The Santa Barbara real estate market might be slowing down, but there hasn't been a better time to buy a piece of real estate. In a hot market, you had to jump on a home the second you found it.
You can take your time to find the ideal home now, since there is a greater selection in housing. The current market also allows more freedom for negotiations. The whole process may take a bit longer, but buyers have much more say at the table. Currently, interest rates remain rather low. You are still getting a great deal, all things considered, even though rates might not be at 6%, like they were in 2004.
A home is generally a good investment. Whether you are buying to sell, or buying for good, owning a piece of real estate will generate great tax benefits.
