Kamloops Real Estate Insider Podcast2025 Kamloops Realestate In Review And What To Expect In 20262025 Market Snapshot: The Numbers
Across Canada, there were 470,313 residential sales in 2025, representing a 1.9% decline compared to 2024.
In British Columbia, we recorded 70,233 residential transactions, down 5.7% year over year, reflecting a more cautious market environment provincially.
Kamloops, however, told a slightly different story. The market recorded 2,391 residential transactions—only eight fewer than 2024, and 52 more than 2023. In other words, our local market remained remarkably stable relative to broader provincial trends.
From a pricing standpoint:
Canada’s average sale price in 2025: $673,335
BC’s average sale price: $964,371
Kamloops’ average sale price: approximately $800,000, with a benchmark price of $664,600, closely aligned with the national average
