It’s a common misconception that winter is a slow season for residential sales, but Kelowna-based Fortune Marketing knows better. As the sales agency for The Grove Townhomes in North Glenmore, Fortune has witnessed extraordinary interest in the development since the launch of sales in September 2015. Currently in the pre-construction phase, The Grove is more than 70% sold in less than 5 months of sales.

Located adjacent to the Glen Park Village Shopping Centre, The Grove will consist of 52 modern townhomes upon completion. With pricing starting from $359,900, the two & three bedroom units have been scooped up by a diverse pool of buyers, ranging from investors and retirees to young professionals & growing families. For two such clients, Will & Darwin Baerg, their home purchase was truly a family affair. Will & his father, Darwin, each made a decision to purchase separate units at The Grove.

First-time homebuyer Will explained why he was sold on the development:

“The Grove was the ideal choice for me because of the amazing location. I can walk to the nearby grocery store, restaurants, & shopping or drive downtown, to the airport, or the beach in 10 minutes! While house hunting, I found that comparable units often had hidden costs & fees. At The Grove, everything I wanted was already included in the base price and the strata fees were quite reasonable.”

Will’s father, Darwin, owner of Fraser River Rafting in Yale, BC was similarly impressed with what The Grove had to offer stating:

“I couldn't pass on The Grove. As an out-of-town buyer I was initially skeptical but after working alongside Fortune Marketing and doing some research, I quickly found there is nothing like The Grove out there. I think once these units are built, everyone is going to want one.”

In the Okanagan, the rapid population growth, steadily increasing value of homes, a stable local real estate market, & low interest rates have led to confident buyers ready to invest in a new or second home. Kelowna shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, nor does interest in The Grove.
