As we move deeper into fall, the real estate market in South Surrey and White Rock is continuing its transition into a more balanced and measured market. Activity remains steady, but the pace has slowed compared to last year, inventory levels are higher, and both buyers and sellers are navigating the market with a bit more caution — and intention.

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

---

🏡 Detached Homes

Detached home sales declined year-over-year, but activity increased sharply month-over-month, suggesting renewed buyer engagement as pricing adjusts and selection improves.

• Sales: 58 homes sold
• Benchmark Price: $1,754,000 (-8.1% YoY, -1.3% MoM)
• Active Listings: 622 (+14.3% YoY)
• New Listings: 165

🔍 Takeaway:
With inventory remaining elevated, buyers continue to enjoy more choice and negotiating power than we’ve seen in recent years. Sellers who are realistic on price and focused on presentation are still seeing movement, while move-up buyers may find the current conditions favourable as the market resets.

🏘 Townhomes

The townhome market showed moderate but improving activity, with sales down slightly year-over-year yet up significantly from September — a sign that buyers are stepping back in when value aligns.

• Sales: 50
• Benchmark Price: $879,100 (-8.2% YoY, -3.1% MoM)
• Active Listings: 322 (+30.9% YoY)
• New Listings: 103

🔍 Takeaway:
This segment continues to edge toward balance. Buyers are taking their time and negotiating thoughtfully, while sellers benefit most from sharp pricing, strong marketing, and homes that stand out from growing inventory.

🏙 Apartments

Condos remain the most price-sensitive and value-driven segment of the market. Sales declined year-over-year and softened slightly month-over-month, while pricing continues to adjust.

• Sales: 48
• Benchmark Price: $581,300 (-9.7% YoY, -2.0% MoM)
• Average Price: $678,890 (+1.0% YoY, +3.9% MoM)
• Active Listings: 375
• New Listings: 123

🔍 Takeaway:
This remains the most buyer-friendly category, particularly for first-time buyers and investors. With inventory elevated and benchmark prices lower, opportunities exist for those ready to act with a long-term lens.

🧭 What This Means for You

✅ Buyers
You have more selection and more time to make thoughtful decisions — especially in the condo and townhome markets. For upsizers, the pricing gap between property types continues to narrow.

✅ Sellers
Homes are selling, but today’s market rewards preparation. Strategic pricing, professional presentation, and experienced guidance are essential to stand out.

✅ Investors
With continued price adjustments and stable rental demand, particularly in apartments, this may be a smart moment to explore opportunities before conditions shift again.
