It’s almost SPRING! I hope everyone is staying safe and well.
THANK YOU to everyone who donated to my fundraiser to help the Mammoth Community Foundation for donations to the Mammoth Food Bank. With your help we raised $1,100 to help the many employees in Mammoth that are struggling to feed their families.
Congratulations to local author Kendra Atleework who's debut memoir, Miracle Country, is featured in the spring 2021 issue of Westways Magazine. Kendra grew up in our area and is a graduate of Mammoth High School.
The town of Mammoth Lakes has been busy since lodging has reopened. The Village is seeing crowds almost like the “old days” with the exception of outdoor dining and masks required we are gaining momentum for our ever unusual ski season.
The market is still hot here in Mammoth Lakes!!! Many multiple offers!! However, inventory is still low so if you are thinking about selling a home now is a great time. In all my years here I have never seen the inventory so tight. For buyers, mortgage rates are still low so it’s a great time to purchase. Let me know if you would like to speak to a lender regarding a new purchase or refinancing, I have several preferred lenders that I can recommend. If you are interested in buying or selling you can contact me anytime! Mammoth Owners, if you would like a current market evaluation on your property value just send and email or call, I’m here for you!
We will come back and be better than ever and hopefully come out a little wiser! Look forward to seeing you in Mammoth!

Mono Most Likely Headed to Red Tier on March 10 |
|
Source: Mammoth Times
Mono County is making impressive progress in its fight against Covid-19, with rapidly dropping case counts that could put it in the Red Tier as soon as March 10, county officials said this week.
At the same time, the county continues to out-perform all of the 57 other counties in the rest of the state in the number of vaccinations it has administered, with 4,695 second doses (as of March 2) administered in a county of about 15,000 people. Again, as stated in previous reporting, health officials think herd immunity in the county can be reached at between 8,000 and 10,000 vaccines fully administered, meaning Mono County is nearly half-way to its own high-end goal.
The reason the county could be eligible for the Red Tier, which will allow a much-expanded opening of businesses such as some indoor dining, is because the county’s cases per 100,000 has dropped to about 5.1 percent. These improvements, which have to be sustained into March 10 (this is expected), will allow the county to move to the Red Tier.

One Fine Weekend in Mammoth Lakes
Head to the Mammoth Lakes area for unparalleled skiing and other snow-packed adventures.

Source: Diablo Magazine
Mammoth Lakes, in the Sierra Nevada mountains of east-central California, features spectacular winter playgrounds at its ski resorts and in the sweeping countryside around them. Rolling hills, icy alpine lakes, evergreen forests, and steaming geothermal pools create a wonderland amid a backdrop of towering snowcapped peaks.
A visit from the East Bay on a long weekend promises an opportunity to hit the slopes, commune with nature, relax in hot springs, and feast on local cuisine and microbrews. Mammoth is reachable via a quick one-hour flight from SFO (United Airlines has nonstop flights to Mammoth Yosemite Airport) or a 320-mile, five- to six-hour drive from Oakland, weather permitting. (Note: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, expect reduced capacity at all lodging, dining, and indoor facilities. Be sure to check ahead for the latest details.)

Eastern Sierra native Kendra Atleework grew up in Swall Meadows. In her debut memoir, Miracle Country, Atleework writes about growing up in the area, leaving after her mother's death, and returning to settle in Bishop.
"Kendra Atleework grew up in Swall Meadows, in the Owens Valley of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, where annual rainfall averages five inches and in drought years measures closer to zero.
Kendra’s parents taught their children to thrive in this beautiful, if harsh, landscape, prone to wildfires, blizzards, and gale-force winds. Above all, they were raised on unconditional love and delight in the natural world. After Kendra’s mother died of a rare autoimmune disease when Kendra was just sixteen, however, her once-beloved desert world came to feel empty and hostile, as climate change, drought, and wildfires intensified. The Atleework family fell apart, even as her father tried to keep them together. Kendra escaped to Los Angeles, and then Minneapolis, land of tall trees, full lakes, water everywhere you look.
But after years of avoiding her troubled hometown, she realized that she needed to come to terms with its past and present and had to go back. Miracle Country is a moving and unforgettable memoir of flight and return, emptiness and bounty, the realities of a harsh and changing climate, and the true meaning of home. For readers of Cheryl Strayed, Terry Tempest Williams, and Rebecca Solnit, this is a breathtaking debut by a remarkable writer."
Available now online and in bookstores.

Bidding Wars Off the Charts |
Source: CNBC
Buyers are increasingly facing fierce bidding wars in their hunt for a home. Even as home prices surge and competition remain tight, house hunters are undeterred.
About 40% of potential buyers who’ve been searching for a home say they haven’t bought a house yet because they keep getting outbid, according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders. A year ago, the primary reason cited was unaffordable prices.
About 56% percent of Redfin real estate professionals reported facing a bidding war with their buyer offers in January. Bidding wars are occurring the most frequently with properties between $800,000 and $1 million, Redfin reports.

Home Prices Hit Record Highs.
Is it a Bubble About to Burst?
|
The nation's surging home prices don't seem to care about the recession the country is mired in. They can't be bothered by the deadly coronavirus pandemic or the double-digit unemployment that's come as a result. Instead, prices are defying logic, expectations, and even belief, as they shoot up to record highs amid an unprecedented health and economic crisis.
It has all led some to wonder: Are some markets getting too hot? Could a significant correction be around the corner?
