Agassiz, BC Homes for Sale: Farmland and Mountains in the Upper Fraser Valley

Agassiz is known for its corn, hazelnut and dairy farms, and Mount Cheam and Mount Agassiz frame the valley. Harrison Hot Springs, a lakeside resort village, is about 10 minutes away, and Highway 7 links Chilliwack, Mission and Abbotsford to the west, with Highway 1 across the river. Vancouver is roughly 1.5 hours by road, which makes Agassiz a long but possible commute. Buyers are Lower Mainland families seeking acreage, retirees and recreation-minded second-home owners. Flooding along the Fraser and nearby rivers has occurred, so check flood plain maps and insurance.

Canada's foreign-buyer ban on residential property runs to 1 January 2027, and a replacement is reported. British Columbia charges a 20% foreign buyer tax in designated regions that include much of the Fraser Valley, so verify its application. The Agricultural Land Reserve limits subdivision and use on farm parcels. A BC lawyer or notary handles conveyancing, and property transfer tax is payable at completion. See our Canadian buying guide and financing page.
