Coquitlam Market Report — Week of September 21, 2026
Coquitlam Attached Inventory Climbs to 824 Listings as Detached Homes Sell Closer to Asking Price
Coquitlam’s real estate market is showing two distinct stories this week. Attached home inventory has edged up to 824 active listings while detached supply has held relatively steady at 441. Meanwhile, detached homes are now selling closer to their asking price than in the previous reading, signalling that motivated buyers are still competing for well-priced houses even as the broader market absorbs more product.

On the attached side — townhomes and condos — active listings rose from 815 to 824, a modest but continued build in supply. The median sold price among recent attached sales sits at $635,000, which is lower than the previous reading of $659,900. As explained below, that shift reflects the mix of units that happened to close in the last 30 days, not a change in what any individual property is worth. Attached homes are selling at an average of 97.8% of their list price, fractionally below the prior reading of 98.0%.
Detached homes tell a different story. Active listings dipped slightly from 446 to 441, keeping supply tight in that segment. The median sold price among recent detached sales is $1,475,000. The sale-to-list ratio for detached homes improved meaningfully — from 95.3% to 96.5% — indicating that houses priced correctly are drawing stronger offers than they were a few weeks ago.
For buyers, the rise in attached inventory means more options and slightly less urgency in that segment compared to earlier in the year. For sellers of detached homes, the improving SP/LP ratio suggests the market is responding well when pricing is realistic and presentation is strong. Neither segment is in extreme buyer’s or seller’s territory, but detached is the tighter of the two.
If you are weighing a purchase or a sale in Coquitlam right now, the numbers point to a market that rewards preparation. Attached buyers have more inventory to work through; detached buyers should expect to negotiate closer to asking. In both cases, understanding current sale-to-list ratios and recent comparable sales is essential before making an offer or setting a list price.

Key takeaways
Coquitlam’s attached segment now carries 824 active listings, up from 815 in the previous reading. More supply gives buyers additional options and reduces the pressure to make immediate decisions, though homes are still selling at 97.8% of list price on average — well within a competitive range.
Detached homes in Coquitlam are now selling at an average of 96.5% of their asking price, up from 95.3% previously. This is a genuine week-over-week improvement in buyer aggression and suggests that houses priced at or near market value are attracting stronger offers than a few weeks ago.
The median sold price across recent attached home sales in Coquitlam is $635,000. This is lower than the previous reading of $659,900, but that difference reflects which units — smaller condos versus larger townhomes — made up the recent sale mix, not a directional shift in what properties are worth.
With only 441 active detached listings, Coquitlam’s house market remains the tighter of the two segments. Limited supply, combined with an improving sale-to-list ratio, means sellers of well-maintained detached homes are in a relatively strong negotiating position heading into fall 2026.

Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market in Coquitlam in 2026?
As of September 2026, Coquitlam’s market is balanced to slightly favouring sellers in the detached segment, where only 441 homes are active and the sale-to-list ratio is 96.5%. The attached segment, with 824 active listings and a 97.8% sale-to-list ratio, is more balanced, giving buyers more choice without eliminating competition for well-priced properties.
How long do homes typically sit on the market in Coquitlam in 2026?
Days on market vary by property type and price point, but the current sale-to-list ratios — 97.8% for attached and 96.5% for detached — indicate that correctly priced homes in Coquitlam are not sitting long. Properties priced at or near market value are attracting offers close to asking, which is consistent with relatively brisk turnover rather than extended listing periods.
What is a good sale-to-list price ratio when buying a home in Coquitlam?
A sale-to-list ratio above 100% means homes are selling over asking, while ratios in the 96–99% range indicate buyers are negotiating modest discounts. In Coquitlam in September 2026, attached homes are averaging 97.8% and detached homes are averaging 96.5%, meaning a typical buyer is paying roughly 2–3.5% below list price. Knowing these benchmarks helps buyers make competitive but informed offers.
When is the best time to buy a home in Coquitlam in 2026?
There is no universally perfect time, but fall 2026 in Coquitlam presents a reasonable window for attached home buyers specifically, as inventory has grown to 824 active listings, providing more choice than earlier in the year. Detached buyers face tighter supply at 441 listings, so timing matters less than finding a property that fits your needs and making an offer grounded in current sale-to-list data.
