LAKE COUNTRY, BC
REFINED LAKESIDE LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE OKANAGAN

From Okanagan Centre to the hills above the lake, the area blends privacy, views, and a strong connection to the landscape, with acclaimed wineries, waterfront parks, schools, Kelowna International Airport, and UBC Okanagan all within easy reach.

Active and sold market data from the Association of Interior REALTORS MLS, as of November 10, 2026. Sold figures are totals and medians of residential sales that closed in the last 90 days; medians are shown only with 5 or more sales. Residential only (houses, apartments, townhouses). Months of inventory requires at least 6 closed sales in the window to be meaningful and reads N/A below that.

SCOTT’S MARKET PERSPECTIVE
Updated November 6, 2026 · monthly · 90-day figures
“BUYERS HERE WANT LAKE ACCESS AND PRIVACY WITHOUT LEAVING KELOWNA BEHIND.”
Demand in Lake Country South West has softened noticeably: there were 15 sales over the past 90 days, well down on the same 90 days last year, while new listings held roughly steady over the same period. That mismatch leaves supply at 16.4 months of inventory, well above the 10.4 for Lake Country as a whole and firmly in buyers' territory. Even so, the homes that did sell went for a median 97.3% of their final asking price, so sellers who priced realistically were not giving up much. Sales gathered in the $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 band, which tells me buyers are active at that level but selective, and the real negotiation happens in where a listing is priced, not after it goes up. Figures from Association of Interior REALTORS MLS data for the 90 days to November 6, 2026.
Out here the details do the heavy lifting. Where a home sits, how much of the lake it takes in, the size of the lot, and how close you are to the water or the wine trail can all move the price noticeably from one pocket to the next.
