These figures come from MultiLiving's own copy of the MLS® feed, last refreshed on October 8, 2026 at 10:09 AM Pacific. They count active listings only, and our copy holds only new homes built in 2025 or later, so older duplexes and townhouses for sale in Burnaby are left out of every number in this article. All prices are asking prices. The price a buyer pays is set in the negotiation.

Burnaby prices at a glance, October 8, 2026

Burnaby had 130 new duplex, townhome and multiplex homes for sale on October 8, 2026, with a median asking price of $1,648,000. The median is the middle price: half the homes asked more and half asked less. By the type each listing is filed under:

• Listed as detached houses (11 listings): $1,599,900 to $3,098,000, median $1,980,000. Ten of the eleven carry a unit number, which means they share a lot with other new homes.

The four types add up to 130. By price band:

• Edmonds (4 listings): $1,299,000 to $1,898,000, median $1,299,000.

That is 80 half duplexes. The other 3 sit in MLS® sub-areas that none of our neighbourhood pages cover: 2 in Central Burnaby, at $1,399,000 and $1,749,000, and 1 in Deer Lake Place, at $2,290,000. Together they make the Burnaby total of 83.

Read the small groups with care. In Burnaby Heights, two halves of one duplex on Cambridge Street at $2,199,000 each set the median. Forest Glen, Sperling-Duthie and East Burnaby have 11 to 20 listings each, so one home moves their medians less.

All types: 8 listings, $1,420,000 to $2,498,000, median $1,998,000.

Burnaby Heights

All types: 6 listings, $1,477,000 to $2,199,000, median $1,499,000.

Counted once, Burnaby Heights means the Vancouver Heights sub-area: 3 half duplexes ($1,599,000 to $2,199,000) and 3 townhomes on Eton Street ($1,477,000 to $1,499,000). Our Burnaby Heights page also shows Willingdon Heights and Capitol Hill, so it showed 19 listings.

Brentwood and Lougheed

Brentwood had 1 listing, a 3-bedroom townhome at $1,624,900 in a 341-home development on Springer Avenue. Lougheed had 1, a home listed as a detached house on Winlake Crescent at $1,998,000. Our Lougheed page also shows the Burnaby Hospital sub-area, so it showed 2.

Triplex and fourplex homes: price by how many homes share the lot

A home in a three-home building had a median asking price of $1,499,900 on October 8, 2026, and a home in a four-home building had a median of $1,539,900. On the MLS® system, a single home in a triplex or fourplex is filed as a half duplex, a townhouse or, in a few cases, a detached house, so these homes are already inside the type counts above. The listing has a separate field for the number of homes in the development, and 63 of the 130 listings filled it in.

• Two homes (15 listings): $1,898,000 to $2,688,000, median $2,098,000.
• Three homes (8 listings): $968,000 to $2,088,000, median $1,499,900.
• Four homes (24 listings): $1,149,900 to $2,633,000, median $1,539,900.
• Five or six homes (9 listings): $1,098,000 to $1,438,000.
• 27 to 341 homes (6 listings): $555,000 to $1,624,900, in three larger townhome developments.
• One home (1 listing): a half duplex on Paulus Crescent at $2,098,000, whose listing gives the count as 1.

In our view, the number of homes on the lot is the best single clue to price in Burnaby. Halves of a two-home duplex asked at least $1,898,000, and they are larger, from 2,554 to 4,416 square feet. Per square foot they asked less: a median of $696, against $758 on four-home lots. Our Burnaby fourplexes page lists the four-home buildings.

Half duplex prices by number of bedrooms

A 4-bedroom half duplex in Burnaby had a median asking price of $1,575,000 on October 8, 2026, and a 6-bedroom one had a median of $1,948,000. Here is the same group of 83 split by bedrooms:

• 3 bedrooms (7 listings): $1,359,000 to $2,199,000, median $1,420,000.
• 4 bedrooms (18 listings): $1,348,000 to $1,749,000, median $1,575,000.
• 5 bedrooms (16 listings): $1,299,000 to $2,228,000, median $1,599,000.
• 6 bedrooms (21 listings): $1,668,000 to $2,498,000, median $1,948,000.
• 7 bedrooms (14 listings): $1,799,999 to $2,348,000, median $2,188,000.
• 8 bedrooms (7 listings): $1,888,000 to $3,380,000, median $2,080,000.

