Kimberley Real Estate Market Update: August 2026

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 18:18:43 GMT

August brought a quieter month for real estate sales in Kimberley, but there are some interesting numbers behind the headline stats.

We saw fewer new listings and fewer sales compared to August of last year, while the homes that did sell moved considerably faster and achieved a higher percentage of their asking price. Inventory also remains below last year's levels, giving us a market where buyers have options, but not an abundance of choice.

Here’s a closer look at what happened in the Kimberley real estate market in August 2026.

NEW LISTINGS WERE DOWN 9.5%

There were 19 new residential listings in August, compared with 21 in August 2025, a decrease of 9.52%.

Looking at the year so far, this isn't just an August trend. From January through August, 162 new listings came to market, compared with 179 during the same period last year.

For buyers, fewer properties coming to market means there may be less selection, particularly if you're looking within a specific price range, neighbourhood or property type.

For sellers, lower listing activity can mean less competition. That doesn't mean every property will sell quickly, though. Pricing, condition and presentation are still important when buyers are deciding which homes deserve their attention.

SALES SLOWED, WITH 8 HOMES SOLD

There were 8 residential sales in August, down from 12 in August 2025. That's a year-over-year decrease of 33.33%.

Year to date, Kimberley has recorded 105 sales, compared with 120 during the same period in 2025, a decrease of 12.5%.

So while August itself was noticeably quieter, the year-to-date numbers give us a little more perspective. Sales activity is down compared with last year, but not by as much as August's 33% decline might suggest on its own.

This is also a good example of why I like looking beyond one individual statistic. Eight sales is a relatively small sample, and a handful of transactions can make month-to-month and year-over-year percentages move quite dramatically.

INVENTORY REMAINS LOWER THAN LAST YEAR

At the end of August, there were 58 active residential listings, compared with 75 at the same time last year. That's a decrease of 22.67%.

The report also shows 4.43 months of inventory, down from 5.26 months in August 2025, a decrease of 15.77%. Over the last 12 months, the market has averaged approximately 13 sales per month.

Months of inventory helps give us an idea of the relationship between the number of homes available and the current pace of sales. In simple terms, Kimberley has fewer homes available than it did a year ago, and the available inventory represents a little over four months of supply based on recent sales activity.

For buyers, that means there are still choices available, but depending on what you're looking for, you may need some patience while waiting for the right property.

HOMES THAT SOLD, SOLD MUCH FASTER

One of the most notable August statistics was days on market.

Homes that sold in August spent an average of 31.38 days on market, compared with 88.5 days in August 2025. That's a substantial decrease of 64.55%.

The year-to-date numbers are less dramatic, but they're still moving in the same direction. So far in 2026, sold properties have averaged 64.24 days on market, compared with 72.93 days during the same period last year, an 11.91% decrease.

Again, with only eight sales during August, I wouldn't use the 64% change by itself to say that every home is suddenly selling dramatically faster. What it does tell us is that the homes that successfully sold during August moved relatively quickly.

For sellers, that's another reason why your strategy from day one matters. Buyers may be selective, but they can also move quickly when the right property comes along.

SELLERS RECEIVED 97.74% OF LIST PRICE

The average sale-to-list price ratio increased in August.

Sellers received an average of 97.74% of their list price, compared with 95.44% in August 2025, an improvement of 2.41%.

Year to date, the average is 96.58%, compared with 95.66% last year.

This is an important number for sellers because it reinforces the value of getting the initial pricing strategy right. A higher sale-to-list ratio doesn't necessarily mean buyers aren't negotiating. Rather, it gives us another piece of information about where successful sales are landing relative to their asking prices.

AVERAGE SALE PRICE INCREASED, BUT CONTEXT MATTERS

The average sale price in August was $614,000, compared with $473,325 in August 2025, an increase of 29.72%.

The average list price of homes that sold was also higher, increasing from $496,208 last August to $624,550 this August.

Those are big percentage changes, but this is where context is especially important.

With only eight sales in August, the types and price points of the homes that happened to sell can have a significant impact on the monthly average. A higher average sale price doesn't automatically mean that an individual Kimberley home increased in value by nearly 30% over the past year.

The year-to-date figures provide a broader sample. Through August, the average sale price is $571,645, compared with $519,507 during the same period in 2025, an increase of 10.04%. The year-to-date average list price is $591,234, up 9.26%.

That's why, if you're wondering what your home might be worth, I would always look at comparable properties and the specifics of your home rather than applying a city-wide percentage to it.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR KIMBERLEY'S MARKET?

August gives us a bit of a mixed picture, which is exactly why looking at several statistics together is so useful.

We had fewer sales and fewer new listings, but we also finished the month with less active inventory than last year. The homes that did sell moved significantly faster, sellers achieved a higher percentage of list price, and both monthly and year-to-date average sale prices were higher than their 2025 comparisons.

For sellers, this isn't a market where I'd assume that simply putting a home up for sale will produce a quick result. Buyers still have choices and sales volume is lower than last year. A thoughtful pricing strategy, great presentation and strong marketing matter.

For buyers, fewer active listings can mean waiting for the right opportunity. When a well-priced property does come along, August's days-on-market numbers are a good reminder that it may not sit around forever.

Most importantly, real estate is very specific. The market for a detached home in town can behave differently from a condo, vacant land or a resort property. City-wide statistics are a useful starting point, but they're not a substitute for looking closely at the segment of the market that applies to you.

If you're thinking about buying or selling in Kimberley and would like to know what these numbers mean for your particular property, price range or plans, I'm always happy to dig a little deeper with you.

Kimberley Real Estate Market Update, July 2026

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 19:02:05 GMT

July brought another steady month for the Kimberley real estate market. While we saw fewer new listings and sales compared to this time last year, inventory also remained lower, and homes continued to sell relatively quickly. Overall, the market continues to favour well-prepared buyers and sellers who understand current conditions.

New Listings

A total of 17 residential properties were listed within Kimberley city limits in July, down 15% from the 20 new listings we saw in July 2025. Fewer new listings means buyers had slightly fewer fresh options entering the market throughout the month.

Sales Activity

There were 16 completed sales in July, also down 15% from the same month last year. While sales volume softened slightly, it's important to remember that Kimberley is a relatively small market, so monthly numbers can fluctuate from year to year. One or two additional sales can make a noticeable difference in the statistics.

Inventory Remains Limited

At the end of July, there were 67 active residential listings available in Kimberley, compared to 85 at the same time last year, a decrease of just over 21%.

Lower inventory means buyers have fewer homes to choose from, especially in certain price ranges. For sellers, limited competition can be an advantage, particularly when a home is priced appropriately and presented well.

Homes Are Selling Faster

One of the more notable changes this month was the average time it took to sell a home. Properties sold in an average of 51 days, down from 76 days last July, a decrease of nearly 33%.

This tells us that while buyers are taking a thoughtful approach, they're still ready to move when the right property comes along. Well-priced homes in good condition continue to attract attention.

Sale Prices Remain Strong

Sellers received an average of 96% of their asking price, virtually unchanged from last year's 96.19%. This suggests that buyers and sellers continue to meet at realistic price points, with neither side holding a significant advantage in negotiations.

The report also shows that both average list prices and average sale prices increased by nearly 8% compared to July 2025, reflecting continued strength in home values despite lower sales activity.

What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

Kimberley's market continues to look balanced. Inventory is lower than it was a year ago, homes are selling more quickly, and prices have remained resilient. Although there were fewer transactions this July, demand hasn't disappeared. Buyers are simply taking a more measured approach, and properties that are priced well and marketed effectively continue to stand out.

If you're thinking about buying or selling, the numbers only tell part of the story. Every neighbourhood, price point, and property type behaves a little differently, and understanding those nuances can make a significant difference in your results.

Whether you're curious about your home's value or you're just starting to think about your next move, I'd be happy to help you understand what today's Kimberley market means for you.

Kimberley BC Real Estate Market Update, February 2026

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:19:25 GMT

If you are keeping an eye on the Kimberley BC real estate market, February brought some interesting movement. Buyer activity increased compared to last year while the number of available homes remained relatively tight. Below is a quick breakdown of what happened in the Kimberley residential market last month and what it could mean if you are thinking about buying or selling this year.

New Listings

A total of 19 homes came to market in February, which is about 17% fewer than February of last year. Fewer new listings means buyers have slightly less choice than they did a year ago, which can help maintain balance in the market.

Sales Activity

There were 16 homes sold in February, representing a 33% increase compared to the same time last year. This shows that buyers are still actively watching the Kimberley BC real estate market and ready to move when the right property becomes available.

Current Inventory

Inventory remains fairly tight in Kimberley. At the end of February there were 62 active residential listings, which is down about 19% year over year. Limited inventory often means well priced homes tend to attract strong interest from buyers.

