COMPANY PROFILE THE WHISTLER REAL ESTATE COMPANY LTD. MISSION STATEMENT: THE ONGOING MISSION OF THE WHISTLER REAL ESTATE CO. LTD. IS TO ASSIST BUYERS AND SELLERS IN MAKING THE BEST REAL ESTATE DECISIONS POSSIBLE BY PROVIDING RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE, COLLABORATION, PROFESSIONALISM, AND A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. The Whistler Real Estate Company has consistently been the leading real estate company in Whistler for over 40 years, surpassing the competition in both the total number of real estate listings and sales as reported by the Whistler Listing System. To fully appreciate the position we find ouselves in today, one must look back at our humble beginnings when the company was founded as MacGregor Pacific Realty in a Creekside trailer in 1978. In 1980, we became one of the original businesses in the new Whistler Village. The name was changed to The Whistler Real Estate Company Ltd. in 1988. We continued to grow our operations and added a second office in Pemberton in 1998. In 2013/2014 we purchased, fully renovated, and moved into our current Whistler Village location on Main Street. Our company has played an integral role in Whistler’s development since the resort’s early days. This historical involvement gives our agents a distinct advantage when it comes to understanding Whistler’s real estate market and its complexities, such as property rights, restrictions, and requirements unique to resort living and not found in traditional urban marketplaces. Four decades of providing exceptional real estate services to Whistler and its surrounding areas, in combination with over 600 years of combined experience in the local market, means that our team not only understands this unique legal framework, but they have also played a role in creating it. This intimate, first-hand knowledge leads to the highest value in both investment and lifestyle for our clients. From the finest luxury accommodations to single-family homes, from multi-million dollar chalets to commercial operations and everything in between, The Whistler Real Estate Company can meet your every real estate need.

WHISTLER MARKET REPORT Real estate market activity in Whistler remained active during the third quarter of 2018, albeit at significantly lower levels than those experienced during the peak of the market cycle experienced during 2016 and 2017. The number of properties listed for sale has risen from recent historical lows. An increase in the amount of time listings are available on the market before they sell also reflects a return to a more normalized market framework. Despite lower levels of activity sales prices have continued to rise since the start of 2018. The overall transaction value for the market has risen by approximately 7% since the start of the year. Meanwhile, the overall average transaction value in the Whistler market is currently $1,247,715 and all categories of real estate have seen increases.
available for sale, particularly those which are unique and/or new. However, economic uncertainty as a result of provincial and federal economic policies and rising interest rates will temper buyer confidence and ensure that buyers will proceed cautiously in their decision making. Whether buying or selling, it is important to work with a knowledgeable, full-time, local agent to make sure that you are up-to-date with the right information to make the best decision. Pat Kelly, President *Based on Whistler Listing System Statistics, October 2018.
Average values in all individual segments of the marketplace have seen increases. The average transaction value for a single-family home rose 5% through the third quarter of the year, while average condominium prices experienced an increase of 6%. The townhouse market segment has witnessed the greatest increase since the start of the year with average pricing moving from $1,146,000 to $1,464,084 (a gain of 27%). As we prepare for the 2018/2019 winter season, we expect that the market trends experienced in the third quarter will continue through to the end of the year and into 2019. Buyers will continue to show strong interest in the limited supply of Whistler properties DAVID MCCOLM

This Whistler residence is more work of art than building, and is without equal in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Envisioned by the owners and brought to life by architect Brent Murdoch and builder Glen Lynskey, the multilevel home was a finalist for the prestigious Georgie Awards for Custom Single Family Residence. Inspired by the rugged landscape of the Coast Mountains, the owners used the profile of the Stawamus Chief Mountain to form the lines of the home, echoing the unique outline of the granite monolith in elements such as the interior doors and the stonework of the outdoor fireplace. No expense was spared to source unique and visually stunning wood, rock, glass, and metal finishes to capture the raw and elemental nature of the mountains within the walls. The interior is simply breathtaking. Stained glass windows and door panels by renowned glass artist Brian Baxter provide jewelled flashes of light that change throughout the day, with the same colours incorporated into the handmade floor coverings. Every living space has been created with precision and purpose, from the master suite with treehouse view to the sunken living room with purlin and beam ceiling, to the wide front deck built to capture all day sun, while custom furniture

