SOUTH SURREY & WHITE ROCK MARKET UPDATE

When prices drop, they drop across the board. So yes, you might sell for a little less than you hoped, but you’ll also buy for less, often much less . What you lose on your sale, you make up on your buy. When you look at the full picture, your total cost to move could actually be lower than it would have been in a hotter market. I know this kind of market can feel uncomfortable. It’s hard when your plans are delayed and life feels stuck. But there’s a silver lining. This kind of market r ewards smart strategy and calm decision-making . The motivated sellers, the ones who price with the market, are still selling and moving on to their next chapters. That’s why I created the Mandy Moves Method to help families in South Surrey and White Rock make confident, well-timed moves even when the market feels uncertain. It’s about seeing the big picture and having a plan that takes you from where you are now to where you want to be without the stress or guesswork. If you’ve been thinking about selling, downsizing, or helping your parents move closer, this could actually be the perfect time. Watch my full October Market Breakdown on YouTube for the deeper dive where I explain what these numbers mean for you and how to move forward strategically. Because real estate isn’t just about houses, it’s about moving your life forward.

Ever feel like your life’s on hold while you wait for your home to sell? The boxes are stacked, the plans are ready, but nothing’s moving. Across South Surrey and White Rock, that’s exactly how many homeowners are feeling right now. Homes are sitting longer, showings are slower, and people are wondering if it’s even worth listing right now. Here’s the thing. It’s not your home. It’s the market. In October, there were 680 homes listed across South Surrey and White Rock, but o nly 62 actually sold . That’s less than 10 percent. Another 129 listings were withdrawn, which tells us sellers are feeling the strain and pulling back. Detached homes sold for an average of $2,013,393, which is a 2.8 percent increase from September. But sales overall were down 14.9 percent, and we now have 12.2 months of supply, which means it would take over a year to sell all the current listings if nothing new came on the market. That’s officially a buyer’s market where buyers have time, options, and negotiating power. The MLS ® Home Price Index (HPI), which measures the true underlying value of homes rather than just average sales, shows prices are down 8.1 percent year over year. Townhouse prices are also down 6.8 percent from last year. In other words, prices have adjusted, but that’s not necessarily bad news.
