Harbour Chines houses against Coquitlam as a whole

Harbour Chines houses sold for a $1,668,000 median across 15 sales, $68,000 above the $1,600,000 median for all 470 Coquitlam houses. Among the 20 Coquitlam sub-areas with five or more house sales it sits between Hockaday at $1,689,000 (9 sales) and Coquitlam West at $1,650,000 (37 sales). Harbour Place, the other Coquitlam sub-area with Harbour in its name, had 7 house sales at a $2,000,000 median, with 10,701 square feet of median lot against 8,856 in Harbour Chines.

These are older houses on slightly larger-than-average lots. The median build year is 1962 against 1986 for Coquitlam, so the typical sale is a house 24 years older than the city's. The median lot is 8,856 square feet, 23% larger than Coquitlam's 7,209, and the price per square foot of house, $659 against $538, is 22% higher. Together that suggests a good share of the price is the land and location rather than the building. The typical house had 4 bedrooms and the $1,668,000 median implies roughly 2,530 square feet (a rough figure; one median divided by another is only approximate).

The market was slower than the city's. Houses took 33 days at the median against 24 for Coquitlam, and only 1 of the other 11 Coquitlam sub-areas with ten or more house sales was slower. They sold at 95.6% of the last list price (96.2% for Coquitlam), but 13% went over list against 9% across the city. The middle half spanned $1,504,000 to $1,912,500, a band of $408,500, narrower than Coquitlam's $482,250. Only one quarter (February to April, 6 sales, $1,589,000) reached five sales.
