Real Estate in West Kelowna is Poised for a Busy Spring!
Home buyers, Real Estate Articles, Seller information, West Kelowna Real Estate NewsThe demand for real estate in West Kelowna is strong!
If you’ve been watching the real estate market closely, then you already know things have been moving quick! Especially when we look at real estate in West Kelowna. The West Kelowna real estate market is always busy, but with the pressures of Covid-19 it seems to be exploding. There also doesn’t seem to be any indicator that it’s going to stop either! It’s a sellers market right now. Which means that inventory remains low. Inventory continues to be a problem in many BC suburbs as we see an influx of buyers from larger metropolitan areas fleeing for more.
What exactly do they want more of you ask? Covid continues to bring forth the desire for home buyers to have more space. They want fresh air and proximity to outdoor space. We aren’t just talking about extra square footage outside either. When we refer to outdoor space, we see that buyers moving to West Kelowna want to be closer to things like hiking, lake activities and vast outdoor space. This is exactly what West Kelowna was built around and why it continues to be in demand for property buyers.
West Kelowna is close to almost everything nature has to offer. Whether rain, snow or Okanagan sunshine we have outdoor activities happening to suit every level of outdoor enthusiast. West Kelowna is surrounded by rolling hillsides that make for some of the best hiking. Bear Creek in particular offers all levels of hikes from intermediate to family friendly. While you’re at Bear Creek you can also pop over to the provincial day park for a picnic and a swim. Okanagan Lake surrounds West Kelowna residents. If you don’t have a view of it, then chances are you live on it!
Our gorgeous little city has access to some great wineries that will get you out and about. An early evening stroll while the sun sets, after an al fresco lunch at Quails Gate is a favourite pastime. As is taking in the art, scenery and architecture at Mission Hill Estates. There is a fantastic and growing list of West Kelowna wineries for you to spend time outdoors when you purchase real estate in West Kelowna.
