The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recently published the MLS® statistics for the Mission real estate market, among others, for September 2022.
In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Mission townhouse market for September 2022 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for townhouses for sale in Mission.
We're also going to see what kind of shape the townhouse market in Mission was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
There's no question that interest rates continue to be a primary factor in the market trends over the past six months or so. The sales slowdown we're seeing reflects a level of caution exercised by buyers, who are likely waiting for the market to settle further before jumping in.
