Selling Your Coquitlam Home for Maximum Value.

Coquitlam's August 2026 market is sending mixed signals — townhouses are moving at just 25 days on market with sales up year-over-year, while detached homes are taking considerably longer at 57 days. The story varies meaningfully by property type, and pricing strategy matters more this month than it has in years.

Detached Homes

Detached homes in Coquitlam benchmark at $1,599,100, down 5.9% year-over-year and 1.8% from July. At 57 days on market — more than double July's pace — buyers are clearly doing extended research before committing. 42 sales closed in August, with Burke Mountain and Central Coquitlam leading activity. In this environment, accurate pricing from the first day of listing is the single most important decision a detached seller can make.

Townhouses & Attached

Townhouses are the standout segment in Coquitlam this month — 35 sales at just 25 days on market, with the benchmark essentially flat from July at $987,900. Sales are up 6% year-over-year, making this the only property type in Coquitlam showing positive volume momentum. Burke Mountain townhouses and Coquitlam West continue to anchor demand. For sellers in this segment, the market is rewarding well-presented, accurately priced product with fast results.

Condos & Apartments

Condos and apartments benchmark at $646,100, down 7.8% year-over-year and essentially steady month-over-month. 59 sales closed in August — the most active segment by volume — anchored by North Coquitlam and Coquitlam West. At 39 days on market, buyers are taking their time in this segment, which means condition, staging, and pricing precision are all doing more work than they were a year ago.
