Even though the weather is beginning to cool, the market remains hot!  According to Kamloops This Week, 362 unit sales recorded (for a value of $128 million) compared to 264 unit sales (for a value of $84 million) sold in August of 2015.

Aberdeen led the way with 43 sales, followed by Brocklehurst at 30 transactions.

As it happens, I have a listing in the favourable subdivision of Aberdeen at 862 Greybriar Court.
