Big Bear City is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge reading as a seller’s market at 34. A high months of supply figure near 9.1, however, points to more inventory than sellers enjoyed in recent years. Longer marketing times, with homes spending a median of 91 days on the market, also suggest buyers have more room to evaluate options.
Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, prices have eased compared with a year earlier. The typical home value is down slightly year over year, while the median list price has also slipped, indicating sellers are adjusting expectations. Even with softer pricing, only about 16.67 percent of homes sold above list price, a modest increase from last year but still far from the peak levels seen in 2023.
Sales activity paints a mixed picture in this mountain community. Homes sold over the period fell nearly 12 percent compared with a year ago, yet new listings ticked up a bit, and active listings remain close to last year’s level. Months of supply has more than doubled year over year, rising from around 4 to over 9, which gives patient buyers more choices even as sellers retain some leverage. With these crosscurrents in prices, inventory, and time on market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto connecting them with an experienced local agent who understands Big Bear City’s shifting dynamics.
