What New Westminster Homes Are Selling For Right Now.
Data current: July 2026 · Updated monthly
New Westminster's market in July 2026 tells three different stories depending on what you own. Condos are doing the heavy lifting — 61 of the city's 82 sales — townhomes are holding their value better than any other segment, and detached homes are carrying the steepest price correction in the city. Where your home sits in that picture changes everything about how it should be priced and marketed.

Condos are the engine of New Westminster's market. Sixty-one of the city's 82 July sales were apartments, concentrated in Uptown (17 sales), Downtown (11), Queensborough (10), and Fraserview (10). At a $582,400 benchmark and a 15.7% sales-to-active ratio, this is the most balanced segment in the city — but with 388 units competing for buyers and an average of 47 days to sell, presentation and pricing are what separate the units that move from the ones that linger.
Townhomes are holding their value better than anything else in New Westminster — down just 4.5% year-over-year, less than half the decline seen in the detached segment. Queensborough is the centre of gravity here, accounting for half of July's townhouse sales at a $938,000 benchmark that's off only 3.0% from last year. Inventory is tight at 65 active listings, and well-presented townhomes sold in an average of 31 days.
Detached homes are where the market is asking the most of sellers. The benchmark is $1,384,300, down 13.3% year-over-year, with active listings up 9.3% from last July while sales slipped to 13. A 7.9% sales-to-active ratio is firm buyer's-market territory. Prices vary widely by pocket — Queens Park still commands $1,720,800 while Sapperton sits at $1,223,400 — so a city-wide average tells you very little about your own street.
Across all three segments, homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago — detached 39 days versus 29, condos 47 versus 38, townhomes 31 versus 26. That's not a reason to wait. It's a reason to launch properly: correct price, professional presentation, and real marketing from day one, because the first two weeks on market are where the outcome is decided.

Data current: June 2026 · Updated monthly
Burnaby's real estate market in June 2026 varies meaningfully by zone. Burnaby South anchors the city's premium detached segment and led the city in detached and townhouse sales, Burnaby North is the busiest condo market, and Burnaby East offers some of the most accessible entry points in the city — each telling its own version of the current market story.

Burnaby North is the busiest condo zone — 84 sales in June, driven largely by Brentwood Park and the SkyTrain corridor. Townhouses here are holding relatively well, down 4.0% year-over-year, making this one of the steadier townhouse segments across the three Burnaby zones right now.
Burnaby South anchors the city's premium detached market at $1,965,400 — the highest benchmark in Burnaby, though it eased just below the $2M mark this month. Metrotown and Forest Glen dominate condo activity, with 82 sales in June, and South also led the city in detached and townhouse sales. The townhouse segment continues to see long days on market (62 days), signalling that buyers in this range are being selective and patient.
Burnaby East is the smallest market of the three zones by volume, but offers the most accessible detached entry point in the city at $1,771,000. Low sales counts in the detached and townhouse segments (just 4 and 5 in June) reflect limited inventory rather than absent demand — and the condo market here is showing the fastest turnover of the three zones at 32 days on market.

