MISSION STATEMENT The ongoing mission of the Whistler Real Estate Company LTD is to assist buyers and sellers in making the best real estate decisions possible by providing relevant knowledge, collaboration, professionalism, and a memorable experience.
MARKET REPORT The third quarter of 2020 saw a significant surge in activity in the Whistler marketplace with all sectors returning to pre-COVID activity levels. This activity also moved sales values higher overall and all indications are that market activity in 2020, despite all the uncertainty, will exceed the market performance of 2019. Like most recreational and small resort areas across North America, the Whistler market place experienced a very definite “V” recovery which can be attributed to the pent-up demand created in the second quarter of 2020, perceived COVID safety of small towns, and their political and personal safety, inflationary concerns, and wealth creation in the stock market. The strongest level of interest in the third quarter was in the single-family and townhouse sector, which saw the highest level of activity for a single quarter since 2016. The luxury market (properties over $4,000,000) also reached unprecedented levels with an over 300% increase in activity as compared to the previous quarter. Condominiums continue to lag the other sectors in terms of activity (particularly those that are oriented toward short-term rentals), due to concerns related to tourism; however, it’s important to note that values for condos have not weakened. Currently the average sale value for a single-family home sits at $3,275,000 (median of $2,389,000). Townhomes are $1,409,380 (median of $1,199,000) and condominiums are $879,496 (median of $715,000). *median values are the point which defines the halfway point of total sale activity (50% is above, 50% below)

LEADING REAL ESTATE EXPERTS SINCE 1978
Colour Pale e Whether you’re in the process of furnishing your entire home, redecorating a single room or even just freshening up your sofa by adding new toss cushions; choosing a colour palette is one of the most important and often more challenging pieces of the design process. Start with finding some inspiration. This can come in any shape or form. It could be the nature surrounding you or the fresh bouquet of flowers you passed by on your way home. It can come from pages of books or the endless Pinterest pages you have saved for later. At 122 West, we love to take a lot of colour inspiration from the nature that surrounds us. We love to mix warm and cool tones - that’s what gives us our unique mountain modern style. To create your own colour palette, start collecting pieces that speak to you. These pieces could be anything; the brightest maple leaf on a freshly covered sidewalk, a fabric swatch from your local furniture store or even a photo on your camera roll. What do these pieces have in common? What colour doesn’t work with the others and what can be removed? Use your findings and create a mood board – make a power point presentation, or even a folder on your desktop of different combinations that mix all the tones you have collected. Finally, bring your ideas to life. Start pulling pieces and building out your new space. Keep in mind that it’s okay for your plans to change and evolve; good design often does. And lastly, it’s okay to ask for help! Pop down to 122 West Whistler with your ideas and designs and our knowledgeable staff will be happy to help you make your dream a reality! 8

Kendall Benbow Whistler Native and Animal Lover WREC: How long have you lived in Whistler and been with WAG? I grew up in Whistler, my parents moved here in 1991 and I started Kindergarten that year. I volunteered for about a year with WAG before I got a job there. I’ve now worked here with the animals for about two and a half years. WREC: Why do you think WAG is so important to Whistler? We provide services for animals not just in Whistler, but all up and down the Sea to Sky Corridor and as far as Lilooet and Skatin (SkookumChuck). A lot of our animals are rehomed into the Whistler Valley, so it’s not hard to meet people that have adopted from WAG. In the last few years we’ve taken on a few cases that have made us a home for rehabilitation as well. Our dogs Lola, Marvin, Cal and Sol are a few of our longer term residents. It’s all about finding the right home for these animals and that means not rushing the process. WREC: What does a typical work day look like at WAG? Every day is different! It depends who we have in house that day and what’s going on. We come in and do all the cleaning and get everyone fed and out for their walks. We also manage all the volunteers coming in as well. Some days we’ll get a call that someone is coming in with a litter of puppies or kittens, or someone is coming by with an injured animal. Things can change around the shelter for sure. WREC: What do you do when not working or hanging out with the WAG residents? Whistler has endless possibilities, so I love to ski, bike, hike, paddleboard, enjoy a beer on the patio... I love waking up and being able to do whatever I want to do on those days.
Grace Blok Community Service Worker and Tireless Volunteer
WREC: What’s been your involvement with Whistler Community Services Society (WCSS) since you moved to town permanently? My husband and I just passed our 20th anniversary since moving to Whistler and I’ve been working for WCSS for about four and a half years now. Before that I was on the WCSS board of directors for about three years. I’ve always loved volunteering to support local organizations and events. This was an opportunity to learn how people and businesses work together in a community, it’s a lot more connected than what you would find in a big city. WREC: What’s the goal of WCSS in the Whistler community? Our mission is that we support and advocate for a healthy community. As much as possible, we want to support people and make sure they are getting their basics; food, shelter, clothing, working meaningful jobs. Sometimes that can be practical assistance like helping low income locals apply for a PLAY credit at Meadow Park Sports Centre or referring new mothers to a support group to help with their babies sleeping better at night. WREC: What’s your favourite thing about having moved here to Whistler 20 years ago? I’m more of a summer fan than winter! I do a lot more running, biking and hiking than I do snowboarding these days. I’m selective as to which days I’ll go up the mountain during the winter, I like it when it’s sunny. Recreation aside, I think one of my favourite things is living in a community where you connect with other people daily. There are so many ways for the people here to support each other.