Situated in an ideal location on Blackcomb Mountain, this extremely rare end unit townhome is directly on the ski run and walking distance to Whistler Village. The spacious townhome offers the ultimate in ski-in/ski-out access that includes a living space over 3 levels, a wrap-around deck with covered hot tub for outdoor entertaining, and a wood-burning fireplace. This property offers an open concept entertaining space, a large mud room, and a 1-car garage. It is zoned for full time use or nightly rentals with excellent potential to generate revenue in the luxury market.
A WHISTLER CLIFFSIDE RETREAT: 7465 TREETOP LANE Situated on the quiet street of Treetop Lane, 7465 Treetop Lane is bounded by a natural park and, as one of the last homes on the street, privacy is paramount. The obstacle in conceptualizing this home was designing a beautiful series of spaces on a very steep lot while taking advantage of the spectacular views. Meanwhile, it was also important to use natural materials which would blend the home seamlessly with its surroundings which are primarily comprised of granite outcroppings. The result was a stunning four-story home which is a rather unusual home prototype in Whistler. Locally sourced Squamish granite became the principal material for the structure while Douglas fir post-and-beam timber is the main secondary material. What is readily apparent as you take a closer look at the home is the level of quality in the stonework with stones at a scale you rarely see on a home, all fit together with precision. Time and care went into every aspect of this home which took years to build and is evidenced in the absolutely superlative construction. When you open the front door you are welcomed into a beautiful two-story foyer space ringed by Douglas fir posts and beams. With the living spaces on the fourth floor to maximize views, the staircase became a central element to the design. It was conceived as a light and open structure comprised of steel supports with open risers to enhance the bright airiness of the space. As you rise to
the top, windows allow you to see the mountain landscape beyond. Alternatively, guests and residents can enjoy the convenience of elevator service. The living room fireplace is an exquisite statement piece comprised of Squamish granite and finished with a stunning centrepiece of marble to lighten the overall effect of the massive stone structure. The expansive kitchen offers stunning views and features highvaulted ceilings filled with Douglas fir beams and massive skylights. Connections to outdoor living space are primarily achieved on the fourth floor where there is access to a large entertaining terrace complete with hot tub, fire pit, and spectacular views of the ski slopes and the Village.

WHISTLER SOUTH WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
JUSTA JESKOVA
WHISTLER SOUTH THE ORIGINAL VILLAGE In 1966 when Whistler’s first ski area opened, Whistler South was the home of the original village and site of the first lifts on Whistler Mountain - a 4-person gondola to mid-mountain, a double chair lift, and T-bars. All of which were installed with the hopes of securing the 1968 Winter Olympic Games. Today Creekside’s historical significance is not forgotten and what was once the original village is now a contemporary and desirable neighbourhood boasting cafés, stores, restaurants, and luxury hotels. The Creekside Gondola still runs to mid-mountain and, with the addition of the Peak-to-Peak Gondola, it provides access to both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. With both Nita and Alpha Lakes close by, and with the expansion of the Whistler Bike Park, Whistler South is a centre for outdoor activities all year-round. Prospective Creekside buyers will find a mix of past and present with everything from original rustic cabins to fabulous modern townhomes, condos, and chalets. As well as offering a huge range of options and amenities, the neighbourhood is also home to three exclusive locales. Kadenwood is Canada’s first and only resort neighbourhood with its own dedicated gondola service, while Bear Creek offers incomparable access to Whistler Mountain as well as stunning views across the valley. Finally, the Nita Lake Lodge is Whistler’s first and only five-star waterfront hotel.

