COVID-19 and the Big White Real Estate Market

October 27, 2022April 27, 2020 by Joan Wolf

COVID-19 abruptly ended the 2019/2020 season at Big White Ski Resort. With the resort closed until further notice, we are all staying at home, homeschooling the kids, working from our new makeshift home office and finding new routines. It’s definitely a drastic change from gearing up, hitting the slopes and adventuring around the resort.

Big White Ski Resort remains closed for the time being, but because real estate is deemed an essential service there are still 124 active listings on the mountain and new properties still coming to market. With such amazing online marketing tools, an interested Buyer can easily view a property by way of a virtual tour, video, and photos. And, just as importantly, a Seller can feel confident that their property is still being marketed to its fullest during these times.

My outlook for the resorts future is positive, I believe that the mountain’s economy will remain strong. With our response to COVID-19 and the US dollar being at almost 1.50 I am cautiously optimistic that Canada, BC, and especially Big White, will be sought after real estate in the following months.

Still want to explore the mountain?

There are some approved off-season trail access that you may use. *PLEASE NOTE* The mountain is closed and no access of any kind is permitted to the trails and/or areas within the controlled recreational boundary on Big White Mountain. With the exception of low impact activities such as dog walking and snowshoeing in the highlighted area on the map. Check out there MAP here.

First Ever Big White Realtor Tour

October 27, 2022October 15, 2019 by Joan Wolf

Last week over 30 Realtors journeyed to Big White Ski Resort for the first ever Realtor Tour. Ten luxury properties were showcased during the tour, with a parade of vehicles convoying to each one and ending with a special luncheon at The Crescendo, where the best of Big White was featured.

The afternoon started by meeting at noon sharp outside of my Big White real estate office in the Village just under Snowshoe Sam’s. Over the course of two hours, we showcased and visited 10 high end properties, from top quality penthouses, income producing duplexes, and high end chalets. The tour included a vast array of available options on the market today.

The final part of the tour took place at the world renowned Crescendo, which was just voted Worlds Best Ski Chalet 2019. A spectacular set of guest speakers including Graham Sullivan with Owner Relations, Marlin Weninger, the leading expert on construction at Big White, Harry Pettit with Royal LePage and Jim Loyd, Director of Sales, took the time to educate the attending Realtors on a few things that makes Big White Ski Resort special within the Real Estate industry worldwide.

Local beer and wine, an in depth tour of the Crescendo provided by House Manager Sheila, and delicious tapas provided by The Bullwheel created a lively, ground breaking event at Big White.

A very big thank you to all of the presenters, behind the sceners, and the Realtors that attended!! With of all of your support this inaugural event at Big White Ski Resort was a success!
