For buyers, the data paints a nuanced picture: detached homes in all three cities are sitting longer — 106 days on average in Coquitlam, 89 in Port Coquitlam, and 84 in Port Moody — creating real negotiating room, particularly where Coquitlam detached homes are selling at 95.83% of list price with a median of $1,624,000. Attached buyers face tighter conditions; sale-to-list ratios of 97.82% in Coquitlam, 97.70% in Port Coquitlam, and 97.39% in Port Moody indicate sellers are conceding only modestly, and days on market in the 70–79-day range suggest properties are moving at a steadier pace than the detached segment. For sellers of attached homes, pricing near or at market value remains the strategy — overpricing into a 70+ DOM environment will erode negotiating leverage quickly. Port Coquitlam offers the most accessible entry point in the region, with attached homes carrying an average list price of $712,670 and a median sold price of $616,000, making it the pragmatic choice for first-time buyers and investors watching carrying costs closely. Detached sellers in Port Moody should note that despite only 4 sales in the past 30 days against 140 active listings, those sales closed at 98.47% of list — suggesting that correctly priced homes still find motivated buyers even in a slow-volume segment.
