Port Coquitlam Market Report — Week of July 27, 2026
Port Coquitlam Inventory Climbs as Attached Prices Soften — Detached Holds Firm in Late July 2026
Port Coquitlam’s housing market is sending mixed signals this week. Attached home inventory has edged up to 234 active listings while the median sold price retreated from $744,000 to $691,400 — a notable week-over-week pullback. Detached homes are telling a different story: prices climbed to $1,487,500 from $1,405,000 last week, even as supply ticked up modestly from 172 to 175 listings. Both segments are still transacting close to list price, with sale-to-list ratios sitting at 97.0% and 97.4% respectively, confirming that sellers retain leverage despite the inventory build.

The divergence between attached and detached performance is the defining feature of Port Coquitlam’s market this week. On the attached side — which includes townhomes and condos — the 6-listing inventory increase to 234 active properties coincided with a $52,600 drop in median sold price. That does not necessarily signal distress; weekly medians shift with the mix of units that close in any given period. However, the directional trend bears watching. The sale-to-list ratio for attached homes improved very slightly to 97.0% from 96.8%, suggesting buyers are not yet gaining meaningful negotiating power. Detached homes in Port Coquitlam showed more resilience this week. The median sold price jumped $82,500 to $1,487,500, even as the sale-to-list ratio eased from 98.0% to 97.4%. That small compression in SP/LP is worth noting — it can reflect buyers nudging back on price in a segment where list prices have climbed. With 175 active detached listings, supply remains tight by historical standards. Across both segments, Port Coquitlam continues to operate as a seller’s market: homes are selling within 3% of list price on average, and inventory has not accumulated to levels that would shift negotiating leverage to buyers. Anyone active in this market — whether buying a townhome or a detached house — should come prepared with current comparables and a clear ceiling price.

Key takeaways
Attached active listings in Port Coquitlam rose from 228 to 234 in one week. A single-week increase of 6 listings is modest, but if this pace continues through August it could begin to dampen prices further. The median sold price for attached homes is already down to $691,400 this week from $744,000 last week.
The median sold price for detached homes in Port Coquitlam moved from $1,405,000 to $1,487,500 — an $82,500 increase in a single data week. This reflects strong underlying demand in the detached segment and a mix of higher-priced closings this period. Active supply at 175 listings remains constrained.
Both segments closed within 3% of asking price this week. Attached homes averaged a 97.0% SP/LP ratio and detached averaged 97.4%. For context, a ratio above 97% in a balanced-to-seller’s market means buyers have little room to negotiate — homes are effectively selling near full ask.
Last week detached homes in Port Coquitlam averaged a 98.0% sale-to-list ratio. This week that figure dipped to 97.4%. A 0.6-point compression is small but directionally meaningful — it suggests some buyers are successfully negotiating small reductions as detached list prices rise. Sellers should price accurately to maintain strong offers.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions answered
What is the average home price in Port Coquitlam in 2026?
As of the week of July 27, 2026, the median sold price for attached homes in Port Coquitlam is $691,400 and the median sold price for detached homes is $1,487,500. These figures represent closed sales data for that specific week and can shift week to week based on the mix of properties that close.
Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market in Port Coquitlam in 2026?
Port Coquitlam is currently a seller’s market in both the attached and detached segments as of July 2026. Attached homes are selling at 97.0% of list price and detached homes at 97.4%, meaning buyers have very limited negotiating room. Active listings of 234 attached and 175 detached are not high enough to shift power to buyers.
How long do homes sit on the market in Port Coquitlam in 2026?
Port Coquitlam homes that are priced correctly are selling close to list price — at 97.0% to 97.4% SP/LP ratios — which is consistent with properties moving within a few weeks of listing. Overpriced homes will sit longer, particularly in the attached segment where inventory has been rising and the median price softened to $691,400 this week.
What is a good sale-to-list price ratio in Port Coquitlam real estate?
A sale-to-list ratio above 97% is generally considered strong in the Port Coquitlam market and indicates sellers are achieving near-asking prices. In July 2026, both attached homes at 97.0% and detached homes at 97.4% are above this threshold, reflecting continued seller strength. A ratio below 95% would signal a meaningful shift toward buyer leverage.
When is the best time to buy a home in Port Coquitlam in 2026?
Buyers looking for more negotiating room in Port Coquitlam in 2026 may find late summer and fall advantageous if the current inventory build in attached homes continues — active listings rose from 228 to 234 in just one week. More supply typically gives buyers slightly more leverage and more time to make decisions. That said, detached prices jumped $82,500 in one week, so timing the market precisely is difficult and working with a local REALTOR® with current data is essential.
