As reported by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), the Fraser Valley experienced a boost in summer sales and listings over the month of July, with an increase of 5% compared to July 2012 and an increase of 10% compared to June 2013.

The Fraser Valley, which includes North Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission, has been experiencing 10-year lows, so this summer boost is great news for both buyers and sellers in the Fraser Valley region.

Ray Werger, President-elect of the Board stated, “Buoyancy during the summer is rare at the best of times and yet I’ve just experienced the busiest July in my 20 plus years as a REALTOR®. To jump from the worst June in 10 years to a slightly below average July may not sound unusual or unexpected but it was. Werger continued, “We’re likely experiencing some pent-up demand coming off some very slow winter months, tiny changes in mortgage rates are always incentive for many buyers, and let’s not underestimate our glorious weather. For our buyers and sellers, a return to a normal, balanced market is welcome news.”

The Fraser Valley experienced 2,777 new MLS® listings in July 2013, which is only 5% fewer than in July 2012, but also experienced 6% more listings than June 2013. The benchmark price of a Fraser Valley single family detached home was $551,000 in July 2013, almost on par with the value in July 2012, of $551,400.
