Goleta North area of Santa Barbara Real Estate for 1/1/07 to 9/26/07 compared to ’06 for the same period

For the Goleta Real Estate North area of Santa Barbara Real Estate the Condo inventory remains exactly where it was last year at this time and there are 11% fewer new listings available to sell. With the number of fewer new listings to sell I would have expected to see a decline in the number of escrows but it’s been a lot smaller decline than I would have thought. The 2% decline in the number of escrows becomes even more interesting when we see a 9% rise in the number of sales. To add even more to this schizophrenia we see a 10% drop in the Average Sales price.

For Home Estates in the Santa Barbara Real Estate area of Goleta Real Estate North the inventory is up by about 5% but the number of New Listings is down by about 3%. The more bothersome numbers are the Escrows which are down by 5% and the Sales which are down by 10%. But even with the decline in sales we see a rise in the Average Sales price by a substantial 14%.

For Goleta Real Estate North for the PUD market for Santa Barbara area the inventory is only up by 1 property and the numbers of new listings is down by 23%. But even with fewer properties to sell the numbers of escrows has risen by 50% and the numbers of sales is up by 66%. Even the Average Sales price has come up by 9%.
