Saeed's Market Take

Burnaby showed buyer-friendly conditions in August 2024 — there was more supply than usual, giving buyers extra time and negotiating leverage. The average sold price came in at $1,070,623, up 9% from the prior month — a sign that demand is holding firm. At 36 average days on market, sellers need realistic pricing — buyers have the time to compare options and push back on overpriced homes.
