Montecito Real Estate from here to there....
from: Gary WoodsSo, where is Montecito Real Estate??? Well as with the rest of
Santa Barbara Real Estate the area is south facing to the ocean.
So starting on the East it begins in Toro Canyon about Foothill.
Then it continues up Toro Canyon and goes West along East Valley
Rd. up to Ortega Ridge where it goes Southwest down to
Sheffield. From there it goes South on Sheffield and on out to
sea.
On the West of Montecito is Hot Springs Rd. The border goes
North on Hot Springs and then West on Alston Rd. From there it
goes over the hill and meets up with Sycamore Canyon. Rd. On the
South Montecito goes to the Ocean and then to the North it goes
up above East Mountain Rd.
Okay, so now that you know where you are let's talk about the
different areas in Montecito. On the South you've got Miramar
Beach Rd and Edgecliff with some incredible estates and small
beach rentals. Farther West there's Bonnymede with some
wonderful Condominiums. Then farther still is the Biltmore Hotel
and some wonderful homes along Channel Dr. and Fairway Rd.
Just North of the Freeway there is what is called Hedgerow
Country and eve farther North from there is the area closely
adjacent to East Valley Rd. which is in the heart of Montecito.
Some beautiful old estates are all along East Valley Rd.
Farther up is the area around East Mountain which has some newer
and older estates. But the good news for those living in
Montecito is that the Average Sales price of those properties
which have closed is up 6% for the year. The sold prices have
gone from $3,009 million in '04 to $3.208 million today. So
prices continue to escalate but not quite at the rate of other
areas in Santa Barbara.
The highest priced home that has closed escrow this year is a
$27.5 million dollar home that has 8 Bedrooms and 10 Baths. The
least expensive home that has closed escrow this year is $1.195
millions dollars and has 3 Bedrooms and 2 Baths.
Some other homes that have closed escrow this year include: * A
$9.9 million dollar home with 6 Bedrooms and 8 Bathrooms. * A 3
Bedroom 6 Bath home for $8.75 million * A $5.9 million dollar
home with 8 Bedrooms and 6 Baths * And a 3 Bedroom 4 Bath home
for $4.3 million
Right now the highest price home for sale in Montecito is listed
for $24.9 million and features over 4 acres of grounds and a 6
Bedroom 11 Bath home. The least expensive home currently listed
is $1.35 and has 2 Bedrooms and 2 Baths.
Some other homes currently on the market include: * A $21.5
million dollar home with 6 Bedrooms and 9.5 Baths * A 6 Bedroom
