Vancouver micro-markets

Neighbourhoods are the market.

Vancouver is not one price trend. It is a set of micro-markets with different buyer pools and different mistakes — and a pipeline of new construction that never makes it onto the public portals.

New construction

Presale and move-in ready.

A presale is a contract for a home that does not exist yet. Move-in ready means you can see it, finance it, and take possession. They are different purchases with different risks — these are the ones being tracked right now.

Before you sign

Presale is a contract, not a condo.

Deposits, assignment rules, completion delays, and the disclosure statement decide whether a presale is a good buy. The seven-day rescission period is where the reading gets done.
