PENTICTON HOUSING MARKET HAS A SLOW WEEK TO END OCTOBER; INVENTORY LEVELS CONTINUE TO DECLINE.
13 homes sold between October 27 – November 2 – that’s DOWN 3 sales from last week’s 16, and down 3 for the same time period last year. Meanwhile, 18 new listings hit the market, giving buyers some new options to explore.
Highlight of the Week: A Single-Family Home on the North side of Penticton, selling for more than $750,000. Overall, buyers secured homes at an average of 97% of the asking price, with none of 13 properties selling at or above list price.
Inventory Check: There are currently 423 properties (of all types) available in Penticton today. That’s down from 462 in November 2024. This is an 8% drop in inventory versus last year and has become a consistent trend in my year-over-year analysis. This definitely feels like the start of a shift in market dynamics.
Listing Activity: Over the past 30 days, 97 new properties have entered the market, offering some fresh options for active buyers.
Pro Tip for Buyers: The window of opportunity is still open – but not for long? With another Bank of Canada Rate Cut of .25% last week, and rising buyer demand, we could soon see a return to multiple offers and brisk sales quicker than I had originally anticipated. Thinking of buying? Now’s the time to act with confidence before the pace picks up!13 SALES by property type for the homes SOLD this past week (Oct. 27 – Nov. 2). Breakdown is as follows:
- 6 Single Family Homes
