Over all another great month to almost end off a fantastic year for the Kelowna Real Estate market. The statistics from the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board show we saw a very busy November for real estate sales in 2017 and sales for the year have continued to surpass 2016 sales activity in November.
A few highlights for November 2017 include strong increases in sales for Single Family Homes, Apartments and Townhomes. It was also promising to see that prices were up as high as 18% for townhomes and 21% for apartments over this time last year.
Another interesting factor for the November stats was overall inventory levels. Inventory was down 17% over last year for Townhomes but increased in all other sectors; specific increases were shown in Single Family homes with inventory increasing by 29% over 2016.

If inventory continues to rise for Single Family homes the demand should ease up and allow buyers more time to do their due diligence when looking to buy a home. While Townhomes should see the demand strengthen as inventory has dropped by 17% over 2016 in that sector.
And if that is the case with Townhomes....then we have even better news for you! Nyrose and Associates have several new development communities planned on the 2018 horizon some of which include:
