The census median was $1,200,000 in 2021, against $720,000 for British Columbia’s towns. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since. In 2023, 14,620 homes changed hands at a median price of $810,000, by Statistics Canada’s count. Sullivan doesn’t get its own sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Surrey.
