Overall inventory dipped in October to 8,799, down three per cent from September, but up 34 per cent over last year. Rising sales and steady inventory levels have the Fraser Valley in a balanced market with a sales-to-active ratio of 15 per cent. The market is considered to be balanced when the ratio is between 12 per cent and 20 per cent.<\/p>\r\n \u201cOctober\u2019s healthy sales boost is a welcome development for buyers and sellers alike,\u201d said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. \u201cThe coming weeks and months will shed more light on whether buyer optimism has returned now that the cycle of interest rate cuts is in full swing.\u201d<\/p>\r\n Across the Fraser Valley in October, the average number of days to sell a single-family detached home was 34, while for a condo it was 32. Townhomes took, on average, 29 days to sell.<\/p>\r\n Benchmark prices in the Fraser Valley dipped for the seventh straight month in October, with the composite Benchmark price down 0.7 per cent to $971,700.<\/p>\r\n
