Our mountain market is suffering from the same economy affecting the rest of the country. Home owners trying to sell locally find themselves in competition will bank-owned properties. The advantage goes to the buyer.
There are a couple of things to consider before you plan your escape to the mountains. The job market is limited so be sure you have an income stream or can telecommute. It takes an hour to get down the mountain on either Hwy 38 or 18. Winter driving can be a challenge.
If you're prepared for mountain life, and can handle a six foot snow fall, then there is no better place in Southern California. We're located in an alpine valley and are blessed with a nine mile lake. The summers are mild and the outdoors is everywhere.
Big Bear is a four season resort community with Bear Mountain for the snowboarders and Snow Summit for families.
