what does a squirrel know about lake arrowhead real estate and bank owned cabins

Your thinking what does a squirrel know about real estate. Well, I know plenty. For one thing I live in a tree behind a real estate agent. Her name is Kele. Every day she comes outside and gives me peanuts. She lines them up on the rail on her deck and I spend social time eating. I also stare back at her.

I asked her in squirrel talk --why do you give me peanuts? She said in e talk--I like you and it mellows me out after I spend my day doing real estate. Hey lady, other people drink a glass of wine!! Now I am not complaining because I like you. And I like those peanuts. She feeds those darn blue jays also but they make her smile so what the heck I will let her feed them.

Well, back to real estate. I was up at the window trying to get her attention. She was on the computer and the mls said that today there are 54 bank owned properties in the villages of lake arrowhead. Of these 24 are under 200,000. Plus of those 10 of them are 3 bedroom cabins or homes. So that is really something. Last year when I looked in her window there were no bank owned!The cheapest one is 40,000. You don't have to save many acorns to get that one.

Speaking of acorns, it is getting cooler. Cool nights and mornings. I am gathering and stockpiling for when it is really cold. Well sellers here in the mountains are getting worried about this change in the weather. Sure we get lots of holiday visitors. I sit in that tree and watch the cars going up to Lake Arrowhead village! But sellers know less people will go out exploring homes in the cold weather. What does that mean for someone who wants to buy a house?

It means they are willing to take lower offers than in the summer, they are slashing prices, they are making better deals, giving money towards closing costs, buying new roofs, giving cash back at escrow for remodeling or repairs. So this means if you see a house that is not quite perfect you can get the seller to help you make it the way you want it to be. What a concept.

Be right back---sorry some blue jay was annoying me heading for my last peanut. Don't let someone else get your little cabin. It is waiting there for you.
