Whistler
Total listing inventory in April remained consistent with March. While chalet inventory decreased slightly, townhome and condo inventory saw modest increases, and shared ownership inventory remained unchanged.
Overall, listing levels have stayed relatively steady since the beginning of the year, with only minor shifts in product mix. This contrasts sharply with many other markets across the province, where inventory continues to rise month over month.
Sales activity declined across three of the four market segments in April compared to March. Chalets were the exception, with sales jumping from 2 in March to 8 in April — a 300% increase. Townhome sales dipped slightly from 12 to 11, condo sales fell from 15 sales in March to 8 in April, and shared ownership sales declined from 5 sales in March to 2 in April.
April market activity placed both chalet and townhouse properties in balanced market territory, giving buyers some room for negotiation while still suggesting that delaying an offer may not be advantageous. Condos and shared ownership properties shifted further into buyer-favoured conditions due to the higher levels of inventory relative to sales activity.
For sellers considering bringing their property to market, working closely with your Whistler real estate agent to strategically position your property will be essential in gaining a competitive advantage.
Pemberton
Total listing inventory in Pemberton remained steady from March to April at 81 properties. Inventory increased in the highly sought-after townhome segment, while chalet inventory decreased by one property and condo inventory dropped from 9 to 4 active listings.
Overall sales activity increased by 33% compared to March. Chalet sales remained unchanged, while both townhomes and condos experienced significantly stronger activity levels.
Condos moved into seller’s market territory, suggesting buyers will need to be prepared to act quickly to secure a purchase. Townhomes also remained firmly in a seller’s market, although the increase in listings during April provided buyers with more options than they have seen so far this year. Chalet sales conditions continued to favour buyers, allowing for greater selection and more time to make purchasing decisions.
As listing inventory in Pemberton remains limited, staying informed about new listings and price reductions is essential. Connecting with your local Pemberton real estate specialist can help ensure you stay up to date on market opportunities. For sellers considering bringing a property to market, strategic pricing and positioning will be key factors in achieving a successful sale.
