The Pulse: June 2026 Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley

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.
