Burke Mountain · 2026 price bands
Coquitlam's detached HPI benchmark sits at $1,584,400 for September 2026 (-6.6% YoY). Burke Mountain’s own detached benchmark was $1,867,100 (−3.1% year over year). So what does each price tier actually deliver up here?
This page exists because Burke Mountain price bands behave differently than the broader Coquitlam market. For comparison, the Westwood Plateau detached benchmark was $1,733,500 in September 2026, but home ages and lots differ between the two areas, so compare specific homes. Knowing which tier matches your priorities — new construction vs lot size vs view exposure — is most of the decision.

September 2026 market context · GVR data
Coquitlam's headline numbers for September 2026 (per the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® release dated 2026-10-02): detached HPI benchmark $1,584,400 (-6.6% YoY), townhouse benchmark $976,600, apartment benchmark $640,100. The Coquitlam detached sales-to-active ratio is 9.8% — below the 12% level that Greater Vancouver REALTORS® says, when sustained, tends to put downward pressure on prices.
Burke Mountain has its own benchmarks: $1,867,100 for detached (−3.1% year over year) and $1,040,600 for townhouses (−7.3%). Across all property types, the median Burke Mountain sale price was $1,141,000 in September 2026.
What this means for buyers: in September 2026, Burke Mountain had 16 sales and 155 homes for sale across all property types, a sales-to-active ratio of 10.3%. That gives buyers room to compare, but well-priced homes still sell: the median listing went to contract in 21 days.
How to actually shop these bands
1. New construction or established? Burke Mountain has a lot of newer homes, but ages still vary. Decide how new the home needs to be, then check the year built and what has been replaced, such as the roof, hot water tank and appliances, on each listing.
2. Catchment or lot size? Depending on the address, Burke Mountain homes are in the Smiling Creek, Coast Salish or Leigh Elementary catchment. Catchments can change, so confirm any home with the SD43 School Locator before you write an offer. I don’t quote a catchment price premium because no published data measures one.
3. Buy now or wait? Check the current listing and sales counts in the table on this page. When there are few listings in your range, a saved search alert usually works better than waiting for the right week. The right strategy depends on your timeline.
Frequently asked
Coquitlam's detached HPI benchmark for September 2026 sits at $1,584,400 (-6.6% YoY per the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® release). Greater Vancouver REALTORS® also publishes a Burke Mountain benchmark: $1,867,100 for a detached home in September 2026. Across all Burke property types, the median sale price was $1,141,000.
Sometimes, but it’s well below the Burke Mountain detached benchmark of $1,867,100, so expect trade-offs in size, age or lot. Townhomes are the more common option at that budget. I can set up an alert for detached listings under your limit.
I don’t have published data that measures a price premium for any Burke Mountain catchment, so I won’t quote one. Depending on the address, homes are in the Smiling Creek, Coast Salish or Leigh Elementary catchment. Always confirm the exact catchment of a specific address against SD43's lookup — catchment lines shift between SD43 reviews.
For many buyers, yes. The Burke Mountain townhouse benchmark was $1,040,600 in September 2026, compared with $1,867,100 for detached. Verify strata depreciation reports, building envelope history, and any pending special levies before writing the offer.
Across all Burke Mountain property types, the median listing went to contract in 21 days in September 2026, and the average was 27 days (Greater Vancouver REALTORS® Stats Centre). Pace varies by price and condition, so I check recent sales in your range.
Townhomes have no lot of their own (strata). For detached homes, lot size varies a lot by street and builder, so I don’t publish typical lot sizes by price; check the lot size on each listing.
Yes — Burke Mountain is one of the few Tri-Cities neighbourhoods with active new-construction inventory in 2026. As of October 1, 2026, releases selling included Polygon’s Beaumont, Townline’s Terrayne, StreetSide’s Rocklin, Tangerine’s Culmena, Infinity’s Versant, Wesbild’s Towns at Burke, Morningstar’s Parkview and Foxridge’s Timber’s Edge. GST applies on new homes.
Yes, on the upper ridge streets. Some homes on the upper slopes have views. I don’t quote a view premium because it varies home to home; compare recent sales of similar view and non-view homes. Verify the view sightline survives any pending neighbouring development before paying the premium.
The Heritage Mountain detached benchmark was $1,933,800 in September 2026, versus $1,867,100 on Burke Mountain. Coquitlam’s detached benchmark is $1,584,400, and the areas differ in home age, lot size and city (Heritage Mountain is in Port Moody), so compare specific homes. See Heritage Mountain master for the deep guide.
A presale carries completion-date risk, developer risk and limited finish choices, and GST applies. The upside is a new home with 2-5-10 warranty coverage and a price set today. Several current Burke releases have move-in-ready homes, which removes most of the timing risk.
Yes, but the inventory is thin. Homes at this level are usually larger, newer detached homes. Sales are infrequent, so I check each one against the wider Tri-Cities luxury market — see the Coquitlam Luxury master for the broader luxury picture.

A price range only helps if it reflects your full costs and the homes actually for sale. Here’s how I set one with you.
We begin with your mortgage approval and add the costs on top of the price: property transfer tax, legal fees, moving and, on a new home, GST. That gives us the highest price that still leaves you comfortable, not just the most a lender will approve.
I set your range against the latest Burke Mountain detached and townhouse benchmarks from Greater Vancouver REALTORS®, then pull the current listings in that range. If the range only shows a handful of homes, we talk about which trade-off to make before you start touring.
Age, lot size, suite, view and location all pull against each other. We decide which two matter most to you. For schools, I check each address with the SD43 School Locator, because catchments are set by address and can change.
For any home you like, I pull recent comparable sales nearby and adjust for age, size, suite and lot. That tells us whether the asking price fits the market before you write, and gives you evidence to negotiate with.
