Prices from GVR, September 2026 · By Hasan Boz, REALTOR® · Türkçe okuyun

Sitting between Vancouver and the Tri-Cities, Burnaby offers something unusual in Metro Vancouver: real choice at almost every price point, from first condos near SkyTrain to established family neighbourhoods with detached homes. GVR reports Burnaby in three sub-areas — North, South and East — and prices differ meaningfully between them.

What Burnaby is known for

A different lens · Construction know-how

Burnaby has a lot of condo stock from very different eras. Wood-frame low-rise buildings from roughly 1985–2000 were part of BC's well-documented building-envelope problems, so for those buildings I always ask whether the envelope has been remediated, and look closely at the depreciation report. Newer concrete towers raise different questions — mostly about future repair costs and the contingency fund.
