Active and sold market data from the Association of Interior REALTORS MLS, as of November 1, 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 October 16, 2026 · monthly · 90-day figures
“BUYERS HERE WANT LAKE ACCESS AND PRIVACY WITHOUT LEAVING KELOWNA BEHIND.”
Demand in Lake Country South West has cooled noticeably. Sales over the past 90 days are down 36.7% from the same 90 days last year, while new listings rose over the same stretch, so supply is building faster than buyers are absorbing it. At 13.9 months of inventory, this pocket sits firmly in buyer territory and well above the 9.0 months for Lake Country as a whole. Even so, homes that sold over the past 90 days fetched a median 97.2% of their final asking price, which tells me well priced homes still trade without deep discounting. Most of that activity sat between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, where buyers have room to compare and negotiate. Figures from Association of Interior REALTORS MLS data for the 90 days to October 16, 2026.
Out here the details do the heavy lifting. Where a home sits, how much of the lake it takes in, the size of the lot, and how close you are to the water or the wine trail can all move the price noticeably from one pocket to the next.
