Port Coquitlam’s real estate market in October 2026 shows a clear split between its attached and detached segments, with meaningful inventory on both sides but limited buying activity in the trailing 30 days. Attached properties — 238 active listings averaging $701,331 — recorded 10 sales with a median sold price of $776,500 and a sale-to-list ratio of 98.03%, while detached homes — 149 active listings averaging $1,458,285 — saw just 6 sales at a median of $1,220,000 and a ratio of 95.35%. These figures, pulled from the Paragon MLS® system as of October 5, 2026, paint a picture of a buyer-leaning market where sellers must price carefully to compete. Browse current Tri-Cities listings →
For attached buyers in Port Coquitlam this October, an average of 57 days on market and 238 active listings give you genuine negotiating room, yet the 98.03% sale-to-list ratio signals that well-priced units are still trading close to asking — overly discounted offers are being rejected. On the detached side, 87 average days on market and a 95.35% SP/LP ratio tell a softer story: sellers are conceding roughly 4.7 cents on the dollar, and with only 6 homes sold in the last 30 days against 149 available, supply is running far ahead of demand. Sellers in both categories should resist the temptation to test the market with aspirational pricing; the data shows buyers are active but selective, and prolonged listings attract lower offers. Buyers, meanwhile, should be pre-approved and ready to move when a correctly priced property appears — the attached segment in particular can still see competitive situations when value is evident. Overall, October 2026 favours informed, patient buyers while rewarding sellers who lead with accurate, market-anchored list prices.

Key takeaways
With 238 active attached listings and an average of 57 days on market in October 2026, Port Coquitlam’s condo and townhouse segment has meaningful supply — but the 98.03% sale-to-list ratio on the 10 homes that did sell shows quality and value still move quickly. Buyers have choice; sellers have competition. The gap between the average list price of $701,331 and the median sold price of $776,500 suggests that the units actually closing are from the higher end of the attached spectrum, or that list prices on active inventory skew lower than ultimate transaction values for finished deals.
Six detached sales in the trailing 30 days against 149 active listings produces an absorption rate of roughly 4% — a strongly buyer-favoured condition in Port Coquitlam’s October 2026 detached segment. The average days on market of 87 and a sale-to-list ratio of 95.35% confirm that homes are sitting and sellers are negotiating. The median sold price of $1,220,000 sits well below the average list price of $1,458,285, indicating that the homes actually closing are either modestly priced listings or are selling after significant price reductions. Detached sellers need a compelling value proposition to stand out.
The 2.68-percentage-point spread between attached (98.03%) and detached (95.35%) sale-to-list ratios in October 2026 is not trivial. On a $1,458,285 average-priced detached home, that gap translates to roughly $39,000 left on the table relative to list price at closing — a figure that directly informs offer strategy for buyers and pricing discipline for sellers. Attached sellers pricing at or just below market are seeing near-full-price results, while detached sellers pricing above market are funding buyer concessions.
Whether you are buying or selling in Port Coquitlam this October, the numbers support a deliberate, data-driven approach. Buyers have time on their side in both segments but should not assume every listing is negotiable to the same degree — attached properties near fair market value are still achieving 98 cents on the dollar. Sellers who anchor their list price to recent comparable sales rather than peak-market benchmarks will reduce days on market and avoid the erosion of buyer confidence that comes with multiple price reductions.
