Benchmark prices in September 2026

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 stays steady when a few unusual homes happen to sell. These are the figures from the September 2026 statistics package:

September 2026 benchmark	Coquitlam	Port Moody	Difference
Detached house	$1,584,400	$1,903,500	Port Moody $319,100 higher
Townhome	$976,600	$940,900	Coquitlam $35,700 higher
Apartment	$640,100	$676,200	Port Moody $36,100 higher
All three types combined	$971,700	$1,011,500	Port Moody $39,800 higher

Port Moody is 20.1% above Coquitlam for a detached house and 5.6% above it for an apartment. Coquitlam is 3.8% above Port Moody for a townhome.

Over five years it has grown more for detached homes and apartments, and Coquitlam townhomes grew 0.8 percentage points more than Port Moody townhomes.

How many homes sold

The board's area tables group Port Moody with Belcarra for sales and new listings, so the Port Moody columns below cover both places.

September 2026	Coquitlam sales	Coquitlam new listings	Port Moody and Belcarra sales	Port Moody and Belcarra new listings
Detached	46	158	16	53
Attached	33	121	9	28
Apartment	62	236	21	70

Single months are small numbers, so the three-month totals give a steadier picture. Detached sales from July to September 2026 were 142 in Coquitlam, down 19.3% from 176 a year earlier, and 44 in Port Moody and Belcarra, up 22.2% from 36. For the detached type, sales were 29.1% of new listings in Coquitlam and 30.2% in Port Moody and Belcarra in September.

The step from a townhome to a house

Many families buy a townhome first and plan to move to a house later. The benchmark prices show how large that step is in each city:

• In Coquitlam, a detached house costs $607,800 more than a townhome ($1,584,400 against $976,600).
• In Port Moody, a detached house costs $962,600 more than a townhome ($1,903,500 against $940,900).

The step in Port Moody is $354,800 larger. A buyer who expects to move up later needs to plan for that difference in equity, which our affordability calculator can help you test against your income and savings. The same logic applies when you compare two cities for the home you want to end up in, as in our Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam comparison.

Transit in each city

The Millennium Line's Evergreen Extension opened on December 2, 2016 with six stations. TransLink lists them in order from Burquitlam, Moody Centre, Inlet Centre, Coquitlam Central, Lincoln to Lafarge Lake-Douglas. Moody Centre and Inlet Centre are in Port Moody. Burquitlam, Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas are in Coquitlam.

The trip to a station depends on the address of the home. For each home you are considering, enter its address in TransLink's trip planner at the hour you would travel, and walk or drive the route to the station once. Our guides to Burquitlam, Coquitlam Town Centre and Port Moody describe the areas around the stations.

Which city fits which buyer

The September 2026 benchmarks give this pattern:

• Detached house: Coquitlam costs $319,100 less. If a house is the goal and price decides, Coquitlam has more homes within reach. See the live pages for Coquitlam and its neighbourhoods, including Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau.
• Townhome: Port Moody costs $35,700 less. Our Coquitlam townhouse buyer's guide covers what to check in a complex, and the Port Moody page shows what is listed there now.
• Apartment: Coquitlam costs $36,100 less.

A benchmark describes a typical home. The home you want may be larger, older or in a different part of the city, so ask for recent sold prices on the same street before you decide.
