Abbotsford West homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Abbotsford West?

There is no single housing type in Abbotsford West. The active listings run detached houses at 36%, condos at 32% and townhouses at 27%, which means two buyers with the same budget can end up shopping for very different homes on the same streets.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 1993, with most of the market falling between 1975 and 2021, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

The 2-bedroom plan is the most common listing, with smaller and larger homes on either side of it.

A typical listing here offers about 1,417 sq ft of living space and 2 bathrooms.

34% of the listings report a finished basement, which in this city usually means either extra family space or a mortgage helper.

Enclosed parking is standard: 85% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

60% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Abbotsford West rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 215 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $428 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Abbotsford West

Transit coverage is thin here. Most listings in Abbotsford West are not close to rapid transit or a frequent bus route, so plan on driving.

Across 329 scored listings the median walk score is 61 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Cycling scores better than walking in a lot of the city, and it does here too: the median bike score across scored listings is 85.

Setting and surroundings

A view is claimed on 24% of the listings. Views are priced aggressively and are the first thing a new tower can take away, so it is worth checking what protects one before you pay for it.
