❄️ November 2025 Market Update: Shifting Seasons, Shifting Sentiment

As snow starts to blanket the mountains, the real estate market in the Columbia Valley is cooling—but not frozen.

The days are shorter, the air crisper, and holiday lights are beginning to glow throughout Invermere, Radium, Fairmont, and Windermere. November brought some noticeable shifts to the residential market, with rising inventory and slower sales pointing toward a more balanced (or even buyer-friendly) landscape heading into winter.

Let’s dive into the numbers and see what this seasonal transition means for you:


📊 November 2025 vs November 2024: The Stats You Need to Know

MetricNov 2024Nov 2025% Change
Sold Listings2619⬇️ -26.92%
New Listings1830⬆️ +66.67%
Average List Price$577,471$660,422⬆️ +14.38%
Average Sale Price$570,712$641,308⬆️ +12.36%
Sale-to-List Price Ratio98.83%97.11%⬇️ -1.74%
Average Days on Market (DOM)74.08 days108.47 days⬆️ +46.43%
End-of-Month Inventory228313⬆️ +37.28%
Months of Inventory (MOI)7.6512.58⬆️ +64.47%

🧣 What’s Driving the Market?

📉 Sales Slide, Inventory Climbs
November saw only 19 homes sold—down nearly 27% from the same time last year. Meanwhile, new listings jumped by 67%, and inventory reached 313 active listings, the highest in over a year.

❄️ Market Cool-Down Is Official
With 12.58 months of inventory, the Columbia Valley has officially moved into buyer’s market territory, where supply outweighs demand. Properties are now taking an average of 108 days to sell—a nearly 50% increase.

💰 Prices Remain Resilient (For Now)
Despite the cooler pace, average sale prices still rose 12.4% year-over-year, showing the Valley’s long-term value holds strong. But sellers should note: the sale-to-list price ratio dropped to 97.11%, which means buyers are negotiating harder.


🔑 What This Means for You

🏠 Sellers:

  • Expect longer days on market and more price-sensitive buyers.

  • Pricing strategy is key—overpriced homes will sit.

  • Highlight winter-friendly features like energy efficiency, hot tubs, and garages.

🔍 Buyers:

  • You have more choices and stronger negotiating power than we've seen in months.

  • Be patient—motivated sellers are out there.

  • This is a great time to secure your dream home before the busier spring season hits.


🌨️ Winter is Here—But So is Opportunity

As the Columbia Valley transitions into its winter wonderland, the real estate market offers a unique chance for buyers and sellers who understand the shift. With more inventory and slower competition, savvy buyers can make confident moves, and sellers can still attract attention with the right prep and pricing.

Let us help you navigate this market with confidence—whether you’re looking to cozy up in a new home or prepare to list in the new year.

🎃 October 2025 Market Update: Tricks, Treats & Real Estate Shifts 👻

The Columbia Valley Market Shows Signs of a Spooky Shift…

October crept in with frosty mornings, fall colours—and a few chilling twists in the Columbia Valley real estate market. While sales remained relatively strong, a cooling in buyer urgency and a climb in inventory signalled a return to more balanced conditions. Still, some “treats” await for well-prepared buyers and sellers alike.

Here’s your ghoulishly good breakdown of October’s real estate stats across Invermere, Radium Hot Springs, Windermere, Fairmont, and beyond:


🧛 October 2025 vs October 2024 – Frighteningly Fresh Stats

MetricOct 2024Oct 2025% Change
Sold Listings4434⬇️ -22.73%
New Listings4159⬆️ +43.90%
Average List Price$614,105$743,961⬆️ +21.15%
Average Sale Price$580,125$687,858⬆️ +18.61%
Sale-to-List Price Ratio94.46%92.46%⬇️ -2.12%
Average Days on Market (DOM)86.57 days96.97 days⬆️ +12.00%
End-of-Month Inventory268308⬆️ +14.93%
Months of Inventory (MOI)6.099.06⬆️ +48.77%

👀 Ghosts of Market Trends

🧟‍♂️ Sales Slump
Compared to last October, sales fell by nearly 23%. This slowdown may spook some sellers, but don’t panic—this is a normal seasonal shift as buyers start bundling up for winter and become more selective.

🎁 Inventory: A Treat for Buyers
Inventory jumped 15% and months of inventory climbed to 9.06 months. That’s the highest we've seen in over a year—giving buyers more choice and room to negotiate.

🧙‍♀️ Prices Still Brewing Higher
Despite fewer sales, prices remain strong. The average sale price rose by 18.6% year-over-year, though the sale-to-list price ratio dipped slightly. Sellers may need to manage expectations as more competition emerges.

🕯️ Longer Days on Market
Homes are lingering about 10 days longer than they did last October. It's a sign the market is cooling—but not freezing. Proper pricing, staging, and marketing remain critical.


🧟 What Buyers & Sellers Should Know

🎃 Buyers:

  • You now have more listings to choose from and stronger negotiation power.

  • Keep your eyes peeled for stale listings that may be open to price adjustments.

  • Get pre-approved and be ready to pounce when you find a good fit—fall and winter can still offer solid buying opportunities.

🦇 Sellers:

  • Expect longer timelines and more pricing competition.

  • That said, prices are still historically high—and a well-presented home will stand out in the growing inventory.

  • Consider listing before holiday distractions kick in or start prepping for the new year market surge.


🏡 Final Thoughts: Don’t Be Spooked, Be Strategic

As the fog settles over the Columbia Valley, one thing is clear: we’re entering a more balanced market, not a haunted one. Whether you're buying your first home or preparing to list, this season offers opportunity—with the right game plan.

Need help making sense of the market? We’re here to help you navigate every twist and turn—without the fright.
