The Langley property market slowed through August 2025, giving buyers more room to breathe and negotiate. With listings piling up and sales easing, the balance of power has clearly shifted, while sellers are adjusting to a more competitive environment.
Cooling Sales Activity
Across the Fraser Valley, home sales dipped significantly—931 transactions closed in August, down 22% from July and 13% from the same month last year. The sales-to-active listings ratio landed at 9%, well below balanced conditions.
In Langley:
- 237 new properties hit the market
- 82 sales were recorded
- Average time to sell: 34 days
What’s Happening by Property Type
- Detached Homes
- Average sale price: about $1.2 million
- 65 new listings, 16 sold, nearly 100 still active
- Townhouses
- Average price: $850,000
- 58 new listings, 22 sold
- Roughly 30 days to sell
- Condominiums
- Average price: $560,000
- 114 new listings, 44 sold
- About 28 days to sell
Interestingly, Langley’s average sold price across all homes was $1.02 million, edging up nearly 2% month-over-month and 12% compared to last year. Affordability in condos and townhomes is supporting demand even as detached homes take longer to move.
Fraser Valley Benchmark Pricing
- Detached Homes: $1,436,800 (↓1% MoM, ↓5.7% YoY)
- Townhouses: $807,800 (↓0.9% MoM, ↓4.5% YoY)
- Condos: $514,100 (↓1% MoM, ↓5.9% YoY)
- Overall Benchmark: $936,200 (↓0.9% MoM)
What Buyers and Sellers Should Know
For Buyers:
- Ample inventory means time is on your side.
- Expect greater flexibility in pricing and conditions.
- Condos and townhouses are selling faster—ideal for first-timers or downsizers.
For Sellers:
- Price realistically—overpriced listings risk sitting unsold.
- Professional staging and strong marketing are now essentials, not extras.
- Patience will be required, especially in the detached home segment.
Looking Ahead to Fall
The August slowdown reflects typical summer seasonality. Activity is expected to rise again in mid-September as families return from vacation and buyers re-enter the market. Interest rate trends will play a major role in shaping affordability for the rest of 2025.
The takeaway? Langley remains firmly in a buyer’s market heading into autumn. Sellers need to sharpen their strategies, while buyers can take advantage of more choices and negotiating power.
