If you are looking for a deal in Big Bear, focus on the homes that can be sold.

  • In 2009, 80 short sale homes actually closed escrow.
  • That is 9% of the 893 homes that closed in the Big Bear MLS.
  • Currently there are 66 short sale listings that are in Pending, Active Contingent, or Contingent Status.
  • That’s 39% of the total Pending, Active Contingent, or Contingent Status (170).
  • Anyone want to guess what percentage of these will actually get accepted by the bank and close escrow?
  • Don’t assume that a short sale home can be sold for the listed price, many are listed well below the true market value.
