This past week, sales of Santa Ynez Valley properties fell short of the past month, with only two improved properties going into escrow, and three new listings. Two properties closed, both above the $1.0 mil mark. The pipeline for closings looks quite good, with 7 contingent escrows moving to “pending status”. This generally means that the significant contingencies have been removed, and, in the case of short sales, that lender approval has been obtained. These should be closing soon.

Here are the details

Santa Ynez Properties That Closed (Sold Final)

2505 School Street, Ballard

This rare 9.5 acre property in the township of Ballard offers a 2 charming 2 bedroom home, very compelling Zen guest house, a huge hobby barn, privacy and views. Not much of the land is usable. It had been listed for $1,495,000 and sold in 2 days! Someone got a good deal.

This one acre property is located up a private road off Hwy 246, and offers a beautifully remodeled 3 bedroom home, with big views over an opulent outdoor entertainment area with lovely pool. It had been listed for $1,095,000 and had been listed for 25 days.

Santa Ynez Properties That Went Into Escrow

2549 Elk Grove, Solvang listed at $759,000.

I posted on this property a couple of times, as I think it would be a fine deal at the listing price. This is especially the case for a young family, as the 1+acre property is located in the Ballard School District and is on a quiet cul de sac street. The standard ranch  home has cool designer touches. Big back yard with pool and room for some animals. Nice view as well.

500 Rancho Alisal, Solvang listed at $314,200.

This is one of the larger ranch homes in The Alisal and sits on nearly 3/4 acre of leased land. The current lease is $24,300 per year and adjusts in 2018. What does this mean? Prior to the adjustment date, the land will be professionally appraised, and the lease adjusted according to a change from the prior appraisal (done in 2003). Please contact me, 805 588.3616 for details on the Alisal Ranch properties.
