Fraser Valley Residential Real Estate: July 2017 Infographic
Consistent with a typical summer lull, the July statistics for the Fraser Valley are showing double digit decreases in sales (20-28%) and corresponding increases in inventory. For context, July 2016 (reminder: this was before the implementation of the foreign buyer tax) reported even greater decreases in sales, over 30% in townhomes and condos. The July 2017 decrease is normal for this time of year.
Consistent with the seasonal trend, July statistics also show a slight increase in days on market and a decrease in the sale price as a percent of original list price.
Despite the seasonal impact, benchmark sale prices continue to climb aggressively in all three product categories. Most notable is a 7.1% increase, month-over-month, in the benchmark price of a condo in Langley and 5% in Abbotsford. Year over year, Abbotsford condos are up nearly 38%. Detached homes across the Fraser Valley rose 3.4% and townhomes a further 4.0%, over last month.
