Q4 Market Report - Eagle Point
Eagle Point Market Trends: $800,000 And Over Price Range
The following stats are for the Eagle Point Area. I have divided the Total Big Bear Area into 10 Sub Areas to give you more detailed information on the area where your property is located. Unlike most of Big Bear, I didn’t break up the Eagle Point Market into two segments Up to $800,000 property value and the Luxury Market over $800,000. Because there really isn’t any sales in this area below $800,000. Every three months, I will post detailed quarterly market trend tables and graphs for each price range with a condensed but easy to understand examination of the market stats. If you want to just get the short version you can skip to the bottom and read the Summary.
Market Prices
In this price range there can be a difference of $400,000 or more in the monthly average price. Because of this volatility I will be using the annual averages instead of the monthly averages for the $800,000 and up Luxury market to analyze how prices are trending..
Because of the low amount of sales in the Eagle Point Area, there is statistically not enough turn over to give us accurate information. There has only been one sale since September. A better indicator would be the Total Luxury Market in Big Bear. But I will use the graphs to try and give us an idea of the Eagle Point Area. Remember that these are upscale custom homes where a view or furnishings can make a big difference in price. Each Cabin has to be analyzed on it's on merit.
Table 1 (below) was created from the last three years, average annual price graph (graph 1) for the Total Big Bear Area and the 10 sub areas. I will be using this table to analyze what trends I see with Real Estate prices in the $800,000 and up Market in these areas. The table and graph have the parameters of: Price Range $800,000 and up, from January 2020 to December of 2022. I have also printed the monthly graph (Graph 2) for the Eagle Point Area if you want to look at it.
In the Eagle Point area, in 2022 this area has continued with the price decrease that it has been experiencing the last 3 years. What started out with an average price in 2020, of $1,435,000 brought us to $1,085,000 through 2022. For an decrease of $340,000. This gives Eagle Point a $195,000 decrease over the Total Big Bear Area. Which gives it a ranking of 9 out of 10 areas in average price for 2022. So overall you can see that the prices in the Luxury Market for Eagle Point have had a decrease the last few years, and is not doing as well as the Total Big Bear Area and most of the sub areas overall. To see how the prices in the other sub areas have done for comparison please refer to Table 1 below or check out the write up on that area.

Sales vs Active Listings (supply and demand)
Table 2 shows what residential real estate inventory changes (Sales vs Active listings) have occurred for the Total Big Bear Area and sub areas. It is made up of monthly graphs for each area. Graph 3 below is for the Eagle Point Area monthly stats. These stats are compiled by using a parameter of: Price Range of $800,000 and up from the 2-year period January 2021 to December of 2022.
Because of the low amount of sales in the Eagle Point Area, there is statistically not enough turn over to give us accurate information. There has only been one sale since September. A better indicator would be the Total Luxury Market in Big Bear. But I will use the graphs to try and give us an idea of the Eagle Point Area. Remember that these are upscale custom homes where a view or furnishings can make a big difference in price. Each Cabin has to be analyzed on it's on merit.
You can see from column 5 that sales have stayed the same and listings have decreased by 1 this quarter compared to last quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022 had a decrease of 1 sale and listings stay the same as the fourth quarter of 2021. This shows us that economic influences of higher rates and inflation haven’t affecter sales or listings yet in this area. Given the current economic conditions I would expect the number of listings to go up and sales to decline. This will also put pressure on prices to go down. Which is what you would expect in a declining market. So overall this market is still in good condition.
Sales vs Expired Listings (strength of Sales)
Graph 4 In the Eagle Point area, the sales to expired ratios have been at a good level. With sales and expired listings close to a 1:1 ratio for the past few quarters. There will always be expired listings. And a 1:1 ratio is considered a good ratio for a stable market. Because there is so little data from this graph I would expect this ratio to change from quarter to quarter.
Summary
Because of the low amount of sales in the Eagle Point Area, there is statistically not enough turn over to give us accurate information. There has only been one sale since September. A better indicator would be the Total Luxury Market in Big Bear. But I will use the graphs to try and give us an idea of the Eagle Point Area. Remember that these are upscale custom homes where a view or furnishings can make a big difference in price. Each Cabin has to be analyzed on it's on merit.
With these numbers we can say that 2022 has continued with declining prices. There hasn’t been a sale in this area since October. But there are also very few listings to support sales. Expired listings have stayed about the same. For vacation homes in a luxury market this area is a declining market for now.
Economic data for the fourth quarter and beyond is all pointing to a continuation of a down market.
Expect the graphs for the first quarter of 2023 to reflect a continued slow Real Estate Market.
My opinion is that we are going to see prices continue to fall. Cabins will be on the market longer. Sales will decline. It will take longer to sell cabins and we will have more expired listings because of the sellers who don’t reduce their price.
