When is the Best Time of Year to Buy a Home?

Choose the right time of year to look for a new home.

January is the best time to make an offer on a home. Not many buyers want to brave the cold to shop for a home, so prices are the lowest. Properties also take longer to sell. This means sellers are more likely to accept a lower offer.

Please go to the link below and see the quick search links for detached homes under 1.3K, or attached homes under 800K in White Rock South Surrey Neighbourhoods. Or feel free to create your own customized search!

YOU can also search Sold listings.  So you know what homes have been selling for in the neighborhoods you are most interested in.

What activity to expect when Listing your home

How many showings should I expect in the first week?

There have been plenty of showings during your home's first weekend on the market & lots of positive feedback.  Typically, the homes we see selling in the first weekend are in hot, walkable locations, near transit, and or perfectly marketed and purposely staged, highlighting the rooms functionality. 

Bottom line as with most things in Real Estate, there is no way to predict what will happen!

My best advice, as always, is to work with a trusted and experienced Realtor, who will price and stage your home well, make adustments when necessary and it WILL sell!

Thinking of selling and want to talk?  I am here & always happy to help.  I've been helping my clients successfully sell, stage & declutter their homes for the past 6 years, in many different scenarios.

I would love to be of assistance in getting your home ready to List!

December 2023 Real Estate Sales South Surrey /White Rock

The latest housing assessment figures in British Columbia show residential property markets softening across the province, but analysts say it may not bode well for affordability in the coming year.

The concerns stem largely from the potential drop in interest rates later this year, which may spur homebuying activity while housing supply remains limited, driving up prices.


Contact me for a customized analysis.  I look forward to hearing from you!

New Homes & Pre Construction in South Surrey, Surrey, BC

Are you looking for a new home or presale development in South Surrey?

Why choose South Surrey?  Well, why wouldn't you?  It is a great place to live and call home.  Enjoy an active lifestyle with all the parks, trails, beaches, great schools, golf courses, gyms, recreation centres, aquatic centre, community centres, restaurants, shopping, big box stores, outlet malls, and a real sense of community.  South Surrey has something for everyone.  From Crescent Beach to Pacific Douglas we have homes that suit every lifestyle.  Urban to organic settings.  I have happily called many neighbourhoods in South Surrey home for the past 20 years!

Sandwiched between Hwy 99, and Hwy 15 (176th Street), you have many options to get into the city or to travel East into the Valley and beyond.  With the US Peace Arch border minutes away. You have lots of options for day trips. 

Although no need to travel far as you will also be minutes from beautiful White Rock beach and the iconic pier (Canada's longest pier). Stroll the 5 klm promenade or walk along the beach.  Bring your dogs (not allowed on the pier or the promenade during the summer months) but always allowed on the beach.  Grab an ice cream, gelato, or coffee from the many cafe's and ice cream palors.  Or sit on one of the many patios and bask in the sun and enjoy the views (especially the gorgeous sunsets).  Also famous for all the great fish-n-chips eateries in East Beach!

Should I Buy a House Now or Wait?

Should I Buy a House Now or Wait?

Yes, you should buy a house now if you’re financially ready. Mortgage interest rates are high right now, but we don’t know for sure when they’ll go back down—the next bank of Canada interest rate announcement will be on January 24th, 2024. Most predictions indicate that it will be held at 5.00%

We do know, though, that housing prices will keep going up (like they always have). So, your best bet is to buy now and lock in your home’s price before housing costs increase even more. Then, if interest rates do go down in a year, you can refinance to a lower rate.

Plus, because interest rates are high right now, fewer people are buying, which means you won’t have as much competition when you make offers.

However, you should only buy a house if you’re prepared financially and have done the due diligence in getting pre-approved.
