More About Big Bear Lake, CA Homes For Sale

By Ryan Boon

I have lived in Big Bear Lake, CA almost my whole life. I am also an expert in Big Bear Lake, CA homes for sale. I often share with people the quaint and cozy details of the log cabin-style homes I am showing them. But what I love most about Big Bear Lake, CA homes for sale is that they come along with a great city.

Big Bear has the best of both worlds for the week and weekends. This small town is very peaceful when visitors are away. Going out is seldom a hassle with lines and parking. There are no crowds and no one is hurrying you along. Also many homes are not primary residences, so there is a lot of quietude on many streets. Compared to the hustling cities down the hill, Big Bear can be quite a relief, especially to your lungs. We do have very, very clean air up here.

Next time you are up here, take a minute to just breathe. The air is light and fresh and free of that chemical aftertaste that is so prevalent throughout the rest of The Inland Empire. Because the air is so clean, you can really see the stars at night. Especially if you are on the outskirts of town where there are not as many streetlights. Then you can really get a good look at all the celestial glory.

What really sets Big Bear apart from the other mountain communities is our wide array of services. In the other communities, you are lucky if they have one smaller supermarket with a limited selection. In Big Bear we have two full size supermarkets with full meat departments, produce sections, deli's, etc.

Where the other areas might have two or three restaurants to choose from, Big Bear Lake, CA has dozens. We have two multi-screen movie theaters, a bowling alley, a Kmart and just about everything you could possibly want while you are up here. Just because you are away from home doesn't mean you have to give up any of the conveniences of home.

Finally, a Big Bear home is a good place to invest your money. Because we are comprised of mainly second and vacation homes, we have not been hit as hard as other areas by the current recession. As a whole, Big Bear Lake, CA homes have held their value much better than the rest of San Bernardino County. Bank Owned Properties are only making up between 5-10% of our current MLS.

Some cities have over half of their real estate caught up in foreclosure. Big Bear real estate is actually on the rise in a way. More and more Big Bear Lake, CA homes for sale are actually being sold. This year we are up almost half as much more than last year. And most houses are being bid on and are not forced to take their first offers.

As you can see I'm kind of an advocate of Big Bear Lake, CA homes. If you're still interested in more about Big Bear Lake, CA homes for sale, look around for more of my ramblings. Hope to see you up here where everything is better soon!
