The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board has recorded another record-breaking month of sales in October 2020, reporting an increase of 48.9% from this month last year. An astounding 2,370 sales of all property types were processed on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in October 2020 for the entire region. 83 sales took place in Mission, an increase of 27.1% from October 2019 for detached homes, and an increase of 45.5% from October 2019 for townhomes.
Chris Shields, President of the Board observes, “The situation is unprecedented. We are in the middle of a pandemic and in many of our communities we are seeing a strong seller’s market for townhomes and single-family homes priced correctly.”
Active listings in Mission for detached homes and townhomes decreased 45.9% and 48.4% respectively compared to this month last year. This decrease is reflective of fewer new listings and an exceptional number of sales.
