The Pulse: May 2026 Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley

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.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:May 2026 Pulse Report: https://hubs.ly/Q04gsrRg0Advisory Services and Sample Reports: https://hubs.ly/Q047K5Mq0 Contact Advisory: advisory@mlacanada.com Subscribe to MLA Newswire: https://hubs.ly/Q047K4bb0 PROJECTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Rhythm – Isle of Mann & Pollyco Group of CompaniesListen to our audio-only version on your favourite streaming platform: Apple: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yy1sT0... iHeart Radio: https://hubs.ly/Q03YxY_c0...

April 2026 Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Pulse

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, SurreyLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:April 2026 Pulse Report: https://hubs.ly/Q04bdYx40Advisory Services and Sample Reports: https://hubs.ly/Q047K5Mq0 Contact Advisory: advisory@mlacanada.com Subscribe to MLA Newswire: https://hubs.ly/Q047K4bb0 PROJECTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Stirling Block - Polygon HomesThe Dunbar - Strand Listen to our audio-only version on your favourite streaming platform: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/real-estate-intelligent/id1569434370iHeart Radio: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gHqFpO5hB3QFraOsxBVFsSpotify: https://hubs.ly/Q03D1XTF0...

March 2026 Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Presale Pulse

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 AbbotsfordLINKS 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-limitedAdvisory Services and Sample Reports: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yydj50 Contact Advisory: advisory@mlacanada.com Subscribe to MLA Newswire: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yydfk0 PROJECTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Hillcrest – RED DevelopmentsListen to our audio-only version on your favourite streaming platform: Apple: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yy1sT0... iHeart Radio: https://hubs.ly/Q03YxY_c0...

February 2026 Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Presale Pulse

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.

January 2026 Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Presale Pulse

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.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: January 2026 Presale Pulse Report: https://mlacanada.com/newsfeed/january-2026-presale-report-what-todays-constraints-mean-for-tomorrows-opportunitiesAdvisory Services and Sample Reports: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yydj50 Contact Advisory: advisory@mlacanada.com Subscribe to MLA Newswire: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yydfk0 Listen to our audio-only version on your favourite streaming platform: Apple: https://hubs.ly/Q03Yy1sT0... iHeart Radio: https://hubs.ly/Q03YxY_c0...
