New Westminster Real Estate 2026: Prices by Type and SkyTrain Access

New Westminster has 641 homes for sale at a median asking price of $699,000, and five SkyTrain stations inside its boundaries. That combination makes it the cheapest well-connected city in the middle of Metro Vancouver: a condo here has a median asking price of $559,950 against $699,000 in Burnaby and $809,000 in Vancouver, with the same Expo Line running through it. Homes are also moving faster than the regional average at 53 days. Here is what the city costs by property type and by neighbourhood, and what to check before buying.

Prices by Property Type

New Westminster is the oldest city in British Columbia, and its housing stock reflects that: heritage houses on the hill, mid-century walk-ups, and a large stock of newer towers along the river and around the stations.

• All types: 641 active listings, median $699,000, $652 per square foot, 53 days on market.
• Detached houses: 167 listings, median $1,599,000, $645 per square foot, 55 days on market.
• Townhouses: 76 listings, median $916,500, $647 per square foot, 54.5 days on market.
• Condos: 398 listings, median $559,950, $666 per square foot, 48 days on market.

Condos make up nearly two thirds of the listings and are the fastest-moving segment at 48 days. Townhouse supply is genuinely thin at 76 listings, which is worth knowing if that is the format you want. Relative to the rest of BC, this is a condo market first and a house market second.

Five Stations on the Expo Line

The transit position is the city's structural advantage. Five Expo Line stations sit inside New Westminster: 22nd Street, New Westminster, Columbia, Sapperton and Braid. Columbia is where the two branches of the Expo Line separate, so it is a genuine interchange rather than a stop.

In practice that means most of the city is within a reasonable walk or short bus ride of rapid transit, which is rare outside Vancouver and Burnaby. It also means condo buyers here are paying Fraser Valley prices for Metro Vancouver connectivity, one of the better trades available in BC right now.

The Neighbourhoods

The city is small but the areas differ sharply in age, price and feel.

• Downtown and Quay: the highest condo supply, riverfront boardwalk, closest to Columbia and New Westminster stations. The entry point for most first-time buyers in the city.
