Santa Barbara Real Estate Home Sales Statistics - San Roque Neighborhood Year End 2009

2009 San Roque Real Estate Sales

Year to date, there were a total of 65 closed sales of single family homes and condos in The San Roque Neighborhood here in Santa Barbara CA.  As of December 14th, 2009, there were 10 properties in The San Roque Neighborhood that were pending sale (under contract).

The lowest sale in San Roque was a bank owned 2 bed 2 bath condo located at 2727 Miradero Drive #203, Santa Barbara, CA., 93105.  The sales price was $365,000.

The highest sale in San Roque was an original 1936 Farmhouse predating the San Roque homes themselves on just under 1 acre located at 687 Grove Lane, Santa Barbara, CA., 93105.  The sales price was $1,805,000.

Overall, the market in San Roque was a little slower than normal as far as activity in the first 6 months of the year.  In the last half of the year, the market here has picked up a decent amount with most good well priced homes pending sale rather quickly.  The combination of the current limited inventory in San Roque, minimal foreclosures in the area, the low interest rates and the overall feeling that we are fairly stable has made for a much better real estate market the last several months.

If you would like a more complete update on The San Roque market, specific information about the general neighborhood and/or any other areas within Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria, Goleta, Hope Ranch, Summerland, and/or The Santa Ynez Valley, please feel free to contact me.

Santa Barbara Neighborhoods - San Roque

View Overlooking San Roque

San Roque - Santa Barbara

Few residential neighborhoods of Santa Barbara can boast the rich historical background of the San Roque and Rutherford Park areas. Ten thousand years ago the area, bounded by Ontare Road, Foothill Road, Alamar Avenue and State Street, was an open expanse of treeless grassland, sloping up to the knees of the foothills and bisected by the jungled course of San Roque Canyon. Now a built-up, economically stabilized suburb, it is admired for its sweeping curved streets, its luxuriant landscaping, and its harmonious blend of many architectural themes - Spanish Colonial, English Tudor, French Normandy, California Redwood, Italian and American Colonial, mostly built since 1925. San Roque features older, custom homes with charm.  For many, San Roque is Santa Barbara’s quintessential family neighborhood.  The entire area is relatively flat and great for walking or biking.  Most homes have views of the mountains.

San Roque Real Estate values average around $ 750,000 to $ 2.5 million.
