BASS LAKE 2022 WATER LEVEL UPDATE
PG&E will begin drawing down Bass Lake September 12, 2022. PG & E stated that since the Crane Valley Hydro unit has not been in use for a couple of years, it will require some testing and starting and stopping in the first few days. Once this phase is over, the drawdown will continue at about 2.5” to 3” per day to its normal winter elevation of about 22 ½ feet down from full, by mid to late November.
For now, the lake remains mostly full, and is here waiting for you! Feel the lake breeze in your hair. Listen to the soothing water sounds. Drift to sleep . . .

Housing Perspective – Why 2022 Might Still Be The Right Time to Buy
An important factor for homebuyers to consider is the outlook for home prices. Even with the rise in interest rates, housing demand still far outstrips housing supply in California and this trend is expected to generate more upward pressure on home prices. Despite the turbulent economic environment owing to the pandemic, the fundamentals in the housing market remain robust; the prospects for a surge of defaults and foreclosures driving a flood of new inventory onto the market are minimal as a result.
The California Association of REALTORS is currently forecasting that the median home price will rise by 5.2% in 2022, but there is consensus amongst other forecasters that prices will continue to rise as well. Taken together, that means that the cost of waiting until next year will be two-fold: paying higher prices at even higher interest rates—something that will have significant financial implications for homeowners over a 30-year loan period.
Finally, the white-hot market characterized by extreme competition amongst buyers that prevailed last summer, has ebbed slightly creating a bigger window of opportunity for would-be homeowners. Although still very tight by historical standards, homes are staying on the market slightly longer now than they were in 2021. In addition, the percentage of homes selling for more than the asking price has also fallen slightly—another positive development for those submitting offers. As always, the decision on when is the “best time to buy” a home comes down to individual personal and financial circumstances. However, an improving economy, rates that are still near historic lows, and the prospect of both higher prices and higher interest rates in the future suggest that, for those in a position to be able to do so, 2022 could be a good time for many homebuyers to finally achieve the American Dream of homeownership.
