What Burnaby Homes Are Selling For Right Now.
Data current: August 2026 · Updated monthly
Burnaby's August 2026 market is showing a two-speed story: North and South townhouse benchmarks both edged up month-over-month, while detached homes across all three zones continue to see deeper year-over-year corrections. Condo volume in North and South remains the market's engine — sellers who price accurately are still finding results.

Burnaby North remains the city's most active zone — 70 condo sales in August anchored by Brentwood Park and Sullivan Heights, with the townhouse benchmark edging up slightly month-over-month to $888,200. Detached homes averaged 85 days on market this month, reflecting buyers taking a measured approach at this price point. That's the market signal sellers need to factor into their strategy from the outset.
Burnaby South holds the city's highest detached benchmark at $1,887,800 and drives the most condo volume with 75 sales — led by Metrotown and Highgate. The South townhouse benchmark also rose month-over-month to $933,600, a positive signal in an otherwise softening environment. Well-priced, well-presented product is still moving in this zone.
Burnaby East is the smallest market by volume but saw a meaningful detached rebound — 10 sales at just 27 days on market. That pace suggests East Burnaby detached homes are finding buyers quickly when positioned correctly. The condo and townhouse segments remain quieter, reflecting limited inventory in this zone.

North Burnaby, South Burnaby, Metrotown, and Brentwood all attract different buyers — and demand different strategies. Local intelligence is everything.
South Slope
Burnaby's most desirable detached neighbourhood. Sweeping views of the Fraser River and beyond, large lots, and proximity to Deer Lake Park drive premium prices. Buyers here are typically upgraders from within Burnaby or relocating from Vancouver's Westside.
Avg. Detached: $1.8M–$2.6M rangeBrentwood
Transformed by The Amazing Brentwood development, this area now attracts a younger professional buyer base. Condos and townhouses absorb quickly — especially those within walking distance of Brentwood Town Centre SkyTrain. Strong investor appeal too.
Avg. Condo: $700K–$950K rangeMetrotown
The densest, most transit-accessible part of Burnaby. Condos here benefit from incredible walkability scores, SkyTrain access, and proximity to Metropolis. Buyers range from first-time purchasers to investors. Marketing needs to lead with the lifestyle, not just the square footage.
Avg. Condo: $650K–$880K rangeBurnaby Heights (North Burnaby)
Character homes, walkable high street on Hastings, and a strong community identity attract young families and buyers seeking a neighbourhood feel. Older homes here often present renovation upside that savvy buyers are actively seeking.
Avg. Detached: $1.4M–$1.9M rangeBurnaby Mountain / SFU
A unique community with a strong university-town character. Townhomes and condos here appeal to faculty, professionals, and buyers who value the elevated setting and trail access. The UniverCity development continues to add new inventory and activate the area.
Avg. Townhouse: $950K–$1.3M rangeEdmonds & East Burnaby
One of Burnaby's most affordable detached markets — and one of the most active for buyers priced out of South Slope or North Burnaby. Investors are also active here given the proximity to New Westminster and ongoing densification along the Edmonds corridor.
Avg. Detached: $1.3M–$1.65M rangeBurnaby Is Where RE/MAX Heights Calls Home.

Hyper-Local Comparable Analysis
Burnaby pricing varies street by street in some neighbourhoods. Your evaluation uses Burnaby-specific sold data — not Metro Vancouver averages — so your list price is accurate from day one.
Brentwood & Metrotown Condo Expertise
The condo market in central Burnaby moves differently than detached. Juliana understands strata bylaws, depreciation reports, and the specific features — views, floor level, parking — that drive buyer decisions in these buildings.
View & Lot Premium Positioning
South Slope and North Burnaby detached homes with views or oversized lots command measurable premiums — but only when marketed correctly. Juliana ensures those features are front and centre in every listing.
Investor & Developer Buyer Access
Burnaby has significant land assembly and development activity. If your property has redevelopment potential, that needs to be communicated through the right channels — not just MLS®. Juliana knows who those buyers are.
Questions About Selling in Burnaby.
Demand varies significantly by building, area, and price point. Brentwood and Metrotown condos near SkyTrain continue to attract strong buyer interest, particularly from first-time buyers and investors. Pricing correctly for your specific building and floor plan is critical — a unit on floor 3 and floor 23 in the same building can sell very differently. Your evaluation will reflect exactly what's moving in your building right now.
Not necessarily. Older homes in established Burnaby neighbourhoods often sit on larger lots, and those lots are what buyers — including developers — are actually purchasing. Land value can be the dominant factor in your home's price, particularly in areas with active rezoning. We price and position your home for the buyer most likely to see the full value of what you're selling.
Burnaby has some of the most active land assembly activity in Metro Vancouver, particularly along transit corridors and in areas designated for higher-density development under Burnaby's Official Community Plan. If your property is in one of these zones, you may have significant additional value that a standard MLS® listing won't capture. This is a conversation worth having before you list anywhere.
Strata sales involve additional documentation — Form B information certificates, depreciation reports, strata meeting minutes, and bylaws. Buyers will review all of this during their subject period. Being prepared with clean, current strata documents speeds up the process and avoids subject-removal delays. Juliana walks you through everything you'll need before you list.
The Amazing Brentwood has elevated the entire neighbourhood profile — new retail, improved streetscape, and increased foot traffic all contribute positively. For existing condo sellers, this is a story to tell buyers: you're not just selling a unit, you're selling into a neighbourhood that continues to improve. That positioning matters and it's part of every Brentwood listing strategy.
