The Whistler real estate market remained stable throughout November. Sales were consistent with the previous month, and while we are slightly trailing behind last year’s transaction numbers, recent momentum over the past three months has helped us recover from the slower spring and summer periods. Prices are generally stable across all segments. As we head into winter, Whistler continues to present a balanced market. Buyers now have more options than earlier this year, and well-priced listings are attracting strong interest. If you have any questions about the market or are considering buying or selling, feel free to reach out. I would be happy to discuss how to best capitalize on today’s market.

It’s official! The UHT (Underused Housing Tax) has been removed as part of the federal budget that passed today. This is good news for our non-resident property owners. The UHT was a tax that never made any sense in a resort setting and we are glad to see it eliminated.

Did you know….Whistler is also exempt from the Foreign Buyer Ban, Provincial Speculation and Vacancy Taxes, we have NO Foreign Buyer Tax. Bottom line, real estate in Whistler is a solid long-term investment.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions or if you would like more information on the market in the area.
