East of State St from 1/1/09 to 2/7/09 compared to ’08 for the Santa Barbara Real Estate area

For Condos in the Santa Barbara Real Estate area of East of State the total numbers of properties for sale this year is down by just 3% with the numbers of new listings off by 8%. The interesting part is with few condos to sell the escrows are up by 25% but the sales are down by 40%. Then to complete this whacky romp the average sales price is up by 11%.

The Home Estate market for the East of State St area of Santa Barbara Real Estate the total numbers of listings is down by 21% with the numbers of new listings down by 32%. The good news is that even though there are fewer properties to sell the escrows are down by only 1 from ’08 and the numbers of sales is down by just 2. Unfortunately what has fallen is the average sales price which is down by about 40%.

There’s not a whole lot of activity in the PUD market on the East Side of Santa Barbara Real Estate but last year there 5 properties to sell and this year there are 2. But there is 1 more new PUD than there was at this time last year. The rest of the numbers are goose eggs. No escrow and no sales for either year.
