Surrey Housing Market & Real Estate Trends
The Surrey Housing Market includes very different housing patterns across Whalley/City Centre, Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton and Cloverdale, from high-rise condos around Surrey City Centre to townhouses, detached homes and lower-density residential areas elsewhere in the city. These Surrey Market Statistics track Surrey Home Prices, sales, inventory, new listings and sales-to-active-listings ratios by property type so buyers and sellers can see how the Surrey Real Estate Market is changing.
Surrey Real Estate Prices can vary considerably between a City Centre condo, a Fleetwood townhouse, a Newton detached home and a Cloverdale property. Surrey Housing Prices, Surrey Sold Prices and a Surrey Average House Price are therefore more useful when interpreted within the relevant community and property type, while Surrey Real Estate Statistics provide the broader trend. Use the charts below to compare current conditions, then explore Surrey Homes for Sale to compare active listings with the market data and watch our monthly Market Statistics videos for additional regional commentary.
How to Read Surrey Market Charts
Interpreting these charts is not difficult, but it might take a few minutes of study the first time you look.
MLS® HPI Price: Indicates the current sale price of a “representative” house, condo or townhouse. The exact number isn’t what’s important here – look at the trends to assess how the market is moving relative to the past three years.
Median Sales Price: The median sales price is the middle price of all homes sold in a specific period. Half of the sales were above this price, and half were below. It reflects the actual prices buyers and sellers agreed on, but it can swing up or down depending on what types of homes happened to sell that month (e.g., more luxury homes or more entry-level units).
Total Inventory: The total number of homes currently listed for sale at the end of the month. This shows how much supply is available in the market. Rising inventory usually signals more selection for buyers, while declining inventory can indicate tightening conditions and increased competition.
New Listings: The number of homes that were newly added to the market during the month. This shows how much fresh supply is entering the market. Higher levels of new listings mean more options for buyers, while lower levels can signal limited selection and increased competition for available homes.
Sales: The total number of homes that successfully sold during the month. The stronger the market, the greater the number of sales!
Sales to Active Ratio: This ratio is widely used by industry insiders to quantify the strength of the market. It represents the percentage of the available inventory that is sold each month. Generally speaking, a ratio of below 0.12 indicates a slow market (“a buyer’s market”), while a ratio of over 0.20 indicates a hot market (“a seller’s market”), with many more buyers than sellers and intense competition for properties. A ratio between 0.12 and 0.20 reflects a “balanced” market, where the number of sellers and the number of buyers are roughly balanced.

Where These Surrey Real Estate Statistics Come From
The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) publishes monthly municipal market statistics for Surrey. The embedded charts on this page currently identify Greater Vancouver REALTORS® as their chart data source, while tracking Surrey Home Prices and market activity for detached homes, townhouses and condos across the Surrey Housing Market.
These Surrey Real Estate Statistics are updated as new monthly data becomes available. Reviewing several months of Surrey Market Statistics provides better context than relying on one month alone, especially when Surrey Real Estate Prices are influenced by different property types and local submarkets. Surrey Housing Prices should therefore be read as a broader trend rather than as a substitute for comparable sales in a specific Surrey community. For broader regional comparisons, see our Market Statistics page.
