The Langley housing market in August 2025 leaned firmly toward buyers, with sales slowing, inventory remaining high, and benchmark prices dipping slightly across all property types. While the summer market softened, experts expect activity to pick up as fall approaches.
Market Snapshot
Across the Fraser Valley, home sales fell 22% compared to July and 13% year-over-year, with just 931 units sold in August. Active listings sat at 10,445, only slightly lower than July, keeping choices plentiful for buyers. The sales-to-active listings ratio dropped to 9%, well below balanced market levels, confirming strong buyer’s market conditions.
In Langley specifically:
- New Listings: 237
- Homes Sold: 82
- Average Days on Market: 34
By Property Type in Langley
- Detached Homes:
- Average sale price: ~$1.2 million
- 65 new listings, 16 sold, 99 active
- Townhouses:

Benchmark Prices – Fraser Valley
- Detached Homes: $1,436,800 (-1% MoM, -5.7% YoY)
- Townhomes: $807,800 (-0.9% MoM, -4.5% YoY)

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Buyers now enjoy a wide selection of inventory and greater negotiating power. With prices softening slightly and homes sitting longer on the market, there is more opportunity to secure a fair deal.
Sellers face a competitive environment. Pricing strategically and ensuring properties are staged and marketed effectively are essential. Homes that are move-in ready and well-priced still attract serious buyers, but patience may be required.
Looking Ahead
August reflected a typical summer slowdown, but historical trends suggest that activity should rebound by mid-September as buyers return from summer holidays. Both buyers and sellers are watching interest rate signals closely, which could impact affordability and demand heading into the final quarter of 2025.
The bottom line: Langley remains a buyer’s market heading into fall 2025, with conditions favoring those looking to purchase. Sellers will need to remain flexible and strategic to succeed.
