In a nutshell
The market is extremely strong. Highest # of sales that we’ve seen for a December, and the highest overall sales to active ratio for any month in the history of the Squamish real estate market!  It’s January, usually the market is pretty slow during this time, I can only imagine how busy it will be in the Spring. Time will tell.
