December 2020 North Okanagan Real Estate Update
High demand drove the real estate market to finish the last month of 2020 on a high note.
"Last year was a very unusual year, after an initial slowdown due to stay-at-home orders from the provincial government we saw a high demand in the real estate market, once the orders were lifted that did not wane even in the typically slower months. Despite unusually high demand, inventory of active listings consistently remained low as buyers snapped up homes almost as soon as they were listed. Particularly in the family-sized homes category."
