The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Houses: The average sale price is sitting at $1,547,500, and things are pretty steady on the sales side with 2 homes trading hands last month. Price per square foot is around $1,071.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice - it's a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it's already old news. The market doesn't wait for paperwork.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, market trends, and neighbourhood-level signals. For houses in Central Coquitlam, that means a predicted value of $1,762,211 - a number that reflects what buyers are actually doing right now, not what they were doing 12 months ago. That gap between your assessment and your HonestDoor Price could be tens of thousands of dollars. That's real money sitting in your home that your assessment might be completely missing.

The So What - Should You Sell This Summer?
If you're thinking about listing this summer, here's the honest read on Central Coquitlam.
The good news is that we're still one of the priciest neighbourhoods in Coquitlam - that 2 out of 12 price rank means buyers coming into this market know they're paying for something. Location, schools, access - Central Coquitlam has it. That doesn't disappear in a soft patch.
The caution is that house values have slipped -0.88% recently and the 3-month trend is pointing slightly down. Waiting for a big spring bounce may not be the play this year. If you've been sitting on equity and thinking "maybe next year," the data suggests sooner is smarter than later.
For condo owners, the story is a bit brighter - values are ticking up against the 3-month average, and Central Coquitlam holds the No. 1 Airbnb rank in Coquitlam. That's a real selling point for buyers who want flexibility. Lean into it.
Bottom line - Central Coquitlam is still a strong market. But strong markets don't stay static. Know your number, price it right, and don't leave money on the table by relying on last year's assessment.
