Local Residential Real Estate Market Activity Showing Stability and Resilience
KELOWNA, B.C. – May 5th, 2026. Residential real estate activity in April showed great resilience in the Interior in comparison to other BC markets, reports the Association of Interior REALTORS® (the Association).
A total of 1,319 residential unit sales were recorded across the Association region in April, up from March’s 1,154 units, and up 0.2% compared to units sold in April 2025.
New residential listings saw an 8.9% decrease compared to April 2025 with 3,134 new listings recorded last month, yet up from the previous month’s 3,059 new listings. The total number of active listings saw a 5.0% decrease in inventory compared to April 2025 with 8,926 recorded across the Association region. The only percentage increase in active listings across the Association region was recorded in the Kamloops and District region with a total increase of 2.3% compared to April last year.
“With sales closely tracking last year’s activity, the Interior real estate market remains comparatively resilient amid other provincial markets that are experiencing increased volatility,” says Association of Interior REALTORS® President Ryan Mayne, adding that “with healthy inventory levels, balanced market conditions and prices staying fairly steady, it remains important for sellers to price appropriately at the onset so listings don’t go stale.”
n the Okanagan and Shuswap/Revelstoke regions, the benchmark price for single-family homes saw decreases last month in all sub-areas in year-over-year comparisons with the exception of the Shuswap/Revelstoke region that saw a percentage increase of 2.3%, coming in at $725,800. The townhome housing category saw percentage increases in all sub-areas with the exception of the Central Okanagan region that saw a slight decrease of 1.5% compared to the same month the previous year, coming in at $724,000. The benchmark price in the condominium housing category saw decreases in all sub-regions compared to April 2025 with the highest percentage decrease of 2.3% recorded in the Central Okanagan, coming in at $497,500.

MARCH 2026
Local Residential Real Estate Market Activity Picks Up Heading into Spring
KELOWNA, B.C. – April 7th, 2026.
Residential real estate activity in March showed signs of gaining momentum ahead of the spring market, reports the Association of Interior REALTORS® (the Association).
A total of 1,154 residential unit sales were recorded across the Association region in March, up from February’s 838 units, and up 1.3% compared to units sold in March 2025.
New residential listings saw a 4.8% decrease compared to March 2025 with 3,059 new listings recorded last month, yet up from the previous month’s 2,235 new listings. The total number of active listings saw a 3.1% decrease in inventory compared to March 2025 with 8,112 recorded across the Association region. The highest percentage increase in active listings across the Association region was recorded in the Kamloops and District region with a total increase of 4% compared to March last year.
“Although sales are still trailing the 10-year average, recent sales activity is a positive sign as we head into the typically busy spring market. We’re seeing improvement from earlier in the year, even as inventory edges down slightly compared to the same time last year, which is likely a reflection of economic uncertainty continuing to temper some consumer confidence,” says Association of Interior REALTORS® President Kadin Rainville, adding that “in this environment, strategic pricing is essential to capture buyer attention and maximize results.”
In the Okanagan and Shuswap/Revelstoke regions, the benchmark price for single-family homes saw decreases last month in all sub-areas in year-over-year comparisons, with the highest percentage decrease of 7.8% recorded in the South Okanagan, coming in at $709,900. The townhome housing category similarly saw percentage decreases in all sub-areas, with the Shuswap/Revelstoke region seeing the highest percentage decrease of 4.1% compared to the same time the previous year, coming in at $536,800. The benchmark price in the condominium housing category saw decreases in all sub-regions compared to March 2025 with the exception of the South Okanagan that saw an increase of 1%, coming in at $425,800.

JANUARY 2026
Local Residential Real Estate Market Saw Softer Start to the Year
KELOWNA, B.C. – February 5th, 2026. Residential real estate activity in January eased off its unusually strong December pace, reports the Association of Interior REALTORS® (the Association).
A total of 623 residential unit sales were recorded across the Association region in January, down from December’s 788 units, and down 22.3% compared to units sold in January 2025.
New residential listings saw a 9.5% decrease compared to January 2025 with 2,021 new listings recorded last month.

The highest percentage increase in active listings across the Association region was recorded for another consecutive month in the North Okanagan with a total increase of 0.6% compared to January last year.
“January brought a bit of a cooldown in the real estate sector after a very strong December, which aligns with typical seasonal trends, even if the dip was a bit sharper than anticipated,” says Association of Interior REALTORS® President Kadin Rainville, adding that “with prices holding relatively steady and demand still present, the market may be recalibrating rather than retreating. While some are waiting on the sidelines, the level of activity suggests this may be more about timing and economic conditions than a true shift in momentum.”
“The market is still active, just not rushing and we’ll be watching closely to see whether this is a short-term pause or part of a larger pattern,” notes Rainville.
In the Okanagan and Shuswap/Revelstoke regions, the benchmark price for single-family homes saw decreases last month in all sub-regions in year-over-year comparisons with the exception of the Shuswap/Revelstoke region, which saw an increase of 1.9%, coming in at $713,000.
