The AoIR said there were a total of 129 residential sales in the North Okanagan in September of 2026, down from 155 in the same month the year before. Sales in all housing types saw year-over-year declines in September.

Central Okanagan

The Central Okanagan also saw similar year-over-year trends, as housing sales dipped from 367 in September of 2025 to 320 in the most recent reporting month.

Despite the decline in sales single family home benchmark prices rose 0.9 per cent annually to $1,057,200, and condo and apartment prices rose two per cent to $496,700. Townhouse prices did see a decline, falling to 5.5 per cent to $696,600.

Across the Interior the AoIR also reported a total of 1,141 sales in September, which was down eight per cent compared to the same month the year before.

“Market activity across the Interior is showing early signs of a soft rebound following a challenging few months. While broader geopolitical and economic uncertainty continues to make some buyers and sellers hesitant, inventory isn’t accumulating, which is helping maintain balanced conditions,” Association of Interior Realtors President, Ryan Mayne, stated in the monthly report.

“We’re also seeing that well-priced homes are being picked up relatively quickly, which is an encouraging sign that the market is gradually moving in the right direction.”
