As of June 2026, the Fraser Valley benchmark price is $884,800 — down 7.1% year-over-year and 0.9% month-over-month, and now 26% below the 2022 peak. That single number blends three very different markets: detached houses, townhomes, and apartments, each moving at its own pace last month. Here's the $884,800 figure broken down by property type and city, with what it actually means if you're buying or selling.
What a "Benchmark Price" Actually Measures
A benchmark price isn't a simple average of what sold — it's the Home Price Index (HPI) value of a "typical" home with consistent features in a given area, which makes it more stable and comparable month-to-month than a raw average that can swing based on which homes happened to sell. When the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) reports $884,800, that's the price of a representative home across all property types region-wide — not any specific house.
The $884,800 Benchmark, Broken Down by Property Type
Apartments are seeing the steepest year-over-year decline of the three property types — a pattern showing up across the Fraser Valley, not just in one city. Detached homes remain the largest driver of the blended $884,800 figure simply because of their higher price point.
How Long Homes Are Sitting on the Market
Detached: 37 days on the market on average.
Townhome: 33 days on market on average.
Condo/apartment: 38 days on the market on average.
Active listings: 10,377 region-wide (+2.3% month-over-month, -4.3% year-over-year).
June 2026 sales: 1,147 (+2% month-over-month, -4% year-over-year). More listings plus roughly a month to sell points to a market with real negotiating room for buyers — a meaningful shift from the multiple-offer conditions of a few years ago.

Note on methodology: Surrey's figure here is a simple average price (not the HPI benchmark), so it isn't a like-for-like comparison with the Fraser Valley and Langley benchmark figures above — but it's useful context for the price range buyers are seeing.

What's Driving the Pullback in 2026
"The Fraser Valley spring market has under-performed expectations despite improving affordability and more choice for buyers," said Ishaq Ismail, chair of the FVREB. "Opportunities are clearly there. The question is whether qualified buyers on the sidelines recognize the value available today."
Rising inventory (10,377 active listings), softer prices across every property type, and buyers who remain cautious despite improved affordability are the three forces behind the current $884,800 benchmark. Fraser Valley home prices are now close to flat over the last o five years, though still well above levels from a decade ago.
What This Means If You're Buying
More inventory, longer average days on market, and prices down across every property type add up to real negotiating leverage that wasn't available during the 2021-2022 peak. If you're weighing whether to buy now or wait, the honest answer depends on your specific budget, timeline, and target area — explore the buying process to see how Jas can help you find and negotiate the right property.
What This Means If You're Selling
A softer market doesn't mean homes aren't selling — 1,147 sales closed in June alone, up 2% from May. It means pricing accuracy and presentation matter more than they did in a seller's market.

The Bottom Line
$884,800 is the headline, but the real story is in the breakdown: detached, townhome, and apartment prices are all falling at different rates, inventory is rising, and homes are taking about a month to sell. Whether that favours you as a buyer or seller depends on the property type and area you're focused on — Jas Kandola, as a Real Estate Agent In Surrey, tracks these numbers month by month across Surrey, Langley, Delta, and Cloverdale to help you time your move around real data, not headlines.
