With over 25 years in real estate and a keen eye for the numbers, I’ve been watching how our B.C. market continues to evolve. In August, home sales across British Columbia dropped by 4.7% compared to last year, landing at 5,653 transactions, and the average price hovered just under $925,000. While the market is showing signs of a gradual recovery, activity is still running below the long-term average. Regionally, it’s interesting to note that Okanagan sales saw a notable 22% decline, whereas South Peace River experienced a nearly 35% increase. As someone who lives and works in the Shuswap, I’m always tracking these trends to help clients make informed decisions—especially given how every local area can move differently. Staying informed is key to navigating both opportunities and challenges in our unique market.
