Surrey Real Estate. Bad vibes only?

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:57:51 GMT

Dear clients, friends and neighbours ...

As I find myself wondering if I need another pair of shoes on top of last weeks hair cut and Colins next round of golf, I consider how my personal spending behavior directly impacts my profession, real estate and our local housing market.

Nothing noted below will be new to you as I have been prattling on about these ideas for three dreadfully long years however the BCREA just released its depressing (but deeply validating) economic outlook.

At the risk of repeating myself, in recent years, British Columbia’s economy has been influenced by a series of disruptions rather than a single issue.

An aggressive round of interest rate increases aimed at controlling inflation was followed by heightened trade instability, driven by shifting and uncertain tariff policies from the United States. More recently, conflict in the Middle East has pushed energy costs upward, adding renewed inflationary pressure at a time when both households and policymakers were expecting more stability.

Together, these factors have significantly weakened consumer confidence.

Although inflation has eased somewhat, the overall cost of living is high. Since 2021, the costs of necessities like food and housing have climbed roughly 30 percent. These changes are not just figures on paper — they have directly impacted our everyday spending choices and reduced financial flexibility in most households.

And yet, jobs and wage growth continue to outpace inflation?

This paradoxical environment highlights the fact that for many, the decision to buy or sell a home continues to be heavily influenced by worry about the future. To quote the BCREA;

“ … in short, the vibes are bad … ”

The April 2026 economic outlook expects real estate activity to remain below average for most of the year. Home values and pricing expected to remain flat or experience further downward pressure.

Without diminishing the variables above, the relentless optimist in me feels it important buyers and sellers also consider …

It all evens out in the end. When looking to make a move in a flat or contracting real estate environment; what is lost in your sale price is made up in your purchase price. Thus, the net result is the same.
Timing the bottom is harder than you think. Market volatility makes timing considerations harder than ever. Bottoms happen in late recession phases when pricing has corrected, inventory is plentiful and buyers are nervous, where several of our markets are today.
Demographics are all good. Economic markets are cyclical while short and long-term demographics in BC are always in support of home ownership. Population growth (sans non permanent resident inflow) is expected to normalize in 2027. Stability in government policy and population growth will allow housing demand to strengthen.
People are pent up. Softer pricing has set the stage for a strong rebound when markets stabilize. Many of our neighbours have had their goals on hold for years now.

So as buyers and sellers continue to wait on the sidelines, I set aside my impulse for a new pair of shoes, take a moment of silence for those of us in professions tied to economic cycles and do my best to channel the good vibes.

Jenn

Spring 2026 Real Estate. What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know.

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:12:29 GMT

As we head into the spring market—traditionally the busiest time of year for real estate—the mood in Surrey and the Fraser Valley feels well, bittersweet. The Fraser Valley market, including Surrey, is coming off a quiet year with lower sales and inventory than we have seen in a decade.

So far 2026 has shown … more listings than usual with market conditions still in the buyer’s favor. Prices have been stabilizing slightly after declines of 7 to 15 per cent by 2025-year-end. Buyers slowly returning as we see well priced homes selling - but economic uncertainty still looms large.

What can buyers and sellers can expect this spring? Lets take a look …

Buyers. If you’re a buyer, this spring could be one of the most favorable windows we’ve seen in years.

More options. Higher inventory means you’re not competing for the same limited homes
Less pressure. Gone for now are the crowds and the frantic bidding wars
More leverage. Improved negotiating power as sellers adjust their expectations for price
Improved affordability. Equals more buying power and more financial options.

Sellers. Let’s be honest, selling a home looks a lot different in recent months.

Reduced demand. Low to no demand. Longer days on market with few showings
Dynamic ask prices. Ongoing conversations over ask price and position
Buyers market conditions. Less leverage when negotiating offers
Softer sale prices. Most homes are selling at or less than their neighbour did last month or last year

Most forecasts call for flat to modest growth in 2026. Any growth will likely be gradual; driven by pent-up first-time buyer demand as this category has waited a long time for mortgage rates to find a bottom. Even still, some will likely continue to hold off for a deeper bottom, especially in higher priced areas like South Surrey and White Rock.

