Market Review
Real Estate sales activity during the third quarter of 2011 was highlighted by strong activity in the townhome segment of the marketplace.
Overall, sales activity improved by approximately 7% over that reported for the same period last year. Strong interest continues in the marketplace for life-style oriented, ready to move into opportunities which should insure that sales activity for the year will exceed that achieved in 2010.
The average sales price for a single family home was $1,248,000; for a condominium was $265,240; and for a townhome $605,113, during the most recent quarter.
Current high levels of interest in Whistler real estate opportunities should continually support the improving sales activity which will begin to be reflected in sales values. Increasingly, we find that the best valued properties are attracting offers quickly as purchasers are following the market closely looking for the best opportunities.

Market Report
Pemberton market activity maintained a steady pace during the last quarter and as compared to the same period a year ago.
The impact of the large increase in employee oriented properties in Whistler continues to be felt in terms of the velocity of sales and price achieved in negotiations particularly for properties within the village.
There is slow but steady interest in rural and recreational properties in the SLRD from residents of both Whistler and Vancouver.
Average sales price during the last 90 days for a single family home in Pemberton was $439,000; for a townhome $265,300; and for a house with acreage in the SLRD was $490,000.
Pemberton and area continue to be the best priced option for home ownership in the Sea to Sky Corr

Regarding Lisa Hilton, Whistler Real Estate Company,
I am now comfortably settled in my little house on Vancouver Island, largely due to the efforts of Lisa Hilton, my real estate agent; Lisa Hilton was the third realtor in approximately one year since my husband died whom I had signed with to see my large home in Pemberton during an unfavourable sellers market.
Lisa was very practical with many insightful tips about the presentation necessary to attract buyers. She made a point to schedule weekly open houses and then made sure all the features were shown during walk thru`s. Her guidance during the whole process of selling and moving to a new area was invaluable and definitely made my life easier and less stressful. Her positive attitude throughout helped immensely.
I signed Lisa Hilton on February 15 2011 and by March 15 2011 prospective buyers were in place. I would recommend Lisa Hilton to sellers anywhere. She is not only an incredible real estate agent but also an amazing woman.
Sincerely Jan MacFayden

Dear Lisa
We wanted to send you a big thank you for all the open houses you held at our home!
We really do appreciate all you effort and time .
You went above and beyond !It didn1t go unnoticed!
Thank you so much!!!
The Plibeam family!
Hi Lisa,
We’re not entirely sure Pemberton is going to fit us as well as we hoped and we’re going to take a few weeks to digest everything we absorbed during our day with you. If anything develops for us here we will certainly be in touch with you. Thank you ever so much for your thoughtful guidance last weekend; I wish we were going to be business and neighbours to you! Jeff and I both felt you went above and beyond to help us get a solid sense of the area and how we would fit in. You are stellar at your job! In case we don’t have cause to be in touch we wish you the best success.
Blessings,
Brenda
