Monthly Market Report
The verified Coquitlam numbers from the June 2026 GVR release — read through the lens of the Plateau's established golf-course and view-home market.
The honest answer in 30 seconds
Westwood Plateau trades inside Coquitlam's June 2026 numbers — detached benchmark $1,649,000 (-4.8% YoY), with the detached median at $1,750,000. The Plateau is an established move-up and luxury detached market: larger homes on larger lots, many with golf-course or city views, that typically transact above the city benchmark. In a -4.8% YoY detached market, accurate pricing decides everything up here.
Data, honestly labelled
How to read this honestly: Greater Vancouver REALTORS® publishes benchmark data at the municipal level, not for individual neighbourhoods. The verified numbers below are for the City of Coquitlam — Westwood Plateau's parent market. The neighbourhood commentary that follows is Craig's local read of how Westwood Plateau typically trades against those city-wide figures; it is qualitative, not a published sub-area index.

Regional context — Greater Vancouver, June 2026
2,390 residential sales region-wide (+9.6% vs. a year ago) · 17,017 active listings (-3.1% YoY) · composite benchmark $1,099,100 (-6.0% YoY) · sales-to-active ratio 14.6%. Below ~12% sustained, prices tend to face downward pressure; 12–20% is balanced; above 20% favours sellers.
Craig's local view
The Plateau is Coquitlam's established prestige detached market. Built out through the 1990s and 2000s around the golf courses, it offers what Burke's new construction can't: mature streetscapes, big lots, and a housing mix dominated by executive detached homes. The detached median ($1,750,000) running above the benchmark ($1,649,000) tells you larger move-up product is what's transacting in the city — much of that story lives here.
Move-up and luxury segments behave differently in a soft market: showings thin out, days-on-market stretch, but well-priced homes with real view or golf-course positioning still find their buyer. The discretionary seller who can wait, waits; the priced-right home still sells.
Go deeper: the Westwood Plateau guide, Plateau homes for sale, and Coquitlam luxury homes, and what each price band buys on the Plateau.
Buyer & seller playbook
Luxury and view product is where soft markets give patient buyers their best openings — more selection, longer days-on-market, sellers who've adjusted. Inspect older Plateau homes carefully (roofs, decks, perimeter drainage on slope lots) and price against what's sold, not what's listed.
In a -4.8% YoY detached market, Plateau sellers win on presentation and precision: stage the view, price to the last 90 days of comparables, and be ready for a longer runway than 2021-22. Start with the evaluation.

Where these numbers come from. Every figure on this page is taken directly from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) June 2026 statistics release, published July 3, 2026. Westwood Plateau is reported within municipal-level GVR statistics; neighbourhood commentary is qualitative local knowledge, clearly separated from published data. 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: August 4, 2026 (July 2026 data).

Straight answers
No — GVR publishes municipal-level benchmarks, so the Plateau reports inside Coquitlam's numbers. This page pairs the verified city data with a neighbourhood-level read from a Coquitlam REALTOR®.
Coquitlam's June 2026 detached benchmark is $1,649,000 and the detached median is $1,750,000. Plateau executive homes typically trade above the city benchmark, with golf-course and view properties commanding the premium — the specific home decides how much.
City-wide detached prices are -4.8% YoY with a 54% sales-to-new-listings ratio — balanced, not distressed. Well-priced, well-presented Plateau homes are still selling; overpriced ones sit. If your move is discretionary, the pricing conversation matters more than the calendar.

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.
