Whistler Real Estate

Check out all of the current listings for Whistler by going to my website http://www.whistlerluxuryproperties.com/ Whistler is starting to see an increase in activity as prices overall have seen a decline, buyers are seeing value in some of the listings that have been on the market for some time.  In particular, we have seen an increase in the sales of chalets (single family homes) with limited inventory as we move into the spring/summer buying period, there will likely be some additional inventory as we move through the summer/fall period, however, prices tend to rise during that period.

Condo sales have also been strong since the start of 2011, ahead of 2010, which is an indication of the increased demand we are seeing for full time residences.  The Cheakamus Crossing neighbourhood has now provided a large amount of accommodation for full time residents that previously rented condos and now many of these landlords have decided to sell, I would expect to see more of this in 2011, as the rental market softens (more inventory available, and lower rents expected) and the new mortgage rules kick in.

Phase I rental condos have seen an increase in activity since February and I would expect that this will continue for March and April.  Prices overall have dropped, buyers are looking at some great values and this window of opportunity is not likely to last forever.

We have a limited supply of townhomes in Whistler and as a result we are seeing an increase in sales for some of these prime properties.
