Is Sperling-Duthie a buyers’ or sellers’ market?

In October 2026, houses had a sales ratio of 17% (a balanced market); condos and townhomes had 17% on only 6 listed, too few to read as a market type. The sales ratio is homes sold divided by homes listed; on the reports’ scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers. One month in one community is a small sample, so look at the monthly table above before you decide.

How many homes sold in Sperling-Duthie from June to October 2026?

14 houses and 1 condo or townhome sold in Sperling-Duthie over those 5 months; detached houses peaked in July with 6 sold and condos and townhomes peaked in October with 1 sold.

Listings of detached houses fell from 31 in June to 24 in October 2026 (−22.6%); condos and townhomes rose from 3 in June to 6 in October 2026 (+100.0%).

Can I buy a vacant lot in Sperling-Duthie?

No known bare-land offering exists — the sub-area is built out. Land trades as a detached house on its fee-simple lot, with Buckingham Heights estate lots at the top end.

How many homes can go on a house lot here?

Under Burnaby's R1 SSMUH District: 3 units on lots up to 280 m², 4 units on larger lots, and 6 units on lots of at least 281 m² within 400 m of a frequent-transit stop; lots with two or more primary units may be stratified.

Which plan governs a large lot's potential — the old community plan or the new OCP?

The Burnaby 2050 OCP (adopted December 9, 2025) governs, and its land use map takes precedence over older neighbourhood community plan maps where they conflict.

What is the current Burnaby zoning bylaw number?

Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815 — adopted June 9, 2026, in effect July 1, 2026. The former 1965 No. 4742 is superseded and is never cited as current.

Which bylaw number covers subdivision servicing in Burnaby?

Confirm subdivision and servicing requirements with the City for the parcel; no number is asserted.

What is the current Burnaby zoning bylaw?

Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815 — adopted June 9, 2026, in effect July 1, 2026.

Does a SkyTrain station actually serve Sperling-Duthie?

Yes. Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station, an elevated Millennium Line station at 2800 Sperling Avenue and Lougheed Highway, stands at the top of Sperling Avenue, and TransLink's station map shows buses 110, 134 and 144 connecting there, the 144 running to Metrotown Station and to Simon Fraser University (SFU). Homes at the Deer Lake end of the sub-area use those buses to reach it rather than walking.

Is French Immersion available at the local elementary school?

Yes. École Sperling Elementary, 2200 Sperling Avenue, is a dual-track school offering Kindergarten to Grade 7 programs in both English and Early French Immersion, and the district hosts its French Immersion parent information evenings at Sperling.

What do the heritage houses on Sperling Avenue mean for a buyer nearby?

They signal a protected streetscape, not just old houses. The City's register places the 1904 Woodward Cottage, the 1941 Moore House and the 1942 and 1943 Moore family houses within the Deer Lake Park Heritage Precinct on lakefront lots, so exterior changes and rebuild plans on that strip carry heritage review on top of normal permits.

What did houses in Sperling-Duthie sell for?

20 houses sold in Sperling-Duthie from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026, at a median price of $1,850,250.

How long do houses take to sell in Sperling-Duthie?

Half sold in 35 days or less, at a median 94.5% of the last list price; 0% went over asking (sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026).

Lots and land in Sperling-Duthie

Fee-simple lots

  • Lot character: almost entirely detached single-family housing, most of it freehold; stock ranges from modest post-war bungalows on the flatter western streets to large custom and estate-style homes in Buckingham Heights on the slope above Deer Lake. Lots on the Buckingham Heights slope are among Burnaby's larger residential lots, many with lake, mountain or city views; the balance of the area has standard Burnaby lot sizes.
  • Heritage fabric on the lots: Sperling Avenue fronting Deer Lake Park lies within the Deer Lake Park Heritage Precinct, where the City's heritage register lists early-1900s houses such as the Woodward House at 5195 Sperling Avenue (built 1912) — heritage review is part of the lot diligence on that frontage, not a separate land category.
  • Confirm servicing for the specific parcel with the City.
  • ALR vs non-ALR: no ALR parcel in Sperling-Duthie is confirmed and no split is stated — ALR status is a per-parcel check on ALC mapping.
  • Hazard note, as documented: the Burnaby Lake Park Association warns that the Sperling Avenue/Sprott Street park frontage has no established sidewalks and the road will flood after heavy rainfall (community association source).

Bare-land strata

  • Not in this sub-area: The Duthie Avenue street name matches this sub-area's name; the filings and the geography do not.

