Fraser Valley - The year's first warm spell triggered an increase in new listings and kept sales steady in May. Sales increased 13% over April, on par with May 2011. New listings increased 5% over April, 8% more new listings than May 2011. Sales to listings ratio stayed at 14-15%, meaning for every 100 listings available for purchase, 15 sold.
“It’s a healthy, competitive market. It gives buyers excellent selection and the time to negotiate, but not too much time. The average number of days to sell a detached home or a townhome is still only a month and a half and for condos a little over two months, which is why we’re seeing benchmark prices in most communities holding steady.” - Scott Olsen, President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.
