BC Market Shift: Inventory Surges & Sales Drop – What’s Next?
Learn the importance of proper pricing in today's housing market. In the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, properties are taking 114 days to sell at an average 2.6% discount. With 15 months of inventory, we are now firmly in a buyer's market.
Prices remain resilient with the benchmark price of a single-family home at $1,018,000, townhomes at $725,200, and condos at $505,600.
We discuss fixed and variable rates, move-up transactions, and when to list your home to get the best possible sale price.

Spring 2024 Kelowna Real Estate Market
Put it on your reminder app: in this episode, AJ calls the Kelowna real estate market bottom and a trend reversal starting in Q2.
Watch to see why inventory oversupply has led to hot deals below peak-pricing, and why the market is shifting. For sellers: why selling this spring is your best bet, and how to maximize your home sale.
In Q1, sales are sluggish and down about 12% YoY from 2023, which was already a down year. Inventory is growing with 2,400 active listings, but with 9 months of inventory in Q1 compared to 14 months in Q4, 2023, the market is trending towards balance, supporting the call for trend reversal.
Prices are trending up with the avg. single-family home over $1M, townhome over $750k, and condo over $500k.
The Vantage Report - Q1 2024
January Kelowna Real Estate Report & 2024 Forecast
A new beginning?
After the slowest year we've seen for 7 or 8 years with 4,000 total sales in 2023 compared to 8,000 in the hot market of 2021, there's a renewed sense of optimism in the air. With inventory up to ~2,300 listings from 1,500 at the same time last year, we have 10 months of active supply vs last year at 8 months of supply, putting buyers firmly in the driver's seat. Like last year, it takes about 42 days to sell a home with an average discount of 3%.
For buyers, AJ predicts January, February, and March for the best prices in the foreseeable future. For sellers, AJ thinks March & April will be great for sellers to sell into renewed optimism, but you'll need to be razor sharp with prices and terms. AJ expects we'll be back into a balanced market in May or June.

October Market Trends & Insights
Kelowna's October real estate market report: a 32% sales decline from July-August to September-October. Luxury Kelowna homes over 3M saw a whopping 50% sales decline. Vancouver's doing the limbo with sales below the 20-year average.
Kelowna single-family housing inventory in buyers' market territory at 10 months. Condo supply is balanced at 6 months. With an average days on market of 54 days, and a 3.1 % discount rate, we're seeing a significant slowdown caused by higher interest rates in the wake of skyrocketing inflation.
From July-Aug to Sept-Oct, single-family home sales are down 5.8% ; townhomes 3%; condos 10%. Owning a condo now costs double compared to renting. With an avg. transaction of $800K, you need a $150K income (top 5% earners). Unpack the techniques to thrive as a buyer, downsizer, or seller.

We've Reached Another Inflection Point in Q3...
Get ready to witness a significant shift in housing market conditions. Sales have taken a hit, dropping from 1300 to 1000 due to a recent hike in mortgage interest rates.
We've seen a 18.16% increase in available home inventory from Q2 to Q3, creating a balanced situation in residential listings where neither buyers nor sellers have the upper hand. Discover how transactions are playing out with an average 47 days on market, a 3% discount from list, and the Bank of Canada holding the key rate steady at 5%.
Families are packing up from Kelowna and heading to cities like Calgary, Cochrane, and even New Brunswick. Find out why this trend is gaining traction.

Will Rates Affect the Kelowna Real Estate Market? Q2 Recap
Even with significant rate hikes, Q2 witnessed an astounding 80% increase in residential unit sales compared to Q1. The market is buzzing with activity, with over $1 billion in transaction volume.
This remarkable surge is reshaping the game. With 4.8 months of inventory, the market finds itself in a delicate equilibrium, creating a balanced climate for buyers and sellers. The condo market saw a steady 4% price hike, townhomes rose by 3%, and the typical single-family home commanded an impressive 8% increase in the benchmark price.
As the Bank of Canada increased interest rates, a sense of apprehension has crept into the market. We delve into the potential implications of this move and the ripple effects across Okanagan Lake and the Central Okanagan.

What Changed in the First Quarter of 2021?
A lot has changed in our market since last year. Things were pretty much balanced in the first quarter of 2020, but now, sellers hold almost all of the power.
Inventory of homes for sale is incredibly low, price levels are incredibly high, and many homeowners are jumping into the market in order to capitalize on their sales. However, new policies coming in the near future may cause the hot market to cool off slightly. To learn more about what’s changed in our market and what’s coming on the horizon, watch our Kelowna real estate market forecast 2021.

What Can We Expect for the Future of Our Market?
I’ve been pouring over the stats for our market, and there are some really exciting numbers I’d like to share with you concerning how October and November of this year compared to the same months in 2019.
We’ve had the busiest fall on record this year, with over 700 sales per month and significant price growth. That’s roughly double the pace we saw at the same time last year. As a consequence, listings are very low; we’re down to only 1,400 active listings, which, compared to the typical 2,000, is a very tight inventory for prospective buyers.

The Vantage Report - December 2020
What Do the Latest Numbers Say About Our Market?
A lot has changed over the last 60 days as far as our real estate market is concerned. Demand picked back up as inventory has continued to diminish. This is creating an ideal market for sellers, but a more competitive one for potential buyers.
After a decade of shrinking square footage averages, buyers have completely reversed the trend and are now buying homes with a higher average square footage and a higher median price. To get all the latest news and numbers on the Kelowna and West Kelowna real estate market, watch this short video.

Look no further!
Words will do injustice to describe how wonderfully Fil from Vantage West has helped me and my wife to buy our first home. Fil did not try to sell us or impose on us instead he mentored us and educated us about real estate market since we are first time home buyers. He went the extra mile and was patient throughout the process to know us personally to help us decide what we wanted. He represented us very well and helped us in every step. Whether anyone is looking to buy first home or any kind of home, we will definitely recommend Vantage West and Fil. In this day and age, we need honest, diligent, ethical and genuine people to work with, Fil is one of them. Thank you kindly Fil.

Trustworthy, honest, dependable
We got in touch with Vantage West a whole year before we were ready to start looking for our home. Daniel was very respectful of our timeline and checked back in every 3-4 months as I had indicated. We never felt rushed or hurried or even pressured to up our timeline. When the time came to get serious and find our home we were placed in contact with Kim Taylor. Kim has exceeded all of our expectations from start to finish. From the very first meeting at our house to go over documentation, wants, needs, criteria and understand us, as indivuals, we knew we would be well taken care of. She worked tirelessly and effectively to bring it to the table and she delivered on all levels. Communication and timeliness were very important to us and she nailed it. Along with her sense of humor and knowledge of real estate, market evaluations, negotiating, execution of our purchase and handling of the entire deal, she truly won us over. She took a great deal of care and pride to make sure we got the best deal and navigated us confidentaly to purchasing our home. We will absolutely use Kim again in any future real estate transaction. Trustworthy, honest, dependable, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. What more can you ask for? Thank you so much!!
