Verified real estate experts in Surrey

The Surrey real estate market — Aug 2026

Surrey is one of British Columbia's fastest-growing cities and a more attainable gateway to Metro Vancouver. Its composite benchmark is reported through the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, for the board's territory as a whole.

In August 2026, the MLS® benchmark price in Surrey stood at $869,900, down 7.2% year over year. By property type: detached $1,431,700 (−8.7%), townhouse $781,500 (−8.2%), and apartment $460,400 (−9.9%). Source: Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), August 2026.

Surrey's draw is attainability and growth: buyers weigh its relative value against Vancouver proper, while rapid population growth and major transit investment underpin demand across the city's distinct communities. But the city spans very different worlds — waterfront South Surrey–White Rock, dense City Centre, and the family neighbourhoods of Newton and Cloverdale — so a single benchmark hides wide gaps. Buyers benefit from a broker who knows which sector matches their budget and commute, and from financing arranged before they compete for a listing.

From the waterfront to the suburbs, pricing varies sharply by sector, which makes verified local guidance valuable. Payotte lists one verified professional per sector across Surrey's 6 covered districts, ranked on Google reviews, experience and an active licence (BCFSA, the Law Society of British Columbia, the Appraisal Institute of Canada). One reference per neighbourhood, free and independent.
