Whistler Blackcomb Snow Stoke, November 2010

Whistler's 7 Day Real Estate Update

Another gorgeous fall day in Whistler and only 23 days to the first day of Skiing.


A quick rake of my lawn this morning to gather up a few of the very, very red maple leaves that are coming down. The colour is so striking!


I attended a very interesting sales meeting this morning with my colleagues and RE/MAX continues to be strong with market share in Whistler.


We discussed the "new normal" for Whistler real estate and when reviewing sales since 1998 we appear to be hitting the same trends of 100 to 110 sales per quarter (35 per month) and November 2010 appears to be right on track.

Regarding types of properties sold the number of homes, duplexes, condos and townhomes are at similar numbers, the number of shared ownership sales is down.

The most popular product in Whistler right now appears to be townhomes on the Blackcomb Benchlands that are listed between $1M and $1.3M. A good time to list if you want an expedient sale - of course at the right price!

Another thing of of note from a recent economic meeting in Whistler is that the CAD$ is at or very close to parity and it is expected to continue around this point until 2012 - great news for sellers who are from the USA but not so good for USA buyers or visitors.


Our emerging markets? China (of course), Korea (?) and Germany (?)... interesting heh!


And now for the Whistler 7 Day Real Estate Update :-)


There are currently 846 properties for sale in Whistler. Interestingly, in the past 31 days there have been 160 properties cancel or expire.. hmm! I think those buyers that wish to sell for a higher price than the current market will bear are now taking their properties off the market and waiting out those 3 to 5 years til the market changes.

Preliminary numbers from the Olynpic and Paralympic Games show the average in-resort population was 51,000 during the Olympics and 26,645 during the Paralympics (did you know that Whistler's normal full-time population is just under 11,000?).

The numbers, released last week by the Resort Municipality of Whistler, also showed the resort at an average of 97% hotel occupancy during the Olympic Games from February 12 to 28.  During the same period, an estimated 3.5 million viewers worldwide tuned into watch all or part of the Games on television.  During the first 12 weeks of 2010, worldwide media produced an estimated 220,000 articles that mentioned Whistler, according to Tourism Whistler.

All awesome for increasing the awareness of Whistler around the world!

March 2010 Whistler Real Estate Update and Post Olympics

Hello from Whistler



An incredibly busy three weeks was had during the 2010 Olympic Games. The Village was full of locals and visitors boisterously enjoying all of the ambience, entertainment and sporting activities. I am glad to say that we beat hotel occupancy targets and were close to 100% full the entire period. While the number of real estate inquiries during this period were limited, I believe that the extensive, worldwide media coverage that was achieved highlighting Whistler, Vancouver as well as the rest of British Columbia to the rest of the globe can only bring about positive benefits.

An extensive marketing program was undertaken during the Olympics which will continue on through the Paralympic Games starting shortly. A big mix of print, social events, Realtor information packages, window displays, postcards, television, online classified advertisements, social media and listings on key websites were undertaken. In my attached March 2010 newsletter you will see all of the details on this marketing as well as being able to download copies of everything from my ‘private’ website www.denisebrown.ca


So the good news continues:

• Apparently an agreement was reached with the lenders to restructure the debt owed by Fortress Investment Group and have staved off an auction of Intrawest. Also keep in mind that 23% of Whistler Blackcomb Mountains is owned by Nippon Cable. In addition, Intrawest has sold off a number of its assets including Copper Mountain in Colorado; Panorama Mountain in British Columbia; The Village at Squaw Valley; and Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort in Florida.

• Tourism Whistler is estimating that room nights will be up 6% for the winter of 2009/10 with strong bookings still to come through March.

• Continuing festivals will attract more visitors to Whistler. This week is Winter PRIDE; the Paralympics officially start March 12 and go through to March 21, although athletes are arriving in the Village from March 6th; Whistler Live begins again March 12th and goes throughout the Paralympics; March is expected to be busy as many schools across North America are on spring break; and last but not least, Easter in the first week of April….. Oh and who could forget, March 17th, St Patrick’s Day 

• The Paralympic torch is going to be in Whistler on March 8th – come out and celebrate with us.

• Bank interest rates remain low and affordable. It’s a great time to buy in Whistler while the prices are low, interest rates are low and before our next upswing (which I think will be in the fall of 2010).

• AND the sun is shining! Snow pack is deep! Come and enjoy the fun with us!


Also on my private website www.denisebrown.ca is a copy of my March 2010 newsletter as well as “My Property Catalogue” for you to review all my current listings. The details are on www.Whistler-RealEstate.ca


Have a great week!


Go Canada Go!
