for information and guidance on financing a new home. Let your agent lead the way. 6. On average, how close is the selling price of your listings to their asking price, and how long do they take to sell? You can contact the Real Estate Board to obtain information on the selling record of an agent. The Board also has statistics on a broader scale, so you can see whether an agent’s selling performance is higher or lower than the board average, and whether s/he tends to sell faster or slower than the board average. Placing the realtor’s performance on a scale will help you get an idea of how much you might expect your home to sell for, and how long it might take to sell. 7. What is your philosophy/method of negotiation and how will you apply it when selling my home? Your realtor should be able to articulate effective and informed negotiation tactics that demonstrate a commitment to securing the best price for you. 8. Do you have a reference list of clients I could contact?
Do some homework! Choose a few names on the list and call them. The stories of others who have gone through the home-selling process can be a valuable source of information.
