May Real Estate Roundup

I have really stopped reading the paper for local news ever since I ran across the option to get my news from the blogosphere. The news here locally in Santa Barbara is discussed on a number of local blogs. Most of them seem to have a good selection of real estate related news, so I thought I would share the topics and associated stories I ran across in May.

The articles on Noozhawk are always well written and good ones to read. Here is a sampling of the latest real estate news from them.

• The Real Estate Recovery Has Begun.
• Miramar Update
• Median Home Prices

Blogabarbara is another great stop on the information highway. Sara De la Guerra is the author and does a terrific job of voicing her opinion on local topics, and so do her readers.

• Wine Cask Courtyard Remodel
• Cold Spring Bridge Fencing Barrier Opposition
• Friends Of Cold Spring Bridge
• Goleta City Council & Bishop Ranch Developer

The Daily Sound is not wanting to be outdone and they are also a must stop when looking for local news. Here are a couple of good articles to check out.

• Naples Transfer of Development Rights
• Restricting Big Business in Carpinteria

Santa Barbara's Blog usually has stories many others aren't covering.

• Neil Ablitt's Unique Home
• Before & After Photos Showing The Disappearing Views In Town

If you aren't interested in the news and only the news check out Santa Barbara Housing Bubble. The author Santa Barbara has a very artistic way of relaying real estate topics.

• Furl Interrupted
• I'm Alright
• Three The Hard Way
• Saks And The City

That should keep you busy for a little while. The figures for May should be surfacing soon and I'll get that information out as soon as it does.

See You In Escrow!
