It's certainly understandable considering that the demand is outpacing the supply, and people are seeing the potential for tremendous profits. Yet beyond the investment opportunity, people are discovering that Whistler is indeed a fantastic vacation destination.

Bus service also traverses the mountain with regularity so if you make friends with someone in a mountain chalet you can visit them without stressing over the road conditions. You can also find regular bus, taxi, limousine, and trains to take you the 2.5-hour scenic Sea to Sky drive from Vancouver Airport.

Whistler properties for sale are currently neighboring in the $500,000 range. That doesn't mean to say that you won't be able to find a nice condo for around $200,000, but frankly they are rare. Many Whistler properties for sale in the better sub-divisions, offering larger units and more amenities are well over $1 million. Ironically, these high-end offerings seem to go as fast or faster than the less expensive Whistler properties for sale.
