Time Is of The Essence, and the “I’m Not-In-A-Hurry” Buyer
January 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Real estate can be a funny business, especially in Mammoth. As I often tell people, the local market is for the most part a “don’t have to buy, don’t have to sell” marketplace. Only with truly distressed sellers do we find real motivation. Because most buyers are second homeowners or investors, the sense of urgency is diminished. Thankfully, the intent of real estate agreements compels … [Read more...]

The Mammoth real estate market is once again so aptly summarized by Intrawest’s marketing department; with them fire-selling their last remaining holdings (mainly the Westin Monache and Woodwinds) the … [Read more...]

September 9, 2009 By 7 Comments
Summertime in Mammoth provides some humorous glimpses of human nature. And after all who really cares--––--these people are on vacation. The first location, of all places, is in VONS. Sometimes I think I frequent there just for the entertainment. In summer there seems to an especially large number of folks who are obviously not regular visitors to supermarkets. Often they are middle-aged men … [Read more...]