The area of Whistler South also extends both north and south of Creekside to include several other exciting neighbourhoods. The northernmost neighbourhood in Whistler South is Nordic. Here you will find the luxurious Taluswood community as well as an array of exquisitely designed townhomes, duplexes, and single-family residences on the south side of Whistler Mountain and overlooking the Valley. To the south of Creekside are the family-friendly subdivisions of Bayshores, Millar’s Pond, and Spring Creek, which mostly offer townhomes, duplexes, and single family homes featuring stunning rainforest and mountain scenery. Cheakamus Crossing and Function Junction, Whistler's most southern neighbourhoods, are located on either side of the highway as you first enter Whistler. Cheakamus Crossing is a new, sustainably designed community surrounded by forest and trails near the Cheakamus River. Function Junction offers a range of businesses, stores, cafés, and professional services while also serving as Whistler’s industrial area.

WHISTLER CENTRE
BEFORE THE MOUNTAINS
JUSTA JESKOVA
WHISTLER CENTRE THE ORIGINAL RESORT One of the most sought-after ski resorts in the world today, Whistler was originally a very popular fishing destination. Alex and Myrtle Phillip opened the Rainbow Lodge Fishing Resort at Alta Lake in 1914, which, with the extension of the railway line from Vancouver, became the most popular resort destination west of Banff. This area can now be considered an extension of the Village with many popular subdivisions, all linked by the Valley Trail. Easy access to amenities and a large array of recreational activities draws many prospective buyers to Whistler Centre. The lake, with its diverse parks and beaches, is a summer hot spot for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and other water activities. The paved Valley Trail system – perfect for biking, rollerblading, running, walking, and cross-country skiing – not only provides access to the lake, but also circumnavigates another defining characteristic of the area – the spectacular Arnold Palmer-designed Whistler Golf Course, ranked one of the best courses in Canada. A short distance from the Village, the subdivisions that make up Whistler Centre offer a wide range of properties, from single-family homes to exquisite luxury chalets.
Just south of the Village, across from the Whistler Golf Course, lies the convenient neighbourhood of Brio. Here, potential purchasers will find a wide range of beautiful single-family homes, along with the exclusive Sunridge Plateau Development. At the southern end of the golf course is Blueberry Hill, where the resort’s first luxury subdivisions can be found. As you move further south to the border of Alta Lake you will find Alta Vista. This beautiful neighbourhood is halfway between the Village and Creekside and sits next to the private enclave of Lakecrest. On the shores of Alta Lake, Lakecrest offers unique and rare waterfront properties as well as vacant lots for building your dream home. Directly opposite the Village is Whistler Cay Heights, sought-after for its elegant residential feel while still being in close proximity to the action. Following the hill down you will reach Whistler Cay Estates which links to the smaller neighbourhood of Nesters, with its own shopping complex. Also known as Tapley’s farm, this area is very family friendly and is home to an elementary school and community sports fields.

COMMUNITY
FIVE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT WHISTLER After a ski trip or two, you might think that you would be familiar with everything there is to know about Whistler and the surrounding area. After all, you have skied, taken in the après scene, and maybe even befriended some locals who have shown you some 'secret' spots to find the best powder. But, there is much more to Whistler than meets the eye. Here are a few little known facts that will help you impress your friends with your knowledge, and may even make you fall in love with the area a little more.
#1 - LONDON CALLING In 1962, Franz Wilhelmsen and a group of Vancouver businessmen began exploring the rugged Coast Mountains just north of Vancouver with the idea of hosting the 1968 Winter Games. This search led them to the mountain we know today as Whistler. Since 1932 however, the mountain had been called London Mountain, taking its moniker from a mineral claim in the area and the low lying fog that was common in the area. As dreams for the area grew, early developers and advertisers were afraid that potential guests would associate the name London Mountain with bad weather and the mountain's name was changed to Garibaldi Whistler Mountain in 1965, one year prior to its official opening for skiing. The name Whistler was derived from the whistling sound made by the hoary marmots that are native to the alpine area and are often referred to as “whistlers”.
#2 - MORE THAN WINTER With Whistler consistently being ranked as one of the top ski resorts in North America it is no surprise that it is most often associated with winter - and rightfully so. Yet, it often comes as a surprise that most locals advocate for the summer as their favourite season in the resort. Coming for the winter and staying for the summer is a repeated story amongst many locals who have grown roots in the community. As anyone who has visited during the warm summer months and enjoyed the seemingly endless supply of outdoor activities can attest - Whistler summers are not to be missed.
#3 - SUMMER SKIING Speaking of summer, quality skiing and riding is not just a winter pastime in Whistler. During June and July, some of the warmest months of the year, there is shred-able snow on the glacier that can be accessed through Whistler Blackcomb’s summer glacier camps.
#4 - EPIC PARTNERSHIP Whistler (open since 1966) and Blackcomb Mountain (open since 1980) used to be two separate entities who competed against each other directly. This resulted in a rapid build of new lifts and expanded terrain as each mountain worked to outdo the other. The rival companies duked it out from their respective mountaintops until 1998 when the two mountains merged under the Intrawest Corporation and became known by the combined name of "Whistler Blackcomb”. As they say, the rest is history.
#5 - MOST TERRAIN IN NORTH AMERICA Due to the sheer size of the mountains and their epic partnership, Whistler Blackcomb boasts the most skiable terrain in all of North America. At a whopping 3,307 hectares, that is a lot of exploring. We'll see you out there!

