• Lifestyle neighbourhoods stay competitive

➡️ Premium areas: $1.3M–$2.5M+

Who buys single-family homes?

• Professionals needing more space

• Buyers choosing lifestyle over price

• Homeowners wanting suite income

Strong value neighbourhoods

• Upper Mission & Kettle Valley

• Dilworth Mountain

• Lakeview Heights (West Kelowna)

• Lake Country

These areas stayed resilient even during slower 2024–2025 periods.

🏘 Townhomes in Kelowna (2026)

Townhomes continue to be one of the smartest buys for newcomers because they balance space, affordability, and lower maintenance.

Expected 2026 Price Range

➡️ $720,000 – $780,000
(Some new builds cross $800K depending on design and finish.)

Why townhomes are popular

• Attached garages

• Modern layouts

• Lower monthly costs vs. condos

• Less maintenance vs. houses

• Great resale value

• Family-friendly neighbourhood selection

Top townhome areas

• Glenmore

• Black Mountain

• Lower Mission

• Shannon Lake & Rose Valley (West Kelowna)

• Lake Country

Townhome pricing remained steady from 2024 → 2025, with very little volatility.

🏢 Condos in Kelowna (2026)

Condos remain the most affordable entry into Kelowna’s market.

2025 medians ranged $420K–$460K, depending on age, condition, and building amenities.

Expected 2026 Price Range

➡️ $440,000 – $520,000

• Older buildings remain lower-end

• Newer units and premium walkable areas exceed $550K+

Condos are ideal for:

• Anyone moving from higher-priced cities

Walkable condo zones

• Downtown

• Pandosy Village / Kelowna South

• Lower Mission

A key trend: 88% of new construction is apartments — most purpose-built rentals — which means strata condos may become more limited over time, supporting long-term value.
