In this post, we’re going to take a close look at key numbers for the Abbotsford townhouse market for October 2022 – including sales, new listings, active listings, as well as benchmark, median and average prices for townhouses for sale in Abbotsford.

We're also going to see what kind of shape the townhouse market in Abbotsford was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.

These trends suggest that the market is looking to re-establish equilibrium in the wake of last year's intense activity and in the face of continued interest rate pressures. With sales continuing to lag and new inventory slow to come onstream, we're seeing a holding pattern regarding whether to buy or list a property and expect this to continue through to year-end.
