Hi Friends,

The Whistler and Pemberton real estate markets remained active in May.

Whistler recorded 35 sales, led by strong townhouse and condominium activity, with 262 active listings giving buyers more choice than we’ve seen in recent years.

Pemberton recorded 10 sales, with particularly strong demand in the condo market, where all available inventory sold during the month.

One question continues to come up from buyers:

“Have I missed the opportunity?”

While some segments are approaching or exceeding their 2022 peak values, Whistler remains unique. Most buyers aren’t simply investing in real estate—they’re investing in a lifestyle they can enjoy today while building long-term value. Many also seek properties that can generate rental income to help offset ownership costs.

The good news? Opportunities still exist—but success comes from matching the right property to your goals, whether that’s personal use, rental revenue, capital preservation, or creating a long-term family legacy.

As summer arrives, Whistler’s lifestyle is on full display. Local lakes were recently stocked with 3,000 rainbow trout, and families are once again enjoying everything that makes this community special. One of my favourite memories is watching my daughter catch her first dinner-sized trout in Alpha Lake at just five years old. Those experiences are part of what continues to attract buyers from around the world.

Whistler remains competitively priced compared to premier mountain destinations like Aspen, Vail, Jackson Hole, and Park City. Combined with limited supply, strong global appeal, and a favourable Canadian dollar, the long-term fundamentals remain compelling.

If you’re considering a purchase, I’d be happy to discuss which opportunities best align with your goals.

Warmly,

Kathleen
