Like most markets around the province, home sales in the Okanagan Mainline and South Okanagan struggled in the first few months of the year, as rising mortgage rates compounded the negative effects of the stress test. However, a rapid and substantial decline in Canadian mortgage rates helped spur a recovery in the late spring that has sustained into the fall. Because of the slow start to the year, sales in the Okanagan Mainline are projected to fall 1.4 per cent in 2019 to 7,300 units, while sales in the South Okanagan are forecast to fall 9.3 per cent to 1,710 units. In contrast to the Okanagan, home sales in the Kamloops area have been trending lower for much of the year. However, as a more affordable region, home sales in Kamloops were not as hard hit by the in the Okanagan Westress are forecasting MLS® sales B20 test and therefore do not have as much Mainline boardup area to rise 4.1toper cent in level 2020of to ground to make in returning a normal 7,600 units. In the South Okanagan, we expect a 5.3 sales activity. per cent increase in MLS® sales in 2020 to 1,800 units and in the Kamloops and District board area, we are projecting sales will reach 3,050 units in 2020, an increase of 5.2 per cent.

November 2019 November 2019 While local fundamentals are strong, the region also relies on demand from Albertan buyers, both for recreational and retirement property. In the Okanagan around Kelowna and Penticton in recent years, Mainline region, sales to Albertans has historically combined with softer demand, has led to rising composed up to 20 percent of total sales. That source inventory of new homes. The total number of new units of demand has been softer in recent years due to a completed but unabsorbed into the market now sits at number of factors, most prominently the struggling its highest level since 2012. Alberta economy and the levying of a speculation tax on buyers in 2018. Asout-of-province demand stabilizes around its long-run average, markets should fall into relative balance, leading to price growth that’s in-line with inflation. For that reason, we are forecasting the MLS® average price in the Okanagan Mainline area will rise 1.6 per cent in 2020 to $540,000, while the MLS® average price in the South Okanagan will increase 1.8 per cent to $437,800. In contrast to the Okanagan, the Kamloops area remains deeply under-supplied. Total listings in Kamloops peaked in 2012 at over 2,000 total listings but have trended at half that level for the past three years. As a result, market conditions in Kamloops are very tight, as reflected by a 30 per cent increase in the MLS® average price since 2014. Fortunately, the pace of new home construction in the Kamloops region has ramped up in recent years and The share of Canadian buyers from outside of BC fell those units are now completing, adding much-needed from nearly 25 per in 2014As tosupply 15 per gradually cent in 2016 housing supply tocent the region. following the crash in oil prices.

On the supply side, the inventory of listings in the Okanagan Mainline and South Okanagan were accumulating throughout most of 2019 but seemed to have plateaued in the spring months as demand recovered. However, significant new construction

Along with lower mortgage rates, housing demand across the region has been getting a boost from strong local economic conditions. The unemployment rate in Kelowna and the wider Thompson-Okanagan development region has been trending lower since mid-2018 and has even fallen below the provincial unemployment rate in recent months. 28