Days on Market

Homes are taking a little longer to sell than earlier in the winter, with the average days on market sitting at 105 days. That said, this is still about 6% lower than February of last year, showing that properly priced homes are continuing to move.

Sale Price Compared to List Price

Sellers are still seeing solid results in today’s market. On average, homes sold for 96% of their list price, which is about 3.2% higher than last February.

The Kimberley BC Real Estate Market in 2026

So far in 2026, the Kimberley BC real estate market has remained relatively balanced. Inventory is still limited compared to historical levels, which means well priced homes tend to attract strong interest. Buyers are taking a more thoughtful and informed approach than we saw during the peak market years, but demand remains steady for homes in desirable neighbourhoods and close to amenities. As we move further into the spring market, it will be interesting to see whether new listings begin to increase and how that affects competition among buyers.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

Overall, the Kimberley BC real estate market continues to move at a steady pace. Inventory remains limited, buyers are active, and well priced homes are attracting attention. For sellers, proper pricing and strong presentation continue to make a big difference in how quickly a home sells. For buyers, being prepared and ready to act when the right property appears can be key in a market with limited inventory.

Kimberley Real Estate Market Update | January 2026

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 22:09:46 GMT

The Kimberley real estate market is off to a steady start in 2026. While January is typically a quieter month, the latest numbers give us a useful look at how the local market is behaving early in the year.

These statistics reflect residential real estate sales within Kimberley city limits, and while one month does not define the entire year, it helps set expectations for buyers and sellers moving forward.

New Listings Increase in Kimberley

January saw 16 new listings come to market, which is double the number we saw in January of last year. This suggests that more homeowners are feeling confident about listing their property earlier in the year rather than waiting for the spring market. Although buyers have slightly more choice, inventory levels remain reasonable, meaning pricing and presentation still play a major role in how quickly a home sells.

Sales Activity Slows Seasonally

There were 8 homes sold in Kimberley in January, representing a decrease of about 38% compared to last year. This slowdown is largely seasonal and typical for winter months, rather than a sign of reduced buyer interest. Buyers are still active in the Kimberley housing market, but they are taking a more measured and thoughtful approach.

Kimberley Housing Inventory Remains Tight

Active inventory sat at 67 homes, down nearly 13% year over year. Even with an increase in new listings, overall supply remains relatively tight, which helps keep the market balanced and supports property values. This level of inventory continues to create a market where well priced homes attract attention quickly.

Homes Are Selling Faster

One of the most noticeable changes this month is days on market. Homes sold in an average of 47 days, down significantly from over 100 days in January of last year. This shows that homes which are priced appropriately and presented well are still selling efficiently, even during a slower winter market.

Sale Prices and Negotiation Trends

Average sale prices increased year over year, and sellers are continuing to achieve strong results. Homes sold for an average of 95.5% of list price, an improvement of just over 3% from last January. This indicates that pricing expectations between buyers and sellers are aligning more closely.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers in Kimberley

Overall, the Kimberley real estate market is starting 2026 in a balanced and steady position. Sellers who prepare their homes properly and price realistically are seeing solid results, while buyers who are informed and prepared are able to act confidently when the right opportunity comes along.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Kimberley this year, these trends can help you make more confident decisions and plan your next move with clarity.

If you’d like to talk about how the current market applies to your specific situation, I’m always happy to help.

Kimberley’s November 2025 Market Update

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 23:17:53 GMT

November Market Update. What’s Happening in Kimberley Real Estate?

November brought some interesting shifts to the Kimberley market, and while things are still moving at a steady pace, we’re also seeing the effects of lower inventory and more selective buyers. Here’s a breakdown of what happened and what it means if you’re thinking about buying or selling.

Sales stayed steady, but new listings dropped

We saw 13 homes sell in November, exactly the same number as last year. What changed was the number of new homes coming to market. New listings dropped by more than 20 percent, which means buyers had fewer choices and sellers faced less competition.

When listing activity slows down like this, the market becomes tighter. Even in a more cautious environment, reduced inventory can help support pricing.

Prices continued to climb

Both the average list price ($556,134) and the average sale price ($512,538) increased from last year. List prices rose by almost nine percent and sale prices rose by more than seven percent. Despite a more balanced and slower moving market overall, Kimberley continues to hold strong on value.

This tells us that buyers are still willing to pay for well maintained or well presented homes, especially in desirable neighbourhoods.

