Weighing two neighbourhoods, or a presale against a resale? I’ll walk you through the trade-offs on a short call: schools, commute, strata and resale.

Neighbourhood outlines are the City of Coquitlam’s 13 community profile areas (City open data, retrieved October 25, 2026); the names buyers and MLS® listings use don’t always follow these lines, so each outline links to my guides for the streets inside it. Developments outside Burke Mountain are pinned from each project’s civic address with the BC Address Geocoder; Goldfinch, Stirling Block, Burquitlam Park District, Ironwood, Sundays on Grant and Dwell are placed at block level, and Coronation Heights and the two Fraser Mills buildings at street level from OpenStreetMap. Statuses come from each developer’s own website, checked October 25, 2026: “Selling now” means the developer lists homes for sale, including completed buildings with homes left. Home counts are shown only where the developer publishes them. Rental-only buildings aren’t shown, and projects I couldn’t verify on the developer’s own site are left off rather than guessed. Burke Mountain’s developments are on their own map. Prices are MLS® HPI benchmark prices from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® REALTOR® Report for the latest month on file, updated with my monthly stats run; price pins mark approximate GVR neighbourhood centres, because GVR doesn’t publish neighbourhood boundaries. Address lookups use the Province of B.C.’s geocoder, distances are straight-line, and the nearest school isn’t always the catchment school. School locations come from the Province of B.C.’s K–12 school file (July 2026 update); Coast Salish Elementary and the Burke Mountain Middle-Secondary site are placed with the BC Address Geocoder. SD43 doesn’t publish catchment boundaries as a map, so they aren’t drawn: always confirm a catchment with the SD43 School Locator. Groceries and shops are placed from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and the BC Address Geocoder; community centres, libraries and City Hall from City open data. SkyTrain, West Coast Express and bus routes come from TransLink’s GTFS schedule (feed valid to January 3, 2027); trip counts are scheduled weekday trips for Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Route and arrival data used in this product or service is provided by permission of TransLink. The land-use and creek layers load live from the City of Coquitlam’s open-data map service. A land-use designation shows what the Official Community Plan allows, not what’s built or approved; rezoning decides each site. The City says its watercourse mapping may not show every watercourse exactly, and streamside setbacks are confirmed site by site: check the City’s Watercourse Setbacks map before relying on any lot. Parks, dog off-leash areas, spray parks and walking routes come from City open data (October 25, 2026). Daycares are licensed facilities from the Province of B.C.’s Child Care Map data (Open Government Licence – British Columbia), updated October 25, 2026; check the BC Child Care Map for spaces and fees.

Commentary

What this actually means.

Three things stand out in the September 2026 data.

First, every property type moved year over year. The 1-yr and 1-mo columns in the table above show both the size of that change and its pace this month. Read the two together before drawing a conclusion from either.

Second, the market differs by product type. Each home type’s sales-to-active ratio sits in a different place this month; the tracker’s coloured bar shows where. GVR notes prices tend to face downward pressure when the ratio stays below 12% and upward pressure above 20%. Read your own home type against those lines, not the city as a whole.

Third, compare the median detached sale, $1,449,000, with the detached benchmark in the table. The benchmark models a typical home; the median is the middle of what actually sold in September. The gap between them describes the mix of homes that traded that month, not a price change on its own. For a neighbourhood-level read, see home values by neighbourhood and average price in Coquitlam, or, for what these numbers mean for buyers, sellers and move-up families this month, read the Coquitlam real estate market update.

Buyer & seller playbook

How to play it.

If you’re buying

Look at your own property type first: its sales-to-active ratio, year-over-year change and average days on market are all in the table above. Get pre-approved, shortlist hard, and use each listing’s days on market as your negotiation signal. In the faster-moving segments, have your financing in place before you book showings. More context: is now a good time to buy?

If you’re selling

Pricing accuracy matters most when benchmarks have moved this much in a year. A list price set from last year’s sales may not match today’s comparables; a price set from current accurate comparables, with good presentation, gives buyers a reason to book showings. Start with a data-driven evaluation and read how to price your home.

General market commentary, not individual advice: your street, product type and timeline change the answer. On a 20-minute call I’ll read these numbers against your home and your plans.

Methodology & sources

How this report is put together.

Every figure on this page comes from Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) data for September 2026, released October 2, 2026: MLS® HPI benchmark prices plus by-type sales, active listings and days on market from GVR’s REALTOR® Reports, and each sales-to-active ratio, shown for one home type, calculated from the same REALTOR® Report tables. Coquitlam figures are the municipal HPI benchmarks and MLS® transaction counts for the City of Coquitlam. Benchmark prices use the MLS® Home Price Index (HPI), a “typical home” measure that strips out mix effects, which is why it differs from average or median sale prices.

Refresh cadence. This report is refreshed every month when GVR publishes new data. Next expected update: early November 2026 (October 2026 data).

Straight answers

Coquitlam market report: your questions, answered.

What is the benchmark price of a detached house in Coquitlam right now?

As of the September 2026 Greater Vancouver REALTORS® release, the benchmark (MLS® HPI) price for a detached home in Coquitlam is $1,584,400, a change of -6.6% from a year earlier. In the same month there were 46 detached sales against 470 active listings, a 9.8% sales-to-active ratio.

How have Coquitlam home prices changed over the past year?

Year over year to September 2026, the Coquitlam benchmark changed -6.6% for detached homes, -6.4% for townhouses and -7.3% for apartments. Month over month the changes were -0.9% detached, -1.1% townhouse and -0.9% apartment, which shows how quickly the yearly change is building.

Is Coquitlam a buyer’s or seller’s market right now?

There isn’t one answer for the whole city; it varies by property type and by neighbourhood. The clearest measure is the sales-to-active ratio. In September 2026, townhomes ran a 13.3% sales-to-active ratio, detached homes 9.8% and apartments 10.5%. Greater Vancouver REALTORS® notes prices tend to face downward pressure when the ratio stays below 12% and upward pressure above 20%. Compare your own home type, and your own neighbourhood’s recent sales, with those lines rather than relying on a city-wide label.

How does Coquitlam compare with Greater Vancouver as a whole?

In September 2026, the Greater Vancouver benchmark was $1,784,700 for a detached home, $1,016,700 for a townhome and $682,500 for a condo, against Coquitlam’s $1,584,400, $976,600 and $640,100. Regional sales-to-active ratios were 9.5% detached, 12.9% townhome and 11.7% condo.

Why is the median detached sale different from the benchmark?

The benchmark models a typical Coquitlam detached home with mix effects stripped out; it was $1,584,400 in September 2026. The median, $1,449,000, is the middle of the homes that actually sold that month, so it moves with which homes happened to trade. Neither is the value of a specific home; that comes from accurate comparables on its own street.

How often is this Coquitlam market report refreshed?

Monthly. Figures come directly from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® statistics package; this page reflects the September 2026 release published October 2, 2026, and the next refresh follows the early-November 2026 release.

What’s the difference between benchmark and average price?

The benchmark comes from the MLS® Home Price Index and represents a typical home for the area with mix effects stripped out. Average (or median) prices move with which homes happened to sell that month, and a few luxury sales can swing them. The benchmark is the better trend measure; the median tells you what actually transacted. More on this: what the MLS® benchmark price is.

Craig Johnston, REALTOR®

I’ve lived in the Tri-Cities for more than 47 years and on Burke Mountain for more than nine, and I work Coquitlam every day. I read each monthly GVR release against the sales I see on the ground, because a city benchmark describes a typical home, not yours. If you want to know what the numbers mean for your street, your price band and your timing, that’s the conversation I’m happy to have.
