South Surrey, White Rock & Fraser Valley Real Estate Market Update – Summer 2025

The real estate market in South Surrey, White Rock, and the Fraser Valley is shifting—and that’s great news for both buyers and sellers. With luxury homes holding strong and buyer opportunities growing, now is the time to take a closer look at what’s happening locally.

Here’s what you need to know from the latest reports, brought to you by Jared Gibbons – a top South Surrey realtor with proven results in all market conditions.


🌊 South Surrey & White Rock Homes Among BC’s Most Expensive

South Surrey and White Rock remain two of British Columbia’s most prestigious real estate destinations.

  • Several homes in Ocean Park and White Rock beachfront were recently ranked in the Top 500 most expensive properties in BC.

  • One standout property on Indian Fort Drive in South Surrey was assessed at over $19 million.

With sweeping ocean views, exclusive cul-de-sacs, and luxury estates, this area consistently draws both local and international buyers. These properties aren’t just homes—they’re lifestyle investments.

📍 Want to explore the most prestigious neighborhoods?
Browse current listings in Ocean Park and White Rock.


📉 Fraser Valley Prices Ease While Sales Rebound

The Fraser Valley real estate market is shifting toward balance, opening up new possibilities for homebuyers.

According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board:

  • Sales rose 13% in May, showing steady buyer activity.

  • Active listings climbed to nearly 11,000, the highest since 2020.

  • Benchmark prices dipped slightly, with detached homes averaging $1.52M and townhomes at $844K.

Buyers now have more choice, more negotiation power, and less competition—especially in places like Langley and Cloverdale.

For sellers, a strong listing strategy is key. Proper pricing and standout marketing can still lead to quick, top-dollar results.


🔑 Opportunities for Buyers and Sellers

💼 For Buyers🏠 For Sellers
More inventory = better optionsSouth Surrey luxury homes still in high demand
Price stability = good valueList now to stand out before the fall surge
Balanced market = negotiating powerLeverage strong buyer interest with professional marketing

Want a better understanding of where your home stands? Get your free market evaluation today.


🔮 What to Expect This Fall

Experts from outlets like REW.ca and Better Dwelling predict that interest rate cuts may arrive later this year, which could re-energize demand and increase competition.

That makes summer 2025 a strategic window to buy or list before momentum builds again.


✅ Final Thoughts from Jared Gibbons, South Surrey Realtor

As a top 1% Fraser Valley realtor, I’ve helped hundreds of families navigate shifting markets just like this one. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing, or preparing to list a luxury estate—I’m here to help.

  • Buyers: Take advantage of increased inventory and stable prices in Langley, Cloverdale, and South Surrey.

  • Sellers: Ocean Park, Crescent Beach, and White Rock continue to command top dollar when marketed right.

Why Now Is an Encouraging Time for Langley Real Estate

Langley’s real estate market is transitioning, and that brings exciting opportunities for both buyers and sellers. While prices have dipped slightly, this reflects market balance, not weakness. Here’s what the latest data tells us and why it matters.


📉 1. More Inventory = Power for Buyers

  • According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, there are now 10,887 active listings—the highest level in nearly five years.

  • GlobeNewswire reports this creates untapped opportunities for buyers with less competition, more negotiating room, and time to make informed decisions.


📈 2. Langley Sales Are Rebounding

Despite broader regional slowdowns, Langley showed strong month-over-month gains:

This hints at a local resurgence, with buyers acting on well-priced listings.


💰 3. Prices Are Softening—But Still Strong

Fraser Valley prices dipped slightly in June, but they’re still well above pre-pandemic levels, and FVREB CEO Jeff Chadha emphasized this is “a healthy correction”.

As detailed by FV Current, benchmark prices in June 2025 were:

  • Detached: $1.52M (down 1.8% from May)

  • Townhouse: $844K (down 1.6%)

  • Condo: $555K (down 2.6%)

This easing in price offers a great entry point for buyers without signaling market weakness.


🏡 4. Langley Still Delivers Incredible Value

Compared to Vancouver, Langley continues to offer larger homes, more land, and community-focused living—all at more accessible price points.

With new developments, SkyTrain expansion plans, and excellent schools, Langley remains a prime destination for families and long-term investors.


🔮 5. A Balanced Market is Taking Shape

  • With interest rate cuts on the horizon, many expect renewed demand by fall.

  • As GlobeNewswire notes, many buyers are on the sidelines waiting—meaning those who act now can get ahead of the rush.


✅ What This Means for You

For BuyersFor Sellers
Explore more options with less competitionList now to beat the fall surge
Take advantage of short-term price adjustmentsProper pricing attracts serious buyers
Lock in long-term value before interest rates shiftUse strategic marketing to maximize exposure

Langley’s market isn’t stalling—it’s rebalancing. With more listings, slightly lower prices, and a solid long-term outlook, it’s an ideal window to make your move.
