The New Westminster detached home market has been more selective in 2026, but good homes are still selling.
This spring, James Garbutt and Denny Dumas of the Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Team were involved in several detached home sales across New Westminster, including homes in Glenbrooke North, The Heights, Sapperton, the West End, Queensborough, and Uptown.
The results were not all the same. Some homes sold over asking. Some sold quickly. Others required more time, patience, and negotiation. Together, they offer a clear look at what is happening in the current New Westminster housing market.
Buyers are still active, but they are being more selective. Sellers who prepare well, price properly, and understand their neighbourhood competition are the ones seeing the strongest results.

56 Seventh Avenue was one of the standout New Westminster home sales from spring 2026.
This beautifully renovated Glenbrooke North home sold for $21,000 over the asking price after only 5 days on market. The home offered the kind of features buyers continue to respond to: a high-end renovation, a strong family layout, renovated bathrooms, a beautifully finished kitchen, a private backyard, and a prime location close to schools, Queen’s Park, shopping, and transit.
Glenbrooke North remains one of New Westminster’s most desirable family neighbourhoods, and this sale shows that move-in-ready detached homes in top locations can still attract strong buyer interest, even in a more cautious market.
80 Courtney Crescent, The Heights
James Garbutt and Denny Dumas were the listing agents and represented the sellers.
List Price: $1,899,000
Sale Price: $1,925,000

Lot: 6,379 sq. ft.
80 Courtney Crescent was another strong spring sale for James Garbutt and Denny Dumas, selling $26,000 over the asking price.
This Cape Cod-inspired family home had one of the most charming curb appeals in the neighbourhood and offered 3,743 sq. ft. over three levels. With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a renovated kitchen, a bright southwest-facing rear exposure, city views, a suite, and a location across from F.W. Howay Elementary, this home checked a lot of boxes for family buyers.
The Heights continues to be a strong New Westminster neighbourhood for buyers looking for detached homes with space, school proximity, and long-term family appeal. This sale is a good reminder that larger homes with flexible layouts and strong presentation can still outperform the market.
412 Blair Avenue, Sapperton
James Garbutt and Denny Dumas were the listing agents and represented the sellers.
List Price: $1,499,000
Sale Price: $1,475,000
Days on Market: 8
Neighbourhood: Sapperton
Home: 4 bed, 2 bath, 2,009 sq. ft.
Lot: 60 x 96 ft, 5,775 sq. ft.
412 Blair Avenue sold quickly this spring, with an accepted offer after only 8 days on market.
This Sapperton home offered beautiful Fraser River and mountain views from a quiet street, along with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,009 sq. ft. of living space, hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, two gas fireplaces, central air conditioning, updated electrical and plumbing, and a suite-ready lower level.
Sapperton continues to attract buyers because of its access to SkyTrain, schools, parks, restaurants, shopping, Royal Columbian Hospital, and community amenities. For buyers looking for views, detached space, and transit access, Sapperton remains one of New Westminster’s most practical neighbourhoods.
1418 Hamilton Street, West End
James Garbutt and Denny Dumas were the listing agents and represented the sellers.
List Price: $1,799,000
Sale Price: $1,750,000
Days on Market: 19
Neighbourhood: West End
Home: 4 bed, 2 bath, 2,672 sq. ft.
Lot: 44 x 140.5 ft, 6,182 sq. ft.
1418 Hamilton Street was a beautifully renovated and meticulously maintained family home in New Westminster’s West End.
The home offered 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,672 sq. ft., Fraser River, mountain, and city views, a renovated kitchen with quartz and copper counters, high-end custom cabinetry, a dream primary suite, central air conditioning, a large workshop, a spacious rec room, and potential for a 2-bedroom suite.
This sale shows that even strong homes in desirable neighbourhoods may require some negotiation in today’s market. Buyers are active, but they are careful. Pricing, presentation, and timing all matter.
The West End remains one of New Westminster’s classic residential neighbourhoods, known for tree-lined streets, character homes, views, school access, transit, and proximity to parks.
208 Hume Street, Queensborough
James Garbutt and Denny Dumas were the listing agents and represented the sellers.
List Price: $1,549,000
Sale Price: $1,499,000
Days on Market: 15
Neighbourhood: Queensborough
Home: 5 bed, 6 bath, 2,891 sq. ft.
Lot: 4,611 sq. ft.
208 Hume Street was a practical family home with strong income potential in Queensborough.
Built in 2010, the home offered 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2,891 sq. ft., a legal 2-bedroom suite, in-floor radiant heat, two laundry areas, a fenced yard, a double garage with lane access, and additional crawl space storage.
In today’s market, income potential matters. Homes with legal suites can help buyers offset carrying costs, and that can make a major difference in affordability.
Queensborough continues to offer value for buyers looking for newer detached homes, larger floor plans, suite options, and access to parks, schools, shopping, the community centre, and the Fraser River trail network.
403 Ninth Street, Uptown / Brow of the Hill
James Garbutt and Denny Dumas represented the buyers.
List Price: $1,199,000
Sale Price: $1,135,000
Days on Market: 76
Neighbourhood: Uptown / Brow of the Hill
Home: 3 bed, 1 bath, 1,421 finished sq. ft.
Lot: 4,560 sq. ft.
403 Ninth Street tells a different but equally important story.
James Garbutt and Denny Dumas represented the buyers on this 1911 character home in New Westminster’s Uptown / Brow of the Hill neighbourhood. The home offered original hardwood floors, stained-glass accents, French doors, a southwest-facing corner lot, and an unfinished basement with storage.
After 76 days on market, the home sold below list price. This is a good example of how buyers can find opportunity in a slower market, especially when a home has a more specific buyer profile, fewer bathrooms, older construction, or unfinished space.
For sellers, it is also a reminder that the market is not rewarding every listing equally. Pricing correctly and understanding buyer objections is critical.
What These Spring 2026 New Westminster Sales Tell Us
These six detached home sales show that the New Westminster real estate market is active, but selective.
The strongest results came from homes that were well-presented, renovated, family-friendly, and located in high-demand neighbourhoods. 56 Seventh Avenue in Glenbrooke North and 80 Courtney Crescent in The Heights both sold over asking, showing that buyers are still willing to compete for the right property.
At the same time, not every home sells over list price. Several of these sales required negotiation, and one took 76 days on market. That is the reality of the current market.
A few themes stand out:
- Renovated family homes in strong New Westminster neighbourhoods are still performing well.
- Homes with suite potential or legal suites remain important for affordability.
- Buyers are more cautious and selective than they were in the peak market.
- Pricing correctly from the start is extremely important.
- Presentation, photography, marketing, and local strategy still matter.
- Neighbourhood-specific knowledge makes a difference.

Best Performing Sale Highlights
Two of the strongest results from this group were:
56 Seventh Avenue, Glenbrooke North
Sold for $1,820,000, which was $21,000 over the asking price, after only 5 days on market.
80 Courtney Crescent, The Heights
Sold for $1,925,000, which was $26,000 over the asking price, after 10 days on market.
Both sales show that detached homes in New Westminster can still attract strong interest when they offer the right combination of location, condition, floor plan, and buyer appeal.
Thinking About Selling a House in New Westminster?
If you are thinking about selling a detached home in New Westminster, recent comparable sales matter.
A Glenbrooke North family home will not perform the same way as a Queensborough home with a suite. A renovated West End view home will attract a different buyer than a character home in Uptown. A house in Sapperton near SkyTrain, schools, and parks will have a different buyer pool than a larger home in The Heights.
That is where local experience matters.
