WHISTLER Interest in the Whistler real estate market remained strong throughout the first half of 2017 as sellers continued to enjoy the benefits of a marketplace with low numbers of properties being offered for sale combined with strong levels of interest from buyers and investors. The historically low number of properties being offered for sale has constrained sales activity below those levels achieved in the first half of 2016; however, sales activity has been very consistent over the last 12 months and we expect another above average year in terms of activity. As a result of the low number of properties being offered for sale and the continued strong interest from buyers, the total reported value of all transactions in Whistler through the first half of 2017 increased by almost 35% as compared to the previous six month period (July to December 2016). In addition, the average value for an individual transaction also increased by over 26% (to $1,144,309) over the course of the first half of 2017 when compared to one year ago when the average value sat at $904,360. Breaking the numbers for the first two quarters of 2017 down further shows increases through all major market segments. The average price of a single family home transaction sits at $2,729,000 due largely to an increased focus on higher priced properties throughout the first half of the year. Condominiums also saw a sharp rise in average value (currently sitting at $611,081), while the average price of a townhome also saw upward movement (to $1,060,419). Meanwhile, the luxury market remained active with 13% of all transactions so far in 2017 being valued above $2,000,000. Moving forward through the remainder of the year and for the foreseeable future, the market conditions we are currently facing (low supply and high demand) will continue to be the factors that drive market activity. General and local economic conditions suggest that we will see continued buyer/investor confidence going forward and changes in interest rates should not negatively impact the Whistler marketplace. It is also unlikely that the new government in Victoria will do anything that would compromise Whistler’s contribution to the tourism brand of BC. Whistler’s natural beauty combined with both a strong tourism program and Vail Resorts’ name recognition will continue to strengthen interest in the area going forward. The real estate market in Whistler is highly dynamic and nuanced and now, more than ever, it is important to work with a full-time local advisor who monitors the constantly changing marketplace and can advise you in the specifics of our very specialized market.

REAL ESTATE FAQ BUYING A SECOND HOME IN WHISTLER If you are thinking of buying a second home or investment property in Whistler, it is important to familiarize yourself with the various options available and, even more importantly, to think about how you plan to use that piece of dream real estate once you have purchased it. If you are looking to enjoy your property for a little getaway each season, you will likely be interested in a different type of property than if you are looking to enjoy your property for longer periods. With this in mind, here is a quick look at some of the property types Whistler has to offer.
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES In Whistler, residential properties range from chalets to vacant building lots, to condos, townhomes, and duplexes. These properties are mostly found in the many neighbourhoods that surround Whistler Village and Creekside. These properties are perfect for those who don’t want to rent and/or are looking to come up to Whistler often or for long periods. Rentals in residential properties are typically restricted to yearly or monthly long-term rentals.
RENTAL PROPERTIES There are three types of rental properties in Whistler that can be rented on a weekly or nightly basis. These properties have rental covenants registered on title by the municipality that regulate their usage. Phase I properties tend to be condos and townhomes in the Village, Benchlands, and Creekside areas. This zoning allows owners to enjoy unlimited personal use of their property. This means that owners may live in the properties full-time or rent them out on a long, short, or nightly basis. However, when the owner is not using the property, it must be made available for rentals. Owners who choose to do short-term rentals can either manage their own rentals or utilize a rental management company of their choice. On the other hand, Phase II properties restrict owner use to 56 days per year (28 in the summer and 28 in the winter). When not in use by the owner, the property is rented out on a nightly basis 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. An additional form of rental property is shared ownership. For the most part, these are condo-style properties in the Village, Benchlands, and Creekside. Owners of these properties can enjoy personal use of their condo during their allotted week(s) each year. If the owner decides not to use their suite, it is rented out through the on-site rental management company and the owner earns a portion of the revenues from the rental pool for those days.

