Only 16 are listed, about 7. 4 percent, at a median of $590,000. Half duplexes and other home types round out the rest, adding 18 listings between them. The median home was built in 2014, so much of what you tour is recent construction, and 29. 4 percent of active listings are new builds. Median living area runs 1,970 square feet at $500 per square foot. That mix explains the spread. You can look at a $590,000 condo or a detached house near $1. 5 million within the same neighbourhood. Strata fees on the attached stock carry a median of $350. Plan around what each type actually costs.

The median 1,970 square foot home gives you room to spread out, and at $500 per square foot that space is priced consistently across the townhouse and detached stock. A three-bedroom sits at a median of $789,000, while four bedrooms run $868,000. Step up to five and the median jumps to $1,298,000. So your monthly picture shifts with size. On attached homes, the $350 median strata fee covers building upkeep and shared maintenance, a fixed line you can budget against alongside the mortgage. Most of what you tour dates to 2014 or later, which usually means lower repair surprises in the near term. Right now 215 homes are listed. Nearby, SFU's new medical school in Surrey has started classes, and SkyTrain construction is closing part of a major highway for months. Factor the commute in. The size and strata numbers tell you the carrying cost. The location tells you the rest.
