Book a CallLiving Here
Lower Mission is one of Kelowna's established residential areas, on the south side of the city along Okanagan Lake. It's predominantly quiet and family-oriented, with a mix of long-time owners and downsizers, beaches and recreation close by, and a settled, low-density character. Day to day, it's more drive-oriented than walkable.

Market Snapshot
May 2026 · Association of Interior REALTORS®
Single Family
$1,045,000 median · 9 sales (May 2026)
- Median CDOM
- 18 days
- Sale-to-list

- Active inventory
- 98
- Months of supply
- 7.5
- HPI (3-mo)
- +3.8%
Lower Mission single family stayed active in May with 9 sales, median right around $1,045,000. Properties took a median of 18 days to find a buyer — about 3 weeks, and sellers are getting 97% of asking, so there's still some negotiation happening but not much. At the current pace there's about 7.5 months of supply against 98 active listings. The HPI benchmark is up 3.8% over three months, so the underlying trend is still pushing higher. Read it as a directional signal more than a verdict — 9 sales is a workable but modest sample.

Lower Mission townhouse had too few sales in May (4) to report a reliable median — under our sample-size rule we don't publish a price from fewer than five sales. The more reliable read is inventory: 46 active listings, about 8.1 months of supply. The HPI benchmark — which isn't computed from this month's sales — is up 8.5% over three months.
