Greetings from beautiful Whistler BC, here is your Whistler real estate market update!

The weather this summer has turned out to be incredible, it was a slow start but the wait was worth it!  With the amazing weather comes the many visitors, every weekend is packed in the Village.

Let’s take a look at the real estate stats for July 2012, and compare it to previous years:

• Overall, July was a great month, much higher sales volume and $ amount compared to the previous few years.
• Again, the # of listings is the lowest it’s been at this time of year than it has been over the last 5 years!
• Sales to date, higher so far in 2012 than the last 4 years
• What’s selling?  In July Townhomes and Duplexes ran away from the pack, much higher sales volume in those two categories than the previous few years.
