The better question is what rate you would actually get, because the number in the headlines isn't what everyone pays. I'll bring your information to my trusted lender and get back to you with a free estimate based on your real situation.

Buying in Kelowna usually means refreshing listing sites and hoping something good turns up, which puts you in line with every other buyer. I'd rather work the other direction. Tell me the area, the price range, and the details that actually matter to you, and I'll build a private search around it. Not every search turns something up right away, but when a match shows up, you'll hear from me the same day it comes on.

Short-Term Rentals Return to Select Condos Starting June 1st

We discuss the news that short-term rentals are being brought back as of June 1st in specific subzones, affecting a limited number of condo complexes like those on Sunset Drive and Playa Del Sol in the Mission. We share our perspective that this balanced approach provides tourist accommodation options while preserving inventory for long-term renters and maintaining affordability. We believe this is the right direction and appreciate that the province and city listened to feedback.
