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, so the average below is built from the sales themselves. Each area is below as the board reports it, as of October 2026.
Average home price in Burnaby
$974,289
2,581 homes sold in Burnaby from November 2025 to October 2026, a full year so no slow month can swing it, averaging 42 days on market, every board sub-region added together.
Average home price in Burnaby North
| Property type | Average sale price | Homes sold | Average days on market | Median sale price, October 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All homes | $953,438 | 1,275 | 41 | $728,000 |
| Detached house | $2,064,523 | 233 | 46 | $1,800,000 |
| Townhouse | $893,561 | 139 | 31 | 10 sold that month |
| Apartment / condo | $675,962 | 903 | 43 | $627,500 |
The average is every sale price over the period divided by the number of sales, weighted month by month. The median is the middle sale of the latest month alone, and it is left out wherever fewer than twelve homes sold that month, because one sale would decide it; the count of homes sold is shown instead.

Burnaby North home prices by property type
Benchmark price for October 2026, with how it moved over the month and over the year, and the supply and demand behind it.
| Property type | Benchmark price | Over the month | Over the year | Sales | Active listings | Months of inventory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached house | $1,795,200 | -0.7% | -7.1% | 25 | 202 | 10.4balanced, 12.4% sold |
| Townhouse | $873,000 | -0.8% | -5.3% | 10 | 102 | 8.8buyers’ market, 9.8% sold |
| Apartment / condo | $660,400 | -0.3% | -5.8% | 79 | 542 | 7.2balanced, 14.6% sold |
A benchmark is the board’s modelled typical home of that type, not an average of what sold, so a month with few sales still has one. Sales and active listings are counts for October 2026. Months of inventory is active listings divided by average monthly sales over the past 12 months, so it will not equal this month’s active listings divided by this month’s sales. The reading under it comes from the month’s sales as a share of active listings, the boards’ own convention (under 12% a buyers’ market, over 20% a sellers’ market), with the 12-month pace standing in when a month has fewer than ten sales.

How to read these numbers
The Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark is the 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 is active listings divided by average monthly sales over the past 12 months. Under 3 months is a strong sellers’ market, 3 to 5 is balanced and tilting toward sellers, 5 to 8 is balanced, and 8 or more is a buyers’ market. 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.
