Coquitlam Market Report — Week of August 10, 2026
Coquitlam Detached Prices Drop $178K in One Week as Attached Inventory Climbs
Coquitlam’s real estate market is sending mixed signals this week. Detached home prices dropped sharply — down $178,000 from last week’s median of $1,782,500 to $1,604,500 — while attached home inventory climbed from 797 to 812 active listings. Sale-to-list ratios softened across both property types, suggesting buyers are gaining modest leverage after months of tight conditions. Here is what the August 10, 2026 data shows for Coquitlam buyers and sellers. Browse current Tri-Cities listings →
Coquitlam’s attached segment now has 812 active listings, up from 797 the previous week — a 1.9% increase that reflects continued supply growth in the townhouse and condo market. Despite rising inventory, the median sold price for attached homes moved higher, from $689,900 to $729,950, a gain of $40,050 week-over-week. The sale-to-list ratio for attached properties dipped slightly from 98.0% to 97.5%, meaning buyers are negotiating marginally more off asking price than they were seven days ago, but sellers are still achieving strong returns close to list. On the detached side, active listings held nearly flat at 446 versus 448 last week, so the significant median price drop from $1,782,500 to $1,604,500 is more likely a reflection of the mix of homes that sold this week — smaller or older detached properties — rather than a structural collapse in detached values. The detached sale-to-list ratio also softened from 97.9% to 96.4%, a 1.5-percentage-point decline that confirms buyers of detached homes in Coquitlam are negotiating more room than they were a week ago. Taken together, the August 10 data paints a picture of a Coquitlam market that is still tilted toward sellers in attached housing, while detached buyers are finding slightly more room to negotiate on both price and terms.

Key takeaways
Active listings for attached homes in Coquitlam reached 812 this week, up from 797 the previous week. Despite more supply, the median sold price climbed to $729,950 — up $40,050 from $689,900 — suggesting demand remains firm enough to absorb new listings without significant price concessions.
Coquitlam detached homes recorded a median sold price of $1,604,500 this week, down from $1,782,500 last week. With active listings barely changing — 446 versus 448 — this $178,000 swing most likely reflects a composition shift in which homes closed this week rather than a true market correction. Buyers should not assume detached values have fundamentally declined.
Both property types saw sale-to-list ratios ease this week. Attached homes moved from 98.0% to 97.5%, and detached homes dropped from 97.9% to 96.4%. A 96.4% SP/LP ratio means a buyer on a $1,600,000 detached home is, on average, paying approximately $25,600 below list price — the most negotiating room detached buyers have seen in recent weeks.
With a 97.5% sale-to-list ratio and median prices rising week-over-week, Coquitlam’s attached market — townhouses and condos — continues to outperform detached in terms of seller-side competitiveness. Buyers entering this segment should be prepared to act quickly and present clean offers, as bidding close to list price remains the norm.
