SCOTT’S MARKET PERSPECTIVE

“IN KELOWNA NORTH, YOU ARE BUYING A LIFESTYLE MEASURED IN BLOCKS, NOT KILOMETRES.”

KELOWNA NORTH currently has 212 active residential listings. The median asking price is $649,000, with a median of 76 days on market. 46 new listings entered the market in the past 30 days. 12 current listings have already had a price reduction, 6% of active inventory.

Down here the details drive the price. How walkable the address really is, whether you catch a lake or city view, the age and quality of the building, and parking all move value more than floor area does, so that is the conversation worth having.
