June was an excellent month across all segments with condos and townhomes selling more than 25% of the listings, putting it in a sellers market. Single Family homes lagged a touch with only 21% of the listings selling. In all, it was a strong month.

Kelowna's market continues to perform better than expected in May. The listing inventory is still slightly depressed and sales are climbing. This has pushed ALL segments back into a sellers' market for the first time in a year.

We are now exactly 1 year after the peak of the market in March 2022 and it's the first time we've seen upward movement since. All segments have stepped up from a buyers/balanced market, firmly into balanced market territory, and condos even are dipping their toes into a seller's market.

February Newsletter
The stats from the first month of 2023 are out, and although they are painting a dire picture, the sentiment feels different. The last few weeks have not only felt busier but also seem busier. Many lower-priced properties have pending offers, even backup offers. I was involved in 2 sets of multiple offers in January as well - unexpected.

When we look at 2022 as a whole, it wasn't too bad. Total sales were similar to 2018/2019 and listing inventory average was similar to 2016/2017. Comparing year over year for December, the benchmark price of all property segments is down 3%, not so bad! But comparing the year as a whole, or year over year, only gives us a false sense of comfort and isn't a true representation of the market.
