Here’s what’s really happening in the South Surrey and White Rock real estate market, and why this is actually a good time to make a move if you’re planning one.Right now, there are 582 active listings in South Surrey and White Rock. Since November 1, 135 homes have been withdrawn, with 62 pulled just since December 1. Over that same period, 65 homes have sold, including 14 since December 1.

That tells us something important. This isn’t a frozen market. It’s a selective market. Buyers are out there, but they’re careful. And sellers who price and position correctly are still selling.

Pricing is where context matters.

In November, the average sale price in South Surrey and White Rock was $1,991,441, helped by 22 sales over $2 million. In December, the average shows $1,566,201, but that number is skewed because there have only been 5 sales above $2 million so far this month.

This doesn’t mean values have dropped sharply. It means different segments of the market are moving at different speeds.List-to-sale ratios support that.

In November, the average list price was $2,057,909, selling at $1,919,410, about a 7% difference.From December 1, the average list price is $1,657,205, selling at $1,566,201, about a 6% difference.

Buyers are negotiating, but deals are absolutely getting done when expectations are aligned.
Market pace has slowed as we head into year-end. November’s sales-to-active ratio sat at 9.9%, while December is closer to 2.4%. That’s normal seasonally — and it creates opportunity.

Mortgage rates are stabilizing, and in some cases easing, which is quietly improving buyer confidence. While broader economic uncertainty still exists, prices across British Columbia are expected to remain flat or slightly down in average annual terms. That creates something we haven’t had in years: choice and flexibility.And here’s the most important part.

This is a good time to move because you can.

When you sell today with the right strategy, you’re not racing anyone. You’re not competing in bidding wars. You have time. You can negotiate your next purchase from a position of calm, not pressure. 

That’s exactly what the Mandy Moves Method is designed for. It’s not about timing the market perfectly. It’s about creating a clear, confident plan so you can sell, buy, and move forward — without the stress.

If you’re thinking about downsizing, right-sizing, or planning your next chapter in South Surrey or White Rock, this is a moment where strategy matters more than headlines.
