Click here to see the details on these 12 homes.
*As you can see, homes in the Big Bear area are still selling within 10% of the list price consistently. Buyers that want to purchase here will be disappointed if they expect to find homes selling for 25% or more off of list price. This also means that homes won’t sell until the price gets close to market value. Overpriced homes (over 90% of the listings) will sit with no activity until they lower the price to meet the market.

Year to Date Price Per Square Foot For Homes Sold in the Big Bear Area
When you start your search for a second home in Big Bear you should spend some time looking at the different locations. Location drives land value and that is why the same house is worth more or less in different areas.
Lakefront homes for example have higher land values. The current land value combined with the improvements (house) establishes value. That is why a home on the lake that is functionally obsolete will still have a high value of one million dollars if it is located in a deep water location with a view.
This also explains why a beautiful home in a less desirable area may be worth little more than the building costs, and sometimes less. Land has not been selling recently because construction costs are higher per square foot than the existing inventory pricing.
Most homes that were built in the 90’s for example had a building cost of less than $100 per square foot. Currently we are seeing building costs between $150 – $225 per square foot using a licenced and insured contractor.
These are the different neighborhoods in the Big Bear area, and the average price per square foot sold year to date.
- Lakefront – $516.44
- Big Bear Lake West – $227.30*
- Big Bear Lake Central – $186.41*
- Big Bear Lake East – $199.93*
- Fox Farm – $197.14
- Moonridge – $201.01
- Fawnskin – $220.82
- Big Bear City – $147.83
- Whispering Forest – $160.11
- Sugarloaf – $125.58
- Erwin Lake – $124.67
- Meadowbrook – $216.36
- Baldwin Lake – $147.66
- Lake Williams – $117.81

Location, Location, Location, it’s Important in Big Bear too!
I think some buyers are going about the home search backwards. They seem to be caught up in the deal. Sure, the deal is important, but the biggest goal should be to purchase the right home in the right location.
In the Big Bear Valley there are many different locations to look at homes. The areas, in no particular order, are:
- Big Bear Lake West
- Big Bear Lake Central
- Big Bear Lake East (Eagle Point, Eagle Point Estates, Summit Estates)
- Fox Farm (Castle Glen and Eagle Mountain)
- Moonridge (High Timber Ranch)
- Fawnskin
- Whispering Forest
- Big Bear City
- Meadowbrook
- Erwin Lake
- Sugarloaf
- Lake Williams
(Just click on any of these to see the google map of the neighborhood)
Price is very important, but if the house is in the wrong location, you’ll have a tough time selling it to the next guy. The best way to make your second home a keeper is to pick the location first.
Please give me a call to discuss Real Estate in any of these areas. As a resident since 1990, I can tell you why they all appeal to buyers with different needs.
