Low Supply Continues to Affect Home Prices in the Fraser Valley

There were 1,368 real estate sales transactions during the month of July across the FVREB. This number shows that sales are slowing down from June. 274 of those sales were made across the housing spectrum in Langley.  These numbers represent a jump in sales between 16-42% from last year.

“Summer is typically a slower period for the real estate sector and the higher interest rates are contributing to the market slowdown,” said Narinder Bains, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “We’re seeing less traffic and fewer multiple offers as buyers and sellers put a pause on decisions and we expect this trend to continue until the fall cycle.”

New Listings

New listings in Langley are down 22.4% from June and up 22.7% from July 2022.

“With rates at their highest levels in over 20 years and inflation still elevated, buyers and sellers are taking time to reevaluate their objectives,” said FVREB CEO Baldev Gill. “As housing options begin to take center stage on the Provincial agenda, consumers will want to consult a professional REALTOR® for a detailed picture of the market in their communities and to stay up to date on upcoming changes that may impact their decisions.”

There were 491 active listings in Langley, in July. 184 of which were new listings for single-family homes. Across Fraser Valley in July, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 22 days. Townhomes and apartments moved slightly quicker at an average of 16 to 18 days.
