A day in the life of a Kelowna REALTOR®

This blog is about me, Paige Guernsey, and the things that happen around my job as a Kelowna Real Estate agent with Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty. I talk about listings, sales activity, market conditions, market trends, promotions, green real estate, and sometimes funny things that happen to me during the course of my day. There's links and videos to great information as well as access to my 2 websites, kelownahome.com and greenkelownarealestate.com

Kelowna real estate too pricey?

Posted by on April 16, 2010 | No Comments

Of the calls I’ve had recently from buyers, a few have made me chuckle. I find it so interesting how perspective affects everything!  A young couple from the UK called on one of my Kelowna homes for sale, in particular an acreage . This property is listed at $629,900, and is a gorgeous log home on 10 acres. Liz and Harty from the UK couldn’t believe how cheap real estate was in Canada. They live in a small “flat” that has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and yard space measuring 25×28 feet. Their current home is on the market for the equivalent of $650,000 Canadian dollars and they’re confident they’ll get it! “Imagine what fun we’ll have rambling around on 10 acres!” they say. Indeed… :)

Another young couple have decided that Kelowna real estate is just too expensive for them. I’ve listed their cute, fully updated, and affordable half duplex for sale. They are re-locating to Quebec where they’re able to purchase a 2 storey home with basement, large yard, and a pool for $149,900. Quite worth the trouble of moving their young family in their eyes.

So whether you see the glass half full or half empty, Kelowna is becoming known world wide and for those of us lucky enough to call Kelowna home, we can understand why people want to be here. If  you still think real estate is expensive in Kelowna, check out this video for a good laugh!
