Some homes just have a way of feeling comfortable the moment you walk in. With 3 beds, 2 baths, a living room & a separate den, you have room to spread out. Set up the den as a kids’ hangout, family room, office or gym, while keeping the main living room for quieter evenings or company. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range and breakfast bar that can double as a homework station. Outside, the triangular shaped lot lends itself to a rare three parking spaces and added privacy. There is a spacious workshop/storage shed with 220V power, ready for projects, tools, sports equipment and all the things that come with real life. In the gated backyard, the pace slows down. Enjoy coffee on the deck under the gazebo, or settle into your own little zen corner under the shade of nearby trees. This park offers an 80 lb weight restriction on dogs, and RV/trailer storage. If you’re looking for a home that feels welcoming, offers more flexibility than you might expect, and has an outdoor space you’ll love, this one is worth a look.

For all your housing questions concerning the upcoming election, BC Real Estate Association has launched a new information page on their website.

Housing supply and cost of living are top-of-mind issues for the 2026 Provincial General Election campaign. But what are the key housing priorities for the next BC Government, and how should they handle them?

And then there’s the bigger question:
Are you choosing the right community, or just the right house?
Salmon Arm, Blind Bay, Sorrento, Scotch Creek and Sicamous all feel different.
The right house in the wrong community isn’t necessarily the right home.
That’s the kind of local knowledge I want my clients to have before they buy.
What do you want to know about living in Salmon Arm that you won’t find in an MLS listing? 👇

This one meant a lot. 🤍
A mortgage broker actually called me one day just to tell me that the photos on one of my listings told a beautiful story.
That stuck with me.
I put a lot of thought into how I present a home—not just how it looks, but how it feels.
So hearing that from someone who sees real estate listings every day? Pretty special.
Thank you. 🤍

There’s nothing better than knowing you helped someone find a place that feels like home for them. 🤍
Thank you to my clients for trusting me through the process. I’m so grateful for every person who lets me be part of such a big chapter in their lives.

SOLD — and honestly, this is another serendipitous one. 🤍
1710 11 Avenue NE was one of those listings that I knew was special the moment I walked through the door.
An old home with character you just can't recreate. The kind of place that tells a story before you even know what the story is.
I was completely invested in finding the right person for it — someone who would see the same things I saw in it and appreciate what made it different.
And then, somehow, it all came together.
The right buyer.
The right timing.
The right house.
Serendipitous.
I'm so happy this beautiful old home has found its next chapter, and even happier that I got to be a small part of it.
Some sales are transactions.
Some just feel like they were meant to happen.
Congratulations to my sellers, and to the new owners of a pretty special piece of Salmon Arm history. 🏡🤍
SOLD | 1710 11 Avenue NE, Salmon Arm

This is the kind of house that makes you start planning your weekends before you've even moved in.
Morning coffee on the deck with that view.
Boat days at the lake.
A fire in the backyard.
Friends staying downstairs.
A project in the shop.
Hot tub after a day outside.
And then Monday comes — and it's still your actual home.
This updated 1981 rancher in Blind Bay has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the primary suite, laundry and main living spaces upstairs and three additional bedrooms downstairs.
The walk-out basement gives guests or family their own space, while the extra-tall shop beside the garage gives you room for the toys, projects and gear that tend to come with living in the Shuswap.
And the location is hard to beat — minutes from beaches, boating and hiking.
Recreational property? Absolutely.
Year-round home? Absolutely.
A place where people actually want to come visit you? I'd say so.

Imagine building your house here.
Not someday after years of clearing, grading, figuring out services and starting from scratch.
Here.
The lot is already professionally cleared, graded and surveyed. Power is connected, and water, sewer and storm services are at the property line.
And then there's the view.
This 0.34-acre south-facing lot in Sunset Ridge (Salmon Arm) looks out over Shuswap Lake and the surrounding mountains.
Even better, architectural drawings for a single-family home with garage are included, along with the survey, topographic plans and COGO file. Additional design work for a home with a legal suite and detached coach house is already well underway.
So whether you're picturing a beautiful custom home, a multi-generational setup, a home with rental potential, or simply a place to build something that's completely your own — you've got a serious head start.
This isn't just a piece of land.
It's the beginning of a house you haven't built yet.

For the person who wants a little more room to live.
Not necessarily a bigger house.
Just… more room.
Room for a garden.
Room for projects.
Room for your vehicles.
Room for a heated workshop.
Room for a long driveway and a few mature cherry trees.
This 2-bedroom rancher sits on 0.69 acres in Canoe, tucked toward the back of the property and close to Lund Park, Wright Pond and Canoe Beach.
Inside, you've got a comfortable open-concept living space with a gas fireplace. Outside, you've got the kind of property that gives you options.
And that heated detached garage/workshop?
That's a pretty good bonus for someone who actually likes to do things.
Maybe you're buying your first home. Maybe you're downsizing but still want land. Maybe you just want somewhere you can park the toys and work on your projects.
There's room for that here.

What if downsizing didn't actually mean giving up space?
This one is a little different.
You can have your primary bedroom, second bedroom, two bathrooms and laundry all on the main floor — and still have a third bedroom and bathroom downstairs for guests, family, or whatever life looks like next.
And then there's that BIG storage room downstairs.
Workshop? Hobby room? Office? Media room? More living space? You get to decide.
Add a double garage, low strata fees, a quiet little community, a backyard that doesn't demand your entire weekend, and a transit route nearby.
It's the kind of home that makes sense for someone who wants life to be a little easier — without making their life smaller.
