Burnaby Coverage Launching Soon

We're actively building out the Burnaby presale database. The notify form on this page goes directly to Aman Nanda — submit it and you'll get an email when new Burnaby developments are added.

In the meantime, here's how Burnaby fits into the broader BC presale market and what to know before you start looking:

  • REDMA protections apply equally in Burnaby as in Surrey or Vancouver — every development files a Disclosure Statement, deposits sit in a trust account, and you have a 7-day rescission window to cancel after signing.
  • Buyer commission is paid by the developer — there's no cost to work with a Metro Vancouver-area REALTOR® on any BC presale, including ones outside our current coverage cities.
  • GST applies to all BC new construction — 5% on top of the purchase price. First-time buyers may qualify for the federal GST New Housing Rebate (up to $36,000 in combined GST and PTT savings).
  • Surrey is currently the most active coverage city — browse Surrey presales for an example of the level of detail we'll bring to Burnaby once coverage launches.

Frequently Asked Questions about Burnaby Presales

Common questions about buying a presale condo or townhome in Burnaby, BC.

A presale condo in Burnaby is a pre-construction unit sold by a developer before the building 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 benefit from the BC Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA), which requires the developer to file a Disclosure Statement and grants buyers a 7-day rescission window after signing.
Coverage of Burnaby presales is launching soon. Submit the notify form to be among the first to know when new Burnaby developments are added.
BC presale deposits are typically structured as 10–20% of the purchase price, paid in scheduled instalments — commonly 5% on signing, then milestone payments at 6, 12, and 18 months. Deposits are held in a trust account under REDMA. Some Burnaby 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 on top of the purchase price. 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 exact savings, and verify final eligibility with your accountant before signing.
Most BC presale contracts allow assignment (selling your contract to another buyer before completion) once a milestone deposit threshold is reached, subject to developer consent and an assignment fee (commonly $1,500–$5,000). The federal anti-flipping rule treats sales of property held under 12 months as business income for tax purposes — talk to your accountant before assigning. The exact assignment terms are set in the developer's Disclosure Statement for each project.
No — buyer-side commission on a BC presale is paid by the developer, not by you. Working with a presale-specialized REALTOR® is free for buyers and gets you VIP access (earlier pricing, first floor-plan selection, lower deposits in some cases) plus an independent review of the Disclosure Statement and contract before you sign.
