Buying a home in Central Abbotsford

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.

Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.
