While March sales activity picked up over the previous month, year-over-year sales throughout the first quarter of 2026 continue to stumble, reflecting a market where buyer caution still lingers.<br \/>\nThe Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 1,007 sales on its Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in March, a 20% increase from February, but 3% below the same month last year and 42% below the ten-year seasonal average. After a decline in February, new listings increased in March, up 20% to 3,341, suggesting some sellers are eager to get ahead of the spring market despite sales activity remaining soft and well below typical seasonal levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019re encouraged to see early signs of prices levelling off in the Fraser Valley,\u201d said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. \u201cWhile sales remain below last year\u2019s levels, this market is presenting a rare window \u2014 with greater choice, improved affordability, and meaningful incentives, particularly in the condo segment \u2014 for buyers who are ready to make a move with the right professional guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall inventory remains elevated in the Fraser Valley, with 9,201 active listings, up 10% from February and 50% above the 10-year seasonal average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Fraser Valley remains in a buyer\u2019s market, with an overall sales-to-active listings ratio of 11% in March. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12% and 20%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across the Fraser Valley in March, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 39 days, while for a condo it was 43 days. Townhomes took, on average, 36 days to sell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAmid economic uncertainty and rising day-to-day costs, many households are understandably taking a more cautious approach to their finances,\u201d said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. \u201cThat said, improving housing affordability and the potential for upward pressure on rates may make this a timely moment for buyers to consider entering the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The composite Benchmark price for a typical home in the Fraser Valley increased 0.3% in March, to $898,300.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>MLS\u00ae HPI Benchmark Price Activity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Single Family Detached : At $1,375,600 the Benchmark price for an FVREB single-family detached home increased 0.3% compared to February 2026 and decreased 8.7% compared to March 2025.<br \/>\n\u2022 Townhomes : At $772,700 the Benchmark price for an FVREB townhome increased 0.3% compared to February 2026 and decreased 7.3% compared to March 2025.<br \/>\n\u2022 Apartments : At $489,200 the Benchmark price for an FVREB apartment\/condo increased 0.2% compared to February 2026 and decreased 9.2% compared to March 2025.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fvreb.bc.ca\/statistics\/Package202603.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the stats package report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fvreb.bc.ca\/statistics\/monthly-market-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fraser Valley Home Prices Level Off Amid Improving Affordability<\/a> by FVREB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SURREY, BC \u2013 After nearly a year of steady price declines, the Fraser Valley housing market is beginning to show early signs of stabilizing, with Benchmark prices edging up month-over-month &hellip;
