WHISTLER Real estate activity in Whistler continued to be steady throughout the first half of 2018. The total number of transactions has moderated from the peak levels achieved in 2016 and through the first half of 2017, but strong buyer interest combined with the low number of properties being offered for sale has continued to support prices in all sectors of the market and, as a result, average sales values have continued to trend upwards in 2018. Through the first half of 2018, the total overall number of transactions in Whistler decreased by 23% as compared to the same period in 2017. However, the level of activity is very consistent with that which occurred in the previous six-month period and is similar to the area’s historical activity levels. Sales values have continued to rise, but at a slower rate than in the recent past. In 2018, the average transaction value during the January to June period reached $1,211,482, representing an increase of approximately 5% from the beginning of the year. Single-family home properties continue to be the highest price category in the market with an average value exceeding $3,168,000 which is a 16% increase from the beginning of the year. Although representing only 13% of the total number of transactions done in Whistler, single-family homes represent an excess of 33% of the value changing hands to date. Condominiums and townhouses continue to be the most active part of the market accounting for almost 70% of all sales. The average transaction value for a condominium during the first six months of the year was $623,937, an increase of 4% from the start of the year. Although townhouse activity was slightly slower as compared to previous comparable periods, strong interest from buyers, particularly in larger units, propelled average transaction values upward by 26% since the start of the year, putting the average price at $1,449,000. As we continue through the second half of the year we expect buyer interest to continue to be high and sales activity to keep the number of properties offered for sale low. As always, outside factors such as government policy, interest rates, economic cycles, and exchange rates can have a significant impact on the decision-making process for both buyers and sellers in Whistler. As well, the overall market is small and nuanced, and can react differently than may be expected or experienced in a typical urban market. To stay up-to-date on the specific situation you are interested in, contact one of our local, full time advisors to get stay informed on how the general market trends impact your specific area of interest. Information in this report is based on data available on the Whistler Listing System (July 2018) and is deemed reliable but is not exhaustive. Specifically this information does not include WHA activity, private sales, commercial transactions, or properties not listed on WLS. The report is for general information purposes only and should not be relied on for specific real estate decisions.

PROPERTY TYPE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE PHASE I These properties allow unrestricted owner use. They can be lived in full time or rented out on a long, short, or nightly basis. These properties tend to be condos and townhomes in the Village, Benchlands, and Creekside areas.
PHASE II These properties restrict owner use to 56 days per year - 28 days in the summer and 28 days in the winter. When not in use by the owner, the property is rented out through the on-site rental management company and owners earn a percentage of the revenues from the rental pool. Most of the well-known hotel brands are Phase II properties.
RESIDENTIAL Residential properties are for personal use. They can only be rented out on a long-term monthly, seasonal, or annual basis. Most townhomes, condos, and single-family homes outside of the Village, Benchlands, and Creekside areas are residential properties.

COMMUNITY MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR TIME IN WHISTLER Whistler has so much to offer. Whatever the season there are so many activities to do and things to see, it can be hard to take everything in and one trip just can’t cover everything. Even for long-time locals there are often still things they haven’t done.
THE MOUNTAINS No matter which season you choose to visit Whistler, there are a plethora of mountain activities to partake in. Whistler just happens to be the largest ski resort in North America, so if you come for a winter trip then you should definitely head up to ski or snowboard. During summer, the mountain is home to one of the world’s best downhill bike parks. It may look scary, but we highly recommend giving it a go. If the bike park is too daunting then the valley and surrounding mountains offer a huge range of other biking options. Even if skiing and biking sound a bit too full on, you should not rule out the mountain. Take a trip on foot to explore the hiking trails, ride the Peak2Peak Gondola, and take in some of the most impressive views you are likely to see.
THE EVENTS There are events happening all year round in Whistler, from free concerts to festivals and sporting events. We highly recommend checking out what’s on and getting involved.
THE VILLAGE Take a stroll through the Village to wind down, shop or just get a feel for the town. There is something here for everyone and once you are done exploring, why not hit up Whistler’s après scene?
THE LOCALS Whistler locals are an incredible source of information and insider knowledge. If you have the time, chat to everyone you meet – they are very friendly and who knows, they may even tell you where to find some hidden gems and local secrets.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT Choosing the right real estate agent is a massive decision. There is no right way to go about selecting an agent. The key is to find someone who understands your needs, will be available to you, and whom you can rely on.
1. DO YOUR RESEARCH As with any big decision, it is always important to do your research. Look at real estate brokerages in the area, find out about different realtors, and start gathering recommendations.
2. MAKE A SHORTLIST As you conduct your research, begin making a shortlist of agents that you are interested in. Once you have your list it is time to start interviewing.
3. FIND THE RIGHT FIT To find the right fit you must ask questions that outline your needs. If they confidently answer your questions and fill you with confidence, then you are going in the right direction.

