Cityecho pulled these figures from the MLS® feed on October 9, 2026 at 9:26 a.m. PT: every active listing for houses in the Burke Mountain board area of Coquitlam. Prices are asking prices, and sale prices can differ. Days listed count from the listing contract date. The listings further down this page load live, so their count can differ from these figures.

Five checks for a newer Burke Mountain house

How much warranty is left
BC's home warranty covers materials and labour for 2 years, the building envelope (the walls, windows and roof that keep water out) for 5 years, and the structure for 10 years. Ask for the warranty certificate and its start date, look the home up in BC Housing's New Homes Registry, and work out what will still be covered on the day you move in.
Whether the suite is legal
The City of Coquitlam says every secondary suite needs a building permit to be legal. An owner found with an illegal suite must make it legal or remove it, and can be fined. Ask the seller for the permit, and check that the suite you see matches it.
The slope and the water
Lots on a slope often depend on retaining walls and drainage. Walk the whole lot, look at the walls that hold the ground back and at where water runs in heavy rain, and ask your inspector to report on both.
The land next door
Burke Mountain still has undeveloped land. If the house backs onto trees or an empty lot, ask the City what the zoning and neighbourhood plan allow there before you pay for the view.
Parking for you and a tenant
Count the parking you and any tenant will need, then see how the street fills up in the evening when people are home.

Active MLS® listings pulled October 9, 2026 at 9:26 a.m. PT. All prices are asking prices.

Read the price per square foot and the year built together. The first tells you what the space costs. The second tells you how soon the roof, windows and heating will need money.

Buying a house new from a builder

Some Burke Mountain houses are sold new by the builder. A new house carries 5% GST, which a resale house generally does not, so compare the two on their total cost.

If you are a first-time buyer, the Canada Revenue Agency's first-time home buyers' GST rebate can remove all of the GST on a new home up to $1 million and part of it up to $1.5 million, to a maximum of $50,000, for agreements signed on or after March 20, 2025. Compare the asking prices in the figures above with those limits before you count on it.
