Median single-family home assessments were unchanged in Whistler and up 1% in Pemberton, as values fell across most Lower Mainland jurisdictions
The Resort Municipality of Whistler is one of just a few jurisdictions to avoid notable declines in 2026 property assessments, according to new data released by BC Assessment.
The median assessed value for a single-family home in Whistler ticked up less than one per cent to $2.834 million, while the median value for strata homes dropped just one per cent—from $1.341 million to $1.328 million. Pemberton, meanwhile, saw a one-per-cent increase in single-family home values, to $1.401 million.
“The softening housing market is being reflected in 2026 property assessments,” explained assessor Bryan Murao. “Many homeowners throughout the Lower Mainland can expect some decreases in assessed value with most changes ranging between -10 per cent to zero per cent.”
“What I’m seeing is that for the Sea to Sky in general, there seems to be a trend where things are pretty flat,” added Mauro. “They’ve held their value a little bit more than Metro Vancouver and really the suburbs around Metro Vancouver.”
Whistler also saw 15 of the lower mainland’s top-100 most valuable residential assessments.
Stonebridge Drive boasts three of the top-five assessed residential properties in Whistler at $32.9 million, $29.3 million and $28.9 million. A property on Sunridge Drive came in fourth at $27.5 million, and a $25-million property on St. Anton Way rounds out the quintet.
The 2026 roll includes 2,233,648 properties assessed across B.C., up about one per cent from the year before. The total value of B.C. real estate dropped by almost 2.5 per cent, from over $2.82 trillion in 2025 to just above $2.75 trillion this year.
