Chilliwack real estate runs at a median asking price of $699,500 right now, with 498 homes active across the city. A detached house sits at a median of $939,900, a townhouse at $632,400, and a condo at $349,900, so the same city gives you a sub-$350K entry point and a $1M-plus family home depending on what you buy. Homes take a median of 44 days to sell, slower than Metro Vancouver, which gives buyers more room to think. This guide covers Chilliwack prices by property type, the neighbourhoods worth knowing, who the city suits, and how to start a focused search.
Chilliwack sits at the eastern edge of the Fraser Valley, about 100 km from downtown Vancouver, framed by Mount Cheam and the Vedder and Fraser rivers. It is one of the more affordable cities in the BC Lower Mainland, which is why it draws families and remote workers priced out of Surrey, Langley, and Abbotsford.
The current snapshot, drawn from live Zealty MLS data, shows a balanced-to-buyer market. With 498 active listings and a median of 44 days on market, supply is healthy and homes are not flying off the shelf. That is a different rhythm from the bidding-war pace Metro Vancouver sees in tight months, and it rewards buyers who do their homework before they offer.
You can track these numbers yourself on the Chilliwack listings page, which updates throughout the day and lets you sort by price cuts, days on market, and sold-to-asking ratio.
The gap between property types in Chilliwack is wide, which is the city's biggest advantage for buyers. Here is where each type sits today on the Chilliwack market.
Detached houses are the core of Chilliwack, with 269 active and a median asking price of $939,900 at roughly $396 per square foot. The largest cluster of detached and family-sized homes falls in the $900,000 to $1,000,000 band, with plenty of choice from $750,000 up. Median time on market is 43 days, so there is room to negotiate on listings that have sat.

Townhouses run a median of $632,400 with 100 active listings and a median of 46 days on market. At about $356 per square foot, they are the cheapest space per dollar of the three strata-free-standing options, and they suit buyers who want a yard and a garage without a detached-house price.
Condos are Chilliwack's entry point, with a median of $349,900 across 129 active listings. Apartment supply clusters between $250,000 and $400,000, so a first-time buyer can get into the market here for well under what a Metro Vancouver condo costs. Median days on market for condos is 49, the slowest of the three types, which again favours a patient buyer. If you are weighing a condo against a townhouse, our guide to condo versus townhouse costs and resale value in BC breaks down strata fees and which holds value better.
Chilliwack is really a set of distinct communities, and price and lifestyle shift sharply between them. These are the areas buyers ask about most.
Because Chilliwack's areas vary this much, drawing a custom polygon on the Zealty map search around the exact streets you want, then saving it for email alerts, beats scrolling a generic city-wide feed.
Chilliwack is a strong fit for a few specific buyers, and a poor one for others. Be honest about which you are.
A 44-day median on market means you usually do not need to rush, but a few habits will keep you from overpaying or buying the wrong home.
Chilliwack gives Lower Mainland buyers something rare in BC: real choice across price points, from a $349,900 condo to a $939,900 detached home, in a market that moves at a pace you can actually think in. The trade-off is the commute, so the city rewards remote workers, families, and first-time buyers more than daily downtown-Vancouver commuters.
