Quick answers

Quick answers about buying a Coquitlam home

The high-frequency questions I'm asked in almost every first client meeting, answered in 40–60 words each. Longer explanations follow in the sections below.

How much does a home cost in Coquitlam in 2026?

Per the July 2026 Greater Vancouver REALTORS® release, Coquitlam benchmark prices are: detached $1,627,600, townhouse $990,900, apartment $651,400. July median sale prices ran $1,594,500 / $1,099,000 / $606,950 respectively. Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau and Heritage Mountain command the strongest detached premiums; Burquitlam leads condo activity.

Is Coquitlam a good place to buy a home right now?

For families with a 5+ year horizon and a realistic pre-approval, Coquitlam remains one of the strongest long-run markets in Greater Vancouver. SkyTrain connectivity, SD43's secondary-school track record, and contained supply support values. The short-term question is whether your specific catchment has inventory right now.

What's the difference between Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau?

Burke Mountain is newer (mostly 2005–2020 builds), younger families, elementary-heavy. Westwood Plateau is older stock with more architectural variety, lower turnover, and an older demographic. Westwood Plateau typically trades at a premium for comparable size and age — largely because of the Dr. Charles Best secondary catchment.

How much is property transfer tax on a Coquitlam home?

BC's PTT is 1% on the first $200K, 2% from $200K to $2M, 3% from $2M to $3M, and 5% above $3M on residential. A $1.5M purchase pays about $28,000. First-time home buyers get a full exemption up to $835K and partial phase-out to $860K (current BC thresholds — verify on the BC government PTT page before relying on for your purchase).

How competitive is the Coquitlam market in 2026?

Conditions are balanced, not frenzied. Well-priced homes in strong catchments still attract multiple offers in the March–May and September–November windows. Between those windows, single-offer transactions dominate and buyer subjects are usually respected. Market behaviour differs substantially by submarket and price tier.

How long does it take to sell a home in Coquitlam?

Well-prepared, correctly-priced detached homes in strong catchments typically sell within the first few weeks. Over-priced or poorly-prepped listings often sit until a price reduction forces a sale. For exact days-on-market in your specific submarket and price tier, ask Craig for the live MLS® pull.

What's the typical commission to sell a home in Coquitlam?

Total commission in Coquitlam commonly ranges 3.5–5% of sale price, split between listing and buyer's agent. On a $1.5M home that's roughly $52,500–$75,000 plus GST. The number is negotiable; the service level behind the number is what matters more than the headline percentage.

Which Coquitlam neighbourhood has the best schools?

Who's the best realtor in Coquitlam?
Every realtor answers this the same way. The better question is: who's the best realtor for this specific search — move-up, first-time, Burke Mountain, Heritage Mountain, estate, pre-sale, relocation. The right answer is the one who can describe this neighbourhood without opening the listing. Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960, is a Top 1% Team Member — Greater Vancouver REALTORS®, 2022–2025, Top 2% Team Member — Royal LePage nationwide, 2024–2025, and Medallion Club Team Member, 2021–2025. Full bio & credentials.

Westwood Plateau feeds into Scott Creek or Summit Middle and either Gleneagle or Pinetree Secondary (by address) — consistently among SD43's highest-performing schools. Port Moody's Heritage Woods Secondary draws from parts of upper Coquitlam. Burke Mountain's Gleneagle Secondary serves that catchment directly. All SD43 secondary schools post provincially competitive results.

The Difference

Why work with Craig on your Coquitlam purchase

1
I cover the whole Tri-Cities, not just one neighbourhood
Coquitlam buyers often end up in a different neighbourhood than where they started looking. I work every submarket — Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Heritage, Coquitlam West, Maillardville, the original core — so your search isn't constrained by my blind spots.
2
I'm data-first on pricing
Every offer I write references recent sold comps — not list prices, not assessed values, not seller expectations. If we're offering $1.85M, you'll see the three recent comparables that justify it.
3
I work with your mortgage broker, not around them
Pre-approval quality varies. I work with your lender directly on the offer structure, financing conditions, and timing — because a blown financing condition is the #1 reason deals fall apart in BC.

From Craig

“The listed price on an MLS page is a starting position, not a verdict. I want my clients to understand what it actually sold for on the comparable three streets over last month — and what the seller is trying to hold out for on this one.”

“We had a fantastic experience working with Craig on the purchase of our first home in Coquitlam. He was incredibly friendly and responsive, always quick to answer our messages and questions. Throughout the process, he took the time to walk us through each step so my partner and I always knew exactly what was going on and what to expect next. Craig also gave us honest, helpful opinions on properties we were considering, which really helped guide us toward a place we love. On top of that, he connected us with a great broker and lawyer, making the whole process feel seamless. We're so happy in our new home and couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommend Craig to anyone buying a home!”
