Selling a socket set in Kelowna
Kelowna sits on a long lake in the middle of wine country, with a dry, hot summer climate that is unusual for the country and ski hills within half an hour. It has grown fast on retirement, tourism and more recently technology, and wildfire smoke is now a regular feature of late summer.
Almost everything here turns over seasonally. Water equipment is bought in spring and sold in autumn, ski gear does the reverse, and the retirement and tourism economies keep both moving faster than the population alone would.
The lake divides the region and the bridge is the only crossing, so agree which side before the time. Summer traffic through the centre is heavy and parking near the waterfront fills early.
Kelowna, in British Columbia, has around 145,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kelowna
