’08 through 2/14 for Montecito Days on the Market plus ’07 to ’08 cumulative numbers

Through the middle of March ’08 for Montecito Real Estate we’ve seen 28 Home Estate/PUD sales compared to 38 for ’07. But the high end has really taken over in ’08 tilting the Median Sales price up to $3,992,500 compared to $2,881.250 for ’07. And the bulge for the Average Sales price is even larger where we see a $5,178,071 number posted for ’08 compared to a $3,831,578 number for ’07. For ’08 it’s taken about 3 weeks longer to get an accepted offer but I think waiting 3 weeks more for more than a million dollars is a reasonable trade off.

For Condominiums in Montecito Real Estate there have been 2 sales compared to 10 in ’07. The Median Sales price is a lot closer. In ’07 that number was $1,500,000 compared to the ’08 number of $1,555,000. The Average Sales price is also very close with a $1,555,000 number posted for ’08 compared to a $1,666,000 number for ’07. It has taken longer in ’08 get an offer with the current Days on the Market being 162 compared to the ’07 number of 149.
