Whistler Monday Morning Coffee

Good Morning!
 
On Friday, I recorded a quick video blog outlining some key points to remember if you're an American owner of a property in Whistler and you're thinking of selling soon. Check it out here. Pardon the floatplane flying by in the last few seconds of the video (I was recording on the shores of Green Lake).
 
OK - no need to raise the alarm but my seller of 8261 Valley Drive in Alpine Meadows really, really wants to move to Kelowna. We dropped the price of this house $150,000 in the past 7 days, so now it's at $1,049,000 and it's really starting to attract some serious attention with 3 showings in the past week (trust me, this is strong showing activity for Whistler). This is an extremely great buy right now and I'm sorry if I've been flogging this a bit too much in my emails in the past month but I just can't imagine why it hasn't been sold yet. Call me if it's interesting in the least - we can discuss the details.
 
Beyond that gem, here are my deals of the week (I'm very impartial so not all of them are my own listings):
  • J204 Tamarisk -  a 2 bedroom Tamarisk for the price of a 1 bedroom. The seller of this suite enclosed the deck to make it into a 2nd bedroom. Who needs to BBQ on the deck anyway - the kitchen range has a broiler!
  • Just listed a 3 bedroom plus loft, 1,700 sq. ft. Snowberry townhome in Blackcomb Benchlands at $999,000. Fully renovated and just a 5 minute walk on the trail behind the Chateau Whistler to the Wizard chair at the base of Blackcomb. No photos or video yet. Call me for details.
  • I mentioned last week that I had just listed a duplex in Whistler Cay Heights at 6282 Eagle Drive. It's now on the market at $728,000 but there are just exterior photos for now as it's tenanted and tough to get into for the next week or so. Click here to take a look. 
  • Finally, this house at 6373 Fairway Drive in Whistler Cay Heights was one of the standouts of our weekly realtor tour last week. I've never seen a log home renovated in a modern style. Really impressed with what they did on this one. Truly amazing. Check it out here.
