The Whistler Real Estate Company Limited
The Market is Moving!
Fall is in the air and ski season is just around the corner. The summer of 2015 was one of the nicest summers weather wise that I have experienced since moving to Whistler in 1991.
 
I am here to help with all of your real estate needs, whether you’re thinking of buying or selling. I can put together the right plan to achieve your goals.
 
I have sold a large amount of my listing inventory with the active market so it's a good time to sell!  You will see in my market report that we have seen an increase in property values.  Want to know what your Whistler or Pemberton property is worth?  I offer a FREE, no obligation market evaluation of  your property.
 
Be sure to visit my blog in my website at www.davesellswhistler.com  for all the latest sales information or stay connected with me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DaveBrownWhistler?ref=ts&fref=ts
 

Please do keep me in mind when speaking with any family members, friends or colleagues, who are considering exploring the Whistler property market. I am only a phone call or email away. I really appreciate your referrals!
 
Wishing all of my Canadian clients and friends a Happy Thanksgiving! 
Market Report

With three quarters of 2015 in the books, the Whistler real estate market is on track to have its most active year since the Olympics in 2010.
 

Total market activity is ahead 6.5% as compared to the same period one year ago. As a result, prices have continued to strengthen in all the major real estate categories. Overall, the average sale value of a transaction has increased by 10.7% since the beginning of the year to $801,468. This is also the highest level we have seen since 2010.
 

The single-family home market has been very strong throughout the year with an almost 20% increase in activity over 2014. Average sales value has also increased 5% to $1,727,000 since the start of the year.
 

The townhouse market remains healthy although activity is down slightly due to a significant reduction in properties being offered for sale. The average townhouse transaction value over the last 9 months is $778, 853, almost 14% higher than the same period last year.
 

Activity in the condominium market remains strong and average transaction values have increased by 6% to $394,326. With a strong summer season, rental properties are showing improved income performance and increase in interest as a result.
 

Based on current activity levels reported by our agents, we expect the balance of the year to continue to be strong. Favorable currency rates for non-Canadians, historically low levels of offered properties (listings), and the continued growth of diversity in the Whistler experience keeps the resort as a desired destination and real estate opportunity.
 

The Whistler marketplace is unique and nuanced and only a full time, professional sales person is fully equipped to provide you with all the information needed to make the right decision.

Own your own Fishing Lodge on Vancouver Island
Rodgers Fishing Lodge
Westcoast of Vancouver Island
List Price: $1,199,000
 
Rodgers Fishing Lodge is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island about 90 miles due west of Campbell River in Esperanza Inlet. Rodgers is one of the busiest fishing lodges on the B.C. coast, entertaining over 1200 guests a year. They also enjoy one of the longest seasons on the coast, operating 19 weeks in 2014. This will be their 31st year in the Sport Fishing business and their 20th year in Esperanza Inlet. Rodgers has shown a remarkable rate of growth over the past 4 years due mainly to an aggressive, innovative and successful marketing program. Their gross revenue has more than doubled since 2010 and 2015 looks to be another banner year with over 450 guests already booked. The Lodge has a location second to none as it is ideally situated to take advantage of some of the most outstanding fishing opportunities on the BC coast for Salmon, Halibut, Bottom Fish and Tuna. The addition of Tuna fishing in 2014 added a new dimension to the business and increased revenue to the months of August and September. The Tuna fishery is going to be a huge breakthrough in the future for West Coast fishing lodges. Rodgers Lodge is perfectly positioned to take advantage of it. Historically, the Tuna in their migration pattern will follow the warm water temperatures that occur along the Continental Shelf. In Rodgers Lodge’s location the Continental Shelf is just 12 to 15 miles offshore as opposed to 50 miles offshore for places like Tofino and Bamfield. Black Bear and Bald Eagles are regularly seen by the lodge. They have the largest colonies of Sea Otters on the coast and the Gray, Orca and Humpback Whales pass by on their way to and from the Bering Sea. The owners love the business and wish that they were 30 years younger. However, they feel that it is now time to turn the reins over to someone who shares the same passion for the outdoors and who is looking for a wonderful rewarding lifestyle.
