Town Centre, Burnaby - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Town Centre, Coquitlam: Prices Are Holding, But the Market Is Sending Signals You Should Not Ignore
The Vibe Right Now
If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs around Town Centre lately, here is what is actually happening. The market is not crashing, but it is not charging ahead either. It is taking a breather - and depending on whether you own a house or a condo, that breather feels very different.
Houses: Steady, But the Gap Is Real
On the house side, we saw 1 sale come through at an average of $816,000, which is essentially flat from last month. That puts us ahead of Eagle Ridge ($800,000) and comfortably above Hockaday-Nestor ($697,667), so we are holding our own in the neighbourhood comparison game.
But here is the number that matters most: the HonestDoor predicted market value for houses sits at $1,301,352. That is a big jump above the sale price average, and it is worth paying attention to. That predicted value is also dipping slightly from the 3-month moving average of $1,313,256, and property values have shifted -1.12% recently. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Town Centre houses rank 7 out of 13 for growth in Coquitlam - right in the middle of the pack. Not a leader, not a laggard.
- Average sale price: $816,000
- Price per square foot: $682
- HonestDoor predicted value: $1,301,352
- 3-month moving average: $1,313,256
- Recent value change: -1.12%
- Growth rank: 7 out of 13 in Coquitlam
- Price rank: 10 out of 12 (among the more affordable options in Coquitlam)
- Estimated rent: $4,980 per month
- Rental yield: 4.32%
Condos: Sales Prices Up, But Volume Dropped Hard
The condo story is a bit of a mixed bag for us. The average sale price jumped 4.3% to $490,400, which sounds great on the surface. But sales volume fell 37.5% - only 5 units traded hands, down from 8 last month. A price bump on thin volume is not the same as a hot market. It just means fewer deals got done, and the ones that did skewed higher.
The HonestDoor predicted value for condos is $610,641, which is noticeably above that $490,400 sale average. That gap is worth a conversation. The predicted value is also trending down from the 3-month moving average of $615,351, and recent value change sits at -1.10%. On the leaderboard, condo growth ranks 13 out of 13 in Coquitlam - dead last. That is the honest truth, and it is exactly why watching your HonestDoor Price matters more than waiting for an annual assessment to tell you where you stand.
- Average sale price: $490,400 (up 4.3% month-over-month)

- 3-month moving average: $615,351

- Estimated rent: $2,960 per month
- Rental yield: 3.62%

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Beats Waiting for the Tax Assessment
Here is the thing about your BC Assessment notice - it is a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it is already six to twelve months out of date. The market does not wait for paperwork.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, pulling in actual sales data, neighbourhood trends, and current market signals. For Town Centre house owners, that means knowing your home is tracking closer to $1,301,352 - not whatever number the government last stamped on your file. For condo owners, it means seeing the $610,641 predicted value against a sale market that is currently trading lower, so you can make a smarter call on timing.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check your assessment was never built to be. It is the number a serious buyer's agent is already looking at when they walk through your door.
The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
If you own a house in Town Centre and are thinking about listing this summer, the data says act with intention. Values are softening slightly, the predicted price is trending down from its 3-month average, and you are sitting in the middle of the Coquitlam growth leaderboard. That is not a panic signal - but it is not a "wait and see" signal either. Sellers who price sharp and move early in a softening market almost always do better than those who hold out for a number that may not come.
If you own a condo, the conversation is more urgent. A growth rank of last place in Coquitlam, combined with a predicted value that is sliding, means the window for a strong sale is narrowing. The 4.3% price bump this month is encouraging, but one month of thin-volume data does not make a trend. If selling is on your radar, this summer is worth taking seriously.
Bottom line: check your HonestDoor Price today, not six months from now. The market is moving, and the assessment notice in your drawer is not keeping up.
