July delivered 1,190 transactions—essentially flat from June and 23% below the 10-year average.

Fraser Valley Market Overview: July 2025
The Fraser Valley entered its typical summer slowdown in July, with sales essentially flat compared to June. The 1,190 transactions recorded were down just 0.5% from June but 3% below July 2024 and a significant 23% below the 10-year average.
"Home sellers are having to work harder than they did a year or two ago. In a market where buyers are cautious and have ample choice, successful sellers are going the extra mile to meet buyers where they're at—staging their home, handling repairs up front, and most importantly, pricing their homes realistically for the current market conditions."
— Tore Jacobsen, Chair, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board
Active listings dipped slightly to 10,650—down 2% from June but still 22% above last year and nearly 50% above the 10-year seasonal average. New listings declined 5% from June to 3,453 as some sellers opted to wait for fall rather than compete in a crowded summer market.
Summer Buyer Advantage
July's conditions represent the strongest buyer's market the Fraser Valley has seen in years. With inventory 50% above seasonal norms, sellers competing for limited buyers, and prices down 5.4% year-over-year, those who can act have genuine leverage. Days on market have lengthened to 38 days for detached homes and condos, giving buyers time to make informed decisions.
Pricing continued its gradual decline with the composite benchmark falling 0.7% to $944,800—now down 5.4% year-over-year. Detached homes declined 0.5% to $1,451,100 (-5.1% YoY), townhomes fell 1.2% to $814,900 (-4.0% YoY), and apartments dropped 1.4% to $519,300 (-5.8% YoY).

What This Means for Buyers
July reinforced that 2025 remains the strongest buyer's market the Fraser Valley has seen in years. With inventory 50% above seasonal norms, prices down 5.4% year-over-year, and days on market extended, buyers who can act have substantial leverage.
Strategic Considerations for Buyers
- Time is on your side: With 38 days average for detached homes and condos, there's no pressure to rush decisions.
- Negotiating power: Most segments are selling 1-4% below list price. Don't be afraid to make competitive offers.
- Langley's relative strength: At 16-20% sales ratios, Langley shows the healthiest conditions. Don't assume unlimited leverage here.
- Mission's value play: With positive price movement and 35% savings versus Langley, Mission offers compelling value for space-seeking buyers.
- Entry-level opportunities: North Surrey condos at $458,200 benchmark and Abbotsford attached at $492,500 median offer accessible entry points.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers face the challenge of a market where buyers have ample choice and little urgency. Strategic pricing and presentation from day one are essential.
Strategic Considerations for Sellers
- Days on market lengthening: Detached homes now average 38 days on market. Plan for extended marketing periods.
- Below-list sales are the norm: Most transactions are closing 1-4% below list price. Price competitively from day one.
- Presentation matters more: In a crowded market, staging, repairs, and professional photos differentiate your listing.
- Segment matters: Townhomes are selling faster (35 days) than detached or condos. Know your competition.
- Langley advantage: If you're in Langley, market conditions are more balanced—less aggressive pricing may be warranted.
Looking Ahead
The housing market continues processing the effects of ongoing tariff threats and economic uncertainty. The slowdown in home sales this spring and summer has been largely driven by uncertainty and fear—factors that may persist into fall.
"The housing market, like other sectors, continues to process the effects of the ongoing tariff threats. The slowdown in home sales this spring and summer has largely been driven by uncertainty and fear. Buyers and sellers are taking measures to offset the anticipated impacts, knowing that the economic effects of tariffs will likely take some time to be fully realized throughout the system."
— Baldev Gill, CEO, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board
August typically sees continued summer slowdown before activity picks up after Labour Day. With inventory remaining elevated and prices continuing to ease, buyers who can tolerate uncertainty may find fall 2025 offers genuine opportunities. For sellers, the return of school-year buyers may bring renewed activity—but only for competitively priced properties.
