Chilliwack Real Estate Market Insights (2026 Sales So Far)

Looking at the homes that have sold so far in 2026 across Chilliwack, several interesting patterns are emerging in the local market. Even with a relatively small sample early in the year, the data already shows clear differences between neighbourhoods, pricing levels, and buyer demand.

Areas With the Most Sales Activity

The early data shows that several central neighbourhoods are seeing the highest turnover.

Most active areas so far:

• Chilliwack Proper South — 3 sales

• Chilliwack Proper West — 3 sales

• Fairfield Island — 2 sales

• Chilliwack Proper East — 2 sales

• Eastern Hillsides — 1 sale

This pattern isn’t surprising. The Chilliwack Proper neighbourhoods tend to offer some of the most affordable detached homes in the city, which keeps them attractive to first-time buyers and investors looking to enter the market.

Meanwhile, Fairfield Island continues to see steady demand thanks to its quiet streets, larger lots, and established residential feel.

Price Per Square Foot by Area

When we look at value on a per-square-foot basis, some interesting trends appear.

Average price per square foot by area (detached homes):

• Chilliwack Proper West: ~ $426 / sqft

• Fairfield Island: ~ $405 / sqft

• Chilliwack Proper South: ~ $399 / sqft

• Chilliwack Proper East: ~ $387 / sqft

• Eastern Hillsides: ~ $371 / sqft

What this tells us

• Chilliwack Proper West currently commands the highest price per square foot, suggesting buyers are willing to pay a premium for homes in this area.

• Eastern Hillsides shows the lowest price per square foot, but this is largely because homes there tend to be larger hillside properties, which often lowers the per-square-foot metric despite higher overall prices.

Price Ranges Buyers Are Paying

The sales show a fairly wide range of detached home prices in Chilliwack so far in 2026.

Lowest sale:
Approximately $425,000

Highest sale:
Approximately $975,000

This highlights one of Chilliwack’s biggest advantages in the Fraser Valley housing market: a wide range of housing options.

Buyers can still find entry-level detached homes, while larger or newer properties—especially in hillside neighbourhoods—can approach the $900K–$1M range.

Days on Market Trends

Days on market for the sold homes ranged from:

• 3 days on the market

• up to 134 days

This wide spread indicates the market is not uniformly hot or cold.

Instead, what we’re seeing is:

• Well-priced homes selling quickly

• Overpriced homes sitting longer until adjustments are made

This is a common pattern in what many analysts would describe as a balanced or buyer-leaning market.

Condo and Townhome Activity

Although the dataset includes fewer examples, the attached housing segment shows that:

• Townhome sales are occurring in the mid-$600K range

• Condos are selling anywhere from roughly $135K to $460K depending on size, age, and building

Condos in particular still represent some of the most affordable ownership opportunities in Chilliwack.

Key Market Takeaways

From this early 2026 data, a few trends are clear:

1. Central Chilliwack neighbourhoods remain the most active.
Areas like Chilliwack Proper West and South continue to see the most turnover.

2. Price per square foot varies significantly between neighbourhoods.
Buyers are paying the most per square foot in Chilliwack Proper West, while larger hillside homes bring down the average in areas like Eastern Hillsides.

3. Pricing strategy matters more than ever.
Some homes are selling within days, while others are taking months. The difference is usually pricing relative to comparable sales.

4. Chilliwack still offers one of the widest price ranges in the Fraser Valley.
From affordable condos to million-dollar hillside homes, buyers have many entry points into the market.

✅ Overall:
The early 2026 data suggests the Chilliwack market is stable with opportunities for buyers, especially compared to the extreme competition seen in previous years.

Higher inventory and longer days on market in some cases mean buyers may have more negotiating power, while sellers who price strategically are still able to secure solid results.
