Buying vs Waiting in Kamloops: What Makes Sense in 2026?

Many buyers are unsure whether they should buy now or wait.

Waiting often feels safer, but it comes with hidden costs. Rising rents, missed opportunities, and future competition can all impact long-term outcomes.

At the Kamloops Home Team, we help buyers compare the real cost of waiting versus buying with a clear plan.

Scott McDowell and Kristin Overton often see buyers miss excellent long-term homes because they focus too much on timing instead of suitability.

The right decision depends on your situation, not the headlines.
