Why Are Fraser Valley Buyers Still Waiting?


Home prices are now 26% below their 2022 peak, inventory remains above 10,000 active listings, and buyers continue to have more negotiating power than they've had in years.

 

So why are so many buyers still waiting?

 

In this Fraser Valley Market Update, I break down the latest statistics from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, including home sales, inventory levels, benchmark prices, and what today's market means if you're buying or selling in Langley and the Fraser Valley.

 

Sales have improved slightly. Prices continue to adjust. Buyers still have the advantage. So what does that really mean for you?

 

📊In this video:

  • ✔ June 2026 Fraser Valley home sales
  • ✔ Active listings and inventory levels
  • ✔ Sales-to-active listings ratio explained
  • ✔ Benchmark home price trends
  • ✔ Detached, townhouse, and condo market update
  • ✔ Average days on market ✔ What today's market means for buyers
  • ✔ What sellers need to know before listing

 

💡What this means for you:

If you're buying, this market continues to offer more selection, greater negotiating power, and prices that remain well below the 2022 peak. If you're selling, homes are still selling, but accurate pricing, strong presentation, and the right strategy are more important than ever. This isn't a market that's accelerating. It's a market creating opportunities for buyers who are prepared and sellers who understand today's conditions.

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.
