Greetings from Whistler and Pemberton,

Here we are mid-January with lots of snow, warm conditions and the sunshine is coming! The hotels have been busy and the restaurants bustling. If you are looking for an evening adventure, skating at Olympic Plaza is always a great place to spend some time. We have been lucky enough over the years to have experienced many of the incredible activities offered so, if you are ever wondering about what to do, just ask us!

It feels like the real estate market is picking up this week. We are seeing a few more new listings and the sales still continue to see multiple offers on many properties. Let us know if you have any questions or would like further details on any of these listings or are thinking about listing. Now is a good time to bring your property on the market, before the Spring influx and increased competition. We are always here and happy to chat with you about the market!

Whistler and Pemberton Market Report: Year End 2021

To say that 2021 was a busy year would be an understatement! Sales activity started out very strong, with the first three months of the year seeing 110 unit sales per month.  The rest of the year continued at a steady strong pace – about 70 units per month – only slowing slightly during the Christmas season.
The market broke records in terms of sales volume, exceeding one and a half billion dollars in sales – an increase of 35% over 2020, which was a record-breaking year in itself.

The Pemberton real estate market continued to be strong through 2021 and continued to benefit from two key factors.
The first factor is the historically low-interest rates. This has allowed the working family market, which is so important in Pemberton, to make the move to a first-time home, or a newer, larger home.

The second is the buyer migration market trend in B.C., where homebuyers are leaving urban areas and moving to a more rural environment. Pemberton, with its large farms, excellent recreational opportunities, and small-town feel has benefited from this trend over the past year. With the available properties, including new lots in Tiyata and Sunstone, including the new Duplexes in Sunstone, Pemberton was as ready as it could be to meet the current demand.
Sales activity increased by 43% in terms of dollar volume and 7% in terms of unit sales over 2020.
