The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported August 2013 sales activity of all MLS property types improved over the same month last year with levels returning to the 10-year average. “Mirroring the upward trend in home-buying activity and steady year-over-year increase in sales throughout the province since March, total residential unit sales for the Okanagan-Shuswap during August showed the best numbers for the month since 2007,” said Karen Singbeil, a realtor in the Shuswap Zone and OMREB president.
