The floor plan that pays: a mortgage helper downstairs, or the answer to where mom is going to live.
Suited homes serve two buyers at once: families offsetting a mortgage with rental income, and households bringing parents or adult children under one roof with separate doors and dignity intact. On this peninsula they concentrate in newer builds designed for it and older homes converted over the years.
The word "suite" covers everything from authorized self-contained units to informal basements, and the difference matters to financing, insurance and income. We verify which one you are actually buying. Every current suited listing is 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 7.4 percent on the year and down 2.2 percent on the month. 60 houses sold in September into 600 for sale, 10.0 percent of listings (6.2 percent a year ago), which the board’s scale calls a buyers’ 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 11.2 percent in a year, with 16.6 percent of townhomes selling in the month; the condo benchmark $544,400, down 7.7 percent, with 13.9 percent of condos selling. 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 package.
