Is Now A Good Time to Buy Or Sell In The Fraser Valley?

Post Image

You’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times… there are many advantages to making a move in the spring; which is easily considered the busiest time of year to buy or sell a home!

As the weather warms up here in the Fraser Valley, more and more of our friends, family, and clients are asking us…
“Is now a good time to buy or sell?”

If you’ve been following the media headlines here in the Fraser Valley, you may be aware that our Spring market was off to a slow start this year; we experienced a 26.6 per cent decline over March 2018 – representing the weakest March since 2013 – but the “spring” in sales from February to March indicates a positive spring market ahead.

The benchmark price of a detached home in the valley sat at $963,100 in March, down 4.2 per cent over March 2018 but up 0.4 per cent from February.

For condos, the benchmark price sat at $418,000, down 5.1 per cent from March 2018 but up two per cent from February.

So what does all of this mean for buyers and sellers?

We thought we’d give you the same “intel” here that we’re sharing with our clients (and yep, everyone who asks us in the grocery store – seriously, it’s why we’re always forgetting what we were sent in for, right Tony?)
It’s an ideal time to be a buyer in the Fraser Valley – you’ve got plenty of inventory to choose from, which means you’ll be less likely to go into a bidding war situation, and you may even have some flexibility on your closing terms and conditions.