If your family needs four bedrooms, in our view the 4-bedroom group is the fair starting point, and every home in it asked under $1.75 million.

Townhome prices by Burnaby neighbourhood

Willingdon Heights had the most new townhomes for sale on October 8, 2026, and Edmonds had the lowest median. By neighbourhood:

• Willingdon Heights (7): $1,149,900 to $1,599,000, median $1,579,000.
• Forest Glen (6): $1,299,000 to $1,438,000, median $1,389,000.

• Capitol Hill (2): $1,499,999 and $1,699,999.
• Sperling-Duthie (2): $1,499,900 and $1,539,900.
• Deer Lake (1): $1,648,000.
• Brentwood (1): $1,624,900.
• Central Burnaby, outside our pages (1): $1,298,000.

The six townhomes in developments of 27 or more homes include the cheapest ones, with 1 to 3 bedrooms and 598 to 1,497 square feet. Leave those six out and the other 29 townhomes ran from $728,000 to $1,699,999, with a median of $1,409,000. In our view, those 29 are the ones to compare with a half duplex. Browse them on our Burnaby townhomes page.

How Greater Vancouver REALTORS benchmarks compare

Greater Vancouver REALTORS (GVR) publishes benchmark prices for detached houses, townhouses and apartments. It publishes no benchmark for duplexes or multiplexes, and a note in its own report says its townhouse category excludes duplexes. Its September 2026 statistics package, released October 2, 2026, gave these Burnaby figures:

• Detached, Burnaby East: $1,694,900, down 6.7% in a year.
• Detached, Burnaby North: $1,808,500, down 9.2% in a year.
• Detached, Burnaby South: $1,894,600, down 10.3% in a year.
• Townhouse, Burnaby East: $857,900, down 1.7% in a year.
• Townhouse, Burnaby North: $880,400, down 4.7% in a year.
• Townhouse, Burnaby South: $942,100, down 4.9% in a year.

These are GVR's categories, and they measure something different from this article. A benchmark is GVR's estimate of the sale price of a typical home in that area, of any age, based on past sales. Our figures are the asking prices of new homes for sale on one day. Compare the two with care. Use the benchmarks for the direction of the market: every Burnaby detached and townhouse benchmark above was lower than a year earlier.

The down payment at these prices

At Burnaby's median half duplex asking price of $1,799,000, the minimum down payment is $359,800. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada sets the minimum at 20% of the price for a home of $1.5 million or more. Below $1.5 million it is 5% of the first $500,000 plus 10% of the part above $500,000.

• Lowest half duplex, $1,299,000: minimum $104,900.
• Median townhome, $1,369,900: minimum $111,990.
• Median home in a three-home building, $1,499,900: minimum $124,990.
• Median home in a four-home building, $1,539,900: minimum $307,980.

Note the jump at $1.5 million. A home at $1,499,900 needs $124,990 down, and one at $1,539,900 needs $307,980. These figures are general information as of October 2026, and the rules change. Talk to a licensed mortgage broker before you make an offer.

How we counted, and the checks we ran

Every figure here comes from our MLS® copy, queried on October 8, 2026, after the refresh that finished at 10:09 AM Pacific. We counted listings in the City of Burnaby with an active status. The year built on these listings is 2025 for 13 homes, 2026 for 104, 2027 for 11 and 2028 for 2.

• Median: the middle asking price in the group. When a group has an even number of homes, we show the lower of the two middle prices.
• Neighbourhoods: each listing carries an MLS® sub-area name, and our neighbourhood pages group those sub-areas. Three sub-areas appear on two of our pages: Willingdon Heights (Burnaby Heights and Willingdon Heights), Capitol Hill (Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill) and Burnaby Hospital (Lougheed and Deer Lake). In this article each one is counted once, under Willingdon Heights, Capitol Hill and Deer Lake.
• Sum check: the 12 neighbourhoods hold 124 listings. Three sub-areas that none of our pages cover hold the other 6: Central Burnaby (3), Buckingham Heights (2) and Deer Lake Place (1). 124 plus 6 is 130, the Burnaby total.
• Type check: 83 half duplexes, 35 townhomes, 11 listed as detached houses and 1 row house add up to 130, and the five price bands add up to 130 as well.
• Page check: our live Burnaby duplexes page showed the same 83 listings and the same $1,799,000 median on October 8.
