It was the busiest month of the year for launches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In October 2017, a little more than 1,600 pre-sale units were released, by MLA\u2019s count.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The annual surge, which represents more than a 40 per cent increase, comes at a time when Greater Vancouver condo prices are slumping on the resale market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In September, the benchmark price for a condo in Greater Vancouver was $837,600, down 1 percent from August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, that still puts prices up 6.4 percent from a year ago, and a longer view of prices is key to understanding why developers are forging ahead with more projects despite a recent hit to pricing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAlthough the prices are off &#8230;.. they are up year-over-year and they are up significantly from two years ago when probably most of these [developers] acquired their land,\u201d says Cameron McNeill, MLA Canada\u2019s executive director.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So while prices are cooling, the numbers can still make sense for developers to move ahead, depending on when they purchased the land.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">McNeill notes that at present it takes a minimum of two years to take a project to market in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThese long timelines commit a developer years ahead of time to move forward with a project and in most cases they can\u2019t afford to just sit and wait and watch, they have to bring it forward and do their best, given the market conditions \u2014 within reason,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2018\/10\/vancouver-condo-prices-falling-developers-launching-condos-fall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver Condo Prices Are Falling.
