December 2018 Stats:

Sales to active listings = 9% for December 2018 dropping from 22% in November. This figure puts Whistler into a buyers’ market!
Breaking that down into property types: Detached homes = 2% down from 13% last month, Condos = 12%, and Townhomes sit at 15%.

  • **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.
  • Referencing this statistic:  <12% is a buyers market and puts downward pressure on price, between 12%-20% is a balanced market with no pressure on price, >20% is a sellers market with upward pressure on price.
