BackHOMS Neighbourhood Intelligence

Compare two BC neighbourhoods.

Pick any two Metro Vancouver neighbourhoods and see median price, days on market, walkability, and schools side-by-side. The ✓ marks the stronger value on each metric.

Brentwood
Burnaby · A

Brentwood

A SkyTrain-anchored Burnaby growth node where rapid densification, presale supply, and rental demand drive condo-market pricing.

New Westminster
Tri-Cities / New West · B

New Westminster

A SkyTrain-served entry point with heritage downtown character, active strata redevelopment, and stronger yield potential than many Vancouver alternatives.

✓ = better on that metric for most buyers. Price / Walk Score = cost per walkability point — a lower figure means more walkability per dollar. DOM and Walk Score colour coding: green = strong, amber = moderate, red = weaker. All figures are HOMS Intelligence Q1 2026 estimates. Not an appraisal. Verify with current MLS data and a licensed REALTOR®.

What each metric means

  • Median price — HOMS Q1 2026 estimate. Lower wins for affordability.
  • Days on market — Shorter = faster-moving market, stronger demand.
  • Walk Score — 0–100 walkability. Higher = better daily access without a car.
  • Price / Walk Score pt — Cost per unit of walkability. Useful when trading price vs. convenience.
  • Schools — Catchment schools near the neighbourhood centre.

What this doesn't replace

  • A current MLS® search for active listings and sold comps.
  • School catchment verification (boundaries shift).
  • Strata document review — see the Strata Analyzer.
  • A consult with Moji to discuss fit for your budget and goals.
The problem

Buyers and developers struggle to compare neighbourhoods objectively — the data is fragmented and anecdotes fill the gaps.
