By Andy Schildhorn • February 3, 2026

🏡 Fraser Valley home prices back to pandemic-era levels under the weight of economic headwinds and sustained inventory 📉 SURREY, BC – Home prices in the Fraser Valley fell for the tenth consecutive month in January, pushing the Benchmark price below $900,000 for the first time since spring 2021. The Benchmark price for a typical home in the Fraser Valley dropped one per cent in January to $897,200, down 6.9 per cent year-over-year.
