Sun Valley, Port Coquitlam - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Sun Valley, Port Coquitlam: What Your Neighbour Hasn't Told You Yet

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Sun Valley and wondering what's actually going on with prices, here's the straight story. The market is taking a breather - but it's not the same story for every property type on your street.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

For houses, we're in a pretty solid spot. The average sale price sits at $1,045,000, with a price per square foot of around $776. Only 2 houses sold recently, but the predicted market value of $1,258,539 is actually climbing past the 3-month moving average of $1,242,459. That upward trend matters. Our house growth rate ranks 1 out of 6 neighbourhoods in Port Coquitlam - that's the top of the leaderboard. Price rank is 4 out of 6, so we're not the priciest block in the city, which keeps us competitive for buyers.

• Average house sale price: $1,045,000
• Price per square foot: $776
• Predicted market value: $1,258,539
• 3-month moving average: $1,242,459
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,890
• Rental yield: 4.36%
• House growth rank: 1 out of 6 in Port Coquitlam

Condos are a different conversation. Our condo predicted value has slipped to $630,756, down from a 3-month moving average of $641,921. Values have moved by -2.83% recently, and that puts us at rank 6 out of 6 for condo growth in Port Coquitlam - the bottom of the leaderboard right now. Nearby, Lincoln Park condos are predicted at $686,421 and Birchland Manor sits higher too. If you own a Sun Valley condo, this is not the time to assume your value held steady.

• 3-month moving average: $641,921
• Recent value change: -2.83%
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,040

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

Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice. It reflects a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. The market has moved since then - and not always in the direction the assessment suggests.

For houses in Sun Valley, the average assessed value is $1,260,593. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,221,926. That's a gap of about 3.07%. Your assessment is running higher than what the real-world market is currently saying. If you're making any financial decision based on that assessment number alone, you could be working with stale data.

For condos, the gap is even wider. Average assessed value is $653,683. The HonestDoor Price is $622,143 - that's 4.83% lower than the assessment. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual transaction data and market signals. It's the number that reflects what a buyer would actually put on the table today, not what a government formula calculated months ago.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Sun Valley and you're thinking about listing, the timing has something going for it. Our growth rank is sitting at number 1 in Port Coquitlam for houses. Values are trending up from the 3-month average. With only 3 total property transactions recorded in 2026 so far, inventory is tight - and tight inventory generally helps sellers. A rental estimate of $4,890 per month also gives buyers a reason to pay attention, whether they're owner-occupiers or investors.

If you own a condo, be honest with yourself before you price it. The market is softer, the growth rank is last in the city right now, and the predicted value is sliding below the 3-month average. That doesn't mean you can't sell - it means you need to price sharp and not anchor to your assessment. Use your HonestDoor Price as your starting point, not your tax notice.

Bottom line - Sun Valley is a split market right now. Houses are punching above their weight. Condos are taking a breather. Know which one you own, and price accordingly.
