Summer has arrived in Whistler and there are tons of exciting activities and events happening. Please see the calendar below to plan your Whistler vacation.

Following on the success of WHISTLER’S BEST COMBINED-SEASON ON RECORD 2007-2008, the resort is facing some challenges. The recessed US economy, high fuel prices plus border crossing construction and delays we are experiencing a slower real estate market. Our market is about 30% down in volume of sales this year compared to last year at this time.

The good news for Phase 2 condo hotel owners, the property taxes are reduced by 30% approximately. This will mean higher net revenue to the owners and will be a big help in selling these condos.

Tourism Whistler has provided information for us showing the paid room nights and bookings are on par with last year. We are optimistic that 2008/2009 will be great for the resort. Our ski season was one of the best in the world this past year.

Our market is still moving along in favour of the buyers. The more listings we see the better it gets for buyers. It is quite busy in the resort, many hotels are 100% booked. The weather is really nice which is great for the tourists. We are encouraging sellers to sharpen their prices if they want to sell in this market.

There are many new listings over the past ten days. Click here to view them. Please call or email if you have any questions or comments.
