The Santa Barbara real estate market might be slowing down, but there has never been a better time to buy a piece of real estate. In a hot market, you had to jump on a home the minute you came across it.
You can take your time to search for the perfect home now, since there is a greater selection in housing. Room for bargaining is possible in the existing market. The whole process will take a bit longer, but buyers have more say at the table. Interest rates are still rather low, as of now. All things considered, you are going to get a pretty good deal, even though rates might not be at 6%, as they were in 2004.
Real estate is always a good investment. Owning a home will produce great tax bonuses, whether you are buying to sell or buying to keep.
