Burnaby, BC — Home Prices
Greater Vancouver REALTORS® publishes Burnaby as 3 separate areas — Burnaby North, Burnaby South, Burnaby East — and no single benchmark for the city. Each is below as the board reports it, as of August 2026. Averaging those benchmarks would produce a number nobody publishes, which is why the average price below is built from the sales themselves instead.

What homes actually sold for, September 2025 to August 2026. A full year of sales rather than one month, so a slow month cannot swing the number.

How to read these numbers
The Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark is the industry-standard measure of typical home value in a defined market, mix-adjusted to control for the property types selling that month. Unlike a median, it compares like to like — a benchmark detached home this month against the same benchmark home last month — which is what makes month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons meaningful.
Months of inventory divides active listings by recent monthly sales. Four months or less typically reads as sellers’ territory, four to six balanced, six to eight buyers gaining leverage, and over eight buyers’ territory. Both metrics are aggregate; specific property types and price bands can read differently.
Benchmarks are aggregate figures — a specific property may transact above or below depending on lot, condition, age and the active buyer pool. Use the benchmark as the trend line, not the listing price. Source: Greater Vancouver REALTORS® monthly board release. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
