Surrey Townhome Market Update – June 2026

If you've been wondering whether now is a good time to buy a townhome in Surrey, the latest Fraser Valley Real Estate Board statistics suggest buyers continue to have the upper hand.

Inventory remains historically high, benchmark prices continue to soften, and homes are taking longer to sell compared to previous years. For qualified buyers, today's market offers significantly more selection and negotiating power than we saw during the peak market of 2021–2022.

Surrey Townhome Prices Continue to Decline

The City of Surrey benchmark townhome price in June 2026 was:

$781,500

That's:

📉 Down 8.2% compared to June 2025
📉 Down 0.6% compared to May 2026

Although prices have eased, Surrey remains one of Metro Vancouver's most affordable markets for buyers looking for more space than a condo without the cost of a detached home.

Buyers Still Have More Choices

The Fraser Valley continues to be firmly in Buyer's Market territory.

Current conditions include:

Over 10,000 active listings across the Fraser Valley
More inventory than buyers
Less competition
More time to view properties
Stronger negotiating opportunities
Fewer multiple-offer situations

Unlike the competitive market of 2021 and early 2022, many sellers today are adjusting prices to attract buyers.

Surrey Townhome Sales

June statistics show:

174 Surrey townhomes sold
Sales increased slightly compared to May
Demand remains steady despite lower prices

Many buyers continue waiting for lower interest rates, while others are taking advantage of today's softer pricing.

Average Time to Sell

Surrey townhomes are taking approximately

33 days

to sell on average.

That gives buyers significantly more time for:

✔ Home inspections

✔ Financing

✔ Reviewing strata documents

✔ Comparing multiple properties

What This Means for Buyers

Today's market gives buyers opportunities that simply weren't available a few years ago.

Advantages include:

Larger selection of homes
Better negotiating power
Fewer bidding wars
More subjects being accepted
Sellers more willing to negotiate repairs and price

For many first-time buyers and move-up buyers, this is one of the most balanced markets we've seen in several years.

What This Means for Sellers

Homes are still selling—but pricing matters more than ever.

The best-performing Surrey townhomes continue to be those that:

Are priced correctly
Show well
Have updated interiors
Offer desirable layouts
Are located near SkyTrain, schools or shopping

Overpricing often results in longer days on market and price reductions.