THE VILLAGE & BENCHLANDS
THE HEART OF THE WHISTLER LIFESTYLE
JUSTA JESKOVA
THE VILLAGE & BENCHLANDS A RESORT VILLAGE It is not just the endless recreation activities, festivals, and events that make Whistler what it is, but the Village as well. Nestled at the bottom of the valley where the bases of Blackcomb and Whistler mountains converge, the Village is not only the main departure for gondola and lift access to 8,100 acres of in-bound terrain, but it is also a year-round venue for Whistler’s famous après scene, exciting street entertainment, and numerous festivals, not to mention a hub for world-class shopping and dining. The cobblestone pedestrian-only village is known for internationally ranked cuisine, a famous après and nightclub scene, high-end spas, and all the retail therapy an avid shopper could want. It was intended to be explored on foot and everything is within an easy stroll. There are stunning views no matter where you turn, and it was meticulously conceived to exist in harmony with its beautiful natural surroundings. The Upper Village is situated at the base of the Benchlands which is home to Lost Lake Park and the Chateau Whistler Golf Course. Linking the Upper Village to Whistler’s Lower Village, is Fitzimmons Trail, complete with a covered bridge alongside Rebagliati Park.
With mountain access via the new gondola coming this winter, along with a network of hiking and biking trails, residents of the Upper Village and Benchlands are right on nature’s doorstep and have some of the best access to Whistler’s recreation activities. The Village itself is lined with an exciting array of shops, speciality stores, nightclubs, restaurants, patios, and cafés offering each passerby a chance to linger as long as their heart desires. To ensure that there are homes available for tourists to rent and enjoy during their stay, the vast majority of properties within the Village and Benchlands neighbourhoods have restrictive covenants that cater to rentals for short-term visitors. Of the 7,000+ Village area properties, less than 50 are detached residences, but for those who want to live close to the action and enjoy the ease of having everything within short walking distance, the Village and Benchlands are the best options.

PEMBERTON AREA
WHERE EARTH MEETS SKY
ERIC MCINTYRE
PEMBERTON AREA PASTORAL PEACEFULNESS Located just 30 minutes north of Whistler on the Sea-to-Sky Highway through the scenic Soo Valley, lies the picturesque Village of Pemberton with all the charm and character of an old fashioned pioneer town.
Pemberton is also a gateway to back country adventures — whether it is the Hurley Pass into the southern Chilcotin Range, the Birkenhead Valley leading to Anderson Lake, or the Duffy Lake Road providing access to BC’s interior.
However, old fashioned couldn’t be any further from the truth. An agricultural heartland with farms, ranches, fields, and meadows, Pemberton’s farming community grows much of the local, organic produce, and cruelty-free meat offered on the menus in many of the Sea to Sky's restaurants.
This growing community has seen the addition of a waterpark, skate park, and pump track, as well as a state-of-the-art community centre and library, and colourful assortment of shops, galleries, and restaurants. Pemberton is also home to two golf courses, both set against the incredible backdrop of the mountains and valley.
While many choose to move to Whistler to escape city living and get back to nature, Pemberton offers an even more relaxed pace of life. The community is incredibly welcoming and populated by those who prefer a quieter life while still having access to a plethora of outdoor recreation activities. Mount Currie is the main focal point of the landscape, giving every property in Pemberton an incredible mountain view. The area is also surrounded by a number of breathtaking provincial parks each providing opportunities for adventure and exploration. Birkenhead, Garibaldi and Joffre Lakes, and Nairn Falls Park are huge draws for locals and tourists alike. With all the lakes, rivers, and mountains, the area offers golfing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, sky diving, and boating in the summer. In the winter, it is a playground for back country and cross country skiing, heli-skiing, and snowmobiling.