However, markets do not stay in buyer territory forever. As confidence returns—especially if interest rates continue to stabilize - competition could increase as we move further into spring.

Either way, in this chaotic economic climate I think most of us can agree some balance and predictability would be welcome.

Until then, consider us a real estate resource. We are here to help. It’s what we do.

U.S. Political Chaos: The Uninvited Guest at Canada’s Open House

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:30:59 GMT

With all the political tensions in the United States we thought it timely to consider how US elections, court rulings, protests, and/or policy shifts can affect our local real estate market.

While Canada has its own economic drivers, our housing market does not operate in isolation. The U.S. is our largest trading partner, our closest cultural influence, and a dominant force in global financial markets. Political instability south of the border ripples straight into Canadian housing markets but the impact isn’t always economic. It’s psychological.

Business Confidence

Because Canada’s economy is tightly tied to U.S. trade and capital markets, uncertainty can dampen business confidence — which then affects employment, housing and lending. If markets fear instability investors may move money into bonds (lowering yields) or demand higher yields due to risk.

Lender Confidence

U.S. political unrest indirectly influences bond yields, central bank messaging, and inflation expectations. While the Bank of Canada sets domestic rates independently, global financial pressure can influence policy tone. Either scenario influences mortgage rates — which directly affects affordability and consumer psychology.

Buyer Confidence

When headlines are dominated by instability, buyers tend to pause. Even if their personal finances haven’t changed, uncertainty makes people more conservative. We see this play out as buyers delaying purchase decisions, avoiding bidding wars and offering below asking.

In uncertain or transitional markets:

• Buyers keep more cash on hand

• Scrutinize the value or small and large purchases more closely

• Homes priced above the most recent sales in the area sit longer

• Negotiations (and emotions) intensify

In robust markets like Surrey and White Rock, shifts in buyer psychology can noticeably cool activity.

Investor Confidence

Investors tend to be globally aware and market sensitive. If U.S. political unrest impacts global equities or bond markets, this category of buyers may redirect capital or sit on the sidelines temporarily.

Seller Confidence

Sellers are deeply influenced by media tone. If news cycles feel chaotic, potential sellers tend to wait until things appear more settled - especially those looking to downsize who are often selling their largest asset.

Further, many sellers are also buyers. If they’re unsure about broader economic conditions, they delay selling — especially if upgrading means taking on larger debt.

American political unrest typically causes short-term confidence swings, not long-term structural damage, unless broader global recessionary forces are triggered. The real driver in real estate is perception. Housing is emotional. Confidence is momentum. Momentum shapes markets.

There is however opportunity in this “wait and see” environment.

For sellers: equity gain consideration paired with patience, strategic pricing and presentation can get your home sold in a short amount of time for a solid price.

For buyers: Uncertainty reduces competition providing you with time to consider options and creates leverage in negotiations.

Regardless of conditions, informed clients make stronger real estate decisions.

Spring 2026. Why now is a great time to sell a home.

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:47:03 GMT

Dear clients, neighbors, and friends,

Spring is almost here and if you’re a homeowner thinking about selling, you’re not alone. Traditionally, spring has always been one of the busiest and most rewarding seasons to list a home and while the 2026 market may look different from the frenzied pace of past years, there are still powerful reasons to feel confident about selling this season.

Here are five reasons to sell your home this spring …

Spring demand is real: Seasonality matters. Spring consistently brings more foot traffic and stronger buyer engagement. Longer days, improved weather, and the desire to move before summer drive increased buyer activity every year. Families aiming to move before the next school year begin their search now. Depending on the weather, 2026 may start sooner rather than later. Regardless of the start, spring remains the strongest seasonal window in real estate.
Inventory is healthy: More sellers may enter the market in spring however inventory levels in many markets remain below pre-pandemic norms. That means well-priced homes still stand out and sell successfully. Further, more balanced conditions lead to more sustainable markets and a less stressful transaction for all.
Equity gains are significant: Over the past several years homeowners have built significant equity. Even with price growth stabilizing in the last few years many sellers are sitting on strong equity gains. Gains vary from region to region, but according to the Fraser Valley MLS Home price index release in January; Surrey, Sullivan/Panorama, South Surrey and White Rock have all seen 18% to 21% value growth over the last five years. Upsizing, downsizing, or relocating equity equals leverage.
Serious buyers are a thing: Although some have to sell first, today’s buyers aren’t window-shopping. Higher borrowing costs mean those actively touring homes are motivated. When they find the right home, at a fair price, they are prepared to act.
You are in control: You can’t control interest rates, inflation, or the noise from the U.S. but you can control pricing, preparation and timing. Sellers who approach the market strategically are still achieving excellent outcomes.

