Kootenay-Boundary home sales decrease 26 per cent compared to October 2025

The Association of Interior Realtors says home sales in the Kootenay and Boundary region recorded 222 units sold in October – marking a 26 per cent decrease compared with October 2025 and down slightly from September’s 253 units sold.

The region recorded 359 new listings in October, down 0.8 per cent from the same month last year and below September’s 418.

Active listings rose 4.9 per cent year over year to 1,680, but remained below September’s inventory of 1,823.

“After a few exceptionally strong years in the Kootenay and Boundary region, it’s not surprising to see the market ease off the pace a little,” said Ryan Mayne, President, Association of Interior REALTORS®.

“Market fluctuations are a natural part of the real estate cycle, and some easing in activity is to be expected. Looking beyond the month-to-month fluctuations, the region’s overall performance remains encouraging and continues to point toward another solid year for the Kootenay and Boundary market.”

The benchmark price for a single-family home rose 1.3 per cent year over year to $625,600. Benchmark prices track homes with typical attributes and are considered a better measure of value than average or median prices.

The townhouse benchmark price fell 4.1 per cent to $509,000, while the condominium benchmark price rose 6.6 per cent to $351,500.
