Kelowna Real Estate Market Outlook: August to October 2025

Here’s what to watch over the next three months.

Current Positives in the Kelowna Real Estate Market

  1. More Realistic Pricing is Emerging
    Across homes, condos, and townhomes, we’re seeing signs that sellers are trying hard and adjusting expectations. This shift could open the door for motivated buyers as fall activity ramps up.

  2. Seasonal Activity Expected to Pick Up
    September and October typically bring a resurgence in showings and offers. Many buyers and sellers who paused for the summer return to the market, aiming to make a move before winter.

  3. Higher Condo Inventory Offers Buyers More Choice
    The condo segment continues to show strong inventory levels, giving buyers — including UBCO parents and investors — more flexibility and negotiating room than we’ve seen in recent years.


Current Negatives in the Kelowna Real Estate Market

  1. Interest Rate Uncertainty Lingers
    While the Bank of Canada recently held rates steady, continued inflationary pressure and global economic concerns — including tariff impacts — mean rate cuts are not guaranteed. Many buyers remain cautious, choosing to wait and see.
  2. Affordability Remains a Barrier
    Even with some price softening, the cost of borrowing and rising living expenses are keeping many buyers on the sidelines or adjusting their expectations.
  3. Buyer-Seller Disconnect is Growing
    In my recent experience, buyers are coming in with some aggressive offers — expecting larger discounts than the market is currently reflecting. At the same time, sellers are holding firm, feeling the market hasn’t softened enough to justify the drop. The result? Frustration on both sides, and fewer successful negotiations. It may be time for a bit of a reset — for both buyers and sellers to re-align with where the market actually is. If you’re going in aggressively, make sure it comes with some degree of logic, so that Sellers know you’re serious.
  4. August Slowdown Could Delay Decisions
    With many people away and general uncertainty in the air, August may remain quiet. But for serious buyers, this could be a window of opportunity — with less competition and more negotiating power.
