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.
