The local housing market remained steady throughout June, giving buyers more choice while well-priced homes continued to sell. Inventory remains healthy across all property types, creating balanced conditions compared to the highly competitive markets of the past few years.

Tri-Cities (Coquitlam • Port Coquitlam • Port Moody)

The Tri-Cities continued to see solid activity in June with 59 single-family home sales and an average sale price of $1.83 million. Townhomes averaged $979,236, while apartments and condos averaged $658,057. Homes took an average of 34 days to sell, and sellers achieved approximately 96% of their asking price. With 789 detached homes, 914 condos, and 295 townhomes currently on the market, buyers continue to benefit from increased selection.

Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows also experienced a balanced market in June. Detached homes averaged $1.63 million, townhomes averaged $751,089, and apartments/condos averaged $508,008. Homes spent an average of 41 days on the market, with sellers receiving about 97% of their list price.

If selling your home has been on your mind, now is the time to start preparing.

May and June are typically two of the strongest months to be on the market, with more buyers actively searching and families looking to move before summer.

The key?

👉 Preparation in April = Stronger results in May

The homes that stand out today are the ones that are clean, well-prepared, and priced strategically from day one.

🛠️ Your April “Get Ready to Sell” Game Plan

Here’s how to position your home for success:

1. Declutter & Simplify

• Remove excess furniture and personal items
• Create open, functional spaces
• Think “model home” feel

2. Deep Clean Everything

• Windows, baseboards, kitchens, bathrooms
• Carpets + floors
• First impressions matter more than ever

3. Tackle Small Repairs

• Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, chipped paint
• Replace burnt-out bulbs
• Buyers notice the little things

4. Boost Curb Appeal

• Add simple planters for a welcoming touch

5. Pre-List Prep
