October wrapped up with a mixed bag of activity across Burke Mountain and the surrounding Tri-Cities. Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing, or investing, staying on top of these local trends can help you time your move with confidence. Here’s a look at how detached homes, condos, and townhomes performed last month in Coquitlam, plus a focused spotlight on Burke Mountain.
Detached Homes
- Sales: 51
- Active Listings: 523

- Benchmark Price: $1,040,800

Townhomes remain the most resilient segment, with rising demand and stable prices compared to last year.
Condos

Sales-to-Active Ratio (October 2025)
| Property Type | Sales-to-Active Ratio | Market Type |
|---|---|---|
| Detached Homes | 9.8% | Buyer’s Market |
| Townhomes | 18.5% | Balanced Market (Near Seller’s) |
| Condos | 16.5% | Balanced Market |
The sales-to-active ratio measures demand relative to supply. A ratio below 12% indicates a buyer’s market, 12–20% is balanced, and above 20% signals a seller’s market.
- Detached homes are firmly in buyer territory, offering more negotiation power.
- Townhomes are approaching a seller’s market, with healthy demand and tighter inventory.
- Condos remain balanced, though higher listings offer buyers more choices.
