Whistler
The Whistler real estate market continued its slower pace into the second quarter of 2025, with 111* total sales, marking a slight decline from Q1 and approximately 20% fewer sales year-to-date compared to mid-2024. May emerged as the busiest month of the year thus far, accounting for over 40% of the quarter’s activity. The luxury segment (sales over $4M) remained active, with 8 of the 17 year-to-date luxury sales occurring in Q2. There were 53% more townhome sales and 60% fewer condo sales than in the same period last year. Overall, the median sale price for the market in May and June was at its highest since July 2024. However, properties took longer to sell across all categories compared to the same period last year. Single-family homes had a median of 87 days on market, up 60%, while condos and townhomes doubled their median days to sell, reaching 49 and 59 days, respectively. Inventory levels remained relatively stable, with an average of 337 active listings* throughout the quarter—a slight decrease from the same period last year. Year-to-date buyer origin remained consistent with historical trends. 67% of purchasers were from Whistler, Vancouver, or the North Shore, with another 18% from the rest of BC. International buyers made up 12% of the market, three-quarters of whom were from the U.S.
Pemberton
Pemberton maintained steady momentum in Q2, posting 25*sales, up from 20* in Q1, though down from 32* in Q2 2024. Overall, year-to-date sales are 12% behind last year’s pace at this point. Of note in Q2 was the increase in single-family home sales, rising to 10 from just 2 in Q1—likely reflecting improved buyer confidence following some stability in interest rates. Median sale prices were also up year-over-year for single family homes (+31%), townhomes (+5%) and condos (+12%). The luxury segment saw renewed activity late in the quarter, with all three of Pemberton’s $2M+ sales for the year occurring in May and June. Inventory climbed 20% throughout the quarter, ending with 73* active listings, or 57* when excluding vacant land. This marks the highest inventory level seen in a year, providing more options for buyers moving into the second half of 2025. Time on market showed mixed results, as single-family homes sold faster, with a median of 33 days on market, lower versus both last quarter and last year, while condos and townhomes took longer to sell, year-over-year. Buyer origin has remained typical for the region so far this year, with 70% of purchasers from Whistler or Pemberton, 26% from elsewhere in BC, and 4% from outside the province, including 2% international buyers.
