      <description><![CDATA[<p>Whistler received some disappointing news today as global media giant ESPN announced that the X-games would not be coming to town in 2013.&nbsp; Favouring expansion into 3 cities (Barcelona, Munich and Foz do Iguacu, Brazil) for summer X-games, the decision put a damper on the efforts that Whistler Blackcomb, Tourism Whistler and the Municipality of Whistler had taken.<br><br>Of course, the current plan of continuing with the Telus World Ski and Snowboard festival offers a great fallback without the anticipated $750,000.00 expense needed to bring the X-games here.<br><br>This past week&rsquo;s good news was that Whistler enjoyed its strongest March and into April room bookings since the recession.&nbsp; This, combined with December and January&rsquo;s record setting bookings will see this year&rsquo;s overall winter bookings exceed a 10% increase over last winter.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>We had 19 new listings, 13 price reductions and 15 sales occur in the past 7 days, compared to 21 new listings, 14 price reductions and 18 sales that we saw the previous week.&nbsp; Of note is the 51 expiries that occurred yesterday.&nbsp; I was hoping to see a higher amount of new listings come to market today, but still feel fairly bullish that there are more to come this spring.<br><br>Although we continue to see a prevalence of price reductions which points to a Buyer&rsquo;s market, the lower pricing means our absorption rate is picking up.&nbsp; The rule of thumb is: sellers market over 20%, balanced market 15% &ndash; 20% and Buyers market below 15%.&nbsp; Quarter 1 of 2012 gave us 17.9% with 123 sales/ 685 listings.&nbsp; While I hesitate to say we are in balanced market at this time, if the current trend of increased purchasing continues, there may be less selection to choose from at the lower price points.<br><br>Please <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nickswinburne.com/Update">click here</a> to view&nbsp;the past week&rsquo;s new listings and price changes as reported by the Whistler Listing System.&nbsp; Please contact me directly for sales.<br><br>A 2 bed 2 bath unit in Greyhawk in Blueberry hill caught my as offering good value.&nbsp; The fact sheet can be viewed here: http://matrix.buywhistler.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=219888230<br><br>If you have friends or family who would like more information on these or other Whistler opportunities, please forward my contact information to them.&nbsp; I would welcome the chance to see how we can help them call Whistler &lsquo;Home&rsquo;.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Telus World Ski &amp; Snowboard Festival kicked off this past weekend.&nbsp; The base of Whistler Mountain was the place to be on Saturday as a good gathering of people braved the chilly evening to watch the Snowboard Big Air, with the Skiers&nbsp;taking to the air&nbsp;next Saturday.&nbsp; Throughout the week, visitors and locals alike will be treated to a great mix of sports, art and culture.&nbsp; This year may mark the last of the Telus festival as Whistler&rsquo;s bid to host the X-games for 3 years starting 2013 will hopefully meet with a positive reply.<br><br>As our winter season comes to a close, I expect the real estate season to start to heat up.&nbsp; I feel we will start to see more inventory come to market now that the winter rentals are finishing and properties should start becoming easier to show.&nbsp; While interest rates continue to stay at record lows, recent increases in fuel prices will have a trickledown effect on inflation and variable interest rates.&nbsp; My local mortgage broker is expecting variable and fixed rate increases of at least 1.5% over the next 18 months with a strong possibility of rates increasing by 2.5% to 3% over the next 4 years.&nbsp; I believe this will prompt people who have been contemplating a purchase into the local market, to make the move.<br><br>We had 20 new listings, 20 price reductions and 6 sales occur in the past 7 days.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>March 31 ended our 1<sup>st</sup> quarter of the year and this prompts me to compile a quick 2012 Q1 YTD review compared to the sales figures we saw during the same time in 2011.&nbsp; Please note that the figures in brackets are the average sale price for the quarter.</p>
<p>Total Whistler sales 137 ($716k) compared to 127 2011 ($640k)</p>
<p>24 chalet (1,636k) compared to compared to 21 2011 ($1,197k)<br>43 Condo ($443k) compared to 47 2011 ($547k)<br>49 Townhouse ($708K) compared to 35 2011 ($684k)<br>15 Shared Owner ($98k) compared to 17 2011 ($127k)<br>2 duplex ($629k) compared to 2 2011 ($812k)<br>3 vacant land ($776k) compared to 3 2011 ($863k)</p>
<p>In the past 7 days we had 21 new listings, 27 price reductions and 12 sales take place. This compares to 24 new Listings, 28 price reductions and 21 sales that we saw the previous week.&nbsp; The big number this week was in the 35 Expiries we saw on the 1<sup>st</sup>.&nbsp; As always it will be interesting to see if these properties come back on the market, and if they do, will there be a reduction in price?</p>
<p>Overall we have seen the majority of purchasers come from the lower Mainland, a trend that I feel we will continue to see as Vancouver purchasers continue to capitalise on a strong Vancouver market and weakened Whistler one.</p>
<p>Please <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nickswinburne.com/Update">click here</a> to view&nbsp;the past weeks new listings and price changes as reported by the Whistler Listing System.<br><br>8 properties that I feel are ready to move can be <a href="http://matrix.buywhistler.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=215773235">viewed here.</a>&nbsp; I will add that this list includes 2 new listings of mine (102 Highland Annex and 63 Glaciers Reach) as the vendors are keen to see offers.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have family or friends looking into the Whistler market, now is a great time to get started.&nbsp; This year I am focusing on growing my referral business.&nbsp; I would welcome the opportunity to earn their business and in return I would extend a referral fee to you to say thank you for recommending me.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ask any Realtor in Whistler what question they are getting asked the most, and they would probably reply with &ldquo;What do you think the market is going to do in the next (<i>fill in # months here</i>) months?&rdquo;.</p>
<p>As many people know, there is currently a large amount of inventory available in the Whistler market, but in the past 3 months we have also seen Buyer activity pick up.&nbsp; Although some vendors are still faced with pricing above what the current market will bear, when properties come to market that are appealing both in price <i>and</i> condition/location, these properties typically have a line up of Buyer agents ready to submit an offer to the listing Realtor.&nbsp; In this scenario, we go from a Buyer&rsquo;s market to a seller&rsquo;s market very quickly.<br><br>As reductions to continue to occur now that our winter season is wrapping up, I feel Buyer activity&nbsp;will continue&nbsp;so it's important to be prepared.<br><br>In the past 7 days we have had 24 new listings, 28 price reductions and sales are moving along at 21. This compares to 22 new Listings, 16 price reductions and 18 sales that we saw the previous week.<br><br>Please <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nickswinburne.com/Update">click here</a> to view&nbsp;the past weeks new listings and price changes as reported by the Whistler Listing System.&nbsp;</p>
<p>7 reductions that caught my attention this week can be <a href="http://matrix.buywhistler.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=214602202">viewed here.</a> </p>
<p>If you have family or friends looking into the Whistler market, now is a good time to get started.&nbsp; I would welcome the opportunity to earn their business and in return I would be happy to extend a referral fee to you for business that turns to a successful sale.</p>
<p>Have a good week,<br>Nick<b></b></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[One of my favorite homes in Whistler is back on the market.&nbsp; After purchasing back in August of last year, the current owners have opted to find something even more private and have relisted&nbsp;for what they paid, at $4.2m.&nbsp; For a fact sheet and photos, follow the link below:<br><a href="http://matrix.buywhistler.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=213203973">http://matrix.buywhistler.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=213203973</a><br><br>]]></description>
