Spring is officially underway, and while the real estate market in South Surrey and White Rock hasn’t fully heated up, it is showing clear signs of re-engagement. Activity has picked up compared to late winter, inventory is building quickly, and both buyers and sellers are navigating a market that feels more deliberate and balanced than the frenzied pace of past years.

Here’s what we’re seeing on the ground this month:

---

🏡 Detached Homes

Detached home sales were slightly lower year-over-year, but activity increased month-over-month, suggesting buyers are stepping back in as selection improves.

• Sales: 41 homes sold
• Benchmark Price: $1,904,300 (-3.9% YoY, +1.3% MoM)
• Active Listings: 549 (+53.8% YoY)
• New Listings: 219

🔍 Takeaway:
With a significant increase in detached inventory, buyers have more choice and more negotiating power than we’ve seen in recent spring markets. Sellers who price strategically and present their homes well are still seeing interest, while move-up buyers may find opportunities as selection expands.

🏘 Townhomes

The townhome market showed moderate spring activity, with sales down year-over-year but stronger than late winter, as more listings came to market.

• Sales: 53
• Benchmark Price: $946,400 (-3.4% YoY, +0.5% MoM)
• Active Listings: 252 (+88.1% YoY)
• New Listings: 133

🔍 Takeaway:
This segment is clearly moving toward balance. With inventory rising sharply, buyers are taking their time and negotiating more confidently. Sellers are seeing the best results when homes are priced realistically and stand out through presentation and marketing.

🏙 Apartments

Condos remain one of the most active and value-driven segments of the spring market. Sales held steady year-over-year, while pricing showed modest adjustment.

• Sales: 53
• Benchmark Price: $626,000 (-1.2% YoY, +1.6% MoM)
• Average Price: $683,894 (-15.6% YoY, -9.8% MoM)
• Active Listings: 423
• New Listings: 185

🔍 Takeaway:
This continues to be the most buyer-friendly category. First-time buyers and investors may find compelling opportunities as inventory remains high and pricing adjusts—particularly for those focused on long-term value.

Homes are selling, but today’s buyers are discerning. Strategic pricing, strong marketing, and thoughtful preparation are key to standing out in a competitive spring market.
