The sales activity in Chilliwack was strong at the start of 2020, due to a carry-over of pent up demand from the fall/winter market. While COVID-19 has put a damper on the housing market, the demand on the housing market is expected to carry on through spring.

For Chilliwack homebuyers, the top concerns include crime rates, low housing supply and affordability. The market activity is primarily driven by move up buyers in the suburbs, retirees, and those looking elsewhere because they are priced out of the city.

The city is located in the Fraser Valley Regional District and is surrounded by mountains and agricultural areas such as Cultus Lake and Chilliwack Lake Provincial Parks.

Liveability is about quality of life at a local level. A neighbourhood’s dynamism, or lack thereof, involves a delicate convergence between independent small businesses, public institutions, arts and culture, green spaces and housing, to name a few. The COVID-19 tragedy will impact neighbourhood ecosystems differently across the country, just as the virus itself has. Yet, civic/local pride has been proliferating throughout this crisis in inspiring ways, giving Canadians hope that micro-economies, including real estate, have the resilience to be restored in the near and mid-term.
