Cost to use a presale REALTOR®

BC presales (also called pre-construction) are pre-built homes — usually condos, townhomes, or rowhomes — sold by developers before construction is complete. Buyers reserve a unit with a deposit (typically 10–20% paid in scheduled instalments over 12–18 months), lock in today's price for completion 2–4 years out, and are protected by the BC Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA), which requires every developer to file a Disclosure Statement, holds deposits in a trust account, and gives buyers a 7-day rescission window after signing. Buyer-side REALTOR® commission on a BC presale is paid by the developer — there is no cost to work with a presale-specialized agent. This hub tracks 4 active developments across 2 cities — with floor plans, deposit structures, completion dates, and VIP access provided by Aman Nanda, REALTOR® at Century 21 Coastal Realty.

How Buying a Presale in BC Works

A presale (also called pre-construction) is a contract to purchase a home before it's built — usually a condo or townhome in a development that's still under construction or in the planning stage. You sign a contract, pay a deposit over a structured schedule, and take possession when the building completes, often 2–4 years later.

In BC, presales are governed by the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA), administered by the BC Financial Services Authority. Every development must publish a Disclosure Statement that legally binds the developer to the unit details, deposit structure, and completion timeline.

Working with a presale-specialized REALTOR® is free for buyers — commission is paid by the developer. A specialized agent shares early-release information (pricing, floor plans, deposit terms) and reviews the Disclosure Statement and contract terms before you sign.

01

Register early on the project

Early registrants on a BC presale typically get earlier release pricing and first pick of floorplans before the public sales launch.

02

Review the disclosure statement

Every BC presale comes with a legally binding Disclosure Statement. Your REALTOR® and lawyer review it before you sign.

03

Sign the contract & pay your deposit

Deposits are typically 10–20% over 12–18 months, structured as 5% on signing, then milestones at 6 / 12 / 18 months.

04

Use the rescission period

BC gives you a 7-day rescission period after signing to cancel without penalty. Use it to confirm financing and review terms.

05

Wait for completion (1–4 years)

Construction takes time. You'll get progress updates from the developer, and your REALTOR® can track the project for you.

06

Final walkthrough & completion

On completion, you do a final walkthrough, pay the remaining balance with mortgage funds, and take possession.

Frequently Asked Questions about BC Presales

The questions buyers ask most often before signing on a BC pre-construction home.

A BC presale condo (also called pre-construction) is a contract to purchase a home before it's built. Buyers reserve a unit with a deposit, lock in today's price, and take possession when the building completes — usually 2 to 4 years later. Presales in BC are governed by the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA), which requires a Disclosure Statement, holds deposits in trust, and gives buyers a 7-day rescission window after signing.
BC presale deposits typically total 10–20% of the purchase price, paid in scheduled instalments. A common structure is 5% on signing, then milestone payments at 6, 12, and 18 months. Deposits sit in a trust account under REDMA and are returned in full if you exercise your 7-day rescission. Some developments offer reduced deposits to VIP registrants — exact terms appear in each project's Disclosure Statement.
Yes — new construction in BC is subject to 5% federal GST. First-time buyers may qualify for the federal GST New Housing Rebate, which can refund up to $36,000 in combined GST and PTT savings depending on price. Use the BC GST New Home Rebate Calculator on this site to estimate your eligibility before signing.
No. Buyer-side commission on a BC presale is paid by the developer, not the buyer. Working with a presale-specialized REALTOR® is free for buyers and gets you VIP access (earlier pricing, first floor-plan selection, sometimes lower deposits) plus an independent review of the Disclosure Statement and contract.
Most BC presale contracts allow assignment (selling your contract to another buyer before completion) once a milestone deposit threshold is paid, subject to developer consent and an assignment fee — commonly $1,500 to $5,000. The federal anti-flipping rule treats sales of property held under 12 months as business income for tax purposes. The exact assignment terms are set in each development's Disclosure Statement.
Surrey, Burnaby, and Langley currently have the highest concentration of active presales in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, driven by SkyTrain extensions and new official community plans. Coverage on this site starts with Surrey (active) and is expanding to Burnaby, Langley, and Coquitlam as inventory comes online.
