Dulcie was terrific to work with when we were looking for a new home in Kelowna. It was a crazy time in the home buying business but we found the perfect home and Dulcie helped us with every little detail so that we felt very confident throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind as they go through the normally stressful process of buying a new home.

Residential real estate across the region from Revelstoke to Eastgate Manning Park and into the South Peace River region finished off the year with record-high sales, reports the Association of Interior REALTORS®.

Residential sales for the entire Association region for December 2021 saw a downtick of 25% over December 2020, clocking in at 654 units sold while still surpassing the previous recorded historical high.

“Even with a typical seasonal slowdown, sales across the region surpassed 2016’s record high,” says the Association of Interior REALTORS® President Kim Heizmann, adding that “the lack of supply continues to be a challenge for buyers as inventory lags behind demand.”

The supply of active residential listings saw a drop of 40% across the Association region compared to the 2,894 active listings during December 2020, with new listings also showing a 24% decrease over December 2020s 695 units.

“The number of active listings continues to fall short of buyer’s demand at historical levels, making it unlikely for buyers to see a softening on prices as we head into the new year,” says Heizmann.

The benchmark price for homes in the Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, South Okanagan and Shuswap/Revelstoke regions closed the year with double-digit percentage increases in year-over-year comparisons across all home categories.

In the South Peace River Region, where benchmark pricing is not available, the average price for single-family homes and mobile homes increased 44.5% and 56.9% respectively.
