It was recently published on PadMapper that Kelowna has the 10th highest rental rates in Canada. Another way of looking at it is Kelowna has the 10th highest rental incomes in Canada.
We found this information on a castanet blog post which you can find here: http://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/171191/Top-10-in-high-rental-prices
When you look at the current prices in the Lower Mainland and add on top of that a new 15% foreign investor land transfer tax; it won't be a surprise to see a fair amount of money flow into the Okanagan by investors looking for a good deal.
Right now you can buy roughly 3 income properties in Kelowna for the price of 1 tear down home in Vancouver. We also don't have the supply to support all the buyers in the region so you can expect the housing prices to continue to go up.
In another post from Castanet (http://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/172215/More-buyers-than-properties#.V6FU8PFotZ8.facebook) they touch on the data regarding the amount of buyers vs the suplly available in Kelowna. My personal view is that with the huge demand, low supply, new lower mainland 15% foreign investor tax and a continued low interest rate for mortgages; the housing prices will continue to climb in Kelowna for at least a few more years unless something drastic happens.

PadMapper的最新数据显示基洛纳是加拿大位居第十的高租金城市。
你可以在Castanet网站上找到这些信息：http://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/171191/Top-10-in-high-rental-prices
如您所知，现在大温地区的房屋价格非常高昂，加上新的15%的外国买家过户税，您不难想象接下来会有大量的资金流入奥肯那根地区。
现在您在温哥华买一栋老房子的价格可以在基洛纳地区买大概3个房子。基洛纳地区的房屋供应小于需求，所以您可以期待房价会继续升高。
另一篇Castanet的文章（http://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/172215/More-buyers-than-properties#.V6FU8PFotZ8.facebook）触及到基洛纳买家的数量和房屋供应的比较在。我个人的看法是，庞大的需求，低的房屋供给，新出台的大温地区15％的外国投资者过户税加上贷款持续的低利率;基洛纳的地产价格在接下来的几年将继续攀升，除非发生一些不可预期的变化。
