KELOWNA, B.C. – October 5th, 2026. Residential real estate activity across the Interior in September showing signs that the market is beginning to find its footing again after a challenging few months, reports the Association of Interior REALTORS® (the Association).

The Association region recorded 1,141 residential sales in September, on par with the 1,141 units sold in August yet down 8% compared to the same time last year.

New residential listings saw a 13.4% decrease compared to September 2025 with 2,289 new listings recorded last month, up from the previous month’s 2,062 new listings. The total number of active listings saw a 6.8% decrease in inventory compared to the same time last year with 9,185 recorded across the Association region and down compared to August’s 9,378 total inventory.

“Market activity across the Interior is showing early signs of a soft rebound following a challenging few months. While broader geopolitical and economic uncertainty continues to make some buyers and sellers hesitant, inventory isn’t accumulating, which is helping maintain balanced conditions,” says Association of Interior REALTORS® President Ryan Mayne, adding that “we’re also seeing that well-priced homes are being picked up relatively quickly, which is an encouraging sign that the market is gradually moving in the right direction.”
