The real estate market is currently experiencing the highest sales level never seen before in the last 100 years of the Fraser Valley for the 6th month in a row.

Chris Shields, President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board viewpoint of this month’s record numbers, “This is new territory for us. We have never seen such consistent and persistent demand for housing in the Fraser Valley. 

You may have recently received your 2020 property BC tax assessment in the mail in the start of this new year (2021).  Typically, these assessments reflect the values they determined back in July.  There is a lot of confusion whether assessment values reflect current market values.  Part of my service as a realtor, is to help my clients stay up to date with their home and market conditions.  Should you wish to discuss your recent tax assessments in the mail, please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call me to discuss. In the meantime, here are some interesting facts about how tax assessments are determined.

In Real Estate terms, 2020 went out with bang. Sales were higher than average in 10 years in the Fraser Valley! Despite the global pandemic, it’s apparent that those who can still transact in Real Estate will. Motivating factors for a move don’t seem to go away for those who are fortunate enough to still have the resources. From my personal point of view, the type of Real Estate consumer really hasn’t changed much from the pre Covid-19 days.

It is tough to predict how Covid-19 will impact business in the next six months. Yet currently, it seems to be “business as usual” for me, “usual” being a relative term. I currently maintain listings but how Covid-19 impacts the Real Estate business here in British Columbia is dependent on the same factors it will affect everyone around the world. As it is, I am grateful for the technology such as secure e-signing and video conferencing, 21st-century conveniences that were unimaginable when I started that now help to mitigate the risks of spreading the virus. Until things are better, Realtors® will continue to follow our board’s mandated health protocols that are in place: masking, limited essential viewers, social distancing, cleaning before & after showings and... NO ON-SITES OPEN HOUSES! The BCREA and Fraser Valley Board has mandated no open houses and strict rules to view properties, including limiting people visiting a property to view. Appraisals and inspections are often done remotely or with very limited numbers of people allowed present in a property.
