Dry July extends to Kamloops real estate market

Aug 6, 2026 | 2:36 PM

KAMLOOPS — Real estate activity was muted in a smoky Kamloops July.

New numbers from the Association of Interior Realtors (AIR) show 254 sales last month, down from 271 in June and 259 in July, 2025.

Fewer people were interested in putting their homes on the market in July. AIR recorded 457 new listings last month, down from 572 in June and 511 in July of last year.

“The Kamloops and district real estate market continues to reflect stable conditions, with sales activity largely in line with what we saw at this time last year,” said AIR President Ryan Mayne in a news release. “While new listings eased in July and overall inventory remains lower than we’d like to see, that’s been a longstanding challenge for the region, where demand has consistently outpaced the supply of available homes.”

Overall inventory is 1,479 properties as of the end of July, virtually unchanged from the month before.

Benchmmark prices showed little change from June to July – $684,000 for a single-family home, $510,000 for a townhouse and $371,300 for a condominium.

“We’re continuing to see a normal seasonal pattern across the Interior market with sales activity tracking closely to the pace established during the same month last year,” added Mayne. “Although inventory growth has been slightly muted, the fact that listings aren’t building up points to a market that is steady and stable, continuing at a sustainable pace rather than experiencing significant shifts in either direction.”
