Photo: waferboard · CC BY 2.0Homes in Fleetwood are worth 53% more than the median of British Columbia’s towns
The 2021 census gives $1,100,000 as the median value; British Columbia’s towns come to $720,000. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. Statistics Canada counted 14,620 buyers in 2023, paying a median $810,000. Fleetwood shares its sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits numbers with the rest of the city of Surrey.

Questions about property prices in Fleetwood
Is Fleetwood expensive for British Columbia?
Yes: Fleetwood’s census median is above the $720,000 of British Columbia’s towns.
Can I see individual sales or prices by street?
Not here: individual sales sit with provincial registries and aren’t open, so the published figures are town medians and averages.
