January brought a bit of a cooldown in the real estate sector after a very strong December, which aligns with typical seasonal trends, even if the dip was a bit sharper than anticipated,” says Association of Interior REALTORS® President Kadin Rainville, adding that “with prices holding relatively steady and demand still present, the market may be recalibrating rather than retreating. While some are waiting on the sidelines, the level of activity suggests this may be more about timing and economic conditions than a true shift in momentum.”

“The market is still active, just not rushing and we’ll be watching closely to see whether this is a short-term pause or part of a larger pattern,” notes Rainville.

In the Okanagan and Shuswap/Revelstoke regions, the benchmark price for single-family homes saw decreases last month in all sub-regions in year-over-year comparisons with the exception of the Shuswap/Revelstoke region, which saw an increase of 1.9%, coming in at $713,000.
