by Blanche Evans
Big Bear City and Big Bear Lake are located in the San Bernardino mountain area, offering year-round fun and relaxation for residents and visitors, say local Realtors. "Big Bear Lake is a place for all seasons," says Realtor Cher Mayer. "Year-round recreation ranges from lake to snow fun." About the market, she suggests, "The demand for a second or retirement home in the mountains remains strong. Big Bear Lake is a beautiful resort town in 7,000+ elevation, above the smog with blue skies and clean air. It's between 1-1/2 and 3 hours away from most Southern California areas. The town offers year-round four season recreation. We have a wonderful climate with sun in the summer, snow in the winter and glorious and colorful springs and falls." About the market Mayer explains, "As of 08/25/04 there are 173 properties for sale in the Big Bear Lake area ranging in price from $97,500 to $3,333,000 - something for everyone's taste and budget. Big Bear City is adjacent to Big Bear lake on the east, says Mayer. "Big Bear City continues to show a strong demand for second and retirement homes in this San Bernardino Mountain Resort Area," says Mayer. "As of 08/25/04, there are 166 properties for sale in the Big Bear City area ranging in price from $105,000 to $1,450,000 - a great price range for everyone!" Realtors Marc Hower and Donna Jenkins say, "Big Bear Lake is located within hours of Orange County and Los Angeles County. During the summer and fall months enjoy boating, fishing on our public lake which is 7 1/2 miles long. During the winter and spring months, visit one of our two ski resorts, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Home Prices range from the mid to high $100,000.00 to over a Million for Lakefront Homes." About Big Bear City, Hower and Jenkins say, "Big Bear City is located just east of Big Bear Valley. It is the older section of Big Bear Valley with a mixture of older smaller homes and new construction. Home prices range from the low $100,000. It has the original feeling of Big Bear with quiet neighborhoods." |
