The January numbers are in, and the Coquitlam market is showing a continued trend of stabilization as we kick off the new year. For buyers and sellers looking to navigate the local landscape, understanding these shifts is key to making an informed move.
The Current Market Snapshot
Metric | Detached Homes | Townhomes (Attached) | Condos (Apartments) |
Benchmark Price | $1,647,800 | $982,500 | $668,800 |
Monthly Change | ↓ 1.4% | ↓ 1.2% | ↓ 0.8% |
Yearly Change (YoY) | ↓ 7.3% | ↓ 5.4% | ↓ 5.9% |
Sales-to-Active Ratio | 6.7% | 11.1% | 10.3% |
What This Means for You
For Sellers: With Sales-to-Active ratios sitting between 6.7% and 11.1%, we are currently in a "Buyer's Market" territory (typically defined as anything below 12%). This means pricing strategy and presentation are more important than ever. To stand out, ensure your home is staged perfectly and marketed across all digital platforms. For Buyers: The downward pressure on prices—especially the 7.3% yearly drop in detached homes—means you have more leverage than you did this time last year. With less competition and more room for negotiation, January is proving to be a strategic time to secure a property in Coquitlam.
Making the Market Work for You: Recent Success 🏠
While the headlines focus on the slowdown, savvy buyers are finding incredible opportunities. I am thrilled to share that I recently secured 5 units for my buyers at very good prices, well below previous peaks.
In a market where the Sales-to-Active ratio for detached homes is just 6.7% and condos are at 10.3%, buyers have the upper hand. By identifying motivated sellers and leveraging current market data, we were able to lock in significant value for these clients before the spring market heat arrives.