For those already on the market …

If your home is already listed and market response has been lack-lustre you might be wondering what has changed.

Although global economic factors are in flux the truth is today’s market is more balanced. During the height of the pandemic-era boom, historically low rates fuelled intense competition, now buyers are more selective, more cautious, and taking more time with their decisions. Life events like job relocations, growing families, and downsizing don’t pause because of interest rates. What has changed is urgency. This change is not bad but it does require those of us selling a home today to adjust our expectations.

If your home is priced correctly and presented well, it will attract attention but, in most cases, the process will take longer then in years past.

So, hang in there friends!

Even if showings are slower than expected the buyer who truly needs your home is out there. Patience will protect your negotiating power and help you avoid making reactive decisions. Spring 2026 may not look like the hyper-competitive market of a few years ago but that’s okay. Real estate markets evolve but the fundamentals remain the same.

If you’re thinking about making a move this spring or looking to reposition your listing, now is the time to plan strategically and step forward with clarity.

We can help.

Selling a Home in 2026. A Sellers Guide.

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 03:20:35 GMT

Happy New Year Clients, Friends and Neighbours!

As we enter 2026 the local real estate market continues to evolve. We thought it timely to write a post recapping recent data helping to inform those looking to sell this year.

If you had a home listed in 2025 it’s likely you know it was one of the slowest years in decades for real estate sales in the Fraser Valley. Down 16 percent when compared to 2024.

Prices have softened, but not dramatically, Depending on where your live in the valley, average sale prices are down 6 to 14 per cent. Zoom out however and we see home prices down 24 per cent overall since March of 2022.

Inventory levels climbed to their highest point in over 40 years. This meant sellers had to focus on their listings price and presentation more than ever before!

But that’s all in the past. Let’s look to the future! (with an optimistic eye)

If you or someone you know has been thinking of selling in 2026 here are 3 tips to help navigate this market with confidence:

The stars are overrated. Don’t reach for the pricing peak. Get competitive. Better yet, start competitive. With pricing on a steady down curve realistic, attractive pricing is your best friend. Overpricing can cost weeks of wasted time or worse, cause your listing to become last years news.
Make a great first impression. Don’t wait for buyer feedback. Upgrade your home with features a buyer can really sink their teeth into like a mortgage helper in the basement or a new kitchen or bathroom. If cash is tight get your homes presentation better than it has ever been before. And, do all this before launching your listing.
Good vibes only. Unlike the rapid sales and multiple offers of years past. Homes take longer to sell. Offers are low and most buyers are stretching financially to make it happen. Bring your most patient, flexible, and sturdy self to the table.

An optimistic lens helps us see we are in a time of transition not collapse and there are opportunities for both sides. Prices aren’t escalating and the 2026 buyers know it, but with the right mindset and strategy happy sellers are still a thing!

So get yourself (or your neighbour) connected with an area expert. One who can interpret hyper local trends and guide you through these quiet conditions.

If you are in Surrey, South Surrey, White Rock or the communities that border us, we can help.

Real Estate Rebound in 2026. A Christmas Wish.

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 01:25:16 GMT

After lofty expectations heading into this year, the Surrey / White Rock housing market has disappointed with activity falling steadily throughout the year making 2025 the third consecutive year of below average sales.

Surrey remains firmly entrenched in a buyer’s market but unfortunately easing prices and abundant inventory have not been enough to help buyers overcome challenges around affordability, economic pressures and tightened lending conditions.

