As of September 2026 these neighbourhoods sit at eight months of inventory: still on the buyer’s side of the line, and well off August’s thirteen. 27 detached homes sold in September, the most for any September since 2021, against 18 a year ago. Supply barely moved, with 215 homes active against 214 in August and 223 last September. The buyers came back, and the gauge is back on the page. Everything below comes from the Association of Interior REALTORS® MLS® System and is updated monthly. Use the month selector to read any month back to January 2024.

What months of inventory measures

Months of inventory is the honest way to answer “is this a buyer’s or a seller’s market”, because it accounts for both sides at once: how much is for sale, divided by how fast it is selling. It answers the only question that matters — if nothing new listed, how long until the shelves were bare.

Under three months, buyers compete and sellers set the terms. Over six, buyers can take their time. Between the two, neither side has the whip hand. September lands at eight, inside the buyer’s band, but the direction matters as much as the reading: thirteen in August, twelve last September, twenty-two the September before that. It got here the right way too, on more sales rather than on listings disappearing.

The numbers behind the verdict

Set September against the two Septembers before it. Active listings: 288, then 223, then 215. New listings: 92, then 75, then 67. Sales: 13, then 18, then 27. Supply has come down two years running while sales have doubled from the 2024 low. That is what a market working its way back toward balanced looks like, one month at a time.

The Central Okanagan as a whole sat at nine months of inventory in September, the same as last September. These neighbourhoods came in at eight, a touch tighter than the valley, after running looser than it in August. A note on August itself: late-reported sales have restated it to 17 sales and thirteen months, from the 16 sales and fourteen months first published here. Restatements like that are normal, and the month selector carries the current figures.

What this means if you’re buying

You still have room, just less of it than a month ago. Homes sold at 96.3% of asking in September, 3.7% under list, and the median sale took 41 days against 37 last September. So the negotiation is real. What changed is the competition: 27 homes sold in September against 18 a year earlier, out of fewer listings. A well-priced home here has more people looking at it than it did last fall.

The median printed $1,350,000 in September, the highest September median since at least 2021, and I would treat that one carefully. It rests on 27 sales, and a handful of larger homes closing in the same month will lift a median that size without the market underneath moving at all. The steadier reads are sold-to-list and days on market, and neither says prices are running away. You can see what is currently on the market across these neighbourhoods, or start with Upper Mission homes for sale if you already know where you want to be.

What this means if you’re selling

Pricing discipline still decides it. Homes sold at 96.3% of their current list price and 94.6% of their original list price in September, a 1.7 point gap. That is narrower than August’s 2.7, and still well wide of July’s 0.7. Starting too high costs less than it did a month ago. It has not stopped costing.

There were 67 new listings in September against 215 active, fewer of both than last September’s 75 and 223. Fewer sellers competing with you and more buyers actually closing: on these numbers it is a better fall to list into than the last two. If you want an actual figure for your own home rather than an algorithm’s guess, I run one from board data on my home valuation page, or read the selling guide first. How long a sale takes also differs a lot by neighbourhood; I broke that down in how long homes take to sell across the Missions.

How I pull these numbers

Everything here comes from the Association of Interior REALTORS® MLS® System (Matrix), filtered to residential single-family detached homes in Upper Mission, Kettle Valley, Lower Mission and Crawford Estates. Monthly figures are the pooled combined average of those neighbourhoods, because individual months in the smaller pockets are too thin to read a trend from — Crawford Estates recorded 17 detached sales in a whole year. The neighbourhood comparison uses twelve months of sales so the samples are large enough to mean something. Every figure is date-stamped and I do not round anything toward a better story. If you want to check any local statistic the same way, here are four questions to ask before you trust a market stat.

This report is prepared by Braden Koop Personal Real Estate Corporation. NOTE: this representation is based in whole or in part on data generated by the Association of Interior REALTORS®, which assume no responsibility for its accuracy. The analysis is mine. I believe the underlying sales data to be reliable, but it is not guaranteed, and a month can be restated once late sales are reported. Read it as a picture of the market, not as advice about a particular home.
