Whistler Real Estate Purchases in 2008

Real Estate sales in 2008 were valued in excess of 420 million dollars. Although below activity levels experienced in 2007 (which should be considered a watershed year) it was consistent with the yearly activity levels experienced since 2000. Overall sales activity slowed dramatically in the last quarter of 2008 as the realities of the world economic situation began to be felt. We expect the first half of 2009 to experience below average levels of activity and market conditions which will be in the buyers favour. However as pre-Olympic media exposure builds and a new value paradigm is created we expect to see increasing interest from investors both regionally and worldwide. The Greater Vancouver region continues to be the largest source of buyers, followed by Whistlerites, and then buyers from the U.S. Although, we expect increased levels of interest from the rest of the world, Whistler will continue to be primarily of interest to investors within four to five hours of travel time of the resort.

Offered at $2,865,000 we are pleased to advise the recent sale of #3 -The Cedars.

Nestled within a wooded preserve and overlooking the Chateau Golf Course, this 2500 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath property is part of a select collection of mountain homes in the Blackcomb Benchlands community, one of Intrawest’s most prestigious addresses.

The distinctive mountain architecture features heavy timber and natural stone detailing. Outside, the cedar shake roof and natural cedar siding provide balance between the alpine setting and this exclusive development. Inside, the river stone fireplace with its heavy timber mantel and extensive wood millwork throughout, frame the sumptuous yet intimate décor.

Hand-set heated slate floors in the kitchen and bathrooms deliver unparallel comfort, while pine cabinets and a white cast iron sink provide a rustic touch. The vaulted ceiling in the living area and floor to ceiling double-glazed wood windows take advantage of the views, without compromising the country feel.

These homes only come around once in a decade.

Cheakamus Crossing is a unique and exceptional neighborhood designed with both the needs of the local community and the environment in mind. One of Whistler’s most talked-about Olympic legacies, the neighborhood is currently being built prior to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to house visiting athletes, and will be converted post-Games into a vibrant, local community with a diverse housing mix and front door access to countless recreational opportunities and neighborhood conveniences.

All the resident restricted properties at Cheakamus Crossing have been made available for sale beginning in the Fall of 2008. The Whistler Real Estate Company has been administering the sales for this project with Greg Ambrose and Frances Davis as the main point of contact. Prospective purchasers on the Whistler Housing Authority waitlist for Cheakamus Crossing are being given the opportunity to purchase a property based on individual waitlist priority order. The resident restricted properties are being well received with a mixed offering able to meet varying budgets and needs. To date, over half of the 221 resident restricted properties have been sold in a short 5 week period.

Stay tuned: Cheakamus Crossing has a number of market opportunities ranging from home sites to spacious 3 bedroom townhomes. These will be available for viewing in early 2009.

Today is the opening of the record breaking peak to peak gondola.
