Monthly Market Report
The verified Port Moody numbers from the August 2026 GVR release — and what they mean on Heritage Mountain and in Heritage Woods.
Heritage Mountain · its own benchmarks
Most sites quote City of Port Moody figures for Heritage Mountain, because that is what the monthly press release carries. The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® REALTOR® Report also breaks Port Moody down by neighbourhood. These are Heritage Mountain’s own numbers for August 2026.
Apartment had no reportable sales in Heritage Mountain this month, so GVR publishes no benchmark for it.

The honest answer in 30 seconds
Heritage Mountain reports inside Port Moody's August 2026 numbers: detached benchmark $1,962,100 (-5.7% YoY), townhouse $986,900 (-2.3% — the smallest decline in the city). Port Moody's detached market is loose right now (151 active listings vs 12 sales — a 7.9% sales-to-active ratio), which gives Heritage Mountain detached buyers a rare window — while townhomes (18.6% sales-to-active) sit in the balanced band and apartments are the city's firmest product at 22.4%.
Data, honestly labelled
How to read this honestly: The table below is the City of Port Moody — Heritage Mountain’s parent market — taken from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® REALTOR® Report for August 2026. The same report also breaks the city down by neighbourhood — Heritage Mountain’s own figures appear below. The neighbourhood commentary that follows is Craig's local read of how Heritage Mountain typically trades against those city-wide figures; it is qualitative and clearly labelled as such.

Regional context — Greater Vancouver, August 2026
Metro Vancouver benchmarks, August 2026: detached $1,799,400 (-7.2% YoY) · townhome $1,028,800 (-4.4%) · condo $686,200 (-6.6%). Sales-to-active ratios: detached 9.4%, condo 13.9%, townhome 15.7%. Below ~12% sustained, prices tend to face downward pressure; 12–20% is balanced; above 20% favours sellers.
Craig's local view
Heritage Mountain is Port Moody's family-executive bench: 1990s-2000s detached homes and townhome enclaves stacked above the inlet, feeding the Heritage Woods Secondary catchment — one of the district's consistent draws. School-driven demand is the neighbourhood's floor.
The August 2026 data cuts two ways here. Port Moody detached is soft this month — 12 sales against 151 active listings, a 7.9% sales-to-active ratio, below the roughly 12% mark GVR treats as balanced — so buyers who've been waiting for leverage on the mountain finally have some. Townhomes are steadier: at 18.6% sales-to-active they sit in the balanced band — behind Port Coquitlam (21.0%) and Burke Mountain (20.3%), a touch ahead of Coquitlam (18.1%) — with the benchmark down just 2.3% year-over-year, the smallest decline of any Port Moody segment.

Buyer & seller playbook
Detached leverage on the mountain is the story this month — patient buyers can negotiate. Check catchments carefully if schools are the driver (they usually are up here), and weigh strata townhome fees against detached maintenance honestly.
Detached sellers: you're one of 151 active listings against 12 monthly sales city-wide — pricing precision and presentation decide whether you transact. Apartment sellers hold the city's best hand this month; townhome sellers sit in the balanced band. Get the honest number first.

Where these numbers come from. Every figure on this page is taken directly from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) August 2026 statistics release, published September 2, 2026. The city table is drawn from the GVR REALTOR® Report for Port Moody, August 2026; all percentage changes are year-over-year. Neighbourhood commentary is qualitative local knowledge, clearly labelled and kept separate from published figures. 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.
Update cadence. This report is refreshed every month when GVR publishes new data. Next expected update: early October 2026 (September 2026 data).

Straight answers
The monthly REALTOR® Report breaks each city down by neighbourhood, so Heritage Mountain has its own published figures — the press release most sites quote only carries municipal numbers, which is why it is usually reported as “Port Moody.” For August 2026: detached $1,917,200 (−5.1% year over year) and townhouse $1,185,300 (+6.0%) — the full table is above.
Port Moody's August 2026 detached benchmark is $1,962,100; Heritage Mountain's own published detached benchmark ($1,917,200) sits just below the city figure this month; view and greenbelt homes trade at the top of the neighbourhood's range. Townhomes benchmark at $986,900 city-wide.
The Heritage Woods Secondary catchment (with Aspenwood and Eagle Mountain feeders) is one of SD43's most consistently sought-after paths, and catchment demand puts a persistent floor under family-home values on the mountain. Verify current catchment boundaries with SD43 before writing an offer — they do change.

Every community, every month
Round out the first-year cost picture.
I have spent the last 47+ years living in Coquitlam, 9+ years on Burke Mountain, helping move-up buyers and sellers get from where they are to where they want to be — without the panic of owning two homes at once or selling under value. I work the Tri-Cities every day: Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Heritage Mountain, and the rest of Coquitlam’s move-up neighbourhoods.
If you want a straight read on your timing, pricing, or move-up strategy, the fastest next step is a short call.
