santa barbara: January Market Update for Santa Barbara, Montecito and South Santa Barbara County - 02/23/10 09:03 AM

Here is a market update for Santa Barbara, Montecito and South Santa Barbara county.
For the month of January, in South Santa Barbara County, there were about 60 sales. Last year, for January 2009, there were only 44 sales, so our numbers are up. (December we posted 95 sales - end of year activity, no doubt.)
In the $1M to $2MM category, there were 27 sales in December 2009 but only 7 in January of 2010. I believe this is a result of lack of inventory in this price range.
Below $1M, or entry level in South Santa Barbara County, there … (0 comments)

santa barbara: What to do in our Changing Real Estate Economy - 02/02/10 11:40 AM

What to do in our Changing Real Estate Economy? All of us know that the real estate market is changing. How quickly you adapt to the change is how much you keep to your current sales level or grow your business. Many top agents like this changing market because their business grows and others drop out of the business eliminating some competition. More than ever, keeping ahead of the market trend is going to separate the winners from the losers. All that said, what do you do?

santa barbara: Pueblo-Style Architecture in Santa Barbara, California - 02/01/10 10:38 AM

Pueblo-Style Architecture in Santa Barbara Spanish influence was established early — but with a touch of green Casa de la Guerra was built in the 1820s to house Presidio Comandante José de la Guerra. (Marc Compton photo / Harrison Design Associates)

Thick plaster walls, burnt red roof tiles, and a relaxed Mediterranean climate are hallmarks of Santa Barbara’s architectural style. These hallmarks are living reminders of our city’s history. They reach back to the early days when the Spaniards first established their fort, or presidio, amid a thriving Chumash Indian civilization. For Spain, California was important in two ways.

santa barbara: Samarkand, Santa Barbara, Rich in History - 01/31/10 05:35 AM

My area of specialty in Santa Barbara is the Samarkand Neighborhood, rich in history and a wonderful place to live. Samarkand means "Land of Heart's Desire" in Persian and we are lucky to have The Samarkand of Santa Barbara as part of our diverse neighborhood. The following article was written by John Hall, who works for The Samarkand of Santa Barbara.
The Samarkand of Santa Barbara began as a boys’ school in 1916. Then, it became a plush hotel decorated with Persian rugs and Flemish tapestries. It thrived in the “Roaring Twenties,” changed hands after the stock market crash in 1929, … (0 comments)

santa barbara: Samarkand Santa Barbara California Activity for 2009 - 12/11/09 05:53 AM

This year has been a mixed market for sellers and buyers in all areas of the south coast of Santa Barbara, including our neighborhood, Samarkand.
In the “low end” , it is now a Seller’s Market. With correct pricing, inventory has sold within a few days on the market and often with multiple offers. Inventory is low and much needed.
For properties valued above $1,000,000, it remains a Buyer’s market, with many days on the market, few showings and fewer offers. A property must be perceived to be a “bargain” in order to get any action. We have seen some short … (1 comments)

santa barbara: Santa Barbara Homes- Affordable Loan Modification Program - 09/23/09 09:40 AM

The Loan modification program will work for many in Santa Barbara CA. The median price for Santa Barbara homes for sale is just under $1,00,000 right now and many loans may qualify. While we do have second and third home owners here, loans for primary residences will qualify. The goal is to avoid foreclosure, and in Santa Barbara, foreclosures represent less than 5% of sales activity.
