Sell My House in Mission

Selling a house in Mission comes down to two questions. What are homes like yours actually selling for, and what is a buyer allowed to do with your lot? Mission answered the second one in July 2024, and the answer depends on the size of your lot and whether it sits inside the urban boundary.

This page gives the benchmark prices, the unit rules, what the City says about short-term rentals and what I need from you to price your home.

What the 2024 rules let a buyer build on your Mission lot

Mission adopted Zoning Amending Bylaw 6299-2024-5949(163), which amends Zoning Bylaw 5949-2020, on July 17, 2024. It brought Mission's zoning into line with the Province's small-scale multi-unit housing rules.

A lot outside the urban containment boundary, or one without water and sewer, does not get these rights, so a rural or acreage property in Mission is priced mostly as a home. A lot inside the boundary on city services can be priced on what a builder could put on it.

Secondary suites are permitted outright. Coach houses and garden cottages are permitted too, but the City says they cannot be stratified, which means a buyer cannot split one off and sell it separately. If you are choosing between a lot with a coach house and a lot with room for one, tell me which you have before we write the description.

Short-term rentals in Mission

Mission's short-term rental page says rentals are permitted in all zones that allow a house, duplex, triplex, fourplex, infill townhouse, townhouse, apartment, manufactured home, coach house or garden cottage, subject to conditions. An operator applies for a home occupation business licence, files a short-term rental declaration form at 7337 Welton Street and, once the City has issued the licence, registers as a host with the Province. The page gives May 20, 2025 as the date of the zoning change, which amends Zoning Bylaw 5949-2020.

The council package for that change, which proposed Amending Bylaw 6341-2025-5949(181), described the rules as limiting a rental to the host's principal dwelling unit and up to one secondary suite or secondary detached unit on the same lot, with stays under 90 consecutive days and bed and breakfast rules folded into the short-term rental category. I have read the proposal, not the adopted text, so a buyer who is counting on rental income should have the final bylaw checked.

The Province's rule sits on top of anything Mission requires. The Province says the principal residence requirement applies in municipalities with a population of 10,000 or more. A short-term rental can only be the host's usual home, "where they make their home day-to-day," plus one secondary suite or accessory dwelling unit on the same property. A bed and breakfast is allowed only if the owner lives on the property.

Any rental for fewer than 90 consecutive days must also be registered with the Province, one registration number per unit. The Province lists the fee as $100 a year for a host's principal residence and $450 a year for a secondary unit such as a suite or cottage, and compliance with local bylaws is a condition of registration.

For a seller, the practical point is simple. If your listing mentions a suite, say whether it is permitted, and do not let the description suggest nightly-rental income that the rules may not support.

Disclosure and the title

What a seller must tell a buyer is the same across BC, and I cover it on my home sellers FAQ.

Give your lawyer the title early. A covenant, right of way or flood or environmental note can change what a buyer will pay, and it is better found by you than by the buyer's lawyer.

What I need from you to price your home

Send me the address. I will pull recent Mission sales and the competing listings near you from the MLS®, then check your lot against the City's unit rules. The benchmark table above covers the whole city, so a house on a large lot inside the boundary and one on a rural road sit far apart.

Selling in Mission: your questions answered

How many units can a buyer put on a Mission lot?

The City of Mission allows up to 3 units on an eligible lot of 280 m² or less and up to 4 on a larger one, under Zoning Amending Bylaw 6299-2024-5949(163) adopted July 17, 2024. The City ties eligibility to the urban containment boundary and to water and sewer service.

Can a buyer strata a coach house in Mission?

No. The City says coach houses and garden cottages cannot be stratified, so they cannot be sold separately from the main house.

Can a buyer run an Airbnb in a Mission house?

Only within limits. The City's page says short-term rentals are permitted in the zones that allow the listed housing types, with conditions, and need a home occupation business licence. The Province also requires the rental to be the host's principal residence, plus at most one suite or accessory unit, and registered with the Province.

Is Mission's short-term rental bylaw final?

The City's page gives May 20, 2025 as the date and says it amends Zoning Bylaw 5949-2020. The council package I read proposed Amending Bylaw 6341-2025-5949(181), so the adopted number and wording should be checked before anyone relies on them.

How current are the prices on this page?

The benchmark prices come from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's MLS® Home Price Index for the month shown. They describe a typical home across Mission, not your house.
