A report released on Monday, August 21, shows that the Kelowna real estate market is nearing its peak.

Average retail prices in some Kelowna neighborhoods are approaching nearly a million dollars, a double-digit year-over-year increase.

<p>The Vantage Report, published by Vantage West Realty Group, names several Kelowna neighborhoods to see in the future.</p>
<p>The most popular neighborhoods are Black Mountain, Lower and Upper Mission, and West Kelowna Estates, which grew 23% year over year and are expected to continue growing.</p>
<p>“With a beautiful golf course, access to a network of trails, green spaces, and proximity to the Big White Ski Resort, we can expect Black Mountain to continue to thrive,” said agent AJ Hazzi, who writes the semi-annual Vantage Report.  “In The Mission, properties across all property types sell faster and for more money.”</p>

According to Hazzi, the Lower and Upper Mission area is popular with “Vancouver and Alberta buyers” as property values ​​reach millions of dollars.

The Vantage report highlights a downsizing trend in the size of homes in the Kelowna luxury market, with homes ranging from 3,500 to 4,500 square feet.

Of all luxury homes currently selling over $ 1 million, more than half are the new executive-style homes that are typically found on the hills with beautiful views in tow.

Some areas await additional developments that are expected to result in further growth, such as Prospect at Black Mountain as well as Gyro Beach Townhomes, Sienna at Sarsons and The Ponds in Mission.
