If you live in Kamloops, you already know why people love it here: wide-open space, strong community, and a lifestyle built around nature, family, and freedom.
But what you may not know is this — Kamloops and surrounding communities like Tobiano are increasingly on the radar for high-quality buyers from the Lower Mainland, Alberta, and even internationally.
We’re Don Blocka and Marianna Kindrachuk, residents of Tobiano and real estate agents with Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. After decades of success selling homes and land in Calgary, we’ve now committed fully to Kamloops — because we believe this is BC’s most undervalued lifestyle market.
Here’s why that’s about to change.
1. Kamloops and Area — Including Tobiano — Are No Longer a Secret
The days of Kamloops being “just a pit stop” between the coast and the Okanagan are over. With remote work, rising prices in Metro Vancouver, and a growing demand for lifestyle properties — buyers are looking for:
– Acreages with privacy and views
– Ranches with water licenses and grazing leases
– Lock-and-leave homes with access to golf, hiking, and the lake
Kamloops and area, including Tobiano, check all the boxes, offering a unique mix of lifestyle, land, and accessibility. With amenities growing and prices still reasonable compared to other BC markets, buyers from the Lower Mainland, Alberta, and beyond are starting to take serious notice.
