Current Market Status
"The Kamloops market bounced back in February after a slow January, with 152 sales — up from 90 in January and only marginally down 3.8% year-over-year. New listings jumped 10.1% compared to last February, giving buyers more choice. With active inventory up 3.0% and single-family benchmark prices holding steady at $661,000 (+2.2% YoY), the spring market is showing early signs of renewed momentum."
Kevin's Take:
"February's rebound is a healthy sign. Sales nearly doubled from January, and with more listings coming to market, buyers have real options. If you're a seller, the window to get ahead of spring competition is right now — well-priced homes are moving. Buyers, you still have negotiating room, but don't sleep on the right property."
Market Heat Index
A score of 46 indicates a buyer's market edging toward balance. Buyers retain negotiating power, but the improving sales pace signals that conditions are gradually shifting as spring approaches.

What This Means For You
For Buyers
February's uptick in new listings (up 10.1% year-over-year to 370) means you have more to choose from than you did a year ago. With 1,037 active listings and sales still running slightly below last year's pace, you retain meaningful negotiating leverage — especially on townhomes, where the benchmark has dipped 3.7% year-over-year to $483,600. Don't wait too long though: the spring market is building momentum, and well-priced properties are starting to move faster.
For Sellers
The rebound from January's 90 sales to February's 152 is encouraging — the market is waking up. Single-family benchmark prices are holding at $661,000 (+2.2% YoY), which shows that well-positioned homes are maintaining value. However, with active inventory up 3.0% year-over-year, competition is real. Sellers who price accurately, present well, and are flexible on terms will win. Those who overprice will sit and watch the spring market pass them by.
The 2026 Outlook
February's rebound confirms that January's sharp slowdown was largely seasonal rather than structural. With sales nearly doubling month-over-month and new listings rising, the Kamloops market is finding its footing heading into the traditionally busier spring season. The modest year-over-year sales decline of 3.8% — compared to January's 35.3% drop — signals a significant improvement in market health.
My prediction: Spring 2026 will bring increased activity on both the buying and selling sides. Expect single-family prices to hold or tick slightly higher as inventory tightens in desirable neighbourhoods. Townhomes and condos may see continued softness in the near term, presenting genuine value opportunities for first-time buyers and investors. The key theme for 2026 remains: fundamentals matter — location, condition, and realistic pricing will determine outcomes.
