A few notes about the market –
Homes sales are picking up and the +17 for week is good proof.
There were 24 residential properties that went into escrow the past week. This is the second strong week for pending sales. 17 (70%) of these sales were either bank owned or short sales. So, only 7 (30%) were organic sales. This is further proof that distressed properties are the market right now in Big Bear.
While the prices may be dropping, the number of sales is increasing so there is a silver lining.
Residential properties continue to dominate what is selling, making up 129 (86%) of the 150 total properties that are in escrow and all but 2 of the closed sales so far this year.
