We're also going to see what kind of shape the condominium market in White Rock / South Surrey was in for the month – whether it was a buyer's market, a balanced market, or a seller's market.
With three rate cuts already and more expected before the end of the year, buyers are watching the market closely to time their purchasing decisions. The current conditions should favour buyers, particularly in the detached market. However, until we start to see some movement in asking prices, properties will continue to sit on the market for extended periods as both buyers and sellers await the next rate announcement.
