The Association has completed an MLS® Data Consolidation project, merging the databases of four former real estate boards into a single, unified system. This consolidation enables the calculation of statistics using a standardized methodology across all regions within the Association.

For example: the single-family home category for Kamloops and Kootenay regions now excludes lakefront and acreage to align with the standardized methodology.

As a result of differences in calculations and definitions, historical statistical releases cannot be directly compared with future monthly reports. While both the previous and current methodologies are accurate, they are fundamentally different. To ensure consistency and comparability, all regions within the Association boundaries have been aligned to use this new standardized methodology as of October 2024.
