Greetings from Whistler,

Whistler is going to be hosting the  BCS Canadian Championships 2019 – Bobsleigh & Skeleton this weekend.  If you have never been to the Whistler Sliding Center, you should definitely go this weekend for the excitement of the Canadian Championships.   Learn more about this fabulous venue and the events on the calendar.   I have been up there and it is really amazing to watch.  The skiing and boarding have been amazing this past week, both Tracey and I went up on the new Blackcomb Gondola and across the Peak to Peak to ski on Whistler.  This is a beautiful glass gondola, it is so great for taking in the breathtaking views.  Finally, a Gondola that goes to the top of Blackcomb!

There are a few seats left to our Whistler Real Estate presentation called The View From Here taking place at the Maury Young Arts Center this Saturday, Feb. 2nd  at 1:00 pm.  This is a fantastic opportunity to hear Headline Speakers, Pat Kelly, President Whistler Real Estate, Helmut Pastrick, Chief Economist Central Credit Union, and  Val Litwin, President CEO BC Chamber of Commerce.  There will be Panel speakers, Mayor Jack Crompton, Barret Fisher, President CEO of Tourism Whistler and Peter Sonntag, Chief Operating Officer, Whistler Blackcomb.  Let us know if you would like free tickets, it is by invite only and you are invited!

Now down to business.  An increase in listings this week brings us to 288 which includes about 45 shared ownership.  There are now 78 Chalets listed in Whistler compared to 50 at this time last year when we so low in inventory.  The Whistler Real Estate Co. has just completed our 2018 in-depth Market Stats for Whistler and Pemberton.  These will be available for us to send online and we would love to share them with you upon request.  The overall number of sales have slowed down however average selling prices remain strong. So, if you are thinking of selling, talk to us now about a market evaluation and timing.