One of the most sought-after ski resorts in the world today, Whistler was originally a popular fishing destination. It was on the northeast corner of Alta Lake that Alex and Myrtle Phillip opened the Rainbow Lodge Fishing Resort in 1914. It wasn’t long before the Phillips found themselves with the most popular resort destination west of Banff. 28 WHISTLERREALESTATE.CA 604.932.5538

MARKET REPORT PEMBERTON Much like the other real estate markets throughout the Sea to Sky corridor, Pemberton is dealing with a limited supply of properties available for sale while, at the same time, buyer interest in the area continues to grow. This has led to lower levels of sales activity, a drop in the amount of time it takes a typical property to sell, and a rise in average transaction values. Although some new medium and low density buildings and developments are expected to come to the marketplace in the next 12-18 months, the market will continue to favour sellers and it is expected that prices will continue to move up, tempered only by affordability concerns. Although the number of transactions occurring in the Pemberton market continues to be relatively consistent, total activity has dropped compared to a year ago due to the reduced numbers of properties being offered for sale. Average values, however, have risen in all sub-markets in the area as buyers continue to pursue the more affordable options in both the village and surrounding area. Overall, the first half of 2017 saw approximately $40,000,000 worth of reported transactions and the average value of those transactions increased by 6% to $459,600. Single family transaction values have risen 10.9% since the start of the year and now sit at $669,000. Average condominium values have risen to $327,800 and the average townhouse transaction is now valued at $467,500. Bucking this trend, houses located on acreage parcels have fallen to an average value of $822,800. However, this was largely driven by the types of sales occurring in the first six months of the year and should not be interpreted as a systemic drop in values. It is important to note that individual property values throughout Pemberton may deviate from these numbers significantly as the amount of sales data available at this time of the year is limited due to the ‘micro’ nature of the marketplace and the wide variety of styles and features offered by properties within the marketplace. Inquiries for all types of properties in the area are strong and the demand for larger, rural properties remains largely unsatisfied as those few properties that do come to market sell quickly if properly priced. Pemberton is a small, dynamic, and highly nuanced market that requires the services of a full-time local expert to dig out the best opportunities in a timely manner and to avoid frustration in finding a property. Call any of our local specialists for more information. Information and data in this report are based on data available on the Whistler Listing System (July 2017) 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.

GETTING TO KNOW THE PEMBERTON AREA Located just a short 30 minute drive north of Whistler, Pemberton is nestled in the valley below the impressive backdrop of Mount Currie. Unlike Whistler which, as a yearround resort, can often have a crowded and busy atmosphere, Pemberton is a true mountain town. There is no resort feel here. Pemberton offers a much quieter pace, giving a slightly more relaxed lifestyle. While it maintains the atmosphere of a remote small town, it is never far from the action that Whistler and Vancouver have to offer. The area offers a welcoming, friendly community. It truly is one of those places where everyone knows everyone. Many locals say that once you have settled in Pemberton, you will not look back and your family will stay locals forever.
THE NEIGHBOURHOODS The Pemberton neighbourhoods each have their own feel and range from the vibrant town centre, to remote outlying areas like Birken and D’Arcy. Property types come in all shapes and sizes, from condos to family homes, and from remote cottages to expansive estate properties. The Village is the heart of Pemberton, featuring all of the amenities you could possibly need. There are shops, cafés, and restaurants, all built in a distinct frontier style, which fits perfectly with the pastoral setting. This area is ideal for those looking to be at the centre of the action, while still enjoying the benefits of a small town feel. Moving just outside the Village is The Pemberton Meadows. Located along the Lillooet River, surrounded by farm and equestrian land, you will find some impressive estate properties built on large lots that are perfect for those looking for a large home in a quiet area. Voted the most popular neighbourhood in Pemberton for several years running, The Glen is home to many young families. The area is conveniently located just off Highway 99, with easy access to the Village and all of its amenities. For those looking to escape, Lilloet Lake, Birken, D’Arcy and Devine offer huge expanses of land and easy access to a plethora of lakes and recreational activities. Purchasers in these communities will find a mix of cabins, single-family homes, vacant lots, and acreages.
WHY MOVE TO PEMBERTON? There are many reasons to move to Pemberton, but the most common is to settle down and get away from the crowds of Whistler. It is often said that Pemberton is where Whistler kids go to grow up and, while that is certainly true, there are also many Pemberton families that go back for generations.

COMMUNITY
Another motivating factor for many people is affordability. Over time, many Whistler locals find themselves moving north where their real estate budget will stretch a little farther. Pemberton offers a huge range of recreational activities that are on par with those in Whistler, which means you don’t have to sacrifice proximity to the outdoors. With backcountry adventure right on your doorstep, nature is never far away. Choosing a new place to live is an exciting but daunting decision, but living in Pemberton is a truly incredible experience. If you crave the lifestyle of a mountain town, a close knit community, great schools, and a plethora of activities, then Pemberton may just be the place for you. Pemberton may have its own unique, laid back lifestyle, but everyone works hard while enjoying the wonderful location. You can stand almost anywhere in town and be blessed with incredible views of Mount Currie, which draws you in with the call of the outdoors. The lifestyle here is focused around happiness and enjoying each day with friends, family, and adventure.

