This 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath Cabin had barely hit the market when we got a great offer on it and my Seller said "Take it"  The day it was finished being cleaned and staged we got an offer!  Things are definitely heating up in our little market.  I had the privilege of meeting the buyers when they came to measure and their agent is out of town.  Very nice people.  Their young sons kept saying "I really like this place".  I'm glad and hope they make many treasured memories in this great cabin.

Previously Posted on www.tonycard.com I was reading through a Real Estate forum yesterday when I came across a consumer asking the question, "How Much Should I offer On a House?"  The majority of the responses were statements like, Offer 80% of asking price, or my all time favorite answer was LOWBALL the seller.  I'm sorry, but in my opinion, this is not giving a potential buyer in any market good advice!  Real Estate is just like the weather, it's local.  If you want to know what the weather is like in San Francisco, you are not going to listen to the weather reports for Boston.  What is happening in the Real Estate market in Rancho Cucamonga has nothing to do with what the Real Estate market is doing in Big Bear.  Just because you might be able to low ball a seller in San Bernardino d...

How Many Times Have You  Seen A For Sale Sign In Front Of An Interesting Cabin In Big Bear,  And Wondered About The Asking Price? If you're like most people thinking about buying a cabin in the Big Bear Valley, you see ads about cabins for sale, and it seems that everywhere you look, there are signs in front of cabins  that catch your eye. What has stopped you from calling the number on the sign?  Perhaps, like thousands of home buyers, you hesitate to call the real estate company on the "for sale" sign because you don't want a pushy, big mouthed real estate agents calling you at all hours of the day and night. To be honest, I don't blame you. With the age of the computer, there is now  a better way to obtain all of the information on the cabin for sale in a prompt, courteous manner, wi...

One of the most commonly asked questions that I am asked when showing property in Big Bear is, how much should I offer?  Is there a set rule that says I should offer 30% less than the asking price?  This is an excellent question and it is also a difficult question to answer. The reason I say this is because if you haven't gone through the education phase of looking at homes, you're not going to have any idea what a good value is.  When you review 30 to 50 listings on line, drive by 10-20 of them,  and then look at 5-10, you will recognize the cabins that stand out as a great value.  You'll also recognize the cabins that stand out as being anything but a deal.   Seller's price their homes differently reasons.  Let's take a look at some of them. 1. Ridiculously Overpriced Big Bear Cabin! ...

Most people think that the arrival of November is the start of the holiday season.  After all, Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  When I think of November, I think of the Santa Ana winds.  There hasn't been a year that has gone by without the Santa Ana winds howling through the Inland Empire in November.  It never fails that as soon as the Santa Ana winds start to blow, fires seem to break out.  There are times when these winds blow down a power line and this is the reason for the fire.  But in many cases, these fires start because of some sick arsonist. November 24, 1980 is a day that is etched into my brain for the rest of my life.  That particular morning I received a phone call from my younger brother.  He was needing some help repairing a fence that had ...

Originally posted on The Sugarloaf Real Estate Blog I've lived in Sugarloaf, CA since 2000 and have lost count of all of the accidents that have happened at the intersection of Hwy 38 and Maple Lane.  For those of you that are not familiar with the eastern end of the Big Bear Valley, Sugarloaf, CA is a small community that sits just off of Hwy 38.  The High School for the Big Bear Valley is located in Sugarloaf, as well as Baldwin Elementary School.  The main route in and out of Sugarloaf is Maple lane, which is rather steep and can get rather icy in the winter months.  Currently, the only traffic control at the intersection of Maple Lane and Hwy 38 is a single stop sign at the  bottom of the hill on Maple Lane.  I've lived in Sugarloaf since 2000 and I've lost track of how many acciden...
