How’s The Market?

Last week in Montecito there were 3 New Listings, 4 Closed Sales and 2 new Pending Sales. 751 Buena Vista Drive closed for $17.5M, which is the largest sale we have seen so far in 2023.

Inventory is slowly creeping up in Montecito, nationally there is only a 2.9 month supply of homes which is considered tight inventory, as a 4.6 month supply is considered normal. However, 29% of that inventory is currently under contract – this speaks to the high demand – 25% of inventory being under contract is considered a “normal market.”

In Montecito there are currently 11 pending sales, which is 26% of all listings in Montecito (31 Active Listings + 11 Pending Sales = 42 Total Listings) – demonstrating a higher than average demand. Finally, homes that are priced well are still moving quickly. Nationally homes remained on the market an average of 33 days, up from 26 days, but they are still moving fast. 54% of homes were on the market for less than 30 days.
