Port Moody in September 2026: detached benchmark $1,903,500 (-8.4% YoY), townhouse $940,900 (-5.2%), apartment $676,200 (-4.9%). Volumes are thin — 16 detached sales against 148 active listings (10.8%) gives detached buyers real leverage, while apartments (14.8% sales-to-active) and townhomes (19.0%) both sit in GVR’s 12–20% balanced band. The composite benchmark is down 5.8% year over year — still the shallowest annual decline of the three Tri-Cities.

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.
Commentary
Port Moody is a small, lumpy market — read it carefully. 16 detached sales in a month means one waterfront-adjacent sale can move averages; that's why the benchmark (HPI) is the number to watch. At $1,903,500, detached Port Moody carries a premium over Coquitlam ($1,584,400) and always has — inlet, trails and the Moody Centre lifestyle price in.
Townhomes ran tighter than detached: a 19.0% sales-to-active ratio, though the benchmark moved -4.7% on the month (-5.2% YoY) — with only 8 townhouse sales, one month can swing. Supply of family-sized townhomes near SkyTrain stays structurally short.
Detached buyers have a window: 148 active listings against 16 sales — a 10.8% detached ratio, below GVR’s 12% line (Coquitlam 9.8%, Port Coquitlam 15.3%). For area context see the Port Moody guide and Heritage Mountain homes.
Buyer & seller playbook
Detached is where the leverage is — 10.8% sales-to-active means sellers are competing for you. Take your time, inspect thoroughly, negotiate on days-on-market. Townhomes are the opposite: the good ones near Moody Centre and Inlet Centre still move.
With thin volumes, your comparable set is small and pricing precision matters double. A detached listing entering a 148-against-16 month needs sharp pricing and real presentation to stand out; townhouse (19.0%) and apartment (14.8%) sellers face balanced conditions this month. Start with a home evaluation.

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. Port Moody figures are the municipal HPI benchmarks and MLS® transaction counts for the City of Port Moody. 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.

The September 2026 data gives detached buyers unusual leverage: 148 active listings against 16 sales. Whether it's the right time for you depends on your financing, timeline and the specific home — but the supply-demand balance currently favours prepared buyers.

Because Port Moody's monthly sale counts are small, averages swing wildly with one or two luxury or waterfront sales. The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark models a typical home and is far more stable for reading the trend in a low-volume market.
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.
