September Sales Activity for Montecito California shows 13 properties changing hands.    September of 2009 showed 20 properties selling.    Interestingly enough,  year to date 2010, we have recorded just over 100 sales in Montecito.    Comparing this with 2007 prior to the mortgage meltdown, shows 160 sales from January to September, or about 1/3 more.  The good news is that the 13 properties which sold in Montecito in September of this year were not distressed properties - no foreclosures, no REO (real estate owned, or bank owned) properties.  And all sales were over the $1M mark.  We are now calling these "Traditional Sales" as opposed to Normal Sales, with the new normal showing increased distressed property activity.  Below $2MM:  Hidden Valley Lane (technically Summerland, just eas...

Montecito Tea Fire Still Burning I recently attended an interesting meeting of the Montecito Fire Committee.  About two years ago there was a massive fire that raged in the hills above Santa Barbara destroying hundreds of multi-million dollar estates, known as the tea fire. Many of these homes were built on hillsides and back in canyons serviced by private roads that do not meet current fire dept specifications, primarily because they are not wide enough for the big modern fire trucks.  Santa Barbara County allowed owners that lost their homes, two years to rebuild through a streamlined permitting process without having to go through the multitude of committees and reviews normally required, and without regard to the current road standards that are now required.  For many reasons, many ...

Santa Barbara Hiking- San Ysidro Trail Santa Barbara's topography lends itself to some beautiful hikes.  The scenic Santa Ynez mountains tower over this coastline to the North and provide easy access to hiking trails.  Many of these trails start in the foothills just a short bike ride or drive from downtown.  I am always suprised to find flowing creeks and waterfalls on many of the Santa Barbara hikes.  Santa Barbara's average rainfall is only about 14 inches a year which is similar to many deserts.  On a recent sunny May morning I hiked up the San Ysidro trail back to the 60' waterfall.  Total distance is about 3.7 miles round trip with a 1200 foot elevation gain. The trail winds it's way up the narrow San Ysidro Canyon along the creek.  There are many pools and small waterfalls to be...

Three Italian Restaurants in Montecito Montecito is an excellent neighborhood because of many factors. However, not least among its attractive qualities is the excellent caliber of restaurants it offers. For a special occasion, or really any reason at all, it is possible to find many great places to eat in Montecito.  Featured here are just three of the many Italian Restaurants in Montecito:    Via Vai, Pane e Vino, and  Trattoria Mollie The Via Vai Trattoria & Pizzeria is located off of East Valley Rd in the Upper Village of Montecito and is a place to get lunch or dinner with great pizza and pasta. This restaurant offers reasonable prices, outdoor seating and a comfortable family atmosphere.  However it can get crowded at busy times so a reservation (805-565-9393) is might be a good i...
