KELOWNA REAL ESTATE MARKET STATS AUGUST 2018 NYROSE AND ASSOCIATES

The Kelowna Real Estate Market is Cooling

Just like the weather, you could say the housing market has started to cool off in Kelowna and the Okanagan, but for most real estate experts that's just another way of saying it's returned to some degree of normalcy.

We are continuing to see a moderation in the Central Okanagan Real Estate market with increased listings and fewer sales.  The balanced market we have been speaking of for quite some time is here.

What we are seeing though, despite all of this, is that sale prices have remained very stable across all the segments.  In fact, the median price of townhomes increased 15% in August over August 2017 and condos increased 5%, while single family homes remained the same.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 2018:

What does this mean for the market?

• More selection for buyers
• Listings need to be priced correctly
• Overall, homes can take longer to sell than 2017

Based on these fundamentals, we do expect to see a moderation in Kelowna real estate prices sometime in the future. We are also awaiting the news regarding the speculation tax due sometime this month, so stay tuned.
