Concrete returns, but buyer urgency lags.
May brought the first concrete presale launch of 2026, but buyer urgency has yet to follow. Absorption remained well below historical averages, resale inventory stayed elevated, and apartment product continued to lag across both Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. While affordability is improving and detached housing is showing relative strength, confidence remains the missing p...
April continued to reflect a highly selective spring market, with presale launches remaining limited, resale inventory elevated, and rental supply steadily building across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. While townhomes continue to dominate new presale activity, overall launch volumes remain historically low as developers hold back larger condominium projects and buyers take a more cautious approach. At the same time, rent...
Q1 of 2026 has reflected a market still finding its footing, with stable interest rates, modest economic growth, and only temporary easing in inflation. Across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, buyer urgency remains limited, inventory levels are elevated, and overall activity continues to trail historical norms.
Presale launches remain constrained with March activity well below the five-year average while absorption h...
February continued to reflect a slower start to the year, with limited presale activity, elevated resale inventory, and a notable increase in rental supply across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. While townhome projects remain the primary source of new presale supply, overall activity is well below historical norms, and buyers continue to take a more measured, end-user-driven approach. At the same time, rental completions a...
January opened with steady interest rates, cautious buyers, and a continued buildup of inventory across presale, resale, and rental markets. While select end-user projects found traction, overall activity remained measured, with developers launching strategically and sellers competing aggressively on price. At the same time, rental supply continues to expand, adding another layer of complexity to the broader housing landscape.

Is the market turning a corner, or settling into a new normal?
As 2026 begins, the conversation around real estate is shifting, even if the market itself hasn’t changed overnight. Following a highly constrained 2025, presale activity hit decade lows, buyer confidence remained fragile, and inventory across resale and rental markets stayed elevated. At the same time, slower population growth, softening rents, and easing affo...
Is the market finding its footing, or simply heading into a year-end pause?
Despite stronger-than-expected GDP growth helping Canada avoid a technical recession, December’s presale market closed out the year at a standstill. With no new launches expected, zero sales recorded from November releases, and buyer hesitation lingering, developers continued to delay activity while attention shifted toward a rapidly expanding ...
Is the market finally turning a corner, or are we still in a holding pattern?
Even with back-to-back rate cuts bringing the overnight rate down to 2.25%, October’s presale activity stayed muted. Absorption remained soft, preview periods stretched longer, and developers continued to delay launches as buyers moved cautiously through a landscape shaped by elevated inventory and shaky confidence.
In this month’s Presale Pulse...
Is Canada’s housing market showing signs of life, or just catching its breath?
Despite a rate cut to 2.5%, September marked the second straight month with no new presale launches as developers held back and buyers stayed cautious.
In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer unpack what’s behind the hesitation: from softening GDP and rising unemployment to consumer confidence t...
Is the Fraser Valley signaling a sharper slowdown than Greater Vancouver? With zero new presale launches in August, the slowest in five years, and only one 66-unit project forecasted for September, developers are holding back while buyers wait and watch.
In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer break down the latest macroeconomic shifts, resale market softness, and the mounting challenges fac...
