With two bedroom Whistler rentals averaging approximately $4,250 per month and condominium purchase prices often exceeding $1 million, finding an affordable place to call home can be challenging.

At Mount Currie View Village in Pemberton, brand new two bedroom homes start at $449,900 plus GST. Even with the $700 monthly pad fee, ownership may offer significantly lower monthly costs than comparable Whistler housing.

While homeowners lease the land, they own their home, with the opportunity to build equity as they pay down their financing.

It's an alternative approach to ownership that combines modern, low-maintenance living with
a substantially lower entry price in the Sea-to-Sky corridor. 

Own a home of your own.
Enjoy the Whistler and Pemberton lifestyles.

In my latest market update, I talked about how buyers have plenty of choice and are taking more time to compare properties, assess value and make informed decisions.

The recent sale of this beautiful Green Lake waterfront home to buyers from Vancouver is a good example.

With its private dock, spectacular mountain views and year-round appeal, 9297 Lakeshore Drive offered something special. Equally important in today's market is presenting a property with clear, accurate information so buyers can properly assess its value and make a confident decision.

My takeaway? Buyers are still buying. They're simply being more selective, and properties that offer the right combination of value, quality and good information are getting attention.

Congratulations to the sellers and the new owners. A wonderful piece of Whistler to call their own.

Pemberton’s commercial and development market continues to show steady activity in 2026.

Several industrial properties have sold so far this year, with a combined value of just over $4.1 million and an average sale price of approximately $1.37 million. Sales range from a 0.48-acre industrial lot at $949,000 to improved properties trading between $1.25 million and $1.9 million.

What stands out is the continued demand for well-located industrial land and flexible commercial space. Buyers are looking closely at usable site area, existing buildings, servicing, access and future development potential. With a limited supply of commercial and industrial property in Pemberton, strong opportunities continue to attract attention.

Pricing remains property-specific. The difference between vacant land, strata space and improved sites can be significant. For owners considering a sale, understanding current demand and positioning the property properly remain critical.

A short boat ride from Secret Cove or Buccaneer Bay, the beautiful 1.3 acre property balances the charm of a remote, natural setting with the practical comforts of a well-equipped cottage.

Features include two bedrooms including a loft-style master with a queen bed, a main-floor bedroom with two singles, plus a sofa bed in the living room. The open-concept living space is warmed by a wood-burning fireplace and boasts 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows framing incredible north-facing ocean views and sunsets. 

With a fully equipped kitchen and a wide-open great room, the cabin is perfectly suited for relaxed meals, lively gatherings, and memorable times with family and friends.

A rare opportunity to secure a 66’ by 132’ (0.2 acre) lot in the downtown core of Pemberton.

Flexible C-1 zoning allows for multiple commercial and/or residential use and rezoning may also allow for a four-storey building. Previous approval allowed for ten residential and two commercial units. Steps from cafés, shops, dining, and transit plus, 25 minutes from Whistler, this property is one of the last undeveloped  remaining in the Village. With no foreign buyer, speculation, or vacancy taxes, this is an exceptional investment vehicle in a community that needs new homes and businesses.

I just posted the Royal LePage June Q2 report and compared it to the recent BC Real Estate Association Report for July.

The two reports are aligned overall, but they measure different things. BCREA highlights improving sales across BC, while Royal LePage focuses on some price declines in Greater Vancouver. The combination suggests early stabilization, not a strong recovery.

Royal LePage’s latest Greater Vancouver report describes a market with improving activity but continued price pressure. Royal LePage reported a 4.5% annual decline in Greater Vancouver’s aggregate home price and forecasts prices will finish 2026 approximately 3.5% below last year. Together, the reports suggest buyers are gradually returning, but higher inventory and cautious consumer confidence continue to favour well-prepared buyers overall.

The Real Estate Association Report is cautiously optimistic about sales momentum, whereas Royal LePage remains more guarded because prices are still declining. Those positions are not contradictory. Sales activity generally needs to improve before sustained price growth returns.

The report suggests buyers have not disappeared. Many have simply been taking their time. With more inventory available in some markets, they can compare options and wait for the right property. Ongoing economic uncertainty is also influencing when and how people make a move.


A few trends I am watching are buyer confidence, inventory levels, and the impact of inflation on interest rates. While inflation increased in May, the Bank of Canada has held its key lending rate at 2.25 per cent since October 2025. Even if rates move modestly higher, today’s buyers appear to be responding strategically rather than reacting quickly.


For sellers, this means pricing and presentation remain especially important. Buyers are active, but they are selective. For buyers, there may be more time to assess value and negotiate.


I will continue to follow the regional data and share the information that matters most to our local markets.

With four bedrooms, three bathrooms and more than 2,300 square feet, the home offers flexible living with a separate suite and Mt. Currie views. Extensive renovations, landscaped gardens, a greenhouse, and a year-round sunroom made it an attractive offering.

The Glen continues to be one of Pemberton’s most established family neighbourhoods. Residents enjoy generous lots, mountain views, quiet streets, and easy access to schools, trails and the village. It is always rewarding to see a special home pass into local hands.

Detached homes continue to perform well, with demand holding up and pricing showing signs of resilience. While the condo market remains a little quieter overall, activity varies significantly between neighbourhoods, with some areas seeing stronger buyer interest than others.

What I'm seeing on the ground is a market that rewards patience and preparation. Buyers have the opportunity to be selective and negotiate thoughtfully, while sellers who price strategically and present their homes well are still attracting strong interest.

For many clients, today's market offers something we haven't seen in quite some time: the ability to make decisions without feeling rushed. Whether you're considering a move this year or simply keeping an eye on the market, the current landscape provides a welcome sense of stability as we head into the second half of 2026.

That said, the full story isn’t in the headlines. Over the past several weeks, activity has noticeably improved. Showings are up. Well-priced homes are moving. Buyers are engaging more decisively.

While caution remains part of the landscape, early signs suggest the market may be finding its footing as we move further into spring.

Great properties find the right people. If you’re considering making a move, I’d be glad to show you what’s available or discuss what your property might be worth today.

HOUSE PRICE 2026 Q1 SURVEY

I originally listed and sold this Pemberton Meadows acreage in 2016, and after a decade of stewardship by a wonderful family, I’m pleased to have introduced it to its new owners... a young couple, born and raised in Pemberton, purchasing their first home. A fitting transition for such a special property.


Set on 3.43 acres in the heart of Pemberton Meadows, this 2,160 sq. ft. rancher offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and flexible living space framed by sweeping mountain views. A 1,000 sq. ft. barn with power and water, fenced horse fields, vegetable gardens, irrigation, and direct access to crown land and river trails make it a rare retreat.

A true legacy property now ready for a new generation of memories.
