Let’s talk about the Whistler and Pemberton real estate markets in the first quarter of 2025.
The Whistler market is off to a slower start this year, with 106* sales in the quarter, down 23% from the 130* sales in Q1 last year. Despite slower sales, there was an uptick in the number of single-family homes sold in Q1 vs Q4 of last year. Inventory continued to rise through the quarter, with a total of 241* listings coming to the market. Overall inventory currently sits at 326* units, up 21% from the end of 2024 and 12% from the same time last year.
The Pemberton market so far this year has kept pace with 2024 sales, recording 20 sales in Q1. There was a notable decrease in single family home sales and a notable increase in townhome sales when compared to both last quarter and Q1 of last year. Inventory increased slightly throughout the quarter, with 62* units currently on the market and 41* when excluding vacant land. Overall inventory levels are down 15% from the same time last year and up 15% from the end of 2024.
From an overall market standpoint, we are experiencing both potential sellers and buyers “waiting and seeing” with the ever-evolving US tariffs, resulting market volatility and the Canadian Federal election at the end of the month. There have been policies proposed by parties as part of their platforms that could have significant impact on our real estate markets. So far we haven’t seen a typical start to the spring market, but we anticipate we will see an increase in activity later this spring after we have some more certainty on the political front.
