Dufferin, Kamloops - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Dufferin, Kamloops: Your Neighbour Just Got a Raise. Did You?
If you own a home in Dufferin and you haven't checked your actual market value lately, you might be leaving real money on the table. The city's assessment number is already old news. Here's what's actually happening on the ground right now.
The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos
We've got two pretty different stories playing out in Dufferin depending on what you own, so let's break it down.
Houses - Prices Are Moving, Fast
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Dufferin, here's what's actually happening with houses. The average sale price hit $799,800 last month - that's a 14.8% jump from the month before. That's not a typo. Listings are sitting at $806,200 on average, and homes are selling at 99.03% of list price. Buyers are paying close to full ask, which tells us demand is real.
- Average Sale Price: $799,800 (up 14.8% from last month)
- Average Listing Price: $806,200
- Price Per Square Foot: $379
- Average Days on Market: 37 days
- Properties Sold This Period: 3 (down 40% from last month)
- Sale-to-List Ratio: 99.03%
- HonestDoor Predicted Value: $837,378
- Estimated Monthly Rent: $3,703
- Rental Yield: 5.01%
The one thing worth watching - only 3 houses sold, which is down 40% from last month. Low volume with rising prices usually means one of two things: not enough supply, or buyers getting selective. Either way, if you're a seller, thin inventory works in your favour.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Dufferin houses rank 10 out of 27 for growth in Kamloops - solidly above average. Days on market ranks 6 out of 22, meaning our homes move at a decent clip compared to most of the city. Price rank sits at 9 out of 23 - above average, but not the priciest block in town.
Condos - Steady and Quietly Climbing
The condo side of Dufferin is a calmer story, but don't mistake calm for stagnant. The average sale price is $409,300, with listings averaging $425,000. Buyers are paying 96.31% of list price, so there's a bit of negotiating room - but not a lot. Only 1 condo sold this period, so take the averages with that context in mind.
- Average Sale Price: $409,300
- Average Listing Price: $425,000
- Price Per Square Foot: $384
- Average Days on Market: 29 days
- Properties Sold This Period: 1
- Sale-to-List Ratio: 96.31%
- HonestDoor Predicted Value: $391,494
- Estimated Monthly Rent: $2,046
- Rental Yield: 4.04%
Condo values have shifted 2.03% recently, and the predicted value is ticking up against the 3-month average. On the leaderboard, Dufferin condos rank 7 out of 27 for growth - that's a strong position. Days on market ranks 3 out of 14, meaning condos here sell faster than most comparable spots in Kamloops. Price rank is 5 out of 15 - above average in the city.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Assessment Right Now
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago, calculated using broad strokes across the whole city. It doesn't know what happened on your street last week. The average assessed value for a house in Dufferin sits at $820,122. Sounds reasonable, right?
But the average HonestDoor Price is $846,206 - that's 3.18% higher than the assessment, and it's already up another 1.05% from the previous period. That gap represents real dollars. On an $820,000 property, 3.18% is roughly $26,000 that your assessment is quietly ignoring.
The HonestDoor Price pulls in recent sales, current listing activity, and real-time market signals. It's the number a buyer's agent is actually looking at. Your assessment is what the city uses for tax purposes. Those are two very different things - and right now in Dufferin, the market is running ahead of the city's paperwork.
For condos, the HonestDoor Price is $391,402 - and while it dipped a tiny 0.02% from last period, the predicted value of $391,494 is actually creeping above the 3-month moving average of $390,319. That's a sign of stabilization, not a slide.
The So What - Should You Sell This Summer?
If you own a house in Dufferin and you've been sitting on the fence, the numbers are giving you a nudge. Prices jumped nearly 15% in one month. Inventory is thin - only 3 sales. Buyers are paying 99 cents on every dollar of list price. That's about as close to a seller's moment as you're going to get.
The 37-day average on market means you're not going to get a panic offer on day one, but you're also not going to be sitting there through the fall. Price it right against the HonestDoor Price - not the assessment - and you're starting from an honest, defensible number that reflects what buyers are actually paying right now.
For condo owners, the story is a bit more patient. One sale per period is a thin market, and buyers are negotiating a few percent off list. That said, a 4.04% rental yield and a 29-day average on market means your condo has real appeal to investors if the right buyer doesn't show up immediately. You've got options.
Bottom line - Dufferin is holding its own in Kamloops. If you want to know where you actually stand before making any moves, pull your HonestDoor Price. It's the real-world check your assessment can't give you.
