Greetings from Whistler and Pemberton,
What a fabulous long weekend for the Sea to Sky! Sunshine, entertainment, farm tours, lakes and more. The Village was alive and with Pemberton being a “hot spot” for BC the surrounding lakes and hiking trails were being enjoyed by many.
The market numbers this week are looking a little more balanced. Just 8 new listings for Whistler and 4 for Pemberton. We did want to pass along, although it is not affecting our Whistler or Pemberton markets at this time, BC has expanded the Speculation and Vacancy Tax to Squamish. These changes will not come into effect until January 2023, meaning home owners will need to declare and claim an exemption for the first time in January 2024.
If you are wondering what your property is worth today or thinking of buying, give us a call and we can discuss what might be right for you.
Here are this weeks numbers for you:
Whistler Market
8 New Whistler Listings
11 Sales in Whistler

We look forward to hearing from you.

Community Update:
Whistler named among most profitable destinations for AirBnB hosts doing
long term stays
After the pandemic hit in 2020 and property owners saw fewer rental bookings, there was a shift toward allowing longer term stays in what would typically be nightly rental properties. Whistler appeared atop the list of five Canadian communities where Airbnb hosts stand to benefit most from welcoming long-term guests to stay in their rental units, the company said in a news release about the top North American destinations for “digital nomads” and remote workers. Airbnb defines “long-term rentals” as any stay that lasts 28 days or longer.
