Fraser Valley Housing Market Statistics - October 2025

October brings welcome boost to Fraser Valley, but sales still lag seasonal averages

Fraser Valley home sales climbed for the second straight month in October, a sign that some buyers may be responding to steadily easing prices.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 1,123 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in October, a 17 per cent increase from September, but 16 per cent below sales from the same month last year.

After a short-lived rise in September, new listings slowed in October, down 14 per cent month-over-month and seven per cent year-over-year, to 2,967. Overall inventory remains well above seasonal norms for the Fraser Valley, with 10,121 active listings, down four per cent from September but up 15 per cent year-over-year.

“Motivated sellers are responding to increasingly competitive market conditions with more realistic pricing strategies,” said Tore Jacobsen, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “As a result, we’re seeing prices soften—a shift that’s helping to facilitate sales in a slower market.”

The Fraser Valley remains firmly in a buyer’s market, with an overall sales-to-active listings ratio of 11 per cent in October, up from nine per cent in September. The modest increase reflects a rise in sales alongside a slight decline in inventory. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.

Across the Fraser Valley in October, the average number of days to sell both a single-family detached home and a condo was 42 days; while for a townhome it was 37 days.

“While these early signs are encouraging, the path back to seasonal average sales levels will take time,” said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “As more new supply comes on stream and sellers adapt to the shifting dynamics, we expect the market to respond accordingly.”

The composite Benchmark price for a typical home in the Fraser Valley decreased 0.7 per cent in October, to $919,900.

Fraser Valley Housing Market Statistics - September 2025

Sustained elevated inventories soften Fraser Valley home prices further, spurring bump in sales

Home prices in the Fraser Valley continued their downward trend in September, marking the sixth straight month of declines, amid high inventory.

The Benchmark price for a typical home in the Fraser Valley dropped one per cent in September to $926,300, down 5.4 per cent year-over-year. The continued softening of prices may be encouraging some buyers back into the market, as the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 962 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in September, an increase of three per cent over August. September sales were down two per cent year-over-year and 28 per cent below the 10-year average.

“As prices continue to weaken, the market is showing hopeful signs of renewed confidence,” said Tore Jacobsen, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “While recent economic uncertainty seems to have weighed more heavily here in the Fraser Valley, some buyers are beginning to re-engage in the market, a positive signal heading into the fall.”

After sitting out for part of the summer, sellers reemerged in September, with new listings up 23 per cent month-over-month to 3,447; up three per cent year-over-year. Overall inventory remains at decade-high levels, with 10,583 active listings, up one per cent from August and up 17 per cent from September 2024.

The Fraser Valley remains entrenched in a buyer’s market with an overall sales-to-active listings ratio of nine per cent in September. The market is considered balanced when the ratio is between 12 per cent and 20 per cent.

Across the Fraser Valley in September, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 37 days; while for a townhome it was 38 days. Condos took, on average, 39 days to sell.

“It is unreasonable to single out any one factor or policy driving today’s market dynamics,” said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “That said, there is a growing consensus within the housing and development sector calling for greater measures to incentivize investors to help drive new supply growth, which would certainly have a positive impact on affordability.”
