Hi All

It's a HUGE snow day in Whistler and those that don't think we get champagne powder are certainly in the wrong ski resort today. Over a foot of the light white stuff was on my car this morning. Now I like the snow... don't get me wrong, however, I detest sweeping my car off in the mornings as I am invariably 5 minutes late :-). Isn't it about time somebody invented an entire car windshield wiper to clean it down before I get there?

And of course you've all realized by now that I don't know how to ski off-piste as I tend to ski the groomed stuff on gorgeous days and follow it with a long late lunch or apres!

This week's Tuesday Newsletter features:

* Happy Holidays wishes!
* My thanks for helping me support the Children's Miracle Network (a portion of every commission I earn goes to this fantastic charity).
* Just starting "Friday Ski Day With Me!"
* RE/MAX Housing Report for 2009 (the full report is available at http://ow.ly/MOrF)
* Less than 2 months to go to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games
* Feature Listing: #15 Pinnacle Ridge on Blackcomb.
* New Listings at RE/MAX this week.
* This week's significant sales.

Recently Updated: My Buyers Packages. Visit www.denisebrown.ca to view!

I wish you and your family all the best for the holiday season!

Happy Ho HO!

Hello from chilly Whistler!

While November has been the snowiest on record with over 220 inches total cumulative snowfall it has been a wee bit chilly with temperatures very low in the Village of 5 degrees Fahrenheit today.

That being said, the Whistler Film Festival was on this past weekend and is in it's 9th year. Great short and long features plus a ton of entertainment abound including a celebrity race on Saturday. Of course I wasn't the celebrity and I panicked when I found out that Eric Pehota (a local extreme skier) joined us, I had a ton of fun AND we won. That is, we weren't the fastest team but we were the most consistent as we had the least time difference between our first and second runs of ..... .59 of a second.

Real estate wise there were 33 new listings in Whistler ranging from a 957 square foot, two bedroom, two bathroom quarter share suite in Legends at Whistler Creekside at $119,000 to a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3,380 square foot log home in Blueberry Hill Estates at $2,850,000.

The 8 sales this week included a $60,000 parking space in the Pan Pacific Lodge Mountainside to a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,567 square foot home in Alpine at $966,000.

Please click on todays heading to check out my "Whistler's Hot Real Estate Tuesday Newsletter" for your review and hope that you'll call or email if you have any questions or comments.

Have a great week and I hope to ski with you soon!

Sincerely

Denise

Hi Everyone

Whistler Blackcomb Hit the Biggest Snowfall Ever for November record..... We are currently skiing on a base of 220 cm and have had over 5 metres of snow so far this month. Awesome! I am hoping to ski with my two boys this Saturday so I shall let you know next week the conditions but all that I've heard is that it is spectacular... get up here!

In anticipation of a busy winter season, I visited a friend in Scottsdale Arizona last week. Despite being over 20 years my senior, she wore me out. We played golf, tennis, hiked, biked, dined and, of course, shopped. A great trip.

A quick market update: July, August, September and October 2009 beat out overall sales for the same months in 2008... with the Olympics only days away if you do want to buy or sell beforehand, you had better get 'crackin' :-)

I am attaching my Tuesday Hot Listings Report. Please do not hesitate to call or email if you require further information. Have a great week!

And Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends.

Sincerely

Denise

Happy Thanksgiving from Whistler

Happy Thanksgiving from Whistler,

We have had a fabulous week here in the Village. Tons of sunshine and mild temperatures. The smell of fall is in the air. I am so excited for this upcoming holiday weekend. The legendary Turkey Sale starts tonight at the Blackcomb Day Lodge. There is bound to be a plethora of great deals. The sale always gets me excited for the start of ski season. In addition to the Turkey Sale, there are numerous other deals happening in and around the Village. If you are in town this weekend, grab a Pique Magazine and see what is out there. You won't be disappointed.

Sales have remained consistent through the Fall. There have been 20 sales so far this month ranging from $175,000 for a quarter share in Legends, up to $1,470,000 for a luxury chalet in Creekside. We have had 70 new listings come on ranging from $119,000 for a studio suite in Blackcomb Springs up to $7,800,000 for 2.5 acres of waterfront property on Alta Lake.

Denise's Quarterly Newsletter and Whistler Market Update

Hello from Whistler,
It is a wet and rainy day here in the Village. On the up side there is quite a bit of fresh snow on the mountain tops, which gets us all thinking about winter. It's hard to believe that the Winter Olympic Games are only a few short months away!
This week I have attached my Quarterly Newsletter featuring a compilation of my current listings as well as up to date Whistler Real Estate Statistics. I am fortunate to represent a diverse group of properties for sale. There is certainly something in every price range. I have recently listed some great new quarter share options in Montebello and Evolution as well as two amazing new homes that are ready to be built in Rainbow.

A Buyers Market in Whistler Set to Change?

We have a buyers market in Whistler. Having also been affected by the global economy, and being primarily a second home buyers market, sales numbers are down. While other ski resorts are down 30% in value, Whistler is 15% to 20%. Many great opportunities and only 2 hours from Vancouver International Airport.
Pricing is exceptional compared to the US Ski Resorts and the Canadian people, service levels and culture is worldclass. Photographs and more inforamtion on Whistler are available at:
