Coquitlam Market Statistics

The Coquitlam Housing Market includes very different residential submarkets, from high-rise condos around City Centre and Burquitlam to newer ground-oriented housing on Burke Mountain and established detached-home areas such as Central Coquitlam and Westwood Plateau. These Coquitlam Market Statistics track Coquitlam Home Prices, sales, inventory, new listings and sales-to-active-listings ratios by property type so buyers and sellers can see how the Coquitlam Real Estate Market is changing.

Coquitlam Real Estate Prices can move differently for detached homes, townhouses and condos because the city’s housing stock, terrain, building age and concentration of transit-oriented development vary by area. Use the charts below to compare current Coquitlam Housing Prices and longer-term trends, then explore Coquitlam Homes for Sale to compare active listings with the broader market data. For additional regional commentary, watch our monthly Market Statistics videos.

Interpreting these charts is not difficult, but it might take a few minutes of study the first time you look.

MLS® HPI Price: Indicates the current sale price of a “representative” house, condo or townhouse. The exact number isn’t what’s important here – look at the trends to assess how the market is moving relative to the past three years.

Median Sales Price: The median sales price is the middle price of all homes sold in a specific period. Half of the sales were above this price, and half were below. It reflects the actual prices buyers and sellers agreed on, but it can swing up or down depending on what types of homes happened to sell that month (e.g., more luxury homes or more entry-level units).

Total Inventory: The total number of homes currently listed for sale at the end of the month. This shows how much supply is available in the market. Rising inventory usually signals more selection for buyers, while declining inventory can indicate tightening conditions and increased competition.

New Listings: The number of homes that were newly added to the market during the month. This shows how much fresh supply is entering the market. Higher levels of new listings mean more options for buyers, while lower levels can signal limited selection and increased competition for available homes.

Sales: The total number of homes that successfully sold during the month. The stronger the market, the greater the number of sales!

Sales to Active Ratio: This ratio is widely used by industry insiders to quantify the strength of the market. It represents the percentage of the available inventory that is sold each month. Generally speaking, a ratio of below 0.12 indicates a slow market (“a buyer’s market”), while a ratio of over 0.20 indicates a hot market (“a seller’s market”), with many more buyers than sellers and intense competition for properties. A ratio between 0.12 and 0.20 reflects a “balanced” market, where the number of sellers and the number of buyers are roughly balanced.

Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) compiles and publishes the market data used in the Coquitlam Housing Market charts on this page. The charts track Coquitlam Home Prices through HPI benchmark and median sale-price measures, along with inventory, new listings, sales and sales-to-active-listings ratios for detached homes, townhouses and condos.

These Coquitlam Real Estate Statistics are updated as new monthly data becomes available. Reviewing several months of Coquitlam Market Statistics gives better context than relying on a single month, especially when Coquitlam Real Estate Prices are moving differently across property types. For broader regional comparisons, see our Market Statistics page.

Coquitlam’s housing growth is concentrated in several very different areas. The City directs a large share of new growth toward transit-oriented areas around City Centre, Burquitlam and Lougheed, while Burke Mountain continues to add substantial new housing and established neighbourhoods such as Austin Heights and Maillardville evolve more gradually.

These differences matter when reading Coquitlam Market Statistics because each area contains a different mix of condos, townhouses and detached homes. Coquitlam Home Prices and sales activity can therefore shift as the mix of properties sold changes from month to month, even when the broader Coquitlam Real Estate Market is relatively stable.

The Coquitlam Average House Price can move noticeably from month to month when the mix of detached homes sold changes. A month with more large or higher-priced detached-home sales can raise the average, while a month with more lower-priced sales can pull it down.

For that reason, Coquitlam Housing Prices are better understood by comparing several months of HPI, median sale prices and sales activity rather than relying on one monthly average. Coquitlam Real Estate Prices can also move differently by property type, so the detached, townhouse and condo charts should be reviewed separately.

Coquitlam Sold Prices are most useful when the comparable properties are genuinely similar in neighbourhood, property type, age, size, condition and site characteristics. A high-rise condo near Coquitlam Centre, a townhouse on Burke Mountain and a detached home in Central Coquitlam can participate in very different parts of the Coquitlam Housing Market even though all three are in the same city.

Coquitlam Real Estate Statistics provide the broader context for inventory, sales and price movement, while recent comparable sales provide more specific evidence for an individual property. Coquitlam Housing Prices should therefore be interpreted within the relevant neighbourhood and property type rather than as one uniform citywide market.

Coquitlam’s terrain creates meaningful differences between properties, particularly in hillside areas such as Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain. Views, slope, lot usability, retaining walls and access can affect buyer demand and make two homes with similar floor areas difficult to compare directly. Coquitlam’s own existing city content already recognizes terrain, slopes and views as relevant property considerations.

These characteristics can contribute to differences in Coquitlam Real Estate Prices that are not visible in a citywide chart. Coquitlam Market Statistics provide the broader trend, while Coquitlam Home Prices for individual properties still need to be compared within the appropriate location and property type.

Transit-oriented areas around Burquitlam and Coquitlam City Centre contain a much larger concentration of condos and higher-density housing, while communities such as Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain include considerably more ground-oriented housing. That different housing mix can cause parts of the Coquitlam Real Estate Market to move differently at the same time. Coquitlam specifically directs substantial future growth toward its SkyTrain areas and Burke Mountain.

When reviewing Coquitlam Market Statistics, buyers and sellers should therefore consider whether a change in Coquitlam Home Prices is being driven by the property type and area most relevant to them. Coquitlam Real Estate Statistics are most useful when the citywide charts are treated as context rather than as a substitute for local comparable sales.

Coquitlam Market Statistics provide useful citywide context, but prices and market conditions can vary substantially by housing type and location.

Coquitlam is part of the Greater Vancouver market, so broader regional trends can help put the Coquitlam Housing Market into context. Fraser Valley statistics are reported separately, and comparing the two regions can help show whether changes in sales, inventory or pricing are primarily local or part of a wider Lower Mainland trend.
