What’s happened in the Langley, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge real estate markets?
These suburban markets near Vancouver saw rapid price appreciation in early 2022 as demand surged. In March 2022 the average home price in Langley was roughly $1.12 million, Pitt Meadows about $1.14 million, and Port Moody around $1.26 million. As interest rates climbed later in the year, prices cooled—Pitt Meadows’ average, for example, fell to approximately $853,400 by December, a drop of roughly 25% from March.
Prices rose across property types early in 2022, but higher borrowing costs shifted buyer preference toward more affordable options such as townhouses and condominium apartments. Local eXp Realty agent Geoff Pershick (whose firm is affiliated with Zoocasa) notes that affordability and limited supply are ongoing challenges impacting these cities.

What’s next for real estate in Langley, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge?
Heading into 2023, affordability remains a significant issue while demand continues to outstrip supply. A slow recovery in prices began in early 2023: Pitt Meadows saw about a 3% month-over-month increase from February to March, and Port Moody rose about 1% over the same period. Sales activity also picked up, with apartment sales in Port Moody more than doubling in March compared with February.
With population growth ongoing and housing inventory still constrained, these markets are likely to face a period of modest price gains rather than rapid appreciation. High interest rates could temper sales volumes, resulting in a relatively flat year for transactions even as asking prices drift upward.
