Spring Comes Early...at least to the real estate market!

Property sales in the Fraser Valley were 6% higher than the 10-year average for the month of January.  On top of that, the number of new listings were 11% below historical norms.

These factors combined have led to a shortage in the supply of available homes.  Many potential purchasers were in a “wait and see” pattern through 2019 and are now entering the marketplace.

"Considering our record-shattering snow and cold, the pace of home sales remained surprisingly balanced in January," said Darin Germyn, President of the Board. “Sales in our region have steadily improved since July of last year and January's numbers remained consistent with that trend."

With talk of interest rates heading down, it looks like we’re in for an early spring market!
