The president of the Kamloops and District Real Estate Association does not expect the city’s housing market to cool like those in other parts of B.C.

Doren Quinton told KTW February’s local real estate numbers were encouraging. “Last month was pretty stable,” he said. “It was kind of what we were expecting.”
