      • We have 492 active listings in the city of Penticton vs. 494 last year.
      • With less sales activity and current inventory levels, Penticton will be in a “BUYERS” market for easily the next few weeks.

      Although we are still living with some uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, I am hopeful that the safety measures in place are showing a renewed level of optimism and the beginning of brighter days ahead! Remember, I will always be here to help navigate you through the process!   Shannon
