Real Estate Market Update from August

Welcome September…

The kids are back at school and most of us are getting back into a new routine of drop offs and pick-ups…but all good fun.  So how is the Real Estate Market holding up? Let’s check it out!

As I look at sales this year compared to last year in Santa Barbara we are seeing less homes coming on the market, down 5.1% this year compared to last year.  The median list price is up 7.5% to $1,495,000 and the median sales price is also up 6.5% to $1,253,000.  We have had 786 single family homes sell through  August, which is a little ahead of last year’s 741.  There is still a lot of buyer competition for homes that are well priced in good neighborhoods.  The old saying of location, location, location is as important as ever.

Check out the new listing I have coming on the market at www.1726GrandAveSantaBarbara.com great  location, school, views, charm, and so much more!

If you are thinking about making a move or just interested in taking the first step, please give me a call or email me and I’ll be happy to help you.

Enjoy these long warm days!