Streets, schools and getting around Sperling-Duthie

  • Sperling-Duthie is a central-Burnaby residential area around Sperling Avenue and Duthie Avenue, west and north of Deer Lake, crossed by Canada Way; Buckingham Heights — the prestige pocket on the slope east of Deer Lake — sits within/adjacent to this sub-area, and nearby areas are Deer Lake, Burnaby Lake, Cascade Heights, Brentwood Park, and Metrotown to the south. The board sub-area name is "Sperling-Duthie" (as used in the SnapStats GVR report for Burnaby).
  • Deer Lake Park borders the sub-area: its trails connect the lake with the Burnaby Art Gallery, the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby Village Museum and Hart House restaurant; the park's main address is 6450 Deer Lake Avenue with access from Sperling Avenue. The section of boardwalk by the Deer Lake boat launch is closed from September 21, 2026 for a full replacement, with completion scheduled by winter 2027 and a signed detour via Sperling Avenue and Deer Lake Drive.
  • Burnaby City Hall is at 4949 Canada Way, just west of the sub-area; Burnaby Hospital (3935 Kincaid Street, Fraser Health) is just south of Canada Way, in a multi-phase redevelopment including a new six-storey pavilion with 83 beds in Phase 1 (2021–2026).
  • Transit: Sperling Avenue's north end is served by Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station, an elevated Millennium Line station at Sperling Avenue and Lougheed Highway, with bus routes 110, 134 and 144 connecting there — the 144 running between Metrotown Station and SFU. Burnaby Lake Regional Park wraps the lake immediately north of Lougheed Highway, walkable from the station.
  • Schools (SD41, Ministry-listed names only): École Sperling Elementary (2200 Sperling Avenue) is the in-area elementary school on Sperling Avenue itself; Burnaby Central Secondary (6011 Deer Lake Parkway) is the secondary school located in the Deer Lake/Central Burnaby area. Catchment is address-based: the one settled SD41 locator run documented.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Sperling-Duthie

  • OCP — Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan: adopted December 9, 2025; it replaces the 1998 OCP Bylaw, and its land use map takes precedence over older neighbourhood community plan maps where they conflict. Review the 2050 OCP land use map before assuming density or subdivision potential on a large lot.
  • Zoning — Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815: adopted June 9, 2026 and in effect July 1, 2026 (never the former 1965 No. 4742). Burnaby consolidated its former single- and two-family districts into one R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) District in June 2024 — R1 lots may hold 3 units on lots up to 280 m², 4 units on larger lots, and 6 units on lots of at least 281 m² within 400 m of a frequent-transit stop, and lots with two or more primary units may be stratified.
  • Heritage precinct: properties on Sperling Avenue fronting Deer Lake Park sit in the Deer Lake Park Heritage Precinct with heritage-register listings — check the register and precinct requirements before planning renovations or a rebuild on that frontage.
  • If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.

Good to know about Sperling-Duthie

  • Every "Sperling-Duthie" search result needs an address check against the Deer Lake / Canada Way geography before it is priced as this area.
  • The lake-end and station-end of the same sub-area sell on different things: homes toward Sperling Avenue's north end can honestly be sold on walking access to Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station and the Burnaby Lake trail network, while Deer Lake-end homes sell on the park, the heritage precinct and lot size — the transit claim does not stretch to the lake end.
  • The boardwalk a buyer walks at a showing is mid-replacement: the Deer Lake boat-launch boardwalk section closed September 21, 2026 for a full replacement, completing by winter 2027, with the signed detour running via Sperling Avenue and Deer Lake Drive — a dated, temporary condition, not a permanent loss of the trail network.
  • Buckingham Heights lot size is the sub-area's real land premium: the slope lots above Deer Lake are among Burnaby's larger residential lots, many with lake, mountain or city views. The premium comes from lot size and view, not from any subdivision potential, and the new R1 stratification permission is what is starting to matter on the biggest lots.

Duplexes and half duplexes in Sperling-Duthie

What a duplex looks like in Sperling-Duthie

  • The housing profile is almost entirely detached single-family housing — modest post-war bungalows on the flatter western streets and large custom and estate-style homes in Buckingham Heights on the slope above Deer Lake, most of it freehold, with heritage-register properties clustering near Deer Lake Park along Sperling Avenue. Attached listings, when they appear, are one-off low-rise units on the Canada Way and Lougheed edges. There are effectively no named condo or townhome complexes inside the sub-area to anchor strata comparisons — and, by the same absence, no named duplex complex either.

Local rules that affect duplexes in Sperling-Duthie

  • Sperling Avenue fronting Deer Lake Park lies within the Deer Lake Park Heritage Precinct, where the City's heritage register lists early-1900s houses such as the Woodward House at 5195 Sperling Avenue (built 1912) — check the City heritage register and the precinct before planning renovations or a rebuild on a listed property, as listed properties carry heritage review.
  • Flood note: The Burnaby Lake Park Association warns the Sperling Avenue / Sprott Street park frontage has no established sidewalks and the road will flood after heavy rainfall.

