Key Insights on Mammoth Lakes Real Estate
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 3 bedroom and 3 full bath and 2-car garage townhome is in super clean condition. I call it a deluxe crashpad because that is what it is; great utility with compact, modern efficiency. The project was built in 2006 by Presson Construction of Mammoth Lakes. So this light-and-bright tri-level townhome was built to modern construction codes and quality. It has forced air gas heating, gas cooking … [Read more...]
Like the historic log cabins of nearly 100 years ago, Mammoth gambrels are from a bygone era too. What is a gambrel? Some people call them flat roofed "A" frames because they don't have perpendicular side walls. But for the most part these structures are the product of the 1970's and affordable/inexpensive construction of that period. The same residential lots people today want to construct … [Read more...]
408 Manzanita #4 –– This could make a great crashpad for a small family, or some couples, or anybody? Or make a nice little home (that's what it was originally designed for). This is 2006 completed construction; a three level townhome with 2 bedrooms / 2 baths and a nice 1-car garage with extra storage and laundry hookups. Plus all of the modern features including a granite kitchen, forced air … [Read more...]
141 Larkspur Lane -- Now this isn't for everybody (what is?) and it isn't in Mammoth, but it is in the same zip code as Mammoth. This bank owned home is in the Rocking R subdivision in Crowley Lake. It is located at the end of a dead-end street and backs up to open space and overlooks the new baseball field. This is a modern built 4 bedroom + den / 3 bath home with garage. It is an efficient … [Read more...]
Sierra Manors #63 –– Okay, inputting this is a "laugh out loud" (LOL) moment for me. Mammoth real estate agents love to brag about selling the high-end properties to their affluent clients, blah, blah, blah (I sometimes wish I was one of those!). But in the 80's we focused on "bread-and-butter" deals in Mammoth, and in many ways the market is back to that. The crashpad segment of the local … [Read more...]
Sierra Valley Condos #15 -- Forget the loud colors, this soon-to-be-listed 3 bedroom/2 bath end-unit townhome has a nice laundry area, 1-car garage, den, deck and parking+storage out in front. Okay, this property really needs a painter. But about 20 gallons of a nice shade of white and it would look great. Add in some general clean-up and a few minor repairs and it would be just dandy. This … [Read more...]
This Mammoth Real Estate Q&A appears in this week's issue of The Sheet. Town has loaded up with visitors and the snow condition are excellent. I'm back and I'll likely be showing property all week. Q: We’ve been looking at Mammoth townhomes in the mid price range and lower end homes and we’re surprised how few of the properties in this price range have good garages. We mainly want a … [Read more...]

From the President's Holiday (Feb.) issue of the Mammoth Real Estate Times. Q: In your writings you often use the term “affordable housing” and I’m not really sure what you are referring to.
