White Rock houses: your questions answered

How many houses are for sale in White Rock?

At the end of October 2026 the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board figures showed 131 houses listed in White Rock. That is a month-end count and it moves daily; ask Jared what is on the market today.

Is White Rock a buyers’ or sellers’ market for houses?

White Rock houses sold at a sales ratio of 9% in October 2026, a buyers’ market on the reports’ scale (under 12% favours buyers, over 20% favours sellers).

How many houses sold in White Rock from June to October 2026?

49 houses sold in White Rock over those 5 months, out of 294 in all of South Surrey and White Rock.

Is White Rock part of Surrey for permits and taxes?

No. White Rock is a separate city: its houses follow White Rock Zoning Bylaw 2506 and the White Rock OCP (Bylaw 2220), and its property taxes are levied by the City of White Rock at White Rock's own rates. A house one street into Surrey follows Surrey's bylaws instead, so the municipal boundary on the specific lot decides which rulebook, permit office and tax notice apply.

Can I add a legal suite to a White Rock house?

Yes, if it is registered: the City permits one accessory registered secondary suite per lot, up to 90 m² with no more than two bedrooms, fully integrated into the house rather than in a detached building. The owner must live in the primary residence, one extra on-site parking space is required, and the suite must pass the City's registration and inspection process.

Which elementary schools serve White Rock houses?

White Rock has two public elementary schools in School District 36: White Rock Elementary at 1273 Fir Street and Peace Arch Elementary at 15877 Roper Avenue. Which one a child attends is set by the exact home address in the district's catchment map, not by the school being nearer, so run the address through Surrey Schools' School Locator before relying on either school.

Does a hillside or waterfront house need extra approvals?

Often, yes. The OCP places the waterfront in a Waterfront Development Permit Area and sets Environmental Development Permit Areas for floodplain, ravine lands and significant trees, and watercourses, so work on a slope, ravine or shore lot can need a development permit on top of a building permit. Check the lot against the OCP's Schedule C environmental permit area map before designing a rebuild.

What did houses in White Rock sell for?

From November 2025 to late October 2026, White Rock recorded 85 house sales at a median of $1,565,000.

How long do houses take to sell in White Rock?

The median was 37 days from listing to sale, and homes sold at a median 95.6% of the last list price (6% sold above list), for sales November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

More South Surrey and White Rock houses

White Rock Houses: streets and boundaries

  • White Rock is its own municipality in the Metro Vancouver Regional District, separate from Surrey, with its own zoning bylaw, Official Community Plan (OCP) and tax rates.
  • The OCP's Town Centre — the city's growth core — is the area bounded by North Bluff Road, Johnston Road, Russell Avenue and George Street.
  • The waterfront runs along Marine Drive at the city's south edge, and the OCP notes that steep topography makes the waterfront difficult to reach from the Town Centre above it.

White Rock Houses: the housing stock

  • Most of White Rock's land is detached houses: the OCP states the majority of the city's land area is dedicated to single-family dwellings in its Mature Neighbourhoods.
  • New house construction here is mostly replacement, not growth: the OCP records that the greatest proportion of housing starts in the decade before the plan were apartments, and future growth is directed to the Town Centre, Town Centre Transition and Lower Town Centre areas.
  • Houseplexes are the OCP's infill form for the house neighbourhoods: the plan allows houseplexes throughout the Mature Neighbourhoods.

White Rock Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • White Rock's house rules are in its own Zoning Bylaw, 2024, No. 2506, adopted June 27, 2024 to incorporate small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH) regulations required by provincial legislation — Surrey's Bylaw 12000 does not apply here.
  • A secondary suite in a White Rock house must be registered with the City: the City's suite rules cap a suite at 90 m² and two bedrooms, allow one suite per lot, require the owner to live in the primary residence, require one extra on-site parking space, and require tenants to stay 90 days or more.
  • A suite cannot sit in a detached accessory building and cannot be stratified: the City states a suite must be fully integrated into the primary dwelling.
  • Many house lots need a development permit before building: the OCP designates a Waterfront Development Permit Area, a Mature Neighbourhood Infill Development Permit Area, and Environmental Development Permit Areas for floodplain, ravine lands and significant trees, and watercourses.

White Rock Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • An unregistered suite is not a saving: the City applies an annual sanitary sewer levy to both registered and non-registered suites, and suites that receive a compliance notice must meet the Building Code and Zoning Bylaw within six months or be decommissioned.
  • White Rock charges a separate Secondary Suite Service Fee of $319 a year on the tax notice, on top of the $415 single-family sanitary sewer user fee.
  • Solid waste is a flat City charge, not part of the tax rate: $429 for each detached single-family home in the 2026 rates.

White Rock Houses: development and new projects

  • Monaco, at 1350 Johnston Road, is the current named project in the city's housing reporting: the City's Housing Target Progress Report records one mixed-use development at that address whose 97 residential units all count as net new units.
  • White Rock is under a provincial Housing Target Order: the City's report states a five-year target of 1,067 units to be met by June 30, 2029.
  • An OCP update is in front of Council in 2026: the City's council report index lists Bylaw 2593, an OCP amendment for provincial legislation alignment and a North Bluff Corridor Plan update.

White Rock Houses: costs and taxes

  • White Rock's 2026 residential (Class 1) total tax rate is 4.31895 per $1,000 of assessed value, of which the City's own general and library levies are 2.73006 per $1,000; the balance is school, TransLink, Metro Vancouver and BC Assessment levies.
  • 2026 utility charges on the City's rates sheet: sanitary sewer $415 for a single-family home, drainage utility fee calculated per parcel by size, runoff factor and zoning under Bylaw No. 2560, and a $429 solid waste fee per detached house.

White Rock Houses: getting around

  • White Rock Centre is the area's bus exchange: TransLink's South of Fraser planning work lists routes 321 (White Rock / Surrey Central Station), 351 (White Rock Centre / Bridgeport Station), 531 (White Rock Centre / Willowbrook) and 361 (Ocean Park / White Rock Centre) as White Rock routes.
  • Route 531 is the east-west link out of the city: TransLink's timetable shows it running from White Rock Centre via 152 Street, 24 Avenue and 192 Street to Langley Centre and Willowbrook.
  • There is no SkyTrain station in White Rock; route 351 is the listed connection to Bridgeport Station and the Canada Line corridor.

White Rock Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the lot against the OCP's Environmental Development Permit Areas before buying a slope or shore property: the OCP designates floodplain, ravine lands and significant trees, and watercourse permit areas, each with its own guidelines.
  • The consolidated OCP buyers read online may lag the current bylaw: the City warns the consolidation (current to October 21, 2024) is for convenience only and does not warrant that it reflects current provisions, and a further OCP amendment (Bylaw 2593) was in front of Council in 2026.
