Burnaby Lake by the numbers
Every Burnaby Lake sale on the MLS® from November 9, 2025 to November 9, 2026, closed or firm and waiting to complete. That's 38 homes. The figures are medians, the middle sale, so one big outlier can't skew them.

The first two weeks matter most
95.5%
of the original asking price, for the 10 homes that sold within 14 days
92.2%
of the original asking price, for the 24 homes that took longer than 30 days
On a $1.7 million house, that gap is roughly $56,000. Pricing it right on day one usually beats chasing the market down. Check your Burnaby Lake home's price
