Living in Fraser Heights: What the Listings Say

Detached houses make up 72 percent of the 107 active listings in Fraser Heights, 77 homes in all. That sets the tone here. Townhouses account for 11 listings, another 13 fall under other homes, and condos are scarce at just 3. Half duplexes are equally rare, also 3. The median home was built in 2005, so much of what you tour is a couple of decades old, and newer construction is real too: 30. 9 percent of listings are new builds. The median living area runs 3,438 square feet, which explains why five- and six-bedroom houses show up so often. Prices reflect the size of the stock. The median list price sits at 1,696,800 dollars, with detached houses at a median of 1,838,000. Townhouses come in lower at 969,999. This is a neighbourhood built around large single-family homes, and the listing mix says so plainly.

A 3,438 square foot house shapes your monthly math before you factor in anything else. Heating, cooling, and upkeep scale with that footprint, and at a median price per square foot of 503 dollars, the space you pay for is space you also maintain. If you buy into a strata property, the median fee runs 331 dollars a month, which covers the shared side of that equation for townhouses and condos. Detached owners skip the strata line entirely and carry it all directly. Think about what the day actually looks like. A five-bedroom home built around 2005 means yard work, more square footage to clean, and utility bills sized to a large house. The tradeoff is room. Six-bedroom listings show up here for a reason, and families spread out across floors that a condo could never offer. Fewer than a dozen condos are active at any time. So the carrying cost conversation in Fraser Heights is mostly a detached-home conversation. You are budgeting for a house, not a suite, and the numbers move accordingly.

Start with the band that holds the most inventory. Fifty-one listings fall between 1. 5 and 2. 5 million dollars, and another 31 sit from 1 million to 1. 5 million, so those two ranges are where you will spend most of your search. Under a million, options thin out fast: 10 listings in the 750,000 to 1 million range, and only three below that. Pick your band, then pick your type. If your ceiling is closer to 969,999, you are looking at townhouses, and there are 11 active right now. If you want a detached house, set expectations near 1,838,000. Call an agent and ask to see three listings across your band this week. Twenty-six homes came on in the last 30 days, so the mix moves.
