MARKET UPDATE – AUGUST

Whistler

August was a relatively quiet month for real estate activity in Whistler, following suit with the slower pace we saw in July. There were 31* sales, which is about 7% fewer than in both August 2024 and August 2023. We saw more single-family home sales, fewer townhome sales, and steady condo activity when compared to last month. Interestingly, even though August had the second-lowest number of new listings hit the market this year, the total number of active listings still increased to 324* by the end of the month. That’s 3% higher than last month, but still 5% lower than inventory levels this time last year. When we look at how long sold properties were on the market, single-family homes took a median of 119 days to sell, which is 5 days longer than last month. Townhomes sold 3 days faster than in July, in a median of 56 days. Condos took 65 days, which is a slight increase from last month. Overall, the Whistler market is presenting notable opportunity to buyers. That said, sellers who are pricing their properties right are still seeing good interest and results.

Pemberton 

There were 8* sales in Pemberton in August – that’s down from the 2025 high of 13* sales in July, and about 20% below the five-year average for August. Inventory increased from July to 76* units, however this is a 13% decrease in available inventory from August of last year. If we take vacant land out of the equation, that number drops to 52 listings*, which shows that the market is still fairly tight in terms of available homes. Median sale price for single-family homes was up 14% compared to last month and down only 1% compared to August of last year, while townhome sale prices are down 4% versus last month and 8% when compared to last year. Properties continue to take longer to sell, with the median days on market for single family at 117 days and 39 days for townhomes. With the exception of vacant land, the Pemberton market is relatively balanced.
