Active and sold market data from the Association of Interior REALTORS MLS, as of November 7, 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.

SCOTT’S MARKET PERSPECTIVE
Updated November 6, 2026 · monthly · 90-day figures
“THIS IS LAND-FIRST BUYING: ACREAGE, PRIVACY, AND THE MOUNTAINS AT THE DOOR.”
Joe Rich is a small market, and the past 90 days produced only 7 sales, too few for a meaningful median. Still, that is up from 5 in the same 90 days last year, while fewer new listings came on over the past 90 days than a year earlier, so demand is edging up against a thinner flow of supply. At 5.1 months of inventory, the area sits in balanced territory and noticeably tighter than Kelowna as a whole at 7.8. Sales spread from roughly $550,000 to $2,100,000, which tells me there is no single price band setting the tone, and with a sample this thin, negotiation comes down to the individual property rather than any neighbourhood trend. Figures from Association of Interior REALTORS MLS data for the 90 days to November 6, 2026.
Out here the land drives the price far more than the house does. Acreage, zoning and ALR status, water and services, access, and where you can build can separate two parcels that look alike on paper, so pricing has to start with the land itself.
