Looking back at the last six months the south coast of Santa Barbara, spanning from Goleta to Carpinteria, we’ve not seen inventory this high since October of 2020 when the market was extremely active due to 3% interest rates, work/culture shifts due to the pandemic, and an influx of new buyers to our area. The increased inventory is welcome news to homebuyers.
