MAMMOTH LAKES
MARKET TRENDS REPORT
September 1, 2023
Feeling “Bleu”? We are too with the departure of Bleu Market and Restaurant. So…What is going in the former Bleu Restaurant space? This is a common question that our office gets and with so few restaurant options remaining in Mammoth, many folks are excited about the idea of a new concept animating the space. The former Bleu restaurant and Market space is most likely going to be a Brazilian style steakhouse, you know the restaurants where you get to pick a variety of sides, salads, sauces, and servers shave different meats onto your plate from hot skewers. I for one am excited about the concept and look forward to what the new owners bring to Mammoth.
Why Mammoth – Living in Mammoth we can often find ourselves a microcosm of the larger world around us, but Mammoth does have its nuances that separate itself from the rest of the world. Right now, we are finding people are being drawn to Mammoth due to their changing lifestyles and increasing demands on quality of life over work. It’s easier to work remotely while enjoying the benefits of the natural environment. Crime is less of an issue in Mammoth, and raising kids is a much safer option than the urban environments. Here is a video summary of Why Mammoth is home to us
Single Family Homes
The median sales price for a single-family home as of September 1, 2023, was $1,299,000. This figure is based on 32 closed sales in Mammoth Lakes Year-to-Date. 32 sales put us on pace for a total of 42 sales for the year, compared to 83 total sales in 2022. The lower volume is attributed to limited available inventory vs. the lack of demand; demand remains high.

Below is a summary of available (active) home listings at the beginning of each respective month:
As seen in the graph above, the number of active home listings (inventory) has been increasing since December 2022. As of September 1, 2023, the inventory is up 237% since December 2022, and is consistent with last month’s total inventory. The obvious benefits of increasing inventory are the market’s ability to fill demand, giving buyers more options and creating more competition among sellers.
