Our local market hasn’t ceased to amaze us yet Home and condo sales for January were up 22% over last year and the median sales price in South Santa Barbara County was up 30%! We are seeing our highest number of sales in the last 15 years, despite low inventory. 88% of homes that hit the market have sold and all in little to no time - with a median of 11 days on market. Last year the number of first time home buyers was the highest we’ve seen in 10 years and second / vacati...on home purchases were the highest we’ve seen in 4! Interest rates are still historically low, encouraging buyers that there is no time like the present. There is no evidence of a large number of impending foreclosures and both the California and National Association of Realtors predict home prices to continue to raise at a higher than normal rate over the next few years. Buying or selling, this is YOUR market! Let’s discuss what these stats personally mean for you today. DRE 02096482

Did you know millions of people visit Santa Barbara every year? A study in 2017 reported an estimated 7.2 million visitors visited the Santa Barbara South Coast. I can’t blame them - who could resist? We’re lucky we get to enjoy this everyday! DRE 02096482

Want to hear some numbers that may shock you? Last year’s closed escrows were UP 14% on average (with roughly two months of almost no activity)! Montecito sales were up 60%, Santa Barbara 10%, Hope Ranch 19%, and Carpinteria / Summerland 9%, with only Goleta being down 5% (solely due to lack of inventory, or it could have been up 10-15%). This is the first time in known history that Montecito closings (300) were higher than Goleta (297). South Santa Barbara County as a whole ...had 2,118 sales. But it gets more exciting than that.. Last year’s median sales price also rose drastically throughout the area. Montecito was up 18%, Santa Barbara 11%, Hope Ranch 14%, Goleta 10%, Carpinteria / Summerland 5%, and Condos 10%. A normal, sustainable appreciation is 4-6%! And it isn’t stopping.. In 2021 the California Association of REALTORS predicts housing prices will go up 13% nationwide and the National Association of REALTORS predicts they will go up 8%, with another 5.5% in 2022. Imagine what that could mean for Santa Barbara. The market is and things aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Buying or selling - it’s the perfect time to make these numbers work for you!

Did you know you don’t need 20% down to buy a home? This is often a misconception among buyers! Don’t talk yourself out of home ownership. Securing the financing that fits your specific needs is likely easier than you think and I’m happy to assist you! Before you start looking at homes it is important to get pre-approved by a lender. This will put you in a stronger negotiating position and saves you time in the long run with the loan-approval process. Why not put your best... foot forward? We have a number of wonderful local lenders that I would be happy to put you in touch with today (no strings attached) to see what your money could for you. Let’s make 2021 your year. DRE 02096482
