In January 2026, the sales-to-active listings ratio for condominiums in Abbotsford was 11.83%, while detached homes recorded 9.65%. Both figures fall well below the balanced market range, indicating a pronounced buyer's market across major property types. The January 2026 sales-to-active listings ratio for condominiums in Abbotsford was 11.83% and for detached homes was 9.65%, both indicating a buyer's market where inventory clears slowly relative to supply.
