Surrey

Meaningfully more affordable housing across every property type, strong SkyTrain connectivity via the Expo Line with the Surrey-Langley extension underway, and genuine neighbourhood diversity — from high-rise City Centre living to acreage properties in the south.

Manan Bhullar is a Surrey-based REALTOR® licensed in British Columbia, and he works with buyers and sellers in Surrey and throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley — a BC licence covers the whole province. He can pull recent comparable sales, arrange viewings, and price and market a listing, drawing on his BBA in Marketing from SFU's Beedie School of Business.

Yes. Given what Surrey is known for, the opportunities that fit best are rental condos and multi-family buildings close to transit. Commercial financing works differently from a home mortgage, usually with a larger down payment and closer scrutiny of the property's income or your business, and for this kind of property the key checks are the rent roll, existing tenancies under BC's Residential Tenancy Act, and the building's condition. Manan handles commercial and industrial sales and leasing; his apartment building and retail guides go deeper on each property type.

It depends on what you're after. Surrey is best summed up as “BC's second-largest city”, and it tends to suit buyers wanting newer construction. Visiting at different times of day and comparing it with nearby communities is the best way to judge the fit.

According to the September 2026 Fraser Valley Real Estate Board benchmarks, typical prices were — Surrey: $1,386,200 for a detached home, $758,600 for a townhome, and $447,600 for an apartment or condo. Benchmarks describe a typical home, so a specific property can sit well above or below them depending on size, age, lot, and location; recent sold comparables are the reliable guide.

As of the September 2026 Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) report, the board described the Fraser Valley as having spent most of the last two years in a buyer's market, with active listings 31% above the 10-year seasonal average and sales down 4% from a year earlier. For Surrey, that generally means more negotiating room for buyers and a need for sharper pricing and presentation for sellers.
