May, 2013: South Surrey / White Rock Real Estate Market Update
PRICES CONTINUE TO HOLD THEIR OWN IN TRANSITIONING HOUSING MARKET (Surrey, BC) – The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) processed 1,379 sales in May, a decrease of 15 per cent compared to the 1,616 sales in May of last year and 1 per cent more than were processed in April.

Todson adds, “In order for there to be significant downward pressure on home prices, you need to have a sustained period of time when the ratio of sales-to-actives is in the single digits and because that hasn’t happened, prices are remaining relatively stable.” In May, the benchmark price of single family detached homes in …
