The data gives insights into inventory levels, market activity, and trends compared between June 2025 and June 2026, as well as year-to-date performance.

June 2026 Interior Market Update: Invermere and Columbia Valley. 

The June 2026 real estate market across the Interior REALTORS area continued to show a mix of steady pricing and slower sales activity, signalling a more balanced environment for both buyers and sellers. While inventory remains available, the pace of sales has moderated compared with last year, giving buyers a little more breathing room while well-priced listings continue to attract attention.


Sales activity softened

June brought 34 sold listings, down from 53 in June 2025, which represents a decline of 35.85%.  At the same time, new listings were essentially flat at 87, compared with 86 last year, suggesting supply is still coming to market at a consistent pace.

This gap between new listings and sales helps explain why the market feels less competitive than it did a year ago. Pending listings also dropped sharply to 17 from 42, a sign that near-term transaction momentum has slowed.


Prices remained strong

Even with fewer sales, pricing held up well. The average list price climbed to $589,397, up 12.30% from June 2025, while the average sale price rose to $576,956, an increase of 14.74%year over year.

That tells us buyers are still willing to pay close to asking for the right properties. The average sale-to-list ratio improved to 95.70%, compared with 93.94% last year, which is a strong indication that properly priced homes are still moving efficiently.

Time on market improved

Homes are selling faster than they were a year ago. The average days on market fell to 73.97 days from 109.09 days in June 2025, a decline of 32.20%.

That improvement suggests buyers are being more decisive when a property is priced and presented well. It also reinforces the importance of strong marketing, professional presentation, and correct pricing from day one.


Inventory and supply

Active inventory came in at 438 units, down slightly from 443 last year, while months of supply rose to 11.18 from 10.34. In practical terms, that means buyers have more choice than in a tight seller’s market, but the market is still moving enough to support reasonable pricing. The report also notes an average absorption rate of 39 sales per month over the last 12 months, which provides a useful longer-term view of demand.

What this means for buyers and sellers

For sellers, the message is clear: the market still supports solid values, but success depends on strategic pricing and standout presentation. Properties that are overpriced are more likely to linger, while homes launched with the right strategy can still secure strong results.

For buyers, the current environment offers more options and slightly more negotiating room than last year. That said, desirable homes are still selling close to list price, so waiting too long on a well-positioned property can still mean missing out.
