Delta is three communities that barely feel connected. Ladner is a riverside village on the delta flats, Tsawwassen is a seaside suburb near the ferry terminal and the Point Roberts border, and North Delta sits on the bluff next to Surrey. Most of what sells is detached housing, with a modest number of townhouses.
Tsawwassen and Ladner detached houses around $1,300,000 to $1,700,000 bring about $8,500 to $10,800 back. North Delta houses at the $1,159,600 benchmark bring about $7,703.
Ladner composite benchmark $1,061,400 and Tsawwassen $1,102,200 (GVR, August 2026). North Delta detached $1,159,600, townhouse $845,600, apartment $479,000 (FVREB, September 2026).
