Looking at the inventory of Big Bear homes for sale, there are still remarkably few homes listed. Last August we had about 250 homes for sale whereas this August we averaged about 225 listings.

In summary, sales are slowing after last years unprecedented boom in activity.

Considering this along with the incredibly low days on market numbers we're seeing, the overall market is still in a very strong position.
