Below is your weekly update for the Big Bear real estate market as of 12/15/2008.
The number of residential properties listed for sale in Big Bear now stands at 1046, up 13 from 1033 last week. Though it did go up over the past week, I still expect this number to dip under 1000 as we head into the first four months of 2009.
The number of houses in escrow now stands at 100 (10.4% of the total listings), identical to last week, while the number of closed sales stands at 638 year-to-date, up 11 from last week.
There are currently 376 vacant land listings for sale in Big Bear, which is 2 more than the number last week. The number of pending sales stands at 10, up 1 from the week prior, which is only 3% of the total vacant lot listings.
Selling a piece of vacant land in this market continues to be nearly impossible. Unless you are willing to take a big hit on the price, I would recommend holding on to the property until the market changes quite dramatically.
Closed sales for vacant land stands at 68 sales for the year, same as last week.
The number of condos for sale in Big Bear is 51, down 1 from last week, while the number of pending sales moved up 1 to a total of 3 condos in escrow. The number of condos sold in Big Bear for the year stands at 21 total, identical the past couple weeks.
