Why Willoughby Langley Is One of the Strongest Investment Areas for Presales in 2025
Every investor is looking for that next growth pocket — the area that’s still affordable, developing fast, and backed by strong fundamentals.
In 2025, that place is Willoughby, Langley.
As someone who’s helped investors lock in early units across the Fraser Valley, I can tell you — Willoughby is quietly becoming the next Brentwood.
Let’s break down why.
1. The Growth Story Is Still Early
Langley is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in BC. Over the next decade, thousands of new residents will move in as the city expands north toward the new SkyTrain extension.
Willoughby is the center of it all — brand-new roads, schools, parks, and shopping hubs being built around modern condo communities. Developers are racing to secure land here because they know what’s coming.
When you combine population growth + infrastructure investment, you get one thing: appreciation.
2. Price Gap = Opportunity
Investors make money in the gap between undervalued and established markets.
Here’s the reality right now:
Willoughby presales average around $950–$1,050/sq.ft.
Coquitlam or Burnaby presales sit closer to $1,200–$1,400/sq.ft.
That’s a 15–25% price gap, and it’s closing every year.
By the time SkyTrain opens, today’s prices will look cheap.
Typical presale pricing:
1 Bed: $450K–$500K
2 Bed: $600K–$650K
Townhomes: $900K+
Low entry cost + high growth trajectory = the kind of ROI every investor wants.
3. Investor-Friendly Presale Terms
Developers in Willoughby are competing for buyers, and that’s good news for investors.
Most projects offer:
10% total deposit (split 5% now, 5% later)
Long completions (2027–2028) giving you time to build equity
Low assignment fees — typically around $1,000–$1,500
That means you can control a high-value asset for a fraction of the cost, and either assign it before completion or close with built-in equity.
4. Rentability and Tenant Demand
Langley’s rental market is booming — especially near Willoughby Town Centre and the Carvolth Transit Hub.
Average rents:
1-bed: $2,000–$2,200/month
2-bed: $2,500–$2,800/month
With population inflow, new retail, and office development, there’s consistent tenant demand from young professionals and families.
Combine that with lower vacancy and strong yield potential, and Willoughby becomes a solid long-term hold.
5. Developer Confidence = Market Strength
Some of BC’s strongest builders are active in Willoughby — and that tells you everything.
When seasoned developers commit tens of millions in construction financing during a high-rate environment, it’s a signal of long-term confidence.
These aren’t speculative builds — they’re well-planned communities backed by strong financing and reputable teams.
6. The Investor Edge in 2025
The media headlines might sound negative, but that’s exactly why smart investors act now.
Markets move in cycles — and presales let you buy in during the quiet phase before the upswing hits.
By 2027–2028, when completions align with lower interest rates and new transit connectivity, this area’s price per square foot will look like 2020 Burnaby all over again.
That’s where investors who positioned early win.
