Dufferin, Kamloops - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Dufferin, Kamloops: Your Neighbour Just Got a Better Price Than the City Thinks

If you own a home in Dufferin and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, here's the short version: the city's assessment is already behind. The real numbers tell a more interesting story - and depending on whether you own a house or a condo, your next move looks pretty different.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Houses - Taking a Breather, But Still Holding Value

Let's be straight with each other. The house market in Dufferin is cooling off. The average sale price for houses sits at $752,325 this month, which is down 22.9% from last month. That's a notable dip. Listings are averaging $761,050, and buyers are paying about 98.95% of asking - so they're getting a small discount, but sellers aren't getting crushed either.

• Average sale price (houses): $752,325
• Average list price: $761,050
• Price per square foot: $321
• Average days on market: 52
• Properties sold this period: 4
• Sale-to-list ratio: 98.95%

Here's the thing though - 52 days on market sounds slow, but we're actually moving houses faster than Southgate, where properties sit for 70 days. So while the price trend is softening, demand in Dufferin isn't dead. The predicted market value for houses is $841,966, which is slightly down from the 3-month moving average of $848,603. The market is adjusting, not collapsing.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Dufferin houses rank 22 out of 27 for growth in Kamloops right now. That puts us near the bottom of the pack for appreciation. But we rank 5 out of 23 for price - meaning we're still one of the pricier spots in the city. That combination tells us this is a market where value is holding even if momentum has slowed.

Condos - A Quieter Story, But a Steadier One

The condo side of Dufferin is a different conversation. Only 1 condo sold this period, so we're working with a thin slice of data - keep that in mind. But what we do see is actually encouraging. The predicted market value for condos is $395,746, and that number is trending up from the 3-month moving average of $393,685. Small move, but it's moving in the right direction.

• Average sale price (condos): $409,300
• Average list price: $425,000
• Price per square foot: $384
• Average days on market: 29
• Properties sold this period: 1
• Sale-to-list ratio: 96.31%

Condos are selling in 29 days on average, which ranks 6 out of 14 in Kamloops - solidly middle of the pack. Growth ranks 11 out of 27, which puts condos in above-average territory compared to the rest of the city. And our condo prices are actually beating nearby Tru, where the average condo sits lower. If you own a condo in Dufferin, the story right now is quiet stability - not fireworks, but not a fire sale either.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago, built on a formula that doesn't know what happened on your street last Tuesday. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales and current market signals.

For houses in Dufferin, the average HonestDoor Price is $836,522. The city's average assessed value is $820,122. That's a $16,400 gap - and the HonestDoor Price is 2% higher. If you're making any financial decision based on your tax assessment alone, you're working with a number that's already stale.

Yes, the HonestDoor Price for houses has dipped 0.65% from the previous period. For condos, it's down 3.04%. The market is being honest with us - which is exactly the point. You want the real number, not the comfortable one.

• House HonestDoor Price: $836,522 (down 0.65% from last period)
• City assessed value (houses): $820,122
• HonestDoor is 2% above the city assessment
• Condo HonestDoor Price: $383,717 (down 3.04% from last period)

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Dufferin and you're thinking about listing this summer, the window is open - but it's not wide open. Prices are softer than they were a month ago, and buyers know it. They're paying just under asking, and they're taking their time - 52 days on average. That means your pricing strategy has to be sharp from day one. Overpricing right now will cost you time and probably money.

The rental yield on houses sits at 5.00%, which is a decent return. If selling feels uncertain, holding and renting is a real option. Estimated rent for a house comes in around $3,720 per month. That's not nothing.

For condo owners, the picture is a bit calmer. Values are ticking up slightly, days on market are reasonable, and you're priced above average for Kamloops condos. If your life is pushing you toward a sale, the conditions aren't bad. Just know that buyers paid 96.31% of list price recently - so build a little room into your number.

Bottom line for Dufferin this summer: houses need a smart list price and a patient seller. Condos are in a steadier spot. Either way, check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else - because the city's assessment is not the number that wins you a deal.
