Prices & Market
The Benchmark is the board's price for a typical home in each area, so you're comparing like with like.
Sales-to-active ratio: of every 100 homes for sale, how many sold last month. Lower means buyers have more choice; higher means sellers do.
Benchmark prices, days on market and sales-to-active ratio: MLS® Home Price Index and market data from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (Surrey and Langley) and Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (Maple Ridge). Updated monthly.
Schools & Catchments
Schools within 2 km of each area's centre. Catchments decide which public school you're in, so always check the exact address.
