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

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

• Overall, November 2012 was very comparable to November 2010 and 2009.  There were slightly less sales in units sold, but there was a higher sales $ amount
• The # of listings is MUCH lower 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 November, the big story was the movement of the uber expensive chalets, this skewed the #’s a bit but it’s good to see the big stuff moving!

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

The weather has continued to be absolutely incredible this late summer/early fall!  This is probably my favorite time of year, with a bit of crispness in the air, beautiful blue skies, and the color changing leaves……love it!

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

• Overall, Aug 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 August Chalets were the real difference, much higher sales volume and dollar amount than the previous few years.
