Greetings from Whistler and Pemberton, 

Summer in the mountains has not disappointed us this year!  It is hard to remember the last rainy day here in Whistler or Pemberton. It is so nice to wake up to sunshine everyday although we do know the province needs some rain.  Don’t forget the Free Summer Concert Series every weekend in the Olympic Plaza, get yourself a spot on the grass and have a picnic before the concert or movie nights start.  Next big event for Whistler is is Crankworx, one of the biggest events of the summer starting July 21st– 30th. Check out the schedule online and get set for an amazing show with talented athletes from all over the world competing right here in our Whistler Bike Park!

Our second quarter stats and market update are now available for you. As we often get asked, “where are the buyers coming from” the graph below confirms for Whistler over 85%, for the first half of the year, are Canadians and 100% for Pemberton. The statistics below are a great overview of where we are compared to the first quarter as well as this time last year.

In Whistler, there were a total of 151* sales in Q2, with 78% of those coming in April and May. While still historically low, inventory increased throughout the quarter, rising 13% from 205* units in April to 232* units in June. There was notable activity in the luxury market in Q2, with 11 sales over $4M, compared to 7 in Q1, with a high sale price of $19M!

Year to date, Pemberton has had 17% more transactions and 25% more dollar volume in sales than the market at this same time last year. The Bank of Canada has an interest rate announcement tomorrow, we are all waiting to see if they go up, stay the same or start to come down. If you have questions on anything or would like more specific details on segments we are here to help!

Here are the links to the past 7 day’s numbers:
We look forward to hearing from you and wish you and your families a  fabulous week.
