Hope Ranch Santa Barbara is an exclusive enclave of homes near the beach that also offers close proximity to downtown and shopping and dining. There are roughly 500 homes, all of which have larger parcel sizes, most of which are over 1 acre. The homes are nestled into the landscaping and miles and miles of horse trails in such a way that you achieve maximum privacy while still having somewhat of a connected feel to the rest of the community. There is also a stunning golf course, clubhouse, and a private beach and park for the neighborhood, as well. Properties sell for $1,400,000 to $40,000,000, and not a single property has sold for less than that in the last handful of years, even the smaller lots and houses on busier parts of the neighborhood. Many Hope Ranch home buyers purchase the home for the “lot” value alone, while others purchase to obtain the many charming features and extensive remodeling.

There are roughly 500 homes, all of which have larger parcel sizes, most of which are over 1 acre. The homes are nestled into the landscaping and miles and miles of horse trails in such a way that you achieve maximum privacy while still having somewhat of a connected feeling to the rest of the community.

Properties sell for $1,400,000 to $40,000,000, and not a single property has sold for less than that in the last handful of years, even the smaller Hope Ranch lots and houses on busier parts of the neighborhood. Many Hope Ranch homebuyers purchase the home for the “lot” value alone, while others purchase to obtain the many charming features and extensive remodel.

There are currently some excellent Santa Barbara real estate values under $600k, as this is one of the best times of the year to purchase a home in Santa Barbara. Given the Holiday season, most buyers and agents are either distracted, have put their home search on hold, or are already out of town. As a result, many of the excellent deals that come on the market around this time of the year get missed by the vast majority of the buyers. Already, two of my clients have picked up properties at prices that I haven’t seen in the last couple of years.

Here are some of the top Santa Barbara home values:

• 3/2 downtown (just two blocks from state street) house for $389k! EXCELLENT value
• 2 bed house on the mesa for $630k
• 3 bed house in the Samarkand for $601k
• 4/2 bath house currently set up as two, 2/1 units (duplex) in Mission Canyon with ocean views for $599k
• 3/1.5 house in San Roque for $599k. Bank has approved the short sale at $585k
• Condemned house on a good location in the Westside for $279,900. Sold for lot value, but lots of potential for building a nice home and ending up far below market value
• 5 bedroom home in Kellogg school district, REO, for $599k

Here are the full listing details for these 6 properties: http://www.flexmls.com/link.html?romijdvuvee,1,1
