The Right Asking Price Makes All The Difference
April 19, 2009 by Leave a Comment
I talk with a lot of home sellers in Big Bear. Some are thinking of selling, and some are trying to sell right now. The conversations are really not all that different. Most of the time, it comes down to the pricing. Here are a couple videos I did over the past week relating to selling a home in Big Bear. See if you can guess what the common theme is for both of these. [viddler id=2d5f7e69&w=545&h=349] This real estate market is for serious sellers only. That's why banks make up more than 50% of … [Read more...]

March 28, 2009 by Leave a Comment
I've mentioned it here before, the lakefront real estate market in Big Bear is unique.
