Whistler Real Estate Market Update: Second Quarter 2025

The Whistler real estate market continued to move at a slower pace through the second quarter of 2025, recording 111 total sales. This marks a slight decline from Q1 and approximately 20% fewer sales compared to the same period in 2024. Despite the overall softness, May was the most active month of the year so far, accounting for over 40% of quarterly sales.

Market Highlights

Luxury Segment Activity

The high-end market (sales over $4 million) remained relatively strong. Of the 17 luxury sales recorded year-to-date, nearly half (8 sales) occurred in Q2, signalling that demand in this segment continues.

Shifts by Property Type
Townhomes saw a notable uptick in activity, with 53% more sales than in Q2 2024. In contrast, condo sales declined significantly, down 60% compared to the same quarter last year.

Pricing Trends
Median sale prices for May and June were the highest seen since July 2024. While prices held strong, homes across all categories took longer to sell than they did a year ago:

  • Single-family homes had a median of 87 days on market (up 60%)
  • Condos took 49 days to sell (doubling year-over-year)
  • Townhomes averaged 59 days (also doubled)

Inventory & Buyer Demographics
Active inventory remained steady, with an average of 337 listings during the quarter—only a slight decrease from Q2 2024. Buyer origin remained consistent with past trends:

  • 67% of buyers were from Whistler, Vancouver, or the North Shore
  • 18% came from elsewhere in British Columbia
  • 12% were international buyers, the majority from the United States

Looking Ahead to the Second Half of 2025

As we move into the latter half of the year, market conditions appear balanced, with opportunities for both buyers and sellers who are informed and prepared. While properties are taking longer to sell and many buyers are still cautious, this creates a more level playing field—and allows for strategic decision-making on both sides of the transaction.

Sellers who price their homes competitively and align with current buyer expectations are still well-positioned to achieve strong outcomes. Meanwhile, buyers benefit from greater selection, more negotiation room, and increased time to explore options.

From an economic perspective, uncertainty around tariffs continues to affect overall sentiment. However, the Bank of Canada’s decision to hold interest rates steady, with further rate stability expected through the end of the year, has helped boost buyer confidence and support renewed activity.
