The Fraser Valley real estate market saw sales fall again in July in the face of continued interest rate hikes, as the government struggles to bring inflation under control.

“It is important to keep in mind that real estate is and always will be an asset with considerable upside over the long-term,” said Fraser Valley Real Estate Board President, Sandra Benz.

“As prices come down from the highs of recent months, there are opportunities for buyers who have been waiting to re-enter the market and shop for the right property.”
