Three things every buyer needs to know before making an offer in this price range.
Strata fees affect your total debt service qualification. Know your budget including the strata fee before you start shopping.
Review the depreciation report, contingency reserve fund, and AGM minutes. A well-funded building is worth more and protects your investment.
Sub-$700K condos attract first-time buyers and investors alike. Well-priced units typically go in the first week. Have your offer ready.
Yes. As of September 2026, there are active 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom strata units in Burquitlam, North Coquitlam, and Maillardville under $700,000.
Burquitlam and Maillardville are consistently the most affordable. North Coquitlam is slightly higher-priced but offers newer building stock.
The Burquitlam and Town Centre SkyTrain corridor and ongoing densification support long-term value. Outcomes depend on building quality and purchase price.
Lenders include 50% of monthly strata fees in your total debt service calculation. At $600/month in strata fees, $300/month is added to your debt obligations.
Review the depreciation report, contingency reserve fund balance, and AGM minutes. A healthy building has a funded reserve above 30% of estimated repair costs.
