Tru, Kamloops - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Tru, Kamloops: Your Neighbour Just Got a Raise. Did You?

If you own a home in Tru and you haven't checked your property value lately, you're probably sitting on more than you think. The numbers are moving in your favour - and the city's tax assessment is almost certainly not keeping up. Here's the real picture.

The Vibe: What's Actually Happening in Tru Right Now

Let's split this into two stories, because houses and condos are telling very different ones.

Houses - Strong, Steady, and Selling Close to Ask

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Tru, here's what's actually happening. Houses are holding firm. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $1,115,157 - up 4.58% from the previous period. That's not a fluke. That's real equity building in your walls.

• Average sale price: $1,129,200
• Average list price this month: $1,129,900
• Price per square foot: $377
• Homes are selling at 99.91% of list price - buyers are paying almost exactly what sellers are asking
• Average days on market: 27
• Predicted market value: $1,066,300 - up from the 3-month average of $1,054,376
• Rental yield: 4.60% with an estimated rent of $4,393 per month
• Airbnb potential: $226 per night - ranked 3rd in all of Kamloops

That 99.91% sale-to-list ratio is the number we should all be paying attention to. It means this isn't a market where buyers are slashing offers. Sellers are getting what they're asking for. The 27-day average is a touch slower than nearby West End at 21 days, so we're not in a frenzy - but we're not cooling off either. Call it a steady hand.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Tru houses rank 2nd out of 27 neighbourhoods in Kamloops for growth rate. That's a top-10% finish. Price rank is 3rd out of 23, meaning we're among the most expensive addresses in the city. That's not a warning - that's a flex.

Condos - A Moment to Watch, Not Panic

The condo side of Tru is taking a bit of a breather. The HonestDoor Price averages $369,892, up 4.31% overall - but the predicted market value of $354,605 is actually dipping slightly below the 3-month moving average of $358,742. Values have shifted by -2.17% recently, and the growth rank sits at 21st out of 27 neighbourhoods in Kamloops.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $369,892 (up 4.31% from previous period)
• Predicted market value: $354,605
• 3-month moving average: $358,742
• Estimated rent: $1,877 per month
• Rental yield: 4.10%
• Airbnb potential: $97 per night

A 4.10% rental yield is still moderate and respectable. But if you own a condo in Tru right now, this is a moment to watch the trend - not ignore it. The short-term dip doesn't erase the longer-term price gain, but it does mean timing matters if you're thinking about selling.

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

Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice. It's a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it's already old news. The market doesn't wait for paperwork.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, listing activity, and neighbourhood trends. For Tru house owners, that means the difference between a static government number and a live reading of $1,115,157 - with a 4.58% upward move already baked in. That gap between what the city thinks your home is worth and what a buyer would actually pay today? That's money left on the table if you don't know about it.

Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check. It's what your neighbour's house actually sold for, run through a model that updates as the market moves - not once a year, but continuously. For anyone in Tru right now, checking your HonestDoor Price takes two minutes and could change how you think about your next move.

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

For house owners in Tru, the case for listing this summer is genuinely solid. Here's why.

• Buyers are paying 99.91% of list price - you're not leaving much on the table
• Growth ranks 2nd out of 27 in Kamloops - demand is real
• Values are trending up from the 3-month moving average
• At $377 per square foot, Tru is priced at a premium - and buyers are still showing up

The window isn't slammed shut, but 27 days on market tells us this isn't a bidding-war frenzy either. Price it right from day one and you'll sell. Price it with wishful thinking and you'll sit. The data says the sweet spot is right around current list prices - and buyers know it too.

For condo owners, a little patience might pay off. The short-term dip in predicted value suggests now isn't the peak moment. If you can hold a few more months and watch the trend reverse, you'll be in a stronger position. If you need to move now, price competitively and lean on that 4.10% rental yield story to attract investor buyers.

Bottom line - Tru is one of the stronger addresses in Kamloops right now, especially if you own a house. Check your HonestDoor Price, know your number, and make your move with real data behind you.
