Monday Market Report September 28, 2026

A slow start in the Penticton Real Estate Market for the month of October: 11 Sales & 22 New Listings Hit the Market. Steady Inventory Rewards Well-Priced Homes!

The Week in Numbers: 11 homes sold in Penticton this week, down 1 from last week, and down 5 sales this time last year. Meanwhile, 22 new listings hit the market, keeping inventory steady with no big swings in either direction, so buyers still have plenty of selection. For sellers, the formula hasn’t changed: price it right, show it well, and it moves. The fundamentals for well-priced homes haven’t changed.

Highlight of the Week: A Single-family home in the North area of Penticton sold for $800,000. Across all 11 transactions, buyers paid an average of 96% of asking, with none of the 11 properties selling at or above the list price.

Inventory Watch: Penticton currently holds 442 active listings across all categories, down from 453 a year ago.

New to Market: 128 new properties have come onto Penticton’s housing market over the past 30 days, a healthy (but smaller) wave of fresh inventory spanning a real range of price points and property types. For Buyers: The conditions favouring you are still in place. Inventory has held steady since June, so the selection you had three to six months ago is essentially the selection you have today. That kind of stretch is easy to take for granted, but it’s worth pausing on, because it won’t hold indefinitely. The market is showing early signs of recovery from a slower stretch tied to the Summerland wildfires in August, and while that recovery has lagged the historical seasonal trend so far, a bounce through September wouldn’t be a surprise. Once buyer demand catches up to listing activity, steady inventory tends to tip quickly, not gradually. Right now, you’re not just getting a fair price. You’re getting time to think, room to compare, and negotiating leverage instead of competing offers. All three are still on the table. The real question is how much runway is left, and that’s worth watching closely.