However, after three years of less than cheerful conditions its likely Santa will deliver a 2026 Real Estate Recovery. The elves are hard at work sprinkling sleighfuls of tinsel and cheer, lining up the market forces that will be needed to make a strong, steady, housing market recovery.

And Its not just the elves that are optimistic.

Analysts are expecting sales to increase due to pent-up demand, improving buyer sentiment, and infrastructure-led growth. Home prices are expected to make a moderate increase — not a runaway boom, but a healthy, sustainable rise. Investment opportunities in condos and rental properties will continue. Lastly, improved affordability and increasing supply is expected to spur on first time home buyers who have been waiting for softer pricing, more options and better leverage.

Let’s take a closer look …

1. Market Fundamentals: Stabilization & Recovery

According to the BCREA, 2026 is projected to bring a rebound in home sales across British Columbia, with MLS residential sales rising significantly. As inventories stabilize (they have been elevated in 2025, especially in the Fraser Valley / Surrey region) , the market could shift from a buyer’s market toward a more balanced territory, reducing downward pricing pressure.

2. Moderate Price Growth

With rising buyer confidence and improving macroeconomic conditions, average home prices in BC are forecast to increase 4 per cent in 2026 according to BCREA projections. For Surrey specifically, this could translate into modest “catch-up” growth, particularly in segments like condos and townhomes, which have seen more inventory but also strong long-term demand.

3. Stronger Demand Driven by Transit & Development

The expansion of the Surrey–Langley SkyTrain is a powerful catalyst. As transit infrastructure grows, areas along the transit corridor will likely become more desirable, driving demand for high-density housing such as condos and mid/high-rise developments. Mixed-use and transit-oriented developments are already in the pipeline, giving Surrey a long runway for population growth, densification, and increasing property values in the right nodes.

4. More Choices for Buyers & First-Time Homeowners

The surge in listings in 2025 (especially in Surrey) has given buyers more options. For first-time buyers in particular, 2026 could be a sweet spot: with more inventory, reasonable negotiation power, and potentially stabilizing or slightly improving mortgage rates (depending on broader economic conditions), they might find favourable entry points in townhomes or condos. Some local forecasts specifically suggest 4–6% appreciation for mid-range condos/townhomes in Surrey, driven by transit and development momentum.

5. Rental Market Strength & Purpose-Built Rentals

Surrey’s 2025 Housing Needs Report shows ongoing growth in purpose-built rental stock. As new rental units come online—especially near transit corridors—the rental market could remain tight, supporting valuation in investor-owned multifamily units. For investors, the combination of rising rents, growing demand from renters, and long-term capital appreciation makes Surrey an appealing play.

6. Balanced Risk, But a Strong Upside Tilt

While there are risks (e.g., higher-than-expected interest rates, macroeconomic shocks), in this optimistic scenario those risks don’t derail recovery. Instead, Surrey benefits from a “soft landing”: not a speculative boom, but a sustainable, steady rebound. Sellers who price strategically (especially in development areas) may see good interest. Buyers who act in 2026 may lock in good value before potential further growth in the latter half of the decade.

If you are curious how the above affects your real estate goals in the new year. Moving up, down or sideways, we can help you craft a realistic Christmas wish list.

Surrey Real Estate. Nothing to write home about.

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 15:27:13 GMT

Optimistic as we have been, the fall real estate market has been nothing to write home about.

Despite improved borrowing rates a slight uptick in September / October Real Estate sales in Surrey and the Fraser Valley remain sluggish, firmly entrenched in a buyer’s market. As we move further into fall/winter homes sales have continued to underperform, leaving buyers, sellers, and investors wondering why.

It is unreasonable to single out any one factor or policy driving today’s market dynamics (as there are many) so lets look at a few …

Economic Uncertainty: Inflation, interest rate volatility, political volatility, currency fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, migration, demand and affordability pressures are all at play. Yikes. This uncertainty weighs heavily on buyer confidence and has ripple effects that touch every corner of our local real estate market. According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, “… recent economic uncertainty seems to have weighed more heavily here … ”.

