Year-over-year, Whistler had a 22% increase in sales in contrast to the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board, which is bemoaning a 9% decrease in sales over the same period.
Year-over-year, Whistler saw a 6% drop in new listings, and the sales-to-inventory ratio of 12% indicates a balanced market.
After COVID, inventory peaked last June at 341 listings, and a year later inventory was at 319 listings, meaning that the selection in Whistler right now is only 7% off the post-COVID peak.
One way to gauge what’s happening in the market is by analyzing the ski-in ski-out niche. When a development that hasn’t had a listing for years suddenly has two properties for sale, the market is responding.
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.
