A quarter acre, give or take: room for the shop, the garden, the trampoline and the future all at once.
Ten thousand square feet is where a lot stops limiting you. Detached shops and triple garages fit. Pools fit. Additions and suites fit, subject to zoning we will confirm for you. On this peninsula, land in this bracket concentrates in the older grids of Ocean Park, Crescent Beach and central South Surrey, where the original subdivisions were generous.
A big lot is also a long-term position; land is the part of the property that does not depreciate. Every current listing on 10,000 square feet or more is gathered below, live from the MLS.
The board’s September read on White Rock and South Surrey houses: the detached benchmark is $1,612,500, down 2.2 percent on the month. 60 houses sold in September (48 the month before) with 600 active at month end, a sales-to-active-listings ratio of 10.0 percent; under 12 percent is conventionally called a buyers’ market, 12 to 20 balanced, over 20 a sellers’ market. 175 new listings came on and the median sale was $1,628,000.
The rest of the peninsula: the townhome benchmark is $797,100, down 2.8 percent on the month, with a sales-to-active-listings ratio of 16.6 percent for townhomes; the condo benchmark $544,400, down 1.2 percent, with 13.9 percent for condos. Valley-wide it took an average 45 days to sell a house, 38 a townhome and 46 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®, October 2026 report.
