Why I love SilverStar

I'm Sean Phillips, Chalet Sean, and SilverStar is my mountain. It's a real village, not just a ski hill: the main street sits mid-mountain at 1,609 metres, so from most of the village you ski out your door in the morning and ski back home at the end of the day.

• The skiing: 3,304 acres, 133 runs and 10 lifts, with 760 metres of vertical and about 700 cm of snow a year.
• Nordic: 55 km of cross-country trails at SilverStar, and 105 km together with Sovereign Lake next door, which the resort calls the largest daily-groomed network in Canada.
• Summer: more than 69 km of downhill bike trails, over 70 km of cross-country singletrack, 16 km of hiking trails and gondola rides to the summit.
• Everyday life: the Lord Aberdeen Market has groceries and liquor in the village, and about 336 people lived here year-round in the 2021 census, up from 98 in 2016.
• What's new: Pacific Group Resorts bought SilverStar in November 2025, the 2025/26 season added the Dandy Glades on the backside, and starting with the 2026/27 season SilverStar is on the Ikon Pass.

What to know before you buy

• Short-term rentals: SilverStar's resort accommodation area is exempt from BC's principal residence requirement, so nightly rentals are usually allowed. You'll still register with the provincial registry, owners who rent pay the Destination Silver Star resort association fee (see the FAQ below), and every strata has its own rules.
• No speculation and vacancy tax: SilverStar is in Electoral Area C of the Regional District of North Okanagan, which isn't a taxable area. Property taxes are billed by the province's Surveyor of Taxes.
• Foreign buyer ban: SilverStar is inside the Vernon census area, so the federal ban on non-Canadian buyers applies, currently until January 1, 2027.
• Water and sewer: water comes from the Regional District's Silver Star Water Utility, and sewer from a private utility, Silverhawk Utilities Inc. I'll confirm the fees for any home.
• Schools: there's no school on the mountain. Families are in School District 22 (Vernon).

SilverStar usually opens for skiing in mid to late November, depending on snow; check skisilverstar.com for this season's dates. Want the full picture of each neighbourhood? My detailed SilverStar guides are on chaletsean.ca.

Selling at SilverStar?

If you're thinking about selling, I can tell you what your home is worth in today's market and what buyers here are looking for. Here are the questions sellers ask me most.

What is my home at SilverStar worth?

I'll prepare a comparative market analysis using recent sales of similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, condition, updates and views. It's free and there's no obligation. Request a free home valuation or call or text Sarah, my AI assistant, at 604-227-4810.

How long does it take to sell at SilverStar?

That depends on price, condition and the season. When we meet, I'll show you how long similar homes have been taking to sell right now, and how pricing affects it.

When is the best time to list a SilverStar home?

Buyers shop the mountain most while they're up here skiing, so having your home listed and photographed with snow on the ground often helps. I'll walk you through timing for your property type.

Should I sell before I buy my next home?

It depends on the market and your finances. Selling first gives you certainty; buying first lets you take your time. I'll help you plan the timing, including subject-to-sale offers and bridge financing options.

What does it cost to sell a home in BC?

Commission in BC is always negotiable. My standard fee is 6% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the balance, plus GST, shared equally with the brokerage that brings the buyer. On an $800,000 sale, for example, that's $6,000 + $21,000 = $27,000 plus GST. That covers a lot of work behind the scenes, from me and from the technology I put in place, all aimed at getting you the best price and the easiest possible sale. Your other costs are legal or notary fees and any mortgage discharge costs or penalties. In BC the buyer, not the seller, pays property transfer tax. I'll give you a net-proceeds estimate before you list.
