Coquitlam’s real estate market in August 2026 shows a well-supplied but moderately active landscape, with 797 attached properties listed at an average of $787,453 and 448 detached homes averaging $2,049,919. Attached sales over the trailing 30 days reached 71 units at a median sold price of $689,900, while detached sales came in at 24 units with a median sold price of $1,782,500. Both segments are closing near asking price — attached at 97.97% and detached at 97.92% SP/LP — signalling that accurately priced properties are still transacting with confidence.

The attached segment’s 797 active listings against 71 sales in 30 days translates to roughly an 11-month absorption rate, giving buyers meaningful selection and negotiating room, yet sellers are still achieving just under 98 cents on the dollar when priced correctly. Detached homes tell a similar story: 448 active listings and only 24 sales produce an even slower pace, reflected in an average of 100 days on market — meaning overpriced detached listings are sitting. Buyers in the detached space have real leverage to negotiate, but properties positioned at or below the $1,782,500 median are moving. For attached buyers, the 67-day average DOM suggests a window to conduct thorough due diligence without the panic of a multiple-offer environment, while sellers must remain disciplined on pricing to avoid chasing the market down. Overall, August 2026 in Coquitlam favours patient, data-informed decisions on both sides of the transaction.

Key takeaways
With 797 active attached listings in Coquitlam and only 71 sales recorded in the past 30 days, buyers have approximately 11 months of inventory to choose from. The average list price of $787,453 sits well above the median sold price of $689,900, confirming that the properties actually closing are concentrated in the more accessible price bands. Sellers pricing into the upper tier of the attached range should expect extended exposure and the current 67-day average DOM.
Coquitlam detached homes averaged 100 days on market in August 2026, the longest DOM of either segment tracked this month. At 24 sales against 448 active listings, supply is heavy relative to demand. The median sold price of $1,782,500 is meaningfully lower than the average list price of $2,049,919, highlighting a gap between seller expectations and buyer willingness to pay. Detached sellers who align their list price closer to recent sold comps — rather than aspirational averages — are the ones converting.
Despite elevated inventory levels, both attached (97.97%) and detached (97.92%) properties in Coquitlam are selling within roughly 2% of list price in August 2026. This consistency tells a clear story: the market is not collapsing, but it is unforgiving of overpricing. Homes that enter at a realistic, data-supported list price are transacting efficiently; those that don’t are contributing to rising DOM statistics and eventual price reductions.
In Coquitlam’s attached segment, the $97,553 spread between average list price ($787,453) and median sold price ($689,900) indicates that higher-priced listings are inflating the average without actually trading. For detached, the $267,419 gap between average list ($2,049,919) and median sold ($1,782,500) is even more pronounced. Both buyers and sellers benefit from focusing on median sold prices and recent comparable sales rather than headline averages when setting expectations for August 2026.
