If you’re buying or selling in South Surrey or White Rock, understanding what’s really happening in the market is critical. Below is a clear breakdown of the December 2025 SnapStats data, covering detached homes, condos, and townhomes, and what these trends mean moving into 2026.
As a local South Surrey realtor, I focus on translating raw data into practical advice — because stats only matter if you know how to use them.

Location, layout, and condition are playing a bigger role than ever in determining which homes sell — and which sit.
What This Means for Buyers
You have more negotiating power, especially for detached homes over $1.25M
Many sellers are open to price adjustments, conditions, or closing flexibility
Condos and townhomes under $900K still move quickly — be prepared to act
The best opportunities are often homes that have been sitting but are fundamentally good properties
This is a market where strategy matters more than speed.
What This Means for Sellers
Pricing correctly from day one is critical
Overpricing leads to longer days on market and weaker negotiating positions
Homes in high-demand price ranges can still sell strongly with the right marketing
Detached sellers should expect fewer showings, but more serious buyers
Preparation, presentation, and positioning are what separate sold homes from stale listings.

Final Thoughts: Entering 2026 with Clarity
