Short answer: Radium's median sale price rose about 4% to $352,500 over the past twelve months, and sellers achieved 96.5% of asking. But a third of Radium's recorded sales aren't homes at all — they're fractional resort intervals, and leaving them in makes the market look far weaker than it is.
First, the thing that distorts every Radium number you'll see.
Radium recorded 231 sales over the past two years. Only 156 of them were whole properties. The other 75 are fractional and quarter-share interval sales — most at the Bighorn Meadows resort on Bighorn Boulevard — trading between $4,900 and $89,000, while whole units in the same buildings start at $249,000. They're a legitimate product, but they're a different product. A one-eighth share of a resort condo isn't comparable to owning a home. Include them and Radium's median collapses to something in the low $200,000s. Exclude them, and you get the real market. Every figure below excludes them
The year in numbers
Volume fell 38% — the sharpest drop of any area in the valley. Prices held
and edged up slightly.
Radium is the valley's attached-housing market
Roughly 70% of Radium sales are condos and townhomes.
No other area in the valley is structured this way — Windermere and Invermere Rural are overwhelmingly detached, and even Panorama has a broader mix. Both attached categories rose. Townhouses at 98.3% of asking were among the tightest-trading product anywhere in the valley this year. Detached homes went the other way, down about 9%, though that's 15 sales dropping to 8 — thin enough that it should be read as a soft signal rather than a firm trend.
What's unique about Radium
It's where the entry point actually exists.
58% of Radium sales were under $400,000 this year. In Invermere, that figure was 21%; in Windermere, 18%. If someone wants into the Columbia Valley under $400,000 and doesn't want bare land, Radium is realistically where that happens.Prices held while volume fell hard.
A 38% drop in sales with prices up 4% is unusual. It suggests sellers weren't forced — people who didn't like the market simply didn't list, rather than cutting to move.
Newer inventory performs, but the stock is aging.
Homes built since 2020 achieved 99% of asking, versus 97% for the 2000s-era product that makes up the bulk of Radium's market. With 102 of 156 sales built between 2000 and 2010, most of what trades here is now fifteen to twenty-five years old — an age where deferred maintenance starts to show up in negotiations.
The lot market is thin and soft.
Building lots traded at 92–93% of asking on very low volume. This isn't an active land market.
Radium's activity runs April through September, with April the single busiest month — earlier than the rest of the valley, which peaks in May and August. October through March is genuinely quiet. The early-season pattern is worth noting for sellers: listing in March to be positioned for April buyers is a different calendar than the lakeside areas.
What this means
If you're selling: attached product is your strength here. Townhouses achieved 98.3% of asking and condos 96.8%, both up on last year. Detached is softer and thinner. And with volume down 38%, the buyer pool is genuinely smaller — pricing at launch matters.
If you're buying: this is the most accessible market in the valley, and it stayed accessible while Invermere's entry-level tier shrank. Negotiating room is limited on townhomes but somewhat better on detached and land.
If you're comparing: be careful with any Radium statistic you see that doesn't mention fractional ownership. Averages that include quarter-share intervals will understate this market by a wide margin, and most published summaries don't separate them.
