Fraser Valley January 2023 FEATURED Residential Market STATISTICS

• The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded a notable increase in sales and new listings in February, indicating a growing level of interest and activity in the real estate market. This trend is a positive sign and suggests that the real estate market in the Fraser Valley is becoming more active. The rise in sales and listings may also result in more competition among buyers, leading to an upward pressure on prices in the future.
• The high sales-to-active listings ratio for townhomes, which indicates a seller’s market for this category, is reflective of strong demand for townhomes in the Fraser Valley. This trend could be driven by factors such as the relatively lower cost of townhomes compared to detached homes, as well as the increasing popularity of townhome living in urban areas. As such, buyers may need to act quickly and be prepared to make competitive offers to secure a townhome in this market. For sellers, this presents an opportunity to potentially command higher prices for their townhomes due to high demand and low supply.
• The composite benchmark price for all property types remains relatively flat compared to January, showing only a slight gain of 0.5%. This is an encouraging sign that the market may be entering a more balanced phase, following a downward trend that began in April 2022.

HPI Benchmark Prices

The Home Price Index (HPI) measures the price of a benchmark, or typical, property in a given market and is not influenced by the change in composition of properties sold, which can fluctuate quite significantly from month to month. As a result, this metric is a more pure and stable representation of market price change than average or median prices.

Sales • New Listings • Active Listings
