Dufferin, Kamloops - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Dufferin, Kamloops: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

If you own a place in Dufferin and you have not looked at your HonestDoor Price lately, now is the time. The city's assessment says one thing. The real market says another. And the gap is worth knowing about before you make any moves this summer.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Houses - Taking a Breather

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Dufferin, here is what is actually happening. The house market is cooling off. The average sale price for houses sits at $696,940, down 7.4% from last month. Homes are sitting on the market for an average of 60 days, which is longer than nearby Southgate at 54 days. Buyers here are paying about 96.58% of the list price - meaning sellers are giving a little ground to get deals done.

• Average sale price: $696,940 (down 7.4% from last month)
• Average list price: $721,720
• Price per square foot: $365
• Average days on market: 60 days
• Properties sold this period: 5 (up 25% from last month)
• Sale-to-list ratio: 96.58%

The good news? More homes are selling - up 25% from last month. The market is not dead. It is just asking buyers to work a little harder. We are also sitting above average on price in Kamloops, ranking 8 out of 23 comparable neighbourhoods. That is a solid position to be in.

On the growth leaderboard, though, we are honest with ourselves - Dufferin houses rank 19 out of 27 neighbourhoods in Kamloops for growth. That is below average. Values have dipped 0.65% recently and the 3-month moving average of $842,264 is trending down from there. Not a crisis, but worth watching.

Condos - Steady, But Slow Growth Is a Real Concern

The condo side of Dufferin is a different story. Only 1 condo sold this period, and the average sale price came in at $409,300. Condos are moving faster than houses - averaging just 29 days on market - and buyers are paying 96.31% of list price. Stable, but not exactly on fire.

• Average sale price: $409,300
• Average list 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%

On the leaderboard, condo growth in Dufferin ranks 22 out of 27 in Kamloops. That puts us in the bottom tier for appreciation. Values have slipped 3.04% recently, and the predicted market value of $383,717 is running below the 3-month moving average of $390,329. If you own a condo here, that is a number to keep an eye on.

The rental angle is decent though. Condos are pulling an estimated $2,008 per month in rent, with a 4.05% rental yield. Not spectacular, but not nothing either.

The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. Your Tax Assessment

Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from the past. The city assessed the average Dufferin house at $820,122. The HonestDoor Price right now is $837,378. That is a $17,256 gap - and it is 2.10% higher than what the city has on file.

Why does that matter? Because if you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just figuring out if your insurance coverage makes sense - you want the number that reflects today, not last year. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. Your tax assessment does not. That gap is your real-world check.

For condos, the HonestDoor Price is $391,494, up 2.03% from the previous period. Even as the predicted value dips short-term, the longer trend is still moving up. That context matters when you are deciding whether to hold or sell.

• House assessed value (city): $820,122
• House HonestDoor Price: $837,378 (2.10% higher than assessment)
• House HonestDoor Price change: up 0.10% from last period
• Condo HonestDoor Price: $391,494 (up 2.03% from last period)

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

Straight talk: if you are a house owner in Dufferin thinking about listing this summer, the window is open but it is not wide. Prices are down month-over-month, days on market are climbing, and buyers know they have a little leverage right now. That does not mean you should panic - it means you should price sharp from day one. Homes that sit for 60 days in a cooling market tend to get lowball offers. Homes that are priced right on day one still sell.

Your rental numbers also give you a real alternative to selling. Houses are pulling an estimated $3,701 per month in rent with a 5.01% rental yield. That is a strong return. If the sale price is not where you want it, holding and renting is a legitimate play.

For condo owners, the picture is more cautious. With growth ranking near the bottom of the Kamloops leaderboard and values slipping recently, waiting for a big price jump may not be the right strategy. If you are thinking about selling, sooner is probably better than later while the market is still stable.

Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything. It is the most current read on what your place is actually worth in today's market, not what a government form says it was worth last year. That number is your starting point for every conversation you have with a realtor, a lender, or a buyer.
