Sun Peaks Real Estate - Is It Time to Buy a Ski Property?

Is this a great time to consider purchasing  Sun Peaks Real Estate?  Well, we certainly think so.  Or at least it was when we originally wrote this and bought our Stone's Throw and Trapper's Landing properties.  Since 2015 though, prices have really began to take off.

Skier smiles and sales of properties at Sun Peaks have continued to increase with no end in sight.  Record skier visits to the resort as well as one of the strongest seller’s markets in their history started in 2016 and show no signs of slowing down in 2018.  The two newest developments, Village Walk and Echo Landing, are now completely sold out.

Peaks West is a brand New Sun Peaks residential and commercial development project being constructed by our friends at Meranti Developments. Peaks West will be located by the entrance to Sun Peaks, between the Sun Peaks Fire Hall and the old Burfield Lodge, and will offer a mix of 2 and 3 bedroom condos, townhomes and some commercial space. They will have open floor plans, views of the mountains and are just a short walk to the Burfield Chairlift.

Sales of Sun Peaks properties doubled in 2016 compared to 2015, and there is now a big shortage of properties available to purchase and interested buyers are adding their names below to get on waiting lists.

Earlier, the resort saw a 63% increase in sales between January 1st and April 30th, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  A total of 24 sales were recorded in Sun Peaks between January 1 and April 30, 2015 compared to 15 sales in the same period in 2014.  Sun Peaks real estate also saw the same 63% increase in the average sale price – an increase of CAD $109,150 – between January 1 and April 30th 2015 when the average sale price was recorded as CAD $293,117, compared to the same period in 2014, when it was recorded as CAD $183,967.  Not all types of properties are seeing the big increases, yet, but the trend is certainly increasing and we thought it was a great time to buy in.

This June 26, 2014 Vancouver Sun Recreational Property article, confirms what the Sun Peaks Realtors have been telling us for the past six months – increased consumer confidence, healthier lifestyle changes, the growing popularity of Sun Peaks as a four season resort and a better property for your recreational property buck is bringing people back to Sun Peaks.

The market in Sun Peaks is still going great in 2020/21 despite the pandemic, or perhaps because of it? There is a renewed interest in recreational properties which is adding to the increase in sales here in Sun Peaks (lots as well). Pricing is steady and rising but we suspect across the board a pricing plateau as townhomes put upward pressure on value while single family detached homes are feeling the offset by resisting value increases. All of which is now more reliant on traditional financing (see us for mortgage assistance). Meaning, risk tolerance in a COVID world for banks is being looked at in a little more detail.

There is going to be two new projects released in the coming months - including the 2nd phase of Peaks West and the newly re-designed Altitude Project. Lucky for us, there is significant confidence in our local Sun Peaks real estate market.

ALTITUDE Sun Peaks is a 40 unit collection of 2 and 3 bedroom, ski-in/ski-out alpine condos and townhouses located right by the new Orient chair – perfect for creating new memories with family and friends. They offer multiple size floorplans, large modern open kitchens, gas fireplaces, room for four seasons worth of gear and large outdoor spaces with hot tub hook ups and propane BBQ connections.(sold out)

        Other Reasons To Invest at Sun Peaks
      

But it is probably still a good time, because the resort continues to grow in popularity and year-round attendance.  Other reasons to invest in Sun Peaks Real Estate include:

- owners who bought new 10 or more years ago now have different family, health and lifestyle situations so may be more willing to sell at a lower price so they can move on

- us hard-working baby boomers are realizing the huge benefits of having downtime, relaxation and physical recreational activities of all levels and Sun Peaks provides all of these in all 4 seasons

- Since becoming a municipality in 2010, more and more people are buying and moving full-time to Sun Peaks, which means more and more businesses and amenities won't be far behind

- if properly managed and promoted (we can help with that) your Sun Peaks property should hopefully appreciate nicely in value while also paying for itself and providing your family with a fantastic year-round recreational property at a world-famous ski resort

- many people who have been buying Sun Peaks real estate recently are choosing not to rent out their vacation properties, and with double digit growth for visitors at Sun Peaks, more demand will mean increased rents and property values.

- the market bottomed in 2013 and now has continued to head back up as detailed in this Western Investor article.

Prices have increased dramatically since we purchased our places, but with all that is happening at Sun Peaks, we feel prices will probably continue to increase for some time to come.  And in the meantime, we love enjoying all of the year-round recreational activities, events, concerts, etc.

Who wouldn't want to be a part of this?  Contact an experienced realtor and see if this type of investment is right for you.

From early beginnings 50 years ago as Tod Mountain, Sun Peak Resort has grown into one of North America's top 10 ski resort destinations in North America, Canada's second favorite and second most popular four season ski resort, and after the 2014 expansion, will be the second largest ski resort in Canada with over 4200 acres of beautiful champagne powder covered skiable terrain.

The resort is continually growing yet it seems so quaint and personal - we love that about Sun Peaks!

Whether you care to enjoy the 18 hole golf course, miles of scenic cross-country walks or Sun Peaks mountain hikes, leisurely mountain biking or extreme downhill biking, or the many other activities and festivals offered every weekend during the summer at Sun Peaks, or choose to enjoy all levels of downhill skiing, nordic skiing, snow shoeing, dog sledding and more in the winter, Sun Peaks offers so much for everyone.

Even the typically slower months, like spring and fall, are attracting visitors/renters.

      Hints about buying Sun Peaks Real Estate
  

Once we fell in love with Sun Peaks and decided to purchase a property in Stone's Throw at Sun Peaks, we found the services of a local Sun Peaks realtor invaluable in helping to select the best property possible for us, helping to arrange the purchase and key hand-over while not being there, and even for help after we moved in. 

They got us our Best Sun Peaks condo at a very good price and we are so lucky and thankful!  So much so that 2 years later we bought a beautiful Trapper's Landing Townhouse!

And they also told us about the pros and cons of investing in a Sun Peaks hotel style unit or other types of properties - very important Sun Peaks real estate information to know!

If you would like an experienced and recommended Realtor to assist you in your Sun Peaks Real Estate search, or simply complete and submit the form below and one will be in touch.

Once you purchase your Sun Peaks property - do you want to rent it to cover some or all of the costs?  Perhaps you can list with us to help promote you on our Sun Peaks Vacation Rentals page?  

Will you need a reputable 'full-service' property manager, or a 'part-time property manager' like we use?

They both have their pros and cons and we would be happy to discuss them with you.

There are very few Sun Peaks cleaners and Sun Peaks property managers.  Do you want to completely place your property in someone else's hands, or do you prefer to maximize your revenue opportunities by co-managing your Sun Peaks vacation rental?
