In May 2025, the Fraser Valley housing market experienced a modest yet encouraging uptick, signaling a potential shift towards a more balanced environment for both buyers and sellers. With inventory levels rising—active listings increased by 6% to 10,626 properties—the market is offering more choices for prospective homeowners. This growth in inventory, coupled with a 7% rise in new listings, suggests a move towards equilibrium, where informed decisions can flourish.
Despite a 22% decline in sales compared to May 2024, the 13% increase from April 2025 indicates a cautious optimism among buyers. The current sales-to-active listings ratio stands at 11%, indicating a buyer's market, yet approaching the balanced threshold. Homes priced appropriately for today's market are finding buyers, reflecting a return to thoughtful, value-driven decisions.
For those considering entering the market, whether buying or selling, this period offers an opportunity to approach real estate decisions with wisdom and discernment. Aligning your choices with your values and long-term goals can lead to outcomes that honor both your financial and personal aspirations.
