I'm Chris at Chris Whitehead and Associates with Macdonald Realty Olympic.  Welcome to the North Surrey blog. This is your weekly update for Friday, June 3.  I'm speaking to you from

Hawthorne Park.  This hidden little gem is located in North Surrey at 105 Ave. and 144 St. 

Market Update:  And now for your weekly report.    Right now there are 463 North Surrey homes on the market and in the last 30 days, 12 basement homes sold with an average approximate price of 449,400.  This was 96% of asking price.  Did you realize that with a 5% down payment taking a 5 year mortgage with a 30 year amortization at 3.65%, the average basement home would have an morgage payment of approximate $2007 per month. Now rent out a typical suite at a conservative $600/mo means your mortgage payment would only be $1407/mo.
