Overall inventory remains well above seasonal norms for the Fraser Valley, with 10,121 active listings, down four per cent from September but up 15 per cent year-overyear.<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMotivated sellers are responding to increasingly competitive market conditions with more realistic pricing strategies,\u201d said Tore Jacobsen, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. \u201cAs a result, we\u2019re seeing prices soften\u2014a shift that\u2019s helping to facilitate sales in a slower market.\u201d<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Fraser Valley remains firmly in a buyer\u2019s market, with an overall sales-to-active listings ratio of 11 per cent in October, up from nine per cent in September. The modest increase reflects a rise in sales alongside a slight decline in inventory. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Across the Fraser Valley in October, the average number of days to sell both a single-family detached home and a condo was 42 days; while for a townhome it was 37 days.<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWhile these early signs are encouraging, the path back to seasonal average sales levels will take time,\u201d said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. \u201cAs more new supply comes on stream and sellers adapt to the shifting dynamics, we expect the market to respond accordingly.\u201d<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The composite Benchmark price for a typical home in the
