Kelowna's 2024 real estate market is influenced by several factors, particularly higher interest rates, which has reduced buyer activity. The ban on short-term rentals has caused some investors and vacation homeowners to sell, while others transition to the long-term tenant model. There’s been a decline in investment purchases overall due to this government legislation paired with unfavorable interest rates.
First-time home buyers have new support programs, including a 30-year insured mortgage for new-build homes and increased Property Transfer Tax (PTT) exemptions. The increased PTT exemption for new-builds is encouraging for buyers looking for the security and warranty that comes with a new-build purchase.
