Coquitlam is one of the Tri-Cities, with Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, east of Burnaby. All three belong to Greater Vancouver REALTORS (GVR), and each is a separate area in the board’s MLS® Home Price Index, so Coquitlam’s benchmarks below cover Coquitlam alone. They come from GVR’s September 2026 statistics, released in October 2026, alongside the board’s count of Coquitlam sales and new listings by home type. No average sale price is published for the city in that release. The Vancouver housing market report shows every GVR area, and the market overview covers how benchmark prices are built.
