After 11 months are we seeing a shift.
March 2026 brought a small but notable change across the Fraser Valley, with benchmark prices ticking up slightly. It’s not a surge—and it’s not a recovery—but it could be the first sign that the market is starting to stabilize.
The bigger question is: what does that actually mean if you live in Mission, BC?
What’s Happening in the Fraser Valley
Across the Fraser Valley, prices edged up just 0.3% in March, ending a long stretch of monthly declines.
At the same time:
- Sales increased slightly with the start of the spring market
- Inventory remains about 50% above the 10-year average
- Buyers are still in a strong negotiating position
- This is not a hot market.
- It’s a market that’s trying to find its footing.
