Can you believe it’s March already? It seems like February was gone in the blink of an eye. February was yet another record breaking month for property sales in the Fraser Valley. Our team completed 10 deals for our valued buyers and sellers!

*Chris Shields, President of the Board said of this month’s record numbers,

“This is new territory for us. We have never seen such consistent and persistent demand for housing in the Fraser Valley.”

“What’s fueling the demand is the combination of record‐low interest rates and the response to the pandemic. It’s not something that could have been predicted and it has created a very complex market for buyers that requires the knowledge and expertise of a professional. For family‐sized homes, prices climbed 3 to 5 per cent in February alone and sold on average in three weeks. We understand the stress and frustration with the market currently and we’re here to help guide and protect home buyers.”
