Big Bear Lakefront Home Goes Into Escrow: 651 Cove Drive, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

Lakefront Home Goes Into Escrow: 651 Cove Drive, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315 I’m a little surprised this lakefront home took as long as it did to sell. For one, it’s “bank owned” and when buyers hear those two words they automatically think value. And unlike most bank owned properties, this one is clean and updated. [...]

Huge logs throughout, hardwood floors, marble, slate, granite and a wine room….Ummmmm . A true mountain home. Stay tuned for closing details….I would hope for Gilligan’s sake [...]

Good Article on Estate Planning Pertaining to Vacation Homes

I was catching up on some reading this week when I ran across this article in the Wall Street Journal, written by Kelly Greene.

Southern California’s Rim of the World

In most of Southern California, “Winter” means clear, brisk days, morning fog and snow capped mountains.

Direct link to Big Bear Real Estate – Who Controls Real Estate Pricing? In short, the buyers.
