Two elections, new housing proposals, and a market already navigating affordability and confidence. What could it mean for B.C. real estate? October puts housing policy front and centre, with both municipal and provincial elections on the calendar. In this month’s episode of The Pulse, Brittany Reimer, Alan He, and Ashley Judd explore the housing proposals being discussed and what changing policy could mean for buyers, developers, investors, and future housing supply. Against that backdrop, September remained exceptionally quiet for presales, resale activity showed little sign of the typical fall rebound, and more than 1,000 new purpose-built rental homes completed across the region. The team breaks down the latest across presale, resale, and rental markets, alongside the policy and economic uncertainty shaping the fall market. 📍 Filmed at Belgard Kitchen in Vancouver’s Railtown neighbourhood.

A quiet end to summer, with buyers still taking their time and rental activity picking up heading into fall. August brought just two presale launches and 76 new homes across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, well below typical levels for the month. Early sales reached approximately 3%, while September is expected to remain quiet as developers continue to take a measured approach to new releases. Resale activity also remained soft, with sales sitting below ten-year seasonal averages and inventory remaining elevated across both regions. Meanwhile, the rental market saw stronger leasing activity through August, helped in part by students getting settled ahead of the September semester. And there’s significantly more rental supply on the way. Nearly 1,300 new purpose-built rental homes are forecast to complete in September across seven projects, giving renters more choice as we head into fall. In this month’s episode of The Pulse, Brittany Reimer, Alan He, and Ashley Judd unpack the latest trends across presale, resale, and rental markets, from subdued fall launch activity and shifting resale conditions to stronger seasonal rental demand and the wave of new supply coming to market.

A quiet summer market, but strategic pricing is getting attention. July brought just three presale launches and 42 new townhomes across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Despite the limited supply, same-month absorption reached 50%, the strongest result of 2026, as smaller releases and competitive pricing helped generate buyer activity. Resale told a different story, with sales pulling back after June’s stronger performance while inventory remained well above seasonal averages. Meanwhile, rental supply continues to grow, with August expected to bring the largest monthly delivery of rental homes so far this year, giving renters more choice heading into fall. In this month’s episode of The Pulse, Brittany Reimer, Alan He, and Ashley Judd unpack the latest trends across presale, resale, and rental markets, from the impact of strategic pricing and shifting resale conditions to the growing pipeline of purpose-built rental supply. 📍 Filmed at Westview Townhomes in Central Coquitlam.

A stronger resale market, but a cautious presale story. June brought the busiest month of presale supply so far this year, with five projects launching across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Even so, buyer activity remained measured, with absorption continuing to trail historical norms as end users took their time making purchasing decisions. Meanwhile, the resale market showed encouraging signs. Sales strengthened in Greater Vancouver, inventory levels began to stabilize, and fewer new listings came to market, hinting that market conditions may finally be starting to rebalance. On the rental side, leasing activity picked up with the summer moving season, while growing supply is creating more choice for renters across both Metro Vancouver and the Okanagan. In this month’s episode of The Pulse, Brittany Reimer, Alan He, and special guest Taylor Musseau explore the latest trends shaping presale, resale, and rental markets, including Kelowna's evolving housing landscape, improving resale momentum, and how shifting rental dynamics are influencing buyer and renter behaviour across the province. 📍 Filmed at 1333 Bertram in Downtown Kelowna.

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 piece. On the rental side, supply continues to build. Four projects completed in May, with an even larger wave of new inventory expected in June, including the first completed tower at Sen̓áḵw. Despite the influx of supply, rental rates have largely stabilized, suggesting the pace of softening may finally be slowing. In this month’s episode of The Pulse, Suzana Goncalves, Brittany Reimer, and Alan He unpack the latest shifts across presale, resale, and rental markets, from the return of concrete product and evolving buyer behaviour to stabilizing rents and one of the largest rental completion months forecast this year. 📍 Filmed at Rhythm in South Surrey.

