Yes Virginia, there are still lineups
For those of you out there wondering how the presale market is doing I bring you this:

This is the scene outside 1212 Howe at 8:30am on Thursday, May 8th. People started arriving on Wednesday around 5pm and camped out over night for a shot at some of the most attractively priced, best located units in the city. Talking to some folk here reveals realtors holding spots for up to 10 clients, first time home buyers, and those looking to move into what they perceive a better location. The lineup0 is about 24 deep right now and expected grow up to start of sales at 5pm.
Yes, I am in line. Have been since 8:00am when I took over for my client. That’s just how we roll. When you want something you do not let anything stop you. Weather is supposed to be sunnyish with a high of 15C today and I got wifi net connection so it’s all good.
Besides, there’s a camaraderie amongst those in line sharing stories, meeting new neighbours, sharing bathroom/coffee/boredom breaks. And a good portion of us have our computers out and are actually getting work done while we listen to the banging of construction across the street at Alto and the work being done on 1212.
If you’re in the neighbourhood stop by and say hi!
Vancouver, BC
