Rossland transforms from a 19th-century gold rush town into British Columbia’s mountain playground without losing its gritty mining soul. The Red Mountain Resort draws powder hounds from across North America, while summer brings mountain bikers to tackle some of the continent’s most challenging single-track trails.
This isn’t your typical ski town gentrification story. Rossland maintains its working-class roots even as educated professionals flood in—over half the population holds bachelor’s degrees, yet the median household income sits at a reasonable $96,000. The housing market reflects this balance: 77% single-detached homes create stability for families, while the 11% population growth since 2016 shows steady demand without Vancouver-style speculation.
The economic mix tells an interesting tale. Healthcare and education anchor the job market, but manufacturing still employs one in ten residents—a reminder of Rossland’s industrial heritage. Tourism through Red Mountain provides seasonal boosts, though the 10.5% unemployment rate suggests the transition from resource-based economy isn’t complete.
What makes Rossland compelling for mortgage professionals is its position as a lifestyle magnet with staying power. The climate has warmed significantly over recent decades, extending the growing season and making year-round living more appealing. Retirees and vacation home buyers consistently target this area for its mountain access and small-town authenticity.
The community sits in that sweet spot where recreational amenities drive real estate demand, but prices haven’t reached the stratosphere. Properties here appeal to both permanent residents seeking mountain lifestyle and investors eyeing recreational real estate trends.
Tekamar offers our complete suite of mortgage products in Rossland with a maximum LTV of 60%. The combination of steady population growth, diverse housing stock, and recreation-driven demand creates the equity cushion we need while serving borrowers in this unique mountain community.

“Their credit report reads like a horror novel, but the house was just renovated and is worth a lot…”

Here’s a funny thing about lending based on Line 15000 of your Notice of Assessment: It’s a neat little box to underwrite against. Works great if you’re a salaried employee. Not so great if you’re running a fishing charter in Campbell River where thres fishing season, and the rest of the year.

“The appraisal came back as ‘property type: other’…”
Here’s a truth about real estate that nobody wants to admit: not everything fits in a box. Banks have boxes. Nice, tidy boxes labeled “single family home” and “condo” and “townhouse.” Their computer systems literally don’t have a dropdown menu option for “converted church with commercial kitchen” or “geodesic dome on 40 acres.”
We’ve funded...

“Subjects came off their current home last week but their new place closes Friday…”
Here’s a funny thing about bridge financing: everyone thinks it’s complicated. It’s not. Someone needs to close on their new house before their old house sells. Or their sale fell through after they removed subjects on their dream home. Or they found the perfect downsizer condo but haven’t listed the family hom...

Moving is supposed to be exciting. New town, new job, new chapter. So why do banks act like you’re asking for their firstborn when you need a mortgage?
“You haven’t been at your new job for thre months”
“Your self-employment income doesn’t count in a new market.”
“We need to see established a year if you are part time contract - even if you’re working 40 hours under your new role”