Ongoing Price Declines: Locally, benchmark home prices have been dropping for six consecutive months now. Compared to this time last year, Surrey, Sullivan/Panorama and Cloverdale detached homes are down -5 per cent, townhomes down -6 per cent, apartments down almost -8 per cent. South surrey / White Rock looks similar. Detached homes down – 8 per cent, townhomes down – 6 per cent, apartments down – 8 per cent. While falling prices might seem like a boon for buyers, they signal uncertainty, causing both buyers and sellers to hesitate.

Rising Inventory: The Fraser Valley is experiencing decade-high inventory. As of September, the sales-to-active listings ratio sits at just 9 per cent, well below the 12–20 per cent range considered balanced. This trend cools any sense of urgency a buyer might have otherwise, making buyer cautious, analytical and strategic.

October 29th the Bank of Canada reduced its target for the overnight rate by 25 basis points to 2.25% but according to the BOC “ … the Canadian economy is facing a difficult transition. The structural damage caused by the trade conflict reduces the capacity of the economy and adds costs. This limits the role that monetary policy can play to boost demand while maintaining low inflation. The Bank is focused on ensuring that Canadians continue to have confidence in price stability through this period of global upheaval. “

So where does that leave those looking to enter the market in the coming months?

Buyers: Be optimistic but strategic, lock down your financing terms and watch global trends to time your purchase locally.

Sellers: Stay informed and most important, adaptable. Watch interest rate and consumer trends to time your listings launch or adjust your asking price when needed.

Investors: Continue to diversify. Have all your finances is order so you can act quickly. Work with a real estate professional who understands how to find opportunity amongst the factors noted above.

In summary, until economic confidence improves and supply better aligns with demand, local real estate markets are likely to remain subdued. If your curious how you might best navigate these conditions, reach out.

We can help you draft a smart and strategic plan that aligns with your goals.

Surrey Real Estate. Cue Elevator Music.

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 20:20:15 GMT

Dear Clients, Neighbours and Friends,

Despite our patience and optimism for a brisk fall market the uptick in buyer demand has yet to materialize. There are many factors at play, pointing to a market that is neither overheating nor collapsing but continues to be highly sensitive to external pressures.

Canadian Economy: The focus of global financial markets has shifted to concerns about growth prospects in Canadian and American economies. Tariffs drove sharp declines in Canadian exports along with business investment. Stabilizing (but lower) trade and ongoing growth in household spending may help the economy rebound but as rising unemployment and ongoing tariff clarity loom, we expect economic growth to be hampered.

Interest Rates: The Bank of Canada has made a tangible shift in policy rates with their most recent lowering of interest rates on September 17th. Fixed rates have been drifting higher thru the summer however recent economic data should cause this trend to reverse course. The BCREA expects the uninsured five – year fixed rates to come down to around 4.45 per cent by year end. Variable rates have moved in close alignment with fixed for most of the year, but the impacts of rapidly evolving trade policy will likely pull variable rates closer to 4 per cent by year end. We are optimistic this downward trend in lending rates will stimulate stronger sales activity by the new year. The next rate announcement is October 29th.

Housing Supply: Resale homes / active listings are on the rise however current supply trends are highly variable. Contributing to this variability is the flow of new construction units for sale. Projects that were underway in recent years are now on sale, saturating their local market. Other areas have projects that developers have tabled due to weak demand, some even shifting their concepts from condos to purpose built rental housing. Despite the variability, we expect supply across housing types and markets to steadily tick upward as we move into 2026.

Buyer Confidence: Despite the favorable rates and increase in supply buyers continue to be cautious around the idea of making a move. With pricing slowly (but surely) trending downward, the thinking for most is to wait for pricing to soften further before jumping in. In this scenario, we see sellers of well positioned homes in good locations attracting the few who must make a move but improving financing and supply conditions continue to give buyers all the leverage and bargaining power.

Reflecting on the factors noted above, we anticipate a modest rebound in sales activity at some point between now and the new year. All the broader trends point to it, but more patience will be required. Sellers in these conditions need to reevaluate their ask prices to lead the downward trend in pricing, as opposed to follow. Asking at or below recent sale prices should do the trick but depending on local conditions, ask prices may need to be 10-15 per cent below recent sales.

