Observations:
- Big Bear Real Estate inventory has increased 77% in the past 6 months. This gives buyers more choices and forces sellers to price competitively if they want to win the buyers over and receive offers. Inventory is now starting to stabilize.
- Price differential (list price to sales price) remains high at 97.75% .
- Days on the market are are creeping up from 80 days last month to 99 days average for sold properties.
- Sellers need to establish list price based upon sold comps, not active.
- Price decreases are increasing which is an indication of sellers reaching in original list price.
- With interest rates rising, inventory rising and confidence softening, we may be in for a correction in the near future.
