What this means for you

Of the 39,385 concrete homes expected to complete between 2019-23, 82% have already been sold. Although sub-markets such as Abbotsford and East Vancouver have the highest percentage of homes already sold (at 91% and 88% respectively), opportunities still exist, especially in North Vancouver and in Richmond (with only 70% and 66% of homes completing by 2023, respectively, having already been sold). 

In terms of contemplated concrete product, Burnaby leads the way with 30,895 potential future homes coming to market, while Coquitlam/Port Moody has the second most with 21,577. Port Coquitlam (47 homes), Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge (397), and Langley/Cloverdale (718) have relatively few contemplated projects in the pipeline, and no concrete homes completing within the next 5 years.
