South Surrey & White Rock Market Update – September 2025
The latest numbers confirm what many of you may already be sensing: the market is moving slowly, and it continues to favour buyers.- Average sale price is down 9.7%
- Sales volume is down 41.7% — the lowest since 2023
- Sales-to-active ratio is 5.5% (buyers’ market)
- Days on market are up 15.9%
- Only 4.1% of all listings sold in August (37 out of 901 total listings)
What this means for buyers
For those looking to move up, downsize, or help family with their next step, the advantage is clear:
- More choice
- Softer prices
- Less pressure to rush
What this means for sellers
Fewer than 1 in 20 homes actually sell. That means:
- Presentation matters
- Pricing matters
- Patience matters
Looking ahead
The economic uncertainty of 2025 has already been priced into the market, which is why we’re seeing this steady softening. The next interest rate announcement (Sept 17) could set the tone for how fall unfolds, but fundamentals of choice, value, and slower pacing are already shaping decisions.
A note for families in transition
