Without any warning, you come to Whistler and find that this is the place you want to retire to, come to visit often, or if you’re like me – just never leave. It happened to me, I first visited Whistler during spring breaks, then for just one winter after University (College) but the winter stretched into 5 years.

Real Estate in Whistler can be very confusing. Hey, this is a trend… the layout of the Village is confusing… getting around is confusing… and now buying property is confusing. What can I say, a small price to pay to access Paradise.

Properties come in every known form in Whistler; condos, townhouses, homes, chalets, timeshare, quarter share, points, you name it, you can buy it. The choice is yours depending on your means and the lifestyle you desire.

For any real estate transaction you need to use a Whistler Real Estate Agent. A good one should be able to guide you through a maze of information.

The Whistler Property Listings are not available on the Internet though mls.ca, because Whistler has their own listing service, but it’s not live and accessible online. You need to work with your Real Estate Agent to get the most up to date information on the current listings. There are some listings available from different sources on the Internet, but the most up to date information is still only available from the local real estate agents.

Stay tuned for a series of posts that will contain more specific information about Real Estate in Whistler.
