June Momentum: Okanagan Enters Peak Summer Season
June marks a pivotal point in the seasonal calendar for the Okanagan, as the region moves into the early height of summer. Outdoor activity becomes more consistent, supported by increased tourism, a fuller calendar of events, and the expansion of seasonal business operations. The month reinforces the Okanagan’s role as a key summer destination while setting the tone for peak seasonal and economic activity in the weeks ahead
Residential Market Overview
According to the Association of Interior REALTORS®, a total of 1,494 residential unit sales were recorded across the region in June 2025. This marks a month-over-month improvement from May’s 1,482 units sold.
Kadin Rainville, President of the Association, notes:
“June brought a welcome rebound in residential real estate sales, suggesting that the market is regaining its footing after a sluggish spring. While we’re not yet back to historic levels, the positive momentum is notable given the lingering economic uncertainty from unresolved trade policies, which have weighed more heavily on other markets in the province.”

A total of 1,494 residential unit sales were recorded across the Association region in June, coming in slightly above May’s 1,482 units and up 8.5% compared to units sold in June last year.
