The Seller’s Market Continues in Santa Barbara

To be clear, it’s still a seller’s market in California, and Santa Barbara specifically, with home prices staying strong. Even so, sellers need to adjust their expectations. While our limited inventory continues to drive prices, fewer properties are selling above the asking price, and homes are staying on the market longer. Buyers need to adjust their expectations, too, due to the tight inventory, which is expected to continue to drive prices.
