What it means for a condo buyer:
- Condo sales were up 26.8% from August 2025, and active condo listings were down 13.0%.
- August sales were about 16% of active condo listings (my calculation from FVREB's numbers). The FVREB package notes that BCREA treats 12–20% as balanced. South Surrey/White Rock condos were inside that range in August, while the Fraser Valley as a whole sat at 10% (buyer's-market territory). A single month is noisy, so treat this as a snapshot, not a trend.
- The benchmark is a modelled "typical" condo, not an average sale price. Age, size, view and building condition move individual prices a long way from it.
What South Surrey's condo stock looks like
South Surrey is mostly a low-rise condo market. In the 2021 census, the City of Surrey counted 5,545 low-rise apartment units (16% of homes) and only 230 high-rise units (0.7%) in South Surrey, against 17,050 single-family homes. (City of Surrey, South Surrey Community Profile)
Where condos cluster:
- Semiahmoo Town Centre (roughly 16 to 24 Avenue around 152 Street). This is where most future apartment growth is planned. The 2022 Town Centre Plan envisions a "compact, sustainable, transit-supportive urban centre" over 30 years. Council updated it in July 2026 to align with King George Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit. (City of Surrey)
- Grandview Heights, Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners: a neighbourhood planned since 2005, with 45 apartment sales in MLS® sub-area F57 "Grandview Surrey" in the 12 months to Sep 29, 2026 (source below). See Grandview Corners condos and townhomes, or my Grandview Heights condo guide.
- King George Corridor (MLS® sub-area F55): 118 apartment sales and 77 townhouse sales in the 12 months to Sep 29, 2026 (source below). See King George Corridor.
- Next door in White Rock: apartments make up a much larger share of homes there. In 2021, 56% of White Rock's occupied dwellings were apartments, and 43% were condominiums. See White Rock. (Statistics Canada 2021 Census Profile, White Rock)

South Surrey condo FAQ
Can a strata stop me from renting out my condo? Not for long-term rentals. Since November 24, 2022, BC strata corporations can't have residential rental-restriction bylaws, and any existing ones are invalid. Stratas can still ban or limit short-term rentals. (Province of BC)
Are there still age-restricted (55+) buildings? Yes. Since November 24, 2022, the only age-restriction bylaws a strata can have are for 55 and older, with exemptions for some caregivers and family members. (Same source.)
Can I use a South Surrey condo as an Airbnb? Generally not as an investment. Surrey allows short-term rentals only when the owner lives there as their principal residence, doesn't allow tenants to host, and requires a business licence. A strata can prohibit short-term rentals entirely. (City of Surrey)
How much property transfer tax will I save as a first-time buyer? If you qualify, BC exempts the full tax on homes up to $500,000. Between $500,000 and $835,000 the exemption is $8,000, and it phases out between $835,000 and $860,000. (Province of BC)
What should I review before buying a condo? The strata documents: minutes, the depreciation report, the budget and contingency reserve, bylaws, and the Form B Information Certificate. Form B now has to include a summary of the strata's insurance coverage. (Province of BC)
