Question: How Many Homes Are in Montecito?
32_40 Hammond_0019

Mountains on one side, the Pacific on the other, Channel Islands on the horizon. Tucked in between are golf, tennis, world-class beaches, unforgettable meals, boutique shopping, and music under the stars—all of it in a town that still feels like a town.

The secret is out. And space is limited.

In 2003, the average sale price in Montecito was $2.1 million. Today it's $7.7 million and the median has nearly tripled! Through every market cycle, roughly the same number of homes trade hands each year. Right now, heading into the quieter summer months, there are 79 homes actively listed. Nearly identical to this time last year.Screenshot 2026-06-21 at 6.50.29 AM

Answer: There are about 4,000 homes in Montecito. A number that doesn’t change, but prices do!
