Fraser Valley Real Estate Market Update – September 2025

Fall Market Arrives with Renewed Energy in the Fraser Valley

The Fraser Valley real estate market is kicking off September 2025 with a noticeable uptick in activity. After a steady summer, both buyers and sellers are re-engaging, encouraged by stabilizing interest rates and a fresh wave of new listings.

Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest, here’s what’s shaping the market this month across Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack.

🏘️ Market Snapshot – September 2025 Highlights

According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB):

📊 Fraser Valley Home Prices – September 2025

Prices remain stable, with minor increases in key family neighbourhoods. Well-marketed properties are selling within 2–3 weeks.

💰 Interest Rate Watch – All Eyes on the Bank of Canada

The Bank of Canada has signaled the possibility of a rate cut later this fall. While mortgage rates are currently steady around 5.3%–5.5%, many buyers are getting pre-approved early to lock in opportunities.

This anticipation is fueling increased demand, particularly in the $ 700,000–$1.1 million range, where affordability remains a key factor.

📈 Advice for Sellers: Strong Market, Strategic Approach

If you’re listing this fall, take advantage of the increased buyer demand:

• Stage your home to highlight comfort and functionality for families

• Price based on current comparable sales, not last year’s highs

• Use high-quality photos and video to maximize exposure online

Tip: Homes close to schools, transit, and community amenities are seeing the fastest sales in September.

🔍 Buyer Tips: Beat the Competition

• Secure a mortgage pre-approval to move quickly on hot listings

• Look for motivated sellers who want to close before year-end

• Explore growing markets like Willoughby (Langley) and East Abbotsford for better long-term value

Looking Ahead to Fall 2025

The Fraser Valley market is expected to stay strong through October and November, especially if a rate cut materializes. Demand for townhomes and detached homes will likely intensify, while condos continue to offer affordability and rental investment potential.
