BC Standing Inventory Data By City, Size, And Average Price
With 6,687 unsold residential units currently on the market across BC—mostly condos, and with the largest inventories in Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey—we’re seeing a more layered story than simply an oversupply of small units. It’s a reminder that market dynamics are always shifting, and one size never fits all. For those of us navigating the Shuswap’s unique landscape, it’s important to look past the headlines and consider how broader trends may (or may not) ripple out to our communities. My focus has always been on helping buyers and sellers make clear, confident decisions based on real conditions, not just numbers. Whether you’re considering a move or weighing your options, understanding what’s really happening behind the data is the first step to getting it right.

Canada's housing market 'finally' moving toward recovery this year: RBC
We're starting to see signs of real movement in Canada's housing market. According to RBC, the market is edging toward recovery: home resales are picking up, inventory is stabilizing, and prices have leveled out. While resales might dip by 3.6% this year, projections suggest a 6.7% rebound next year—alongside modest price gains, assuming interest rates remain steady and there are no major external shocks. For those of us in the Shuswap, these trends offer a reassuring sense of stability and opportunity. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply staying informed, understanding these shifts can help you make smart, confident decisions about where—and how—you live. As always, I’m here to help you navigate what matters most to you, with local insight and practical advice tailored to your next move.

Canada: Rate Cuts Can Worsen Affordability
A lot of folks ask if lower interest rates will finally make homes more affordable in the Shuswap. It’s a fair question, and the answer is more complex than it seems. Central bank researchers recently found that when rates are cut, housing demand jumps almost immediately—resales pick up within months, and the real boost shows up about 18 to 24 months later. But the supply side takes much longer to catch up: new home construction typically starts rising around two years after the rate cut, and that’s if all the planning and permitting hurdles go smoothly (which, as many local builders will tell you, is rarely the case with multi-unit developments).

If the job market is strong and families feel financially secure, demand gets an extra push—people feel more comfortable making big moves. Builders do get motivated by higher prices and cheaper financing, but bringing new homes to market isn’t quick, especially in our communities where zoning and approvals can add real delays.

The takeaway? Rate cuts might eventually help add more homes, but because supply always lags behind demand, they don’t fix affordability on their own. That’s why I always encourage buyers and sellers to look beyond the headlines. Understanding these cycles is part of how I help clients make confident decisions—whether you’re searching for your next home in Blind Bay or positioning your property to stand out in Salmon Arm. Getting it right for you—that’s what matters most.

CREA data shows home sales up 0.5% while new listings fall 1.6% — regional markets shift toward balanced territory
With the latest CREA data showing Canadian home sales up by 0.5% and new listings dipping 1.6%, it’s clear that many markets—including right here in the Shuswap—are settling into more balanced territory. The sales-to-new listings ratio now sits at 51.3%, and inventory is holding steady at 4.7 months, with prices remaining stable and seeing only modest growth. For buyers and sellers navigating these subtle shifts, understanding how these numbers translate at the local level is key. I’ve always believed that making smart, confident decisions starts with clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances. Whether you’re planning your next move or just watching the market, I’m here to help you make sense of what’s happening so you can focus on what matters most—finding a place you truly love, or positioning your current home for the best possible result.

In today’s market, the average "Days on Market" for a residential property in the Shuswap Revelstoke region is sitting at 64 days - but the best homes are gone much sooner. Are you on the "off-market" list yet?
