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. They also explore what October’s seven new project launches could signal for the months ahead.

In this month’s Presale Pulse, Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer break down the latest macroeconomic shifts, resale market softness, and the mounting challenges facing concrete high-rise launches.
