Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means

Big Bear City's housing market is showing some interesting mixed signals this July. While sales volume jumped nearly 22 percent month-over-month to 39 homes, this uptick is likely partly attributable to improved data collection rather than a true market surge. What's more telling is the year-over-year comparison: sales are actually down nearly 28 percent from July 2025, suggesting the market has cooled considerably over the past year. The median price of $390,000 remains up 13.4 percent annually, but the monthly dip of 5.5 percent hints at softening momentum heading into late summer.

The most encouraging sign is how much faster homes are moving. Days on market dropped from 155 to 111 days month-over-month, and sellers are getting 97.4 percent of asking price—both indicators of a reasonably balanced market. However, with 620 active listings and median asking prices around $399,000, there's no shortage of inventory. Buyers have meaningful choice here, which likely explains why DOM remains elevated compared to tighter California markets. The seasonal summer slowdown combined with persistent economic uncertainty probably explains why we're seeing price softness despite year-over-year gains. For now, Big Bear remains a buyer's market with negotiating room.
