A Note From Craig

If you're reading this, you've already decided to do this properly.

Luxury representation is the opposite of mass marketing. The best listings in Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain, Anmore, and Belcarra are the ones you'd never find on a public search — they circulate quietly through a network of local REALTORS® who know who's actually buying. My job is to be the person inside that network, working for you.

Whether you're buying your first estate home or exiting one you've loved for 20 years, the call is free, the conversation is private, and there is no obligation.

The honest answer in 30 seconds

Coquitlam's luxury market ($3M+) sits well above the city's detached benchmark of $1,627,600 (July 2026 GVR® data) and plays by different rules: fewer buyers, longer timelines, and pricing driven by land, view and build quality rather than monthly indexes. In a softer market, luxury buyers gain the most leverage — and presentation separates the homes that sell from the ones that sit. Estate-calibre pockets: Westwood Plateau, Anmore and upper Burke Mountain.

Each of those four submarkets deserves its own deep-dive. If you're leaning toward acreage, the Anmore luxury estates guide walks through well-and-septic diligence, the ALR, and what a $4M purchase actually costs in BC tax. If it's Pacific waterfront, the Belcarra waterfront guide covers Crown foreshore tenure, dock permits, and geotechnical risk. For Burke Mountain custom builds, start with Burke Mountain homes for sale; for established executive inventory, Westwood Plateau real estate.

These numbers sit on top of the broader Tri-Cities market. If you're weighing luxury against the standard executive tier, the full Coquitlam inventory guide and the average home price tracker give you the comparison. Already own a luxury home in the Tri-Cities and thinking about selling? The sell-side luxury playbook covers pricing, channel strategy, and the $5M sell-side cost stack in detail.

At the top of the market, the best listings aren't found — they're handed to the buyers who have already been introduced. Representation is about being in the right rooms before the listings hit the wider market.

— Craig Johnston

On the other side of the transaction, the same tax stack shapes how we price and position a listing. If you're the seller — or thinking about becoming one — the selling a luxury home in Coquitlam guide walks through the three-decision framework (price, channel, presentation), the timeline, and the typical sell-side cost stack on a $5.0M sale. Non-residents should also read the closing-costs guide for the CRA Section 116 holdback and clearance certificate mechanics.

The Difference

Why work with Craig on Tri-Cities luxury

1
I've walked every one of the four submarkets
Westwood Plateau executive, Burke Mountain custom, Anmore acreage, Belcarra waterfront — each trades on different fundamentals. A generalist treats them as one market. I treat them as four, with four different pricing and presentation playbooks.
2
I price against the actual top-tier sold data — not the list
Luxury lists over-report. Percentage of original price, DOM trends, and concession patterns are the numbers that matter. I bring that data into every pricing conversation, with references you can verify.
3
I work discreetly when the situation calls for it
Some Tri-Cities luxury sales never hit MLS. Quiet-marketed transactions, pocket listings, off-book buyer introductions — I've done all three. Full MLS is often the right move. Sometimes it isn't.

“One of the sales was my Mom’s home. She is 97 and so this was a very emotional issue to be leaving her beloved home of so many years… Craig was extremely patient in explaining the market and was very sensitive to her concerns. We can’t thank him enough for his empathy and understanding in working with an elderly person through a difficult time in a very caring manor!”

FAQ

The questions people actually ask.

What qualifies as a luxury home in Coquitlam?+

The luxury threshold in Coquitlam in 2026 is roughly $2.5M and up. Westwood Plateau executive homes, Burke Mountain custom builds, Eagle Mountain estates, Anmore acreage, and Belcarra waterfront form the core of the market — typically 4,000+ sq ft, premium finishes, and privileged views or acreage.

Are Anmore and Belcarra part of the Coquitlam luxury market?+

Yes — functionally. Anmore and Belcarra are separate villages bordering Coquitlam and Port Moody, but they're part of the same Tri-Cities luxury guide network. Anmore offers 1-acre-minimum estates in the $3M–$8M range; Belcarra delivers Pacific-facing waterfront from $3M to $15M+.

