The Chilliwack* July 2013 real estate
market had 208 residential real estate sales that include single family houses, bare land sales, multifamily properties in this case a duplex, and strata homes such as apartments and townhouses. The real estate analysis of the Chilliwack* market below will focus on the two largest areas: single family houses and strata homes.
Sales of Single Family Detached Houses
The
Chilliwack* real estate
board area (CADREB) which includes the outlying communities of Agassiz, Harrison
Hot Springs, Hope and parts of the Fraser Cascade Regional District recorded a total of 137 sales of single family houses in July 2013. This 137 was
exactly the same total that we had a month earlier in June but less than the 146 sales a year earlier in July 2012. When compared to the 10-year average this July
had a 82% strength factor again similar to that of a month ago.
A ten-year average for the month of July
would suggest that the Chilliwack* single family detached housing market should
get about 168 sales. July showed moderate activity with its 82% strength factor;
February operated at about 68% of its 10-year average, March dropped to 60%,
April was 77% , May 82%, June is 83% and now July at 82%. Pretty steady the last few months and that is a welcomed sign.

The median listing price of a Chilliwack*
single family house dropped again from $359,900 in June 2013 to $349,900. This has been a
downward trend we have been following with median listing prices up to $369,900 only 3 months
ago. This shows that competitive factors still favour the buyer and that sellers are reacting by lowering asking prices.
Inventory levels have grown to 1028 Chilliwack* single family houses available as of this date. This is up from 994 a month earlier.
The lowest sale price in July is $16,900
and the highest $1,300,000; an incredible range, giving Chilliwack* flexible
housing options for every Buyer.
The average selling price of a Chilliwack*
single family detached house in July 2013 was $376,500 up from the $366,000 in
June 2013. Such averages can be skewed by the small number of sales and a few larger purchases at the upper end of the real estate market.
The median sale price was $349,500 is unchanged from the $349,500 of a month earlier.
The list to sale ratio of almost 13.5 % remains unchanged from a month earlier leaving the market in Buyer's territory.
