BUYERS: If you're still sitting on the fence waiting for the deal of the CENTURY... You're about to get left in the dust

I've noticed the past month, tons of activity in the Real Estate Market. At least in my Lake Arrowhead area of the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern CA. Now maybe we're a little different up here because this is a resort area, and MOST buyers are purchasing second homes. That said, I have been showing TONS of property lately and written (honestly, MANY offers) for people wanting a vacation home. This tells me that consumers that watch the "numbers,' are thinking THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY.

For those BUYERS still straddling that wobbly fence, I honestly think if you don't hop off that thing soon, you may miss some good deals. Interest rates are still low great (though the word on the street is that they will be heading up soon).

We have some wonderful Lake Arrowhead homes for sale in our inventory, but inventory is SHRINKING (down about 100 over last year). That is a SIGN times are changing.

So you don't miss out on a great deal, CALL ME! I'll send you a list of listings meeting your criteria.

IT's TIME. Don't get left in the dust!

What Defines Distressed Lake Arrowhead Property? (or, any property?)

Though there are many reasons a property may fall into a distressed situation, here are the main ones:

* The property is or may soon be in some stage of the foreclosure process

* The property may be in poor physical condition

* The homeowner has experienced a period of financial instability

* The mortgage on the property obligation exceeds the current market value, causing its homeowner to sell
