Market snapshot
Across White Rock and South Surrey, MLS® HPI benchmarks have recently been around $1.6 million for a detached home, $800,000 for a townhouse and $550,000 for an apartment/condo, lower than a year earlier, and buyers have had more listings to choose from than sales. These numbers cover all homes, not just new ones; FVREB does not report new construction separately. For current figures, see my Fraser Valley market stats page.

Questions buyers ask
Are presales listed on the MLS®?
Some are, many are not. Developers often sell presales directly through a presentation centre. Ask me and I can check any South Surrey project for you.
What protection does a BC presale buyer have?
Under BC's Real Estate Development Marketing Act, the developer must give you a disclosure statement before you sign, and you can cancel by written notice within 7 days. Source: BC Financial Services Authority, Presales Information.
Do I pay property transfer tax on a new South Surrey home?
Not on a qualifying principal residence up to $1,100,000 under BC's Newly Built Home Exemption, with a partial exemption to $1,150,000.
Can first-time buyers get the GST back?
Yes. The federal First-Time Home Buyers' GST Rebate refunds the full 5% GST on a qualifying new home up to $1 million (maximum $50,000). See my BC new home GST guide.
How much deposit does a South Surrey presale need?
Most projects ask for 10% to 20% in staged instalments during construction, held in trust until completion.
Is transit improving in South Surrey?
King George Boulevard bus rapid transit is being designed from Surrey City Centre to Semiahmoo Town Centre (City of Surrey, May 2026).
Does it cost more to use a Realtor for a presale?
No. The developer pays the buyer's agent fees. Register with me before your first presentation-centre visit so I can represent you.
