The number of active listings remain at an all time low for the Okanagan real estate market, according to a new report.
The Association of Interior Realtors (AIR) released statics for January showing a strong uptick in pricing but a lack of inventory.
“It is the same story that we have been telling over the past two years, more so in the last year. Our inventory levels are at record lows and I really don’t see that changing anytime soon,” said AIR vice-president, Lyndi Cruikshank.

“We have about 56 homes for sale in Penticton. It truly is a remarkable number to see in a market this big,” said Cruikshank.
The pandemic has played a large part in the decrease of active listings but there is also a high demand for new builds.
“We are not seeing our local governments being able to move fast enough to work with developers in order to see those homes that we need on the market,” said Cruikshank.
Although the number of active listings is at an all-time low, prices haven’t followed suit. Benchmark prices for homes continue to increase.
