Buying in Port Moody.
Top three questions.
How would you describe Port Moody to a potential buyer?
Port Moody is a charming city with the perfect balance of nature and city life. There are several parks and green spaces, incredible local shops and restaurants (that help keep that small-town feel), yet you’re only a 45 minute SkyTrain ride into Downtown Vancouver. Port Moody truly is the best of all worlds!
What is your overall impression or opinion of the market in Port Moody?
Port Moody is always going to be desirable for buyers as it appeals to so many different types of buyers – young professionals (because of the transit options, local cafes and breweries), young families (tons of recreation options, great schools and amenities for kids) and retirees (smaller city with lots of walking paths and nature). Out of the three cities that make up the Tri-Cities (Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam), Port Moody holds the highest price point on average because it is such a desirable place to call home for so many. The other reason the market is always strong in Port Moody is because it has all types of housing options, from low-rise condos, high-rise towers, townhomes, single-family homes, homes with acreage (in Anmore) and waterfront properties (in Belcarra).
How has the property market in Port Moody changed over recent years?
There are more condo options now for buyers, with more towers, low-rise condos and townhomes being built in Port Moody. There are also several more new single-family homes going in, which gives buyers more options as well.
