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 jumped 30% to 225 this week, while new listings increased 10% to 765 . That’s a noticeable improvement in buyer activity, but the continued flow of new listings means buyers still have plenty of choice. Looking at the broader trend, the market remains price-sensitive rather than competitive . The 5.7% gap between original list and sale price is right in the range we’ve seen for much of the year. The fall market is getting busier, but pricing correctly remains key for sellers.

August finished with 872 sales , down about 7% from July and just 2% below August 2025 . New listings fell to 2,281 , down 10% from July and 16% year-over-year . The key signal is that new supply is falling faster than sales . Buyers remain selective, but with fewer homes coming to market, we’ll be watching to see if that helps tighten conditions as we move into the fall market.