For sellers looking to downsize or move sideways, there are many opportunities to take advantage of.

If your curious what we mean, give us a call to chat about it. We can help draft a course of action that is in line with your short- and long-term real estate goals.

5 Reasons Why Now is a Great Time to Sell a Home.

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 17:56:04 GMT

The British Columbia Real Estate Association’s (BCREA) most recent housing forecast brings positive news for Surrey homeowners considering a move.

After a quieter couple of years, the outlook for the remainder of 2025 points to a healthier, more active market. Buyers who have been holding off are starting to recognize that waiting for greater certainty could mean missing opportunities.

This leaves Surrey set to benefit from renewed buyer demand and upward pressure on pricing.

Here are 5 reasons why now is a good time to sell …

Market activity is expected to pick up …

BCREA is projecting a solid increase in residential sales across the Fraser Valley through late 2025. Surrey, as one of the most desirable and fastest-growing cities in the region, is seeing this momentum firsthand. Buyers who paused during higher interest rate periods are now looking to come back, creating fresh energy and stronger demand. For sellers, this means more showings, more offers, and more opportunities to move forward confidently.

Home prices have been stable

While Surrey has been experiencing softer pricing over the last year the BCREA forecast calls for modest but stable growth in home values. This is good news for sellers who choose to position their home competitively in terms of asking price. Current benchmark pricing for detached homes in Surrey, Panorama, Cloverdale and White Rock range from $1.44,000 to $1.79,000. Townhomes $811,000 to $921k. Apartments $572, 000 to $588,000.

Inventory levels have been stable

Even though more listings are expected to hit the market this fall, Surrey’s housing supply remains relatively tight as new listings dropped over the summer. This is especially true in sought-after markets like Sullivan/Panorama, Cloverdale, South Surrey and White Rock. Sellers who go the extra mile to present their home well are more likely to stand out and sell quickly.

Interest rates are expected to come down

The Bank of Canada's policy rate is holding steady at 2.75% however several forecasts suggest the BOC might cut its rate further by year-end. The next BOC rate decision is scheduled for September 17th.

A unique window of opportunity

Surrey will continue to draw buyers thanks to its family-friendly communities, growing transit infrastructure, and proximity to Vancouver. Selling now allows you to take advantage of early market momentum while supply is still limited and pricing still stable. It’s a sweet spot that combines incoming demand with moderate supply.

The bottom line for sellers …

According to the BCREA’s latest forecast, the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 is shaping up to be a promising time to sell. A stabilized interest rate environment, a new wave of buyers, and market regulations designed to encourage market balance can all work together to help sellers achieve their real estate goals.

If you have been considering a fall list, give us a call. We can help you work through home values, timing considerations and calculate the costs associated with a move.

Surrey Real Estate. Buyers time to shine.

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 18:04:45 GMT

Clients, Neighbours and Friends,

Real Estate sales activity in Surrey, South Surrey and White Rock have continued to level off as we move further into a typical seasonal slowdown.

This makes conditions ideal for home buyers in these areas but the persistent gap between buyers’ and sellers’ price expectations, higher borrowing rates and tariff uncertainty continue to suppress home sales overall.

“The housing market, like other sectors, continues to process the effects of the ongoing tariff threats,” said Baldev Gill, CEO of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, “The slowdown in home sales this spring and summer has largely been driven by uncertainty and fear. Buyers and sellers are taking measures to offset the anticipated impacts, knowing that the economic effects of tariffs will likely take some time to be fully realized throughout the system.”

July’s stats release from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board logged sales levels approximately 23 per cent below the 10-year average. Conversely, home supply is now nearly 50 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average. This same stats release shows the sales-to-active listings ratio now firmly planted in buyers market territory at 11 per cent. (buyers markets are below 12 per cent, sellers markets are above 20 per cent) …

… this comes as no surprise to anyone trying to sell their home in recent months.

Sellers have been working harder than they did a year or two ago. In a market where buyers are cautious and have ample choice, successful sellers are going the extra mile to meet buyers where they’re at—staging their home, handling repairs up front, and most importantly, pricing their homes realistically for current market conditions.

