🏠 Detached Homes – A Market in Transition
|
-
Benchmark Price: $1,719,700 (down 6.0% year-over-year)
-
Sales: 59 transactions in August (up 47.5% vs. last year, but from a smaller base)
-
Active Listings: 498 (steady supply, only +0.4% YoY)
-
Days on Market: 34 (faster than last year’s 41)
-
Sales-to-Active Ratio (SAR): 11.8% → firmly in balanced marketterritory
|
|
🔎 What this means: Buyers are gaining leverage as prices soften, especially in higher-end pockets like Burke Mountain (-8.0%) and Harbour Chines (-8.1%). But don’t let the price dip fool you—detached homes are still moving faster than last year, signaling motivated sellers and opportunity for buyers.

-
Sales: 33 in August (flat YoY, but steady demand)
-
Active Listings: 197 (up a huge 45.9% YoY)
-
Days on Market: 23 (faster than last year’s 30)
-
Sales-to-Active Ratio (SAR): 16.8% → tilting toward seller’s market
|
|
🔎 What this means: Even with more supply hitting the market, townhomes remain resilient—prices actually ticked up, showing that family-friendly layouts and affordability vs. detached are keeping them hot.
|
|
💡 Pro tip #1: If you’re a buyer looking in Central Coquitlam or Ranch Park, you’ll find plenty of listings (45+ actives each), and sellers are open to negotiation.
|
|
💡 Pro tip #2: Watch Burke Mountain, where townhomes are benchmarked at $1.2M (+1.6% YoY). This is one of the few submarkets posting growth while detached homes cool off.

📊 Detached vs Townhomes – The Takeaway
|
-
Detached 🏠: Prices softening (-6%) but sales activity picking up. A window of opportunity for move-up buyers who’ve been waiting for better deals.
-
Townhomes 🏘️: Prices resilient (+1%), days on market dropping. A competitive choice for families and downsizers alike.
👉 In short: detached sellers need sharper pricing, while townhome sellers can still expect strong interest if staged and marketed right.