How does off-market inventory work in Coquitlam luxury?+

A meaningful portion of Coquitlam luxury inventory never appears on MLS. Sellers in this price band often prefer private marketing — quiet listings circulated through a curated realtor network to qualified buyers. Working with a local realtor who has the relationships is how you see these homes first.

What are Coquitlam's luxury property taxes like?+

Coquitlam's municipal mill rate is lower than Vancouver's, but properties over $3M attract BC's Additional Property Transfer Tax (3% on $2M–$3M, 5% above $3M for residential). The Additional School Tax also applies to properties assessed over $3M. Factor both into your buy-side budget.

Is the Coquitlam real estate market strong right now?+

The Tri-Cities has held premium better than most Metro Vancouver sub-markets through the 2023-2025 cycle. Entering 2026, the story is: tight supply in detached across Burke Mountain, Heritage Mountain, and Westwood Plateau; closer to balanced in townhomes and condos.

Who's the best realtor in Coquitlam?+

Every realtor answers this question 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 property, presale condo, relocation. The right answer is the one who can describe this neighbourhood without opening the listing.

What schools are in this area?+

SD43 (Coquitlam School District) runs every public school in Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Anmore, and Belcarra. Catchments are specific and assignments change — always pull the catchment before writing an offer. SD43 catchment lookup.

How's the commute from here?+

Evergreen Line of the Millennium SkyTrain links Coquitlam Central, Lincoln, Burquitlam, Moody Centre, and Inlet Centre — Coquitlam Central to Burrard is ~35 minutes. West Coast Express runs commuter-hours only and is ~35 minutes to Waterfront. Driving to downtown Vancouver is 35-60 minutes depending on time and route.

What qualifies as "luxury" in the Tri-Cities market?+

In practical terms, $2M+ for a detached home marks the entry to the luxury tier. Above $3M, BC's Additional Property Transfer Tax adds a 5% surcharge on the portion above that threshold, and presentation standards shift materially.

How long does a Tri-Cities luxury home take to sell?+

Median DOM at $2M+ is ~58 days, vs ~19 days for the broader Coquitlam market. Patience is part of the strategy — the buyer pool is smaller and more considered.

What's the BC tax exposure on a $3M purchase?+

Roughly $88,000 in Property Transfer Tax (standard brackets) plus $0 Additional PTT (it only applies above $3M). Annual Additional School Tax of $2,000/yr (0.2% on the portion above $3M).

Which is the "best" Tri-Cities luxury submarket?+

There is no universal answer. Westwood Plateau for established executive with golf and schools. Burke Mountain for new custom builds. Anmore for acreage privacy. Belcarra for irreplaceable waterfront. Each attracts a different buyer.

Should I buy pre-sale or resale at the luxury tier?+

Pre-sale carries construction-completion risk, developer solvency risk, and interior-finish lock-in risk. Resale costs more per foot but you see what you buy. At the luxury tier I generally lean resale unless the pre-sale developer has a strong local delivery track record.

Do you work with non-resident buyers?+

Yes. I coordinate with immigration counsel, Canadian-resident-closing accountants, and handle the CRA Section 116 certificate process on the sell-side for non-resident dispositions. Additional Property Transfer Tax (20%) also applies in Metro Vancouver for foreign buyers.

Is Coquitlam a good investment right now?+

Yes, for the right buyer with the right hold horizon. The under-$1.8M segment is the most interesting for 2026.

Where's the value in Coquitlam in 2026?+

Port Coquitlam price-to-livability, Westwood for commuters, Burke for families with schools, Heritage for buy-and-hold. Different answers for different buyers.

Who should I work with?+

Interview three, pick the one who can actually run your specific transaction.

What's the July 2026 GVR data say about the Tri-Cities luxury tier?+

The Greater Vancouver detached benchmark for July 2026 is $1,822,900 (-7.0% YoY). Coquitlam detached benchmark is $1,627,600 (-5.2% YoY); Port Moody detached is $1,967,700. The $2M+ luxury tier across the Tri-Cities runs counter-cycle to broader benchmarks — days-on-market are longer, but pricing has held more resilient than the under-$1.5M segments.

