Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam House Prices, September 2026: What Detached Homes Cost Now
A typical detached house in Coquitlam was $1,584,400 in September 2026. In Port Coquitlam it was $1,240,600. Both figures fell again from August, and both cities remain below the Metro Vancouver detached price. Here is what the September numbers say for anyone buying or selling a house in either city.
The detached numbers for both cities
Greater Vancouver REALTORS publishes a benchmark price each month for every city it covers. A benchmark is a modelled price for a typical home of that type, with size, age and lot held steady, so the figure does not jump when a few unusual homes happen to sell. The September 2026 statistics package, released October 2, gives these detached figures:
| Detached house | Coquitlam | Port Coquitlam | Metro Vancouver |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benchmark price | $1,584,400 | $1,240,600 | $1,784,700 |
| Change from August 2026 | down 0.9% | down 0.3% | down 0.8% |
| Change from September 2025 | down 6.6% | down 8.5% | down 7.3% |
| Change over 5 years | down 0.6% | up 1.5% | down 2.0% |
| Change over 10 years | up 31.7% | up 48.5% | up 4.5% |
A typical Coquitlam house costs $343,800 more than a typical Port Coquitlam house. Coquitlam sits $200,300 below the regional detached benchmark, and Port Coquitlam sits $544,100 below it.
Port Coquitlam has fallen faster this year. Its detached index is down 8.2% over six months and 6.2% over the last three months alone, against 2.5% and 3.9% for Coquitlam over the same periods.
How many houses sold
Benchmark prices describe what a typical home is worth. Sales counts tell you how many people acted. Detached sales and new listings from the board's area tables:
| Detached, September | Coquitlam 2025 | Coquitlam 2026 | Port Coquitlam 2025 | Port Coquitlam 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 52 | 46 | 5 | 26 |
| New listings | 178 | 158 | 73 | 52 |
| Sales as a share of new listings | 29% | 29% | 7% | 50% |
Port Coquitlam's jump from 5 sales to 26 looks large, but September 2025 had only 5 sales there, against 50 in July and August 2025 combined. The three-month totals give a steadier picture. From July to September 2026, Port Coquitlam recorded 62 detached sales, up 12.7% from 55 in the same months of 2025. Coquitlam recorded 142, down 19.3% from 176.
For the full year so far, January to September, Coquitlam detached sales are 447 against 446 in 2025, almost exactly level. Port Coquitlam is at 159 against 172, down 7.6%.
The median detached sale price, which is the middle price of the houses that actually sold, was $1,449,000 in Coquitlam and $1,262,500 in Port Coquitlam. In Coquitlam that is $135,400 below the benchmark. With counts this small the median moves a lot: Coquitlam's was $1,554,500 in August and $1,449,000 in September, a change of $105,500 in one month. That is why we use the benchmark to track prices over time.
Townhomes and apartments for comparison
Many detached buyers also look at townhomes, so here are the other two types:
| September 2026 | Coquitlam | Port Coquitlam |
|---|---|---|
| Townhome benchmark | $976,600 (down 6.5% YoY) | $834,300 (down 7.8% YoY) |
| Apartment benchmark | $640,100 (down 7.3% YoY) | $550,000 (down 9.0% YoY) |
| Detached minus townhome | $607,800 | $406,300 |
The step from a townhome to a house is $201,500 smaller in Port Coquitlam than in Coquitlam.
What the regional ratio tells you
The board measures how quickly homes are selling with the sales-to-active-listings ratio: homes sold in a month divided by homes listed for sale. Across Metro Vancouver it was 10.9% in September 2026, and 9.7% for detached homes. Greater Vancouver REALTORS says prices tend to face downward pressure when the ratio stays below 12% for a sustained period, and upward pressure when it passes 20% over several months.
The board does not publish this ratio for each city, so we cannot give you a Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam figure. The regional detached ratio has been below 12% in both August (9.6%) and September (9.7%).
What this means if you are buying a house
- You can keep your conditions. With the detached ratio below 10%, a financing condition and a home inspection are normal. Our subject-free offer explainer covers when dropping conditions is worth the risk.
- Compare the two cities on the same terms. The two cities differ in lot sizes, house ages and commutes, as well as price. Our Coquitlam versus Port Coquitlam comparison covers how lots, house ages and commutes differ.
- Ask for recent sold prices on the street. The houses that sold in Coquitlam in September had a median price $135,400 below the benchmark, so a city-wide figure is a weak guide to one street.
What this means if you are selling a house
More sellers came back after Labour Day: Coquitlam detached listings rose from 122 in August to 158 in September, and Port Coquitlam from 36 to 52. Your house competes with more homes than it would have a month ago.
Price to what sold near you in the last 60 to 90 days, and plan for prices that are still easing month to month. Our guide to pricing a home walks through how to build a list price from recent sales. If you are weighing a sale to a builder instead, read selling a Coquitlam house to a builder.
