Presale investors remain on the sidelines with no clear path forward \u2013 prices remain sticky due to underlying costs and buyers have ample choice, leading to the utmost patience in many instances.&#8221; &#8211; Garde MacDonald, Director of Advisory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Presale Launches Remain Steady While Sales Continue to Dip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">June saw twelve presale launches, releasing 1,810 units into the market, with notable projects such as Ironwood in Coquitlam and Ksana in Port Moody seeing steady demand. Despite challenging headwinds, presale launch activity has surprisingly remained stable, matching levels of released inventory in 2023. The Fraser Valley, particularly Surrey and Langley, continues to be a hotspot with eight new launches. However, same-month absorption rates were around 16%, consistent with May&#8217;s figures but marking the slowest early absorption since early 2020. The market faces ongoing challenges, and with homebuyers grappling with high prices and investors uncertain about the long-term growth potential in less active markets, market activity is likely to remain low.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>MLA Blackbook : Reflection on The First Half of 2024 and The Direction for H2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the first half of 2024, 68 presale projects launched across the Lower Mainland, introducing nearly 8,600 units and achieving a sales rate of approximately 33% with 2,824 homes sold. The market shift towards end-users, due to a decline in presale investors, has increased demand for well-amenitized, well-located homes larger than one-bedroom units. Surrey, Langley, and Coquitlam led the market, accounting for over half of the launches during this period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the year progresses, MLA Advisory maintains its forecast from the 2024 MLA Intel publication, predicting about 42 more project launches in the second half, totalling 110 for the year. While this reflects a 17% increase from 2023, it remains 15-25% below the activity seen in 2021 and 2022. Sales velocities are slow, and sales campaigns are longer, suggesting increased market competition and inventory accumulation until broader recovery is expected with rate improvements by late 2025 to 2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>July Presale Launches Flatten<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MLA Advisory is forecasting seven presale launches in July, bringing 950 units to the market. This number still exceeds the six launches that came to market in July 2023. Major launches include Bridge City in Surrey Centre, which began writing at the beginning of the month, and The Three Summits by Polygon in Squamish. Additionally, M6 by Jim Pattison is expected to be the latest concrete development on Vancouver\u2019s east side of Main and West 6th.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/7763850.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net\/hubfs\/7763850\/MLA%20Canada%20Corporate\/MLA%20Corporate%20Files\/MLA_MonthlyReport-July2024.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the report.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlacanada.com\/newsfeed\/july-2024-presale-report-market-headwinds-persist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 2024 Presale Report : Market Headwinds Persist<\/a> by MLA Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWith market headwinds persisting, abnormally soft (sub 20%) presale absorption has occurred for two consecutive months within new project launches;
