Inlet Centre, Port Moody - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Inlet Centre, Port Moody: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks - Here's the Proof

The Vibe Right Now

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around Inlet Centre lately, here's the honest read: the market is taking a breather. Values are down slightly from recent highs, but this neighbourhood is still punching well above its weight compared to most of Port Moody. We're not in freefall - we're in a pause. And pauses can be opportunities if you know how to read them.

Houses: Still the Premium Play

Our houses are sitting at an average HonestDoor Price of $1,521,760. That's down 1.57% from the last period, but context matters here. The predicted market value is actually tracking at $1,545,960 - above the 3-month moving average of $1,542,657. That's a signal that the floor is holding.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,521,760
• Predicted Market Value: $1,545,960
• 3-Month Moving Average: $1,542,657
• Average Rental Estimate: $5,586 per month
• Rental Yield: 3.99% - moderate but real income
• Airbnb Potential: $278 per night (ranked 10th in Port Moody)
• Growth Rank: 5 out of 16 neighbourhoods - above average in Port Moody

That growth rank is worth pausing on. Out of 16 comparable neighbourhoods across Port Moody, Inlet Centre houses land in the top third. Moody Centre edges us out at $1,557,570, but Coronation Park ($1,125,228) and Mountain Meadows ($1,195,653) are both sitting well below us. We're in the upper tier, and that position matters when buyers are comparing options.

Condos: A More Complex Picture

The condo story here is a bit more nuanced, and we should be straight about it. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $802,414 - and that's actually 4.92% lower than the average city assessment of $843,913. That gap is the whole point of checking your HonestDoor Price right now. The city's number is higher than what the real-world market is currently reflecting.

• Average Assessed Value: $843,913
• Average HonestDoor Price: $802,414 (down 1.02% from last period)
• Average Sale Price (recent): $795,000 (up 36.9% from last month)
• Price Per Square Foot: $770
• Average Rental Estimate: $3,631 per month
• Rental Yield: 3.23%
• Airbnb Potential: $180 per night (ranked 6th in Port Moody)
• Total Transactions in 2026: 8 sales across 890 assessed properties
• Growth Rank: 11 out of 15 - below average in Port Moody
• Price Rank: 3 out of 8 - above average in price

The condo growth rank of 11 out of 15 is the number we need to be honest about. Condo values here have slipped 1.26% recently, and the predicted value of $810,693 is actually trending below the 3-month moving average of $816,111. That's a downward drift, not a crash - but it's real. The silver lining: our condos still beat Coronation Park ($739,556) on predicted value, and at $770 per square foot, we're priced above average for Port Moody.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago, built on formulas that don't account for what buyers are actually doing right now. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from live market data. For condo owners in Inlet Centre, that difference is nearly $41,500. That's not a rounding error - that's a renovation budget, a down payment on a rental, or a negotiating chip you didn't know you had.

For house owners, the HonestDoor Price and the predicted market value are both signalling that the city's static assessment likely hasn't caught up to where things actually sit. Knowing your real number before you list - or before you refinance - puts you ahead of every neighbour who's still guessing.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Inlet Centre and you're eyeing a summer sale, the timing is real. You're sitting in the top third of Port Moody neighbourhoods by growth rank, your rental income potential backs up your asking price story, and buyers who've been priced out of Moody Centre are looking at us as the next best option. A $1.5M-plus house with $5,586 in monthly rental potential is a compelling pitch.

If you own a condo, the honest advice is to move with intention. The market is softer, volume is low (only 1 sale last month, down 50%), and the growth rank puts us in the bottom half of Port Moody right now. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means price it sharp, know your real HonestDoor number, and don't anchor to that city assessment that's running $41,000 above market reality.

Bottom line: Inlet Centre is still a strong address in Port Moody. Houses are holding their ground. Condos need a clear-eyed strategy. Either way, the first move is checking your HonestDoor Price - because the number on your tax notice and the number a buyer will actually pay are two very different conversations right now.