Bob Deeks Whistler Builder and Vice Chair of the Canadian Home Builders Association’s Net Zero Housing Council WREC: You’ve been building homes in Whistler since 1993. What’s the biggest change you’ve seen in building standards and trends over the years? There’s been a real shift in what’s getting designed in Whistler today. Twenty years ago there were a lot of log homes being built, traditional timber houses with traditional finishes like limestone and marble. Today we really see a focus on more contemporary style; a lot less wood and a lot more white palette design. Technology has come a long way as well, we see a lot more automation with things like lights, blinds, security, integrated audio and smart features. WREC: RDC has won dozens of awards (including many Georgies) for home building and renovations. Is it important for you to stay on the cutting edge of the industry? We put a lot of effort into being ahead of the curve on the latest innovations in the building industry. For the last four years I’ve attended construction technology conferences down in the US to better understand where our industry is going. The other thing is that building codes around energy efficiency have changed enormously. Whistler building bylaws are actually a step ahead of the BC provincial standard, so it’s in our interest to build homes that are as energy efficient as possible. WREC: What’s your favourite thing to do with your free time in Whistler? I love skiing and biking so I try to make as much time for that as I can. This winter I’m actually returning to coach ski racing on the weekends for the Whistler Mountain Ski Club. I also love competing, so I signed up for Ironman Canada again this year.
Blake Jorgensen Veteran Photographer and Visual Creative WREC: When did you move to Whistler and when did you start taking photos? I began taking photos as a teenager and moved to Whistler when I was 18. I started shooting full time when I was about 23 years old.
WREC: How has your job as a photographer shifted over the course of your career in Whistler? When I first got here to Whistler, I just wanted to go skiing every day and take photos of my buddies. The growing pains of turning my passion into a career and a business was a whole other step. Professional photography is a lot more accessible than when I started, which was when the industry was just getting going. Now there’s a bit of history and an established industry that younger people can follow and figure out their path a little quicker. The other part is that the tools of digital photography are accessible to everyone from the professional to the beginners. WREC: How much time do you spend at home Whistler versus travelling for work and being off the grid? I’m home a lot more than I used to be. The life of a skiing/outdoor photographer means that you are traveling non-stop and the dream of that job is that your lifestyle is completely infused with your photography and your business. It’s a lot more separated for me now because the jobs are all really big with pre-production and post-production time. Planning and client communication is so much more in-depth to a point where each job can take a month and it might only be a few days of shooting. The office time has grown greatly. When I’m out shooting adventures I’m there more for the experience than the paycheck these days. 20