No matter your budget or lifestyle, there is a resort property suited to you and there is a way to realize your own Whistler dream. Imagine having all the benefits of owning a scenic alpine cabin or cozy suite at a fraction of the cost and without the hassles associated with managing a co-owned property yourself. Shared ownership is specifically designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyle and economic realities. Fractional interests and timeshare options can be found throughout the resort in a number of premier locations with outstanding accommodation amenities and full-service management. In addition, many shared ownership properties also allow owners to generate extra revenue through nightly rentals when they are not using their property.

TOP 10 NON-SKIING ACTIVITIES IN WHISTLER When most people think of Whistler they think of skiing or snowboarding. As one of the world’s best ski resorts, that is fairly understandable. With the huge amount of terrain and consistent snowfall, Whistler truly is one of the best places for skiing and snowboarding. But, that doesn’t mean that you have to hit the slopes to have fun in Whistler in the winter. Here are some of our favourite non-skiing winter activities:
1. MOUNTAIN SIGHTSEEING You don’t have to ski or snowboard to get up the mountain. Heading up the gondola for some sightseeing is one of the best ways to see Whistler, especially if you hop on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. As you travel between Whistler and Blackcomb across the longest unsupported cable-car span in the world, you will get one of the most incredible aerial views of the area.
2. EXPLORE THE VILLAGE Whistler Village itself is a hub of activity with lots to explore. Why not spend a day exploring, shopping, and wandering along the pedestrian-only stroll? As you explore you will find a huge range of shops. From sports equipment to art galleries and museums, to souvenir stores and street entertainment Whistler has it all.
3. EAT OUT One of the draws of the Village is the incredible restaurants and cafés. Whatever your mood, whether you want to experience fine-dining or casual eats, Whistler really is a paradise for foodies with something for all tastes.
4. GO STRAIGHT TO APRÉS Just as famous as the skiing, Whistler’s après scene is a site to behold. With tons of bars, pubs, and patios to choose from, you can’t go wrong with après in Whistler.
5. TAKE A WALK OR GO SNOWSHOEING Whistler’s Valley Trail network is a great way to explore the valley in the winter. If you want to hike up to higher elevations you can always strap on some snowshoes and explore the mountains and designated snowshoe trails on foot. Never snowshoed before? No problem, it is the same as walking!
6. TAKE YOUR SKIING HORIZONTAL Cross-country skiing, or Nordic skiing, is one of those sports that is a ton of fun whether it is your first time or you are a seasoned pro. With options for all abilities, the groomed trails at Lost Lake are a great place to start.

7. ICE SKATING There are a couple of ice skating options in Whistler. If you have your own skates, you can lace up at many of the local lakes. Or, grab a pair of rentals and hit the free rink at the Olympic Plaza. Take to the ice at night and see Whistler lit-up by thousands of colourful twinkling lights.
8. RELAX AND REJUVENATE If you are looking for a great way to relax, workout, or recover from a day on the hill, yoga is the way to go. Whistler offers a lot of classes at studios all around town, most with drop-in rates so they are never hard to find. Or, if you are looking for an even more relaxing experience with a little pampering, check out one of Whistler’s many world-class spas.
9. HAVE AN ADVENTURE Whistler is full of adventure so get your adrenaline pumping with one of the local adventure companies. Why not try bungee jumping, ziplining, snowmobiling, or one of the many other activities on offer?
10. GET CULTURED If you are looking to get inside and out of the cold then it is time to check out Whistler’s artistic side. Although Whistler is often associated with sports and adventure, it also has a strong and thriving arts community. You can visit the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Center, the Whistler Museum, the Audain Art Museum, or one of Whistler’s other galleries. Fair warning: you might be tempted to pick up so many pieces that you’ll end up with a museum of your own.
And there you have it! Even if you are not much of a skier, or if you are just looking to mix things up and try something new, Whistler has plenty to offer in the winter. The real trouble is trying to fit it all in to a single vacation.
