As we move deeper into spring, the Fraser Valley real estate market continues to evolve—and buyers are finding themselves in an increasingly advantageous position. With inventory levels soaring and prices holding steady, the conditions are ripe for those looking to make a move.
Inventory Hits a Decade-High
For the first time in over 10 years, active listings across the Fraser Valley surpassed 10,000 homes. That level of selection is giving buyers something we haven’t seen in a long time: time and leverage.
“A buyer might see a home they like and then have the opportunity to tour five or ten more just like it, without feeling rushed to make an immediate offer.”
— Tore Jacobsen, FVREB Chair
Even with more listings available, sales remained sluggish, with only 1,043 homes sold in April—up just 1% from March and down 29% year-over-year. This disconnect signals a true buyer’s market, with a sales-to-active listings ratio sitting at 10% (a balanced market typically ranges between 12–20%).
