🎃 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.

☀️ Columbia Valley Real Estate Market Update – August 2025

Savoring Summer’s End: A Balanced Market with a Competitive Edge

As August winds down and we trade lake days for light jackets, the Columbia Valley real estate market is showing signs of balance—but not without its own late-summer momentum. With strong sales volume and an uptick in prices, August brought just enough heat to keep things interesting for both buyers and sellers across Invermere, Windermere, Radium Hot Springs, Fairmont, and the surrounding communities.

Here’s your warm-weather wrap-up before we roll into fall:


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

📊 MetricAugust 2024August 2025% Change
Sold Listings3245⬆️ +40.63%
New Listings6873⬆️ +7.35%

End-of-Month Inventory326285⬇️ -12.58%
Months of Inventory (MOI)10.196.33⬇️ -37.87%

🌻 Summer Ends with a Bang, Not a Whimper

🔥 Sales Surge
Sales jumped over 40% compared to last August—a clear sign that buyers are still active, even with back-to-school on the horizon. With 45 homes sold and only 73 new listings entering the market, buyer demand is outpacing supply.

💰 Prices Are Climbing
Average sale prices rose 6.23% year-over-year, and homes are now selling for 95.41% of their asking price—up nearly 2.5%. This shows buyers are willing to pay closer to list price, especially when inventory is tight and options are limited.

⏱️ Days on Market Drop
Homes sold faster in August, with average DOM dropping from 105 days to just over 80. That’s a nearly 24% reduction—proving that well-presented and well-priced homes are moving swiftly.

📉 Shrinking Inventory = Opportunity for Sellers
Active listings are down 12.5%, and MOI dropped from 10.19 months to 6.33—a shift from a slow summer 2024 to a balanced, and slightly seller-favourable, market in August 2025.


🧭 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

📦 Buyers:

  • The end of summer offers less competition than the spring peak, but good listings are moving quickly.

  • Be ready to act fast and lean on local insights to make your offer competitive.

  • Consider looking at listings that have been on the market a bit longer—there may be hidden gems with negotiation room.

🏠 Sellers:

  • It’s still a great time to list. With DOM decreasing and prices increasing, late-summer sellers are reaping strong results.

  • If your home shows well and is priced right, chances are it won’t sit for long.

  • September is often a second wind in the market—get ahead of the fall rush.


🛶 Final Thoughts: Paddle Out While the Water’s Still Warm

Whether you're selling a mountain-view retreat or looking for your lake-access getaway, August 2025’s numbers show a market that still has life left in it before the leaves start to fall. With balanced conditions and plenty of motivated buyers and sellers, now is a great time to make a move.
