Whistler Monday Morning Coffee August 15, 2011

This week I wanted to give everyone some solid value so I took the time over the past few days to put together more of my beloved video blogs with some updates on what's happening in the real estate market here in Whistler. Click here to go over to my website and you can take a browse through the video player in the centre of the home page.
 
Some of you have had the good fortune to work with my favourite mortgage broker, Annie de la Chevrotiere at Garibaldi Mortgage here in Whistler. Well, last week she agreed to sit down for a quick video interview about the financing options available to Phase 2 and quartershare purchasers. Check out this truly rare interview with Annie. Hopefully there will be many more to follow with her!
 
I have also gone ahead and posted a copy of the letter that the Resort Municipality of Whistler put out to many of the concerned Phase 1 property owners in town to allay their fears about the changes which are brewing to the Official Community Plan (OCP) later this summer. I have a couple of friends on council who were able to share some of their insights on the process so go ahead and click here for that info.
 
Finally, I have also posted a video from the President of the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board with a market update for Vancouver showing a much more balanced trend taking shape in the lower mainland. Highly worth a quick viewing if you own property in Vancouver.
