Port Moody’s property values have tripled since 2010, and despite short-term fluctuations, the city’s mix of transit, amenities, and nature continues to underpin strong long-term demand.
Advice for Buyers, Sellers, and Investors
With more listings and longer days on market, this fall offers room to breathe. If you’ve been waiting for less competition, this could be your moment,especially for condos.
Pricing right is key. Homes are taking longer to sell, but well-presented, accurately priced listings are still moving. Partnering with a local realtor can help position your home competitively.
Rising inventory in the condo sector and moderating prices could create solid entry points for long-term appreciation. Look to central Port Moody neighbourhoods like Suter Brook and Moody Centre for the best fundamentals.