PROSPECT S T
PEMBERTON PEMBERTON MARKET REPORT Similar to the other communities in the Sea to Sky corridor, the real estate market in Pemberton was noticeably slower through the third quarter than was experienced in 2016 or 2017. Government policy impacted interest rates and affordability while several years of increasing valuation have combined with a limited supply of affordable options to slow sales activity despite strong interest from first-time buyers and families relocating to Pemberton. Despite the lower activity levels, strong buyer interest has continued to supported values and the overall average transaction value for real estate in Pemberton has increased by 15% since the start of 2018. Interest in family-style accommodation has increased values in all categories of the local marketplace with single-family homes sales now averaging $925,000, an increase of 13% since the start of the year. Meanwhile, average townhome values have increased by 21% to $584,540 and average condominium values now sit at $383,287 which is a 14% increase since January 1st. In 2018 we have seen several new housing projects in Pemberton that will appeal to many and will hopefully mitigate the lack of choice which is a defining characteristic of the marketplace. However, it is important to note that most decisions in Pemberton
are determined by affordability and the market doesn't have the ability to appreciate in a rising interest rate environment to the same extent that many other markets, such as Whistler, do. Going forward we expect the recent trend of low activity levels and longer time on the market to be the norm. New offerings at Crestline, Sunstone and Orion will provide a significant amount of medium density housing, while new single-family homes will be available at Tiyata, Sunstone and The Ridge. As such we expect buyers to proceed cautiously to ensure that they have considered all the choices that may meet their financial situation. Pemberton is a small marketplace that can change quite quickly despite rather small changes in supply and demand. To ensure that you get the most up-to-date and timely market information about the Pemberton area, make sure to call one of our local, full time, expert advisors.

SHARED OWNERSHIP FULL ADVENTURE AT A FRACTION OF THE COST
MIKE CRANE
No matter your budget or lifestyle, there is always a resort property suited to you and there is always a way to realize your own adventurous Whistler dream. The idea of a large financial investment, especially in a vacation home or getaway that will only be used occasionally, often prevents those thoughts from becoming a reality. But, with shared ownership, it does not have to be a dream. Why not consider splitting the investment with a friend, family member, or even a fellow lover of Whistler? Imagine having all the benefits of owning a scenic alpine cabin or cozy suite in the Village at a fraction of the cost and without the hassles associated with managing a co-owned property yourself. Shared ownership is a growing segment in resort real estate because it is specifically designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyle and economic realities. Fractional interests and timeshare opportunities are a perfect way to own a piece of Whistler and get outstanding accommodation amenities with full-service management. In addition, many shared ownership properties also offer a way to generate a little extra revenue through nightly rentals when you are not using the property. Affordable opportunities for shared ownership can be found throughout the resort in a number of premier and exclusive locations. They are designed as great lifestyle properties for those that want to come to Whistler and not own a full property.

