Overview
When comparing the year-end stats for 2025 against 2024, the stats don’t tell the same sad story as what is being told in other parts of the province. In Whistler, we are reporting the same number of year-end sales for the past 3 years. Statistics provided by the GVR.
In 2025 there were 473 sales, and in 2024, there were also 473 sales, and in 2023, we had 471 sales, basically the same. In other words, there has been no dramatic shift in sales during the past 3 years. This is an amazing statistic.
In 2025, there were 934 new listings, basically the same as in 2024, which was a 20% increase over the 792 new listings in 2023.
When the number of new listings is higher than the number of sales, it should put downward pressure on pricing, which we’re seeing, but not at the rate buyers would like simply because properties are selling. The motivation for the seller in this second home or recreation market also has to be considered.
