Abbotsford Renovation Market
Abbotsford’s Clearbrook, Matsqui, and Central neighbourhoods have significant older housing stock (1960s–1980s) ideal for basement suite development. Mission and Abbotsford rural areas also have acreage properties where carriage houses are permitted and cost-effective.
Chilliwack Renovation Notes
Chilliwack’s older downtown and College neighbourhoods have character homes that need deep renovation investment. New areas like Garrison Crossing (former military base redevelopment) have newer construction that requires lighter refreshes.
