It's almost the middle of August in the Fraser Valley and Chilliwack and we are in a Buyer's market, especially in the over 1 million price range for single family homes.
Now, with a decent supply of active listings inventory to choose from, it makes more sense than ever to work with a smart, local and experienced buyer's agent to search, help you view and choose, and negotiate to find the very best buy. Your smart agent is going to do all of that and a lot more too that's why we always like to say, start with an agent.

There are just 25 active listings that meet the following ideal home buying criteria :
- Priced under 1.4m
Not older than 12 years old. Why under 12 years old? The home is likely still updated, still "modern". Major updates should not be needed and there'll be no need to worry about expensive upgrades to roof, deck surfaces and other house components.
- Min 5 bedrooms, min 3 bathrooms
- Min. 3,000 sq ft home
- Min 6,000 sq ft property.
If we remove the criteria of a 6,000 sq ft min sized property from the search criteria, results double to 51 active listings. However, chances are, you want a single family home that has a decent sized property.
