Pemberton, BC Real Estate
With a population of just over 2500, but a very impressive recent growth rate, the village of Pemberton has become a hub for the surrounding Pemberton Valley, and a tourism centre as the gateway to the interior of British Columbia.
The growth Pemberton has experienced in the past few years has driven real estate prices higher. In the past eight years, prices have seen a 200% increase. But current home prices still represent a terrific value when compared to Whistler, an easy commuting distance to the south. Pemberton may not want to call itself a bedroom community for Whistler, but its population includes many Whistler tourism workers.
Not only does Pemberton offer residents terrific values in house prices, but it can boast of clean water, fresh air, and some unsurpassed mountain vistas. Pemberton is home of the Big Sky Golf and Country Club and has the only small plane airport in the area, which is a boon to local retail business and industry. It is also its own travel destination for vacationers interested in outdoor recreation, such as hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, camping and fishing. Three provincial parks surround the village of Pemberton.
All around Pemberton, you can witness the growth the village is experiencing. A new elementary school has recently been completed, and a good number of the homes are visibly new construction. Single family homes, townhouses, and commercial property are currently being developed and the real estate market is as busy as it’s ever been. So whether you’re looking for a year-round home in Pemberton or perhaps a vacation home close to world class skiing in Whistler and the outdoor recreation of Pemberton Valley, now is a great time to invest in the real estate of Pemberton.
