No problem!

@@ExploringTheGreatOutdoors844 that’s good to hear! I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews.

Thanks Dustin appreciate it. And Yes it's an amazing place to live, but it comes with it's issues just like everywhere!

Thanks appreciate it!!!

Calgary is a great place and great options, but disagree fully on Kelowna going down the sewer. Lots of new builds coming in to the city and the Okanagan is an incredible place to live!

How’d ya figure lol?

Hi Ms Latifah, current there is a foreign buyers ban until 2027, but there are exemptions for international students, temporary workers and refugee claimants. It’s always highly recommend to speak to an immigration lawyer with real estate knowledge when making this decision. Hope that helps!

You must watch my videos lol I probably say this every second one!

Thank you!!!!!

It’s a great option!!!

Yeah I’ve heard it needs improvement for sure!

Nice to see someone finally say they love it lol and yeah I’ve heard there’s a lot of room for improvement

Agreed John!

Interesting where did you end up going if Kelowna was too cold in the winter???

It has it's areas for sure like most cities, but I find it VERY safe still!

Fair enough!

Chemtrails my ass.

@@ArmyJames one day you will wake from your slumber. Maybe you are too young to remember REAL blue skies. One day you will find out that ignorance is not bliss.

@@trevorgadd8491 Oh yeah, you’ve got all the answers, with your tinfoil hat. lol

@@ArmyJames geo engineering watch . o . r. g.

I think the only dimming is the light between your ears, Trevor.

Totally and trust me I don't want it to feel like I'm "complaining" about it, but I'm trying to pick apart a place that I love living in which is hard enough. Just want anyone coming this way to have their eyes wide open. I think Kelowna is amazing and I choose to live here for a reason!

I'm from Van and live in Edmonton and no they aren't shipping people from Edmonton. If you haven't been keeping up on current events the whole world is suffering from a houselessness crisis including Canada. There is no place that is immune to people on the street and this is a crime for the richest nation on the planet.

@@deeejayeee They asked one of the homeless people where he was from and he stated that he had come from Edmonton, he was provided the bus ticket and a bit of money for his trip. Are you familiar with the Journey Home program? There is quite a bit of information and resources through them.

@@markhoffman I used to work for social services and the only thing they would help with would be a return trip back to your community. This is a completely different statement than, 'shipping their homeless here'. In other words, they aren't gonna send you somewhere you aren't from because you would have no family or support system there to help and it would be just moving the problem to another location. Our big cities have far more resources, jobs and safety nets to help the poor than a small place like Kelowna which is why the poor end up in large cities. As I said before, the housing crisis started with our current leadership in Canada and today there are encampment everywhere...not just big cities.

@@deeejayeee I think everyone can agree on the issues with our current leadership...

You're full of s***.

And people pay a premium to live there. It was a much nicer place over a decade ago.

Definitely disagree haha, but if thats your opinion 👍

@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA You can disagree all you want. Fact is that Kelowna is a very expensive town. I'm not speaking from ignorance, I visit often and have quite a bit of family there. So it's not just my opinion but probably 20 people that have lived there since the 1980's. Also it was much nicer more than 10 years ago. Less developed, less busy and more connected to the surrounding beauty. I think you must be delusional or high. YMMV

@@quintonmacdougall7150 not sure what’s delusional about living where I live and thinking Kelowna is a beautiful and great place to live. Pretty sure I’m in the VAST majority, but it is BC…maybe we’re all just high 😂

I spend more time in Penticton Naramata hill side. Or Vernon going to the mountains. Not alot of reason for me to goto Kelowna.

absolutely, I was even driving out towards Kamloops and some of the rural areas out there are beautiful and have insanely affordable properties if it's what you like

@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA Hat creek ranch is up for auction soon I hear. I am planning on growing in a geothermal greenhouse almost finished proof of concept in city for zone 4b up there. Lots of sun.

@@441rider That's pretty sick actually, tons of beautiful land up there. Best of luck!!

Yes, hopefully we don't see that again!

That's some crazy exaggeration. The record heat in Canada was 49.5C in Lytton on June 29 during the heat dome, and Kelowna topped out at 45.6C. Although yes...that's wayyyy too hot. Did you take the temperatures in the direct sun about 2 feet above black asphalt?

Wrong. BCs highest temp was Lytton 49.6 C and we are the only province to have our record high on this side of WW2

You wont, because it never happened. Kelownas record high temp was 44.6 C

Yeah that's where I believe the majority of it is

For sure, I just find Kelowna is just much more unforgiving when there is work being done

Yeah I feel like they have tons of great amenities now!

Looks like a giant strip mall now.

Agreed! 25 is plenty hot for me lol

Absolutely, it's such a complex issue and I wish I had better solutions!

Agreed and the valley as a whole is spectacular, I'm a big fan of your area too, both Penticton and Naramata. I'll for sure be doing a video down there in the near future you'll have to let me know if there are any areas I NEED to go to!

@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA Are you familiar with a road called Pineview? Turn up from South Main St. We have a new roundabout and a short drive up Pineview gives a great view. I still like Munson Mountain where the Penticton is in white stone lettering. Some of our more mature folks call it pregnancy Mountain, due to high school grads getting in a family way. I am a photographer so in a perfect locale. City Hall did a lot to brighten up downtown so the Okanagan, north end of town is much more family friendly, even at night. Also for at least 6 years the power line over the dam usually has at least one osprey hunting. The reason I like Kelowna is you have quite a few late night businesses compared to here, as we only have about 36k for residential population. We have some good restaurants now and the city has opened food truck service to year round.

Appreciate the feedback definitely gonna start doing more of these style videos in the different areas!

Very interesting, sorry that was your experience!

I have a pros and cons video on my channel where I mention the homeless and forrest fires, but I totally disagree that "gang violence" is a large issue in Kelowna. Not to say there aren't gangs and affiliates here, but I wouldn't say this is something that the area is known for like Surrey.

Hey Jordon I think you were referring to when I was looking at the stats and there was like a couple hundred thousand dollar difference between the "list price" and "sold price"? I see how that could be a bit misleading, that number takes everything that is currently listed and it's average and compares it to everything that has recently sold. If you look at just the sold section you'll see that the number is a lot closer. What you REALLY need to focus on is a stat you can't see there because my head is blocking it, but it's the List/Sell ratio. That's the actual percentage the property sells for of the list price. Right now it's 97.35% here in the Central Okanagan, so since it is still a buyer's market, negotiations are happening, but no crazy 100k differences. Hope that answered your question!

@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA ahh that makes more sense, thanks!

Check out my latest video! Just released this am and it covers the entire city ALL with real footage, switched up my style and got a drone! Let me know what you think!
