Despite the snow and some cold temperatures for the Okanagan during January, potential buyers of Kelowna Real Estate have been starting to look and the number of potential investors I have spoken to has been well up on last year.

Interestingly, a number are looking for AirBnB potential properties.

Overall, it has been a lower inventory that has been the biggest challenge, and as a result, we have seen stronger activity, particularly when more affordable homes list with suites and financing has still been a challenge, for some, and this is has been the cause of a number of offers collapsing.

This week BC Stats estimated the current population of Kelowna had increased to 142,000 from 133,000 in 2016 and is still rising, And we continue to see reports of the future growth of UBCO.
