Monday Market Report January 5, 2026

PENTICTON’S HOUSING MARKET SEES MODEST SALES AMID GROWING INVENTORY LEVELS.

This past week brought just 7 home sales to Penticton’s real estate market – more than double last week’s 3 sales, though still below the 12 sales recorded during the same period last year. With 22 new listings entering the market this week, buyers are finding themselves in an increasingly favorable position. The growing inventory means more selection and less competition, allowing buyers to explore their options thoroughly and make confident decisions without the pressure of multiple offers. For those with specific requirements, this balanced market presents an ideal opportunity to secure the right home at the right price.

Highlight of the Week: A Single-Family Home in the Columbia/Duncan neighbourhood sold for more than $1.1 million dollars. Overall, buyers secured homes at an average of 96% of the asking price, with not one of the 7 properties selling at or above the listing price.

Inventory Check: There are currently 300 properties (of all types) available in Penticton today. That’s down from 425 Properties in January 2025. This is a 29% decline in inventory versus last year and has become a consistent trend in my year-over-year analysis. This is definitely a key sign of a shift in the market dynamics.

Listing Activity: Over the past month, 58 properties have entered the Penticton market, offering buyers an enhanced variety of homes to choose from.

Pro Tip for Buyers: The current market is creating great opportunities for informed buyers. You’re in the driver’s seat right now, with the time and space to find exactly what you’re looking for, negotiate thoughtfully, and make decisions without pressure. While we’re beginning to see renewed interest and energy in the market (which is a healthy sign overall) today’s conditions still favour buyers who are ready to act. If you’ve been dreaming about making a move, this could be the perfect time to turn those plans into reality and secure a great opportunity while you have the advantage!
