SURREY, BC – The Fraser Valley market showed early signs of a spring thaw in February, with sales increasing over January, but continuing to trail typical levels for this time of year. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 843 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in February, a 36 per cent increase from January, but 38 per cent below the ten-year seasonal average.
