What is happening in the market?
HERE ARE THE FACTS. IN JULY, WE HAD A TOTAL OF 33 SALES WHICH IS DOWN 10% FROM JULY OF LAST YEAR AND 40% BELOW JUNE 2011. BUYERS SLOWED IN JULY, SELLERS REMAINED ACTIVE.
OUR TOTAL INVENTORY FOR LISTINGS IS AT 1174 UP FROM 1121 IN JUNE WITH A TOTAL OF 143 NEW LISTINGS.
YOU MAY BE WONDERING HOW IT IS DETERMINED WHETHER IT IS A BUYERS OR A SELLER’S MARKET. TO MAKE THIS CALCULATION, YOU TAKE THE NUMBER OF SALES AND DIVIDE IT BY THE NUMBER OF LISTINGS TO GET A PERCENTAGE. IT WOULD LOOK LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
15% TO 20% PERCENT BALANCED MARKET
21% OR GREATER SELLERS MARKET
14% OR LESS BUYERS MARKET
WHISTLER’S STATISTIC REPORTS A BUYER’S MARKET WITH A 2.8% PERCENTAGE SCORE. SO WE ARE VERY SINCERE WHEN WE SAY IT IS A BUYER’S MARKET.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH PRICING?
WE USE 2008 AS A BASELINE FOR A HISTORICAL ACTIVE MARKET DUE TO THE ECONOMIC CRISIS FOLLOWED BY THE OLYMPICS.
OUR SINGLE FAMILY OR KNOWN IN WHISTLER AS THE CHALET MARKET HAS BEEN RELATIVELY STABLE SINCE THE MARKET CORRECTION IN 2008. THE MEDIAN PRICE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IS $1.1 MILLION.
OUR CONDOMINIUM MARKET IS DOWN -9% OVER JULY OF LAST YEAR (2010) WITH A TOTAL DECLINE OF -17% SINCE 2008. THE MEDIAN PRICE OF A CONDOMINIUM IN WHISTLER IS $285,500
TOWNHOMES ARE UP +5% OVER JULY (2010) OF LAST YEAR WITH A TOTAL DECLINE OF -9% SINCE 2008. THE MEDIAN PRICE OF A TOWN HOME IN WHISTLER IS $622,000.

HST REFERENDUM
BC purchasers are closely watching the HST referendum and that has likely had some effect of slowing down the real estate sales over the past couple of months. Although August 5 was the last day for getting your vote in, it is unlikely that we will know for another week whether HST is staying (albeit at a lower rate of 11% in 2012 and 10% in 2014) or if we are going back to the separate provincial and government sales taxes. This is most relevant for new construction and nightly rental property sales as these attract HST to the sale price. To follow the results go to:

Here are the facts. In July, we had a total of 33 sales which is down 10% from July of last year and 40% below June 2011. Buyers slowed in July, Sellers remained active.
Our total inventory for listings is at 1174 up from 1121 in June with a total of 143 new listings.
You may be wondering how it is determined whether it is a Buyers or a Seller’s market. To make this calculation, you take the number of sales and divide it by the number of listings to get a percentage. It would look like something like this:
15% to 20% Percent |
Balanced market |
21% or greater |
Sellers market |
14% or less |
Buyers market |
Whistler’s statistic reports a buyer’s market with a 2.8% percentage score. so we are very sincere when we say it is a buyer’s market.
More importantly, what is happening with pricing?
We use 2008 as a baseline for a historical active market due to the economic crisis followed by the Olympics.
Our single family or known in Whistler as the chalet market has been relatively stable since the market correction in 2008. the median price of a single family home is $1.1 Million.
