What It All Means for Buyers & Sellers
For Buyers
This is a strong buyer’s market. With ample choices, slower sales, and declining prices, conditions are favourable—especially for first-time buyers who can tolerate economic uncertainties .
For Sellers
Reduced demand means listings are taking longer to move. To stand out, sellers may need to price competitively and differentiate their homes through thoughtful staging and marketing.
Looking Ahead
Economic uncertainty—driven by trade, tariffs, and broader market forces—continues to weigh on buyer confidence . The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board suggests this could be an opportune moment for policymakers to reassess current housing strategies to better align with today’s realities .

Sales: Slight monthly increase, but down annually and compared to the decade average
Inventory: Rising supply with decreasing new listings makes for a competitive buyer landscape
Pricing: Modest month-over-month dips across all housing types
Pace of Market: Homes are selling more slowly than in the past
