THE SMALL HOME TREND
Santa Barbara is a place where quality over quantity has always been a way of life, and across the country we seem to be downsizing to smaller homes.
Census data shows the average size of a new home has decreased from 2,309 square feet in 2022 to 2,171 square feet in 2024. Elegant, efficient homes in Montecito and Santa Barbara prioritize lifestyle, quality of life, thoughtful design and sustainability over sheer size.
