2021 Real Estate Market in Whistler Continues to Favour the Seller

Welcome to the 2021/2022 Ski and Snowboard season. After an intensely hot summer and equally wet fall it’s looking like the ski season is off to a fine start. There’s a considerable snow base in the high alpine, and with the help of our extensive snowmaking system, conditions to mid-mountain are good.

Despite intense pressure from many sides, Vail  Corp is sticking to their guns and not requiring proof of vaccination in order to access the mountains this winter. However, unvaccinated skiers and snowboarders will not be permitted entry to on mountain food and beverage facilities. Fingers crossed that we all stay healthy and that our mountain operations and local economy are not impacted by another season cut short because of the pandemic.

For sellers looking to exit the Whistler Market the timing couldn’t be much better.

At the risk of “beating a dead horse” I’m going to repeat once again that we have been and continue to be in the strongest seller’s market that I’ve experienced in my 27 years as an agent in the Whistler area.

Inventory levels are at all time lows (126 active listings at press time versus 600-700 in normal times). The lack of supply coupled with strong demand has dramatically increased property values yet few sellers seem willing to part with their Whistler homes.

If you’re curious about your property value or want to drill down deeper into a specific segment of the market, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. We can discuss over coffee in the Village or on Zoom.

Have a wonderful, fun filled and safe winter season!