WHISTLER SOUTH Where It All Began
While Whistler Village is the main hub for the majority of the resort’s amenities, Creekside is where this town entered the history books. It’s where the lifts first spun on Whistler Mountain in 1966 with hopes to secure the Winter Olympic Games. In 1989, local ski racer Rob Boyd crossed the finish line at the bottom of Dave Murray Downhill to become the first Canadian to win gold at a World Cup Downhill race on home soil. When the Olympics did arrive in 2010, Creekside base (in particular Dusty’s Bar) was where spectators and fans celebrated long into the night. The neighborhoods of Whistler South stretch from Nordic (just south of Whistler Village) to the southernmost neighborhoods of Cheakamus Crossing and Function Junction. The choice of homes is equally diverse; cozy condos to stylish chalets, rustic cabins to spacious townhomes and even a gondola-accessed luxury home community! The six-person Creekside Gondola is one of the main arteries to access Whistler Mountain during ski season and as well as the Whistler Mountain Bike Park during the summer months. The base area is home to cafes, bakeries, a fully-stocked grocery store and a range of boutique retail shops. Two of Whistler’s highest-rated restaurants; Rimrock Cafe and Red Door Bistro are within minutes’ walk of Creekside base, as are green space parks on the shores of Alpha Lake and Nita Lake. A few minutes’ south on the highway and you can call into craft breweries, art studios and more specialty shops in Function Junction.
“
I lived in Nordic Estates for 27 years and I love this location. We have the Valley Trail just over the pedestrian overpass taking us to the Alta Lake and the Valley Trail. We are situated between Creekside and the Village making it easy access to shopping ,biking trails, skiing and golfing all within minutes. – Melissa
There are many reasons why this is one of the fastest-growing areas of Whistler, but the convenience and amenities have always been hard to beat. Southsiders grow prouder of their little slice of Whistler every year. WHISTLERREALESTATE.CA

WHISTLER REAL ESTATE
WHISTLER CENTRAL The Best of Both Worlds
Whistler was first settled in 1914 by Alex and Myrtle Phillip, who together opened the Rainbow Lodge Fishing Resort on the shores of Alta Lake. Guests would arrive every summer by railway and be greeted with views of what would many years later become the separate ski resorts of Whistler and Blackcomb. Today, it is still one of the most desirable places to live in the Whistler valley. A short distance from the Village, the quiet streets and cul-de-sacs of Whistler Central are now home to many local families and second homeowners. The convenience of the Village is a few minutes’ drive or a bike ride away, with lakes, parks and community sports fields even closer. One of Whistler Central’s most treasured assets is the Valley Trail, a paved network for walkers, runners, cyclists, skaters and cross country skiers. It links the neighborhoods to the Village and the entire Whistler Valley, encircles the Whistler Golf Course and provides quick access to four different parks on the shores of Alta Lake. Whistler Central allows non-motorised transportation to almost every amenity while offering the breathing space one desires when escaping into the mountains. Much of the inventory is detached houses, ranging from modest log homes to expansive chalets and waterfront properties on the shores of Alta Lake. Vacant lots are also available, allowing buyers to build a dream home in their own vision. A secluded retreat that’s never far from the action, Whistler Central really does offer the best of both worlds.

Julia Murray
Former Professional Ski Racer and Olympian, Plant-Based Nutritionist
WREC: How has growing up and living in Whistler helped you in your career as a professional athlete? Growing up in Whistler made not-so-normal achievements and goals seem normal; looking up to multiple pro athletes, having my late Dad (Dave Murray) as one of the legendary Crazy Canucks, people I knew going to the Olympics before me, incredible athletes all around me… all of this made dreams seem achievable! Not to mention the epic backyard playground we had to help sharpen our skills just by exploring and having fun. WREC: What has kept you living here in Whistler for so many years? There’s something special about Whistler. The people, the energy, the access to nature, the entrepreneurial norm, the beauty, the trails, the mountains, the lakes, the buzz of it all. I absolutely love travelling, but after lots of it, nothing ever compares to home. WREC:What was your favourite memory from the Winter Olympics here in 2010? There are so many! Standing in the start gate listening to the roar of the hometown crowd off in the distance, when I handed the Olympic torch to (Crazy Canuck) Steve Podborski, walking into the opening ceremonies where the energy was insane… I unfortunately had a blown ACL throughout it all, so it was a bit of an emotional and physical rollercoaster but, I’m so happy I decided to pull through to compete. WREC: What is your biggest passion now that you’ve retired from competitive skiing? Helping people eat more plants! I’m a nutritionist and plant-based chef now, with a blog called Hooked on Plants. I’m a co-founder of the 80/20 Plants Nutrition App which has nutrition coaching plus all you need to make the transition towards a plant-based life. Follow @ hookedonplants and @8020plants for tips + recipes!
Jay Pare
WREC: What’s your favourite ski run and where do you love to celebrate for aprés? Why? Dave Murray Downhill, baby! These days, the best aprés spot is our place with the propane fire, tunes + a view:)
Restaurateur and Co-Owner of Caramba! WREC: How did you and your nephew James come to own and operate Caramba together? When James would come up to Whistler as a kid, he said he wanted to open up a restaurant with his uncle one day. I told him he should go learn how to cook and I would manage the front of house, that’s the perfect marriage in the restaurant business. James started his chef career here in Whistler at the Fairmont Chateau and worked in Seattle, Vancouver and was head chef at the Savoy Hotel in London, England before I convinced him to come home to BC to buy this restaurant with me and help me run it. WREC: What sort of cuisine do you specialize in at Caramba? The previous owner of Caramba was Mario Enero, who actually gave me my first job in Whistler as a busser all those years ago. Being from Spain, Mario had a mediterranean style restaurant with some Spanish influence. When James and I took it over we decided that meditarranean was a bit of an outdated term, so we went for more of a European comfort food style with a local flair. We have lots of Spanish tapas, a wood fired pizza oven, and plenty of Oceanwise seafood. WREC: What do you think allows Whistler to have such a thriving food and beverage scene? Whistler attracts world class culinary experiences from all the top restaurants around town. The people who’ve made a career out of it here are the ones who have the passion to be great at what they do. As a world class resort we get a lot of international clientele and we step up with world class food. WREC: Do you have a favourite drink that you like to enjoy after a long shift? I love a good negroni or a nice glass of red!

