Burke Mountain continues to be one of Coquitlam’s most sought-after communities, offering spacious homes, natural beauty, and a growing mix of amenities. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, understanding this neighbourhood’s real estate trends can give you a clear edge.
Here’s a detailed look at how the market performed in September 2025.
Detached Homes
Activity remained steady in September, though we’re seeing price softening and longer time on market.
- Sales: 7
- Active Listings: 66
- Benchmark Price: $1,992,300
- Year-over-Year Change: –2.6%
- Average Days on Market: 30
Detached homes remain in buyer’s market territory, giving buyers more room to negotiate. Sellers will need to position their listings competitively and focus on presentation.
Townhomes
This area continues to be Burke Mountain’s most active segment, with strong buyer interest and price stability.
- Sales: 15
- Active Listings: 72
- Benchmark Price: $1,173,300
- Year-over-Year Change: –0.1%
- Average Days on Market: 27
Townhomes are benefiting from their balance of affordability, space, and modern design. While prices dipped slightly, the market remains balanced and resilient.
Condos in Burke Mountain
There was no recorded condo activity in Burke Mountain this month, reflecting the neighbourhood’s low-density, ground-oriented housing focus.
- Sales: 0
- Active Listings: 0
- Benchmark Price: Not available
- Year-over-Year Change: Not available
- Average Days on Market: Not available
Buyers interested in condos may need to explore nearby neighbourhoods like Coquitlam Centre or Westwood Village, where supply is more available.
Sales-to-Active Ratio
The Sales-to-Active Listings Ratio (SAR) shows the relationship between supply and demand:
| Property Type | Sales | Market Type |
|---|---|---|
| Detached Homes | 7 | Buyer’s Market |
| Townhomes | 15 | Balanced Market |
Burke Mountain’s detached segment clearly favours buyers, while townhomes are at the tipping point, leaning toward a seller-friendly zone.
What Does This Mean for Buyers, Sellers and Investors?
If the ratio is high, that means more homes are selling quickly. Buyers should be ready to act fast and may have to compete with others. It’s a good idea to get mortgage pre-approval and work with an agent who can move quickly on new listings.
If the ratio is lower, you might have more choice and room to negotiate.
A higher ratio often means strong demand. Homes tend to sell faster and closer to the asking price—sometimes even over asking.
If the ratio drops, selling may take longer. Pricing your home right and making it show well becomes more important.
This is a useful indicator of market momentum.
- A higher ratio may signal rising prices, making it a good time to sell or consider short-term gains.
- A lower ratio can mean more buying opportunities, especially in areas with future growth potential.
Watching this ratio over time can help investors decide when to enter or exit the market.
Key Takeaways
- Detached homes are showing price flexibility and slower turnover, good news for buyers.
- Townhomes are holding strong, with sales activity and prices remaining stable.
- No condo inventory or sales reflect Burke Mountain’s low-rise, family-oriented development style.
Final Thoughts
As we head into the fall season, Burke Mountain continues to offer excellent opportunities, especially for buyers looking for space and value in detached homes or turnkey livability in townhomes.
The neighbourhood’s long-term outlook remains strong, with new schools, infrastructure, and retail on the way. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest, now is a great time to review your options and create a plan for the months ahead.
