On this coast the view is the asset: Semiahmoo Bay at dinner, the Gulf Islands on a clear day, and a sunset that never repeats.
View homes run from Marine Drive condos above the promenade to upper-hillside estates that hold the whole bay. No two sightlines are equal, and the market knows it; two similar houses a street apart can live in different price brackets because of what the windows do.
The discipline is knowing which views are protected by position and which could narrow with the next build below. We have watched these streets long enough to tell you. Every current view listing is below, live from the MLS. This is our home specialty; the portfolio shows what we have represented.
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.
