Whistler ski-property sales up nearly a quarter in a month

Luxury ski properties continue to sell well in the Canadian resort of Whistler, British Columbia, with volumes up 24% in February versus January.

Whistler saw 10 properties worth over $1 million Change hands during the month, a 25% year-on-year jump.

The highest sale price in February, however, was $ 2.9 million, well down on the $4.1 million peak per unit in 2011, and $ 3.7 million in 2010.

Ursula Morel, estate agent at Whistler, told OPP, that it is “still a buyer's market as we move into the traditionally busier Spring season.” She is telling agents “do your homework because pricing can vary considerably depending on the neighbourhood and property type”.
