Vancouver Developers in Serious Trouble | Here's Why

What’s happening in Vancouver’s pre-sale condo market is bigger than most people realize — and the fallout is already reshaping Greater Vancouver real estate. Right now, 2,500–3,500 brand-new condos across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, and the Fraser Valley are sitting completely empty. Developers are cancelling projects, returning deposits, slashing prices, and even entering foreclosure. This unreported “shadow inventory” is the largest oversupply we’ve seen in 25 years — and it’s not showing up in the monthly stats from REBGV or FVREB. In this video, I break down: • Why Vancouver developers are in trouble • How cheap pandemic-era lending created this inventory pileup • The neighborhoods hit hardest (Brentwood, Burquitlam, Surrey Central, Willoughby) • Why pre-sale pricing completely disconnected from resale values • What incentives and discounts developers are offering right now • How buyers can negotiate aggressively in today’s market • What this means for Greater Vancouver real estate moving forward If you’re buying or selling in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Richmond, or the Fraser Valley, you need to understand how this pre-sale crisis will shape prices, inventory, and opportunities over the next few years. 📍 Based in Greater Vancouver 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Vancouver real estate breakdowns, BC market updates, and no-BS analysis. 00:00 – Vancouver Pre-Sale Crisis: Why It’s Bigger Than People Think 00:40 – Shadow Inventory Explained in Greater Vancouver & Fraser Valley 01:16 – CHMC + Rennie Data: 2,500–3,500 Empty Condos in BC 01:33 – Oversupply Hotspots: Burquitlam, Brentwood, Willoughby, Surrey Central 02:07 – Investor-Grade Condos Sitting Empty Across Metro Vancouver 02:30 – Why Pre-Sale Pricing Disconnected from Reality (2020–2022) 03:02 – Pandemic FOMO, Cheap Money, and Developer Over-Borrowing 03:43 – Investor Shift: Rising Rates, Doubling Carrying Costs, Rental Pressure 04:31 – Metro Vancouver Rental Market Slowdown & Demand Collapse 04:35 – Developer Reaction: Cancellations, Refunds, Mothballing, Rentals 05:00 – Incentives Surge: Discounts, Rate Buy-Downs, Parking, Storage, Cash Back 05:38 – Surrey 25% Off Flash Sale: What It Means for Buyers Today 05:58 – The Real Systemic Risk: Construction Slowdown & BC Labour Market Impact 06:31 – Economic Ripple Effect Across Trades, Cities, and Development 06:52 – Standoff: Developers vs Buyers in Greater Vancouver 07:10 – Appraisal Gaps and 2021 Pricing Collisions 07:34 – Why Resale Condos Offer Better Value in Today’s Market 08:00 – Buyer Leverage in Metro Vancouver: Best in Over a Decade 08:21 – How Buyers Should Play This Market (Completed Inventory Strategy) 08:45 – Negotiation Power: Credits, Upgrades, Lower Deposits, Rate Guarantees 09:24 – Why New Pre-Sales Aren’t Discounting Like Completed Units 09:58 – Next 12–24 Months: What’s Coming for BC’s Condo Market 10:20 – Fewer Launches, More Rentals, Developer Consolidation, Bankruptcies 10:52 – Rising Construction Costs & Developer Survival Mode 11:04 – Multi-Year Correction Ahead for Investor-Grade Condos 11:28 – Livable Resale Condos Holding Value in Greater Vancouver 11:38 – Final Breakdown: How This Will Reshape Metro Vancouver Real Estate 11:48 – Buyer Advice: Act Smart, Use Leverage, Make Data-Backed Decisions 12:00 – Closing Thoughts & Vancouver Market Insight from Blake Chancey
