Murrayville at a glance
Murrayville is the village pocket centered on 48th Avenue and 216th Street, anchored by Langley Memorial Hospital. The original heritage core dates back to the early 1900s and includes the historic Murrayville Hall and original brick storefronts. Around the village, several large townhouse and low-rise developments have been added since 2010 to support hospital-adjacent housing demand. Detached homes occupy the surrounding blocks, mostly 1980sโ2000s 2-storey-with-basement format.

Strategy
2026 buyer & seller playbook for Murrayville
๐ Buying in Murrayville
- Get a real pre-approval โ not a rate hold. Even on a townhouse or condo in Murrayville, sellers and listing agents will pressure-test your financing before considering an offer.
- Always run a CMA before writing โ I prepare a full one-day Comparative Market Analysis for any Murrayville listing you're seriously interested in. Asking price means very little; recent sold comps mean everything.
- Conditions matter as much as price. In Murrayville I prefer 5-7 business days for financing, 5 for inspection, and a property disclosure statement review. Strata documents on a townhouse or condo need at least 7 days.
- Watch the property tax assessments. If a home assessed at $1.4M is listed at $1.7M, ask why. The gap between assessed and asking tells you a lot about how realistic the seller's expectations are.
- For a strata purchase in Murrayville, request the depreciation report, the last two years of minutes, financial statements, and any engineering or rainscreen reports. I review these line-by-line with you.
- Layer the BC tax stack. PTT, possible First-Time Buyer or Newly Built exemption, GST on new builds, and 5-year speculation tax exposure for non-residents. We model all of it before you write.
๐ท๏ธ Selling in Murrayville
- Price to the comps, not to your hopes. The last 60-90 days of Murrayville sold comps drive value โ list price assumptions are a trailing indicator. Overpricing in this micro-market typically extends days-on-market by 3-4ร.
- Stage what matters. In Murrayville, the highest-impact spend is paint, professional photography, and a one-day stage refresh โ not full renovation. Most buyers can see past dated finishes if the home shows clean.
- Time the listing to your buyer pool. Murrayville typically peaks for showings between mid-February and late June, with a smaller window in September. We model the listing date around your move-out flexibility.
- Pre-list inspection on detached homes. Catching a roof, foundation, or oil-tank issue before listing prevents post-offer renegotiation and keeps you in the driver's seat.
- Strata documents must be ready. For a townhouse or condo, I order Form B, Form F, current bylaws, depreciation report, two years of minutes, and the engineering report before we go live โ buyers walk if these are slow.
- Run the net-proceeds math. Commission, mortgage payout penalty (IRD vs 3-month interest), legal fees, GST on commission, and any home-flipping tax exposure. We model your net before we choose a list price.
Investor snapshot
Murrayville rental yields & investor angle
Rough gross yield ranges based on typical CMHC market rents in the Langley CMA and the lower end of Murrayville purchase prices. Real numbers shift with strata fees, vacancy, financing, and property tax โ I run a full pro-forma before we make any offer.
| Property type | Purchase (low) | Typical rent | Gross yield range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached (rented as SFH) | $1.4M โ $1.85M | $3,800-5,500/mo | 3.26% โ 4.71% |
| Townhouse | $820K โ $1.05M | $3,200-4,200/mo | 4.68% โ 6.15% |
| Condo (1-bed) | $520K โ $640K | $2,200-2,800/mo | 5.08% โ 6.46% |
Gross yield = annual rent รท purchase price. Net yields after strata, taxes, vacancy, repairs, and financing typically run 1.5-2.5 percentage points lower. I model the BC tax stack (Speculation Tax, Empty Homes Tax, Property Transfer Tax, capital gains, and the new BC Home Flipping Tax) for every investor file.
Where to look in Murrayville
Streets and corridors I keep an eye on for Murrayville clients:
Zoning & density
Bill 44 SSMUH & multiplex potential in Murrayville
Under BC's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing legislation (Bill 44), most single-family lots in Langley now permit 3 to 6 dwelling units as of right โ without needing a public hearing. Murrayville is no exception. Lots with frontage and lane access can typically accommodate a triplex, fourplex, or multiplex with full strata title or rental tenure.
For Murrayville specifically, the highest-and-best-use depends on lot size, current zoning, neighbouring covenants, and the Langley OCP overlay. Lots within 800m of a TOD-eligible transit station may also qualify for higher density under Bill 47 (Transit-Oriented Areas).
Before you buy or list any Murrayville property as a "redevelopment opportunity," I model the actual rentable / saleable square footage, parking minimums, FSR limits, and pro-forma return โ using BC's actual permit timelines, not the developer-flyer fantasy.
Pipeline
Recent & upcoming developments in Langley
$4-billion Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension is reshaping land values along Fraser Highway. Eight new TOD-eligible nodes are being designated. These projects directly impact Murrayville valuation, supply, and infrastructure load over the next 5-10 years.

FAQ
Murrayville real estate questions
Is Murrayville a good rental investment?
Murrayville draws steady rental demand from Langley Memorial Hospital staff, allied health professionals, and university students. Two-bed condos and townhouses near the hospital tend to lease quickly. Yields are tighter than Surrey or Maple Ridge but vacancies are also short.
How old are most Murrayville detached homes?
The detached stock skews to two cohorts: a small heritage core from the 1920sโ1950s near the village, and a much larger 1980sโ2000s 2-storey-with-basement build-out on the surrounding blocks.
