First of all, “Happy Mother’s Day” to all of the beautiful mothers out there!!

Below are links to the monthly lists of “Sold” and “Pending/back-up” properties for April.  It was another strong month with 118 total sold properties and another 240 that are either “pending” (in escrow) or “back-up only” (mostly reserved for short sales that already have an offer, but still waiting for bank approval) status.

Below are the monthly Big Bear Real Estate sales statistics for the month of December.  Once again, we saw several increases in avg. sales price and avg. $/sqft (especially in Big Bear Lake-general and Big Bear City); as well as the majority of homes selling within 5% of asking price (LP/SP).  In addition, the inventory of homes for sale has dropped even further.  As of this morning, the Big Bear MLS shows only 353 single family homes available for sale in the entire valley, with only 8 foreclosures in the best rental areas (Big Bear Lake, Moonridge, and Fox Farm).

Here’s a link to this weekend’s edition of “What’s Up at 7000ft”.  Highlights include “Rock & Ride” at Bear Mtn Resorts (featuring DJ’s and local radio stations, KROQ, KIIS-FM, and KHTS) as well as the 2nd Giant Slalom Ski Race at Snow Summit.   Runs at both resorts are 100% open, but attendance has been huge, so book your tickets in advance online!

Have a great rest of the week!
