| With Whistler Mountain now closed for the season and Blackcomb’s final turns just days away (lifts stop spinning May 19), we’re officially sliding from slush laps into spring’s full embrace. The trails are drying out, patios are bustling, and that unmistakable Sea to Sky energy is building as summer creeps closer.This time of year is all about momentum—from longer days to the market starting to stir. Traditionally a quieter real estate window, May often rewards those who move early: savvy buyers beat the summer rush, and sellers benefit from increased visibility as listings emerge from winter hibernation and owner/renters use. Looking ahead, the Whistler real estate market is showing signs of recovery. After a slower 2024, forecasts suggest a rebound in 2025. Royal LePage anticipates a 9% increase in the median price of a single-family detached home in Whistler over the next 12 months, driven by declining interest rates and growing buyer confidence . Additionally, the CMHC’s increase in the insured mortgage price limit is expected to enhance purchasing power for buyers . With favorable currency exchange rates, we may also see increased interest from international buyers, particularly from the U.S., as Whistler remains an attractive second-home destination.Whether you’re considering a move, a second property, or simply staying informed, I’m always happy to talk through what these shifts might mean for your real estate goals. In the meantime, I hope you’re getting outside and making the most of this magic season—where sneakers, skis, and tires all get a workout in the same day! My family and I have hit some beautiful hikes/walks of late- Rainbow Loop, One Duck Lake, and the Ghost Town- if you’re looking for some new paths- reach out! Warmly, Kathleen  |
