Properties in the Spotlight

As of today, June 1, 2015, there are a total of 181 condos, 63 homes and 51 vacant land listings on the market in the Mammoth Lakes area.  Inventory is slowly increasing as we approach the summer season, which officially kicked off on Memorial Day weekend.  Mammoth Mountain ski area is officially closed for the season, but the Sierra Star golf course is now in full swing.  The real estate market seems to be picking up with increased interest and inquiries regarding homes and condos on the market.  However, the number of properties currently in escrow remains low: Only 38 for all categories combined in the Mammoth Lakes area.  As we approach the 4^th of July, pending sales and inventory typically tend to increase and with August being one of the busiest months of the year for real estate sales in Mammoth Lakes.  Interest rates remain competitive and quite low even for a second home/vacation home property at approximately 3.75% for a 30-year fixed mortgage and 5/1 adjustable rate mortgage at approximately 2.89% annual percentage rate. 

Over the past 2 weeks, there have been 49 new listings, 37 price reductions and 14 closed sales (including surrounding areas for all property categories).  Below are the Properties in the Spotlight for new inventory in Mammoth for the week of June 1, 2015.
