The above article appeared in the Wall Street Journal a couple weeks ago. This may put additional pressure on our inventory, which should help to sustain prices. Great news for sellers but may continue to widen the affordability gap for a lot of would-be buyers.

January sales were up significantly year over year. It looks like February sales are going to be up as well. However, available inventory seems to be dropping off. There are currently only 35 homes for sale in Montecito priced from $2M - $44M and an additional 7 condos priced from $1.9M - $5.9M - not a lot to pick from.

Hope Ranch, also in the higher end of our housing market but a relatively small market with only 700 properties, had two sales in January - one off market at $4,370,000 and one in the MLS for $7,500,700.
For all of 2023 Hope Ranch experienced 19 sales and no sales in the month of December.
