Based on REBGV MLS data, the median price in Harbour Chines is approximately $1,350,000 with an average 15 days on market. The neighbourhood has approximately 12 active listings — a small sample that makes the median directional rather than precise. Harbour Chines sits in the mid-range of Coquitlam's detached market, above Maillardville and Austin Heights but below Burke Mountain. Renovation level and lot specifics drive significant price variation within the neighbourhood.
Based on available REBGV MLS data, the median price in Harbour Chines is approximately $1,350,000, with an average days on market of 15. These figures reflect a neighbourhood with approximately 12 active listings — a small inventory that makes the median figure directional rather than statistically precise. In a neighbourhood this size, a single high-value or low-value sale can move the median meaningfully, so the $1,350,000 figure is best understood as a reference point, not a guarantee of what any specific home will sell for.
For context, Harbour Chines sits in the mid-range of Coquitlam’s detached market — below larger developments like Burke Mountain ($1,378,000 median based on 159 listings) but consistent with other established, large-lot Coquitlam neighbourhoods. The combination of lot size, park adjacency to Mundy Park, and the neighbourhood’s 1960s–70s housing stock creates a wide price range within the area itself. Original-condition homes and fully renovated properties on equivalent lots can be separated by $300,000–$500,000 or more, which means an accurate valuation requires a comparable market analysis at the property level, not a neighbourhood average.
Harbour Chines is a 1960s and 1970s neighbourhood with large lots and single-detached homes that have seen wildly different renovation histories. Some properties remain largely original — functional but dated kitchens and bathrooms, older mechanical systems, original windows — and sell at prices that reflect the cost of future updates. Others have been fully renovated, sometimes multiple times over decades, with current finishes, new systems, and sometimes additions or secondary suites. Those properties command a significant premium over original-condition equivalents.
Lot size also varies within the neighbourhood, and backing onto Mundy Park — one of Coquitlam’s largest urban parks — adds a premium for specific properties. Two homes on the same street with different lot depths, orientations, or park exposure can have meaningfully different market values. This is why the neighbourhood median gives you a starting frame but not an answer for any specific property.
Harbour Chines sits above the median in Maillardville ($1,000,000) and Austin Heights ($1,220,000), and below Burke Mountain ($1,378,000). It is broadly similar to Ranch Park ($1,280,000). That positioning makes sense: Harbour Chines offers the lot sizes and park access that buyers typically associate with higher-priced Coquitlam addresses, but without the new construction premium or the SkyTrain-proximity premium that characterises some other neighbourhoods.
For buyers comparing Harbour Chines to Ranch Park or Austin Heights, the differentiating factor is typically Mundy Park adjacency, lot configuration, and the availability of specific property types. All three are established, large-lot, family-oriented Coquitlam neighbourhoods in a similar price band — the right choice depends on the specific property, not just the neighbourhood name.
The current average days on market for Harbour Chines is approximately 15 days — faster than the Coquitlam market average and consistent with well-priced detached homes in established neighbourhoods with limited supply. With approximately 12 active listings in the neighbourhood at any given time, serious buyers are competing for a small pool of inventory. Properties priced accurately to current market conditions move quickly; properties priced above market tend to sit and ultimately sell for less than a correctly-priced listing would have achieved.
For sellers in Harbour Chines, the 15-day average reflects the demand that exists when a home is positioned correctly. For buyers, it means that properties worth seeing in Harbour Chines require a quick decision — hesitation in a 12-listing inventory environment means the home you want is frequently under contract before a second showing is possible. Having Jordan’s current comparables in hand before you start viewing is the practical way to be ready to move.
