By M Walker

New residents are of retirement age, as well as younger employees. They choose the city because of its mild climate and because of the many things to do and see. The many new residents make staying up with the demand for Kelowna real estate almost impossible.

The marketplace for real estate listing is overheated, thanks to the expanding population. Agents are ready and willing to find new ways to increase the available inventory, particular in the recent years when the growth has been most significant. People who are choosing the community want affordable and aesthetically pleasing Kelowna homes, particularly in the parts of the city which are most desirable. Geographically, the community is quite large with a lower density of population that some larger communities. The issue of urban sprawl has affected the commute times and the composition of the various neighborhoods.

There are ten major divisions in the city. Within each of the sectors, there are multiple neighborhoods. The most recent estimates of population size are around 120,000, but the numbers are changing so rapidly that they could be much higher.

A national fruit-bar firm, Sun-Rype also has established a presence in the community. The type of agriculture and climate makes this part of Canada similar to Napa Valley in Central California.

The city is located in the southern central part of Canada's Western province of British Columbia. The head of Regional District of Central Okanagan is located within the city. The names come from a native word for "grizzly bear". The metropolitan area is the third-largest in British Columbia Province and the 22nd largest throughout the entire country. The nearby communities of West Kelowna, Lake Country City, Peachland, Summerland, and Penticton are connected geographically in describing the Kelowna market update.

The weather which characterizes the area is generally somewhat dry. The summers are hot, with plenty of sunshine. During the winter season, the weather turns cold and cloudy. There are four separate seasons each year. The moderating influence of Lake Okanagan and the protection of sheltering mountains help to keep the area somewhat warmer that is expected of other Canadian cities.
