Home Prices Decreasing in B.C.’s Ski Regions

Prices of detached homes and condominiums have registered slight decreases in B.C.’s popular ski regions so far this year. However, they are expected to increase in 2025 as interest rates continue their expected decline.

In the first nine months of the year, the median price of a single-family detached home in the province’s ski regions decreased 2.6 per cent year-over-year to $1,729,200, according to the 2024 Winter Recreational Property Report by Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. Meanwhile, the median price of a condominium also decreased 2.6 per cent to $477,500.

Royal LePage examined several B.C. ski regions including Whistler, Invermere, Revelstoke, Mount Washington, Sun Peaks and Big White. The Nov. 14 report noted that less snowfall has impacted some resort areas, although this is made up for during biking and golfing seasons. The report also noted that provincial measures regarding short-term rentals, which affect some ski regions, have resulted in more personal and family use of properties. The foreign-buyer ban similarly exempts some communities, also resulting in a varied impact.
