The Port Moody real estate market opened 2026 with rising inventory and softer year over year pricing across most property types. Detached homes and condos are firmly in buyer’s market territory, while townhomes remain more competitive.
Sales activity slowed in detached properties, condo inventory more than doubled compared to last year, and benchmark prices adjusted modestly across the board. Overall, the market is stabilizing, with opportunities emerging for buyers who are prepared and strategic.
Now let’s break down the numbers by property type.

Sales-to-Active Ratio
| Property Type | Sales-to-Active Ratio | Market Type |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 3.9% | Buyer’s Market |
| Condos | 10.6% | Buyer’s Market |
| Townhomes | 25.0% | Seller’s Market |
This divide shows a very important trend in Port Moody right now. Buyers looking at detached or condos have leverage. Townhome buyers should still expect competition, especially in well priced and well located developments.
Understanding this ratio is key before deciding whether to buy, sell, or invest in early 2026.
Month over Month and Year over Year Trends
Month over Month
- Detached prices slightly down
- Condo prices down
- Townhomes stable
- Inventory remains elevated
January typically starts slower, but this year inventory levels are noticeably higher, especially in the condo segment.
Year over Year
- Detached: -2.6%
- Condos: -5.3%
- Townhomes: -1.1%
Prices are adjusting rather than crashing. This looks more like normalization than a sharp correction.
Neighbourhood Highlights and Long Term Trends
Based on the neighbourhood data:
- Anmore: $3,064,600 benchmark, -2.7% year over year
- Heritage Woods: $2,111,500 benchmark, -1.0%
- Port Moody Centre condos: $697,900, -5.6%
- College Park townhomes: $853,400, -3.1%
Long term charts show that despite recent cooling, benchmark prices across detached, condos, and townhomes remain significantly higher than pre 2020 levels .
Port Moody continues to benefit from SkyTrain access, strong schools, and limited land supply. These fundamentals support long term value.
What This means for you
- You have more negotiating power than in recent years
- Conditions are possible again in many cases
- Condo inventory gives you time to compare buildings
This is a window of opportunity, especially for first time buyers and move up buyers looking at detached homes.
- Pricing is everything
- Overpricing will lead to longer days on market
- Proper staging and marketing matter more in a buyer’s market
Townhome sellers still have leverage, but detached and condo sellers must be strategic.
- Increased condo supply
- Slight price softening
- Stable rental demand in transit oriented areas
This may be an opportunity to secure long term assets below peak 2022 pricing.
