Infographic: Fraser Valley Residential Real Estate January 2023

The real estate market in the Fraser Valley is experiencing a slow start to 2023, with fewer transactions being processed through the MLS® and a dip in HPI Benchmark home prices. Despite the low levels of new listings, which hit a 30 year low for the month of January, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board remains optimistic about the market outlook. The board anticipates a return to the traditional, seasonal activity of the market in the spring.

While the low inventory of available homes may lead to an increase in prices, it also presents a challenge for homebuyers who may find it difficult to find a suitable property to purchase. Nevertheless, the stability provided by the Bank of Canada’s decision to pause rate increases is providing more certainty for both home buyers and sellers, which may result in prices finding a more stable footing. As the market continues to evolve, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board is confident that it will remain a strong and dynamic market for homeowners.
