We're also going to see what kind of shape the detached home market in White Rock / South Surrey was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
2024 marked another subdued year for Fraser Valley home sales on the heels of a ten-year low in 2023. Slight declines in home prices across some areas of the region provided negligible relief for buyers looking to get into the market. At the same time, the modest price adjustments did not discourage sellers from listing.
