The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recently published the MLS® statistics for the Mission real estate market, among others, for May 2022.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Mission detached home market for May 2022 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for detached homes for sale in Mission.
We're also going to see what kind of shape the detached home market in Mission was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
Since March, we've seen sales come down with an accompanying increase in inventory, subsequently restoring much-needed balance and cooling our heated market. While still early, it suggests that as we gradually settle into a post-pandemic state of work and life, the big pandemic-era drivers - working from home and record low interest rates - may have run their course.
