he increase in sales that we saw in February jumped even higher in March. In Whistler, in January, we had only 19 sales but in February this number more than doubled with a total of

44 sales, and in March we had a total of 51 sales. This is now above the monthly average for 2022.

Another rate hold by the Bank of Canada has made many buyers realise that if they find the right property that they should jump in now to make their dream of owning in Whistler and Pemberton a reality.

The increase in activity in March was primarily seen in the $1 million to $2 million range – there were no sales over $5 million this month.

Now as the ski season starts to wrap up, we typically see a few less sales until the summer. The question is will we see more inventory as we are still experiencing a low number of properties on the market.

Meanwhile In Metro Vancouver Home prices across Metro Vancouver’s housing market showed modest increases in March, while new listings remained below long-term historical averages. March data also indicates home sales are making a stronger than expected spring showing so far, despite elevated borrowing costs.
