Around Mundy Park

Central Coquitlam: an old house or a rebuild, on the same street

Central Coquitlam sits in the middle of the city, around Mundy Park, and is mostly family houses. Listings filed under it run along streets such as Nelson Street, Howie Avenue, King Albert Avenue, Dansey Avenue, Mundy Street and the east end of Austin Avenue.

Most houses here were built before 1980. On many streets, though, you will see new houses where older ones stood. A buyer here is choosing between those two kinds of house, and a seller is competing with both.

Mundy Park, the centre of the neighbourhood

The City describes Mundy Park as a 178 hectare park and trail system. A 5.5 km multi-use path runs around it, and inner trails circle Mundy Lake and Lost Lake. It has ball diamonds, a lacrosse box, a nine-hole disc golf course, a playground, a sheltered picnic area and an outdoor pool, and a fenced off-leash area with separate sections for large and small dogs.

It is also forest. The City lists owls, bats, deer and black bears among the animals that live there, and it keeps a sand nesting beach at the south end of Lost Lake for the endangered western painted turtle. A house that backs onto the park gets that quiet and that wildlife, bears included, so ask how the current owners store their garbage.

For indoor sport, the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex at 633 Poirier Street is a 190,000 square foot building with pools, ice and a fitness centre.

The two houses on every street

Each kind of house needs its own set of checks.

The older house
Ask for an oil tank search, because BC's Ministry of Environment warns that a buyer can become liable for clean-up of a heating oil tank they did not know about. Ask for permits for any addition or suite, and have the inspector look at the wiring, the water pipes and the drain line to the street.
The rebuild
A house built in the last few years should be registered with BC Housing and carry a new-home warranty. Look it up in the New Homes Registry, ask for the warranty certificate and its start date, and confirm the builder closed the building permit with a final inspection.
The lot under either one
Since June 2025 most single-family lots in Coquitlam sit in one of four small-scale zones that can allow up to four homes, depending on the zone and the lot size. Look up the zone for the actual lot. It affects what the neighbours can build, too.
Austin Avenue nearby
The City's Southwest Shoulders and Corridors plan covers land along Austin Avenue. If the house is close to Austin Avenue, check whether the plan reaches its block and what it allows there.

Pricing a Central Coquitlam house when buyers are careful

Before you set a price, read the days listed and the number of price cuts in the figures above. Then work through these steps.

  1. 1

    Find the recent sales of houses of the same age and condition as yours. An older house and a rebuild on the same street sell to different buyers at different prices.

  2. 2

    Decide which buyer you are selling to: a family who will live in the house, or a builder who wants the lot. Price and present the house for that buyer.

  3. 3

    Fix what an inspector will find first, or price it in: an old roof, an old electrical panel, a suite without a permit.

  4. 4

    Have the oil tank search done before you list. A clear result removes a question a buyer's lawyer will ask.

  5. 5

    Set a price you will not need to cut. The figures above show how many current listings are already asking less than when they started.
