Kamloops real estate activity slows to a crawl to start 2026

KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops real estate market got off to a slow start in 2026.

New totals released by the Association of Interior Realtors of BC (AIR) show 90 residential unit sales last month — down about 35 per cent from both December and from the same month in 2025.

AIR President Kadin Rainville noted the entire region saw a major dip last month.

“January brought a bit of a cooldown in the real estate sector after a very strong December, which aligns with typical seasonal trends, even if the dip was a bit sharper than anticipated,” said Rainville.
