Ah, the summer vacation home. Sunny sum-

mer days fi lled with outdoor activities, pre-

dinner cocktails while lounging by the pool

or lake, romantic dinners with your sweet-

heart. Kind of makes your heart skip a beat

just thinking about it.

There’s just one complication — the dreaded

“M” word. Maintenance. Lawns to mow, gut-

ters to clean, deck repairs… yuck. This was

supposed to be relaxing.

Enter fractional ownership. This relative

newcomer to the vacation market made sig-

nifi cant inroads during the late 1990s and

early 2000s as urbanites embraced the con-

venience of a hands-off , maintenance-free

approach to recreational real estate.

Developers responded enthusiastically,

off ering a diverse range of product from

ski-oriented condos to oceanfront cottag-

es to sun-drenched Okanagan resorts. And

the best news? Maintenance, cleaning and

repairs are included in the strata fees. Your

only responsibility is

kicking back and unwinding.

But in recent years the buzz seems to have

died down, and a lot of people don’t under-

stand what fractional ownership really

means. So what exactly is it, and is it still a

good option?

What Am I Actually Buying?The concept, although simple, is still often

misunderstood. Try asking people what

“fractional ownership” means, and many of

them will say, “Oh, a timeshare.” Wrong.

A fractional home is a fully deeded prop-

erty that you can resell, mortgage or leave to

benefi ciaries, just like any other strata unit.

Units typically come fully furnished and are

most frequently off ered on a quarter-, third-

or half-share basis.

Owners have access on a rotational basis —

typically for a one-week period each month

but often two consecutive weeks during

the popular months. Many also provide an

option to put your property in a rental pool if

you’re not using it — meaning there’s poten-

tial for a revenue stream.

An Affordable OptionFractional ownership is certainly an aff ord-

able option for purchasing recreational prop-

erty — especially these days.

“Recreational property in general took a

hit during 2008/09 and is still recovering,

so there are deals out there,” says Craig

Andersen, director of sales and marketing

at Bucci Developments. He notes one Gulf

Islands project where quarter shares origi-

nally cost $100,000 or more but can now

be picked up resale for as little as $25,000.

There’s also the usage factor. “The national

average for use of a vacation property is

19 days – roughly three weeks per year,”

Andersen points out. “So why would you pay

a full-time price for a property you only use

part time? Quarter ownership gives you use

12 weeks throughout the year — still more

vacation time than most people take.”

The Inevitable DownsidesWith so much seemingly in its favour,

there are still a number of cons to frac-

tional ownership. Even though

Andersen notes that the

demographic most likely to buy a fractional

have suffi cient cash to pay in full, if you do

need fi nancing, it’s going to be tough to get.

Short version: fi nancial institutions aren’t

interested.

“I’m only aware of one bank that will fi nance

this type of purchase and it’s strictly on a

one-to-one basis,” says Alisa Aragon, mort-

gage broker with Dominion Lending Centres

Mount View. “Credit unions won’t touch

them, and even private lenders are few and

far between and often require as much as 65

per cent down.”

Factor in above-average strata fees and the

potential for further drops in value, and a

fractional second home isn’t for everyone.

But then, part of homeownership’s charm —

whether as a prime residence, second home

or investment — is that it will

never be a one-size fi ts all.

Nestled amongst the sheer beauty of the

Cascades Mountain Range, close to three

lakes and unparalleled fi shing on the Fraser

River is a unique Cottage Resort unlike any

you’ve seen.

Welcome to Bridal Falls Cottage Resort, a

year-round resort featuring superior ameni-

ties and 169 cottage lots and 34 RV lots

plumbed for natural gas.

“We are also near a world-class motor

cross facility and fabulous golf courses,”

says Ron Sturm, owner/partner in the resort.

“In addition, we are the only Cottage resort

in Canada to off er 100 AMP services.”

“What also distinguishes us from other

Cottage resorts is that we are positioned

at the centre of the Fraser Valley recreation

hub, minutes from everything you want,”

says Sy Mytting, marketing director for the

resort.

The resort has recently launched its Buy

Today, Pay in May campaign. This exclusive

off er allows you to buy your lot or cottage

now at today’s prices and not pay until May

2015. By the time summer 2015 comes,

your lot or cottage will be move-in ready.

You can own a two-bedroom cottage

with matching shed on a 2,400 square

foot lot from only $169,950 - after rebates.

Where else can you purchase a fi rst or sec-

ond accommodation for that price? Or, you

can choose to purchase a fully landscaped

RV lot with shed for $93,680 - also after

rebates.

These cottages are up to 540 square feet

and some feature fully covered decks, natu-

ral gas, a stainless steel kitchen appliance

package and bedrooms with built-in storage

above the bed and night tables. (Upgrades

include a washer and drier, skylights and

sliding patio doors.) At the epicenter of

this premier Cottage resort is the 12,000

square foot log cabin style Club House,

off ering relaxation, entertainment and plen-

ty of opportunities to spend time with your

neighbours and family. It includes a fully

equipped kitchen, dining room, 50-seat

theatre, games/cards rooms, lounge, dance

fl oor and reading/library area.

“There is also a 1,500 square foot sun

deck, looking out over the site and the pool

and a fully equipped gym,” adds Sturm.

It’s an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.

You are minutes away from numerous lakes,

rivers, including Cultus Lake and Harrison

Hot Springs, as well as golf courses, parks

and water sports facilities. In addition, you

can bike and hike for hours on the many

trails.

This is your chance to buy in a year-round

Cottage resort that off ers lots that are twice

as big as its competitors and spectacular

amenities. “We really are selling more than

a cottage or place for your RV, we are sell-

ing a lifestyle,” says Mytting. “This is truly

about community and neighbors.”

The Bridal Falls Cottage resort presen-

tation centre, located at Cheam Road,

Rosedale, is open Thursday to Monday from

11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Closed Tuesday and

Wednesday). Private showings are avail-

able by appointment, phone Sy at 604-

868-4604. You can choose from nine cus-

tom interiors and six custom fl oor plans.

There are fi ve diff erent styles on display

to choose from - Sunstone Cottage; Copper

Fern Cottage; Mica Creek Cottage; Tumbled

Quartz Cottage and the Amber Finch

Cottage. (With a couple larger new designs

coming this spring).
