The quick number

The single-city 'average' is misleading because it blends a $600K condo with a $3M Westwood view home. The useful number is the benchmark for your product type in your target neighbourhood. I'll give you both in this piece.

For the current market context, see the latest month's recap linked below.

Detached: Wide range. Neighbourhood drives more than city.
Townhome: Tighter range. Strata condition critical.
Condo: Age and building quality dominate price.

What actually matters for your purchase

The average doesn't matter — your target product in your target neighbourhood matters. Tell me what you're buying and where, and I'll give you the benchmark number for that specific combination.

Most buyers overweight the average and underweight the comparables. Reverse that and you'll make better offers.

Questions We Get Most

More questions — what buyers and sellers actually ask

These are the long-tail questions that come up in consultations. If yours isn't here, send it over — I'll answer directly.

What is the average home price in Coquitlam right now? +
As of Q2 2026: $1.275M median all types combined. Detached $1.63M. Townhome $0.99M. Condo $685k. Varies significantly by submarket — Burke Mountain detached is $1.74M while Central Coquitlam can be $1.3M for older inventory.
Is Coquitlam a good place to buy in 2026? +
Yes — strong 5–7 year positioning. Two SkyTrain stations operational, aggressive TOD rezoning, SD43 schools in BC's top tier, 15–25% below Vancouver West comparables. Risks: condo oversupply in Burquitlam 2026–2028; softening in upper luxury tier.
Coquitlam vs Port Moody vs Port Coquitlam — which is better? +
Coquitlam: widest selection, 3 SkyTrain stations, largest inventory. Port Moody: smaller, arts-and-brewery identity, higher $/ft, better core walkability. Port Coquitlam: $100–200k cheaper on equivalent property, more detached for money, fewer transit options. Selection / lifestyle / value.
How much do I need to afford a home in Coquitlam? +
At current rates (~5.3% insured 5-yr fixed June 2026): $1M home, 20% down = ~$180k household income. $1.5M = ~$260k. $2M = ~$340k + down. Carry cost on $1.5M detached = $6,800–$7,400/mo incl. tax/strata/insurance. Stress-test your number with the affordability calculator.
Is it better to buy a condo, townhome, or detached in Coquitlam? +
Depends on financial + life stage. Condo: low entry ($685k), low maintenance, highest liquidity. Townhome: middle ($0.99M), good family fit. Detached: highest ($1.63M), lowest strata, best historical appreciation. Aligns with 5-year plan, not lifestyle preference.
Who is the best realtor in Coquitlam? +
No single 'best' — top agents win on different dimensions (volume, neighbourhood depth, luxury specialty, team resources). My positioning: I work Coquitlam as one connected market — Burke Mountain + Westwood Plateau + Heritage + Anmore/Belcarra + condos/townhomes. If your transaction spans submarkets or property types, you get one agent for the whole arc. Interview 2–3.
The Difference

Why work with Craig across Coquitlam

01
Pan-submarket experience
Coquitlam is not one market — it's Burquitlam, Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain, Central Coquitlam, Coquitlam Centre, Eagle Ridge, Westwood, Maillardville. Each has its own price band, buyer pool, and demand driver. I work all of them and can tell you not just 'what's your home worth' but 'which submarket is your next home really in.'
02
Property-type transitions handled in-house
Downsizing detached → townhome → condo, or upsizing the other direction, is where most commissions get split across two agents. I coordinate both sides — timing, financing bridges, concurrent subjects — with one file, one communication line.
03
I live here and I stay current
I live in Coquitlam. I walk these streets. I know which buildings just got new roofs, which strata just voted on a special assessment, which schools are catchment-changing next September. That current-state knowledge is what separates negotiating from stalling.

“Craig kept me informed of the local market for a couple of years before I asked him to handle my Coquitlam sale. He laid out the strategy upfront, the listing generated a lot of interest, and we had an acceptable offer in under a month. I was stressed going in — Craig helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety. I’ve already introduced him to my sister, who plans to sell soon.”

How to read a Coquitlam "average price" correctly

Headline averages are easy to misread. Four checks turn a single number into something you can actually plan around.

Check 1

Average vs. benchmark

A simple average is skewed by whatever mix of homes happened to sell. The benchmark (HPI) tracks a typical home over time and is the more stable number to plan against.

Check 2

Split by property type

Detached, townhome and apartment prices move differently. A blended "Coquitlam average" can hide the fact that your specific segment is doing something else entirely.

Check 3

Month-over-month vs. year-over-year

Short-term moves are noisy; year-over-year shows the real trend. Always ask which comparison a headline is using before drawing a conclusion.

Check 4

Why your home differs

Location within the city, updates, lot and view can push a specific home well above or below any citywide figure — the average is a starting point, not an appraisal.

If you want to check these figures yourself, lean on the monthly reports published by the real-estate board rather than on portal estimates, which blend sources and tend to lag the market. Focus on the benchmark or HPI number for your specific property type and sub-area, note the exact month the data covers, and compare it against the same month a year earlier to strip out seasonal swings. Treat any single "average Coquitlam price" in a headline as a prompt to dig, then drill down to the figure that actually describes a home like the one you own or hope to buy. That move — from the headline to the specific — is what separates a grounded read of the market from a misled one.
