August, 2012: White Rock / South Surrey Real Estate Market Update

HOME PRICES RESILIENT DESPITE LOWER SALES IN THE FRASER VALLEY (Surrey, BC) – In August, sales on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) ranked the third lowest for the month in the last decade – after 2008 and 2010. Last month’s 1,073 property sales represent a 20 per cent decrease compared to the 1,341 sales during August of last year and 23 per cent fewer than in July.
