Expanded Air Service to Mammoth Lakes

Fly to Mammoth from Seattle, Portland, San Jose, Reno and Los Angeles!

This news is HUGE! Last winter, Mammoth Lakes successfully resumed commercial air service (since 1998) with one flight a day to and from Los Angeles International Airport. Although Mammoth Mountain was committed to subsidizing flights, because the flights were so full they didn’t have to. With that success, a push has been made for additional flights and Horizon Air has committed to a healthy schedule of flights.

Now it’s official! We will now have daily flights to and from Seattle, Portland, Reno, San Jose, and Los Angeles (now 2 flights a day). You can click here to view the 2009/

As far as Mammoth Lakes real estate goes, we’ve definitely seen an increase in activity this spring and summer, although prices still seem to be sliding downwards. Interestingly, we’ve also seen our inventory remain about the same (about 265 condos on the market). That means that although we’ve been seeing new listings come on the market, just as many have been selling. Most recently, The Westin developer has drastically dropped their prices and is making a big push to get their residual inventory sold. If you’re looking for a great deal at The Westin, now could be the time! We also have plenty of foreclosures coming down the pipe that will continue to drive the prices for now. If you’re looking for more information on Mammoth real estate and/or foreclosures, please feel free to visit our website at www.MammothLakesForeclosures.com to see up to date information on all current foreclosure listings.

On another note, we’re seeing some bizarre weather here in Mammoth today. They’re calling for snow above 9,000 feet (haven’t ever seen it snow in August!) and we’ve already seen some hail fall. Summer should return in a couple of days so don’t worry if you’ve got plans to head up this weekend!
