Cool summer market persists in Fraser Valley with second slowest July sales in a decade
“Amidst an overall balanced market, some REALTORS® are experiencing pockets within the Fraser Valley that favour buyers, where prices have come down,” said Jeff Chadha, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “This is evident in the amount of time buyers have to view a property before considering making an offer. Properties that are well-priced are selling quickly, suggesting motivated buyers are active in the market despite the slowdown.”
“Despite back-to-back policy rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, many first-time homebuyers are still facing challenging market conditions — high interest rates, the mortgage stress test and the need for a substantial down payment,” said FVREB CEO, Baldev Gill. “While we wait for the rate cuts to take effect, we encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to speak with a professional REALTOR®, who has the knowledge and expertise to navigate the current market.”
