In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Langley townhouse market for July 2023 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for townhouses for sale in Langley.
We're also going to see what kind of shape the townhouse market in Langley was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
Summer is typically a slower period for the real estate sector and the higher interest rates are contributing to the market slowdown. Were seeing less traffic and fewer multiple offers as buyers and sellers put a pause on decisions and we expect this trend to continue until the fall cycle.
