Fraser Valley – Real Estate Sales Trends – Feb 2012

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) has released its monthly statistics package for February 2012 and although sales are significantly up over January of this year, overall, the Fraser Valley is remaining fairly steady compared to the same period last year.

In February, the FVREB’s Multiple Listing Service (MLSÒ) reported sales increased by 58.8% over January 2012, however this is a 0.8% decrease over January 2011. Although the market is picking up as we enter spring, the trend shows buyers are still favoured. Properties are selling if they are priced competitively.

Real estate is a local market! I’d welcome providing you with a detailed review of how the market is performing in your area – and the relevant benchmark statistics you should be considering for your current home or prospective purchase.

All statistics and figures are reported from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and/or the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and are deemed to be reliable, but cannot be guaranteed for accuracy. It is recommended that any information of special interest be verified through independent sources.
