What is the typical price for a Fort Langley townhouse in 2026?
A note from me: I’m Bronson Job, a REALTOR® (PREC) with Momentum Realty Inc., so I earn a commission when I help someone buy or sell. I write these guides to be genuinely useful — general information, not advice on your specific situation — and I take no payment from any third party named in them. How I verify.
Direct answer
The honest answer is that Fort Langley barely has a townhouse market to average, because roughly one townhouse sells there in a month and in some months none do. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board benchmark sat near $910,000 through the first half of 2026 and moved very little, which is what a benchmark does when almost nothing trades. Every 2026 month that recorded a sale came in well above that benchmark, so treating $910,000 as what you will pay is a mistake. Bedford Landing and the newer waterfront-adjacent releases price at the top; the 1990s courtyard product north of Glover Road sits lower. On a thin market like this one, the last three or four comparable sales tell you more than any benchmark does, and your agent can pull them. Closing-cost math on a $1,000,000 Fort Langley townhouse, resale, buyer who has owned before: property transfer tax is 1% on the first $200,000 plus 2% on the next $800,000, so $18,000. Add roughly $1,500 to $2,000 for the lawyer or notary, $300 to $500 for title insurance, and a property-tax adjustment that varies with the closing date. Budget $20,000 to $24,000 in cash on completion day, on top of the down payment. A first-time buyer gets no relief at this price, because the first-time exemption is fully gone above $860,000. A newly built townhouse under $1,100,000 is the exception: the Newly Built Home Exemption can take the transfer tax to zero, though 5% goods and services tax then applies on new construction, which is a material cost of its own.
