What Half Duplexes Cost
Prices here are computed from every active newly built half duplex on the market and recalculated on each build, so what you see is the market now rather than a figure written down once.
The short answer
Newly built half duplexes are concentrated in Vancouver and Burnaby, on established residential streets, which is why they price above townhouses in this region. The figures below are measured from active listings and update on every site build.

Why the number is higher than people expect
The comparison most buyers make is against a townhouse, and they expect the half duplex to be cheaper. It is not, and the reason is land rather than building.
Half duplexes replace houses on established residential streets. Townhouse complexes go on assembled sites where the land cost divides across many more homes. Same construction, very different ground underneath.
Where they actually are
Vancouver's east side carries the largest concentration, with Renfrew, Fraser Street, Knight, Grandview-Woodland, and Main all dominated by this product. Burnaby follows, and its wider lots produce noticeably larger homes.
Richmond has almost none. If a half duplex is specifically what you want, that narrows the geography considerably, and it is worth knowing before you spend months looking in the wrong city.
How to compare properly
Compare inside a neighbourhood, not across the region. A half duplex in Kitsilano and one in Mission are the same product on completely different land, and a regional median tells you almost nothing useful about either.
Price per square foot is the tool for this, because it strips out the size difference that list price hides.

Common questions
How much does a half duplex cost in Vancouver?
The measured median across all active newly built half duplexes is in the data block on this page and updates on every site build. Vancouver specifically runs well above the regional figure, and the east side runs well below the west side.
Are half duplexes cheaper than townhouses?
Not in this market. They are built on more expensive land, which more than offsets any saving from the simpler structure. The price hub has the measured comparison city by city.
How current are these prices?
They are recalculated from active MLS listings every time the site is rebuilt, and the measurement date is shown on the stat block. They describe what is being asked now, not what has sold.
