Rose Hill, Kamloops - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Rose Hill, Kamloops: Your Home Is Worth Less Than The City Thinks - And That Actually Matters

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Rose Hill and wondering what is really going on, here is the straight story. The city's assessment says one thing. The actual market is saying something very different. And if you are making any financial decisions based on that assessment number, you need to read this first.

The Vibe: What Is Happening With Houses and Condos Right Now

Let's break it down by property type, because the two stories here are pretty different.

Houses - Taking a Breather

We are in a slow market for houses right now. One property sold in 2026. Just one. It sat on the market for 156 days before it sold, and the buyer paid about 92.83% of the asking price - so roughly $100,000 below list on a typical Rose Hill home. That is not a disaster, but it is a clear signal that sellers need to price sharp if they want to move.

• Average sale price: $1,299,300
• Average list price this month: $1,399,900
• Price per square foot: $357
• Average days on market: 156
• Sale-to-list ratio: 92.83%
• Predicted market value: $879,767
• 3-month moving average: $898,330 (values are sliding)
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,514 with a 4.93% rental yield
• Recent value change: -1.67%
• Neighbourhood leaderboard - Growth rank: 25 out of 27 in Kamloops
• Days-on-market rank: 18 out of 20 (one of the slowest in the city)
• Price rank: 2 out of 23 (one of the most expensive in Kamloops)

The short version: Rose Hill houses are among the priciest in Kamloops, but they are also among the slowest to sell and the slowest to grow. That combination is worth paying attention to.

Condos - A Rare Bright Spot

Here is something we do not see every day. Rose Hill condos are actually climbing. The predicted market value sits at $296,964 and it is trending up from the 3-month moving average of $287,885. Recent value change is up 6.07%, and on the neighbourhood leaderboard, Rose Hill condos rank 1 out of 27 in Kamloops for growth. That is the top spot in the city.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $286,345 (down 3.58% from previous period)
• Predicted market value: $296,964
• 3-month moving average: $287,885 (values are rising)
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,507 to $1,556
• Rental yield: 4.18%
• Recent value change: +6.07%
• Neighbourhood leaderboard - Growth rank: 1 out of 27 in Kamloops
• Airbnb rank in Kamloops: 26 out of 27

The condo segment is punching above its weight on growth. If you own one, that is good news. Just do not count on Airbnb income - at $75 per night with a rank of 26 in Kamloops, short-term rental returns here are near the bottom of the city.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Is the Number That Actually Matters

Here is the thing about your BC Assessment notice. That number is calculated using data from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it is already six to twelve months out of date. In a market that has been moving - and in Rose Hill's case, moving downward for houses - that lag can cost you real money.

The average assessed value for a Rose Hill house is $1,119,777. The average HonestDoor Price right now is $894,467. That is a gap of over $225,000 - or 20.12% lower than what the city has on the books. If you are using your assessment to set a list price, to negotiate, or even just to feel good about your net worth, you are working with a number that does not reflect today's reality.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual transaction data, current listings, and market trends. It is the real-world check against a static government snapshot. For Rose Hill homeowners specifically, that gap between assessed and actual is one of the largest in Kamloops - the neighbourhood holds the number 1 spot for average assessed value in the city, but the market is telling a more cautious story.

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

If you are a Rose Hill homeowner eyeing a summer sale, here is the honest picture.

You own one of the most expensive properties in Kamloops. That is the good news. The harder news is that buyers in this price range are taking their time - 156 days on average - and they are negotiating hard. The neighbourhood growth rank sits at 25 out of 27, which means Rose Hill is not a market where you can afford to overprice and wait it out.

Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Juniper Ridge is cheaper at an HonestDoor Price of $887,680 with similar slow growth. Valleyview comes in at $819,782 and is actually growing slightly faster. Knutsford is the outlier at $1,184,272 - the only nearby area priced higher than Rose Hill. That context matters when a buyer is shopping the area and comparing their options.

The practical advice is simple. Price to the HonestDoor Price, not the assessment. A home listed at $1,399,900 in a market where buyers are paying 92.83% of list is effectively a $1,299,300 home - and buyers know it. Getting ahead of that math with a sharper entry price means fewer days sitting, less negotiating pressure, and a cleaner sale before the summer window closes.
