Home prices keep coming down. Buyers are in the driver’s seat.
Hi, I’m Matt Rufh with the Rufh Group at Real Broker. Every month, I break down the Fraser Valley numbers so you don’t have to. Here’s what happened in June — in plain English.The big picture
- A typical Fraser Valley home now costs $884,800. That’s down 7% from last year.
- Prices are now 26% below the 2022 peak. That’s the most affordable this market has been in about four years.
- 1,147 homes sold in June. There are 10,377 homes for sale right now. That’s a lot of choice.
- Only about 11 out of every 100 listed homes sold last month. When that number is under 12, we call it a buyer’s market. Buyers have the power right now.
Detached houses
- Typical price: $1,350,200 — down 7.7% from last June, down 1.2% from May
- Time to sell: about 37 days
- 420 sold in June, with about 3,500 for sale
Townhomes
- Typical price: $764,100 — down 7.3% from last June, down 0.7% from May
- Time to sell: about 33 days — the fastest of the three home types
- 317 sold in June — actually a little more than last year
Condos (apartments)
- Typical price: $476,400 — down 9.1% from last June, down 1.5% from May
- Time to sell: about 38 days
- 293 sold in June, with about 2,300 for sale
Need to move in the next 3 months? Here’s my honest advice.
If you’re selling:- Price it right on day one. Homes take 33–38 days to sell on average — and that’s just to get an offer. Add closing time and you’re already at your 3-month deadline. There’s no room to “test” a high price and drop it later.
- Look at what’s selling, not what’s sitting. I’ll pull the last 60 days of sales near you and we’ll price against those — not against hopeful neighbours.
- Make it show-ready before it hits the market. With 10,000+ homes for sale, buyers skip anything that needs excuses. Clean, decluttered, and photographed well — the first two weeks decide everything.
- Be ready to negotiate. Buyers know they have options. A fair offer in week one usually beats a better offer that never comes.
- Get pre-approved this week. It tells you your real budget and makes your offer stronger. (Talk to your lender first — rates change and everyone’s situation is different.)
- You can take a breath — but not a nap. Well-priced homes still sell in about a month. See something great? Act on it.
- Negotiate with confidence. In a buyer’s market you can often include conditions — like a home inspection and financing — and still get the home. Use that protection.