Sperling-Duthie: streets and boundaries

  • Sperling-Duthie is a central-Burnaby residential area around Sperling Avenue and Duthie Avenue, west and north of Deer Lake and crossed by Canada Way.
  • Sperling Avenue is the area's spine: it runs from Lougheed Highway and the SkyTrain station at its north end down to Deer Lake Park at its south end.
  • Buckingham Heights, the slope east of Deer Lake, sits within and beside this sub-area's south-east side, and Burnaby Lake Regional Park lies immediately north of Lougheed Highway.
  • Burnaby City Hall is at 4949 Canada Way, just west of the sub-area at Deer Lake.

Sperling-Duthie: the housing stock

  • The stock is almost entirely detached houses, running from post-war bungalows on the flatter western streets to large custom homes in Buckingham Heights on the slope above Deer Lake.
  • The Sperling Avenue lakefront holds Burnaby's documented early housing: the City's heritage register lists the Woodward Cottage at 5141 Sperling Avenue, built 1904 and described as the oldest house in the Deer Lake neighbourhood.
  • Beside it stand three more register houses from one family group: the Moore House at 5145 Sperling Avenue (built 1941), the Rosalie (Moore) Barrett Residence at 5155 Sperling Avenue (built 1942) and the Montague and Marcia Moore Residence at 5165 Sperling Avenue (built 1943, Tudor Revival).
  • There are effectively no named condo or townhome complexes inside the sub-area; attached homes, when they appear, are one-off low-rise units on the Canada Way and Lougheed Highway edges.

Sperling-Duthie: rules that affect buyers

  • Sperling Avenue's lakefront lots sit inside the Deer Lake Park Heritage Precinct, so a renovation or rebuild there starts with the City's heritage register, not just the zoning bylaw.
  • The register houses on Sperling Avenue were formally recognized on the Community Heritage Register by Council resolution dated May 26, 2003, and several are now owned by the City of Burnaby as part of the precinct.
  • The precinct is described in the City's heritage records as Burnaby's most significant collection of historic sites, which is the context a buyer should expect for design review on the lakefront strip.

Sperling-Duthie: local details a buyer would not know

  • Charles Rummel Centre, 3630 Lozells Avenue, is the small City community centre just east of the sub-area, with a main hall seating up to 100, a playground and a spray park.
  • You can walk into Burnaby Lake Regional Park directly from Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station, and the park's Sprott Street sports-field entrance on Sperling Avenue is served by buses 110 and 144.
  • The Woodward House at 5195 Sperling Avenue, built 1912 with British Arts and Crafts influences, was built for Maud and Harriet Woodward, one of Burnaby's first teachers among them, and is on the Community Heritage Register.
  • The Burnaby Lake line fostered this area's growth: the City's heritage record notes the British Columbia Electric Railway's Burnaby Lake interurban line opened June 12, 1911 and fostered Deer Lake's development as a residential neighbourhood.
  • There is no enclosed mall or town centre inside the sub-area; Brentwood to the north-west and Metrotown to the south are its designated shopping town centres.

Sperling-Duthie: development and new projects

  • 1030 Sperling Avenue, Doxa Development Limited: market strata and non-market rental homes at the sub-area's north end.

Sperling-Duthie: costs and taxes

  • The angle specific to this area is suites: the City's 2026 utility table prices a rented suite in a single-family dwelling at $326.17 for water and $403.00 for sewer use, which is the carrying-cost line a Sperling-Duthie buyer counting suite income should use.

Sperling-Duthie: getting around

  • Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station serves the area's north end with Millennium Line trains and bus routes 110, 134 and 144 at its bays.
  • Route 144 links the station to Metrotown Station in one direction and to SFU in the other, passing the Deer Lake Parkway and Canada Way corridor on the way.
  • Route 110 runs from the station area via Sperling Avenue, Kensington and Deer Lake Parkway toward Metrotown Station, covering the sub-area's north–south spine by bus.
  • Canada Way crosses the sub-area east–west and is its main road link to Burnaby City Hall at 4949 Canada Way and to the Burnaby Hospital lands.

Sperling-Duthie: risks and due diligence

  • Check the heritage register before pricing a renovation on the Sperling Avenue lakefront: register properties inside the Deer Lake Park Heritage Precinct carry heritage review, and the register entry for each address is the lookup.
  • Check the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) parcel map before assuming density on a large lot: the OCP was adopted December 9, 2025, replaces the 1998 OCP, and its land use map takes precedence over older community plan maps where they conflict.
