| Measure | August 2026, as read on 5 September |
|---|---|
| Detached benchmark | $2,045,200, −8.6% on the year |
| Sold in 12 months | 38 houses, down 17%; 19 for sale; 6.0 months of supply |
| Median days and ask | 51 days, 95.4% of ask; $650 a sq ft, the highest in Langley |
| Four-bedroom-plus median | $2,178,000, the highest in the township |
The village is a supply-constrained market: few houses, fewer sales, and buyers who are choosing a place rather than comparing floor plans. That is why it carries the top price per foot and the longest days on market at the same time. The 8.6% fall on the year is larger than Langley’s 7.1%, which is what a thin market does when a few sales move the index.
Worth it if the village is the point: the river, the heritage streets, Bedford Landing, the calendar. Not worth it if you are buying square footage, because a street in Walnut Grove gives you more house for the money and sells faster when you leave. Buy here with patience and a number in mind; sell here with a price built on the last twelve sales, not the last twelve months of headlines.
The Fort Langley detached benchmark is $2,045,200, 38.2% above the Langley benchmark of $1,479,400. Its townhome benchmark is $925,400, 14.8% above Langley’s $806,400. Its condo benchmark is $762,800, 42.8% above Langley’s $534,000 and the dearest condo benchmark in the township, against $571,300 in Willoughby and $482,700 in Langley City. So the premium is type-specific: the village looks dearer than it is because of what is in it. A Fort Langley house is a third dearer than a Langley house; a Fort Langley condo is nearly half again dearer than a Langley condo, and that is the figure that surprises people.

Fort Langley has the highest price per square foot in the township at $650, against $572 in Walnut Grove, $567 in Brookswood and Murrayville, and $473 in Willoughby. That is the village premium expressed per foot: the same house on the same lot costs about a quarter more for being inside the village. What it buys is the village itself, a heritage register with real consequences for what can be done to a house, Bedford Landing on the river, and Langley Fine Arts, a K-to-12 choice school rated 6.8 that draws from across the township. What it costs on the way out is time: Fort Langley houses took a median 51 days to sell over the year against 23 Langley-wide, and closed at 95.4% of ask against 96.8%. A seller here gives up more and waits longer; a buyer here has more room to negotiate than anywhere in Langley except the acreage corridors.
The Fort Langley detached benchmark fell 8.6% on the year against 7.1% Langley-wide; the condo benchmark fell 12.3%, the steepest condo fall of any Langley sub-area, against 8.8%; the townhome benchmark fell 4.6%, slightly less than Langley’s 5.0%. Sales fell 17% to 38 houses, against a 2% fall Langley-wide. With 19 houses for sale the village carries 6.0 months of supply, the same figure as Langley as a whole, so the shelf is ordinary in size and slow to move; there is little to choose from at any one price, and what there is takes seven weeks to find its buyer. That combination, a normal shelf and long days, is the signature of a market where each house is priced on its own story rather than on a benchmark.
On the index, the premium has held: Fort Langley is 38% above Langley on the benchmark and has been a premium village through the correction, and the sales that closed in the year did so at 95.4% of ask, not at fire-sale discounts. On the house, the four-bedroom-plus figure says what a family pays: a median $2,178,000 in the village against $1,632,000 in Brookswood, $1,558,000 in Murrayville and $1,505,000 in Willoughby, a premium of half a million to seven hundred thousand for the same bedroom count. On the buyer, the answer is whether the village is the point. If it is, the premium is the price of the only Fort Langley there is, and the numbers say buy patiently (51 days, 95.4%) and check the register before you offer. If the village is not the point and the house is, the same money buys a newer, larger house at $473 a foot in Willoughby or a bigger lot in Brookswood, and the day-count says those will be easier to sell again.
Read what the heritage register does and does not do (it is not the same as a heritage designation, and the difference decides what you can change); read the Bedford Landing report if the house is on the water, because freehold and strata sit side by side there; and read the report on what the village costs and why it holds. All three are linked below. Then price on the last three village sales, not on the Langley benchmark, because in a market of 38 sales a year each one moves the index.
On August 2026 benchmarks: houses 38.2% more ($2,045,200 against $1,479,400), townhomes 14.8% more ($925,400 against $806,400), condos 42.8% more ($762,800 against $534,000). Per square foot, $650 against $527 Langley-wide.
A median 51 days over the twelve months to August 2026, at 95.4% of asking, against 23 days and 96.8% Langley-wide. 38 houses sold in the year, 17% fewer than the year before, on 6.0 months of supply.
Yes: the detached benchmark is down 8.6% on the year, the townhome 4.6%, and the condo 12.3%, the steepest condo fall of any Langley sub-area.
The dearest in Langley: a benchmark of $762,800 against $571,300 in Willoughby and $482,700 in Langley City. A condo in the village costs more than a condo anywhere else in the township.
