✨MONTHLY MARKET STATS | MAY 2026✨

Falling prices open the door for Fraser Valley move-up buyers

A modest increase in Fraser Valley home sales in May suggests buyers remain engaged, albeit cautiously as economic uncertainty continues to temper the pace of the spring market.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 1,124 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in May, a
0.5 per cent increase from April, but five per cent below the same month last year. Single-family homes
remained the most active segment of the Fraser Valley market in May, generating more sales than
townhouses and apartments.

“We’re seeing limited activity from first-time buyers right now, with much of the market being driven by homeowners looking to move up,” said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “As prices
in the detached segment have become more attainable, buyers with existing equity are finding opportunities to transition into larger homes and market segments that were out of reach just a few years ago.”

Sellers were less active in May, with new listings falling both month-over-month and year-over-year as
some homeowners appear to be waiting for stronger market conditions before listing.
However, the Fraser Valley continues to offer buyers an abundance of choice, with 10,140 active listings on
the market in May, keeping inventory well above historical norms.

“Many households are understandably approaching major financial decisions with caution right now,” said
Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “Between economic uncertainty, concerns about job
security, and the continued pressure of higher everyday costs, confidence has been slow to recover. At the
same time, buyers who are financially prepared are finding some of the most favourable market conditions we’ve seen in some time.”

The Bank of Canada today held its target for the overnight rate at 2.25%, with the Bank Rate at 2.5% and the deposit rate at 2.20%.

The evolving conflict in the Middle East is causing heightened volatility and US trade policy continues to reshape global trade patterns. Both are ongoing sources of uncertainty. The Bank’s April outlook assumes tariffs remain unchanged and the global benchmark price of oil declines to US$75 per barrel by mid 2027.

The Iran war has led to sharply higher energy prices and transportation disruptions, diminishing growth prospects in oil-importing countries and boosting inflation worldwide. In the United States, growth is still expected to be solid over the projection horizon, boosted by AI-related investment and consumption growth. China’s economy is being supported by robust exports. In the euro area, higher prices for oil and natural gas will weigh on economic activity.

Overall, the global economy is expected to grow by about 3% in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Projections for inflation over the next year are revised up because of the jump in energy prices.

The outlook for economic growth in Canada is little changed from the January Monetary Policy Report (MPR) projection. After a contraction in the fourth quarter of 2025, growth is forecast to have resumed in early 2026. Consumer and government spending are supporting economic activity, while tariffs and trade uncertainty are weighing on exports and business investment. Housing activity declined in the fourth quarter and is being held back by slow population growth, economic uncertainty and ongoing affordability issues. The labour market is soft, with subdued employment growth over the past year and job losses in sectors targeted by US tariffs. The unemployment rate remains in the 6 1/2%-7% range, reflecting both weak hiring and fewer job seekers.

As the outlook evolves, the BOC stands ready to respond as needed. The Bank is committed to maintaining Canadian's confidence in price stability through this period of global upheaval.

The next scheduled announcement will be June 10, 2026

✨MONTHLY MARKET STATS | MARCH 2026✨

Fraser Valley home prices level off amid improving affordability

After nearly a year of steady price declines, the Fraser Valley housing market is beginning to show early signs of stabilizing, with Benchmark prices edging up month-over-month for the first time in 11 months. While March sales activity picked up over the previous month, year-over-year sales throughout the first quarter of 2026 continue to stumble, reflecting a market where buyer caution still lingers.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 1,007 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in March, a 20 per cent increase from February, but three per cent below the same month last year and 42 per cent below the ten-year seasonal average. After a decline in February, new listings increased in March, up 20 per cent to 3,341, suggesting some sellers are eager to get ahead of the spring market despite sales activity remaining soft and well below typical seasonal levels.

“We’re encouraged to see early signs of prices levelling off in the Fraser Valley,” said Ishaq Ismail, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “While sales remain below last year’s levels, this market is presenting a rare window — with greater choice, improved affordability, and meaningful incentives, particularly in the condo segment — for buyers who are ready to make a move with the right professional guidance.”

Overall inventory remains elevated in the Fraser Valley, with 9,201 active listings, up 10 per cent from February and 50 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average.

“Amid economic uncertainty and rising day-to-day costs, many households are understandably taking a more cautious approach to their finances,” said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. "That said, improving housing affordability and the potential for upward pressure on rates may make this a timely moment for buyers to consider entering the market."
