While overall sales decreased compared to August, total sales reached the second\u2010highest levels for the month of September in the 100\u2010year history of the Board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Board processed a total of 1,866 property sales on its Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in September, a decrease of 10.6% compared to August and a 16.4% decrease compared to the same month last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Larry Anderson, President of the Board, said, \u201cWhile we\u2019ve seen a solid increase in new listings compared to August, market conditions continue to be challenging for buyers. Considering the demand across the region, the increase is simply not enough to bolster the inventory required to create greater balance in the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDemand for residential homes of all types is strong in the Fraser Valley with more sellers returning to the table in September, which is expected at this time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In September, the Board received 2,342 new listings, a decrease of 33.4% compared to last year, and an increase of 11.2% compared to August 2021. The month ended with a total active inventory of 3,812, which is a 6.5% decrease compared to August, and a 48.3% decrease compared to September 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Baldev Gill, Chief Executive Officer of the Board, added, \u201cThe pandemic continues to have an impact on current conditions and while the market remains steady, we are sensitive to ongoing health and safety concerns. Our members follow stringent protocols as mandated by the Public Health Officer, and we will continue to lead by example for the benefit of our members and their clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across Fraser Valley, in September, the average number of days to sell a single\u2010family detached home was 26 and a townhome was 19 days.
