- The Vancouver Sun reported a dip in real estate prices and sales in the Fraser Valley. “Andrey Pavlov, a business professor at Simon Fraser University, said this spring’s slowdown in the Fraser Valley has not been particularly startling considering . . . developers (last year) stopped building new homes and possible vendors of existing homes became reluctant to sell just as buyers began jumping back into the market. ‘Of course that was going to push prices very high very quickly,’ Pavlov said. ‘Now that situation has been remedied.'”
