Monday Market Report March 28 – April 3, 2022

STRONG WEEK OF HOME SALES TO FINISH OFF THE MONTH!

In total, 32 properties changed hands this past week in the Penticton housing market, that’s UP 15 sales (17) from the week prior, but DOWN 7 sales (39) for the same time period one year ago. The highest priced transaction was a Townhome on the South side of Penticton which “SOLD” for more than $1.1 million. The difference between the listing price and the actual negotiated sales price for the week was at 103%, with 24 of the 32 homes selling “AT OR OVER” their listing price. In fact, there were 2 Single Family Homes that sold for $100K & $80K respectively over the asking price. We also had a Townhome on the North side that sold for $85k over the asking price, THAT’S MIND-BLOWING STUFF! DID YOU KNOW that we sold 109 homes in March 2022? However, in March 2021 we sold 157. THAT’S A 44% DECREASE IN SALES VOLUME YEAR OVER YEAR. Inventory levels continue to struggle with only 155 homes (of all types) on the market right now compared to 229 homes this time last year. If you’re a buyer looking to get into the market, the longer you WAIT, the more you will PAY!