From heritage character homes on the Brow of the Hill to Quayside riverfront condos to family townhouses in Queensborough — New Westminster's neighbourhoods each attract a distinct buyer and demand a distinct story.
Brow of the Hill
New Westminster's most prestigious heritage neighbourhood. Victorian and Craftsman homes on quiet streets with sweeping views of the Fraser River and beyond. Buyers here are drawn by character, history, and the irreplaceable feel of an established neighbourhood. Heritage designation can be a selling feature — if marketed correctly.
Avg. Detached: $1.2M–$1.65M rangeQuayside
New Westminster's most desirable condo community. The Fraser River boardwalk, Quayside Marina, and stunning water views make this a uniquely lifestyle-driven purchase. Buyers here are often downsizers or move-up condo buyers from other Metro Vancouver markets discovering the value New West offers compared to Vancouver or Burnaby waterfront.
Avg. Condo: $700K–$1.1M rangeDowntown New Westminster
Three SkyTrain stations — New Westminster, Columbia, and Sapperton — make this one of the best-connected areas in the region. Condos here appeal strongly to commuters, first-time buyers, and investors. The revitalized Front Street and Columbia Street retail corridor is adding lifestyle energy that supports ongoing price strength.
Avg. Condo: $550K–$780K rangeQueensborough
A tight-knit island community with newer townhomes and detached homes at relatively accessible price points for the region. Queensborough attracts families who want space and a community feel without the Coquitlam or Langley commute. The ongoing development of the area is bringing in new amenities and infrastructure.
Avg. Townhouse: $780K–$1.05M rangeWest End & Glenbrooke North
Solid, established neighbourhoods with good school catchments and a mix of older detached homes and newer infill. These areas attract buyers seeking detached home ownership at a more accessible price point than Burnaby or Coquitlam equivalents — and the value comparison alone is a strong selling argument.
Avg. Detached: $1.0M–$1.35M rangeSapperton
Anchored by Royal Columbian Hospital, Sapperton attracts healthcare workers, professionals, and investors. The planned redevelopment of the RCH campus is one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the Tri-Cities region — and it's already driving buyer interest in the surrounding residential streets.
Avg. Detached: $1.1M–$1.45M rangeNew West Sellers Leave Money on the Table When They Don't Know Their Market.
New Westminster is one of Metro Vancouver's most genuinely undervalued cities — not because the homes aren't worth more, but because too many sellers and their agents don't know how to position them against comparable Burnaby or Coquitlam properties. The wrong comparison kills value. The right one creates it.
A Brow of the Hill character home is not competing against Burnaby South Slope — it's competing against nothing else in Metro Vancouver. A Quayside riverfront condo offers a lifestyle that simply isn't available at the same price point anywhere in the region. That story only gets told when you have an agent who understands it deeply enough to market it aggressively.
Juliana has sold in New Westminster across all of its distinct micro-markets — from Queensborough townhouses to Downtown condos to Sapperton detached. She brings Burnaby-level marketing intensity to a market that has historically been under-served by it.
"Buyers coming from Vancouver or Burnaby are often genuinely surprised by what they can get in New Westminster — which means sellers here have a motivated, ready-to-act buyer pool that most agents aren't actively targeting. We do."
Cross-Market Buyer Targeting
Juliana's digital campaigns specifically target buyers searching in Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Vancouver who are discovering New Westminster as a better-value alternative. That's a buyer pool most New West listings never reach.
Heritage Home Positioning
Character homes in the Brow of the Hill and surrounding areas have specific features — original millwork, high ceilings, unique architecture — that need to be photographed and described by someone who understands what heritage buyers are actually looking for.
SkyTrain Access as a Sales Tool
New Westminster has three SkyTrain stations. For buyers who commute to Vancouver or Burnaby, this is a primary decision factor. Juliana ensures every listing communicates transit access clearly and prominently — not buried in the remarks.
Royal Columbian Hospital Expansion Story
The RCH redevelopment is one of the largest healthcare infrastructure projects in BC history. For Sapperton and surrounding area sellers, this is an active value driver that needs to be part of the listing narrative — now, before it's fully priced in.
Questions About Selling in New Westminster.
In many cases, yes — particularly for detached homes and condos in comparable locations. New Westminster often offers better transit access, more walkable neighbourhoods, and stronger community character at a lower per-square-foot price than equivalent Burnaby properties. For sellers, this means there's an active buyer pool arriving from higher-priced markets who see genuine value — and a savvy agent knows how to reach them.
Heritage designation or heritage character can work both ways. For the right buyer — one who specifically seeks character, craftsmanship, and history — it's a premium feature. For a buyer planning renovations or redevelopment, it can be a constraint. The key is marketing your home to the buyer for whom heritage is an asset, not a limitation. Juliana knows how to identify and reach that buyer pool specifically.
The RCH redevelopment is a multi-billion dollar investment that will bring thousands of healthcare workers, students, and support businesses to the area. Sapperton properties within walking distance of the hospital are already seeing increased interest from medical professionals relocating to New Westminster. This is a neighbourhood in transition — and sellers who list now are ahead of the full price appreciation that typically follows major institutional investment.
Queensborough is attracting growing buyer interest — particularly families who want newer construction and outdoor space at a price point below comparable Coquitlam or Surrey townhomes. The island setting is either a feature or a concern depending on the buyer, so marketing needs to lead with the lifestyle upside: quiet streets, tight community, newer builds, and access to the Queensborough Landing shopping area. Juliana positions Queensborough listings for the buyers who will genuinely love it there.
Older buildings in New Westminster can absolutely sell well — particularly Quayside riverfront buildings, which have an established reputation and a loyal buyer base. What matters most is strata health: a well-funded contingency reserve, up-to-date depreciation report, and clean meeting minutes go a long way toward buyer confidence. Juliana walks you through strata document preparation before you list so there are no surprises during subject removal.
