Presented on 8/16/2021

Were not alone

During this process we are learning that we are not the only mountain towns to experience workforce housing due to many factors.

 

We have found that cities such as Telluride,  Big Sky and Truckee have recently started similar programs.  We are hoping to work with the city to find the best possible solution for Big Bear.  Every city has it's own issues,  but some ideas may translate to Big Bear and some may not.

Experts say that COVID accelerated markets

Real Estate Experts back in May of 2020 stated that COVID will change everything and possibly be permanent.  People are moving from cities to mountain towns (working from home),  people are buying 2nd homes rather then taking expensive trips,  RV's and campgrounds are sold out,  off road vehicles are sold out.  Boats and tents are more expensive.

The Big Question - Yes as of 4/2022 occupancy is way down.

Will Big Bear Lake's real estate market return to PRE-Covid,  continue on its current path or end up somewhere in between.


Yes we are seeing a slowdown in the Vacation Rental Market which most experts believe that this will force new buyers (last 18 months) to sell or list their home as a full-time.   BUT HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE?  

The Time Is Now

We welcome all ideas!  The time is now to work together to find the best solution for Big Bear.
