Comparing Home Values in Whistler

I have a 4.5 bedroom home listed for sale on 8476 Matterhorn Drive, in Alpine Meadows, Whistler BC.  It is located on the upper part of Matterhorn Drive and sits on a 12,700+sq ft, flat lot with great views of Whistler Mountain.  It is a decent home at 2400 sq ft and generates $3450/mo in rental revenue.

A home two doors down sold for $2.6 million in 2005. 

So what is the market price right now in today's market?

There have been 8 single family (detached, chalet, or cabin) homes sold in Whistler since October 1st including one on 8417 Matterhorn Drive on December 4th.

Let's compare properties:

   8417 Matterhorn Drive  8476 Matterhorn Drive
 List Price  $799,000  $899,000
 Selling Price  $785,000  
 Bedrooms  4  4.5
 Bathrooms  2  3
 Size  1500  2380
 Lot Size  9150  12800
 View and Location  Some, lower end of street  Of Whistler Mtn, upper end of street

8476 Matterhorn is a bigger home on a larger lot, a rare flat lot, has better views, and is located on the quieter upper area of Matterhorn Drvie - known as one of the best locations in Alpine Meadows.
