“The Fraser Valley spring market has underperformed expectations despite improving affordability and more choice for buyers,” said Ishaq Ismail, chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “Opportunities are clearly there. The question is whether qualified buyers on the sidelines recognize the value available today. For those looking to enter the market or move up, current conditions present a compelling opportunity.”

Fraser Valley home prices drop in June, but buyers still holding back: FVREB

1h ago

The Fraser Valley from Abbotsford to White Rock enters the summer market with 10,377 active listings, recording a level of supply that continues to keep competition in check and create favourable conditions for buyers.

With a sales-to-active listings ratio of 11 per cent in June, the Fraser Valley remains in buyer’s market territory. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.

“Buyers are still holding back despite some improving conditions,” said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “The recent agreement between Build Canada Homes and BC Housing may help add supply and improve access to ownership, however, with details still unclear it’s difficult to assess the practical impact for buyers.”

Across the Fraser Valley in June, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 37 days, while for a townhome, it was 33 days. Condos took, on average, 38 days to sell.
