Homes Sold in Moonridge Area of Big Bear

These are the statistics for the 90 homes that have sold in the Moonridge area of Big Bear since June 1, 2010.

90 Homes Sold in Moonridge Area of Big Bear

One of the more important numbers on this summary is the price differential. At 98.38%, this tells me a couple things that buyers and sellers in Moonridge should note. First, most homes sold in Moonridge during this time period sold within 2% of the list price. Sellers that list their homes with a price cushion that exceeds 10% will not see the showing activity required to produce an offer. Buyers that offer 10 – 15% below list price will often be outbid. Knowing what the market value really is will be the difficult factor for both buyers and sellers. With 142 active listings in the Moonridge area, we are now at a 9.4 month supply. There are 19 home that are in escrow currently. During this same period last year we had 117 closed transactions in Moonridge. While days on the market often is used by buyers to determine what price to offer, the more important number is days at the current price.

If Your Going To Sell, I Wouldn’t Wait For The Market….

I was at this same meeting yesterday with Tyler. Even though this isn’t a positive message, I think it is important for sellers to hear. Thanks Tyler!

Something that I also heard from Leslie Appleton Young (Chief Economist for CAR) is that over 50% of the homes that sold in California last year had multiple offers. This is important to understand as a buyer, great deals are not found by only one buyer.

Are You Ready to Buy a Cabin in Big Bear?

Most buyer’s start their search online before they contact a realtor. This gives the buyer a feel for the market, but not always a true picture.

After you have done some research online, you should contact a lender to determine the current mortgage rates, what you will qualify for, and a price range that will produce a payment that is comfortable on you budget. Taking the time to get your prequalification with a lender will allow you to avoid looking at homes that out of your budget.

Most lenders currently require a minimum of 20% down payment for second homes, and it’s a good idea to offer 3% in good faith deposit. Closing costs are additional cash needed to buy, so be sure to inquire with your lender what these will be for your loan etc.

This is also a good time to select a local Realtor to represent you during the buying process. Selecting your agent is an important process. I would recommend reading blogs from agents that live and work in the Big Bear area to get a feel for the agent that will best represent your interests. It would also be a good idea to check the agent’s client endorsements and reviews. Once you select your agent, I recommend communicating your list of wants and needs so that they can best serve you.

Every buyer wants to get a great deal, but great deals aren’t going to last long. Be ready to act quickly once you see the home that fits your needs and is priced like a deal. Be prepared to compete with other buyers, and often these homes will sell at or above the listing price.

Don’t forget to bring your checkbook!

16 Homes Sold this Week in Big Bear 3/20/2010

Click here to see the details for these homes.

  • 9 of these homes (56%) were bank owned foreclosures, with average days on the market of 63.
  • 4 of these homes (25%) were short sales, with average days on the market of 292.
  • 2 of these homes (12.5%) were traditional sellers, with average days on the market of 67.

The ratio of closed short sales is the highest that I have seen this week. I don’t think this is a sign of things to come, just a coincidence….

Price differential is still holding high at 99.82% of list price. Overpriced properties are not selling. If you are a seller in this market, your list price is the most important thing that your agent provides to you. Don’t make the mistake of interviewing multiple agents and selecting the agent with the highest price, or lowest commission.

Big Bear Area 10 Year Residential Deed Recording History

Big Bear Deed Recordings YTD through February 2010 are down 11.6% from last year for the same period.  This is a small number considering the inventory is down to 624, close to 30% less than the approximately 900 units on the market last year at this time. It feels and looks like we will have a strong March, with 41 closed sales in the first 18 days. If you would like to discuss Big Bear Real Estate, please give me a call.
