The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recently published the MLS® statistics for the Langley real estate market, among others, for August 2023.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Langley condominium market for August 2023 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for condominiums for sale in Langley.
We're also going to see what kind of shape the condominium market in Langley was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
Many buyers are in "watchful waiting" mode as they hold off on decisions in anticipation of potential further rate changes. With prices relatively stable and active inventory on the rise, we hope to see more new listings come on stream over the next couple of months, especially if rates hold steady.
