House-scale rooms, a real yard, one shared wall: the middle path more buyers should know about.
Duplexes are the peninsula's quiet compromise: more space than a townhome, less upkeep and outlay than a detached, and often a location the same money could not buy otherwise. Newer half-duplexes especially live like full houses.
The details to check are the shared ones: strata or bare-land arrangements, party-wall agreements, insurance. We review them on every duplex we touch. The current duplex listings are below, live from the MLS.
The board’s August read on White Rock and South Surrey houses: the detached benchmark is $1,649,200, down 7.5 percent on the year and up 0.1 percent on the month. 48 houses sold in August into 616 for sale, 7.8 percent of listings (5.5 percent a year ago), which the board’s scale calls a buyers’ market; 137 new listings came on and the median sale was $1,623,523.
The rest of the peninsula: the townhome benchmark is $820,300, down 11.1 percent in a year, with 11.8 percent of townhomes selling in the month; the condo benchmark $550,800, down 6.2 percent, with 16.2 percent of condos selling. Valley-wide it took an average 45 days to sell a house, 37 a townhome and 45 a condo; the board publishes no peninsula-only days figure. A benchmark is the board’s index price for a typical home of that type, not an average asking price. Source: Fraser Valley Real Estate Board MLS®, September 2026 package.
