Which side are you on?
New listings from the week of May 18–24 tell two very different stories. Some price points and property types are seeing deals close quickly. Others are accumulating days on market with no takers. Scroll down to see where your home sits.
Based on new listings May 18–24 and recent sales activity in the Central Okanagan. Directional signals — not market guarantees.
Under $400K and premium $600K+ condos are moving. The $400K–$600K mid-range? Buyers have the advantage right now.
High inventory in the mid-range means buyers have real negotiating power — and listings that aren't priced precisely are sitting. Looking at sales activity from January through May 2026, the mid-range has seen nearly twice as many failures as sales. But at the under $400K and $600K+ end, more recent May transactions have been closing in under three weeks.
Based on condo sales data January–May 2026 compared to new listings week of May 18–24. Individual results vary by building, location and condition.
New listings this week across both neighbourhoods are coming to market between $1.1M and $2.7M. But recent sales history tells a more nuanced story about where buyers are actually transacting.
Both neighbourhoods are seeing more listings fail or sit than sell in recent months — particularly townhomes and upper-bracket detached. The homes that are closing tend to be priced with precision from day one, not adjusted downward after weeks of silence.
If you're thinking about listing in either area, strategy matters more here than almost anywhere else in Kelowna right now.
Based on a small sample of recent activity across both neighbourhoods. Not statistically definitive — treat as directional context only.
Black Mountain, Glenmore, Lake Country, Rutland. Not the headline postcodes — but these are where detached deals have been consistently closing over recent months. If you've been watching and waiting, this is the pattern worth paying attention to.
