Thinking of selling your home in South Surrey? Timing can make a big difference — not just in how quickly your home sells, but in how much it sells for.

In this post, we’ll break down the South Surrey real estate market month by month, with insights from local trends, buyer behaviour, and sales data — so you can make the most strategic decision when listing your home.

📊 January – The Early Bird Window

Best for: Motivated buyers & early movers
Why it works:
Inventory is low, but buyers who didn’t purchase in the fall are back and eager. Homes stand out with less competition. If you're looking to buy and sell in the same market, this can be a smart time to get a head start.

🌷 February to April – The Spring Surge

Best for: Maximizing exposure & sale price
Why it works:
This is traditionally the busiest season. Warmer weather, fresh listings, and new buyers entering the market all collide. Homes in Morgan Creek, Grandview, and Ocean Park often sell quickly during this window — especially if priced and presented right.

🔍 Local insight: March is often one of the highest volume months for new listings, so professional marketing is key to standing out.

🌞 May to June – The Family Move Season

Best for: Targeting families before school starts
Why it works:
Families want to move and settle before the new school year. Proximity to top-rated schools like Southridge, Sunnyside Elementary, or Semiahmoo Secondary becomes a major selling point.

🏖️ July to August – Summer Slowdown

Best for: Sellers who missed spring but want to stand out
Why it works:
Inventory drops again as many sellers hold off until fall. With fewer listings, serious buyers who are still in the market have fewer options — and motivated sellers can capitalize.

💡 Pro Tip: Summer homes with pools, AC, or walkability to White Rock Beach often shine during this time.

🍂 September to October – The Fall Rebound

Best for: Downsizers & move-up buyers
Why it works:
Once summer wraps and kids are back in school, buyers come out again. This is the second-busiest season in South Surrey and White Rock, often driven by people looking to make a move before the holidays.

❄️ November to December – The Off-Season Advantage

Best for: Highly motivated sellers & serious buyers
Why it works:
There are fewer buyers and showings — but those who are active are serious. If you're okay with fewer showings but want less competition, this might work in your favour.

So… When Is the Best Time to Sell in South Surrey?

👉 Answer: The best time is when your property is well-prepared, priced right, and you have a plan.

That said:

• Want maximum exposure and competition? List February–April.

• Want less competition from other listings? Try January, July, or November.

• Selling a family-oriented home? May–June is gold.
