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

Breaking that down into property types: Detached homes = 11%, Condos = 27%, and Townhomes sit at 30%.

  • **This ratio is calculating the monthly sales compared to the total # of listings, basically if there were no other listings how long would it take for the listings to run out.
