December 2009

The snow gods were generous for this holiday season. On top of record snowfall we had sunny days with warmer temperatures in the alpine. We are seeing lots of activity with the preparations for 2010 which is only weeks away. 2010 of course being synonymous with the Olympic games in Vancouver with Whistler as a host venue.

Interest rates are still at record lows and the real estate market has many affordbale opportunities for all investors. Excellent rental income is in place for February or there is still stime to buy and enjoy the Olympics in your new whistler home!

Best wishes for the coming year!

The solid high pressure system that hung over us for early December brought great skating on all our lakes. The snow is back now with 70 cm in the last 2 days. We are set for Christmas now although we have room for more powder.

There is incredible value right now in the Village hotels. The modern twist on the family getaway. Hotel revenue assists with the costs of ownership. Whistler real estate is an investment in the health of your family. Typically families are mcuh more active here both summer and winter. Buy now and enjoy the benefit of our low interest rates and the Olympics revenues.

Most buyers are going with a line of credit on their principal residence to get the most competitive rates. Garibaldi Mortgagae is in house and can assist with your application immediately!
