Another Wilden Success Story: 168 Skyland Drive

How a Clear Strategy and Local Expertise Delivered the Right Result

Some homes sell because of timing. Others sell because of strategy. This one sold because we combined both.

When I listed 168 Skyland Drive in Wilden, we were entering a shifting market — where interest rates had tempered buyer urgency and only the best-positioned homes were standing out. That’s when a strong plan, local knowledge, and attention to detail make all the difference.

I’m Braden Koop Personal Real Estate Corporation (PREC), REALTOR® with RE/MAX Kelowna, and this is the story of how we turned a premium Wilden listing into a successful sale.

A Home Designed for the Wilden Lifestyle

168 Skyland Drive wasn’t just another property — it was a home that truly reflected what Wilden living is all about.

Located on one of the most desirable streets in the community, this residence offered:

• Sweeping valley and lake views from every major room

• Custom craftsmanship and contemporary architecture

• A spacious open-concept layout ideal for entertaining

• A private walk-out lower level with covered patio and landscaped yard

• Proximity to Wilden’s network of trails, Hidden Lake Park, and natural greenspace

The home combined elegance with warmth — the kind of property that needed storytelling, not just staging.

The Market Challenge

By the time 168 Skyland hit the market, sales activity across Kelowna had slowed. Even well-priced homes were taking longer to find buyers.

The goal wasn’t to chase the market down — it was to out-position the competition. That meant:

• Using data to identify the precise buyer segment for this home

• Leveraging professional presentation that aligned with Wilden’s brand of luxury

• Creating targeted exposure across both digital and agent-to-agent channels

We priced it strategically to invite attention while maintaining the premium value it deserved.

How We Found the Buyer

Marketing brought awareness — but relationships closed the deal.

Through consistent communication with top Kelowna agents and my established buyer network, we were able to connect with the right match — a buyer already familiar with Wilden’s reputation and lifestyle.

Within weeks, the right offer came forward. Negotiations were smooth, professional, and focused on mutual success. Soon after, we had an accepted offer and a firm sale.

In a market where many listings sit for months, this result came from deliberate action — not luck.

Why This Sale Matters

This sale proves what’s possible when strategy and network align.

It’s not just about listing a home — it’s about:

• Understanding what drives buyer behaviour in your specific price range

• Presenting your property with care and precision

• Having strong professional relationships that open doors behind the scenes

For sellers in Wilden, this is the kind of process that protects equity and creates momentum — even in a slower market.

The Result

Today, 168 Skyland Drive is officially SOLD. Another successful sale in one of Kelowna’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

The sellers can move forward with confidence, and the buyers get to experience everything that makes Wilden so special — community, nature, and craftsmanship. See the media here https://www.bradenkoop.ca/168skyland
