February 2025 Whistler Market Update

Whistler real estate market update February 2025. From personal experience, I spoke with more buyers in January than I did at the end of the last quarter. The majority were non-residents calling from the USA. The rate of exchange is a 45% discount to our American friends.

  • Sales: In January there were 34 sales.
  • Inventory: There were 255 listings available for sale, nearly 8 months of inventory on the books.
  • New Listings: New listings soared in January by 65% over the previous month to 79 new listings.
  • Market Type: We continue to be in a balanced market. Meaning, there’s no immediate power for the buyer or the seller, that happens in the negotiation.

My Interpretation of the Market

With 34 sales last month and 255 listings available for sale, that interprets into almost 8 months of inventory on the books. It’s a stagnant market, certainly not helped with overpriced new listings coming on the market in January.

Look at the statistics. There was a 65% increase in new listings in January 2025 over December 2024. Compare that with less than 5% increase in sales in the same January to December period. Despite new listings coming on, these listings are not being snapped up, despite a record number of buyers looking for Whistler real estate. Does that mean that the listing agents continue to overprice the property in order to get the listing?

YouTube

The current Market Update video is posted on this blog page. Each month I remove the previous month’s Market Update Video and replace it with the current video. I am not sure why you might want to view the Market Update Videos from past months or years, but if you do they are on my YouTube Channel Market Update Playlist.
