Where is the Real Estate Market Today?

by Mako Britz

Abbotsford   12% Absorption Rate (good for Buyers)

Mission          12% Absorption Rate (good for Buyers)

Langley          16% Absorption Rate (good for Buyers)

Absorption Rates Explained

If we have 100 homes on the market and we consume (sell) 18-22 (18%-22%) of these homes per month that is a balanced market, fair for buyers and fair for sellers.

If we sell under 18% it becomes a Buyers market with a lot of inventory for buyers to choose from. Sellers will have to make some price adjustments or do some minor updates such as increase curb appeal to attract a buyer.

If we sell over 22% it becomes a Sellers market. Buyers will find themselves in multiple offer situations and potentially loose out on the house the are bidding on.
