According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board the housing market activity reaches historic levels in November.
The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 2,173 sales of all property types on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in November, an increase of 54.7% compared to the 1,405 sales in November of last year, and an 8.3% decrease month‐over‐month compared to 2,370 sales in October.
Fraser Valley Real Estate Board reported that they received 2,217 new listings in November, a 28.0% decrease compared to October’s intake and an 18.1% increase compared to the 1,877 new listings received during the same month last year. For November, it was the second-highest volume of new inventory in the last decade.
Chris Shields, President of the Board, observes, “We’re running out of superlatives. We expected November activity to moderate due to the season, but the desire for family‐sized homes and their benefits continues to dominate. Since the summer, we’ve seen the strongest demand in our Board’s 99‐year history specifically for single‐family detached and townhomes.

MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price
Average and median home prices are often misinterpreted, are affected by change in the mix of homes sold, and can swing dramatically from month to month (based on the types and prices of properties that sold in a given month). The MLS® HPI overcomes these shortcomings and uses the concept of a benchmark home, a notional home with common attributes of typical homes in a defined area.
