Spring 2020 Mammoth Lakes Real Estate Market Conditions Amidst COVID-19
As of today, Monday, April 20th, the Mammoth Lakes real estate market has a total of 81 condos, 30 homes and 29 lots listed for sale. Traditionally, around April 15th, both of the lower elevation lodges at Canyon and Eagle close for the season, and inventory tends to rise. Due to well-substantiated concerns of the COVID-19 virus spreading to mass proportions within the Mammoth Lakes population, Mammoth Mountain suspended operations until further notice on March 15th. It was somewhat of a disappointing season up until the mountain closed with some of the lowest snowfall totals on record. Everyone was hoping for a “miracle March” and looks like March did turn out to be a snowfall miracle with the Mountain receiving over 10 feet of snow since it suspended operations. Some of the photos shown here in this blog post taken on April 15th of the Main Lodge area and Stump Alley Express really capture the “quietness” of the Mountain. In all of the years that I have lived in Mammoth and started skiing Mammoth when I was 10 years old, I have never experienced the kind of peace, quiet and stillness that can presently be felt, as well as observed. This is a “once in a lifetime” experience to witness this kind of solitude in what would normally be a time of hustle and bustle, especially after the March storms and spring break in progress.
