In January and February of this year, we saw 60 new listings hit the market, 30 in January and 30 in February. Comparing it to 54 last year it’s not a drastic leap, but the sales are considerably higher with 30 total sales this year so far. 2019 saw 20 in the first two months.
Kelsey Serwa is a Big White Ski Resort local, that made it big! Since learning how to walk Kelsey has been skiing at the resort and has made the community at Big White extremely proud , in fact, there is even a ski run named after her! The #homegrownheros favorite run is Born to Run.
The next stages of life for Kelsey include getting married this September, working towards her physiology degree and a six-stage mountain bike race. “I love racing. I love that feeling” Kelsey also recently started a scholarship fund which gave $10,000 to three different students-athletes.
Average sale prices continue to gain momentum as Junes average sale price was $483,800, an increase of approximately 15k from May of this year, and, an even greater increase from June 2018 where the average sale price was just $292,500. If you like numbers, that is a 65% INCREASE! However, that doesn’t mean that all of the current listings at Big White are pricey, you can get into a mountain property for UNDER 100k; however, if your budget is more generous, there are also properties listed for up to 6.3 million.