Homes sold faster this November

One of the most notable changes was days on market. Homes took about 95 days to sell compared to 120 days last year. That’s a significant improvement and a sign that buyers who are active are genuinely motivated. Even though we’re not in the ultra fast market we saw during the pandemic, properly priced homes are still attracting attention and moving in a reasonable timeframe.

Inventory tightened significantly

Active listings dropped by more than 30 percent, bringing months of supply down from 5.16 to 3.57. When supply shrinks this quickly, the market becomes more balanced and can even lean in favour of sellers in specific price brackets.

For homeowners who are considering listing in the new year, this is encouraging. Less competition means your home has a better chance of standing out.

Buyers are still negotiating

The sale to list price ratio dipped slightly, from 92.63 percent to 91.57 percent. This shows that while prices are holding, buyers are still expecting some negotiation room. Accurate pricing is important. Overpricing will lengthen your days on market and ultimately work against you.

What this means moving forward

If you’re thinking about selling, the combination of lower inventory and steady pricing puts you in a better position than you might expect for this time of year. Buyers are selective, but they are active, and they’re moving when the home is priced correctly from the start.

If you’re buying, the slower pace can work in your favour. There’s more time to make thoughtful decisions and negotiate terms that work for you.

If you’re curious about what these trends mean for your specific property, I’m always happy to put together a personalized market evaluation.

The ski hill is close enough for spontaneous runs, and Trickle Creek Golf Resort is only a short drive away for early tee times or evening rounds. The Kimberley Nature Park connects nearby, adding hundreds of hectares of forest and trails to explore. It is an area known for its beautiful homes, its privacy, and the rare opportunity to build in a location that feels both elevated and welcoming. Remaining lots on a street this special are few and far between, so consider taking the next step now, because “I should have” is never as satisfying as “I’m glad I did.” (id:2493)

Kimberley Real Estate Market Update - October 2025

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 17:47:23 GMT

October brought a shift toward a tighter market in Kimberley and the surrounding areas, with fewer homes available and continued buyer activity keeping things moving.

Inventory and Sales Trends

New listings were down by about 21% compared to October 2024, while the number of homes sold increased by nearly 17%. That combination means buyers are still actively looking, even though there are fewer options to choose from.

Active inventory dropped to 98 homes, which is down about 18% from last year. This reduced supply has helped maintain healthy price levels across the board.

Pricing and Market Balance

The average sale price in Kimberley in October was approximately $568,000, representing a 15% increase from the same time last year. The list-to-sale ratio averaged 95.4%, showing that while buyers are negotiating a bit more, sellers who price strategically are still achieving strong results.

Homes are spending a little more time on the market, with the average days to sell now around 74 days, up slightly from last year. This is consistent with a market where buyers are taking time to make confident decisions, but well-prepared listings continue to perform well.

What This Means for Sellers

Even though there are fewer listings overall, motivated buyers are still out there. With strong marketing, accurate pricing, and professional presentation, sellers can expect solid interest, especially as we move toward the winter and early spring market.

What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, this market still offers good opportunities, but preparation is key. With fewer homes available, it’s important to have financing in order and be ready to act when the right property appears.

In Summary

October’s data reflects a balanced, healthy market - one where confidence remains steady and both buyers and sellers have opportunities to achieve their goals with the right strategy.

If you are thinking about buying or selling in Kimberley, Cranbrook, or the East Kootenay area, I am happy to help you understand how these trends fit your specific situation.

Why Everyone’s Talking About the East Kootenay Lifestyle (and What It Means for Local Real Estate).

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 22:29:34 GMT

There’s something happening in the East Kootenay right now, and it’s not just the fall colours lighting up the valley. More and more people are trading big-city burnout for mountain-town balance, and Kimberley, BC is at the centre of it.

As a REALTOR® who made this move myself, I can tell you firsthand that people aren’t just looking for a home anymore. They’re looking for a life.

🏡 My Kimberley Story: Finding Home and Balance

A few years back, I was living in Canmore, Alberta, another beautiful mountain town that I absolutely loved. But as anyone familiar with the Bow Valley market knows, owning a home there can feel out of reach. Prices were sky-high, and I realized that even after years of hard work, I’d never be able to afford the kind of home or lifestyle I wanted.

My husband and I are both snowboarders, and one winter he decided to ride a few resorts along the Powder Highway. That’s when he discovered Kimberley. A few months later, we came back in the summer to go camping, and that was all it took.

