How Much Does a House Cost in Coquitlam?

If you’re wondering, “How much does a house cost in Coquitlam?”, the answer isn’t as simple as one number.

Coquitlam is a large and diverse community, and prices can vary significantly depending on which neighbourhood you’re looking in, the age and condition of the property, the size of the home and lot, and whether you’re looking for a condo, townhouse or detached house.

That’s one of the reasons I always encourage buyers to look beyond a citywide average.

What Does a Home Cost in Coquitlam Right Now?

Based on the latest available Greater Vancouver REALTORS® MLS® Home Price Index data for August 2026, the benchmark prices in Coquitlam are approximately:

Type of Home	Coquitlam Benchmark Price
Condo / Apartment	$646,100
Townhouse	$987,900
Detached Home	$1,599,100

These are benchmark prices, not guarantees of what a particular property will sell for. The actual price of a home can be significantly different depending on its neighbourhood, size, condition, age, lot, views, renovations and other characteristics.

Coquitlam Is a Big Area

One of the things I tell buyers is that Coquitlam isn’t one single real estate market.

There are established neighbourhoods with mature trees and larger lots, newer communities with modern townhomes and condos, hillside properties with beautiful views, and neighbourhoods that offer different levels of access to transit, schools, shopping, parks and recreation.

For example, what you can purchase for your budget in Burke Mountain may look very different from what you can purchase in Central Coquitlam, Coquitlam West, Westwood Plateau or another part of the city.

That’s why simply searching “average house price in Coquitlam” doesn’t tell the whole story.

What Kind of Home Are You Looking For?

The first question I ask buyers is not necessarily, “What’s your budget?”

I want to understand:

What type of home are you looking for?

Are you looking for your first condo?

Do you need a townhouse because you want more space for your family?

Are you looking for a detached home with a yard?

Are you willing to renovate?

Do you want to be close to SkyTrain?

Are schools and parks a priority?

Would you rather have a newer home or a larger lot in an established neighbourhood?

Once we understand those priorities, we can start looking at which areas of Coquitlam make sense for you.

Condos in Coquitlam

For buyers who want an entry point into the Coquitlam market, condos and apartments can provide an opportunity to live in the community without the price of a detached home.

The current Coquitlam apartment benchmark is approximately $646,100.

But even within the condo market, prices can vary substantially based on the building, location, age, amenities, size and proximity to transit.

Townhouses in Coquitlam

Townhouses can be a great option for buyers who want more living space than a condo but aren’t ready for the price of a detached home.

The current Coquitlam townhouse benchmark is approximately $987,900.

For families, townhomes can offer additional bedrooms, outdoor space and a more traditional residential setting while still providing access to many of Coquitlam’s amenities.

Detached Homes in Coquitlam

Detached homes are a very different segment of the market.

The current benchmark price for a detached home in Coquitlam is approximately $1,599,100.However, this number can be misleading if you are trying to determine what your budget will buy.

A detached home in one part of Coquitlam may be very different from a detached home in another neighbourhood. Lot size, views, renovations, age, schools, location and redevelopment potential can all have a significant impact on value.

So How Much Do You Really Need?

That depends on what you want your life in Coquitlam to look like.

A condo buyer and a buyer looking for a detached family home may have completely different budgets and priorities, and both can find opportunities in Coquitlam.
