Willoughby, Langley: Presale Neighbourhood Spotlight (2026)

Willoughby is the busiest presale corridor in Langley — a townhome-heavy, family-first neighbourhood that will sit minutes from the Willowbrook SkyTrain station when the Surrey-Langley extension opens in 2029. In a soft 2026 Fraser Valley market townhome benchmark $769,500, condo $483,800, both down year-over-year , that combination makes Willoughby one of the most interesting places to buy a presale — if you buy the right unit at the right price.

The 2029 catalyst: Surrey-Langley SkyTrain The single biggest long-term driver is transit. The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extends the Expo Line along Fraser Highway from King George Station to Langley City Centre — eight new stations, six in Surrey and two in Langley Willowbrook and Langley City Centre , with an expected opening in 2029. The Willowbrook station sits on Willoughby's doorstep, which is exactly why investors watch this neighbourhood. Buyer reality check: 2029 is years out, and transit premiums tend to get priced in early and then sit flat until the line actually opens. Don't overpay today for an appreciation story that's still three-plus years from materializing. The SkyTrain is a reason Willoughby holds up long term — it is not a reason to…
