Methodology
Verified data only. Every number is taken directly from the monthly Greater Vancouver REALTORS® statistics release — benchmark (HPI) prices, sales, new listings and ratios. Where GVR doesn't publish reliable data for a community (tiny municipalities like Belcarra), the report says so plainly and separates verified figures from local qualitative commentary. No invented sub-area statistics, ever.
Updated monthly. GVR publishes in the first week of each month; these pages refresh shortly after. Current data period: September 2026 (published October 2, 2026). Next update: after the early-November 2026 release.
Written by a local. Craig Johnston is a REALTOR® (BC licence V99960, Royal LePage Elite West), a Burke Mountain resident and a lifelong Tri-Cities local — the commentary layer is his read of what the numbers mean street-level.

Straight answers
Directly from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® monthly statistics release — the same source agents use. The current reports reflect the September 2026 release published October 2, 2026. Benchmark prices are MLS® Home Price Index values.
Burke Mountain does have its own numbers — the monthly REALTOR® Report breaks Coquitlam down by neighbourhood; September 2026 is $1,867,100 detached and $1,040,600 townhouse. Anmore and Belcarra are a different case: they are small enough that a single month's sales can't support a reliable index, so those reports pair verified parent-market data with clearly-labelled local commentary rather than inventing a number.
By segment, not by city. In September 2026 the softest product is detached in Coquitlam (9.8%) and Port Moody (10.8%) and apartments in Port Coquitlam (8.6% sales-to-active), while the firmest is townhomes in all three cities — Coquitlam (13.3%), Port Moody (19.0%) and Port Coquitlam (20.6%). Port Coquitlam apartments currently have the loosest supply-demand balance — see each city's report for specifics.
A benchmark tells you the trend, not your number. For a specific valuation against live comparables, start with a free home evaluation — no obligation, and you'll get the honest number, not a teaser.

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.

“After searching for several years, I knew exactly what I was looking for—and Craig delivered. We viewed a handful of properties, and the home he ultimately found was exactly what I had been searching for. I couldn't believe how quickly he nailed it.”Warren Chu
“We had a fantastic experience working with Craig, who was recommended by a friend. He patiently guided us through the process to purchase our family forever home in Vancouver, explaining all the steps and answering all of our many questions. He was always responsive and available whenever we needed him and always felt like he wanted the absolute best for us.”Susie N
“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!”Ann English
