Anyone looking for a single family home right now in Kamloops will find that $700,000 doesn't go as far as it used to. The Kamloops median residential house price (which does not include condos or mobiles) from February 2021 was $599,900. Compare that to February 2022's median price of $780,000 and it's a jump of $180,100 in just one year.

Have you considered a commute? Home buyers can get newer houses in outlying areas for less money than a Kamloops listing. We've summarized some current properties on the market in some great communities within 45 minutes of Kamloops.
