Columbia Valley Townhomes.

Listings are spread across a handful of communities, from the resort area at Panorama to Radium Hot Springs near the southern end of the valley. Prices vary a lot from one community to the next, so choosing an area first makes the search easier.

Pricing splits into two main bands. About half of the townhomes are listed under $500K, and nearly all the rest sit between that and $1M, with only a couple above. Invermere has the largest share of listings, with a median ask near $708K. Panorama is close behind in volume but higher, at about $873K. Together those two areas make up roughly two-thirds of what is for sale.

The middle of the market sits at a median ask of about $594K, a useful reference point when comparing individual townhomes. Below it there is a wide choice of lower-priced listings, and at the top a small number are priced well above the rest. Separate from these figures, a few fractional or quarter-share listings are also available. They are a part-year ownership option, with a median ask near $125K and the highest around $138K.

Area makes a clear difference to price. Radium Hot Springs has the lowest median ask, about $447K, and accounts for roughly a quarter of listings. Windermere has a smaller handful of townhomes at a median near $600K, close to the valley-wide middle. Invermere and Panorama offer the most choice, but at higher asking prices.

For the money, the typical townhome offers a multi-bedroom layout with about 1,550 square feet of living space and a build year around 2019, so much of what is listed is relatively recent construction. Because asking prices differ so much by community, it is worth comparing size and age alongside price rather than relying on the valley-wide figures alone. Starting with one or two areas and a firm budget band will narrow the list quickly.
