Summer Market Holds Steady

Sales eased slightly this week, down 6% to 245, while new listings declined 10% to 660. Despite the week-to-week dip, the overall market remains steady as we move further into the summer season.

 

Over the past several weeks, we've continued to see buyers remain active but selective. The 7.4% gap between list and sale price suggests buyers still have negotiating power, making realistic pricing more important than ever.

 

The market continues to reward accurate pricing, strong presentation, and patience. Well-priced homes are still attracting interest, while sellers who price ahead of the market are finding buyers less willing to chase. 🧊📉

SURREY, BC – A deepening buyer’s market in the Fraser Valley is giving buyers more time to make their move, as sales continued to slow in August. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 941 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in August, a 14 per cent decrease from July but one per cent above sales from the same month last year. The year-over-year increase marks only the second annual gain since the beginning of 2025, a modest bright spot in a market where overall demand remains subdued and prices continue to ease.

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.
