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.