Source: July 2026 GVR® release.

What qualifies as a luxury home in Coquitlam?+

The luxury threshold in Coquitlam in 2026 is roughly $2.5M and up. Westwood Plateau executive homes, Burke Mountain custom builds, Eagle Mountain estates, Anmore acreage, and Belcarra waterfront form the core of the market — typically 4,000+ sq ft, premium finishes, and privileged views or acreage.

Are Anmore and Belcarra part of the Coquitlam luxury market?+

Functionally, yes. Anmore and Belcarra are separate villages bordering Coquitlam and Port Moody, but they're part of the same Tri-Cities luxury guide network. Anmore offers 1-acre-minimum estates in the $3M–$8M range; Belcarra delivers Pacific-facing waterfront from $3M to $15M+.

How does off-market inventory work in Coquitlam luxury?+

A meaningful portion of Coquitlam luxury inventory never appears on MLS. Sellers in this price band often prefer private marketing — quiet listings circulated through a curated realtor network to qualified buyers. Working with a local realtor who has the relationships is how you see these homes first.

What's the BC tax exposure on a $3M luxury purchase?+

Standard BC Property Transfer Tax on $3,000,000 is approximately $88,000. BC's Additional PTT of 2% applies on the portion above $3M — so $3M itself attracts $0 Additional PTT, but $4M would add $20,000. Annual Additional School Tax of 0.2% applies on assessed value above $3M (rising to 0.4% above $4M).

How long does a Tri-Cities luxury home take to sell?+

Median DOM at $2M+ is approximately 58 days, versus ~20–30 days for the broader Coquitlam market. The buyer pool at this tier is smaller and more considered. Patience — both on listing time and on price discipline — is part of the strategy.

Which Tri-Cities luxury submarket is best?+

There is no universal answer. Westwood Plateau for established executive with golf and schools. Burke Mountain for new custom builds. Heritage Mountain for hold-and-live with view exposure. Anmore for acreage privacy. Belcarra for irreplaceable waterfront. Each attracts a distinct buyer — the right answer depends on which lifestyle anchor matters most.

Should I buy pre-sale or resale at the luxury tier?+

Pre-sale carries construction-completion risk, developer solvency risk, and interior-finish lock-in risk. Resale costs more per foot but you see what you buy. At the luxury tier I generally lean resale unless the pre-sale developer has a strong local delivery track record on comparable luxury product.

Do you work with non-resident buyers at the luxury tier?+

Yes. I coordinate with immigration counsel, Canadian-resident-closing accountants, and handle the CRA Section 116 certificate process on the sell-side for non-resident dispositions. BC's Additional Property Transfer Tax (20% Foreign Buyers Tax) also applies in Metro Vancouver for foreign buyers — that's a material line item that needs to sit in the underwriting from day one.

Where's the value in the Tri-Cities luxury market for 2026?+

Coquitlam's $2M–$2.8M Burke Mountain detached segment has the deepest selection. Anmore's $3M–$5M acreage band is where the most considered long-stay buyers are landing. Belcarra waterfront at $4M–$8M is where irreplaceable inventory trades; above $8M the market thins materially. Different answers for different buyers — that's why the right realtor matters.

How do I make a private off-market offer in this market?+

It starts with the relationship. Off-market sellers don't list, they wait for the right buyer brought by a realtor they trust. Building that trust is a months-long process — not a single phone call. Strategy-call onboarding includes a private-inventory briefing covering what's currently quiet in your target neighbourhoods.

What's the resale liquidity at the $5M+ Tri-Cities luxury tier?+

Low. The $5M+ segment across Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, and Belcarra typically sees fewer than 30–40 arms-length transactions per year combined. Days-on-market regularly run 90–180+ days. Don't underwrite a hold-period shorter than 5–7 years on $5M+ luxury — the market is structurally illiquid at that tier.
