Filmed on location at the Movala Presentation Centre in Kelowna, this episode blends macroeconomic updates with on-the-ground insights from one of BC\u2019s most desirable summer destinations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Macroeconomy : Flatlining, Not Freefall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bank of Canada kept rates steady at 2.75% for the third time, signalling a surprisingly stable economy despite global turbulence. GDP inched down just 0.1% in May, and cautious optimism is emerging as consumers adjust. Still, new 35% US tariffs and the looming 2026 trade deal expiry could bring fresh challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Okanagan &amp; Presale Market : Demand Mismatch Persists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like Metro Vancouver, the Okanagan is seeing high inventory but softer demand. Sales are up slightly year-over-year but remain far below historical norms, with many presale projects moving only one home a month. Investor interest has faded, leaving smaller units harder to sell, while family-focused product draws attention but faces pricing hurdles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Resale Market : Summer Slowdown Continues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">July brought modest sales gains in Greater Vancouver and flat numbers in the Fraser Valley, both still below 10-year averages. Inventory remains high, and benchmark prices slipped 0.7% month-over-month in both regions. With sales-to-listings ratios firmly in buyer\u2019s market territory, conditions continue to favour those on the purchasing side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/7763850.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net\/hubfs\/7763850\/MLA%20Canada%20Corporate\/Presale%20Pulse\/MLA_MonthlyReport-Aug2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the report | watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cw1sfCoF-gs?si=NamPLkgbCak5iE58\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlacanada.com\/newsfeed\/august-2025-real-estate-market-insights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 2025 Real Estate Market Insights<\/a> by MLA Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 2025 Real Estate Market Insights Step into the August 2025 edition of Presale Pulse, where hosts Suzana Goncalves and Brittany Reimer, joined this month by Okanagan partner Taylor Musseau, &hellip;
