What's New?
The week following the 4th of July brought a welcome surge of NEW listings across the Central Coast, from a $65M estate on iconic Picacho Lane to a vintage Palladian-style offering in Hidden Valley for $4.7M.
Now that we’re halfway through 2025, the headlines are loud and uncertain, but the luxury market is telling a different story. Across the US, the reports are that high-end real estate continues to hold steady. Nearly 90% of luxury sales this year nationwide have been all cash, with buyers moving quickly on homes that are turnkey, well-priced, and in prime locations like in Montecito and Santa Barbara.
And right now, Montecito and Santa Barbara are delivering with great listings that check every box. If you’ve been watching and waiting, below are a few of my top picks worth paying attention to:
