November 18, 2009, Kimberley, B.C. – Mountain Spirit Resort and Spa in Kimberley, B.C. is enticing prospective vacation homeowners with their pre-ski-season price specials on a limited number of studio, one and two bedroom suites.

The newest and classiest resort in the Kootenays opened this year and homeowners will be able to enjoy a full ski season at Mountain Spirit for the first time. Despite a sluggish economy, it’s full steam ahead in Kimberley with $11 million being spent on roads and infrastructure and a $6 million Conference Centre and Paralympic Training Facilty breaking ground last month. Delta is also continuing it’s flights three times aa week from Salt Lake City to the newly expanded Canadian Rockies International Airport.

Special prices are available on selected suites until December 19 - opening day at Kimberley Alpine Resort.

“These incentives are a great opportunity for those who know what a fantastic ski destination Kimberley is as well as those looking for an exceptional vacation property,” Allyson Blake, director of real estate marketing at Mountain Spirit Resort and Spa, says. “With our prime ski-in, ski-out location, ski season is our peak sales season. But if buyers wait until the lifts start up, they’ll be too late for these special prices.”

All suites are ready for occupancy and include a custom furniture package, appliance package, a furnished terrace and premium window treatments. Homeowners will also enjoy main floor ski lockers, underground heated parking, a complimentary two year membership in the exclusive Resort to Resort home exchange program, an optional rental pool managed by Bellstar Hotels & Resorts along with access to fitness facilities and the year round heated pool and hot tub, opening soon. Plans are also underway for a 6,000 square foot spa and a slope-side gourmet restaurant and patio.

These pricing incentives come at a great time for investors as the B.C. Real Estate Association has reported the real estate market is gaining momentum in B.C.

“Upward momentum in consumer demand continued unabated in September,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA Chief Economist, in an October press release. “Low mortgage interest rates and renewed confidence in real estate assets has propelled BC home sales to a level not seen in two years.”

According to the BCREA, September posted the highest number of B.C. MLS® residential sales for that month since September 2005, and the third highest ever recorded for the month of September.

“The market indicators are very good heading into the New Year and we expect a lot of interest when ski season begins,” Blake says. “These limited time prices are a great chance for buyers to get ahead of the wave.”