Wandering through the pedestrian-only Village Stroll you can’t help but feel the electricity in the air as people click off their skis and celebrate their day in Whistler’s renowned aprés scene. This is the central hub for mountain access, adventure activities, shopping at retailers of all kinds and dining at one of the dozens of world class restaurants. All against the dramatic backdrop of the towering Coast Mountains. The Upper Village at Blackomb’s base has its own 10-person gondola (the highest uphill capacity lift in North America) with a buzzing scene of it’s own. Three craft beer taprooms, unique cafes and restaurants and during the summer months, Whistler’s very own Farmer’s Market. The streets of the Benchlands neighbourhood wind up the lower slopes of Blackcomb Mountain with a select few properties offering genuine ski in, ski out convenience. Whistler Village has almost anything you are looking for within walking distance whether it’s hitting the slopes, going golfing, a bike ride through the extensive trail network or quiet riverside walk followed by a relaxing afternoon at the spa. With an animated village vibe at your doorstep, there is never any shortage of entertainment, activity and indulgence in Whistler Village.

“
After several years of driving to Whistler on the weekends, I decided to buy an investment property near Marketplace. I love knowing that when I arrive I can park my car underground all weekend and enjoy a stressfree visit. I’m a few minutes’ walk to everything I need (ten, if I run into friends), and a soak in the complexes hot tub at the end of the day is a great way to unwind after a long day on the mountain! – Megan 604.932.5538

WHISTLER NORTH Where the Locals Love to Live
“
Living in Alpine is amazing. It’s close enough that you
A few minutes’ drive north of the Village and it soon becomes apparent why so many homeowners chose to settle in this part of the Whistler Valley. Quiet streets wind their way up the mountainside and along the shores of the glacier-fed Green Lake. The homes themselves boast some of the most picturesque vistas in the Sea to Sky Corridor, the peaks of Whistler, Blackcomb and Wedge mountains towering above the valley floor and bathing in an orange alpenglow in the evenings. But Whistler North has plenty of amenities in close proximity as well with Whistler’s only sport centre and high school, a world-class golf course, unrivalled access to hiking and biking trails and winter activities such as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The Alpine Meadows subdivision in Whistler North has been voted Whistler’s “Best Neighbourhood” in Pique Newsmagazine for over a decade.
don’t feel disconnected from
Whistler North gives homeowners the gift of tranquility of life in the mountains coupled with quick access to renowned, four-season resort amenities. With a host of home options to choose from, there’s a place for you and your family on Whistler’s northside.
haven’t moved in over
the Village, but far enough away that it has a general quiet and peacefulness to it. After living in several areas in Whistler, this has hands down been my favourite place – there’s a reason I 10 years! – Spencer

