The Mesa Neighborhood has long been one of the most desirable areas to live in all of Santa Barbara- for a variety of reasons. For some, its the close proximity to the beach, the harbor, and state street; For others- being close to many parks, a great elementary school, and convenient shopping and dining. People who have lived on the Mesa would agree that it provides a small beach town feel and a certain “Mesa” lifestyle. For these reasons, the real estate market on the Mesa is different than many other neighborhoods around town. Lets take a look!

The Market:
The inventory is constantly lower than other neighborhoods in the Santa Barbara area, and the lower-priced homes generally do not last very long. To give an idea of the current market on the Mesa, as of November 8th- there are currently 17 single family residences available priced between $949,000 & $3,500,000 and a median price of $1,425,000. In the last year, there have been 50 single family homes sold on the Mesa between $820,000 and $3,300,000. Almost 50% of these sold listings were on the market for less than 30 days, and roughly 75% of these homes were sold in under 60 days!

Fortunately, there are excellent values for the patient/ready buyer. One current Mesa listing with great value is this beautiful 3bed/1 bath home at
206 Santa Catalina Avenue.

It is just 6 houses to Leadbetter Beach and Shoreline Park! Has an oversized lot and a great yard. This amazing find has only been on the market for 13 days and won’t last!
