Buyer Activity Bounces Back
Andy Schildhorn • August 29, 2026
Sales rebounded sharply this week to 262 (+46%), while new listings declined 7% to 553. After two quieter weeks, buyers clearly stepped back into the market, and the gap between original list and sale price narrowed to 5.3%.
Looking at the year so far, the pattern remains consistent. Weekly sales have been volatile, but buyers remain selective and price-conscious. The sale-to-list gap has generally stayed in the 5% to 7% range, giving buyers room to negotiate. As we approach September, the question is whether this rebound carries into the fall market.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 922 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in September, a two per cent decrease from August and four per cent below sales from the same month last year. Subdued demand continues to weigh on prices, with the composite Benchmark price for a typical Fraser Valley home falling one per cent in September and seven per cent from one year ago.
