The real estate market for the Southern California mountain community of Wrightwood Calif. peaked in June and July of 2006. Since then Wrightwood Real Estate has seen a continuous downward deterioration of home prices and activity. Although prices remain soft the Wrightwood real estate market activity seems to be experiencing an uptick. In January and February 2008 seven Wrightwood homes were sold. In contrast, in January and February of 2009, 15 homes sold almost doubling that of 2008 for the same period. It may indicate that Wrightwood mountain home sellers are approaching the price points that are meeting that of the buyers expectations. The main barrier to sell, in these times, seems to be the home lenders. They have shifted to the opposite extreme of the spectrum concerning credit. What we are currently experiencing is well qualified buyers having trouble qualifying for modestly priced loans. Wrightwood's Park Place Realty currently has multiple offers that are in a state of in limbo while anticipating and awaiting bank responses. With the onset of Spring real estate foot traffic in the mountain town of Wrightwood California seems typical for this time of year. We have noticed numerous local mountain home sellers transitioning their homes into the rental market as opposed to the further lowering of prices due, in part, to the stability and increases in rental prices and overall activity. These are good signs showing that we may be approaching a bottom in terms of real estate prices. As for the future buyers would do well to take advantage of the current market and price points, while Wrightwood real estate sellers should hang on for the much anticipated turn around which we all have hopes of surfacing in and around 2010. ...read more
