Why people love Coldstream

Coldstream is its own municipality, right beside Vernon at the north end of Kalamalka Lake, the "lake of many colours." It was incorporated in 1906 and had about 11,200 residents in the 2021 census. It feels semi-rural, with ranch land, orchards and big lots, yet downtown Vernon is only about 10 minutes away.

The lake is the heart of it. Kal Beach is the local favourite for summer swims, Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park has trails, viewpoints and quieter beaches, and the Okanagan Rail Trail runs along the lakeshore for walking and cycling. Coldstream Ranch, founded in 1863, still runs cattle in the valley.

Selling a home in Coldstream?

If you're thinking about selling, I can tell you what your home is worth in today's market and what buyers here are looking for. Here are the questions sellers ask me most.

What is my Coldstream home worth?

I'll prepare a comparative market analysis using recent sales of similar homes in and around Coldstream, adjusted for your home's size, condition, updates and views. It's free and there's no obligation. Request a free home valuation or call or text Sarah, my AI assistant, at 604-227-4810.

How long does it take to sell in Coldstream?

That depends on price, condition and the season. When we meet, I'll show you how long similar homes have been taking to sell right now, and how pricing affects it.

What should I fix before listing my Coldstream home?

Focus on what buyers notice first: fresh paint, small repairs, clean windows, tidy landscaping and good lighting. Skip big renovations unless they clearly pay back. I'll walk through your home and tell you what's worth doing.

Should I sell before I buy my next home?

It depends on the market and your finances. Selling first gives you certainty; buying first lets you take your time. I'll help you plan the timing, including subject-to-sale offers and bridge financing options.

What does it cost to sell a home in BC?

Commission in BC is always negotiable. My standard fee is 6% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the balance, plus GST, shared equally with the brokerage that brings the buyer. On an $800,000 sale, for example, that's $6,000 + $21,000 = $27,000 plus GST. That covers a lot of work behind the scenes, from me and from the technology I put in place, all aimed at getting you the best price and the easiest possible sale. Your other costs are legal or notary fees and any mortgage discharge costs or penalties. In BC the buyer, not the seller, pays property transfer tax. I'll give you a net-proceeds estimate before you list.
