Santa Barbara Real Estate area of Goleta North for the Last 30 Days from April 23, ‘08 to May 23, ‘08

For Goleta Real Estate North in the Santa Barbara Real estate area for Home Estate/PUDs there were 15 sales compared to 11 for ’07. Up until now Goleta North has trailed in sales compared to the ’07 numbers so hopefully this is a trend. The big difference in the Median Sales price which was $1,230,000 last year and this year it’s dropped to $790,000. That $600,000 to $800,000 range remains hot for the entire Goleta area. To re-enforce the idea of a trend we see that in ’08 for the period there were 19 homes entering escrow compared to the ’07 number of 18. The only number that has gone the wrong way this year has been the Days on the Market. For ’08 it has taken 85 days to get an accepted offer and in ’07 it took only 56.

For condominiums in the Goleta Real Estate North area of Santa Barbara Real estate there was only 4 that closed escrow compared to 6 for ’07. The Median Sales Price has risen however in ’08 up to $547,950 compared to the ’07 number of $530,000. But the number that stands out the most is in the condos that have gone into escrow for the period. In ’08 that number is 6 compared to just 1 for ’07. It would be great if this signals a turnaround in the Goleta condo market but we’ll have to wait a while to see if it’s a trend or just a blip.
