That is a median of $1,600,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $720,000 for British Columbia’s towns. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. The median sale in 2023 was $810,000, across 14,620 buyers. Nobody publishes sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Sunrise Estates alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Surrey.