COMMUNITY MAKING THE MOVE TO WHISTLER Every year we help hundreds of people fulfill their dreams of owning a property in Whistler. We meet people from all over the world, all chasing the same lifestyle. For those unfamiliar with the area it can sometimes be quite a learning experience, from discovering the different neighbourhoods, to understanding the local market. If you are dreaming of a move to Whistler, even if just for a few weeks a year, here are some things you need to know:
#1 - MOUNTAIN LIVING WITH BIG CITY AMENITIES While Whistler is a small mountain town it is by no means limited when it comes to amenities and offerings. The Village is packed with shops, restaurants, and bars. There are tons of local businesses offering any service you could want. The community is packed with entrepreneurs, business start-ups, and service providers. Unlike many small towns, there is rarely a need to look outside the boundaries of the community for anything.
#2 - IT IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK What makes Whistler the perfect location for many is its proximity to Vancouver. While the area does offer many amenities and services, having an international airport and a globally recognized city just two hours away is a big added bonus. A lot of mountain resorts can feel somewhat remote, however, Whistler offers closeness while also still retaining the feel of a classic getaway.
#3 - IT IS A NUANCED MARKET Most real estate markets tend to follow national or regional trends and can be fairly predictable in these respects, especially when it comes to outside investment. However, Whistler’s marketplace is incredibly nuanced and does not follow the trends of Vancouver and other surrounding areas. As a result, it is always best to speak to a local, knowledgeable Realtor when it comes to making decisions and venturing into the market because what you may expect and what is reality can often differ, especially when you factor in your specific needs and area of interest.
#4 - IT IS NOT JUST TOURISTS AND SKI BUMS There can often be a lot of assumptions made about an area from the outside looking in. When it comes to Whistler, one of the assumptions that often gets made is about the fabric of its population. Many assume that the area is mostly comprised of tourists and seasonal workers who are here to enjoy a ski season before retuning home, but that is far from the truth. Whistler’s resident population is primarily made up of long term locals - either people who grew up here or those that moved to the area years ago. In fact, about 10,000 people call Whistler home on a permanent basis compared to only about 3,000 seasonal residents. The community is incredibly warm and welcoming, and if you spend enough time here you are sure to feel like a local in no time.
#5 - IT IS A PLACE TO GROW Another thing you will notice about the community is how easy it is to make a life in Whistler and how many young families live here. As Whistler has grown, so to have the amenities for people of all ages. With a number of schools, tons of facilities, and a plethora of community activities and camps for children you may be hard pressed to find somewhere better to settle down and raise a family.

WHISTLERREALESTATE.CA
#6 - THERE IS A LOT HAPPENING... ALL THE TIME From arts and culture, to extreme sports and everything in between, there is always something happening in Whistler, no matter the time of the year. Whether it is a world-famous event such as the World Ski and Snowboard Festival or a free concert in the Village, there is never a shortage of things to do and experience.
#7 - WE HAVE A SUMMER AND IT IS AWESOME When most people think of Whistler they picture snowy mountains, skiing, and snowboarding. One thing that often surprises visitors is that Whistler summers are amazingly warm with long sunny days that turn frozen lakes into hot spots for locals and visitors alike who are looking to cool down and relax after a day of adventuring. Underneath the snow of the ski trails, hidden in the trees, lies a huge network of biking and hiking trails, including one of the best mountain bike parks in the world.
#8 - ACTIVITIES GALORE For the outdoor enthusiast, there is certainly no shortage of activities to enjoy in Whistler, no matter the season. From the classic skiing / snowboarding in the winter to biking, hiking and golfing in the summer you can add ziplining, axe throwing, whitewater rafting, snowmobiling, canoeing, bobsledding, and bungee jumping to the list - just to name a few. For those who prefer a little less adventure and exhilaration, Whistler is home to art galleries, yoga studios, escape rooms, a movie theatre, a museum and public library, and an abundance of other indoor and outdoor activities.
#9 - HUGE RANGE OF LIVING OPTIONS If you are considering a move to Whistler you are no doubt curious about the range of property types available. For those new to the area, Whistler is more than just the Village. Hidden behind the trees as you drive through town are a series of residential neighbourhoods stretching from Function Junction to the north end of Green Lake. Prospective buyers will find everything from condos and apartments to townhomes, original cabins to luxury chalets, and slope-side accommodation to waterfront homes. There is a huge range of living options to suit all tastes and requirements.
#10 - THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD The final thing to know about moving to Whistler is that it is undoubtedly the best place to live in the world (although we might be a little biased). From the beautiful scenery and endless activities, to the unparalleled lifestyle and welcoming community, we can’t think of anywhere we would rather be.
