I pulled every detached house that sold in Walnut Grove since January 2022.

January to March 2022: median sale price about $1.66M.
July to September 2026: about $1.28M.

That’s roughly $380K lower, down about 23%. And it’s not smaller houses skewing it. Typical size is about the same, and price per square foot is down even more.

Year over year it’s calmer, down about 5%. Homes are sitting longer though, 18 days for the middle sale versus 6 in early 2022.

Bought here in early 2022? You’re probably down on paper. Always wanted Walnut Grove? Prices are a lot closer to late 2022 than to the peak.

That good news about Fraser Valley sales lasted one month.

August: 941 sales, up 1% on last year. September: 922 sales, down 4% on last year.

Sellers came back. 2,818 new listings in September, up 19% from August, still below last fall. Buyers didn’t follow, and prices slipped another 1%.

One month up wasn’t a recovery. One month down isn’t a crash. It’s been a buyer’s market for most of two years and September didn’t change that.

Selling? Price for this market, not the one you remember. Buying? You’ve got time and choice. Use both.

You might qualify for a variable mortgage right now and not for a fixed one. Same house, same income.

Best 5 year fixed is 4.34%. Best 5 year variable is 3.40% (Ratehub, October 5). The stress test makes you qualify at your rate plus 2%, so fixed qualifies at 6.34% and variable at 5.40%.

On a $600K mortgage over 25 years, that’s roughly $330 a month more you’d need to show the bank to qualify fixed. My math, not a lender quote.

The other side: bond markets are pricing in rate hikes over the next year. Variable is cheaper today. It might not stay that way. Inflation numbers land October 19 and the Bank of Canada decides October 28.

If you’re shopping, get pre approved both ways and know both numbers.

There’s nothing better than hearing from clients after helping them through one of life’s biggest decisions.

I’m incredibly grateful for the trust Justin placed in me on both his sale and his next purchase. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just starting to think about your next move, my goal is always the same, give you honest advice, clear communication, and a process that actually feels manageable.

Thank you Justin for taking the time to leave such a great review. It truly means a lot 🙏

If you’re an executor and a parent’s house is sitting empty in Langley or Surrey, there’s a tax clock on it.

The BC speculation and vacancy tax applies to estates. There’s an exemption when an owner dies, but it only covers the year of death and the year after.

After that, an empty estate house can be taxed unless another exemption applies. The 2026 rate is 1% of assessed value for Canadian owners, so about $15,000 a year on a home assessed at $1.5 million.

A declaration is still due every year by March 31, even when you’re exempt, and as executor that’s yours to file.

You can’t rush probate. But you can know when the exemption ends, ask the estate lawyer about it, and get the house ready early.

I work with executors on this regularly. Happy to help with the real estate side.

SOLD. 1-8533 Broadway Rd, Chilliwack.

This one mattered. My client was downsizing out of a detached home and the brief was specific. One level, no stairs, real space, no condo living, and enough left over from the sale of her house to actually fund the next chapter. On a budget that didn’t leave much room to move.

That’s a harder search than it sounds. Most of what fits one half of that list fails the other half.

We found it, and I negotiated hard on the terms as well as the price, because on a purchase like this the protections in the contract matter as much as the number.

She gets the space without the yard work, the roof, the gutters and the rest of it. And a meaningful amount of money put away.

If you’re thinking about downsizing in Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford or the Fraser Valley, this is the work I do most. Send me a message and we’ll look at the numbers on your place and what you’d actually be moving into. No pressure, no pitch.

A couple of weeks ago I said the fixed rate jump didn’t touch variable rate holders. That read just changed.

Before the Bank of Canada’s September 2 decision, markets had priced about a 94% chance of another hold. Heading into October 28, traders now see it as close to a coin flip, tilted slightly toward a hike (BNN Bloomberg).

The main driver is oil. Higher fuel costs feeding inflation, with bond yields already climbing.

The other side: RBC and Desjardins economists still expect a hold through the end of 2026. Desjardins calls October a close call.

Nobody knows which way it goes. But if you’re on a variable or renewing soon, talk to your broker before the 28th, not after.

First time buyer only looking at resale? You might be leaving up to $50,000 on the table.

The federal first time home buyers’ GST rebate gives back 100% of the GST on a new home valued up to $1 million. Between $1 million and $1.5 million you get part of it back. At $1.5 million and up, nothing.

The catch: it’s new homes only. Buying from a builder or building your own. Resale doesn’t qualify.

First time buyer has a specific meaning here, so check the CRA page and talk to your accountant before you sign.

If you’re weighing a new build against resale, put the rebate in the math. A new place that looked $50K too expensive might not be.
