As summer approaches, the real estate market in South Surrey and White Rock is showing renewed activity alongside a growing sense of balance. Sales picked up across most property types compared to May, while inventory remains elevated—creating a market that feels active, yet far more thoughtful than the fast-paced conditions of recent years.

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

---

🏡 Detached Homes

Detached home sales increased notably year-over-year and also rose month-over-month, signalling stronger buyer confidence as summer begins.

• Sales: 73 homes sold
• Benchmark Price: $1,844,800 (-6.4% YoY, -2.3% MoM)
• Active Listings: 661 (+18.0% YoY)
• New Listings: 217

🔍 Takeaway:
While pricing has softened compared to last year, sales momentum suggests buyers are stepping back in—especially with more choice available. This is a market where well-priced, well-presented homes are moving, and move-up buyers may find favourable conditions as the gap between buying and selling continues to narrow.

🏘 Townhomes

The townhome market showed steady and stable activity, with sales holding firm month-over-month despite a slight dip compared to last year.

• Sales: 54
• Benchmark Price: $935,000 (-4.5% YoY, -2.2% MoM)
• Active Listings: 267 (+18.7% YoY)
• New Listings: 116

🔍 Takeaway:
This segment continues to operate in balanced territory. Buyers are negotiating confidently, while sellers are seeing the best results when pricing is sharp and presentation is dialled in—particularly as competition increases.

🏙 Apartments

Condos remain the most value-driven segment of the market, with strong inventory levels and pricing that continues to adjust.

• Benchmark Price: $589,300 (-7.5% YoY, -2.9% MoM)
• Average Price: $751,208 (+3.9% YoY, +9.6% MoM)
