In Vancouver, condos generally have a lower entry price than detached homes. Q2 2026 Royal LePage data reported a Vancouver condo median of $748,100 versus $2,128,000 for detached homes.

Which areas should budget-conscious buyers compare?

Buyers often compare Vancouver East with nearby municipalities such as Burnaby, New Westminster and Surrey. The right choice depends on budget, commute, transit and preferred property type.

Are the prices on this website live listings?