Frontier for Adventure
I love living downtown Pemberton. I’m in the heart of it all; wedged between the magical Mt. Currie and thick green forests. It’s a 5 minute walk to everything or I can hop on my bike and head up the meadows to the “Beer Farmers”. If you feel like you want more of the hustle & bustle, you can take the 20 minute drive to Whistler. It really is the perfect balance. – Cory
”
Thirty minutes’ drive north of Whistler lies the Village of Pemberton, brimming with rural charm and pioneer character. Home for millenia by the indigenous Lílwat Nation, Pemberton was first settled by Europeans in the late 19th Century for its rich and fertile farmlands. Pemberton retains much of its frontier identity with farming and agriculture playing a major economic role in the town’s gastronomy scene. With a relatively short commute to Whistler, Pemberton combines more affordable rural living while maintaining resort proximity. The majesty of Mount Currie is unmissable from when you first enter the valley and is visible from almost anywhere in the town or surrounding districts. Pemberton boasts its own access to limitless recreation. The summer features mountain bike trails, a skate park, two golf courses, horseback riding ranches, fishing in the lakes and rivers, hiking in nearby provincial parks and even paragliding over the Pemberton Meadows. The winter boasts some of the best snowmobiling, ski touring and heli skiing in British Columbia. Pemberton locals will argue that their town is the hub for outdoor adventure in the region. All this adventure is complemented by a flourishing food and beverage scene. Sourcing produce and meats from local farms has become a signature of Pemberton restaurants, exemplified by the annual two-wheeled farm tour, the Slow Food Cycle. Whether it’s the wide open spaces or rural village charm, Pemberton has an unmistakable draw for growing families in the Sea to Sky. Choose between a brand new townhome, a detached house ripe for renovation or a vacant lot to build the ultimate dream home, Pemberton is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most desirable communities in southwest British Columbia.

FRONTIER FOR ADVENTURE
Lucas Cruz World Cup Downhill Mountain Bike Racer and Global Pemberton Ambassador WREC: You’ve grown up in Pemberton with access to several world class trail networks including the Whistler Bike Park. What part has that played in your development as a downhill racer? I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the world racing bikes and I still believe that the Sea to Sky is the ultimate place for mountain bikers. I’m very lucky to have grown up here and it has totally shaped my career. Right now I’m sitting in our home gym (a converted horse barn) and we’ve built a pump track, a dirt jump line and a motocross track in the backyard. So I have everything I need to train and hopefully reach my goal of becoming one of the top riders in the world. WREC: You spend time around a lot of younger racers, where do you see their level of riding going in the next 10 years? I have two younger brothers that I ride with, so I get quite a bit of insight on that. Tegan (15) already has the goal to race in the World Cup and he’s focused and training really hard for that. Both Tegan and Levi (9) have definitely surpassed how fast I was riding at their age. That has a bit to do with the technology and the bikes they’re making for kids these days, but also that we’ve grown up watching local riders like Finn Iles make it to the world stage. There’s tonnes of amazing talent coming out of the Sea to Sky, the next 10 years are going to be crazy. WREC: What are your favourite trails in Pemberton and the Whistler Bike Park? In the bike park it has to be the classic Dirt Merchant to A-Line. When I come home from races that’s where I love to spend my time when I’m goofing around and enjoying myself with my buddies. In Pemberton, there’s a trail called Resurrectum in the Owl Creek area that’s set up perfect for shuttling downhill bikes. It’s really fast and perfect for training for downhill races.

Mike Macneil Transplanted Nova Scotian and General Manager of Big Sky Golf Club
WREC: With so many great golf courses in the Sea to Sky, what draws people up to Pemberton to play at Big Sky? The backdrop of Mt. Currie is pretty spectacular and not what you would see at a lot of other golf courses. We’ve also tried to create a family atmosphere here where everybody feels welcome from the time they walk through the door until they head out through the gates. We have a 5-hole Academy course which is all Par 3, a great way to introduce small families, couples or beginners to the game. It’s a good place to get your feet wet before hitting our 18-hole championship course. WREC: What sort of community initiatives do you pursue at Big Sky? For the last number of years (not this year) we have donated the golf course for the day to the Vancouver Police Department and hosted them for dinner for their fundraisers. We try to do that for anything we can help with in the community as well. Last year, we donated our facilities to the Raven Backcountry Festival, which was a fundraiser for the Lisa Korthals Memorial Bursary for aspiring female guides. WREC: What’s your favourite club to use on the Big Sky Golf course? I would say my driver. It’s so appealing visually to see that ball track against Mt.Currie in the background.
