☀️ Columbia Valley Real Estate Market Update – July 2025


Summer Holidays, Hot Sales, and Cool Negotiations

July in the Columbia Valley means sunshine, lake days, and family vacations—but it also brought a healthy surge of real estate activity. While many people were floating on paddleboards or roasting marshmallows, the local market was quietly heating up. With more listings, stronger sale prices, and steady buyer activity, July 2025 showed us that summer fun and smart moves can go hand in hand.

Here’s your local market snapshot across Invermere, Windermere, Radium Hot Springs, Fairmont, Panorama, and beyond:


🏡 July 2025 Market Snapshot (Year-over-Year)

📊 MetricJuly 2024July 2025% Change
Sold Listings4346⬆️ +6.98%
New Listings5569⬆️ +25.45%
Average List Price$703,686$779,634⬆️ +10.79%
Average Sale Price$650,670$716,973⬆️ +10.19%
Sale-to-List Price Ratio94.19%93.72%⬇️ -0.49%
Days on Market (DOM)85.28104.98⬆️ +23.10%
End-of-Month Inventory324273⬇️ -15.74%
Months of Inventory (MOI)9.197.48⬇️ -18.63%

🏖️ What the July Numbers Are Telling Us

🌞 More Listings, More Sales, Higher Prices
July brought a 25% bump in new listings and a nearly 7% increase in sales, signaling strong activity even as locals and visitors hit the lake. Buyers are still shopping, and sellers are feeling confident listing at higher price points—with average list prices jumping to $779,634.

💰 Prices Continue to Rise
Average sale price climbed to $716,973, a 10.19% YoY increase. This shows buyer demand remains solid, particularly in desirable areas and properties offering summer appeal—like outdoor living spaces, lake access, or mountain views.

⏳ Longer Days on Market, But Steady Demand
Homes are taking longer to sell (105 days on average), but with fewer listings overall, the market remains competitive. Buyers are being more methodical, but they’re still writing offers—especially when properties are priced right and summer-ready.

📉 Tightening Inventory = Stronger Position for Sellers
With a 15.74% drop in end-of-month inventory and MOI falling below 8 months, sellers are in a stronger negotiating position, particularly in the sub-$700K range. If this pace continues, August could bring even firmer pricing.


🧭 What This Means for You

For Buyers:

  • Summer is still a great time to buy, but inventory is tightening.

  • Expect competition on well-priced, well-presented properties.

  • Be ready to move quickly, and lean on expert advice to avoid overpaying.

For Sellers:

  • If you’ve been considering listing, now is the time.

  • Buyer demand is strong, especially for homes with outdoor appeal.

  • Homes that are staged, priced competitively, and marketed well are still moving.


🌴 Summer Isn’t Over Yet — Let’s Make Your Move

With warm weather, longer days, and a still-active buyer pool, July’s market offers strong opportunity whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options. The Sherlock Homes Real Estate Team is here to help you make the most of the season.

🏡 Columbia Valley Real Estate Market Update – June 2025 ☀️


Start of Summer Brings Sizzling Sales, Slim Inventory

As summer kicks off in the Columbia Valley, the real estate market is heating up! June brought a wave of buyer activity that outpaced new listings, resulting in tighter inventory and a more competitive market environment. Whether you’re planning a move, an investment, or just keeping tabs, here’s your local market snapshot:


📊 Key Highlights – June 2025 vs June 2024:

  • Sold Listings: 46 homes sold – up 43.75% from 32 in June 2024

  • New Listings: 69 new listings – down 16.87% from last year’s 83

  • Average Sale Price: $529,915 – a slight decrease of 0.6%

  • Average Days on Market: 99 days – up 47.3%, indicating slower pace

  • End-of-Month Inventory: 273 homes – 20.4% less than June 2024

  • Months Supply of Inventory (MSI): 7.57 months – down 22.25%, showing higher absorption


🌞 Start of Summer Market Sentiment

Despite a small dip in average sale price, buyer confidence is strong. With sales up significantly and fewer homes being listed, competition is tightening—especially in the mid-range and entry-level price brackets.

The Columbia Valley’s beauty shines brightest in summer, and so does its appeal to buyers. Panorama, Fairmont, Windermere, and Invermere continue to attract interest, especially from out-of-town buyers seeking recreational or retirement homes.


💡 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

For Sellers:
Now’s a great time to list, especially if your home is priced right and summer-ready. With fewer listings on the market and strong sales activity, well-presented properties are standing out.

For Buyers:
Inventory is slimmer than usual, so be prepared to act fast. The days on market have stretched, but that could create room for negotiation—especially if properties are sitting longer than expected.


📈 Looking Ahead

As we move deeper into the summer season, we expect buyer interest to remain strong, especially in lake-access and view properties. If the listing slowdown continues, we could see further pressure on pricing through July and August.


Thinking of buying or selling this summer? Let’s chat about your goals and how to make the most of current market conditions.
