The Fraser Valley housing market saw sales slide again in July in the face of continued interest rate hikes, as the government applies the brakes to the housing market and struggles to bring inflation under control.
In July, the Board (FVREB) processed 993 sales on MLS®. This is a decrease of -22.5% from the previous month and a -50.5% drop compared to July 2021. New listings totaled 2,385. A -28.4% decrease compared to June and a decrease of -1.9% compared to July 2021.
FVREB MLS Sales – August 2022
“It is important to keep in mind that real estate is and always will be an asset with considerable upside over the long-term. As prices come down from the highs of recent months, there are opportunities for buyers who have been waiting to shop for the right property.”
Active listings, at 6,413, remained relatively unchanged from June and were up 30.9 per cent over last July. This brought balance for townhomes and detached homes (sales-to-active ratios: 18% and 12%, respectively); favoured sellers slightly for apartments (28%). The market is considered balanced when the sales-to-active ratio is between 12% and 20%.

Hi Friends,
As property sales continue to fall in the Fraser Valley and active listings continue to grow, the real estate market is edging towards more balanced levels not seen since the pre-pandemic period.
Sales of all property types in May were 1,360, down 16.9 per cent from April’s 1,637; and down 53.9 per cent compared to May of 2021.
FVREB MLS Sales – June 2022
“Since March, we’ve seen sales come down with an accompanying increase in inventory, subsequently restoring much-needed balance and cooling our heated market. While still early, it suggests that as we gradually settle into a post-pandemic state of work and life, the big pandemic-era drivers – working from home and record low interest rates – may have run their course.”
At the same time, active listings (the number of properties available for sale at a given moment during the month, in this case at the end of May) have more than tripled since December 2021. At the end of May, actives sat at 6,183, up 5.4 per cent year-over-year, and an increase of 14.8 per cent compared to April 2022.

So your home is super clean, you’ve signed up the best REALTOR® you know and you’re wondering what else you can do to get an offer on your table. Let’s take a quick look at some of the little details that can help you along your journey and omprove the odds of an offer.
Homeseller Series – How To Improve the Odds of an Offer
Price it right.
Set a price at the lower end of your property’s realistic price range. Consider:
Comparable properties: A “comp” is what real estate professionals call home sales that can be reasonably used to help determine the price of your home. But just because you’re in the same neighborhood doesn’t mean that the houses will sell for the same amount. Your real estate professional will help you determine how to compare your home in terms of size, upkeep, and amenities.
Competition: How many other houses are for sale in your area right now? Are you competing against new homes or condos for sale in the area?
Contingencies: Do you have special needs that might turn away buyers? A common one is refusing to be flexible about a moving date.
Accuracy: Studies show homes priced more than 3 percent over the correct price take longer to sell.
Prepare for visitors.
Get your house market-ready at least two weeks before you begin showing it. Make all your repairs, and then do a deep clean (or hire a cleaning service to help).

Executing a deep clean before putting your home on the market will not only help it shine, but it will make tidiness easier to maintain between showings. Here are some power-cleaning tips to use when your home is for sale.
Homeseller Series – How to Clean When Your Home is For Sale
Clean windows make a huge difference.
Remove window screens and place them outside on a tarp or other clean, waterproof surface. Use a garden hose, an all-purpose cleaner, and a soft brush to gently clean the screens. You don’t need anything special to polish up window glass; just mix a solution of one part white vinegar to eight parts water, plus a drop or two of dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. Wipe with newspaper to avoid streaks. (Washing on a cloudy day also reduces streaking.)
The fridge is the most common source of kitchen smells.
Check the drip tray underneath your refrigerator and wash out any standing water from defrosting. Scrub the inside of the fridge with a baking soda and water solution. Activated charcoal in the fridge can help keep odors at bay.
Think outside the house.
It’s amazing the difference a sparkling entryway makes to your home’s curb appeal. Wipe down your front door, give the doormat a good shake/vacuum, and make sure dust and dirt haven’t collected on outdoor furniture. Use a pressure washer to give your driveway and garage floor a good cleaning. The acidity in dark cola drinks can help remove oil, rust, and grease stains, along with a little elbow grease.

With the majority of buyers shopping for homes online, high-resolution slide shows and video tours are a must. Here’s how to make your home shine on camera and prepare your home for the 3D tour technician.
Homeseller Series – How to Prepare for the 3D Tour
Understand the camera’s perspective.
The camera’s eye is different from the human eye. It magnifies clutter and poor furniture arrangement so that even a home that feels comfortable in person can look jumbled online.
Make it spotless.
Cameras also tend to magnify grime. Don’t forget floor coverings and walls; a spot on a rug might be overlooked during a regular home showing, but it could become a focal point online.
Know what to leave.
You want to avoid clutter, but try to have three items of varying heights on each surface. On an end table you can place a tall lamp (high), a small plant (medium), and a book (low).

