Five months of consistent buyer market conditions prove that strategic positioning consistently outperforms timing-based approaches.

The 11% sales-to-active ratio maintained buyer leverage throughout spring, defying traditional seasonal patterns and rewarding preparation over procrastination.
Spring Market Observation: "Just like ducklings instinctively follow their mother rather than wandering aimlessly, successful Fraser Valley Home Buyers in Spring 2025 followed data-driven guidance instead of seasonal speculation. This natural approach to strategic positioning delivered remarkable results while others got lost in timing uncertainties." - Katie Van Nes, Fraser Valley Market Expert

FVREB May 2025: Five Months of Strategic Home Buyer Validation
Inventory Abundance Sustained
FVREB confirmed Fraser Valley inventory remained "55% above 10-year seasonal average" through February, with Chilliwack, White Rock, and Maple Ridge showing particularly strong selection opportunities throughout spring.
Strategic Home Buyers leveraged this abundance for systematic property comparison and thorough market evaluation without competitive pressure.
Buyer Leverage Officially Confirmed
FVREB's February release stated buyers are "gaining upper hand" and "capitalizing on more selection and weakening prices." The consistent 11% sales-to-active ratio validated strategic positioning approaches over seasonal timing speculation.
Extended decision timelines improved from 52 days (January detached) to 39 days (February detached), providing optimal conditions for strategic due diligence.
Price Trajectory Supporting Strategic Patience
FVREB data showed "weakening prices" alongside "inventory accumulation," creating measurable advantages for prepared Home Buyers. Affordability analysis confirmed improved purchasing power across property types and neighbourhoods.
Strategic positioning delivered quantifiable results while timing-focused approaches missed opportunities during sustained buyer market conditions.

Fraser Valley Neighbourhood Data Intelligence

Home Buyers who understood market dynamics (inventory abundance, sales ratios, days on market trends) consistently achieved better outcomes than those held back by seasonal expectations or economic headlines. Strategic positioning remains the consistent advantage regardless of timing concerns.
