Below is your weekly update for the Big Bear real estate market as of 12/22/2008.
The number of residential properties listed for sale in Big Bear now stands at 1039, down 7 from the 1046 total for last week. This number should continue to drop as we head into the slower winter months and sellers take their properties off of the market.
The number of houses in escrow now stands at 95 (9% of the total listings), down 5 from last week, while the number of closed sales stands at 644 year-to-date, up 6 from last week.
There are currently 374 vacant land listings for sale in Big Bear, which is 2 less than the number last week. The number of pending sales stands at 9, down 1 from the week prior, which is only 2.4% 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 69 sales for the year, up 1 from last week.
The number of condos for sale in Big Bear remains at 51, and the number of pending sales remained the same as well with 3 condos currently in escrow. The number of condos sold in Big Bear for the year stands at 21 total, identical the past three weeks.
