🏡 Rising sales and price gains hint at stability in the Fraser Valley housing market 📉

May 4, 2026

SURREY, BC  – For the first time in more than a year, Fraser Valley home sales recorded a year-over-year increase, with activity also rising month-over-month as the spring market begins to show renewed activity.   The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 1,118 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in April, an 11 percent increase from March and seven percent above the same month last year.

Sellers continued to enter the spring market, with new listings rising six per cent from March to 3,549 — still above seasonal norms, but lower than this time last year.

“Market activity is picking up as we move through the spring, but overall conditions remain firmly in buyers’ favour,” said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “With inventory at healthy levels and housing affordability improving, buyers continue to have the advantage, although confidence remains tempered by ongoing economic uncertainty and persistent market headwinds.”

Overall inventory remains elevated in the Fraser Valley, with 9,816 active listings, up 7 percent from March and 45 percent above the 10-year seasonal average.   The Fraser Valley remains in a buyer’s market, with an overall sales-to-active-listings ratio of 11 percent in April. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 percent.   “Current conditions are creating a more favourable buying environment than we’ve seen in recent years,” said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “Buyers would be well-advised to consult with a REALTOR® to time their purchases to maximize the benefits of lower home prices while taking advantage of current borrowing costs.”

Across the Fraser Valley in April, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 37 days, while for a townhome it was 32 days. Condos took, on average, 42 days to sell.   For the second month in a row, the composite Benchmark price for a typical home in the Fraser Valley increased, up 0.1 percent in April, to $899,200.

MLS® HPI Benchmark Price Activity  
  • Single Family Detached:  At $1,374,800, the Benchmark price for an FVREB single-family detached home decreased 0.1 percent compared to March 2026 and decreased 8.8 percent compared to April 2025.

  • Townhomes:  At $771,600, the Benchmark price for an FVREB townhome decreased 0.1 percent compared to March 2026 and decreased 7.4 percent compared to April 2025.

  • Apartments:  At $491,000, the Benchmark price for an FVREB apartment/condo increased 0.4 per cent compared to March 2026 and decreased 8.3 percent compared to April 2025.

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.