MARKET REPORT PEMBERTON
Real estate activity in Pemberton continued to experience strong buyer interest and rising values throughout the first half of 2018. Although the number of transactions reported was lower than that reported for the comparable period in 2017, this can largely be attributed to a lack of opportunity rather than to any noticeable decline in buyer interest in property in Pemberton and the surrounding area. Overall, transaction values rose by approximately 14% since the start of the year and strong interest is being shown in several new developments that are currently being offered in the marketplace. The values for single-family homes continued to rise, bringing the average transaction value to $883,000 at the mid-point of the year. This is an increase of 5% since the end of the first quarter. Meanwhile, the average transaction value for a condominium hit $385,784, while those for townhouses averaged $593,000. Significant investment is currently happening throughout Pemberton and the surrounding areas, both commercially and residentially. Several new single-family developments, including Sunstone and The Ridge, have come to the market in a variety of areas. New condominium/townhouse developments are being marketed and sold at Crestline, Sunstone, and Orion. These new options within the marketplace are offering buyers a variety of design and living choices. Additionally, a quick drive through the industrial park will confirm an active amount of commercial and industrial investment being made with the opening and/or expansion of many of our local businesses. Pemberton has now been “discovered� and has become a viable alternative to both Whistler and Squamish as an affordable community to live, work, and raise a family. However, Pemberton is a nuanced and highly specialised micro market with features that are unique from those experienced in other areas. This is due in part to its rural nature and the large amount of purely agricultural land. If you are considering buying or selling real estate in the area, be sure to consult with one of our full-time advisors to get the most up-to-date information and stay informed. Information and data in this report are based on data available on the Whistler Listing System (July 2018) and is deemed reliable but is not exhaustive. Specifically this information does not include private sales, commercial transactions, or properties not listed on WLS. The report is for general information purposes only and should not be relied on for specific real estate decisions.

COMMUNITY LIVING THE PEMBERTON LIFESTYLE For many who decide to live in Pemberton it is a lifestyle choice. Whether moving from Whistler, Vancouver, or even further afield, it is in search of a certain way of life. One of things that differentiates Pemberton from Whistler is tourism. While both are beautiful mountain towns, Pemberton locals would have you know that, unlike Whistler, there is no feeling of living in a resort. As a result, Pemberton has a much quieter feel, giving a slightly more relaxed lifestyle. It maintains the atmosphere of a remote mountain town, while still not actually being that far from Whistler and Vancouver. Like Whistler, the Pemberton area offers an incredible landscape with scenic views on all sides. After visiting, even just for the day, it is easy to see the appeal. The Pemberton community is really special and, at the risk of using stereotypes, it truly is one of those places where everyone knows everyone. Many locals say that once you have settled you will not look back and your family will stay locals forever. The people are incredibly diverse in age, culture, and history. Pemberton is a safe and welcoming community, making it a great place to raise a family. Local kids are free to play and adventure wherever they choose with parents knowing they will be safe. Another thing visitors may notice is the plethora of local businesses and shops. It feels like everything is owned and operated by locals. Day to day life in Pemberton is fairly relaxed. The village lies in the valley below impressive Mount Currie. Wherever you live in town, you are sure to be blessed with incredible views. The area is lucky to experience true, distinct seasons with temperatures rising into the high 30s in the summer, yet still never getting too cold in winter. Combining the outdoors and adventure, with serenity and scenery, there is a plethora of activities all year round. Whether attending a local community event such as the farmers’ market or Winterfest, or attending the Pemberton Barn Dance or Slow Food Cycle, there is something for every taste. The Pemberton lifestyle is an outdoor lifestyle with locals enjoying biking, hiking and golf in the summer, along with ski touring, sledding and more during the winter.

FINDING THE RIGHT PROPERTY When looking to buy a property, it can be hard to narrow down your search. There are so many incredible options and it can be easy to get carried away. It is important to remain focussed and really determine which homes are right for your needs. With that in mind, we take a look at some factors that will help you make your buying decision in Whistler or Pemberton.
LOCATION The first thing to establish is location. Many prospective buyers have a specific location in mind and may not be aware of other neighbourhoods or areas that may also match their needs. When looking for a location it is important to be open minded and determine if this is really your biggest priority. Speak to your realtor and listen to their recommendations. It is not uncommon for buyers to find their dream home in a location they would never have looked.
PROPERTY TYPE Property type is a big consideration for all buyers. Are you looking for a condo, a townhome, a chalet, or something else completely? Depending on your requirements this can change dramatically. There are a lot of things to consider when deciding which home best suits your needs. For example, are you looking for a permanent residence, a second home, or a revenue generating rental investment? The answers to these questions will help you narrow down your search. Similar to choosing a neighbourhood, deciding which property type is right for you has a huge influence on narrowing down your search. Ask yourself how you are planning to use the property and speak to your realtor about what type of property will best serve your needs.
NEEDS VS. WANTS One way to narrow down your search is to establish your needs and wants. In other words, what elements are essential and which are just nice to have? This will help you better determine both location and property type. Items to consider are the number of bedrooms, the proximity to the slope, nearby amenities, rental restrictions, and anything else that is relevant to your search. Prioritizing these needs and wants will help you make an objective decision when choosing your new home.
MAKING YOUR DECISION Ultimately, when it comes to choosing the right property, the decision is yours. You will know if a property is what you are looking for. The important thing is to approach the buying process logically and with an open mind.
