West Kelowna Condos – Eagle Terrace
DevelopmentsBefore the new year, we wrote about several West Kelowna condos and developments. For instance, Terravita and Sundance Ridge. Continuing with that theme, we wanted to spotlight another amazing condo in the West Kelowna area. The building that we will be featuring this month is called Eagle Terrace. It is yet another condo near the Shannon Lake golf course. Which, is perfect for anyone looking to spend their summer golfing and exploring the outdoors. For more information on Eagle Terrace, continue reading below.
Eagle Terrace is the Perfect West Kelowna Condo!
Eagle Terrace has homes that provide spacious, open-concept layouts. Many of these units have large balconies to ensure you can entertain your guests in the best of the Okanagan weather. Enjoy having a barbeque with friends and family during the summer, or get a hot tub and have a soak in the cold winter months. The view from the expansive windows and balconies will guarantee that you never get bored of waking up in Eagle Terrace!
Furthermore, the suites have high ceilings and modern finishings to make you feel at home. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and crown mouldings. The exterior of the building is reminiscent of a west coast lodge, with large cedar beams and shaker siding.
These West Kelowna condos are in close proximity to several everyday amenities. For example, grocery stores, department stores, hardware stores, shopping, and restaurants. In addition, Eagle Terrace is located adjacent to the Shannon Lake golf course, making it the perfect summer home base. Relax and have fun playing a round of golf and then grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants or wineries. Living in a condo like Eagle Terrace puts you straight into the heart of Okanagan wine country!
Eagle Terrace allows one cat or dog allowed. However, there are some restrictions on these conditions. The building is heated with natural gas and forced air and cooled with central air conditioning. Additionally, the flooring is hardwood and carpet. Monthly maintenance fees do apply in this building.

Market Update on West Kelowna Houses
Real Estate Articles, West Kelowna Real Estate News2022 is finally here, and the real estate market seems to be a hot topic of discussion for many citizens in Canada. West Kelowna houses have been selling for a pretty penny as of late. The seller’s market continues to reign strong across most provinces in the country. Additionally, housing prices are steadily increasing as sellers negotiate for the highest price possible for their property.
In British Columbia, there were over 6,800 residential sales in December of 2021. The average sale price for a home in the province during the past month was a cool $1,033,179. Thus, indicating a 22.7% increase year-over-year. The demand for real estate in provinces such as British Columbia remains high. There is very little inventory available throughout the nation. Many provinces are struggling to keep up with the rate of consumption. In turn, this is creating even less affordable housing for citizens across the country. The lack of affordability is a major concern for many residents in British Columbia and in other provinces. Especially, with mortgage stress test rates increasing last June. Finding a sufficient place to live is very difficult for low-income citizens and first-time buyers.
Assessment values were another talking point this January. Many families received their assessments in early January and found the new value of their home a little shocking. Most properties in the Okanagan shot up a whopping 30% in value. BC Assessment is encouraging those whose properties were affected by the wildfires and floods to reach out to them before the month ends. This is to help you get a better understanding of your property value after such a tumultuous summer and fall.
