The Pre-Sale Advantage
Secure Your Home Early
In Vancouver's competitive market, buying from a developer before a home is built locks in your purchase early, guaranteeing you a property before the general public even knows about it.
Brand-New Property
Be the first owner of your home with brand new appliances, fixtures, and modern amenities that align with today's lifestyle needs.
Customization Options
Many developers allow you to choose finishes, colors, and even adjust floor plans, giving you the opportunity to personalize your future home.
Potential Appreciation
If the real estate market rises during construction, your property might appreciate significantly by completion, building instant equity.
Developer Incentives
Early buyers often receive special incentives like discounted prices, upgrades, or flexible deposit structures that aren't available to the general public.
Time to Prepare
With completion typically a few years away, you have ample time to organize your move, sell your existing property, or arrange your finances without pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
A presale property is a new development that's purchased before it's completed or sometimes even before construction begins. When you buy a presale, you're entering into a contract to purchase a property that will be delivered at a future date, typically 2-4 years later. This includes condos, townhomes, and sometimes single-family homes in new developments.
VIP presales are invitation-only events that take place before a development is marketed to the general public. These opportunities typically offer several advantages: first choice of units, better pricing, exclusive incentives (like discounted parking or upgraded finishes), and more flexible deposit structures. Developers offer these benefits to secure early sales and project momentum.
Deposit structures vary by developer and project but typically range from 15-25% of the purchase price, paid in installments. For example, you might pay 5% upon signing, another 5% after 30 days, and the remaining 10% a few months later. VIP buyers often have access to more favorable deposit terms than those offered during public sales.
The main risks include potential construction delays, project cancellations, market fluctuations between purchase and completion, and the challenge of visualizing the final product from floor plans. Working with an experienced presale specialist and focusing on reputable developers can significantly mitigate these risks.
You don't need mortgage approval at the time of purchase, just the ability to make the deposit payments. Your mortgage will be arranged closer to completion. Many major banks offer rate holds for presale buyers, allowing you to secure today's interest rates for a period (usually 1-2 years). If rates go down by completion, you can still take advantage of the lower rates.
This is called an "assignment" and depends on the terms in your purchase contract. Most developers allow assignments but charge a fee (typically 1-2% of the purchase price). Some projects restrict assignments or have blackout periods. As your presale specialist, I can help you understand the assignment terms before you purchase and assist with selling your contract if needed later.
