The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recently published the MLS® statistics for the Abbotsford real estate market, among others, for January 2025.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Abbotsford detached home market for January 2025 – 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.
The market appears to be in a holding pattern at the moment. There is no doubt that economic uncertainty is playing a role, especially the spectre of a trade war, which could lead to even more rate cuts by the Bank of Canada. The confluence of these conditions could provide unique buying opportunities, but we urge buyers and sellers to work with a REALTOR® to ensure they align with financial objectives.
