Key Insights on Mammoth Lakes Real Estate
After many months of watching crews work both north and south on Hwy. 395, the crews recently started working very close to home. They have been working inward from Hwy. 395 on Sawmill Road and were drilling very close to Hwy. 203 near McDonalds in the last week. This makes sense because Sawmill Road is mostly dirt and can be conventionally trenched. At first I thought they were bringing the fiber … [Read more...]
Talk about a cool little house. Here is what I refer to as a "historic A-frame" home that has an amazing remodel/transformation. The result is a smaller home with TONS of utility that is modern-chic that marries-in many of the LA mid-century features and feel. Certainly not for everybody, but nothing was done cheaply or poorly in this property transformation. And I'm one who always says you have … [Read more...]
Q: We hear the Town has passed a new ordinance pertaining to fireplaces. Can you give us some details and how this might/will affect real estate sales, transactions and values? A: The new ordinance was signed into place last month (March 20). It will be referred to as “13-03” and it passed rather quietly. But there was significant public notice/information and media coverage prior to the … [Read more...]
This is something different in the REO world.... This is the "classic" Mammoth fourplex that was very typical of the early 1990's. I sat on the ML Planning Commission during that period and we had public hearings on many of these buildings/developments. There were numerous issues pertaining to density, setbacks, etc. but the Town was eager to see these types of housing units built. Today, they … [Read more...]
The Mammoth foreclosure pipeline will soon take a respite of unknown duration. It’s all part of the ongoing “controlled burn.” The California Legislature is the major culprit this time. I’m not complaining, this happened last summer and it made for a enjoyable summer after a busy fall, winter and spring. Regular real estate keeps me busy enough. But the new California Homeowner’s Bill of … [Read more...]
This is one of my most favorite floorplans in all of Mammoth; the 2 bedrooms + den / 2 baths at Mountainback. This is a very spacious unit and all on one level. These floorplans sit on the corners of the buildings so they have numerous windows and get lots of light. This particular unit has a unique location overlooking the Lakeview connector between Lakeview Blvd. and Lake Mary Road. For many … [Read more...]
Here's a home on one of the better/un-compromised lots in The Trail. What does that mean? Well, many of the "view" locations in The Trails also have views of the Industrial Park, or the Elementary school (and screaming kids), or butt up along the bike path and Meridian Blvd. This corner location is in the heart of The Trails subdivision and has none of those. There are mature aspens on and around … [Read more...]
This isn't for everybody, but somebody will want this little 2 bedroom / 1 bath home located in Sunny Slopes. There's plenty of parking in the front, the bedroom are both good sized, the bathroom has washer and dryer hookups, there are newer vinyl clad double pane windows, a pellet stove, and mud-room entry. This is a classic Eastern High Sierra crashpad. This is out of the heavy snow load. … [Read more...]
Here's a townhome that is worthy of either a minor clean-up or a significant remodel. This 2 bedroom + loft / 2.25 bath property really just needs a little paint and TLC and some new carpet and it is ready to furnish and start enjoying. But the MeadowRidge project has allowed some well-thought out remodel improvements that make the units extra nice. Those small remodels include enclosing the entry … [Read more...]
Okay, this isn't Mammoth, but for those looking to get out of the snow and have a couple acres of land, Pinon Ranch is a great location. This modern subdivision sits below Swall Meadows on the shelf overlooking Round Valley, Bishop and the Owens Valley. You're 30 minutes to Mammoth and 20 minutes to Bishop. The views are panoramic and incredible. The Sierra is right in your face. The main kitchen … [Read more...]
