If you have been waiting for the Port Moody market to give you a clear signal, here is the problem: Port Moody has not been behaving like one market. Over the first half of 2026, one neighbourhood's townhouses rose 9 percent while another's fell 10 percent, in the same city, in the same six months.
We pulled every Tri-Cities MLS sale from January 2025 through June 2026 and broke Port Moody down by neighbourhood and home type. What came back is a market that is far more local than any regional headline can capture.
One city, six different markets
One city, six different markets
The spread from top to bottom is nearly 20 percentage points. A Heritage Woods townhouse owner and a College Park townhouse owner have had completely opposite years, and both of them read the same regional headlines.
The number that matters to you is your neighbourhood and your home type. The regional average is a blend of both halves of that chart, and it describes almost nobody.
What your money actually buys
Price per square foot strips out the effect of unit size and lets you compare neighbourhoods honestly. Here is where every Tri-Cities condo market sat over the past twelve months.

Port Moody Centre is the second most expensive condo market in the Tri-Cities, behind Coquitlam West. That premium buys Rocky Point, the Shoreline Trail, the brewery row and a SkyTrain station. Whether that is worth roughly 12 percent more per square foot than North Coquitlam is a personal question, but it is a much more useful question than asking whether prices are up or down.
The ladder got easier at the bottom and harder at the top
If you already own in Port Moody and have been waiting for a better moment to move up, the gap between rungs matters more than the price of any single rung.
Median sold price by home type, first half 2025 vs. first half 2026
Condos fell about 8 percent and townhouses about 9 percent, but detached stayed flat. That does two opposite things at once. The step from a condo to a townhouse shrank by roughly $30,000, so that move is cheaper to make today than it was a year ago. The step from a townhouse to a detached home grew by roughly $91,000, so that move got more expensive while people waited.
Waiting is not neutral. It has been quietly working in favour of condo owners moving up, and against townhouse owners moving up.
Port Moody is running cooler than the region
The sales to active listings ratio is the measure Greater Vancouver REALTORS uses to judge whether a market favours buyers or sellers. Below 12 percent tends to put downward pressure on prices. Above 20 percent tends to push them up.
Sales-to-active-listings ratio, June 2026
Every Tri-Cities municipality is sitting at or just above the 12 percent line, below the regional figure of 14.6 percent. For a buyer, that is the whole point: there is more room to negotiate here than the Metro Vancouver headline suggests. For a seller, it means pricing is doing more of the work than it did a year ago.
Wondering where your specific home sits on that first chart?
We can pull the sales history for your building or your street and show you the actual comparable sales, not a regional average. No obligation, no pressure.
