   Fraser Valley Housing Market Statistics - September 2026  


More choice, lower prices giving hesitant Fraser Valley homebuyers options

 

Fraser Valley home buyers remained cautious despite continued weakening prices, as September sales failed to keep pace with the seasonal rise in new listings.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 922 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in September, a two per cent decrease from August and four per cent below sales from the same month last year. Subdued demand continues to weigh on prices, with the composite Benchmark price for a typical Fraser Valley home falling one per cent in September and seven per cent from one year ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Prices continue to soften, with some areas of the Fraser Valley seeing more significant declines,” said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “The Benchmark price for a single-family home is now $460,000 below its March 2022 peak. For buyers who are in a position to act, this represents a significant shift in affordability and may create an opportunity for some households to move into a different segment of the market.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a quieter summer, more sellers returned to the market in September, bringing 2,818 new listings, up 19 per cent from August, but 18 per cent below the same month last year. Overall inventory remained unchanged in September, with 9,763 active listings on the market, a 0.2 per cent decline from August, but still 31 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average.

 

The Fraser Valley has spent most of the last two years in a buyer’s market with no change in September. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Buyers have been waiting for months for greater economic certainty,” said Anthony Boone, Interim CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “But a succession of economic shocks have conspired to weigh on consumer confidence, keeping many buyers on the sidelines. Despite lower prices and more choice, buyers remain cautious, and that is being reflected in the pace of sales.”

 

Across the Fraser Valley in September, the average number of days to sell a condo was 46 days, while a

single-family detached home was 45 days. Townhomes took, on average, 38 days to sell.

  Fraser Valley Housing Market Statistics - August 2026  



Fraser Valley sellers feel the squeeze as buyers take their time

 

A deepening buyer’s market in the Fraser Valley is giving buyers more time to make their move, as sales continued to slow in August.

 

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 941 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in August, a 14 per cent decrease from July but one per cent above sales from the same month last year. The year-over-year increase marks only the second annual gain since the beginning of 2025, a modest bright spot in a market where overall demand remains subdued and prices continue to ease.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We’re seeing a bit of a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers right now,” said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “Some buyers are seeing an opportunity to negotiate below asking price, while sellers who need to sell are more likely to accept lower offers. That dynamic is contributing to the gradual decline in home prices we are seeing across the Fraser Valley, which ultimately creates more opportunities for those looking to get into the market.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

The summer slowdown was also reflected in fewer homes coming to market, as some sellers held off on listing. The Fraser Valley saw 2,373 new listings in August—a 16 per cent decline from July and 15 per cent below the same month last year. Overall inventory also edged down in August, with 9,787 active listings on the market, a three per cent decline from July, but still 33 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average.

 

The Fraser Valley remains in a buyer’s market with a sales-to-active listings ratio of 10 per cent in August. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.

 

“While some buyers remain on the sidelines amid headlines about tariffs and high gas prices, the Fraser Valley housing market continues to offer some compelling choices hiding in plain sight,” said Anthony Boone, Interim CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “Prices are now as much as 15 per cent lower than they were three years ago, and these conditions are expected to continue to favour buyers for the foreseeable future.”

 

Across the Fraser Valley in August, the average number of days to sell both a single-family detached home and a condo was 45 days. Townhomes took, on average, 37 days to sell.

 

The composite Benchmark price for a typical Fraser Valley home declined 0.9 per cent in August to $869,900, a seven per cent decrease compared to August 2025.

  Fraser Valley Housing Market Statistics - July 2026  


Improving affordability continues to outpace buyer demand

 

Fraser Valley home prices continued to edge downward in July, with the composite Benchmark price down 0.8 per cent from June and down seven per cent year-over-year. Despite improving affordability, buyers remained cautious, keeping sales well below typical seasonal levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 1,089 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in July, a five per cent decrease from June and nine per cent below the same month last year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Buyer urgency has been notably absent from the Fraser Valley market for some time now," said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. "With inventory remaining high and competition subdued, buyers know they don't have to rush. They can take their time evaluating their options, knowing they can return to a market that continues to offer plenty of choice."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seller activity slowed in July, with 2,836 new listings coming to market—a 14 per cent decline from June and 18 per cent below the same month last year. Overall inventory also edged down in July, with 10,044 active listings on the market, a three per cent decline from June, but still 32 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average.

 

The Fraser Valley remains in a buyer’s market with a sales-to-active listings ratio of 11 per cent in July. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.

 

"Economic uncertainty continues to influence buying decisions, but the Fraser Valley has remained one of the Lower Mainland’s brightest spots for improving affordability," said Anthony Boone, Interim CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. "As home prices continue to ease, qualified buyers are finding opportunities that simply weren't available a few years ago, particularly those looking to enter the market or downsize."

 

Across the Fraser Valley in July, the average number of days to sell both a single-family detached home and a townhome was 40 days. Condos took, on average, 46 days to sell.

 

The composite Benchmark price for a typical Fraser Valley home in July was $877,600.
