The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recently published the MLS® statistics for the Abbotsford real estate market, among others, for June 2021.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Abbotsford detached home market for June 2021 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for detached homes for sale in Abbotsford.
We're also going to see what kind of shape the detached home market in Abbotsford was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
In June, we shifted from an extreme seller's market to a strong seller's market. Although demand for Fraser Valley homes remains very high - over 40 per cent of active listings sold in June - we're seeing the market settle down giving buyers and sellers more room to maneuver.
