What’s My Home Worth in Anmore? — September 2026 benchmark + how acreage is valued
The GVR Anmore detached benchmark was $3,063,700 in September 2026 (−3.7% year over year), $1,160,200 above the Port Moody detached benchmark of $1,903,500. It is based on 1 sale that month, so it moves a lot. Your home's value depends on the lot, its usable building area, water source, septic system, condition and privacy.

Village read
Anmore is a separate municipality — the Village of Anmore — between Port Moody, Belcarra and Buntzen Lake. Most of the village is zoned for large residential lots, so the land, its slope and its services carry far more of the value than they do on a Coquitlam or Port Moody street grid.
That changes how a valuation works. On a city street there are often several recent sales of similar homes within a few blocks. In Anmore there are fewer sales and more differences between them: one property has a flat, sunny building site and a newer home, the next has a steep driveway, a 1980s house and an older septic field. Each comparable has to be adjusted for those differences before it says anything about your home.
The GVR benchmark helps with direction. It was −3.7% year over year in September 2026, meaning the typical Anmore detached home was benchmarked lower than a year earlier. It cannot tell you where your property sits relative to that typical home — that is what the comparable-sales work is for.
What lifts value
These are the features that, in Craig's assessment, most often separate stronger Anmore results from weaker ones. None of them has a fixed dollar value; the comparable sales decide how much each one is worth at the time.
What holds value back
Buyers in this price range usually bring their own inspectors and their lender's requirements. These are the items that tend to turn into conditions, renegotiation or a smaller buyer pool when they surface late:
Most of these are fixable or at least documentable before listing. Knowing about them first lets you decide whether to repair, disclose with a quote, or price for them.
Anmore · who actually buys here
Anmore buyers have usually chosen the trade-offs before they book a showing: a car for every errand, private systems to manage, and fewer neighbours in exchange for land, trees and quiet. Many are already in the Tri-Cities, often moving up from a detached home in Port Moody or Coquitlam, and others come from elsewhere in Metro Vancouver looking for a larger lot. They compare carefully, and they compare against Westwood Plateau, Heritage Mountain and Burke Mountain as well as against other Anmore listings.
The most common pricing mistake is anchoring to one standout sale or to the benchmark itself. With 1 detached sale in September 2026 and 34 homes for sale, a single result says very little about a different property. The second mistake is pricing the house and ignoring the land and systems — a strong house on a lot with an undocumented septic system will not be read the same way by a buyer's lender or inspector.
The better approach is to price the specific attributes of your property against the closest comparable sales, then decide how to present the items a careful buyer will ask about.
Anmore · what an estimator misses
Automated estimates average recent nearby sales. That works best where homes are similar and sales are frequent — the opposite of Anmore.
An algorithm sees the lot size and the floor area. It does not see whether the building site is flat or steep, whether the property is on Village water or a well, how old the septic field is, whether the suite is permitted, or how private the lot feels from the house. In Anmore those are often the items that decide the price.
Thin data makes it worse. When there are only a few sales a month, a model may lean on sales that are older, structurally different or outside the village. That can push an estimate too high or too low, and there is no way to tell which from the number alone.
What this means practically: treat any online figure — including the assessed value on your tax notice — as a starting point for a conversation, not as a number to price against. An assessment is a mass-appraisal estimate set at a fixed date for taxation; market value is what a real buyer will pay for your specific property today. They routinely differ, in both directions.

Frequently asked
Greater Vancouver REALTORS® published an Anmore detached benchmark of $3,063,700 for September 2026, −3.7% year over year. A benchmark describes a typical home in the neighbourhood, not an average and not your home. In Anmore the gap between one property and the next is wide: lot size and usable area, the water source, the septic system, the home's age and condition, and privacy all move the number. A valuation for your address starts from the closest comparable acreage sales, adjusted for those items.
Because it rests on very few sales. GVR recorded 1 detached sale in Anmore in September 2026 against 34 active listings. With a sample that small, one unusual sale can swing the figure noticeably up or down, so read the benchmark as a direction marker over several months, not a price for any one home.
Your assessment is a mass-appraisal estimate set at a valuation date of July 1 of the previous year, built for property tax rather than for a sale. It can miss what buyers pay for, or deduct for, on acreage: a failing septic field, a well with low flow, a steep lot with a small building site, or a recently rebuilt home. Treat it as a reference point, not a list price.
They affect how confidently a buyer can firm up. The Village of Anmore supplies water to properties on its system (it buys that water from Port Moody), but some homes use private wells, and outside Anmore Green Estates the Village has no role in septic or sewer — most homes are on onsite septic systems regulated through Fraser Health. Buyers and lenders will ask for septic records, an inspection by an Authorized Person, and well test results where there is a well. Having those ready removes guesswork. The Anmore septic, well and building guide lists what to gather.
Anmore Elementary is the village's public elementary. Anmore is one of the elementary catchments zoned to Eagle Mountain Middle, which sits just inside the Anmore border next to Heritage Woods Secondary in Port Moody, and Heritage Woods is the usual secondary school for Anmore addresses. Catchments can split street by street, so confirm your exact address with the SD43 School Locator.
Anmore South is the roughly 150-acre former IOCO lands owned by icona Properties. icona applied to change the land use from Rural to Urban, but withdrew its application in June 2025 just before the public hearing, and the Village did not proceed. As of the Village's published update there is no approved change, so it should not be priced into a home today. Check the Village's Anmore South page for the current status before you list.
Your lot size and survey if you have one; building permits for additions, suites or outbuildings; septic records (permit or filing, maintenance plan, pump-out receipts); well records and recent water tests if you have a well; a list of updates with dates (roof, windows, mechanical, kitchen and baths); and your parcel's zone under Anmore Zoning Bylaw 568-2017 if you plan to market suite or coach-house potential.
