Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: Lake Level Update - 05/30/08 11:08 AM
With the weather system that came through the area over Memorial Day Weekend, rain water was running down the sides of the streets and snow and slush covered the roads.  The run-off brought the lake level, as of 05/29/08, to 5106.16 feet.  This is just about 8 inches shy of being … (0 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: The Cream of the Crop - Agent Tour Highlights (5/29/08) - 05/29/08 05:15 PM
It was the quiet after the storm, so to speak, with a very small tour this week.  The big push for most sellers was to have their property on the market by the holiday weekend and so, accordingly, there were fewer this week than normal.  Unfortunately, the weather for Memorial Day Weekend … (0 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: The "True" Foreclosure Numbers.... - 05/28/08 01:20 PM
Okay, so the "buzz-words" in the real estate communities these days are "foreclosures," "bank-owned," and "reo's."   With "the-sky-is-falling" abandon, the media is hyping the talk about the current real estate market.  Prices are dropping, people are losing their homes right and left and distress sales are the majority of the deals being done … (2 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: Weekly Market Update (05/18/08 - 05/24/08) - 05/26/08 01:22 PM
Still a good number of new listings are making their way onto the market.  Of course, the push for most was to get their homes listed prior to the holiday weekend.  It was a busy weekend on the mountain, though poor weather hampered some showings and open houses.  Fifty four new listings … (0 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: Bank-Owned (REO) and Short Sale Properties For Sale (as of 5/24/08) - 05/24/08 07:28 PM
Bank-owned properties are one step away from crossing into "the 40's" in terms of number of listings for the first time since I've been doing this page.  Seven new REO homes make the list this week, along with an equal number of price reductions.  Short sale properties still hover closer to 30, … (2 comments)

According to our office's "tour re-cap" group, there were some really good values and then there were some … (3 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: The Best Deals Out There... - 05/12/08 03:00 PM
Each Thursday, agents in our association "hit the pavement" to tour new listings, price reductions, etc.  It is how we stay abreast of all the newest listings and the properties that have reduced their prices.  Some are great, others are so-so, still others are not (by any stretch of the imagination) … (3 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: Bank-Owned (REO) and Short Sale Properties For Sale (as of 05/12/08) - 05/12/08 12:33 PM
Bank-owned properties continue to sell well, especially at the lower price ranges.  There are good deals to be had.  Four price reductions in the REO sector, with almost as many new listings (3).  The number of foreclosed home listings remains around 35 - seems they are selling at roughly the same … (0 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: Summer Concert Series Continues... - 05/11/08 03:57 AM

Tonight we were taken back to the days of Journey and, to tell you the truth, if my eyes had been closed I would have thought Steve Perry himself was belting them out from Center Stage.  The band "Lights" was phenomenol. 

Haley loved the music and danced the night … (1 comments)

Lake Arrowhead Real Estate: Bank-Owned (REO) and Short Sale Properties For Sale (as of 05/03/08) - 05/05/08 12:13 PM
It was a relatively uneventful week with bank-owned properties.  Only 3 new properties and two price reductions.  The total number is edging closer to 40 - almost 10 more than when I started doing this analysis about 2 months ago.  Short sales saw 5 new properties added to their ranks, but not one … (1 comments)

It was a ton of … (2 comments)

This is 100% financing with a 30-year fixed interest rate (currently … (0 comments)
