Monthly Market Report
The verified Port Moody numbers from the September 2026 GVR release — and what they mean on Heritage Mountain and in Heritage Woods.

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 September 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 has its own published September 2026 benchmarks: detached $1,933,800 (-5.0% YoY) and townhouse $1,098,100 (-1.6%), against Port Moody-wide figures of $1,903,500 (-8.4%) and $940,900 (-5.2%). Port Moody's detached market is loose city-wide (148 active listings vs 16 sales — a 10.8% sales-to-active ratio), though the mountain's own detached listings are thin (4 sales against 10 active) — while townhomes (19.0% sales-to-active) are the city's firmest product, with apartments (14.8%) also in the balanced band.
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 September 2026. The same report also breaks the city down by neighbourhood — Heritage Mountain’s own figures are in the Heritage Mountain table above. 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, September 2026
Metro Vancouver benchmarks, September 2026: detached $1,784,700 (-7.3% YoY) · townhome $1,016,700 (-4.7%) · condo $682,500 (-6.2%). Sales-to-active ratios: detached 9.5%, condo 11.7%, townhome 12.9%. 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 September 2026 data cuts two ways here. Port Moody detached is soft city-wide this month — 16 sales against 148 active listings, a 10.8% sales-to-active ratio, below the roughly 12% line where GVR’s balanced band begins. Heritage Mountain’s own detached table is much tighter, though: 4 sales against just 10 active listings (40.0%) — a small sample, but a reminder that city-wide leverage doesn’t automatically reach the mountain. Townhomes are steadier: at 19.0% sales-to-active they are Port Moody’s firmest product and read as a balanced market on GVR’s scale — behind Port Coquitlam (20.6%) but ahead of Burke Mountain (14.7%) and Coquitlam (13.3%) — with the benchmark down 5.2% year over year against 8.4% for Port Moody detached.

Buyer & seller playbook
Detached leverage is the city-wide story this month — patient buyers can negotiate on Port Moody detached — but Heritage Mountain’s own detached supply is thin (10 active listings), so well-priced homes on the mountain can still move quickly. 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 148 active listings against 16 monthly sales city-wide — pricing precision and presentation decide whether you transact. Townhome sellers hold the city's best hand this month (the firmest sales-to-active ratio); apartment sellers also sit in the balanced band. Get the honest number first.

Where these numbers come from. 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. The city table is drawn from the GVR REALTOR® Report for Port Moody, September 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 November 2026 (October 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 September 2026: detached $1,933,800 (−5.0% year over year) and townhouse $1,098,100 (−1.6%) — the full table is above.
Port Moody's September 2026 detached benchmark is $1,903,500; Heritage Mountain's own published detached benchmark ($1,933,800) sits $30,300 above the city figure this month; view and greenbelt homes trade at the top of the neighbourhood's range. Townhomes benchmark at $940,900 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 the Tri-Cities’ 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.
