Big Bear Weather

Donna Wochner (Gilligan Log Homes & Real Estate) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:03:37 -0800

Today was the third winter storm that hit the San Bernardino mountains this season. Snow levels dropped to 3,000 feet as we've had more than 2 feet of fresh powder. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain welcome the snow along with many skiers and snowborders!! Click here for a current snow report from Snow Summit's website.

R-2 restrictions are in effect, meaning all vehicles must have chains except those with four-wheel-drive and snow tires on all four wheels. Be sure to check the updated road information here before driving up the mountain.

Half Log Construction versus Full Log Construction

Donna Wochner (Gilligan Log Homes & Real Estate) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:07:04 -0700

So you are looking for a log style cabin and you're not sure what type of construction fits your needs...a full log home or a half log construction? I've put together the pros and cons of full log home ownership versus the half log construction (log sided construction).

Half Log Construction:

One of the greatest advantages to choosing a half log construction is the opportunity for a variety of interior finishes. You can choose which walls you want drywall and which walls you want to put wood in. Usually half log constructions are lighter and brighter. They offer less maintenance...no settlement issues found in full log homes so that means no slip joints or screw jacks. This might all sound like contractor mumbo jumbo, but it is something you'll find out during your discovery period.

Ease of construction is another big factor. With half log constructions, plumbing fixtures and electrical wires are installed the same way as a conventional home. No drilling holes into the middle of logs, and its much less labor intensive. For log home purists, half log constructions lack the true authentic look of a mountain cabin. Yes, your cost of construction is much less but some feel like a true mountain cabin doens't feel rustic unless you have full logs surrounding you.

Full Log Construction:

Full log homes have a super warm feeling. Nothing says rustic design like a full log home. The aesthetic appeal and charm is second to none. They are typically soundproof and very solid as far as strength.

As far as drawbacks, everyone I talk to seems to have concerns regarding the maintenance and contraction/expansion of the the logs. Yes, wood tends to swell and contract leaving air leaks and gaps. And I've also know homeowners who have needed to adjust their doors because of settling. All of this is the cost of log home ownership and should be weighed when considering full log ownership.

If you are in the market for a log home, please contact Donna Wochner so she can help you find your perfect mountain retreat.

Want A Deal? Here's Real Estate Auction Information for Big Bear City California!

Donna Wochner (Gilligan Log Homes & Real Estate) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:12:18 -0700

Everyone is looking for a deal these days so below is information regarding upcoming auctions for property in the Big Bear Valley. Auctions aren't always the best deal in town. Sellers that have a lot of equity in their home sometimes price their home more aggressively and we have bank owned properties that are often better deals than what you find at auctions. If you are in the market for a good deal, contact me first. I can email you a list of properties regardless of who's selling it.

If you plan on going to an auction exercise the following advise:

Do your research and have a good understanding of what needs to be fixed prior to making a bid. Most properties sold at the auction are sold "as is" with no warranties. Knowing what's sold in the area and what your return on your investment is critical in knowing you got a good deal.
Make sure you know the terms and conditions of the auction. Did you know its typical for a successful bidder to pay a buyers premium of 5-10% of the purchase price? So if you bought a property for $200,000 expect to pay a commission or "buyers premium" of $10,000 to $20,000 on top of the original $200,000 purchase price.
Don't get carried away with all the hoopla at the auction. Once you've hit your price limit, walk away and move on. You don't want to get over-emotional about a purchase if you are expecting to get a good deal. There will be other opportunites.

The Real Estate Disposition Company (www.ushomeauction.com) has been one of the nations most prominent and successful auction marketing companies since 1990. Here's three properties being sold on August 24th.

726 Maltby, Big Bear City, CA 92314

1310 Malabar, Big Bear City, CA 92314

431 W North Shore, Big Bear City, CA 92314

The Pacific Auction Exchange (www.epaxonline.com) is another real estate auction company with the distinction of doing all of their auctions online. This is nice because you don't have to sit in a big warehouse building with hundreds of other people waiting for a particular property to come up. You do everything electronicly. They have one property listed for sale right now.

219 E Country Club, Big Bear City, CA 92314

If you are looking for commercial property in the Big Bear area, the old "Hot Spot" is going to public auction Aug. 9th at NOON at the property (41011 Big Bear Blvd, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315).
Bar, Restaurant, Two Homes, Barn (On Major Road with vast public parking lot with direct access. Originally listed at $1,300,000. Approximately 1,250 SF Bar Restaurant, & 2,000 SF residential areas in three buildings. Business, Liquor License, fully equipped and operating kitchen, Bar and restaurant fixtures and fittings and goodwill. Two legal parcels being sold together zoned commercial and residential totaling approximately 17,000 SF. Buyer to verify. Sold AS IS, No Contingencies. Click here for more information.

Again, auctions may or may not be the way for you to get a good deal in today's market. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like more information about the Big Bear area.

Painting Contractors in Big Bear Lake California

Donna Wochner (Gilligan Log Homes & Real Estate) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:32:53 -0700

It isn't uncommon because of our extreme weather conditions to reseal, caulk, chink, and restain your exterior logs every couple of years in the mountains. Usually it is a combination of water and sun (the sun's UV rays) that does the most damage to the exterior of your home. Many log homes have different exterior finishes (acrylic finish, oil-based finish, semi transparents and translucent finishes) so make sure you choose something that gives you the look you want but also provides UV protection. Contacting a local reputable painter is a must unless you have the spare time to do a good thorough job.

Here's a list of qualified painters in the Big Bear Valley area.

My 4 Favorite Log Home Design Features

Donna Wochner (Gilligan Log Homes & Real Estate) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:59:29 -0700

Here are a few of my favorite design features found in log homes here in the Big Bear area.

1). Open Floor Plan (Great Room)- most of today's newer constructions are built with a large kitchen facing the family room, large expansive windows, and one big room. One can picture large family gatherings and entertaining with friends. Many of the clients I work with spend most of their time in the great room.

2). Open Loft- it's always nice to have 2 gathering areas. An area in the great room for one group of friends and family to congregate and a separate area upstairs for the kids/grandkids to hangout. Open lofts are commonly used for game rooms, bedooms, and to take advantage of the views.

3). Massive Corner Fireplaces- fireplaces are an essential part of the log home feel and are usually a big focal point of a great room. Massive stone fireplaces, large wrap around hearths, and large mantels help provide the entire mountain feel.

(This home is located at 42020 Eagles Nest in Eagles Knoll and is currently for sale with Gilligan Log Homes and Real Estate for $2,495,000). For more information regarding this home click here.

4). Walls of Windows- properties that have a nice view often have a "wall of glass" which brings a lot of light in, it makes the room feel bigger, and it brings the outdoors inside your home.

(This home is located at 42525 Pegasus in Castle Glen and is currently for sale with Gilligan Log Homes and Real Estate for $1,489,000). For more information regarding this home click here.
