Burnaby
Is Koen Worth Buying? Burnaby South Presale Review 2026
Beedie Living finally put a number on Koen: $650,000 to start. That resolves the question that's been hanging over this project since VIP registration opened.
Surrey

Metro Vancouver
The July 2026 BC Presale Watchlist
Bayside Mews in Tsawwassen now lists at $1,239,900, up from the $1,099,900 this watchlist originally tracked — a real move, and the clearest sign the lowest-ask project on this list isn't holding still.
