Whistler
As is typical for July, sales activity in Whistler slowed as both buyers and agents took time to enjoy the summer season. There were 31* sales in Whistler last month, representing a 9% decline year-over-year and 35% below the five-year average for July. While much of Metro Vancouver has seen rising inventory-up nearly 20% overall compared to July 2024-Whistler is moving in the opposite direction. Total inventory dropped to 315* active listings, a 9% decrease from the same time last year. The sales-to-active listings ratio indicates a buyer’s market in both the single-family and condo segments, while the townhome segment remains balanced. The median sale price for single-family homes increased year-over-year, lifted by activity in the luxury segment. However, days on market rose significantly for single-family homes when compared to last month, now at a median of 104 days. By contrast, townhomes and condos sold faster, with median days on market at 57 and 33 days, respectively.
Pemberton
Pemberton saw a notable uptick in activity, with 13* sales in July-the highest monthly sales volume since October 2024. This was largely driven by a series of successful “subject-to-sale” transactions aligning within the month. Sales were also 9% above the five-year July average. Active listings in Pemberton declined to 70* units, which is 20% lower than July 2024, further tightening the market. As for selling times, single-family homes took longer to sell with a median of 139 days on market, while condos averaged 65 days. Townhomes, however, sold relatively quickly at 38 days, suggesting more immediate demand in that segment. Overall, the Pemberton market remains balanced.