From a pricing perspective, we are still seeing sale prices soften across home types but particularly detached homes in Surrey, South Surrey and White Rock. If we use the MLS Home Price Index to assess this, pricing has been on a slow, steady decline for the last 3 years.

If historical trends hold true, we could potentially remain in buyers market territory into 2027 as real estate markets typically fluctuate in 5-year cycles on average.

Buyers market notwithstanding, the future is still bright for sellers! Consider, when compared to 5 years ago, homeowners across property types have realized approximately 30 to 40 per cent equity growth!

We can all get paralyzed by the noise around us and its no doubt we live in an age of global uncertainty however, this is not the first time we have faced these challenges, and it won’t be the last.

Real Estate markets have peaks and valleys - and - there has never been a future peak lower than the past one.

So if you want to chat about your Real Estate goals, give us a call. It’s what we do.

Surrey Real Estate. What to Expect for the Rest of 2025.

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 18:56:27 GMT

As we move through the second half of 2025, the Surrey housing market continues to lean in favour of buyers — particularly in urban centers like the Fraser Valley. Increased inventory, high interest rates, sluggish sales and cautious economic outlooks are all working together to put downward pressure on pricing, giving buyers more negotiating power than they’ve had in years.

According to the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA) and recent MLS® data from boards across the province:

Home prices are projected to decline 2%–4% by year-end, with steeper drops in areas like the Fraser Valley. Smaller markets (like the Okanagan, Nanaimo, and Kamloops) are showing more stability.
Sales continue to remain below the 10-year average as many buyers continue to wait on interest rate cuts or have simply been priced out of the market due to mortgage stress tests.
Inventory is projected to keep rising as many sellers have been on the sidelines longer than they wanted or needed to be. This trend will continue to offer more options to buyers and intensify competition among sellers.
Interest rates may come down further as The Bank of Canada has hinted at rate cuts by late 2025, however affordability challenges and economic uncertainty are expected to linger into 2026.

All the above has translated to less showings, longer days on the market and lower offers for sellers. Moving forward, buyers will continue to demand and expect more from sellers regarding pricing, terms, conditions and overall flexibility.

If you’re thinking about selling your home in this environment, it’s natural to feel uncertain, we get it. But with the right strategy, preparation, and mindset, you can still make a successful sale. Here are some things to consider …

Price Strategically: Overpricing is one of the biggest mistakes Fraser Valley sellers are making in 2025. Overpriced homes are receiving little to no activity, sitting longer on the market and facing eventual price drops to get the job done. Your Realtor should complete a detailed market analysis using recent local sales — not current local asking prices — to price your home competitively from day one.
Prep Like a Pro: Surrey and White Rock buyers aren’t desperate — they’re selective. Your home needs to stand out in photos, videos, and in-person. A thorough cleaning, decluttering and small updates like new paint, updated lighting and appliances etc. can make a big impact.
Be Flexible : Limiting viewing times, offering rigid move-out dates and/or price negotiation can deter buyers. If you’re competing with dozens of listings, flexibility is key.
Offer Incentives: With demand so limited, motivated Surrey sellers are getting creative. Things like offering credits for closing costs or repairs, including bonus appliances like AC units or EV chargers, offering pre-inspection reports to ease buyer concerns and accepting conditional offers (a return of the “subject to sale” clause) is being seen across the Fraser Valley.
Hire Local: Now more than ever, you need a hyper-local-Realtor who understands your areas trends and activity. Local realtors have a grip on what buyers want or need in your area and understand how to position your home above the local competition.

For sellers who are not pressured to sell in todays conditions here are some important things to keep in mind …

If you’re buying in the same market: Lower purchase prices may help to offset the softer sale price of your current home.
Waiting comes with risk: More homes could hit the market, rates may not drop as fast as expected, or local economic changes could further impact pricing.

In summary,

A buyer’s market does not mean homes aren’t selling - there are sales happening all through your sub area every day. But it does mean only the best-prepared, best-priced, and best-marketed homes can get the job done. So whether you’re selling a detached home in South Surrey, a condo in White Rock, or a townhome in Surrey/Panorama/Cloverdale, a smart strategy will make all the difference.
