Osoyoos is home to Canada's warmest freshwater lake and sits at the southern tip of the Okanagan Valley near the US border. The resort town attracts buyers from across Western Canada seeking waterfront vacation homes, retirement properties, and investment real estate. Osoyoos home prices range from $500,000 for condos to $2 million+ for Osoyoos Lake waterfront estates.

Osoyoos is a popular vacation home market, meaning many buyers are purchasing second properties and will pay the full PTT with no exemptions. Buyers who are relocating to Osoyoos as their primary residence may qualify for first-time buyer exemptions if purchasing new construction under $835,000. The resort condo and strata market in Osoyoos is active, with many units priced in the $600,000–$900,000 range.