We fell in love.

Kimberley had everything we wanted: endless trails like Kimberley Nature Park, Lois Creek, and Forest Crowne, plus a strong community vibe and down-to-earth locals. It felt real, welcoming, and refreshingly not “touristy.”

And the best part? Homeownership was actually within reach.

💡 Kimberley Real Estate Market Update: September 2025

Fast forward to today, and many buyers are discovering exactly what we did.

Here’s what the latest data from the Association of Interior REALTORS® shows for September 2025 in Kimberley:

Sales activity increased by 21% compared to last year.
Average sale price decreased by 24%, with detached single-family homes and yards now starting around $405,000.
Inventory dropped nearly 31%, showing that homes are still selling steadily.
Average days on market dipped slightly, meaning well-priced homes are moving quickly.

For buyers, this creates a unique opportunity. The market is active but not overheated, giving first-time homebuyers and relocation buyers the chance to find great homes without bidding wars.

For sellers, it means there’s consistent demand, especially for well-presented listings that highlight Kimberley’s lifestyle and outdoor appeal.

🌲 The East Kootenay Lifestyle Advantage

Ask anyone why they’ve moved here and you’ll hear the same reasons again and again:

A slower pace of life that lets you truly enjoy your days.
Access to year-round outdoor recreation like hiking, biking, skiing, and paddling.
A genuine sense of community that makes newcomers feel welcome.

The East Kootenay lifestyle is about balance. You can finish your workday, grab your dog, and hit a trail before sunset. You can own a home that feels like a retreat, without giving up comfort or connection.

🏘️ What This Means for Kimberley Real Estate

The takeaway is simple. Kimberley is offering something rare in today’s market: affordable homeownership in a beautiful, connected mountain community.

Buyers are finding they don’t have to choose between lifestyle and practicality. They can have both.

And for sellers, this growing interest means now is a smart time to showcase what makes your property special. Homes that are move-in ready, priced right, and marketed with professional visuals continue to stand out.

☕ Why Kimberley Still Feels Like a Permanent Vacation

Living here honestly feels like a permanent vacation. Maybe it’s the trails, maybe it’s the friendly faces, but there’s an energy in Kimberley that’s hard to describe until you experience it.

I’ve lived in fourteen towns, four states, three provinces, and three countries, and nowhere has captured my heart like this place.

If you’ve been dreaming about slowing down, breathing mountain air, and owning a home that actually feels like you, maybe it’s time to explore what life in Kimberley, BC could look like.

I’d love to help you discover it, whether that’s through a virtual tour or an in-person visit.

Why Virtual Tours Are a Game Changer for Relocating Buyers

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 19:23:25 GMT

Relocating is exciting and chaotic. New jobs, school schedules, and packing can make the process feel overwhelming. When you cannot be here in person for every showing, a thorough virtual tour can be the difference between guessing and feeling confident.

Photos vs. Reality

MLS photos are great for first impressions, but they do not tell you how a home flows, how natural light moves through the rooms, or whether that “cozy” bedroom actually fits a real bed. My virtual tours give you the full picture. You can experience the layout, the scale, and the quirks just as if you were walking through with me.

Inspector Level Detail Without the Jargon

On every tour, I point out the good, the bad, and the “let’s budget for that later.” I cover window seals, yard grading, wear and tear, noise levels, smells, storage, and anything else you would want to know. This transparency gives relocating buyers the confidence to make informed decisions even when they are miles away.

A Real Story: From the North to Their New Home

Recently I worked with a couple living in northern Canada. They had both accepted new jobs here and were moving no matter what, but their children’s school schedule meant they could not travel ahead of time. We did several virtual tours together, and they chose their home based on those videos.

What made the difference? They told me the videos were a much more realistic representation than the MLS photos. They could see exactly how rooms connected, how much space there was, and every detail that might affect their decision. They ended up removing conditions before ever setting foot in the house. The first time they saw their home in person was after subject removal, and they loved it. The detailed virtual tour gave them the confidence to move forward for themselves and their two small children.

Why Sellers Love This Too

Out of town buyers who feel confident are able to act quickly. This means more exposure for sellers and fewer days on the market. Everyone wins.

The Bottom Line

Buying from afar does not have to feel like a gamble. With a detailed and honest virtual tour, you can make a confident decision without booking a single flight.

Relocating soon? Let’s schedule a virtual tour that shows you everything the photos do not.
