Overview
Understanding the Port Moody real estate market
This page tracks the Port Moody real estate market month-by-month using official statistics from the Greater Vancouver REALTORS®. We pull the latest MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark prices, sales volumes, and inventory levels every month and translate what they mean for buyers and sellers in Port Moody.
At 34.0%, Port Moody's sales-to-active ratio is above the 20% threshold that historically signals a seller's market. Well-priced, well-presented properties tend to sell quickly and at or above asking price. The MLS® HPI benchmark price represents a typical property in the area — it strips out the noise from one-off luxury sales or unusual transactions, giving you a cleaner read on where prices actually sit.

How does Port Moody compare to the rest of the region?
Port Moody is one of the markets tracked within Tri-Cities markets (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody). The price trajectory in Port Moody has broadly followed the regional pattern over the past year, though specific property types and price points often move at different speeds. Detached homes in particular have shown different momentum than the multi-family segment across the region in April 2026.
What is the MLS® Home Price Index (HPI)?
The MLS® Home Price Index is a quality-adjusted measure of home prices developed by the Canadian Real Estate Association. Unlike a simple average or median sale price, the HPI adjusts for changes in the mix of homes sold each month — so a benchmark price reflects what a "typical" home in the area would sell for, not whatever happened to trade hands that month.
The benchmark price is the dollar figure (e.g. $1,936,100 for detached). The HPI index is the underlying number used to track percentage changes over time, with January 2005 set to 100.
How often is this Port Moody market update refreshed?
Monthly. The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® releases stats packages on the first business week of the following month — for example, April 2026 data was released on May 4, 2026. We update this page shortly after each release so the numbers here always reflect the most recent official data.
What's the difference between month-over-month and year-over-year changes?
Month-over-month (MoM) compares the current month to the previous month — for example, April 2026 vs. March 2026. It shows short-term momentum but can be noisy due to seasonality.
Year-over-year (YoY) compares the current month to the same month one year ago — for example, April 2026 vs. April 2025. It strips out seasonality and shows the bigger trend.
For real estate, year-over-year is usually the more meaningful number for understanding price direction, while month-over-month is useful for catching turning points.
Where can I get a personalized Port Moody home valuation?
