With 68 houses, the market is about detached cabins and chalet-style homes. Three-bedroom homes are the most common (34), then two-bed (20), four-bed (8), five-plus (8) and one-bed (3). The narrow band between €437,154 and €670,481 shows a fairly standard mountain price point; lake-view and ski-lift locations sit above that. Browse other US houses and land for comparison.

Four seasons, one lake
Big Bear has skiing and snowboarding in winter, boating and hiking in summer, and a village centre with restaurants. It draws weekend owners from Southern California, and many homes work as rentals. Short-term rental permits and local rules vary between Big Bear Lake and unincorporated Big Bear City, so verify the rental status of any home before counting on income. Also check snow-load roofing, road access in winter and wildfire insurance availability, since mountain communities in California face rising premiums.
Foreign buyers in the US
The US has no general ban on foreign buyers. Expect an escrow and title insurance process, a larger deposit for a foreign-national mortgage (lenders often ask for around 30 to 40% down; verify), and property tax of roughly 1% of purchase price plus local charges in California (approx.). When you sell, FIRPTA withholding of 15% applies to non-resident sellers, reduced for qualifying residence sales. See our US buying guide and financing page, and try the mortgage calculator.
Around the San Bernardino Mountains
Big Bear Lake and Big Bear City are the main lakeside communities. Running Springs and Lake Arrowhead sit along the mountain road to the west, and Yucaipa and Highland are valley towns below. Compare them via the United States overview.
