Active and sold market data from the Association of Interior REALTORS MLS, as of October 18, 2026. Sold figures are totals and medians of residential sales that closed in the last 90 days; medians are shown only with 5 or more sales. Residential only (houses, apartments, townhouses). Months of inventory requires at least 6 closed sales in the window to be meaningful and reads N/A below that.

REAL ESTATE ADVISOR
SCOTT’S MARKET PERSPECTIVE
“ELLISON IS COUNTRY LIVING WITH THE AIRPORT AND CAMPUS JUST MINUTES AWAY.”
Demand in Ellison has cooled: there were 13 sales over the past 90 days against 18 in the same 90 days last year, while new listings eased only slightly over that window, so supply has held up better than buyer activity. Even so, the neighbourhood sits at 5.5 months of inventory, balanced territory and tighter than the 7.8 across Kelowna as a whole. Negotiation has stayed modest, with homes selling at a median of 97.6% of their final asking price over the past 90 days, a touch firmer than the city. Most of those sales landed under $750,000, yet most of what is listed now is priced above that band. Figures from Association of Interior REALTORS MLS data for the 90 days to October 16, 2026.
Out here it is the land that sets the price, not the square footage. Acreage, zoning and ALR status, water, the views, and where you can actually build can make two similar-looking properties worth very different numbers, so pricing really has to start with the parcel.