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, renters are benefiting from growing choice, competitive pricing, and a wave of new purpose-built supply entering the market. In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves, Brittany Reimer, and Alan He unpack what April’s data is revealing across presale, resale, and rental markets. From the Bank of Canada’s fourth consecutive rate hold and slowing economic momentum to softening resale pricing, constrained presale supply, and stabilizing rental rates, they explore how today’s conditions are shaping buyer, seller, and renter behaviour as we move deeper into 2026. 📍 Filmed at Bloc Residences in Downtown Vancouver.

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 has softened and developers take a more cautious approach to timing, pricing, and product. In the resale market, inventory remains high, creating a competitive environment where pricing and timing are increasingly critical. At the same time, rental supply continues to build, introducing more choice for tenants and contributing to gradual softening in rates. In this month’s episode of The Pulse, MLA Canada’s Suzana Goncalves, Brittany Reimer, and Alan He unpack the latest trends across presale, resale, and rental markets and what they signal moving forward. 📍 Filmed at Amson Bloc in Panorama Ridge, Surrey LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: April 2026 Pulse Report: https://hubs.ly/Q04bdYx40 Advisory Services and Sample Reports: https://hubs.ly/Q047K5Mq0  Contact Advisory: [email protected]  Subscribe to MLA Newswire: https://hubs.ly/Q047K4bb0  PROJECTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Stirling Block - Polygon Homes The Dunbar - Strand  Listen to our audio-only version on your favourite streaming platform:  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/real-estate-intelligent/id1569434370 iHeart Radio: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gHqFpO5hB3QFraOsxBVFsSpotify: https://hubs.ly/Q03D1XTF0...  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2b71e8ac-b6dc-4033-8cf1-e5577534789f/Real-Estate-Intelligent MLA Canada | Real Estate Intelligent 100-856 Homer St., Vancouver BC @mlacanada | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | RedBook | WeChat

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 are accelerating, creating more choice for tenants and increasing competition across the market. In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer are joined by Alan He, Director of Leasing at MLA Canada, as they unpack what February’s data is telling us across presale, resale, and rental markets. From ongoing economic uncertainty and constrained presale launches to elevated resale inventory, softening prices, and increasing rental supply, they explore how each segment of the market is evolving — and what it all signals as we move further into 2026. 📍 Filmed at Hillcrest in Abbotsford LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: March 2026 Presale Pulse Report: https://mlacanada.com/newsfeed/march-2026-the-pulse-report-a-market-in-holding-pattern-as-supply-remains-limited Advisory Services and Sample Reports: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yydj50 Contact Advisory: [email protected] Subscribe to MLA Newswire: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yydfk0 PROJECTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Hillcrest – RED Developments Listen to our audio-only version on your favourite streaming platform:  Apple: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yy1sT0...  iHeart Radio: https://hubs.ly/Q03YxY_c0...  Spotify: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yy9p50...  Amazon Music: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yy7BM0...

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. In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer unpack what the first month of 2026 is telling us. From stable monetary policy and cooling labour data to modest presale absorption, resale pricing adjustments, and the debut of our new Rental Pulse segment, they explore how each piece of the market is influencing the other — and what that interconnected view means as we head toward spring. 📍 Filmed at the Ortus Display Home in South Oak, Vancouver.

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 affordability are reshaping market dynamics heading into the year ahead. In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer reflect on the key takeaways from 2025 and break down what’s influencing the market now, from shifting immigration trends and rising rental supply to cautious developers, absent investors, and buyers holding the leverage. They also look ahead to 2026 and discuss what could spark renewed activity as sentiment slowly evolves. 📍 Filmed at the Nature Haus Display Home in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood.

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 rental market. In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer break down the mixed signals shaping today’s landscape, from resilient headline economic data and upcoming mortgage renewals to softening rents, rising incentives, and buyer leverage across both presale and resale markets. They also look ahead to early 2026 and what may be needed for confidence to return. 📍 Filmed at the Emerald Riverfront Display Home in Lions Gate Village.

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, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer break down what’s driving the pause, from cooling inflation and a new federal budget to ongoing global pressures and affordability challenges. They also look ahead to November’s expected launches and what these signals mean for the winter market. 📍 Filmed at the Florin Presentation Centre in West Coquitlam.

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 that’s yet to recover.
