Penticton’s Week in Numbers: Sales Cool, Listings Hold Steady – But Well-Priced Homes Still Move!
The Week in Numbers: 11 homes sold in Penticton this week, down 10 sales from last week, and down 8 sales from this time last year, while 22 new listings landed, keeping inventory steady with no big swings either way, so buyers still have plenty to choose from. Sellers, this is your moment: price it right, show it well, and it moves – the market’s sharpening up, not slowing down.
Highlight of the Week: A single-family home on the Wiltse/Valleyview neighbourhood of Penticton sold for more than $1 million. Across all 11 transactions, buyers paid an average of 97% of asking, with 2 of the properties selling at or above the list price.
Inventory Watch: Penticton currently holds 462 active listings across all categories, down from 544 a year ago. That’s a 15% year-over-year decline in inventory, and it isn’t a one-week wobble; it’s a pattern that’s been quietly building for the past four months. Worth keeping a close eye on as momentum keeps gathering.
New to Market: 105 new properties have come up across Penticton in the past 30 days, a healthy (but smaller) wave of fresh inventory spanning a real range of price points and property types. For Buyers: You’ve had an unusually good run, and the good news is those conditions haven’t disappeared overnight. Inventory has held steady over the past three months, and the selection you had in June is still roughly what you have today. But steady isn’t the same as guaranteed, and with sales picking up pace, that balance can shift quickly. The value here was never only about price; it was about having time to decide and options to choose from. Both are still there right now, but the window to take advantage of them won’t stay open forever. The signs are there for anyone paying attention.11 SALES by property type for the homes SOLD this past week (August 3 – August 9). Breakdown is as follows:
