According to a web article on City News Everywhere a parking spot recently sold for a staggering $195,000 In Whistler Village, nearly equal to a down payment on a Vancouver home. This "rarely available" gem sits near the Whistler and Blackcomb village gondolas, right at the base of a luxury hotel in the heart of the action.

Realtor Shauna O’Callaghan explains that it's a game-changer for homeowners who lack village access. This spot's uniqueness fueled its high price. O'Callaghan, who has sold parking spots before, notes that this one set a record, selling at the asking price within a week due to its rarity.

To put it in perspective, Whistler's parking rates average $14 per day, which means it would take over 38 years of daily parking to reach $195,000. However, for homeowners in Whistler, this spot is a prized asset, elevating their lifestyle and property value.

While this might sound unusual, it's not the first time a parking spot has commanded a high price in B.C., with Vancouver spots going for as much as $100,000. In Whistler, this isn't just a parking spot; it's an investment in a snowboarding paradise that's worth every penny.
