Whistler Monday Morning Coffee May 9, 2011

Good Morning!
 
Well, spring is definitely arriving in Whistler and in Pemberton it's really here now. The blossoms on the cherry tree in my front yard are almost all out and yesterday was even warm enough that one of my sons decided to jump in the kiddie pool we pulled out of the crawlspace!
 
In addition to my very busy real estate career, I'm also one of the three organizers of the Nimby Fifty mountain bike marathon race in Pemberton so I've been working over the past few months to get all of the details pulled together for this year's race which is coming up on May 28th.

May is typically the slowest month of the year for sales as ski season is wrapping up and golf hasn't quite started in full swing yet. So I decided to skip last week's update and give you a blockbuster this week instead. So, grab your coffee and dig into this fresh crop of listings, solds and price reductions for Whistler and Pemberton!
 
Notable New Listings in the Past 14 Days
  • #112 Lake Placid Lodge is a one bedroom suite right at the base of Whistler Creekside that just came on the market at the incredible price of $259,000. This building had an complete exterior renovation done just two years ago so it's basically brand new. Check it out.
Notable Solds in the Past 14 Days
  • After quite a few months on the market we were finally able to get #321 Coast Hotel on Blackcomb sold. This forest-facing Phase 2 restricted, 2 bedroom suite was listed at $279,000 and sold at $245,000 to a client from Australia. 
Notable Price Adjustments in the Past 14 Days
  • #50 Sunpath just reduced big time from $714,000 down to $639,000. Great 3 bedroom/2 bath townhome with pool & hot tub right in Village North. Extremely good value at the moment.
  • #201 G2 & G4 Horstman House both at $65,000. These two quarters of this one bedroom suite are practically being given away at this price. If you're in the market for a quartershare you must check these out.
  • #14 Twin Lakes is a 4 bedroom, 1,700 sq. ft. townhome just reduced from $749,000 to $709,000. If you could pick this up for in the $690,000 range I would say you'd have stolen it.
Today's listing inventory in Whistler and Pemberton now sits at the much reduced level of 972 active listings.
