June 2019 Market Stats

August 23, 2022 | Posted by: Michele Cummins

The Statistics for June 2019 in the Fraser Valley are in and it looks like a game of wait and see. Across the board, sales are well below (-29.3%) the 10 year average, but the number of new listings also are down (-9.6%) compared to the 10 year average. The amount of Active listings continues to stay high with a 19.3% increase over last year, but only a 0.1% increase over May. 

Darin Germyn, President of the Board comments 'This has created a great opportunity for buyers in the Fraser Valley. Inventory overall is growing; prices of benchmark, or typical homes, have decreased 6 to 10 per cent over the past year and interest rates are still holding firm.'

While the Fraser Valley as a whole is firmly in a balanced market, certain areas and types of homes are on different ends of the spectrum. It's a buyers market for detached homes in S. Surrey / White Rock, while it's getting close to being a sellers market in for townhouses in Langley.
