Crestline and Lake Arrowhead Vacation Homes are a Bargain right now!

Good evening all,

I was reading through my daily Realtor.com magazine and thought that I would share the news! Apparently the Wall Street Journal is saying that it is a great time to buy a second home in vacation spots. I think they are about a year behind on our Crestline and Lake Arrowhead market, which didn’t make the list from what I can see. Prices are down all over the country of course, we see that in the doom-and-gloom news on a daily basis but if you’re a buyer looking for a second home in a beautiful locale then this is great news.

Crestline and Lake Arrowhead are lake resort communities. Crestline has Lake Gregory, which is a county park and open to all for swimming, fishing, boating(rental boats only) kayaking and sailing. They have waterslides for all ages(yes I’ve been on them many times!) and a new water feature with water fountains and large sculptural flowers that pour and dump water on those waiting below. It truly is a lot of fun. Our one year old son loves the lake and especially loves the new water park. He enjoys watching the other kids and playing with the water. Crestline is a quaint small town community that has restaurants and shops as well as hiking along trails and around Lake Gregory. There is also a dog park and ball fields.

Lake Arrowhead is a private lake and should you have a boat that you want to launch you will have to have a vacation home within the Arrowhead Woods. This private community has several beaches and clubs around the lake to lay out and soak in the sun and trails that run around the lake to take a walk on. Waterskiing, kneeboarding, kayaking and boating are the big draw to Lake Arrowhead. We also have a lot of great high class restaurants, lots of cute mountain shops as well as some outlet shops. There are free concerts at the Village in the summertime and tons of events year round.

These communities have had much activity this year so far with people coming up to purchase a second home since prices are down about 50% from where they were in 2005. There are lake view homes for a steal(Crestline lake view properties), (Lake Arrowhead lake view properties up to $500k)(Lake Arrowhead Luxury lake view over $500k), Lake Arrowhead lake front properties that are just to die for with all of their richness and amenities, and properties that are close to both lakes that you can walk down to enjoy.

We are seeing multiple offers on our homes up here. If the house is priced really great and is in good condition, it’s going to sell within days of coming on the market. I have some buyers who have been outbid now on 5 different homes so we are having a sizzling hot summer! Not in temperature though, our temps are always at least 20 degrees cooler than those down the hill! It’s bee gorgeous up here!

Crestline and Lake Arrowhead are just a stone’s throw away for many regions of southern California so if you have been putting it off, you may want to make your appointments now before prices start to go back up! Come up for the fresh air and relaxation, and to be a part of a community again.

Take care and hope you all have a wonderful evening,
