Lake Arrowhead Docks.
The Lake Arrowhead docks season is coming to an end for 2010. I’m pulling my boat off Saturday before another storm rolls in. The weather for Lake Arrowhead calls for snow. Prices on Lake Arrowhead docks should be dropping as there is plenty of inventory available and few people buy docks in Lake Arrowhead just before winter. The Lake Arrowhead docks season picks up in March as everyone wants to be set before Summer.
Lake Arrowhead Docks Winter Precautions.
Make sure you winterize your boat or get it off the mountain and off the lake. Year after year people leave their boats to sink in the Lake. If you leave any inboard motor subjected to the freezing weather it is likely the block will crack. Hardin Marine can winterize your boat. If you have disconnected your gangway on your dock for the season KIWI Docks offers a great service to monitor your dock slip for the winter.

Only a lake Arrowhead Realtor has access to docks in Lake Arrowhead
Lake Arrowhead Realtor Local
Using a local Lake Arrowhead Realtor is important. Many out of area realtors do not belong to the local multiple listing service where most of the listings are. Out of area Realtors are unfamiliar with Lake Arrowhead real estate and do not know the area. Many out of area agents do not even know what lake rights are. Just recently I have been working with some buyers looking for a Lake Arrowhead Lot with lake rights as their property is outside the area of lake rights. Do not make the mistake of using anything other than a local Lake Arrowhead Realtor. If you choose to work with a non Lake Arrowhead Realtor you will probably be dis servicing yourself as there are so many unique qualities and disclosures for Lake Arrowhead real estate than an out of area agent would not know about.
Only about half of all real estate agents are Realtors- the top half, in our not-so-humble opinion. Realtors in Lake Arrowhead work independently, for small agencies, or for large brokerages.

lake Arrowhead Real Estate Foreclosure vs. REOs: What’s the difference?
Some Lake Arrowhead real estate professionals use the term to refer to all distressed properties. There are many terms and stages of the Lake Arrowhead Real Estate foreclosure process like short sales, REO’s, banks owned, foreclosure, defaulted, bank approved, auction status, ect… Although in Lake Arrowhead Woods there aren’t a ton of foreclosed home, most of the inventory is outside Lake Arrowhead. It’s rare to see anything lake oriented like a lakefront or lake view property in Lake Arrowhead become bank owned.
Here are the to set the record straight for Lake Arrowhead Real Estate:
Foreclosure is a legal process by which a defaulting borrower is deprived of their interest in the property. During this process the Lake Arrowhead Real Estate homeowner is considered to be in default and would most likely receive a NOD Notice of Default before the home was sent to auction at the county court steps. If you’re in Lake Arrowhead or surrounding areas and facing foreclosure there are ways to avoid being foreclosed and options that might be less devastating to your credit. At CAPRE California Professional Real Estate we help homeowners in Lake Arrowhead by negotiating with the bank to take less than what is owed on the property in order to find a buyer willing to pay market value.
Lake Arrowhead Real estate owned (or REO)
On the other hand, is a real estate asset owned by the lender that is taken back during the foreclosure process. At this point the bank owns the property and the seller will have bad credit for years to come. In Lake Arrowhead bank owned properties are usually sold in less than 30 days and sometimes have multiple offers. The sellers – banks price these properties in Lake Arrowhead to sell and will reduce the price every 20 to 30 days in order to draw offers.
Lake Arrowhead Real Estate – Short Sale
The short sales process is often troublesome and not a guarantee. After filling out the short sale packet and getting an offer in Lake Arrowhead real estate we submit it to the lender for approval. At this point the bank higher another Lake Arrowhead real estate agent to so a BPO Broker Price Opinion to get an estimate of market value. They also get an appraisal form an appraiser. They make you handover taxes, bank statements, paystubs, and a detailed hardship letter asking why you can’t continue to pay your Lake Arrowhead Real Estate. I’m working a short sale no in Lake Arrowhead on a million dollar property. The lender ever pulled the sellers credit report without approval. They scrutinized our offering package to the fullest extent. See below
“Good Morning,
I have reviewed all docs for the sellers property offering Lake Arrowhead real estate and I have a couple of issues that need to be resolved in regards to income and expenses:
Financial worksheet states $ 5500 a month in net income. Paystubs show $ 1500 a month in income. P/L statements have “executive income†listed as one of the line items, b/c he is the owner most likely this is his income. Provide an EXTREMELY DETAILED explanation as to why the discrepancy.
Credit report shows that homeowner is paying all other bills except the mortgages on this property. If someone is truly having a financial hardship then they are normally not paying most of their bills on time. Per our records Mr. Langdon is not living in this property so when his hardship letter states “his family’s home†that is not really the case. This seems to be a case of wanting to sell  investment Lake Arrowhead real estate b/c the value has gone down and not an actual hardship.â€

Today was a mostly nice day, the clouds didn’t quite make it over the rim. The temperature was about 48 degrees most of the day and the snow is retreating fast!

Today is a beautiful day at Lake Arrowhead, “I had to do a little boarding before I went in to the office.” From the Lake Arrowhead Village to Snow Valley it is only a 20 minute drive!
Currently there are 315 properties for sale in the Lake Arrowhead Woods area “Lake Rights,†Properties with lake rights start at $165,000.00 and go well beyond 2 million depending on their location. Lakefront properties start at $799,000.00 with most of the inventory priced above 1.5 million all the way to 9.5 million.
What are and where are the best deals in the Lake Arrowhead area?
Currently the best deals in Lake Arrowhead are the REO’S; bank owned properties. In most cases as soon as the property hits the open market there are multiple offers, and the bidding war begins. The sellers are pricing these homes 10 to 20% below market value. How do you avoid this or get your offer accepted first? The answer is simple….. Make sure your realtor is active, full time, and always available. Most realtors only belong to one MLS. Big mistake…… I belong to multiple MLS boards and get the new listings within hours of hitting the market. I am set up on auto email with specific criteria for each individual buyer that I am working with. It also helps to get a Lake Arrowhead Realtor who is personable and networks with other realtors on a regular basis. Many times we can sell an in house listing before it ever hits the market.
New Construction Properties in Lake Arrowhead:
Most builders are hurting, and they are slashing prices on inventory to get their homes sold. Many buyers are overlooking these great buys, unlike REO’s these properties are immaculate and also priced well. I have three new construction properties with lake right priced well below 400k. Six months ago these properties were all price 100k more. The builders are at the point where they are taking a loss and may need to write a check to the bank to get the property sold.
The Cheapies:
There are properties today priced below $100,000.00 that are in move in condition ready to go! Two year ago it was virtually impossible to find anything anywhere on this mountain priced below $180,000.00. The good news is, is that first time home buyers can actually afford these properties, and there still is 100% financing available!
Five reasons why the time to buy is now;
1. Affordability is better than ever, when was the last time you could buy a home in Lake Arrowhead woods for less than 200k?
2. You have a huge inventory to choose from; a large selection gives buyers more choices and drives down prices. And home sellers have gotten the picture.
3. Local builders are willing to deal and have cut profits to almost nothing.
4. Mortgage interest rates are at an all time low
5. If you qualify you can get a big federal tax credit.
