EPISODE #93: FALL LANDSCAPE: OIL SHOCKS, AND RISING YIELDS, AND NO MORE PRE-SALE, OH MY! The Fall 2026 rennie Landscape is here, and if there's one word to sum it up, it’s whiplash. Ryan Berlin (Vice President of Intelligence and Chief Economist) and Ryan Wyse (Market Intelligence Manager and Lead Analyst) walk through what’s shaping the market right now: a labour market that has improved partly because the bar got lower, an oil shock pushing inflation back past 3%, and rising bond yields lifting mortgage rates even as the Bank of Canada holds. They also explain why Metro Vancouver’s condo market is now a new-home market rather than a pre-sale one, and what record rental supply, mounting unsold inventory, and the townhome’s rise mean for buyers, renters, and developers.
