Living in Mission BC: What the Listings Say

Detached houses make up 179 of the 329 active listings in Mission, a 54. 4 percent share. That tilts the market toward single-family homes. Townhouses and condos each account for 47 listings, or 14. 3 percent apiece, so attached options sit well behind. Another 31 listings fall under other homes at 9. 4 percent, and 25 half duplexes round out the mix at 7. 6 percent. The median year built is 2003, which puts the typical home just past two decades old. New construction has a real presence too, with a new build share of 31. 4 percent. Median living area comes in at 2,167 square feet. Price per square foot runs a median of 423 dollars. Detached houses carry a median price of 1,099,000 dollars, while condos sit at 439,900. That spread tells you how much the dwelling type shapes cost here.

At 2,167 square feet, the median Mission home gives you room to spread out, and that space carries a monthly cost beyond the mortgage. Strata fees run a median of 360 dollars where they apply. That figure lands on townhouses and condos, not the 179 detached houses that dominate the listings. So the carrying math splits sharply by dwelling type. A condo at 439,900 dollars plus a 360 dollar strata fee is a very different monthly picture than a detached house at 1,099,000. Buildings like Montgomery and Skyview show up repeatedly in the strata pool, with 9 and 6 active listings. College Heights and Tunbridge Crossing each hold 6 as well. If you want a lock-and-leave routine, those are the addresses to watch, and the strata fee buys you exterior upkeep you would otherwise handle yourself. If you want the full 2,167 square feet without that monthly charge, the detached side is where you look. Your daily life here bends around which of those two costs you choose to carry.

Start with a price band that matches your budget, because the 329 active listings spread across every tier. Forty-seven sit under 500,000 dollars. Another 79 fall between 500,000 and 750,000, and 89 land in the 750,000 to 1,000,000 range. That middle stretch is where most of the inventory lives. Pick your band, then pick your dwelling type. Book showings across two or three price tiers before you commit. Seeing a 439,900 dollar condo next to a 719,450 dollar three-bedroom tells you more than any listing photo will.
