Fraser Valley's housing market"steady as she goes"
Scott Olson, President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board explains, "Our market last month remained consistent. Our sales were down compared to May, however the number of new listings we received dropped as well, which seasonally is typical for June in the Fraser Valley. Although our inventory is trending at historically high levels, sales have remained steady so we are not seeing significant downward pressure on residential prices overall."