Selling your home can take a lot of planning and effort, but with the right team and the the right timing it can also be a very rewarding experience. It’s really like the age old question, “which came first the chicken or the egg.” In this case the question becomes, “whom should I speak with first, a lender or a REALTOR®?” Speaking with either of these professionals is the best place to start preparing to sell your home. If you speak with me first, I can give you the names of some of the best mortgage brokers/lenders I’ve been able to find in this industry.
Homeseller series – How to Prepare to Sell Your Home
Talk to mortgage brokers.
Many first-time homesellers don’t take the time to get prequalified. They also often don’t take the time to shop around to find the best mortgage for their particular situation. It’s important to ask plenty of questions and make sure you understand your pre-payment penalty cost.
Consider a pre-sale home inspection.
An inspector will be able to give you a good indication of the trouble areas that will stand out to potential buyers, and you’ll be able to make repairs before open houses begin.
Find a trusted partner.
It’s absolutely vital that you find a real estate professional who understands your goals and who is ready and able to guide you through the homeselling process.
Organize and clean.
Pare down clutter and pack up your least-used items, such as large blenders and other kitchen tools, out-of-season clothes, toys, and seasonal items. Store items off-site or in boxes neatly arranged in the garage or basement. Clean the windows, carpets, walls, lighting fixtures, and baseboards to make the house shine.

Once you are under contract, the buyer’s lender will send out an appraiser to make sure the purchase price is in line with the property’s value. This step is generally only taken when there is a minimum 20% downpayment. Here’s how to understand the appraisal.
Homeseller Series: How to Understand the Appraisal
Appraisals help guide mortgage terms.
All Homebuyers with 20% downpayment will need an appraisal to get a mortgage on a property. The appraised value of a home is an important factor in the loan underwriting process. Although lenders may use the sale price to determine the amount of the mortgage they will offer, they generally only do so when the property is sold for less than the appraisal amount. Also, the loan-to-value ratio is based on the appraised value and helps lenders figure out how much money may be borrowed to purchase the property and under what terms. If the LTV is high, the lender is more likely to require the borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance.
Appraised value is not a concrete number.
Appraisals provide a professional opinion of value, but they aren’t an exact science. Appraisals may differ quite a bit depending on when they’re done and who’s doing them. Changes in market conditions also can dramatically alter appraised value.

In this edition of my Homeseller Guide, we are taking a look at some of the costs that come up as a Seller. Often, there are pre-payment penalties on Fixed Rate mortgages and the additional cost can make or break a sale for some people. Let’s take a closer look at those costs and the formula for how a seller can calculate their net.
Homeseller Series – Calculating Your Net
LIST PRICE- ____________
This is the price you list your home for sale on MLS®.
SALE PRICE- ____________ MINUS

Homeseller Series: Review the Marketing Plan
Communication Counts.
While many agents work to get signs on lawns, I work to sell properties. To do that requires consistent communication, and honesty about feedback and pricing strategies. I work hard to answer my clients both quickly and honestly.
3D Matterport Tour.
I will ensure your property is presented with as much information as possible. I choose to market your home using the Matterport 3D Tour. Immersive 3D experiences so real, they’re like being there!Matterport 3D Showcase is unlike any other real estate virtual tours. It’s the most realistic, immersive way to experience a property online.
“Matterport 3D Showcase is a better real estate virtual tour: an immersive, 360º virtual experience that engages buyers, delights sellers. Traditional photography or a flat floor plan can’t tell the story of how you live in a multi-story home. The doll house view, elevator tool and ability to ‘walk’ through the home is critical to a true understanding of the home’s value to the individual.”
Professional Photography.
Includes 360 degree left-right photography and 300 degree vertical images:
Output Pano Pixels: 134.2 MP, equirectangular; Lens: 4K Full Glass, White Balancing: Automatic full-model, 360° (left-right) x 300° (vertical) field of view.
Floor Plan.
There are many types of buyers and engagers in the buyers market. Each has a different preference of how they want to learn about a prospective purchase. Plenty of buyers like looking at traditional floor plans to ‘see’ the layout of a home. Your home will have a deconstructed floor plan created, to see more, please review the sample brochure in your listing package.

Homeseller Series – 7 Reasons a Homeseller Should Hire a Realtor
REALTORS® aren’t just agents. They’re professional members of the Canadian Real Estate association, the Real Estate Council of B.C. as well as your local REALTORS® membership board and subscribe to its strict code of ethics. These are just some of the reasons a Seller should hire a REALTOR®.
Ethical treatment.
Every REALTOR® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a REALTOR®’s client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. The first obligation is to you, the client.
An expert guide.
Selling a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
Objective information and opinions.
REALTORS® can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They also have objective information about local selling practices. REALTORs® can use that information to help you determine if your offer has what you need.
