Market Signals dashboard with sales, new listings, average price, and percent changes.

Sales dropped to 168 (-31%), while new listings eased 9% to 599, making this the quietest week we've seen in several months. The slowdown reflects the typical summer holiday season, with both buyers and sellers taking a pause.

 

Even so, the market remains balanced. The 6.7% gap between list and sale price shows buyers are still negotiating, while well-priced homes continue to attract interest.🧊📉

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.
