The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recently published the MLS® statistics for the Langley real estate market, among others, for September 2024.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Langley detached home market for September 2024 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for detached homes for sale in Langley.
We're also going to see what kind of shape the detached home market in Langley was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
With three rate cuts already and more expected before the end of the year, buyers are watching the market closely to time their purchasing decisions. The current conditions should favour buyers, particularly in the detached market. However, until we start to see some movement in asking prices, properties will continue to sit on the market for extended periods as both buyers and sellers await the next rate announcement.
