No hype. Just the numbers that matter.
Current Market Status
"The Kamloops market recovered in February after a slow January, with 152 residential sales — up from 90 in January and only marginally down 3.8% year-over-year. New listings climbed 10.1% compared to last February, giving buyers more selection heading into spring. Single-family benchmark prices held firm at $661,000 (+2.2% YoY), while active inventory of 1,037 listings remains elevated, keeping conditions in buyer-favourable territory."
Kevin's Take:
"February's rebound confirmed the January slowdown was seasonal, not structural. Sales nearly doubled month-over-month, and with more listings hitting the market, buyers have genuine options. Sellers: the spring window is open — well-priced, well-presented homes are moving. Buyers: you still have negotiating room, but the right property won't wait forever."
Market Heat Index
A score of 46 indicates a buyer's market edging toward balance. Buyers retain meaningful negotiating leverage, but the improving sales pace and rising new listings signal that conditions are gradually shifting as the spring market builds momentum.

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 Spring 2026 Outlook
February's rebound confirmed that January's sharp slowdown was seasonal rather than structural. With sales nearly doubling month-over-month and new listings rising 10.1% year-over-year, the Kamloops market entered spring 2026 with improving momentum. The modest year-over-year sales decline of 3.8% — compared to January's 35.3% drop — signals a significant improvement in market health heading into the busier season.
Kevin's read on spring 2026: Expect increased activity on both the buying and selling sides as the season progresses. Single-family prices are holding firm and could tick slightly higher as inventory tightens in desirable neighbourhoods. Townhomes and condos continue to present genuine value opportunities for first-time buyers and investors, with the townhome benchmark down 3.7% year-over-year to $483,600. The consistent theme remains: location, condition, and accurate pricing will determine outcomes in every segment.
