Whistler Real Estate Co Ltd, #137- 4370 Lorimer Road, Whistler, BC V0N 1B4

Compared to the World market – Whistler and Pemberton area Real Estate is very inexpensive. Some investors are well aware of this, and with 2010 looming in the not so distant future, we are sure to see more speculative Buyers entering our markets. The Executive director of the Park City Chamber of Commerce (Salt Lake City Winter  Olympics) was quoted saying that real estate values skyrocketed after the Games, but leading up to and through the Games, there was no significant increase in sales or values. Keep in mind that properties are booked with rentals during this period and security is tight. Showing appointments are difficult and perhaps not possible. However, the world wide exposure of the Games will enable us to showcase the superiority of our natural amenities and enhanced facilities of our already incredibly attractive ski resort. This will surely leave a lasting impression on investors and tourists. Very good news for property owners! Calgary and Salt Lake City continue to see economic benefits from their Olympic Games. It might be prudent for me to say sooner rather then latter would be your best bet if your thinking of investing in Real Estate in this neck of the woods. Get a head start of the rush in 2010.
