Average sales price indicates the price of homes that sold, not the price increase or decrease of individual homes.
It’s interesting to note that Big Bear Lake and Chino Hills were the only two locations that had an increase.

NOD’s and Trustees Deeds Filed in California 2005 – 2009
By: Robert Kleinhenz, Deputy Chief Economist
The median price in California continued to increase in September, driven by lean inventory levels, while home sales remained on track with expectations for the month. The median price of a detached existing single family home was $296,090 in September, up 1.1 percent from the August median of $292,960, but down 7.3 percent from the September 2008 median price of $319,310. Barring a sudden decline in home values over the next few months, the statewide median price will register year-over-year gains by year end, although it will still be well below the mid-decade peak.
Sales in California hit 530,520 homes in September, up 0.6 percent from August sales of 527,120 homes, and up 2.1 percent from September 2008 sales of 519,530 homes. With sales expected to stay in the low- to mid-500,000 range through the rest of the year, annual sales for 2009 will finish about 20 percent higher than the 2008 annual sales figure of 439,830 homes.
Given recent price gains and sales levels, as well as lean inventory numbers that have averaged just over 4 months for the past 3 months, one should conclude that the California housing market is edging back toward its normal state. Indeed, these numbers are welcome developments for a housing market that was among the hardest hit in the country. But a look behind the topline numbers suggests that current conditions have resulted from a heavy dose of policy intervention and from efforts by lenders – who currently dominate the supply side of the market – to manage the flow of troubled mortgages and properties at all stages of the ‘foreclosure pipeline’ from delinquencies to REOs.
The number of defaults in California escalated rapidly in the last couple of years, with 111,700 defaults in the third quarter of this year and a record high of 135,400 defaults in the first quarter of 2009. Normally, the trend in foreclosures corresponds approximately to the trend in defaults with a one to two quarter lag so the number of foreclosures should be on the rise as well. Instead, the level of foreclosures has been steady at roughly 50,000 per quarter since the last quarter of 2008. This seems to be the result from the combination of policy intervention, including foreclosure moratoria last year and early this year as well as the federal loan modification program, and efforts by lenders to deal problem loans on a case-by-case basis. As a result, market supply has held steady at levels that have stabilized the median price at the state level and in most California markets. In a number of markets, there have been some modest price gains compared to earlier in the year.
With current government policies and lender practices in place, home prices in much of the state should hold steady, aside from normal seasonal fluctuations in prices between now and next spring. In the end, price stability is necessary for discretionary sellers, as opposed to distressed sellers, to return to the market and drive the supply side of the market to more normal conditions.

Does your Big Bear Real Estate agent tell you what you want to hear, or the truth?
Listening to a Real Estate agent that has their interests in front of yours can be a big mistake. I must admit that I have a problem, I am often Brutally Honest. Being honest is not the problem, but I know I could improve on the way I deliver the message.
I don’t do the sugar-coating thing well. I tend to tell it like it is and live with the consequences. I won’t tell you what you want to hear, unless I believe it to be the truth. It really makes things easy to remember.
When you work with me, you might hear more than you want to hear about the house. I might get in the way sometimes as if I were buying the house myself. Sometimes I will want repairs made that the buyer doesn’t seem to care about or is not aware of. That’s just how I am.
If I am representing you as a buyer, I might tell you all of the things that the seller would rather have you overlook. I will more than likely be at the home inspection and in addition to thoroughly looking at the items that the home inspector discovers, I might ask him to look at things that he didn’t discover or mention. I will also let you know as a buyer that repairs done by sellers are often done with the cheapest materials and least expensive labor that the seller can find. This doesn’t always equate to the best results, so I will often recommend that we get a bid from someone who knows how to do the repair correctly, at a fair price. I might tell you that the house you like is over priced, or not the best value. Isn’t that the type of honesty you deserve?
If I am your listing agent I will tell you the recommended list price based on market conditions, not your needs or debt. That’s not to say I am not flexible at all or sympathetic to your financial situation, but I will give you the real price, even if you don’t like it. I will recommend the work needed to get the home sold and lead you through the selling process. I will work with you on improvements that need to be made by providing contractors and handyman that will perform their jobs as professionals. I will be available to return your calls timely and with real answers. Don’t be surprised if I tell you your home is worth less than some other agents will tell you. I won’t give you a price that is 20% above what I believe is the real value just to get your signature on the listing agreement. I might offer to show you the other homes that a buyer will look at in your price range to show you the reason your home needs to be priced correctly.
After all, what sign do you want to have hung in front of your home in 90 days?
or
If your agent of choice is unable to put your interests first, you need to find one that will.

- Recent Sale: 39427 Silver Pine Court November 12, 200939427 Silver Pine Court closed escrow yesterday. This was a short sale and had multiple offers on it. It previously sold on 2/6/2006 for $1,700,000. The seller put it back on the market a year later for $2,299,000 and has chased down the market ever since (it was on the market for 695 [...]Mike Wochner
- Big Bear Lake is Off Limits During the Wintertime November 10, 2009Saw this on the Jay Leno Show last night. This is a painful but funny reminder that Big Bear Lake partially freezes over during the Winter. This was a frozen lake over in Europe not Big Bear Lake but hopefully you get the picture. Big Bear Lake is off-limits during the Winter season for [...]Mike Wochner
- Two Big Bear Lakefront Price Reductions This Week November 10, 2009Two price reductions to report. Maybe someone read “To Reduce or Not Reduce” regarding price changes last week? That, or it’s just that time of year when sellers either reduce their price or hold firm and hope for the best. I’m guessing many sellers have given up on the thought of selling their lakefront property [...]Mike Wochner
- Pending Sale: 39645 Lake Drive, Big Bear Lake November 6, 200939645 Lake Drive went into escrow today. I was planning on showing it tomorrow….guess we’ll cross it off the list!

- Pending Sale: 651 Cove Drive, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315 November 3, 2009651 Cove Drive went into escrow today. This was IMO the best property in the $1.5m range. It had deep water, was sold partially furnished and was priced well below what the sellers paid for the property back in March of 2007 (click on the links below to view detailed property info and to view [...]Mike Wochner
- To Reduce or Not Reduce? November 3, 2009As the season changes (temps at night are in the high 20’s low 30’s) the focus starts to shift away from the lake and more attention gets placed on the ski area. This is the time of year when sellers (if they’re motivated) start counting the number of days left in the year. They know [...]Mike Wochner
- Priced Reduced on 39537 Lake Drive October 27, 2009The owner of 39537 Lake Drive reduced their price again. This time they’ve dropped it below the $1M mark ($999,995). It has a great setting out back, but not sure who advised them to start at $1,890,000 back in 2007? They bought the property for $849,000 back in August of 2002. Below is the history [...]Mike Wochner

- Don’t Hate The Player, Hate the Game October 23, 2009The battle continues over the non-regulation of kayak/canoe rentals on Big Bear Lake…IMO, non-marina business owners have increased the popularity of kayaking in Big Bear Lake through clever marketing, superior products, and good internet presence. They’ve created a niche for themselves and I wouldn’t blame em for profiting….just reg […]Mike Wochner
