Living in Agassiz: What the Listings Say

Detached houses make up 52. 1% of the 48 active listings in Agassiz, 25 homes in all. That share sets the tone. The median home here was built in 1994, and the typical size runs 1,535 square feet. Beyond the detached count, the mix spreads across 10 other homes at 20. 8%, eight townhouses at 16. 7%, four condos at 8. 3%, and a single half duplex. Prices follow the type. Detached houses carry a median of $799,900, townhouses sit at $579,900, and condos come in at $176,750. The overall median list price is $650,000, or about $414 per square foot. New construction accounts for 15. 9% of what is on the market. So most of what you will tour predates the 2000s, with a smaller band of recent builds filling in the gaps.

A 1,535 square foot home at $414 per square foot gives you room to work with. That is the typical footprint here, built around 1994, enough space for a family without the upkeep of something oversized. For strata properties, the median fee runs $220 a month. Townhouses sit at a median of $579,900, condos at $176,750, so a condo buyer carries the smallest monthly load while still paying into shared maintenance. Three listings each sit in Grace Estates and Maplewood Village, with two more at Northgate. Those are the strata communities worth knowing by name. Your carrying cost depends on which door you walk through. A detached house at $799,900 means mortgage and upkeep on your own. A condo at $176,750 plus that $220 fee means someone else handles the roof and grounds. Nineteen of the 48 active listings fall between $500,000 and $750,000, so most buyers land near the $650,000 median. Factor the strata fee into any unit you tour. It changes the math more than the sticker price suggests.

Start with the 17 listings that came on in the past 30 days. That is a steady flow for a market of 48 active homes, enough that waiting a week or two often brings something new to the surface. Pick your price band before you tour. Twelve listings sit under $500,000, 19 fall between $500,000 and $750,000, and the pool thins above that. If you want a four-bedroom, know that only five are active, with a median of $1,049,900, so those move on their own schedule. Book a day to see a detached house at $799,900 beside a townhouse at $579,900. Walking both tells you more about Agassiz than any number on a page.
