Is It Really a Buyer’s Market in Big Bear?

Direct link to the YouTube video. Depends on how you look at it? Sure, there are over 600 homes for sale in Big Bear right now. But, how many are truly saleable? I'd say less than 10%. By saleable, I mean priced correctly, clean and easy to show, and it isn't a short sale with no chance of getting approved. So, we've got less than 70 homes on the real estate market in Big Bear that are actually decent options for buyers to look at. When that happens, the buyers are all competing for the same ones. In that … [Read more...]

What Do Cash Buyers Know That Others Don’t?

Now is the time to buy! Here's a quick video I did on the cash sales in Big Bear along with two conclusions I came to. Direct link to the YouTube video. 1.  People with cash are moving to real estate as a good investment.  They are thinking prices are near the bottom and now is the time to buy. 2.  Just because you are paying cash, do not expect a huge discount off of the sales price.  In Big Bear, you can expect an average of 2% savings for paying with cash as compared to paying with a loan. As discussed in … [Read more...]

Searching for a Home in Fawnskin? Get a Local’s Perspective.

Fawnskin? What is that? Where is it? Why would I want to know about it? There are plenty of reasons to get to know Fawnskin. The quaint, lakeside town is located on the quieter, northwestern shore of Big Bear Lake. It is one of the many small communities that make up Big Bear Valley. Homes in Fawnskin are comparable in price to those located on the south side of the lake. The premium for these homes is placed more on being away from it all, instead of being in close proximity to the action. Even though Fawnskin is … [Read more...]
