This past weekend was another good one here in town. Restaurants and retailers were busy with a good number of visitors strolling the village and enjoying themselves. The start of the week was a little too warm on the mountain for my tastes but by Sunday we saw a fairly sizable storm come through the valley giving us a very large helping of frosted flakes on Monday morning. It was a great way to start this week.
In the past 7 days we have had 36 new listings come to market, 23 price reductions and 13 sales compared to the 17 New Listings, 31 price reductions and 17 sales that we saw the previous week.
Please click here to view the past weeks new listings and price changes as reported by the Whistler Listing System. Although we are seeing a sizable number of new listings, a large part of this can be attributed to the new vacant land offerings at Stonebridge off of Alta Lake Road.
If you have family or friends looking into the Whistler market, please feel free to forward my contact info to them. I am always happy to answer any questions and would welcome the opportunity to earn your business.
Have a great week ahead!

For those not familiar with my blog at www.realestateforwhistler.com/Blog.php, we had two very positive announcements this week in regards to Whistler and Whistler real estate. The first was from the Provincial government who announced a transition from the current 12% HST tax back to the 5% GST (federal) and 7% PST (Provincial) tax in April 2013. This should ease the burden on sales tax payable by those Buyers looking to take a commercial (phase I) property and move it to a residential designation. The second was from Tourism Whistler, which reported that January 2012 was the busiest on record for the resort. Although some of this can be attributed to the lack of snow in other N. American and European ski destinations the resort saw a renewed increase in long haul travellers from the Eastern States, the UK and Australia. Another piece of good news came from our local municipal government who have committed to not raising property taxes in 2012.
This past week saw 17 new listings, 31 price reductions and 17 sales compared to 16 New Listings, 22 price reductions and 16 sales that we saw the previous week.

Five properties that caught my attention this week can be seen here: http://matrix.buywhistler.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=210063283
I do feel that 505 Woodrun is a well priced unit offering ski in/ski out in a concrete building. This is one of two 2 bedroom 5th floor units that are available in the complex and both offer spectacular views!

This week’s Whistler market update is greeting you from Hakuba, Japan. Hakuba is about 300kms northwest of Tokyo and is situated in an area known as the Japanese Alps. The area has 10 ski resorts offer over 200 runs on diverse terrain for both skiers and boarders alike. The local population are very welcoming and what is lacking in translation is easily made up with gestures and much laughter. Conditions at the moment are mild but the area typically boasts a large amount of snowfall during the season. Meanwhile Whistler is also experiencing a mild trend with light snowfall continuing into the weekend.
This past week we had 24 new listings, 8 Sales and 18 price reductions in the Whistler market compared to 24 new listings, 10 Sales and 21 Price reductions last week.
