What does the CMHC say?

In its most recent post, CMHC has received public feedback and is working to finalize the details and regulations under the Act, and how to enforce it.


CMHC's summary of the legislation is:

"The Act prohibits non-Canadians from purchasing residential property in Canada for 2 years. This act doesn’t affect Canadians and permanent residents. There may be exemptions for certain groups of people, types of residential property, and particular circumstances – these have not yet been established.

Foreign Buyer Ban

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) published an update on the "Prohibition on the purchase of residential property by non-Canadians Act" (also called Foreign Buyer Ban) which comes into force January 1, 2023.

Did you know?

Sales Increase the closer we get

to Ski Season?


As we head into cooler temperatures our minds turn to...... skiing!

Did you know that a significant number of our sales each year occur just before the ski season begins? Buyers look to purchase their Whistler ski 'cabins' before the snow falls and skiing opens November 25th.

If you were considering putting your property on the market, fall is a great time to consider it.


My January to September review of the market shows that prices are remaining strong in all categories of properties.  Time to sell is a little longer and we are not seeing as many multiple offers.  The market is changing across North America with almost all areas lacking in properties for families to purchase.

How much are lawyer fees to buy or sell a home?

According to the Law Society of British Columbia,there are no fixed rates set for legal services.  There are 4 common methods used by Lawyers to calculate how much it costs to use their services:

  1. Fixed fee: regardless of the amount of time it takes.  This is common for real estate transactions
  2. Hourly rate: includes phone calls; meetings; research, preparing documents for court, letters, court appearances etc.  You will be invoiced on an ongoing basis.  
  3. Contingency fee:  a percentage of money you may win in a case
  4. Retainer: you put money on deposit and the lawyer will ask you for more as time goes on.
