Join me as I discuss the latest real estate trends in the Fraser Valley, the unique challenges faced by the sandwich generation, and why Langley continues to stand out in the market.

 

Here's a quick overview: 

 

📉 Market Overview: 

  • Sales Decline: July was a quiet month with 1,230 sales, down 7% from June and 26% below the 10-year seasonal average. 
  • Rising Inventory: Inventory levels reached a 10-year high with 8,731 active listings, up 41% from July 2023.
  • Balanced Market: The sales-to-active listings ratio is 14%, indicating balanced market conditions, though some areas are experiencing a buyer’s market.


🤔 What This Means for You: 

  • Downsizing & Helping Family: Many are navigating the complexities of downsizing and helping their children enter the market.
  • Market Position: Detached homes are entering a buyer's market, while townhomes remain in demand due to affordability.
  • Langley's Strength: Langley is bucking the trend, maintaining a balanced market and strong appeal due to its central location, amenities, and good governance.


🏡 Key Numbers: 

  • HPI Benchmark Prices: Detached homes: $1,259,600, Townhomes: $848,800, Condominiums: $551,000.
