The 2021 census put the median home at $560,000, with an average of $961,455. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. The median sale in 2023 was $1,100,000, across 10,140 buyers. Nobody publishes sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Collingwood alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Vancouver.

69% of Collingwood lives in apartments, where British Columbia’s towns have 12%
At the 2021 census, Collingwood had 7,920 homes with someone living in them. Half or more were standing by 2000. A neighbourhood’s counts are summed from small census areas, so its parts can fall a little short of the whole.
