Market Snapshot


Curious how the Fraser Valley market has been moving lately? Here’s a quick snapshot.







How to Read the Market


Before we jump into the numbers, here’s how to read them:




Buyers Market: Under 12 Sales-to-List Ratio


Balanced Market: Between 12-20 Sales-to-List Ratio


Sellers Market: Above 20 Sales-to-List Ratio




The Sales-to-List Ratio shows how active the market is, and measures the percentage of homes sold compared to total listings. For example, if 100 homes are listed and 15 sell, that equals a 15 Sales-to-List Ratio, which indicates a balanced market.

Quick Tips of the Month


For Buyers: Get pre-approved early. It helps you understand your true budget and puts you in a stronger position to act quickly when the right home hits the market.


For Sellers: Start prepping now for spring. Decluttering, fresh paint, and minor updates can make a strong first impression when buyer activity picks up.


For Homeowners: Tackle small maintenance items this month, like replacing weatherstripping, cleaning gutters, and checking heating systems, to save on energy costs and avoid bigger repairs later.
