It's another beautiful morning here in Lake Arrowhead. The skys are clear and the air is crisp at about 37 degrees Farenheit this morning. As we move out of our selling season and get ready for our winter months, Lake Arrowhead California is now down to 375 Active Residential Listings in Arrowhead Woods and Lakefront, and 735 Active Residential Listings mountain wide from Green Valley Lake to Crestline. This is not just seasonal, however. Due to Sellers finally pricing their homes at true market value, and home Buyers on the increase, our inventory has slimmed down considerably. Interest rates are below 6% and banks are ready to loan money. There are special programs for first time home buyers where they might qualify for applying their tax credit towards their closing costs or additional down payment. The first time home buyer tax credit has been extended through April 2001 and has been expanded to include current home owners. There are some conditions, so be sure to consult your accountant or tax advisor. There is not excuse why you shouldn't buy a home now in Lake Arrowhead CA. For assistance or more information, visit our Lake Arrowhead Real Estate website or contact Glenn Tinturin at 909-336-6733.

The weather is actually beautiful today here in Lake Arrowhead California. Even though they say we might get some drizzle tomorrow morning, it's bright and sunny today. My favorite event is happing this coming weekend, The Lake Arrowhead Art and Wine Festival.

The hours are Saturday from 10:00a.m. to 7:00p.m. and Sunday from 11:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to sip on different fine wines while you stroll in the park looking at fine art, crafts, and jewelry in the beautiful lakeside setting of Tavern Bay, Lake Arrowhead.
