Home sales and listings just below 10-year average
Home buyer and seller activity remains near historical averages in the Metro Vancouver housing market.
Residential home sales in the region totalled 2,214 in November 2016, a decrease of 0.9 per cent from the 2,233 sales recorded in October 2016 and a decrease of 37.2 per cent compared to November 2015 when 3,524 homes sold.
Last month’s sales were 7.6 per cent below the 10-year sales average for the month.

Spent the day with an economist reviewing the market numbers in all of BC to investigate what is happening.
Vancouver saw a 20% drop which mostly affected the detached single family market. This is not a surprise as everyone felt the market was grossly overheated in early 2016. Sharp declines have happened in the Vancouver Market before we saw steep drops in 1996, 2001, 2003, and even a softening in 2012. The Bc Foreign tax is among the world’s highest but less regulation or restrictions in BC as compared to other countries which have implicated similar taxes. Victoria seems to still continue to soar as many relocate out of the lower mainland. Click here to view the presentation: Bryan Yu – Economic Forecast 2016

The B.C. government announced a new plan to introduce a 15% property transfer tax for non-Canadian citizens and non-permanent residents in Metro Vancouver. The move comes as the government attempts to combat the growing affordability crisis in the Vancouver area.

We have experienced very high temperatures here in Whistler for the last couple of days – maybe surprising, as we actually had a little bit of snow just a week prior! The village has been busy as ever, what once use to be the shoulder season seems to have disappeared with May and June bringing many festivals and events.
Runners at the Whistler Half Marathon 2016
Last weekend we watched in awe as hundreds of runners completed the Whistler Half Marathon – for some maybe just a warm up for the incredible running events that are coming up later this month. On June 11th Whistler is hosting the Comfortably Numb Trail Running Race, a 23km trail run with over 800m elevation gain, followed only one week later by Tough Mudder Whistler. This military-style obstacle course race will be set up at Whistler’s Olympic Park. Are you tough enough? Or maybe still thinking about it? Spectators are welcome too!
If running is not your thing there is no shortage of more relaxed events to attend. The Whistler Multicultural Festival takes place this Friday, 10 June at Florence Petersen Park. The Festival focuses on showcasing local cultures, food, music, crafts, arts, games, toys and sports to the local community. Every Sunday, the Whistler Farmer’s Market is on as it hosts many local merchants. It is set up at Blackcomb Base and is a must do for the whole family.
Market update:
The Whistler Real Estate Market has been even hotter than the weather. The inventory remains low and with few properties available, many listings sell within just a few days and often in multiple offer situations.
