Kelowna Real Estate Pros

December was a crazy month for sales with Move up Buyers leading the pack! Move up Buyers made up over 23% of Buyers in December pushing the leader in November “First Time Buyers” to third place. The good news was local Buyers were confident in our market which resulted in over 68% of the Buyers for December, who said December is slow month? Our consistent Alberta Buyer is still active and pursuing Kelowna real estate, even with all the rumours of Albertans buying south of the boarder. We are seeing a good start to 2012 and January remains strong. Our 2011 fall marke....

Darcy Nyrose talks shop with Managing Broker, Susan Tough.  Jul 2011 I have been remiss in not uploading this video sooner -  done this summer, it is an interview that I did with Susan Tough, my outstanding Managing Broker at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty here in Kelowna! I am super passionate about my work.  I love the real estate business, living in Kelowna and I am grateful to have such a great team behind me.  Check it out! ....

Every year, Coldwell Banker® acknowledges their top producers through awards and distinctions based on a number of factors; sales volume, gross commissions, number of units sold, etc.   Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty has been recognized as a Chairman’s Circle office which ranks them in the top 1% of the 105 year old Coldwell Banker® global network once again.  That’s pretty amazing – a testament to the hard work of many of the great Realtors® at Horizon Realty, and fantastic leadership under our Managing Broker, Susan Tough. In 2010, Darcy and his tea....

Jennifer serves up a little gratitude for a weekend off. Ahh… the sweet life. Jennifer checks out the real estate scene (and gets in some riding) in Revelstoke, BC A few weeks ago, I seized a rare opportunity in the life of a REALTOR® – a weekend off – and took a last-minute road trip/adventure with one of my favorite travel partners, little sis Hayley, to beautiful Revelstoke, BC. While I wouldn’t call myself an avid out-door winter sports enthusiast by any stretch of the imagination, I am always up for trying something different, going s....

A flurry of new listings – like this ideal family home in Crawford Estate in the Upper Mission – made for a busy February! Is this what ‘Normal’ feels like? I have been in Kelowna now for 2.5 years and I really can’t say that I have experienced a ‘normal’ market here yet.   Its really been a series of slumps and rebounds, but it feels like we really are moving toward a steady, normalized market.  According to the February 2011 OMREB Report released today (detailing sales activity in the region), the stats also seem to be....
