Fatherinorcu…, Home Buyer in Orcutt, CA

Is there more downside coming in Santa Maria / Orcutt home prices?

Asked Sun Mar 29 2009, 12:18 by Fatherinorcu…  -  Home Buying in 93455  -  2 answers
Tni Le Blanc answered:
I agree. It all depends on what happens with the inventory of foreclosed homes. Homes under $350,000 are moving very quickly currently and the prices do seem stable right now with some even being bid up. If a flood of homes comes on the market that could change things quite a bit, but it would be welcome nonetheless, as the current inventory is so low. My short sale listings are receiving about 5 offers in their first week on the market.

I think you take a chance using someone who is essentially paying for your business. If you think it will cause bad blood to use someone else because the community where you live is so small, you have a tough decision to make. But, if they are not even interested in your situation, you may miss out on key advice that an interested Realtor could give you. Good luck. - Mon Mar 23 2009, 19:38

How high is the rental vacancy in santa maria and orcutt in California?

Asked Sun Oct 26 2008, 16:32 by Mich  -  Market Conditions in 93455  -  1 answer
Tni Le Blanc answered:
As a Realtor and a local landlord, I've never had a vacancy problem in Santa Maria. And, most of the landlords I deal with do not report a vacancy problem in the local area. The military base provides an excellent and constant source of renters.

When I google this question, I come up with between 3 - 4% vacancy rate in Santa Maria/Orcutt per bestplaces, and AOL real estate. DataPlace puts this as high as 4.4%, for the entire County, and rates it as a low vacancy area: http://www.dataplace.org/area_overview/?place=x69424

And rates in Santa Maria are estimated at being even lower at 3.2%: http://www.dataplace.org/area_overview/Santa%20Maria,%20CA

Hope this helps. If you are thinking of buying a rental, I'd be happy to assist you.

Stephan, Home Buyer in San Francisco, CA

How are the shopping and local amenities in Santa Maria?

Asked Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51 by Stephan  -  Shopping & Local Amenities in Santa Maria  -  2 answers
Tni Le Blanc answered:
Hi Stephen,

I would say the shopping in Santa Maria is fair. We are the shopping destination of surrounding smaller communities such as Lompoc, Los Alamos and Nipomo. And, because the 5 cities / San Luis Obispo area blocked many big box and discount stores for many years we were the place to shop for many years. That is changing slowly but surely. For high end retailers you will have to go to San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara to truly be satisfied. But, considering that all these areas are well within driving distance from Santa Maria, I think we have above average access to shopping even though it may not all be here in Santa Maria proper.

Hope this helps,
