Kamloops sits where the North and South Thompson rivers meet, in the dry interior of British Columbia — a transport and service hub for the region with a semi-arid climate that sets it apart from the coast in both landscape and price.
In September 2026, the MLS® benchmark price in Kamloops stood at $659,100, down 0.1% year over year. The average price, all property types combined, was $680,916 (−5.54% year over year).

What is the difference between a median price and a benchmark price?
A median is the midpoint of what actually sold — half of the homes went for more, half for less. It is a robust measure, but it moves with the mix of properties changing hands, where an MLS® benchmark deliberately does not, so the two should not be compared directly.
