If you have been thinking about buying property in North Americas premiere four seasons resort, now is the time to do it! Read below and I will show you why.

Have you been wondering what the Real Estate market in Whistler, B.C. was like in 2013? You have come to the right place! Here I will break down the Median Sale Price, Listing  Inventory, List Price vs Sale Price and Sales Volume for Whistler Chalets, Condo's, and Townhomes.


The number of sales and dollar volume are up and listing inventory down. In addition compared to a year ago most Property-Types have experienced a slight gain in value ( approximately 5%) with the exceptions of Condo-Hotels and Shared- Ownership.

The vast majority of buyers continue to be from Greater Vancouver and local. For example of the 67 sales in November foreign buyers only made up 13% 
(USA: 3 / UK: 2 / Singapore: 2 / Hong Kong: 1 / France: 1).

Overall the total number of sales January to November this year equals 608 with a dollar volume of $435M compared to last year of 551 with a dollar volume of $369M.
