The Nelson & Kootenay Real Estate Report
Nelson & surrounding rural areas · July to September 2026 · medians throughout
Of every home that left the market this quarter, sold or not, split by price. Under $800K the market cleared. Above a million, it was close to a coin flip.
Where homes did sell.
Median days on market, by month.
More selection, less urgency heading into fall. The sold clock also resets on relisting, so real exposure runs longer than it looks.
homes that expired or cancelled this quarter are already relisted and still trying. Quiet inventory, mostly above $800K, that has not cleared. One example: 804 Eighth Street shows as a 14-day sale, but it actually sat 127 days across its earlier listings.
