For example, with those dynamics, downsizing from a house to a townhouse would make a lot of sense.&nbsp; We hope you found this information helpful and please reach out to discuss your unique situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-very-light-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><a href=\"https:\/\/schreders.ca\/langley-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See Listed Properties For Sale in Langley BC<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are considering selling, buying or just have questions about the market<\/strong>, please give us a call today and <a href=\"https:\/\/schreders.ca\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">let\u2019s chat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-very-light-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/schreders.ca\/blog\/fraser-valley-real-estate-market-august-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GO TO LAST MONTHS STATS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/schreders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/September-Housing-update.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schreders.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/September-Housing-update.png 810w, https:\/\/www.schreders.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/September-Housing-update-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.schreders.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/September-Housing-update-768x427.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#8f060b;color:#ffffff\">All Fraser Valley Areas Combined <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Detached<\/strong> &#8211;

The month ended with a total active inventory of 5,805, a decrease of 1.1 percent from last month but up by 52.3 per cent compared to September 2021. Once again, September saw a balanced market in the Fraser Valley with an overall sales-to-active ratio of 15 per cent (the market is considered balanced when the sales-to-active ratio is between 12 per cent and 20 per cent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no question that interest rates continue to be a primary factor in the market trends over the past six months or so,\u201d said Sandra Benz, President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. \u201cThe sales slowdown we\u2019re seeing reflects a level of caution exercised by buyers, who are likely waiting for the market to settle further before jumping in. In the meantime, we anticipate prices may continue to decline across all categories.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weaker demand in the face of interest rate hikes, continued to bring downward pressure on Benchmark prices across all property categories. Prices have been falling steadily since late spring and, in the case of detached homes, are at October 2021 levels.<br><br>\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see inventories start to rise in the region, however slight,\u201d said Board CEO Baldev Gill.<br>\u201cAdequate supply is a key underpinning of a vibrant and equitable housing market \u2013 not just in the Fraser Valley, but throughout the province. As we meet with candidates during the upcoming municipal elections and later on this month with MPs in Ottawa, FVREB Realtors will continue to press for swift action on this fundamental issue.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the Fraser Valley in September, the average number of days spent on the market before selling continued to increase: 34 days for a single-family detached, 32 for townhomes, and 30 for apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MLS\u00ae HPI Benchmark Price Activity<br>\u2022 Single Family Detached: At $1,462,000, the Benchmark price for an FVREB single-family detached home<br>decreased 3.4 per cent compared to August 2022 and increased 4.1 per cent compared to September 2021.<br>\u2022 Townhomes: At $822,400, the Benchmark price for an FVREB townhome decreased 2.3 per cent compared to August 2022 and increased 11.6 per cent compared to September 2021.<br>\u2022 Apartments: At $530,400 the Benchmark price for an FVREB apartment\/condo decreased 2.1 per cent<br>compared to August 2022 and increased 14.5 per cent compared to September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the September 2022 Statistics Package&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/fvreb.bc.ca\/statistics\/Package202209.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Are you a stats geek?<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Want to see a breakdown of all the numbers yourself?
