In a nutshell
November was yet again another banner month. The strongest November in the history of the Squamish real estate market.  Townhome sales to active ratio was 160%!!  2020 YTD sales are now the highest they’ve been in the last 4 years, and inventory is down. Things should quiet down over Christmas, I expect January to keep a strong pace but only time will tell.
