Port Moody Condo Market

Why Buy a Condo in Port Moody in 2026?

Port Moody’s condo market is unlike any other in the Tri-Cities. Suter Brook Village and Newport Village — the city’s two primary condo corridors — are walkable communities centred on Rocky Point Park, Murray Street’s restaurant and brewery strip, and direct access to the Shoreline Trail and Burrard Inlet.

Port Moody has fewer new condo buildings in the pipeline than Coquitlam or Burnaby, which constrains supply and supports resale values. A condo here isn’t just a purchase — it’s access to a community that consistently ranks among Metro Vancouver’s most livable. For buyers whose budget stretches to $650K–$800K, Port Moody is one of the highest-quality condo environments available in the Tri-Cities.

Due Diligence

Strata Checklist: What to Review Before You Buy

Request these documents during the subject period. Your lawyer or notary reviews them, but knowing what to look for lets you make an informed decision.

  • Depreciation Report: Shows the building’s long-term repair schedule and estimated costs for major systems. Suter Brook and Newport Village buildings are typically in good shape, but always confirm.
  • Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) Balance: A healthy CRF is 50%+ of annual operating budget. Depleted CRF means higher special levy risk — especially important in older Moody Centre buildings.
  • Strata Meeting Minutes (last 2 years): Look for water ingress issues (particularly in older buildings near the inlet), elevator or parking disputes, and any unresolved bylaw enforcement actions.
  • Form B (Information Certificate): Confirms monthly strata fees, any outstanding levies owed by the current owner, and any pending legal proceedings.
  • Rental Restrictions: Some Port Moody strata prohibit or limit rentals. If you plan to rent or want flexibility, confirm the strata’s rental policy before removing subjects.
  • Special Levy Notices: Any approved or proposed one-time assessments. Confirm whether any outstanding levies follow the unit or remain the seller’s obligation.
  • Warranty Coverage: New buildings carry 2-5-10 year warranty (Homes BC). Suter Brook buildings from 2005–2014 may have recently aged out of warranty — verify envelope condition in depreciation report.
