Whistler’s Q2 Real Estate Stats are out!
Control
It is really nice to share numbers that are not all doom and gloom… The market in Whistler is still kicking - as with any statistical survey the person running the numbers has all the power to share with the world their view. In this case I will break the numbers up; this approach allows you to view the segments of the market that are relevent to you.
The Numbers per quarter
Total Sales 1st Quarter 2009 - 65 Total Sales 1st Quarter 2010 – 81
Total Sales 2nd Quarter – 2009 - 107 Total Sales 2nd Quarter 2010 – 123
Looking only at the quarterly sales for 2010 we can see an overall increase in sales of 51.8% from quarter one to quarter two. What is more important than the increase in numbers would be the increase in dollar volume.
1st Quarter 2010 – $66,627,000
2nd Quarter 2010 – $103,520,833
This would be an increase of 55.4% . We found the increase being mostly due to the sales in townhomes and vacant land.
2010 1st Quarter 2010 2nd Quarter
Chalets – 19 Chalets – 21
Condos – 20 Condos – 23
Townhomes - 21 Townhomes – 40
Shared Owner – 13 Shared Owner – 7
Duplex – 2 Duplex – 5
Vacant Land – 3 Vacant Land – 22
- To clarify the number of Vacant land sales we should mention 15 were in Baxter Creek during their launch phase.
The summer is now here and the village is buzzing, real estate agents are hosting open houses and tourists are making their way back up the Olympic Highway.
Walking through the village yesterday I met a charming couple from Montreal – it was their first visit to Whistler – I asked them what brought them here – they said they saw how beautiful Whistler was while watching the Olympics on TV and have decided to move here! We have found most of our buyers this year have been Canadian and primarily from the lower mainland.
The RE/MAX Office is located in Marketplace near IGA and Rogers Video, They are open 9am-5pm.
Happy Negotiating!

Heather it is always good hearing from you. I really think this quarters movement is a bit promising but the concern for me is still the numbers of new listings as a ratio of sales. That being said seeing good growth in Townhomes and Duplexes tells me that there is a lot of local action and interest which should continue to evolve.
