Is It a Good Time to Sell a Home in Kamloops in 2026?

Selling a home in Kamloops in 2026 can still produce strong results, but the approach is very different than it was during peak markets.

Buyers today are informed, cautious, and selective. Homes no longer sell simply because they are listed. Pricing, preparation, and positioning matter more than ever.

At the Kamloops Home Team, we see a clear divide between homes that sell and homes that stall. The difference almost always comes down to expectations and execution.

I’m Scott McDowell, and alongside Kristin Overton, we help sellers understand where their home truly fits in today’s market. One of the biggest challenges sellers face is anchoring expectations to past peak pricing instead of current conditions.

What makes a home sell today?

Homes that sell well typically:

• Are priced correctly from day one

• Show clean, bright, and move-in ready

• Are positioned honestly against active competition

Kristin Overton often works closely with sellers on preparation, helping them focus on changes that actually influence buyer perception.

Why the first two weeks matter

The first two weeks on market are critical. Buyers are watching closely, and homes that miss the mark early often end up chasing the market.

Selling in 2026 is about precision, not pressure.
